Description

  The present invention uses a laminate of 3 types and 5 layers in which a front and back layer containing a polyester resin as a main component is laminated via an adhesive layer on an intermediate layer containing a polystyrene resin as a main component, and the laminate. The present invention relates to a heat-shrinkable film, a heat-shrinkable label, a molded product, and a container equipped with the label. More specifically, the present invention is equipped with a heat-shrinkable laminated film, a heat-shrinkable label, a molded product, and the label having excellent heat-shrinkage characteristics and difficult to peel off even when processed at a high temperature. Concerning the container.

  Currently, soft drinks such as juice and alcoholic drinks such as beer are sold in a state of being filled in containers such as bottles and plastic bottles. For the above applications, polyester-based heat-shrink films that are rigid at room temperature, have excellent heat resistance and solvent resistance, and have a small natural shrinkage are mainly used. However, the polyester-based heat-shrinkable film has a problem in that shrinkage spots and wrinkles are likely to occur when mounted on a container because the polyester-based heat-shrinkable film shrinks rapidly. In addition, the shrink film is often provided with a perforation for the purpose of easily removing the shrink label from the container after use, but the polyester heat-shrink film has poor cutability at the perforation, and the label is removed from the container. It may not be easily removed.

  On the other hand, many polystyrene-based heat-shrink films having excellent low-temperature shrinkability are also used. However, the polystyrene-based heat-shrinkable film has a low low-temperature elongation, and has a problem that a label attached to a container breaks when it is accidentally dropped during refrigerated storage. In addition, polystyrene-based heat-shrinkable film has insufficient solvent resistance, so printing with ordinary organic solvent-based gravure ink curls the film or increases the amount of solvent remaining on the label. In many cases, blocking or organic solvent odor occurred.

  As means for solving the above problems, a two-layered three-layer film in which a front and back layer composed of a polyester resin is laminated on an intermediate layer composed of a polystyrene resin has been reported so far (for example, Patent Documents). 1 to 3). However, this two-layer / three-layer laminated film is usually used between the surface layer and the back layer for the purpose of preventing peeling between the surface layer and the back layer due to rubbing between films during transportation or scratching by a human nail or the like. A method of forming an adhesive layer is employed. For example, Patent Document 4 discloses a heat-shrinkable laminated film in which an intermediate layer made of polystyrene resin and front and back layers made of polyester resin are laminated through an adhesive layer made of olefin resin. However, when the heat-shrinkable laminated film is attached to a container, there is a problem that the surface layer and the back layer are peeled off in the heat-shrinking process, and an excellent appearance cannot be obtained.

It is a component that occupies the following ranges.

[Heat-shrinkable laminated film]
The film of the present invention has a hard polyester resin as a main component between an intermediate layer containing a polystyrene resin as a main component and a front and back layer containing a polyester resin as a main component, other than the hard polyester resin. Have an adhesive layer containing a soft styrene resin, a hard styrene resin, or a mixture thereof.

<Intermediate layer>
In the present invention, a styrene resin is used as the resin constituting the main component of the intermediate layer of the film. As the styrene resin, block copolymerization of a styrene hydrocarbon and a conjugated diene hydrocarbon is preferably used.

  Examples of styrenic hydrocarbons include polystyrene, poly (p-, m- or o-methylstyrene), poly (2,4-, 2,5-, 3,4- or 3,5-dimethylstyrene), poly Polyalkylstyrenes such as (pt-butylstyrene); poly (o-, m- or p-chlorostyrene), poly (o-, m- or p-bromostyrene), poly (o-, m- or p-fluorostyrene), polyhalogenated styrenes such as poly (o-methyl-p-fluorostyrene); polyhalogenated substituted alkylstyrenes such as poly (o-, m- or p-chloromethylstyrene); poly (p -, M- or o-methoxystyrene), poly (alkoxystyrene) such as poly (o-, m- or p-ethoxystyrene); poly (o-, m-, or p-carboxymethylstyrene) Examples include recarboxyalkyl styrene; polyalkyl ether styrene such as poly (p-vinylbenzylpropyl ether); polyalkylsilyl styrene such as poly (p-trimethylsilyl styrene); and polyvinylbenzyl dimethoxy phosphide. The styrenic hydrocarbon block may contain a homopolymer, a copolymer and / or a copolymerizable monomer other than the styrenic hydrocarbon in the block.

  Examples of conjugated diene hydrocarbons include butadiene, isoprene, 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene, 1,3-pentadiene, 1,3-hexadiene, and the like. Can be mentioned. The conjugated diene hydrocarbon block may contain a copolymerizable monomer other than these homopolymers, copolymers and / or conjugated diene hydrocarbons in the block.

