Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、ポリエステルフィルムに関し、易引裂性を有し、かつ優れた機械的強度、透明性、耐熱性、寸法安定性、ガスバリアー性、耐油性、耐溶剤性を有し、菓子、スープ、漬物、レトルトパウチなどの食品をはじめ、医薬品、日用品等の包装材料や各種工業用として有用なポリエステルフィルムに関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ポリエステルフィルムの用途は広く、食品用を始め、各種電気・電子部品、機械、設備機器、建材、薬品等、実に様々な産業分野で必要とされているが、ポリエステルフィルムを用いたその優れた機械的特性が災いして、引裂性が悪いという問題点を有している。そのため包装材料や粘着テープ等に代表される切断を有する用途には、セロハンが重用されてきた。
一方、セロハンは吸湿性を有するため、特性が季節により変動し、一定の品質のものを常に供給することが困難であった。さらにセロハンは非常に高価であるという問題がある。
【0003】
上記欠点を解決する方法としては、一軸方向に配向させたポリエステルフィルム(特許文献1)やジエチレングリコール成分などを共重合させたもの(特許文献2)や低分子量のポリエステル樹脂を用いるもの(特許文献3)などが提案されてきた。
しかしながら、上記従来技術において一軸方向に配向させる方法は、配向方向へは直線的に容易に切れるが配向方向以外には切れにくく、またジエチレングリコール成分などを多量に共重合させる方法は、共重合により本来の特性が失われるという欠点を有している。さらに、低分子量のポリエステル樹脂を用いる方法は、延伸工程でのフィルム破断のトラブルが発生しやすく実用的ではなかった。また、融点の低い共重合ポリエステル層と融点の高いポリエステル層を積層し、共重合ポリエステル層の融点より高い温度で熱処理する方法(特許文献4)も提案されているが、テンターのクリップにフィルムが融着したり、熱処理後の冷却工程で厚み斑が大きくなったりする問題が発生する。

【発明の効果】
本発明によれば、機械的強度、透明性、耐熱性、寸法安定性、ガスバリアー性、耐油性、耐溶剤性を損なうことなく、かつ低コストで製膜性に優れた易引裂性ポリエステルフィルムを提供する。[0001]
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a polyester film, having easy tearing properties, and having excellent mechanical strength, transparency, heat resistance, dimensional stability, gas barrier properties, oil resistance, solvent resistance, confectionery, soup, The present invention relates to a polyester film useful as a packaging material for foods such as pickles and retort pouches, pharmaceuticals, daily necessities, and various industrial applications.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Polyester film is widely used, and is required in various industrial fields such as food use, various electric / electronic parts, machinery, equipment, building materials, chemicals, etc. However, there is a problem that the tearing property is poor due to the harmful characteristic. For this reason, cellophane has been heavily used for applications having cuts typified by packaging materials and adhesive tapes.
On the other hand, since cellophane has hygroscopicity, its characteristics fluctuate depending on the season, and it has been difficult to always supply a cellophane having a constant quality. Further, there is a problem that cellophane is very expensive.
[0003]
As a method for solving the above-mentioned drawbacks, a polyester film oriented in a uniaxial direction (Patent Document 1), a film obtained by copolymerizing a diethylene glycol component or the like (Patent Document 2), or a method using a low molecular weight polyester resin (Patent Document 3) ) Has been proposed.
However, in the above-mentioned prior art, the method of uniaxially orienting is easy to cut linearly in the orientation direction, but hard to be cut in other than the orientation direction, and the method of copolymerizing a large amount of a diethylene glycol component or the like is originally performed by copolymerization. Has the disadvantage of losing its characteristics. Further, the method using a polyester resin having a low molecular weight is not practical because a trouble of film breakage in a stretching step occurs easily. Also, a method has been proposed in which a copolyester layer having a low melting point and a polyester layer having a high melting point are laminated and heat-treated at a temperature higher than the melting point of the copolyester layer (Patent Document 4). There is a problem that fusion occurs or thickness unevenness increases in a cooling step after the heat treatment.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]

It is preferable that the temperature be 5 ° C. or higher than the temperature. If the heat treatment temperature is equal to or higher than the melting point of the polyester layer (1), the film may be fused to the clips of the tenter, or the thickness unevenness may increase in the cooling step after the heat treatment, and the film may not be suitable for film formation. If the heat treatment temperature is not higher than the melting start temperature by 5 ° C. or more, the target tearability tends to decrease.
[0016]
If the melting start temperature of the polyester layer (1) of the film of the present invention is not higher than the melting point of the polyester layer (1) by 10 ° C. or lower, preferably by 15 ° C. or lower, the desired tearing property is reduced.
The shrinkage (150 ° C. for 30 minutes) of the film of the present invention is usually 10% or less, preferably 5% or less. If the shrinkage exceeds 10%, it may not be suitable depending on the intended use.
The tensile breaking strength of the film of the present invention is generally 40 to 180 MPa, preferably 40 to 140 MPa, and more preferably 50 to 120 MPa. If the tensile breaking strength exceeds 180 MPa, the tearability of the film may be impaired. If the tensile breaking strength is too low, the film may break during processing and may not be suitable as a packaging material.
[0017]
The haze value of the film of the present invention is usually 10% or less, preferably 7.0% or less, more preferably 5.0% or less. If the haze value exceeds 10%, the transparency of the film may be impaired, and the film may not be suitable as a packaging material.
The thickness of the polyester film in the present invention is usually 6 to 50 μm, preferably 9 to 38 μm, more preferably 12 to 25 μm, and the thickness of the layer A is preferably 50 to 90% of the entire thickness. If the thickness is small, the stiffness is weakened, which may cause wrinkles or breakage during processing, and may not be suitable as a packaging material. On the other hand, if the thickness is too large, the tearing property may be impaired, and it may not be suitable as a packaging material.
[0018]

(2) Melting point, melting onset temperature Melting point (Tm) and melting onset temperature (Tim) were measured using a Perkin Elmer Differential Scanning Calorimeter DSC7. The DSC measurement conditions are as follows. That is, 6 mg of a sample was set in a DSC device, melted and held at a temperature of 300 ° C. for 5 minutes, and then rapidly cooled with liquid nitrogen. The quenched sample was heated from 0 ° C. at a rate of 10 ° C./min, and the melting point and melting onset temperature were detected according to JIS K7121.

The film was pulled at a strain rate of / min, the load at the time of film break was measured, and the tensile strength at break was determined by the following equation.
Tensile breaking strength (MPa) = Load at cutting (N) / Cross-sectional area of sample film (mm 2 )
[0022]
(5) An oven set at 150 ° C. in a tensionless state by cutting a sample of the film into strips having a width of 35 mm × 1000 mm in the length and width directions (a hot air circulating furnace). Heat treatment was performed for 30 minutes, the length before and after the heat treatment was measured by a linear scale, and the heat shrinkage was calculated by the following equation.
Heat shrinkage (%) = [(ab) / a] × 100
(In the above formula, a represents the length (mm) of the sample before the heat treatment, and b represents the length (mm) of the sample after the heat treatment.)
[0023]
(6) Haze According to JIS K7105, the haze of the film was measured with an integrating sphere turbidity meter NDH-20D manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd.
