2. Description of the Related Art As a film forming process of a plastic film, there is a melt extrusion method (T die method or inflation method) in which plastic is melted by heat and extruded from a predetermined die to be molded. However, in the flow path in the die up to the slit-shaped nozzle, the molten resin may flow in a layered manner or unevenly, causing wrinkles in the film and making the thickness uneven.

Therefore, by disposing static mixing means in the flow path in the die up to the slit-shaped nozzle, the molten resin is mixed and flowed uniformly to prevent wrinkles and uneven thickness of the film. Is being carried out
1-212116). However, even when the static mixing means is arranged in this way, streak-like traces (flow marks, weld lines, etc.) may remain on the film as the final product, even if wrinkles do not occur. . The presence of the flow marks causes a problem that the doll looks distorted when a transparent plastic film is used as a doll case.

EXAMPLE FIG. 1 shows a first example of the static mixing means. This static mixing means has the same basic structure as a normal so-called static mixer (see FIG. 3). That is, the right twisting element 1 and the left twisting element 1 having a twisting angle of 180 ° are alternately arranged in the axial direction and the ends of the adjacent elements are crossed at a connection angle of 90 ° so as to be continuous. In this example, in addition to this basic structure, the right twisting element 1 located at the axial end portion (only one side) is extended along with the twisting main body portion 11 to the edge thereof and the plate-shaped straightening portion 12 is provided. Is equipped with. The plate-shaped straightening portion 12 has an axial length (1) and a width (d) that are substantially the same, and the wall thickness thereof is the same as that of the twist main body portion 11. However, the axial end portion of the plate-shaped straightening portion 12 is gradually and evenly thinned from both surface sides toward the axial end edge over the entire width, and linearly extends in the axial direction over the entire width. It is sharp (Fig. 1A). In FIG. 1A, the dotted line shows the state before the sharpening process. Reference numeral 2 is a flange joined to the plate-shaped straightening unit 12 by brazing or the like. In this example, the swirling flow can be straightened by the existence of the plate-shaped straightening unit 12, and the plate-shaped straightening unit 1 can be used.
Since the axial end portion of 2 has a linear pointed state in which the thickness is evenly thinned from both sides, the molten resin divided by the right twisting element 1 located at the axial end portion can smoothly join. Further, the rectifying action can be more effectively exhibited. Further, the buffing of the surface after the plate-shaped straightening portion 12 is joined to the inner wall of the flange 2 is easy.

Even in the conventional general static mixer, there is a conventional static mixer in which the end of the twisting element 1 located at the end in the axial direction is sharpened over the entire width (FIG. 3A). But,
It is extremely difficult to evenly scrape a twisted element such as a twisting element from both sides, and even though it is a pointed element, it becomes a disordered interface when molten resin merges due to twisting, forming a weld line. It is easy to do.

Such static mixing means A is typically used by arranging it in the flow path of the molten resin in the die when producing a film by the melt extrusion method. In this case, it is preferable to arrange the plate-shaped straightening section 12 of the static mixing means so that the width direction thereof is substantially parallel to the stretching direction of the film. Taking the T-die method as an example of the melt extrusion method, the longitudinal direction of the slit of the slit nozzle for discharging the molten resin and the plate-shaped straightening unit 1
It is preferable that the width direction of 2 is substantially parallel.

This makes it possible to prevent the generation of weld lines more reliably. That is, after being rectified by the plate-shaped rectifying portion 12 of the twisting element 1 located at the end in the axial direction, the molten resins as divided fluids merge, and the film is formed corresponding to the interface in the width direction due to the merging. There is a possibility that streak-like root marks (weldrain) may occur on the. However, if the width direction of the plate-shaped straightening section 12, that is, the confluent interface of the molten resin is substantially parallel to the stretching direction of the film, the confluent interface of the molten resin is absorbed in the thickness of the film. The whole is homogeneous, and as a result, it is possible to prevent the welder line from remaining as much as possible.
