【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、感圧接着性シートおよびその製造方法に関し、例えば親展葉書用のメールフォーム、値札タッグ、カード付きプリント用紙等のようにその表裏両面に感圧接着剤層を有し、一時的に密着を必要とする帳票等の易開封性感圧接着性シートとして好適に使用される感圧接着性シート及びその製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、金融機関、官庁等からの通知用として、必要事項をプリンター等で印字した後、封書形態等に折り畳み、接着して発送されるメールフォームが広く使用されている。そして、この種のメールフォームとしては、3つ折りに折り畳んで周縁部を接着し、開封時にはミシン目から3辺乃至4辺を切り取って展開する形態のものが広く利用されている。しかしながら、このメールフォームは開封時にミシン目から周縁部を切り取る必要があるため、ゴミの発生の問題と共に情報記録部分の有効面積が小さくなるという問題がある。また、このメールフォームは周縁部のみを接着しているため、現行の郵便法では封書扱いとなり、寸法を葉書サイズとしても安価な葉書扱いで郵送することができなかった。
【0003】
また、必要事項を一部に記録した後、接着用フィルムを挟み込んで折り畳み、接着し、受取人が接着部を剥離して必要事項を確認することができる再剥離性を有する形態のものが知られており、この形態のものは葉書扱いで郵送することができるが、このタイプのものはフィルムの挟み込み作業が必要となり、製作工程が煩雑となる欠点があった。
【0004】
また、ヒートシール剤を塗布した接着性シートも、耐ブロッキング性の観点から使用されているが、完全にブロッキング性を防止しうるまでにはいたっておらず、また、ノンインパクトプリンタにおけるトナーを使用した熱定着式プリンタでは、トナーの定着に加熱方式が利用されるために、ヒートシール剤が軟化してプリンタ内部を汚損するためにその記録方法が制限されるという問題がある。
【0005】
そのため、スチレンブタジエンゴム等の感圧接着性樹脂を主成分とし、これに耐ブロッキング性等を付与することを目的としてマイクロシリカ、クレー等の無機材料や、熱可塑性を有しない高度に架橋されたポリメチルメタクリレート(PMMA)粒子やポリスチレン粒子等を水に分散せしめた感圧接着剤を接着面に塗布したメールフォームが提案されている。このメールフォームは、接着剤塗布面に熱定着式プリンター等によって必要事項の記録が可能であり、また、開封時に文字等が転移することなく、感圧接着剤同士の接着界面で剥離でき、感圧接着剤塗布面に印字した情報の読み取りが可能であるという利点がある。
【0006】
しかしながら、マイクロシリカ、クレー等の無機材料は、感圧接着性樹脂との親和性が低く、感圧接着剤層中に保持されにくく、感圧接着剤層の形成後にはスポット状のベタツキ部分(ドライタック)が生じ、ブロッキングの原因ともなり、また、印刷時や印字時に粉落ち(パイリング)が発生するという問題がある。そのため、脱落を防止するためにその形状や粒径を調整したり、また、シランカップリング剤やバインダー等の本来不必要な成分の添加が必要であるなど、性能面を勘案した上でのコストに問題が生じている。特に、シリカはサブミクロンオーダーの微細粒子が2次凝集した集合体となっているために、チキソ性が高く、感圧接着性樹脂との配合比によってはスラリー化して添加したり、また溶剤分(エマルジョンであれば水)を適宜添加して固形分量を低下させる必要があるなど、その取り扱い性に問題があり、余分な工程やエネルギーを必要である。
【0007】
また、高度に架橋されたポリメチルメタクリレート(PMMA)粒子やポリスチレン粒子等にあっては、取り扱い性には優れ、また、一般的に使用される配合比においては増粘性も少なく、高充填が可能であるが、高価であり、また、無機材料同様に感圧接着性樹脂との親和性が低く、無機顔料と同様の問題がある。
【0008】
更に、このような、感圧接着剤としての問題の他に、表裏両面に感圧接着層を有する感圧接着性シートの提供が試みられているが、表裏両面に接着剤層を設けるために、例えばチルロール(冷却ロール)を使用したり、基材全体をフローティングさせたり、また、テフロン被膜を設けた特殊なバックアップロール等を使用して感圧接着剤層の乾燥に際して乾燥機内部を汚損させない方法を採用する必要があり、作製に際してコストのかかるものとなっている。
【0009】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は上記の点に鑑みなされたもので、顔料の高充填が可能であると共に、粉落ち等の現象を抑制でき、耐ブロッキング性と共に耐熱性、耐摩耗性に優れる、低コストの感圧接着剤層を例えばその両面に有する感圧接着性シート、および、その感圧接着性シートを効率よく作製できる製造方法の提供を課題とする。
【0010】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の第1の感圧接着性シートは、シート基材の両面に、感圧接着性樹脂100重量部に、融点が120℃〜220℃で、かつその粒径が0.1μm〜50μmの熱可塑性樹脂粒子を1重量部〜200重量部の割合で水に分散配合した塗液を塗布した後、前記の熱可塑性樹脂の融点付近に加熱して形成された感圧接着剤層をそれぞれ設けた感圧接着シートであって、該感圧接着性シートの一方の面の感圧接着剤層における熱可塑性樹脂の融点と、他方の面の感圧接着剤層における熱可塑性樹脂の融点とを20℃以上相違させたことを特徴とする。
【0011】
本発明の第2の感圧接着性シートは、シート基材の一方の面において相違する領域に感圧接着剤層がそれぞれ設けられ、かつ、該感圧接着剤層が、感圧接着性樹脂100重量部に、融点が120℃〜220℃で、かつその粒径が0.1μm〜50μmの熱可塑性樹脂粒子を1重量部〜200重量部の割合で水に分散配合した塗液を塗布した後、前記の熱可塑性樹脂の融点付近に加熱して形成されたものである感圧接着シートであって、該感圧接着性シートの一方の領域の感圧接着剤層における熱可塑性樹脂の融点と、他方の領域の感圧接着剤層における熱可塑性樹脂の融点とを20℃以上相違させたことを特徴とする。
