Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce a polyethylene naphthalate film free from surface defects and reduced in unevenness of thickness by molding a polyethylene naphthalate obtained by continuously polycondensing bis(hydroxyethyl) naphthalate into a film. CONSTITUTION:Bis(hydroxyethyl) naphthalate obtained by the transesterification or esterification of naphthalenedicarboxylic acid with ethylene glycol is continuously polycondensed at 230-310 deg.C in a vacuum to obtain polyethylene naphthalate having an intrinsic viscosity of 0.5-0.8 and a terminal carboxyl concentration of 45 equivalents/10<6>g or below. This polyethylene naphthalate is melt-extruded at 290-320 deg.C, and the extrudate is cooled with a cooling roll to obtain an unoriented film. This film is stretched in the machine and transverse directions at a stretch ratio of 3-10 for each direction, optionally stretched again in the machine direction at a stretch ratio of 1-3, and then heat-treated at 190-230 deg.C to obtain a polyethylene naphthalate having an average height of surface protrusions of 5-400nm.

However, compared with polyethylene terephthalate, for example, polyethylene naphthalate has streaky white turbidity caused by the adherence of polymer deterioration products to the die when thinning a molten polymer through a die slit during film formation. Areas (streak defects) tend to occur on the film, and deterioration products of the polymer mix into the film to form coarse protrusions, resulting in a phenomenon that markedly reduces the commercial value, so there is no defect on the surface. There is a problem that the productivity of the film is low.

[0007] Polyethylene naphthalate is apt to cause the above-mentioned drawbacks because, when compared with polyethylene terephthalate, the melt viscosity becomes high when the polycondensation reaction proceeds until a polymer having a polymerization degree industrially useful is obtained. In the manufacturing method, it takes a long time to discharge the polymer from the polycondensation can.As a result, the terminal concentration of the carboxyl group increases in the final stage compared to the initial stage of the discharge, and the molecular weight becomes small, which causes deterioration of the polymer quality. There is. Furthermore, since polyethylene naphthalate has a high viscosity, a large amount of polymer remains in the can because it adheres to and remains in the can. Therefore, in the batch polycondensation method, the polymer obtained by one polycondensation reaction as described above is used. In addition to the problem that the polymer properties at the beginning and the end of discharge from the polycondensation can are different, and when the polycondensation reaction is repeated more times, each batch is affected by the heat-degraded polymer remaining in the can. There is even greater variation in the properties of the polymer obtained, and the molecular weight of the polymer, the terminal carboxyl group concentration, and the diethylene glycol content are further varied. As a result, when a film is produced using the polyethylene naphthalate obtained by the batch polycondensation method, there is a problem that tearing and uneven thickness occur during film production, which lowers production stability.

The strip-like defects of the film produced from the polymer produced by the batch-type polycondensation method, and the formation of coarse projections due to minute lumps of heat-deteriorated products are used in magnetic tape applications where a high degree of surface smoothness is required. , Especially vapor deposition tape that deposits a magnetic metal to form a magnetic layer, a metal tape support that forms a magnetic layer by coating a mixture of a metal magnetic material and a binder, and photographic applications, especially when a minute defect is the value of an image. The productivity of a film used for a high-speed photographic film or the like is significantly reduced. In addition, fluctuations in the molecular weight, the concentration of carboxyl end groups and the content of diethylene glycol of polyethylene naphthalate produced by the batch polycondensation method and the generation of heat-deteriorated products are caused by a thin film, particularly a thickness of 0.5 to 20 μm. When a film in the area is formed, it often causes film breakage and uneven thickness, and extremely reduces the productivity of a good film.
