熱収縮率={(収縮前の長さ-収縮後の長さ)/収縮前の長さ}×100(%)
・・・式1
80℃に調整された湯温中にてフィルムを幅方向に10%収縮させた後に、JIS-K-7128に準じて所定の大きさの試験片としてサンプリングする。しかる後に、万能引張試験機で試験片の両端を掴み、引張速度200mm/分の条件にて、フィルムの長手方向における引張破壊時の強度の測定を行う。そして、下式2を用いて単位厚み当たりの直角引裂強度を算出する。
直角引裂強度=引張破壊時の強度÷厚み ・・・式2
JIS-K7113に準拠し、所定の大きさの短冊状の試験片を作製し、万能引張試験機でその試験片の両端を把持して、引張速度200mm/分の条件にて引張試験を行い、フィルムの長手方向の引張破壊時の強度(応力)を引張破壊強さとして算出する。

第一発明のフィルムはクッション率が10%以上、好ましくは20%以上である。クッション率が低いと、瓶やボトルの破損防止効果が低下する。
上述したように、通常、熱収縮性ポリエステル系フィルムは、未延伸フィルムを収縮させたい方向(すなわち、主収縮方向、通常は幅方向)のみに延伸することによって製造される。本発明者らが従来の製造方法について検討した結果、従来の熱収縮性ポリエステル系フィルムの製造においては、以下のような問題点があることが判明した。
・単純に幅方向に延伸するだけであると、上述の如く、長手方向の機械的強度が小さくなり、ラベルとした場合のミシン目開封性が悪くなる。その上、製膜装置のライン速度を上げることが困難である。
・幅方向に延伸した後に長手方向に延伸する方法を採用すると、どのような延伸条件を採用しても、幅方向の収縮力を十分に発現させることができない。さらに、長手方向の収縮力が同時に発現してしまい、ラベルとした際に収縮装着後の仕上がりが悪くなる。
・長手方向に延伸した後に幅方向に延伸する方法を採用すると、幅方向の収縮力は発現させることができるものの、長手方向の収縮力が同時に発現してしまい、ラベルとした際に収縮装着後の仕上がりが悪くなる。
・ラベルとした際のミシン目開封性を良好なものとするためには、長手方向へ配向した分子をある程度残しておく必要があると考えられること
・ラベルとした際の収縮装着後の仕上がりを良好なものとするためには、長手方向への収縮力を発現させないことが不可欠であり、そのためには長手方向へ配向した分子の緊張状態を解消する必要があると考えられること
・フィルムに空洞を有する部分を設けると、ミシン目開封性に関して更に有利に働き、単純な空洞を有する一軸延伸フィルムと異なり、以下に記載する特殊な縦-横延伸法によって、面積延伸倍率を大きくでき、その効果が拡大すると考えられること
(1)縦延伸条件の制御
(2)縦延伸後における中間熱処理
(3)中間熱処理と横延伸との間における自然冷却(加熱の遮断)
(4)自然冷却後のフィルムの強制冷却
(5)横延伸条件の制御
以下、上記した各手段について順次説明する。
第一発明における縦-横延伸法によるフィルムの製造においては、第一発明のフィルムロールを得るためには、縦延伸を二段で行うのが好ましい。すなわち、実質的に未配向のフィルムを、Tg以上Tg+30℃以下の温度で2.2倍以上3.0倍以下の倍率となるように縦延伸し(一段目の延伸)、Tg以下に冷却することなく、Tg+10以上Tg+40℃以下の温度で1.2倍以上1.5倍以下の倍率となるように縦延伸する(二段目の延伸)ことにより、トータルの縦延伸倍率(すなわち、一段目の縦延伸倍率×二段目の縦延伸倍率)が2.8倍以上4.5倍以下となるように縦延伸するのが好ましく、トータルの縦延伸倍率が3.0倍以上4.3倍以下となるように縦延伸するとより好ましい。