【0012】
本発明の第3の感圧接着性シートは、シート基材面に感圧接着剤層が積層して設けられ、かつ、該感圧接着剤層が、感圧接着性樹脂100重量部に、融点が120℃〜220℃で、かつその粒径が0.1μm〜50μmの熱可塑性樹脂粒子を1重量部〜200重量部の割合で水に分散配合した塗液を塗布した後、前記の熱可塑性樹脂の融点付近に加熱して形成されたものである感圧接着シートであって、該感圧接着性シートにおけるシート基材側の感圧接着剤層における熱可塑性樹脂の融点が、該シート基材側の感圧接着剤層上に積層される感圧接着剤層における熱可塑性樹脂の融点より20℃以上高いものとされると共に、該上層に積層された感圧接着剤層を内側として前記感圧接着シートが折り畳まれ、該内側とされた感圧接着剤層同士が感圧接着され、該感圧接着された感圧接着剤層同士の間を剥離可能とすることを特徴とする。
【0013】
本発明の感圧接着性シートの製造方法は、上記第1〜第3の感圧接着性シートの製造方法であって、シート基材面に、感圧接着性樹脂100重量部に、融点が120℃〜220℃で、かつその粒径が0.1μm〜50μmの熱可塑性樹脂粒子を1重量部〜200重量部の割合で水に分散配合した塗液を塗布した後、前記の第1の熱可塑性樹脂の融点付近に加熱して第1の感圧接着剤層を形成し、次いで、感圧接着性樹脂100重量部に、前記第1の熱可塑性樹脂より20℃以上低い融点を有する第2の熱可塑性樹脂をその粒径が0.1μm〜50μmの粒子として1重量部〜200重量部の割合で水に分散配合した塗液を塗布した後、前記の第2の熱可塑性樹脂の融点付近に加熱して第2の感圧接着剤層を形成することを特徴とする。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1は、本発明の第1の感圧接着性シートを示す斜視図であり、(a)は平面図、(b)はその折り畳み状態を説明するための図、(c)は(a)図におけるA−B断面図であり、図中11は感圧接着性シート、11a、11bは折り畳み線、X、Y、Zは感圧接着性シート表面の各領域を示し、X′(図示せず)、Y′、Z′(図示せず)は、前記X、Y、Z領域に対応する感圧接着性シート裏面の各領域を示す。また、1は基材、2は第1の感圧接着剤層、3は第2の感圧接着剤層を示す。
【0015】
感圧接着剤層形成するための塗液について説明する。
感圧接着性樹脂としては、アクリロニトリル・ブタジエンゴム(NBR)、天然ゴム(NR)、スチレンブタジエンゴム(SBR)、クロロプレンゴム(CR)、ポリメチルメタクリレート(PMMA)、またはこれらの変性物の少なくとも1種が挙げられる。また、混合物でもよく、その混合割合を適宜調整することにより、感圧接着性樹脂同士の自着性を保持しつつ、基材との密着性を自着性より大きくすることができる。好ましくは、加圧によって感圧接着性樹脂同士の自着性を発現する性質の高い天然ゴムに、基材との密着性、即ちアンカー効果を高める目的でポリメチルメタクリレートやスチレンブタジエンゴムを添加したものが挙げられる。ポリメチルメタクリレートは単独で用いられるより、他の感圧接着性樹脂と混合して用いるとよい。このような感圧接着性樹脂は、通常粒径0.1μm〜3μm程度の微粒状のものが使用される。
【0016】
次に、感圧接着性樹脂に分散配合される熱可塑性樹脂は、使用環境温度以上の融点を有する熱可塑性樹脂を選択するとよい。最近、高速プリンタとしては、フラッシュランプでトナーを溶融定着するフラッシュ定着式プリンタや熱定着式プリンタ等があるが、より高速印字化や、定着温度の低温化の方向にあり、プリントシートの表面温度は120℃程度にまで下がってきている状況にある。本発明はこのような状況を踏まえるものであり、本発明の感圧接着性シートをプリンタ用として使用する場合には、感圧接着剤層に含有される熱可塑性樹脂としては、プリントシートの表面温度以上の融点を有するものとする。このように、本発明の熱可塑性樹脂における融点は、使用環境温度以上とすることを特徴とするものであり、前記のプリントシートの表面温度が120℃程度であれば、感圧接着剤層における熱可塑性樹脂の融点は、例えば120℃〜220℃のものとされる。120℃より低いと熱可塑性樹脂が軟化してプリンタ内部を汚損するため好ましくなく、220℃以上であると、後述するごとく、感圧接着剤層の形成に際して余分のエネルギーを必要とする。
【0017】
このような高融点を有する熱可塑性樹脂としては、ポリアミド樹脂、ポリエチレン樹脂、ポリスチレン樹脂、アクリル樹脂等が挙げられ、平均粒径が0.1μm〜50μmの粒子状のものであり、例えばポリアミド樹脂{商品名:ナイロン6、オルガソール1002D(融点210℃〜215℃、平均粒径18μm〜22μm)、ナイロン6/12、オルガソール3202D(融点184℃〜186℃、平均粒径18μm〜22μm)、ナイロン12、オルガソール2002D(融点175℃〜179℃、平均粒径18μm〜22μm)}、超高分子量ポリエチレン樹脂{商品名:ミペロンXM−220(分子量200×104 、融点136℃、平均粒径30μm)、商品名:ミペロンXM−221(分子量200×104 、融点136℃、平均粒径25μm)}等が挙げられる。
【0018】
特に、ポリアミド樹脂粒子は粒径も多岐にわたるものが市販されており、滑り性が良好であると共に融点が180℃以上と高く、高速プリンタ用として適するものである。また、ポリエチレン粒子は、真球状に近い1次粒子であるが、粒子表面の平滑性が高く、感圧接着剤に配合した際に透明性の高いものとでき、また、高度に架橋されたPMMA粒子やポリスチレン粒子に比して光沢感に優れる感圧接着剤を与えるので好ましい。また、熱可塑性樹脂粒子として凝集した状態のものを使用するとシリコンオイルに対する吸油性に優れるものとできる。
【0019】