  One of the block copolymers of a styrene hydrocarbon and a conjugated diene hydrocarbon preferably used in the intermediate layer is a styrene-butadiene in which the styrene hydrocarbon is styrene and the conjugated diene hydrocarbon is butadiene. Examples thereof include a system block copolymer (SBS). SBS preferably has a styrene / butadiene mass% ratio of about (95-60) / (5-40), more preferably (93-60) / (7-40), (90- More preferably, it is about 60) / (10-40). Further, the melt flow rate (MFR) measurement value of SBS (measurement conditions: temperature 200 ° C., load 49 N) is 2 g / 10 min or more, preferably 3 g / 10 min or more, and 15 g / 10 min or less, preferably It is desirable that it is 10 g / 10 min or less, more preferably 8 g / 10 min or less.

  Another example of the styrene hydrocarbon and conjugated diene hydrocarbon block copolymer preferably used in the present invention is a styrene-isoprene-butadiene block copolymer (SIBS). In SIBS, the mass% ratio of styrene / isoprene / butadiene is preferably (60-90) / (5-40) / (5-30), (60-85) / (10-30) / ( 5 to 25) is more preferable, and (60 to 80) / (10 to 25) / (5 to 20) is more preferable. Further, the melt flow rate (MFR) measurement value (measurement conditions: temperature 200 ° C., load 49 N) of SIBS is 2 g / 10 min or more, preferably 3 g / 10 min or more, and 15 g / 10 min or less, preferably It is desirable that it is 10 g / 10 min or less, more preferably 8 g / 10 min or less. If the butadiene content is high and the isoprene content is low, the butadiene heated inside the extruder or the like may cause a cross-linking reaction to increase the gel-like material. On the other hand, if the butadiene content is low and the isoprene content is high, the raw material unit price may increase and the production cost may increase.

  The styrenic resin is not limited to a simple substance, and may be a mixture of two or more. For example, when the styrenic resin is a mixture of SBS and SIBS, the mass% ratio of SBS / SIBS is preferably about (90 to 10) / (10 to 90), and (80 to 20) / ( More preferably, it is about 20-80), more preferably about (70-30) / (30-70).

  The content of the styrenic resin contained in the intermediate layer is 50% by mass or more, preferably 65% by mass or more, and more preferably 80% by mass or more, based on the total amount of the resin constituting the intermediate layer. However, when GPPS is contained, TPS (peak temperature of loss elastic modulus E ″) of GPPS is as high as about 100 ° C., so the content of GPPS to be mixed is 20% by mass of the total amount of resin constituting the intermediate layer. Hereinafter, it is desirable that the content is 15% by mass or less, and more preferably 10% by mass or less.

  If the styrenic resin contained in the intermediate layer is contained in an amount of 50% by mass or more of the total amount of the resin constituting the intermediate layer as described above, other resins can be mixed. Examples of other resins include polyester resins, polyolefin resins, acrylic resins, polycarbonate resins, and the like. Among these, polyester resins are preferable.

  A compatibilizing agent can also be added to the intermediate layer. The type of compatibilizer that can be added is not particularly limited. For example, when the resin constituting the intermediate layer contains a polyester resin, a polyolefin resin, an acrylic resin, a polycarbonate resin, or the like as the other resin, their dispersibility What can improve the is preferable. For example, a copolymer of a resin having high affinity with or compatible with the resin constituting the intermediate layer, or a polar group having reactivity or high affinity with one resin constituting the intermediate layer A resin having high affinity with or compatible with other resins constituting the intermediate layer can be exemplified as the compatibilizing agent. The content of the compatibilizer can be appropriately determined according to the type of resin used in the intermediate layer and its characteristics.

The block copolymer of the styrene hydrocarbon and the conjugated diene hydrocarbon is measured according to JIS K7142 by appropriately adjusting the composition ratio of the styrene hydrocarbon and the conjugated diene hydrocarbon. The rate (n ₁ ) can be adjusted to a desired value. Therefore, by adjusting the composition ratio of the styrene hydrocarbon and the conjugated diene hydrocarbon corresponding to the refractive index (n ₂ ) of the polyester resin used in the front and back layers described later, the range of n ₂ ± 0.02 The refractive index (n ₁ ) is obtained. This predetermined refractive index may be adjusted with a styrene-based hydrocarbon and a conjugated diene-based hydrocarbon block copolymer alone or may be adjusted by mixing two or more resins.