上述の如く、“長手方向に配向しつつ収縮力に寄与しない分子”をフィルム内に存在させるためには、長手方向に配向した分子を熱緩和させることが好ましいが、従来、フィルムの二軸延伸において、一軸目の延伸と二軸目の延伸との間において、高温の熱処理をフィルムに施すと、熱処理後のフィルムが結晶化してしまうため、それ以上延伸することができない、というのが業界での技術常識であった。しかしながら、本発明者らが試行錯誤した結果、縦-横延伸法において、ある一定の条件で縦延伸を行い、その縦延伸後のフィルムの状態に合わせて中間熱処理を所定の条件で行い、さらに、その中間熱処理後のフィルムの状態に合わせて所定の条件で横延伸を施すことによって、横延伸時に破断を起こさせることなく、“長手方向に配向しつつ収縮力に寄与しない分子”をフィルム内に存在させ得る、という驚くべき事実が判明した。
第一発明の縦-横延伸法によるフィルムの製造においては、上記の如く、縦延伸後に中間熱処理を施すことが好ましいが、その中間熱処理と横延伸との間において、0.5秒以上3.0秒以下の時間に亘って、積極的な加熱操作を実行しない中間ゾーンを通過させることが好ましい。すなわち、横延伸用のテンターの横延伸ゾーンの前方に中間ゾーンを設けておき、縦延伸後のフィルムをテンターに導き、所定時間をかけて当該中間ゾーンを通過させた後に、横延伸を実施するのが好ましい。加えて、その中間ゾーンにおいては、フィルムを通過させていない状態で短冊状の紙片を垂らしたときに、その紙片がほぼ完全に鉛直方向に垂れ下がるように、フィルムの流れに伴う随伴流および冷却ゾーンからの熱風を遮断するのが好ましい。なお、中間ゾーンを通過させる時間が0.5秒を下回ると、横延伸が高温延伸となり、横方向の収縮率を十分に高くすることができなくなるので好ましくない。反対に中間ゾーンを通過させる時間は3.0秒もあれば十分であり、それ以上の長さに設定しても、設備のムダとなるので好ましくない。なお、中間ゾーンを通過させる時間の下限は、0.7秒以上であると好ましく、0.9秒以上であるとより好ましい。また、中間ゾーンを通過させる時間の上限は、2.8秒以下であると好ましく、2.6秒以下であるとより好ましい。
第一発明の縦-横延伸法によるフィルムの製造においては、上記の如く自然冷却したフィルムをそのまま横延伸するのではなく、フィルムの温度が80℃以上120℃以下となるように急冷することが好ましい。かかる急冷処理を施すことによって、ラベルとした際のミシン目開封性が良好なフィルムを得ることが可能となる。なお、急冷後のフィルムの温度の下限は、85℃以上であると好ましく、90℃以上であるとより好ましい。また、急冷後のフィルムの温度の上限は、115℃以下であると好ましく、110℃以下であるとより好ましい。
第一発明の縦-横延伸法によるフィルムの製造においては、縦延伸、中間熱処理、急冷後のフィルムを所定の条件で横延伸することが好ましい。すなわち、横延伸は、テンター内で幅方向の両端際をクリップによって把持した状態で、Tg+10℃以上Tg+40℃以下の温度で2.0倍以上6.0倍以下の倍率となるように行うことが好ましい。かかる所定条件での横延伸を施すことによって、縦延伸および中間熱処理によって形成された“長手方向に配向しつつ収縮力に寄与しない分子”を保持したまま、幅方向へ分子を配向させて幅方向の収縮力を発現させることが可能となり、ラベルとした際のミシン目開封性が良好なフィルムを得ることが可能となる。また、縦-横延伸法を採用することで、単純な一軸延伸の空洞を有する熱収縮性フィルムよりも更に大きな面積延伸倍率を与えることができ、一層ミシン目開封性を向上させることができる。このミシン目開封性の向上は、直角引裂強度の低下とよい対応を示すものである。なお、横延伸の温度の下限は、Tg+15℃以上であると好ましく、Tg+20℃以上であるとより好ましい。また、横延伸の温度の上限は、Tg+35℃以下であると好ましく、Tg+30℃以下であるとより好ましい。一方、横延伸の倍率の下限は、2.5倍以上であると好ましく、3.0倍以上であるとより好ましい。また、横延伸の倍率の上限は、5.5倍以下であると好ましく、5.0倍以下であるとより好ましい。縦-横延伸法を採用し、従来の一軸延伸法よりも大きな面積延伸倍率とすることは、より小さい見かけ密度を得る上からも好ましい。