これらの熱可塑性樹脂粒子は、感圧接着性樹脂100重量部に対して、1重量部〜200重量部、好ましくは5重量部〜100重量部、さらに好ましくは10重量部〜50重量部の割合で分散配合するとよい。
【0020】
本発明の感圧接着剤層における熱可塑性樹脂粒子の分散状態は、熱可塑性樹脂粒子が相互に接触すると共に、感圧接着性樹脂が粒子間に充填された状態とするとよく、また、感圧接着剤層の表面には、高融点熱可塑性樹脂粒子により凹凸形状が形成されるように分散されるとよい。なお、熱可塑性樹脂が繊維状等の場合には、熱可塑性樹脂繊維が相互に絡み合い、感圧接着剤層の表面に針状または繊維状の一部が突出した分散形態とするとよい。
【0021】
このような分散状態とするには、感圧接着剤層の塗布量とも関連するが、熱可塑性樹脂粒子の粒径を適宜選択すると共に感圧接着剤樹脂に対する分散割合を適宜調整するとよい。
【0022】
このような分散状態とし、後述する感圧接着剤層の塗布形成工程において、熱可塑性樹脂の融点付近にまで加熱する乾燥工程を設けることにより、分散された熱可塑性樹脂粒子や繊維状物同士の接触面を相互に融着させて熱可塑性樹脂相互により感圧接着剤層表面に被膜を形成させ、物理的に熱可塑性樹脂粒子と感圧接着性樹脂との接着性を持たせることができ、熱可塑性樹脂等の分散物の粉落ちや感圧接着性樹脂の脱落等の防止を可能とする。
【0023】
このように、本発明は、従来、トナーを熱定着させる方式のプリンタにおける感圧接着剤成分として使用されなかった熱可塑性樹脂を使用する点に特徴を有するものであるが、熱可塑性樹脂粒子は無機微粒子と相違し増粘性が少なく、感圧接着剤の調製に際しての取り扱い性に優れるものであり、また、高充填が可能な感圧接着剤とでき、コスト的にも無機顔料に匹敵するものとできる。
【0024】
感圧接着性樹脂と熱可塑性樹脂とは、水等の媒体に分散してエマルジョン状態とされるが、水は、感圧接着性樹脂100重量部に対して、通常、100重量部〜500重量部の割合とするとよく、好ましくは200重量部〜300重量部である。
【0025】
塗液には、必要に応じて乳化剤を添加するとよく、乳化剤としてはオレイン酸石鹸、ひまし油カリウム石鹸、カゼイン、にかわ、ゼラチン等が挙げられ、感圧接着性樹脂100重量部に対して、0.5重量部〜2重量部の割合で添加される。
【0026】
また、必要に応じて、筆記適性や捺印適性(シリコーンオイル吸油性)等の改良を目的として、マイクロシリカ、合成ゼオライト、活性アルミナゲル、炭酸カルシウム、酸化亜鉛、酸化チタン、タルク、クレー、カオリン、活性白土、アクリルビーズ、でんぷん、セルロース、シラスバルーン等の無機粒子を添加してもよい。本発明の感圧接着剤においては、熱可塑性樹脂と共に添加することにより、このような無機粒子の粉落ちも防止することができる。無機粒子の粒径は、10mμm〜30μm、好ましくは0.5μm〜10μmの範囲にあるものが好適である。無機粒子の添加量は、感圧接着性樹脂100重量部に対して、1重量部〜200重量部の割合で添加するのが好ましい。また、無機粒子と熱可塑性樹脂粒子の合計量は、感圧接着性樹脂100重量部に対して、10重量部〜100重量部の範囲とするとよい。
【0027】
その他、本発明における感圧接着剤には、葉書等に適用した際のハンドリング性やNIP搬送性等の滑り性の向上、また耐ブロッキング性の向上を目的としてポリエチレンワックス、カルナウバワックス等のワックス類を、感圧接着性樹脂100重量部に対して0.01重量部〜20重量部の割合で添加することができる。20重量部より多いと筆記適性が悪化したり、印刷時の着肉不良、接着不良等の問題が生じる。
【0028】
更に、本発明における感圧接着剤には、劣化防止を目的とする紫外線吸収剤として、アンモニア、エタノールアミン等を、また消泡剤として非イオン系界面活性剤、アニオン系界面活性剤(鉱物油系)等を添加してもよく、また消泡助剤としてシリカ等を添加してもよい。
【0029】
また、本発明における感圧接着剤には、エマルジョンとした時の感圧接着性樹脂の2次凝集を防止することを目的として、感圧接着性樹脂と親和性を有しない樹脂、例えば水分散性高分子ポリエステル、熱可塑性エラストマー、また、低密度ポリエチレン等の低分子ポリエチレン、アイオノマー、酢酸ビニル−オレフィン共重合体等を、感圧接着性樹脂100重量部に対して1重量部〜50重量部の範囲で配合させてもよい。
【0030】
本発明の第1の感圧接着性シートおよびその作製方法について、図1により説明する。
シート基材としては、上質紙、NIP用上質紙、OCR用紙、コート紙、NIP用コート紙、用紙の少なくとも片面が樹脂によって被覆されたラミネートシート、また、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(PET)、塩化ビニル(PVC)、ポリプロピレン(PP)等のシート状物、またはこれらの表面をコロナ処理やマット処理したものが挙げられる。
【0031】
シート基材1上に感圧接着剤層を塗布形成するには、まず、上述した感圧接着剤塗液において、その熱可塑性樹脂粒子の融点が少なくとも20℃相違する2種類の感圧接着剤塗液を準備する。そして、シート基材1の表面全面またはY領域及び/又はZ領域に融点が高い方の熱可塑性樹脂粒子を含有する感圧接着剤塗液をバーコーター、エアナイフコーター、フレキソ、グラビアコーター、ロールコーター、ダイヘッドコーター等の塗布手段により、塗布した後、感圧接着剤における熱可塑性樹脂粒子の融点付近に加熱し、乾燥させることにより、分散された熱可塑性樹脂粒子同士の接触面を相互に融着させて感圧接着剤層表面に被膜を有する感圧接着剤層2を形成する。乾燥後塗布量は、0.1g/m2 〜10g/m2 、好ましくは1.0g/m2 〜5.0g/m2 である。
【0032】
次いで、シート基材1の裏面全面またはX′領域(X領域の裏面)及び/又はY′領域に融点が低い方の熱可塑性樹脂粒子を含有する感圧接着剤塗液を同様の塗布法により塗布した後、その熱可塑性樹脂の融点付近に加熱し、乾燥させ、同様の感圧接着剤層3を形成する。すなわち、感圧接着剤層3の乾燥温度は、感圧接着剤層2の乾燥温度より低いので、感圧接着剤層2が再び溶融する等の問題がなく、乾燥機内部を汚損することがないものとできる。