In the present invention, the storage elastic modulus (E ′) at a vibration frequency of 10 Hz, strain of 0.1%, and 0 ° C. of the styrene resin contained in the intermediate layer is preferably 1.00 × 10 ⁹ Pa or more. More preferably, it is 50 × 10 ⁹ Pa or more. The storage elastic modulus (E ′) at 0 ° C. represents the rigidity of the film, that is, the strength of the film. By having a storage elastic modulus (E ′) of 1.00 × 10 ⁹ Pa or more, a film having rigidity in addition to transparency can be obtained. This storage elastic modulus (E ′) is a block copolymer of the above-mentioned styrenic hydrocarbon and conjugated diene hydrocarbon, a mixture of two or more of these copolymers, or a range that does not impair transparency. It can be obtained by mixing with other resins.

When using a mixture of block copolymer of styrene hydrocarbon and conjugated diene hydrocarbon or a mixture of this copolymer and other resin as the main component of the intermediate layer, Good results can be obtained by appropriately selecting a coalescence or resin and a copolymer or resin that imparts rigidity. That is, by combining a styrene hydrocarbon-conjugated diene hydrocarbon block copolymer having high fracture resistance with a styrene hydrocarbon-conjugated diene hydrocarbon block copolymer having high rigidity, or high By mixing a styrenic hydrocarbon-conjugated diene hydrocarbon block copolymer having rupture resistance and other types of resins having high rigidity, these styrenic hydrocarbon-conjugated diene hydrocarbons are mixed. The total composition, or a mixture of them with other types of resins, can be adjusted to meet the desired refractive index (n ₁ ) and storage modulus (E ′) at 0 ° C.

Preferred as the styrene-based hydrocarbon-conjugated diene-based hydrocarbon block copolymer capable of imparting fracture resistance are pure block SBS and random block SBS. Among them, the storage elastic modulus (E ′) at 0 ° C. is 1.00 × 10 ⁸ Pa or more and 1.00 × 10 ⁹ Pa or less, and at least one of the peak temperatures of the loss elastic modulus (E ″) is −20. Those having viscoelastic properties at or below 0 ° C. are particularly preferred.If the storage elastic modulus at 0 ° C. is 1.0 × 10 ⁸ Pa or more, the strength of the waist is imparted by increasing the blend amount of the resin responsible for rigidity. On the other hand, at the peak temperature of the loss elastic modulus (E ″), the temperature on the low temperature side mainly shows fracture resistance. Although this characteristic varies depending on the stretching conditions, it is difficult to impart sufficient film breakability to the laminated film when the peak temperature of the loss modulus (E ″) does not exist at −20 ° C. or lower in the state before stretching. There is a case.

Further, as a resin capable of imparting rigidity, a copolymer composed of a styrene hydrocarbon having a storage elastic modulus (E ′) at 0 ° C. of 2.00 × 10 ⁹ Pa or more, for example, a styrene resin having a controlled block structure Examples thereof include block copolymers of hydrocarbons and conjugated diene hydrocarbons, polystyrene, styrene hydrocarbons and aliphatic unsaturated carboxylic acid ester copolymers.

As the styrene hydrocarbon-conjugated diene hydrocarbon block copolymer having a controlled block structure, the storage elastic modulus (E ′) at 0 ° C. is 2.00 × 10 ⁹ as a characteristic of the styrene-butadiene block copolymer. SBS that is Pa or higher is exemplified. The composition ratio of styrene-butadiene of SBS satisfying this is preferably adjusted to about styrene / butadiene = (95-80) / (5-20).

  The structure of the block copolymer and the structure of each block part are preferably a random block and a tapered block. More preferably, in order to control the shrinkage characteristics, the peak temperature of the loss modulus (E ″) is 40 ° C. or more, and more preferably, the peak of the clear loss modulus (E ″) is below 40 ° C. There is no temperature. When the peak temperature of the loss elastic modulus (E ″) does not exist up to 40 ° C., the storage elastic modulus characteristic is almost the same as that of polystyrene, so that the rigidity of the film can be imparted. The peak temperature of the loss modulus (E ″) is preferably in the range of 40 ° C. or more and 90 ° C. or less. This peak temperature is a factor that mainly affects the shrinkage rate. If this temperature is in the range of 40 ° C. or more and 90 ° C. or less, the natural shrinkage and the low temperature shrinkage rate are not extremely lowered.

  A polymerization method of a styrene-based hydrocarbon-conjugated diene-based hydrocarbon copolymer that satisfies the above viscoelastic properties is shown below. Usually, after a part of styrene or butadiene is charged to complete the polymerization, a mixture of styrene monomer and butadiene monomer is charged and the polymerization reaction is continued. This preferentially polymerizes butadiene having a higher polymerization activity, and finally a block composed of a single monomer of styrene is generated.