第一発明の白色熱収縮性ポリエステル系フィルムの製造に当たっては、縦延伸工程、中間熱処理工程、自然冷却工程、強制冷却工程、横延伸工程の内の何れかの工程のみが、単独でフィルムの特性を良好なものとすることができるものではなく、縦延伸工程、中間熱処理工程、自然冷却工程、強制冷却工程、横延伸工程のすべてを所定の条件にて行うことにより、非常に効率的にフィルムの特性を良好なものとすることが可能となるものと考えられる。また、フィルムの特性の中でも、長手方向の直角引裂強度、長手方向の引張破壊強さ、幅方向の厚み斑、動摩擦係数、長手方向の厚み斑といった重要な特性は、特定の複数の工程同士の相互作用によって大きく数値が変動する。
第二発明のフィルムはクッション率が10%以上、好ましくは20%以上である。クッション率が低いと、瓶やボトルの破損防止効果が低下する。
・単純に幅方向に延伸するだけであると、上述の如く、長手方向の直角引裂強度が大きくなり、ラベルとした場合のミシン目開封性が悪くなる。その上、製膜装置のライン速度を上げることが困難である。
・幅方向に延伸した後に長手方向に延伸する方法を採用すると、どのような延伸条件を採用しても、幅方向の収縮力を十分に発現させることができない。さらに、長手方向の収縮力が同時に発現してしまい、ラベルとした際に収縮装着後の仕上がりが悪くなる。

(1)縦延伸条件の制御
(2)縦延伸後における中間熱処理
(3)中間熱処理後のフィルムの強制冷却
(4)横延伸条件の制御
以下、上記した各手段について順次説明する。
第二発明における縦-横延伸法によるフィルムの製造においては、第二発明のフィルムロールを得るためには、75℃以上100℃以下の温度で長手方向に実質的に1段の縦延伸工程だけとして1.1倍以上1.8倍以下の比較的低倍率で縦延伸することが好ましい。
上述の如く、“長手方向に配向しつつ収縮力に寄与しない分子”をフィルム内に存在させるためには、長手方向に配向した分子を熱緩和させることが好ましいが、従来、フィルムの二軸延伸において、一軸目の延伸と二軸目の延伸との間において、高温の熱処理をフィルムに施すと、熱処理後のフィルムが結晶化してしまうため、それ以上延伸することができない、というのが業界での技術常識であった。しかしながら、本発明者らが試行錯誤した結果、縦-横延伸法において、ある一定の条件で縦延伸を行い、その縦延伸後のフィルムの状態に合わせて中間熱セットを所定の条件で行い、さらに、その中間熱セット後のフィルムの状態に合わせて所定の条件で横延伸を施すことによって、横延伸時に破断を起こさせることなく、“長手方向に配向しつつ収縮力に寄与しない分子”をフィルム内に存在させ得る、という驚くべき事実が判明した。
第二発明の縦-横延伸法によるフィルムの製造においては、上記の如く中間熱処理したフィルムをそのまま横延伸するのではなく、フィルムの温度が70℃以上90℃以下となるように急冷することが好ましい。かかる急冷処理を施すことによって、ラベルとした際のミシン目開封性が良好なフィルムを得ることができ好ましい。なお、急冷後のフィルムの温度の下限は、72℃以上であるとより好ましく、74℃以上であると更に好ましい。また、急冷後のフィルムの温度の上限は、85℃以下であるとより好ましく、80℃以下であると更に好ましい。
であると、冷却後に行う横延伸の応力が小さくなり、幅方向の厚み斑が大きくなり易い傾向にあるが、冷却後のフィルムの温度が90℃以下となるような急冷を施すことによって、冷却後に行う横延伸の応力を高めて、幅方向の厚み斑を小さくすることが可能となる。