【0033】
なお、この積層順序を逆にする場合には、最初に塗布した感圧接着剤層が再び溶融して乾燥機内を汚損し、その汚損物が堆積することにより感圧接着性シート内に堆積物が混入したりすることがあり、例えば最初に塗布した感圧接着剤層側にチルロール(冷却ロール)を用いたり、基材全体をフローティングさせたり、また、テフロン被膜を設けた特殊なバックアップロールを用いたりする必要がある等の問題がある。
【0034】
第1の感圧接着性シート(感圧接着性シート)は、通常葉書(定型葉書)の3倍の大きさの用紙であり、破線で示した折り曲げ予定線11a、11bから図1(b)のごとく三つ折りして使用され、左欄を宛名情報等を記入する公開情報記入領域Xとし、中欄と右欄を秘密情報等を記入する秘密情報記入領域Y、Zとする。
【0035】
感圧接着性シート11の使用方法を説明すると、感圧接着性シート11における公開情報記入領域Xに住所、氏名等の宛名、その他の公開情報を、また秘密情報記入領域Y、Zに金融商品の満期通知等の秘密情報を一度にNIP等のプリンタを使用して片面印字した後、感圧接着性シート11をその折り曲げ予定線11a、11bから図1(b)のごとく三つ折りして、中欄と右欄を感圧接着剤により密着させ、左欄と中欄を前記感圧接着剤とはその熱可塑性樹脂の融点の相違する感圧接着剤により接着させる。この状態で感圧接着性シート11をメールフォームとして郵送すれば、郵便料金が葉書扱いとなる。受取人は、感圧接着剤層間を剥離することにより秘密情報を毀損することなく開くことができ、その秘密情報を得ることができる。なお、折り畳み隅部には剥離を容易とするために、感圧接着剤層を設けない把持部を設けておくとよい。
【0036】
本発明の第2の感圧接着性シートおよびその作製方法について、図2により説明する。シート基材としては、第1の感圧接着性シートと同様のものを使用でき、また、第1の感圧接着性シートの項で記載したと同様に、熱可塑性樹脂粒子の融点が少なくとも20℃相違する2種類の感圧接着剤塗液を準備する。そして、シート基材1の表面のX領域及び/又はY領域に融点が高い方の熱可塑性樹脂粒子を含有する感圧接着剤塗液を第1の感圧接着性シートと同様の塗布量で塗布した後、感圧接着剤における熱可塑性樹脂粒子の融点付近に加熱し、乾燥させ、第1の感圧接着性シート同様の感圧接着剤層2を形成する。
【0037】
次いで、シート基材1のX′領域及び/又はY′領域に融点が低い方の熱可塑性樹脂粒子を含有する感圧接着剤塗液を同様の塗布法により塗布した後、その熱可塑性樹脂の融点付近に加熱し、乾燥させ同様の感圧接着剤層3を形成する。
【0038】
第2の感圧接着性シートは、折り畳み線22a、22bが共に内側となり、中心線Zで端部が接するように折り畳み、X領域とY領域、X′領域とY′領域とをそれぞれ感圧接着させ、それぞれを剥離可能とするメールフォームとできる。なお、折り畳み隅部には剥離を容易とするために、感圧接着剤層を設けない把持部を設けておくとよい。
【0039】
本発明の第3の感圧接着性シートおよびその作製方法について、図3により説明する。シート基材としては、第1の感圧接着性シートと同様のものを使用でき、また、第1の感圧接着性シートの項で記載したと同様に、熱可塑性樹脂粒子の融点が少なくとも20℃相違する2種類の感圧接着剤塗液を準備する。そして、シート基材1の表面のX領域及びY領域に融点が高い方の熱可塑性樹脂粒子を含有する感圧接着剤塗液を第1の感圧接着性シートと同様の塗布量で塗布した後、感圧接着剤における熱可塑性樹脂粒子の融点付近に加熱し、乾燥させ、第1の感圧接着性シート同様の感圧接着剤層2を形成する。
【0040】
次いで、感圧接着剤層2上に、融点が低い方の熱可塑性樹脂粒子を含有する感圧接着剤塗液を同様の塗布法により塗布した後、その熱可塑性樹脂の融点付近に加熱し、乾燥させ同様の感圧接着剤層3を形成する。
【0041】
第3の感圧接着性シートは、折り畳み線33aが内側となるように折り畳み、X領域とY領域を感圧接着させ、剥離可能とするメールフォームとできる。なお、折り畳み隅部には剥離を容易とするために、感圧接着剤層を設けない把持部を設けておくとよい。
【0042】
本発明の感圧接着性シートにおいては、秘密情報等は感圧接着剤層上に印字または印刷により形成するか、基材シート上に印字または印刷により形成した後、感圧接着剤層を設けるとよい。
【0043】
本発明の感圧接着性シートは、その感圧接着剤層同士を対向して重ね合わせ、加圧して接着させた後に両者を剥離するにあたり、JIS K6854(1977)で規定されるT形剥離力を5g/25mm〜200g/25mm、好ましくは10g/25mm〜100g/25mm、更に好ましくは20g/25mm〜50g/25mmの範囲とでき、また、剥離に際して、秘密情報等の印字または印刷部の転移がないものとできる。
【0044】
本発明の感圧接着性シートは、感圧接着剤層を熱可塑性樹脂の融点付近まで加熱乾燥させて形成することにより、樹脂粒子間の相互に接触する部分を融着させ、その表面を多孔質状とでき、これにより、樹脂粒子等の脱落を防止できると共にインキの吸収性を可能する。また、感圧接着剤層表面に熱可塑性樹脂の粒子形状等による凹凸を形成させることができ、熱可塑性樹脂粒子の表面特性により滑り性に優れるものとできる。
【0045】
また、熱可塑性樹脂粒子として大粒径のものを選択し、また、感圧接着性樹脂に対する配合量を調整することにより、感圧接着剤層の構造において感圧接着性樹脂層の膜厚を、熱可塑性樹脂粒子の粒径以下とすることができるが、これにより、熱可塑性樹脂粒子相互の融着により多孔質化された表面被膜を形成でき、他の感圧接着性シートとの積み重ねに際して感圧接着性樹脂層を保護することができ、耐ブロッキング性に優れるものとできる。
【0046】
また、感圧接着に際しては、感圧接着性樹脂層の膜厚を熱可塑性樹脂粒子の粒径以下の近傍のものとすることにより、例えば120kg/cm2 〜150kg/cm2 の加圧条件での感圧接着性を良好なものとできる。
