Definitions

  • the present invention relates to biaxially oriented copolyester film coated on one or both sides with vinyl acetate polymers which render the copolyester film surface receptive to additional reprographic or matte coatings applied thereto, and to film containing the reclamation product of such coated film.
  • Polyester films particularly biaxially oriented film composed of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are widely used as a base for drafting film, photographic film, and reprographic film, as well as for packaging and labeling applications.
  • Polyester films, especially PET films have disadvantages which still need to be overcome, e.g., UV resistance, dimensional stability, heat stabili ⁇ ty, and hydrolysis resistance are still poor.
  • PET film is hydrophobic and is not readily receptive to coating in most applications where the film is to serve as a base or support for other coatings, and must therefore be first coated on one or both sides with a primer coating which adheres to the film and is receptive as well to other coatings applied to it.
  • 2,627,088 and 2,698,240 teach a primer coating for PET film comprising a terpolymer composition of vinylidene chloride, acrylic ester and itaconic acid.
  • This primer layer is said to have excellent adhesion to the polyester surface and to water or alcohol based photographic gelatin layers subsequently coated thereon.
  • PET film primer includes copoiymers of a vinyl haloge- noester, such as vinyl chloroacetate which may be copoiymerized with numerous different monomers such as acrylic and methacrylic acids, esters and amides, olefins and vinyl alcohols as disclosed in U.S. Patent No.
  • Such copoiymers may also be crosslinked by the inclusion of melamine or urea formaldehyde resins in the composition.
  • the primed PET film is stated to exhibit enhanced adhesion to a variety of coatings applied thereto, including reprographic coatings.
  • thermoset, acrylic or methacrylic coatings taught in U.S. Patent No. 3,819,773, which can be applied to the PET film from aqueous medium.
  • a primer layer enhances the adhesion of organic solvent based reprographic and drafting layers applied thereto and also the heat sealability.
  • British Patent No. B 1 ,127,076 teaches the application to PET film of a primer layer which may comprise an aqueous latex of non-crosslinked polyvinyl acetate. The patent indicates that such primer layers render the film heat-sealable.
  • British Patent No. 1 ,146,215 teaches the application to PET film of a primer coating comprising an aqueous dispersion of a copolymer of vinyl acetate (100 parts), alkyl methacrylate (10 parts) and itaconic acid (6 parts). The patent indicates that the primer provides enhanced adhesion to aqueous based gelatin photographic emulsions, but does not indicate that organic solvent based coatings may be successfully applied thereto.
  • 3,674,531 discloses the application to PET film of a primer layer comprising a copolymer of a vinyl halogenoester, such as vinyl chloroacetate, which may be copolymerized with numerous different monomers such as acrylic and methacrylic acids, esters and amides, olefins and vinyl alcohol.
  • This copolymer may also be crosslinked such as by the inclusion of a melami- ne or urea formaldehyde crosslinking agent.
  • the primed PET film is stated to exhibit enhanced adhesion to a variety of coatings applied thereto, including reprographic coatings.
  • 3,624,021 discloses a matte coating composition for PET film based on a mixture of a vinyl acetate/crotonic acid copolymer and an excess of a urea formaldehyde resin which presumably crosslinks upon the application of heat.
  • British Patent 1 ,497,657 discloses a similar primer coating for PET film which is based on a mixture of an unhy- drolysed polymer or copolymer of vinyl acetate and one or more synthetic resins capable of intra-molecular crosslinking, such as a melamine formalde ⁇ hyde resin.
  • the patent indicates that the primer layer may serve, inter alia, as an anchor layer for the application of further coatings, such as light-sensiti ⁇ ve layers.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 3,720,539 discloses a primer coating system for polye ⁇ ster film comprising a first undercoat based on a composition containing a polyacryiamide or polyvinyl alcohol polymer and having applied over such undercoat a coating comprising a mixture of polyvinyl acetate and a melami- ne/formaldehyde resin.
  • this system adheres well to the film, it is a complicated formulation involving two coating steps and also includes materi ⁇ als such as trichloroacetic acid which are not especially desirable in such coating formulations.
  • British Patent No. 1 , 168, 171 teaches the application to PET film of a primer layer described as a curable copolymer of an unsaturated aliphatic acid and at least one other ethylenically unsaturated monomer.