第二発明の縦-横延伸法によるフィルムの製造においては、縦延伸、中間熱セット、急冷後のフィルムを所定の条件で横延伸することが好ましい。即ち、横延伸は、テンター内で幅方向の両端際をクリップによって把持した状態で、65℃以上90℃以下の温度で3.5倍以上5.0倍以下の倍率となるように行うことが好ましい。かかる所定条件での横延伸を施すことによって、縦延伸および中間熱セットによって形成された“長手方向に配向しつつ収縮力に寄与しない分子”を保持したまま、幅方向へ分子を配向させて幅方向の収縮力を発現させることが可能となり、ラベルとした際のミシン目開封性が良好なフィルムを得ることが可能となる。また、縦-横延伸法を採用することで、単純な一軸延伸の空洞を有する熱収縮性フィルムよりも更に大きな面積延伸倍率を与えることができ、一層ミシン目開封性を向上させることができる。このミシン目開封性の向上は、直角引裂強度の低下とよい対応を示すものである。なお、横延伸の温度の下限は、67℃以上であるとより好ましく、70℃以上であると更に好ましい。また、横延伸の温度の上限は、85℃以下であるとより好ましく、80℃以下であるとより好ましい。一方、横延伸の倍率の下限は、3.6倍以上であると好ましく、3.7倍以上であるとより好ましい。また、横延伸の倍率の上限は、4.9倍以下であると好ましく、4.8倍以下であるとより好ましい。縦-横延伸法を採用し、従来の一軸延伸法よりも大きな面積延伸倍率とすることは、より小さい見かけ密度を得る上からも好ましい。
第二発明の白色熱収縮性ポリエステル系フィルムの製造に当たっては、縦延伸工程、中間熱処理工程、強制冷却工程、横延伸工程の条件を上記のような適切に設定して行うことにより、非常に効率的にフィルムの特性を良好なものとすることを可能とするものと考えられる。また、フィルムの特性の中でも、長手方向の直角引裂強度、幅方向の厚み斑、長手方向の厚み斑、溶剤接着強度といった重要な特性は、特定の複数の工程同士の複合的な作用によって数値が変動する場合がある。

実施例8と同様の方法で 未延伸フィルムの厚みを170μmに調節し、縦延伸工程、中間熱処理工程、強制冷却工程を排除して横一軸延伸を行い、厚み45μmの横一軸延伸フィルムを得た。そして、得られたフィルムの特性を実施例8と同様の方法によって評価した。評価結果を表6に示す。同横一軸延伸フィルムは実施例8の二軸延伸フィルムに比べてMORの値が大きい為、直角引裂強度が大きく、ミシン目開封不良率も大きい好ましくないものであった。
中間熱処理の温度を100℃に変更した他は実施例8と同様にして二軸延伸フィルムを得た。同二軸延伸フィルムは実施例8の二軸延伸フィルムに比較して、長手方向の温湯収縮率が大きく、ラベルでの収縮歪みが目立って好ましくないものであった。
撹拌機、温度計及び部分環流式冷却器を備えたステンレススチール製オートクレーブに、二塩基酸成分としてジメチルテレフタレート(DMT)100モル%と、グリコール成分としてエチレングリコール(EG)100モル%とを、グリコールがモル比でメチルエステルの2.2倍になるように仕込み、エステル交換触媒として酢酸亜鉛を0.05モル%(酸成分に対して)を用いて、生成するメタノールを系外へ留去しながらエステル交換反応を行った。その後、重縮合触媒として三酸化アンチモン0.025モル%(酸成分に対して)添加し、280℃で26.6Pa(0.2トール)の減圧条件下、重縮合反応を行い、固有粘度0.70dl/gのポリエステルAを得た。このポリエステルはポリエチレンテレフタレートである。また、上記と同様な方法により、表1に示すポリエステル(B,C,D)を合成した。なお、表中、NPGがネオペンチルグリコール、CHDMが1,4-シクロヘキサンジメタノール、BDが1,4-ブタンジオールである。それぞれのポリエステルの固有粘度は、Bが0.72dl/g、Cが0.80dl/g、Dが1.15dl/gであった。なお、各ポリエステルは、適宜チップ状にした。