また、本発明の図1、図2に示す感圧接着性シートは、剥離可能面を2つ有するので、秘密情報領域を多く取ることを可能とするものであり、また、図3に示す感圧接着性シートは、感圧接着剤層を2層以上積層することにより、1層のものよりも連続多孔を有し、耐シリコーンオイル性や筆記、捺印適性に優れた感圧接着性シートとすることができる。
【0047】
以下、実施例により、本発明を詳細に説明する。実施例における試験方法は次の通りである。
【0048】
【実施例】
(1)ドライタック性
JIS K−5400に準じて、ガラス板上に感圧接着剤塗布シートをその接着剤塗布面を上側にして水平におき、次いで接着剤塗布面にガーゼを5枚重ね、そのガーゼ上に、底面が平滑な錘を置き、15g/cm2 の圧力がかかるようにして24時間放置した後、ガーゼを引き剥して、その時のガーゼと接着層との接着性、接着剤塗布面上に残るガーゼの跡目によりドライタック性の判定を行った。
【0049】
表1における評価は、二重丸印がガーゼ剥離時に接着性を示さず、ガーゼの跡目も残らないもの、丸印がガーゼの跡目がなく、ドライタックが殆どないもの、三角印がガーゼの跡目は残らないが、若干のドライタックが認められるもの、×印がドライタックが認められるものである。
【0050】
(2)ブロッキング性

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet and a method for producing the same, and has a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on both front and back surfaces, such as a mail form for a confidential postcard, a price tag tag, and a card-printed paper, and temporarily. The present invention relates to a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet suitably used as an easily openable pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet such as a form requiring close contact, and a method for producing the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, a mail form is widely used as a notification from a financial institution, a government office, etc. after a necessary item is printed by a printer or the like, folded into a sealed letter form, and bonded. And as this kind of mail form, the thing of the form which folds in three folds, adhere | attaches a peripheral part, and cuts and develops 3 thru | or 4 sides from a perforation at the time of opening is widely used. However, since this mail form needs to be cut off from the perforation when opened, there is a problem that the effective area of the information recording portion is reduced along with the problem of dust generation. In addition, since this mail form is bonded only at the periphery, it is treated as a sealed letter under the current postal code, and it has not been possible to mail it as a cheap postcard even if its dimensions are postcard size.
[0003]
Also, after recording the necessary information in part, it is known that the adhesive film is sandwiched, folded and bonded, and the recipient has a releasability that allows the receiver to peel off the bonded portion and confirm the necessary information. However, this type can be mailed as postcards, but this type has the disadvantage of requiring a film pinching operation and a complicated manufacturing process.
[0004]