  • the patent indica ⁇ tes that such a primer coating enhances adhesion to aqueous based gelatin photographic emulsions, but does not indicate that organic solvent based coatings may be successfully applied thereto.
  • This patent also discloses that film primed with the vinyl acetate coatings described therein may be reclai ⁇ med in the film forming extruder by mixing it with 50 percent by weight or more of virgin polyester and refeeding the mixture to the film-forming ex ⁇ truder.
  • a primer coated biaxially oriented self- supporting mono- or multilayer copolyester film wherein the copolyester is PENBB and wherein the primer coating contains a vinyl acetate polymer provides excellent UV resistance, good dimensional stability, heat stability and hydrolysis resistance, lower moisture absorption, improved stiffness (tensile modulus) and tensile strength, while providing excellent adhesion to many organic solvent based coatings subsequently applied thereto, and reclai- mability when reprocessed during the manufacture of the PENBB film without giving rise to hardly any appreciable degradation of the film.
  • U.S. Patent No. 3,008,934 discloses copolyesters containing as acid derived units 4,4'-bibenzoate and a host of other dicarboxylates including 2,6-naphthalic dicarboxylate. It also discloses oriented fibers and films prepa ⁇ red from these copolyesters, however, biaxially oriented PENBB films are not disclosed or envisioned. In particular, those films with improved stiffness (tensile modulus) and tensile strength in both MD and TD as well as thermo- stability, UV stability, hydrophobicity, dimensional stability and impermeability toward gases in comparison to PET film are not disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,008,934.
  • PENBB as mentioned hereinbefore is a copolyester containing as acid- derived unit at least 5 mole percent of a radical of the formula
  • PENBB is a copolyester wherein at least 80 mole percent of the acid derived units (NBB) consist of bibenzoate (20 to 80 mole percent, preferably 40 to 60 mole percent) and naphthalate (80 to 20 mole percent, preferably 60 to 40 mole percent). The remaining 20 or less mole percent may consist of other acid derived units, which e.g. affect the melting point or the crystallization kinetics.
  • NNBB acid derived units
  • naphthalate 80 to 20 mole percent, preferably 60 to 40 mole percent
  • the remaining 20 or less mole percent may consist of other acid derived units, which e.g. affect the melting point or the crystallization kinetics.
  • at least 80 mole percent of the diol-derived units consist of -O(CH 2 ) 2 -O-units. The remaining
  • 20 or less mole percent consist of other diol-derived units, which e.g. may also affect the melting point or the crystallization kinetics. It may also be desirable to replace minor amounts of the acid- and/or diol-derived units with hydroxycarboxylic-acid-derived units, e.g. such derived from p-hydroxyben- zoic acid.
  • the polymer melt is extruded through a die onto a chill roll where it solidifies, is then biaxially oriented, heat set, optionally post treated and wound on a roll.
  • the IV value inherent viscosity, as measured in a 1 : 1 weight-ratio mixture of pentafluorophenoi and hexafluoroisopropanol at a concentration of 0.2 g/dl and a temperature of 25 * C
  • the IV value of the PENBB polymer after extrusion be > 0.5 dl/g and preferably > 0.55 dl/g.
  • in-line or off-line coating can be used.
  • the solidified film as extruded on the chill roll should be obtained in a essentially amorphous state.
  • the melt film must be pinned to the chill roll by a known method such as electrostatic pinning or vacuum, air knife or the like.
  • the biaxial orientation of the film is achieved by stretching the film at elevated temperature in the machine (MD) and transverse direction (TD).
  • This stretching can be either simultaneous or sequential.
  • the first stretching step can be in either MD or TD, followed by stretching in the other direction.
  • the orientation in MD can also be achieved in several steps, either one after another prior to stretching in TD, or before and after the TD stretching.
  • Preferred temperatures for stretching lie bet ⁇ ween the glass transition temperature and about 30 "C above the cold cry ⁇ stallization temperature of the PENBB copolymer composition in use (both temperatures can easily be measured on amorphous films by DSC).
  • the total stretch ratios ( ⁇ ) in MD and TD lie between 1 : 2 and 1 : 10, preferably between 1 : 2.5 and 1 : 5.
  • the product of the total stretch ratios should be between 1 to 30 preferably between 5 to 20.
  • Biaxial drawing is performed such that the birefringeance is ⁇ 0.2, preferably ⁇ 0.1 to ensure adequately isotropic properties.