上記したポリエステルAとポリエステルBとポリエステルDとを重量比10:80:10で混合してY層の原料とした。X層の原料は前記同様ポリエステルAとポリエステルBとポリエステルDとを重量比10:80:10で混合するに際し更にポリスチレン樹脂(G797N 日本ポリスチレン製)10重量%及び二酸化チタン(TA-300富士チタン製)10重量%を加えて混合した。X層及びY層の原料をそれぞれ別々の2軸スクリュー押出機に投入、混合、溶融したものをフィードブロックで接合したものをT-ダイスより280℃で溶融押出しし、表面温度30℃に冷却された回転する金属ロールに巻き付けて急冷することにより、厚さが484μmでY/X/Yの積層構造を持つ未延伸フィルムを得た(Y/X/Y=121μm/242μm/121μm)。このときの未延伸フィルムの引取速度(金属ロールの回転速度)は、約20m/min.であった。また、未延伸フィルムのTgは67℃であった。
実施例16においてX層の原料に添加したポリスチレン樹脂10重量%に代えて結晶性ポリプロピレン樹脂(FO-50F グランドポリマー性)10重量%に変更した以外は実施例16と同様の方法によって白色熱収縮性フィルムを連続的に製造した。そして、得られたフィルム及びラベルの特性を実施例16と同様の方法によって評価した。評価結果を表9に示す。実施例16と同様に良好なフィルムであった。
上記したポリエステルA,ポリエステルB,ポリエステルC,ポリエステルDを、重量比が10:15:65:10となるように混合してX層、Y層の原料ポリエステルを得て、各々押出機に投入した。混合時にX層原料にのみ実施例1と同様にポリスチレン樹脂(G797N 日本ポリスチレン製)10重量%及び二酸化チタン(TA-300富士チタン製)10重量%を加えた。しかる後、各々混合樹脂を実施例16と同様の条件で溶融押し出しすることによって未延伸フィルムを形成し、その未延伸フィルムを、実施例16と同様な条件で製膜することによって、約40μmの二軸延伸フィルムを幅500mmで連続的に製造した。そして、得られたフィルム及びラベルの特性を実施例16と同様の方法によって評価した。評価結果を表9に示す。

吐出量を調節してフィルム厚みが532μmでY/X/Yの積層構造(Y/X/Y=133μm/266μm/133μm)の未延伸フィルムを得て、縦延伸の1段目の延伸倍率を2.9倍とし(トータルの縦延伸倍率は、4.06倍)、中間熱処理ゾーンにおいて、170℃の温度で8.0秒間に亘って熱処理した他は実施例16と同様にして約40μmの二軸延伸フィルムを幅500mmで連続的に製造した。そして、得られたフィルム及びラベルの特性を実施例16と同様の方法によって評価した。評価結果を表9に示す。
実施例16に対してX層の二酸化チタン(TA-300富士チタン製)の添加量を14重量%に変更する他は、実施例16と同様な条件で製膜することによって、約40μmの二軸延伸フィルムを幅500mmで連続的に製造した。そして、得られたフィルムの特性を実施例16と同様の方法によって評価した。評価結果を表9に示す。
実施例16と同じポリエステル原料を実施例16と同様に溶融押し出しする際に、未延伸フィルムの厚みが144μmでY/X/Yの積層構造(Y/X/Y=36μm/72μm/36μm)を持つ未延伸フィルムとなるように押出機の吐出量を調整した。それ以外は実施例16と同様にして未延伸フィルムを得た。そして、未延伸フィルムを、長手方向には延伸せずに フィルム温度を90℃まで昇温後 85℃でフィルム幅方向に4倍延伸して 約40μmの一軸延伸フィルムを幅500mmで連続的に製造した。そして、得られたフィルム及びラベルの特性を実施例16と同様の方法によって評価した。評価結果を表9に示す。