In addition, an adhesive sheet coated with a heat sealant is also used from the viewpoint of blocking resistance, but it has not reached the point where blocking can be completely prevented, and toner in a non-impact printer was used. In the heat fixing type printer, since a heating method is used for fixing the toner, there is a problem that the recording method is limited because the heat sealing agent is softened to contaminate the inside of the printer.
[0005]
Therefore, it is made of a pressure-sensitive adhesive resin such as styrene-butadiene rubber as a main component, and it is highly cross-linked without inorganic materials such as microsilica and clay, and thermoplastics for the purpose of imparting anti-blocking properties to the resin. There has been proposed a mail form in which a pressure-sensitive adhesive in which polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) particles, polystyrene particles, and the like are dispersed in water is applied to an adhesive surface. This mail form can be recorded on the adhesive-coated surface with a heat-fixing printer, etc., and can be peeled off at the adhesive interface between pressure-sensitive adhesives without transfer of characters when opened. There is an advantage that the information printed on the pressure adhesive application surface can be read.
[0006]
However, inorganic materials such as microsilica and clay have a low affinity with the pressure-sensitive adhesive resin and are not easily retained in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. After forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, a spot-like sticky portion ( Dry tack), causing blocking, and there is a problem that dusting (piling) occurs during printing and printing. Therefore, the cost after considering the performance, such as adjusting the shape and particle size to prevent falling off, and adding unnecessary components such as silane coupling agents and binders. There is a problem. In particular, since silica is an aggregate in which fine particles of submicron order are secondarily aggregated, it has high thixotropy. Depending on the blending ratio with the pressure-sensitive adhesive resin, it can be added as a slurry, There is a problem in the handleability, such as the necessity of adding (water if it is an emulsion) to reduce the solid content, and extra steps and energy are required.
[0007]
Highly cross-linked polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) particles and polystyrene particles are excellent in handling properties, and have a low viscosity increase at a generally used blending ratio, enabling high filling. However, it is expensive and has a low affinity with a pressure-sensitive adhesive resin as in the case of inorganic materials, and has the same problems as those of inorganic pigments.