  • Birefringeance as mentioned herein is the absolute value of the difference between the maximum and minimum refractive indices in the plane of the film, as measured on common instruments such as Abbe refractometer, optical bench or compensators.
  • relaxation steps can be included in the orientation and heat setting processes.
  • the heat setting takes place at a temperature between the cold crystal- lization temperature and the melt temperature of the copolymer composition.
  • a surface treatment such as corona, plasma or flame treatment should be employed before winding the film on a roll.
  • the film Prior to coating the copolyester film surface with the acetate coating composition, the film may be surface treated in a conventional manner by exposure to, e.g. an electric corona, plasma or flame treatment.
  • Electric corona discharge is a conventional surface treatment which is commonly performed on a film to enhance its surface qualities, especially its adhesive and printing properties. Electric discharge methods and apparatus are des ⁇ cribed in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,057,792 and 4,239,973. If the surface treat ⁇ ment followed by the coating occurs before stretch orientation, heating the film before stretch orientation will drive off the water.
  • the corona treatment followed by the acetate polymer coating may occur during the in-line manufacturing process, either before stretch orientation, or between the machine draw and transverse draw of biaxial stretch orientation, or after stretch orientation. If the surface treatment and coating steps occur after stretch orientation, it is necessary to completely dry the film before winding. If the surface treatment and coating occur before orientation, or between draw during orientation, the later orientation steps which require the film to be heated would drive off the excess water from the acetate polymer coating. Preferably, for biaxially oriented film the corona treatment and subsequent acetate polymer coating occur between draws during the stretch orientation step.
  • the mono- or multilayer PENBB film is coated on the corona, plasma or flame treated surface preferably with an aqueous dispersion of the acetate coating composition described below.
  • the coating composition may conven ⁇ iently be applied as an aqueous dispersion or emulsion using any of the well known coating techniques.
  • the film may be coated by roller coating, spray coating, gravure coating, or slot coating.
  • the heat applied to the film during the subsequent pre-heating, stretching, and heat setting stages is generally sufficient to evaporate the water and crosslink the acetate coating, if a crosslinkable monomer comprises a portion of the acetate coa- ting.
  • the coated, biaxially oriented PENBB film may then be heat treated for a period of time necessary to crystallize the film. Crystallization imparts the improved dimensional stability and excellent tensile properties to the PENBB film.
  • the so coated crystallized, biaxially oriented PENBB film is then wound onto a roll.
  • the vinyl acetate copoiymers used as primer layers consist essentially of at least about 50% by weight of polymerized vinyl acetate, which is unhydrolyzed or less than 25% hydrolyzed, and from about 1 % to 15% by weight of a copolymerizable comonomer which in its copolymerized state is then capable of inter-molecular crosslinking by the application of heat without the addition of a separate crosslinking agent.
  • crosslinking comonomers examples include N-methylol acrylamide, N-methylol metha ⁇ crylamide and their corresponding ethers; epoxy materials such as glycidyl acrylate, glycidyl methacrylate and allylglycidyl ether; carboxyl containing materials such as crotonic acid, itaconic acid or acrylic acid; anhydrides such as maleic anhydride or itaconic anhydride; hydroxy containing monomers such as allyl alcohol and hydroxy ethyl or propyl acrylate or methacrylate; amides such as acrylamide, methacrylamide or maleamide; and isocyanates such as vinylisocyanate or allylisocyanate.
  • Preferred comonomers from the above are N-methylolacrylamide and N-methyloimethacrylamide, mainly because copolymer chains containing one of these monomers are capable of condensing with one another with the ap ⁇ plication of heat to form the desired inter-molecular crosslinking.
  • copoiymers containing the other functional monomers it is necessary to form blends of two or more copoiymers containing different functional como ⁇ nomers to achieve the desired crosslinking, e.g.
  • blended vinyl acetate copoiy ⁇ mers include copoiymers containing monomers having epoxide functionality combined with copoiymers containing monomers having amine, acid anhydri ⁇ de, carboxyl, hydroxyl or N-methylol functionality; copoiymers containing monomers have N-methylol or N-methylol ether functionality combined with copoiymers containing monomers having carboxyl, hydroxyl, or amine functionality; copoiymers containing monomers having isocyanate functionali ⁇ ty combined with copoiymers containing monomers having carboxyl or hydroxyl functionality; and so forth.