[0008]
Furthermore, in addition to such problems as pressure-sensitive adhesives, attempts have been made to provide a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having pressure-sensitive adhesive layers on both front and back surfaces. For example, use a chill roll (cooling roll), float the entire substrate, or use a special backup roll with a Teflon coating to prevent the inside of the dryer from being soiled when drying the pressure sensitive adhesive layer It is necessary to adopt a method, which is costly to produce.
[0009]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and is capable of high pigment loading, can suppress phenomena such as powder falling, and is excellent in heat resistance and wear resistance as well as blocking resistance, and is low-cost pressure sensitive. It is an object of the present invention to provide a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having an adhesive layer on, for example, both surfaces, and a production method capable of efficiently producing the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet.
[0010]

And a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet formed by heating near the melting point of the thermoplastic resin, the melting point of the thermoplastic resin in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in one region of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet And the melting point of the thermoplastic resin in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in the other region is different by 20 ° C. or more.
[0012]

After applying a coating liquid in which thermoplastic resin particles having a melting point of 120 ° C. to 220 ° C. and a particle size of 0.1 μm to 50 μm are dispersed and mixed in water at a ratio of 1 part by weight to 200 parts by weight, A pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet which is formed by heating near the melting point of a plastic resin, and the melting point of the thermoplastic resin in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on the sheet substrate side in the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is The pressure sensitive adhesive layer laminated on the pressure sensitive adhesive layer on the substrate side is at least 20 ° C. higher than the melting point of the thermoplastic resin in the pressure sensitive adhesive layer, and the pressure sensitive adhesive layer laminated on the upper layer is the inside. The pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet is folded, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers made inside are The pressure-sensitive adhesive layers are pressure-sensitively bonded, and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layers that are pressure-sensitively bonded can be separated from each other.
[0013]
The method for producing a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention is a method for producing the above first to third pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets, wherein the melting point is 100 parts by weight of the pressure-sensitive adhesive resin on the sheet substrate surface. After applying a coating solution in which thermoplastic resin particles having a particle size of 120 to 220 ° C. and a particle size of 0.1 to 50 μm are dispersed and mixed in water at a ratio of 1 to 200 parts by weight, The first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is formed by heating near the melting point of the thermoplastic resin, and then 100 parts by weight of the pressure-sensitive adhesive resin has a melting point 20 ° C. lower than that of the first thermoplastic resin. 2 was applied as a particle having a particle size of 0.1 μm to 50 μm and dispersed in water at a ratio of 1 part by weight to 200 parts by weight, and then the melting point of the second thermoplastic resin.

[0014]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a first pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention, wherein (a) is a plan view, (b) is a diagram for explaining its folded state, and (c) is (a). FIG. 11 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AB in the figure, in which 11 is a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, 11a and 11b are folding lines, X, Y, and Z are regions on the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet surface, and X ′ (not shown). Z), Y 'and Z' (not shown) indicate the respective areas on the back surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet corresponding to the X, Y and Z areas. Reference numeral 1 denotes a substrate, 2 denotes a first pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and 3 denotes a second pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.
[0015]
The coating liquid for forming the pressure sensitive adhesive layer will be described.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive resin includes at least one of acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber (NBR), natural rubber (NR), styrene butadiene rubber (SBR), chloroprene rubber (CR), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), or a modified product thereof. Species are mentioned. Moreover, a mixture may be sufficient, By adjusting the mixing ratio suitably, adhesiveness with a base material can be made larger than self-adhesion property, maintaining the self-adhesion property of pressure-sensitive-adhesive resin. Preferably, polymethyl methacrylate or styrene butadiene rubber is added to natural rubber having a high property of developing self-adhesion between pressure-sensitive adhesive resins by pressurization in order to enhance adhesion to the base material, that is, an anchor effect. Things. Polymethylmethacrylate may be used by mixing with other pressure-sensitive adhesive resins rather than being used alone. As such a pressure-sensitive adhesive resin, a fine particle having a particle diameter of about 0.1 μm to 3 μm is usually used.
[0016]
Next, as the thermoplastic resin dispersed and blended in the pressure-sensitive adhesive resin, a thermoplastic resin having a melting point equal to or higher than the use environment temperature may be selected. Recently, high-speed printers include flash-fixing printers and thermal-fixing printers that melt and fix toner with flash lamps, but there is a trend toward higher-speed printing and lower fixing temperatures. Is in a situation where it has been lowered to about 120 ° C. The present invention is based on such a situation, and when the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet of the present invention is used for a printer, the thermoplastic resin contained in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is the surface of the print sheet. It shall have a melting point above the temperature. As described above, the melting point in the thermoplastic resin of the present invention is characterized in that it is equal to or higher than the use environment temperature. If the surface temperature of the print sheet is about 120 ° C., the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer The melting point of the thermoplastic resin is, for example, 120 ° C to 220 ° C. When the temperature is lower than 120 ° C., the thermoplastic resin is softened and soils the inside of the printer. This is not preferable, and when the temperature is higher than 220 ° C., as described later, extra energy is required for forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer.
[0017]
Examples of the thermoplastic resin having such a high melting point include a polyamide resin, a polyethylene resin, a polystyrene resin, an acrylic resin, and the like, and those having an average particle diameter of 0.1 μm to 50 μm, such as a polyamide resin { Product Name: Nylon 6, Olgasol 1002D (melting point 210 ° C. to 215 ° C., average particle size 18 μm to 22 μm), Nylon 6/12, Orgasol 3202D (melting point 184 ° C. to 186 ° C., average particle size 18 μm to 22 μm), nylon 12, Orgasol 2002D (melting point: 175 ° C. to 179 ° C., average particle size: 18 μm to 22 μm)}, ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene resin {trade name: Mipperon XM-220 (molecular weight 200 × 10) Four , Melting point 136 ° C., average particle size 30 μm), trade name: Mipperon XM-221 (molecular weight 200 × 10) Four , Melting point 136 ° C., average particle size 25 μm)} and the like.
[0018]
In particular, polyamide resin particles having a wide range of particle diameters are commercially available, have good sliding properties and a melting point as high as 180 ° C. or higher, and are suitable for high-speed printers. Polyethylene particles are primary particles that are nearly spherical, but have high surface smoothness, high transparency when blended in a pressure sensitive adhesive, and highly crosslinked PMMA. This is preferable because it gives a pressure-sensitive adhesive which is more glossy than particles or polystyrene particles. In addition, when the aggregated thermoplastic resin particles are used, the oil absorbability with respect to silicon oil can be improved.
[0019]
These thermoplastic resin particles have a ratio of 1 part by weight to 200 parts by weight, preferably 5 parts by weight to 100 parts by weight, more preferably 10 parts by weight to 50 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the pressure sensitive adhesive resin. It is better to disperse and blend.
[0020]
The dispersion state of the thermoplastic resin particles in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the present invention may be such that the thermoplastic resin particles are in contact with each other and the pressure-sensitive adhesive resin is filled between the particles. It is preferable that the surface of the adhesive layer is dispersed so that a concavo-convex shape is formed by high melting point thermoplastic resin particles. In the case where the thermoplastic resin is in a fibrous form or the like, it is preferable that the thermoplastic resin fibers are entangled with each other, and a disperse form in which a needle-like or fibrous part protrudes from the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is preferable.
[0021]
In order to obtain such a dispersed state, although it is related to the amount of application of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, it is preferable to appropriately select the particle diameter of the thermoplastic resin particles and appropriately adjust the dispersion ratio with respect to the pressure-sensitive adhesive resin.
[0022]
In such a dispersed state, in the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer application forming step described later, by providing a drying step that heats to near the melting point of the thermoplastic resin, between the dispersed thermoplastic resin particles and fibrous materials. The contact surfaces can be fused together to form a film on the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer surface by the thermoplastic resin, and the physical adhesion between the thermoplastic resin particles and the pressure-sensitive adhesive resin can be achieved, It is possible to prevent powder dispersion of thermoplastic resin and the like, and pressure-sensitive adhesive resin from falling off.
[0023]
As described above, the present invention is characterized in that it uses a thermoplastic resin that has not been used as a pressure-sensitive adhesive component in a printer of the type in which toner is thermally fixed. Unlike inorganic fine particles, it has low viscosity, has excellent handling properties in the preparation of pressure-sensitive adhesives, and can be made into a pressure-sensitive adhesive that can be highly filled, and is comparable in cost to inorganic pigments. And can.
[0024]
The pressure-sensitive adhesive resin and the thermoplastic resin are dispersed in a medium such as water to form an emulsion. The water is usually 100 parts by weight to 500 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the pressure-sensitive adhesive resin. The ratio is preferably 200 parts by weight to 300 parts by weight.
[0025]
If necessary, an emulsifier may be added to the coating solution. Examples of the emulsifier include oleic acid soap, castor oil potassium soap, casein, glue, gelatin and the like, with respect to 100 parts by weight of the pressure-sensitive adhesive resin. 5 parts by weight to 2 parts by weight is added.
[0026]
If necessary, for the purpose of improving writing suitability and printing suitability (silicone oil absorption), etc., microsilica, synthetic zeolite, activated alumina gel, calcium carbonate, zinc oxide, titanium oxide, talc, clay, kaolin, Inorganic particles such as activated clay, acrylic beads, starch, cellulose, and shirasu balloon may be added. In the pressure-sensitive adhesive of the present invention, by adding it together with the thermoplastic resin, it is possible to prevent such inorganic particles from falling off. The particle size of the inorganic particles is 10 m to 30 m, preferably 0.5 m to 10 m. The addition amount of the inorganic particles is preferably 1 to 200 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the pressure-sensitive adhesive resin. The total amount of the inorganic particles and the thermoplastic resin particles is preferably in the range of 10 to 100 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the pressure-sensitive adhesive resin.
[0027]
In addition, the pressure-sensitive adhesive in the present invention includes waxes such as polyethylene wax and carnauba wax for the purpose of improving handling properties when applied to postcards, slipperiness such as NIP transportability, and blocking resistance. Can be added at a ratio of 0.01 to 20 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the pressure-sensitive adhesive resin.