  For example, when styrene is homopolymerized first, and after the polymerization is completed, a mixture of styrene monomer and butadiene monomer is added and polymerization is continued, the styrene / butadiene monomer ratio gradually changes between the styrene block and the butadiene block. A styrene-butadiene block copolymer having a copolymer site is obtained. By providing such a site, a polymer having the above viscoelastic properties can be obtained. In this case, the two peaks due to the butadiene block and the styrene block as described above cannot be clearly confirmed, and it appears that only one peak exists. That is, in a block structure such as SBS of a random block in which a pure block and a butadiene block are clearly present, Tg due to the butadiene block is mainly present at 0 ° C. or less, and therefore, storage modulus at 0 ° C. ( It becomes difficult for E ′) to be not less than a predetermined value.

  Further, regarding the molecular weight, the melt flow rate (MFR) measurement value (measurement conditions: temperature 200 ° C., load 49 N) is adjusted in the range of 2 g / 10 min to 15 g / 10 min. The mixing amount of the styrene-butadiene block copolymer imparting this rigidity is appropriately adjusted according to the characteristics of the heat-shrinkable laminated film, and is preferably 20% by mass or more and 80% by mass or less of the total amount of the resin constituting the intermediate layer, preferably Is preferably adjusted in the range of 40% by mass to 70% by mass. If it is 80 mass% or less of resin total amount, the rigidity of a film can be improved significantly and it can suppress that fracture resistance falls. On the other hand, if it is 20 mass% or more of the total resin amount, sufficient rigidity can be imparted to the film.

  The molecular weight of the polystyrene resin contained in the intermediate layer has a weight (mass) average molecular weight (Mw) of 100,000 or more, preferably 150,000 or more, and 500,000 or less, preferably 400,000 or less. Preferably it is 300,000 or less. If the weight (mass) average molecular weight (Mw) of the polystyrene-based resin is 100,000 or more, it is preferable that there is no defect that causes deterioration of the film. Furthermore, if the molecular weight of the polystyrene-based resin is 500,000 or less, there is no need to adjust the flow characteristics and there are no defects such as a decrease in extrudability, which is preferable.

  When a copolymer of a styrene hydrocarbon and an aliphatic unsaturated carboxylic acid ester is used as the polystyrene resin, the aliphatic unsaturated carboxylic acid ester copolymerized with the styrene hydrocarbon includes methyl (meth) acrylate, butyl (Meth) acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl (meth) acrylate, lauryl (meth) acrylate, stearyl (meth) acrylate may be mentioned. Preferably, it is a copolymer of styrene and butyl (meth) acrylate, more preferably styrene is in the range of 70% by mass to 90% by mass, and Tg (peak temperature of loss elastic modulus E ″). The melt flow rate (MFR) measured value (measurement conditions: temperature 200 ° C., load 49 N) is 2 g / 10 min or more and 15 g / 10 min or less. In addition, the said (meth) acrylate shows an acrylate and / or a methacrylate.

  The content in the intermediate layer of the copolymer of styrene-based hydrocarbon and aliphatic unsaturated carboxylic acid ester is appropriately determined according to the composition ratio. Typically, it is adjusted in the range of 20% by mass or more and 70% by mass or less with respect to the total amount of the resin constituting the intermediate layer. If mixed at 70% by mass or less, the rigidity of the film can be greatly improved and good fracture resistance can be maintained. Moreover, if it mixes by 20 mass% or more, sufficient rigidity can be provided to a film.

<Front and back layers>
The polyester resin constituting the main component of the front and back layers of the film of the present invention can suppress spontaneous shrinkage while imparting rigidity, rupture resistance and low-temperature shrinkage to the film. A polyester resin suitable for the present invention is a polyester resin derived from a dicarboxylic acid residue and a diol residue. Examples of dicarboxylic acid residues include terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, 2-chloroterephthalic acid, 2,5-dichloroterephthalic acid, 2-methylterephthalic acid, 4,4-stilbene dicarboxylic acid, 4,4-biphenyldicarboxylic acid , Orthophthalic acid, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 2,7-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, bisbenzoic acid, bis (p-carboxyphenyl) methane, anthracene dicarboxylic acid, 4,4-diphenyl ether dicarboxylic acid, 4,4-di Aromatic dicarboxylic acids such as phenoxyethanedicarboxylic acid, 5-Na sulfoisophthalic acid, ethylene-bis-p-benzoic acid, adipic acid, sebacic acid, azelaic acid, dodecanedioic acid, 1,3-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, 1, Aliphatic dicarboxylic acids such as 4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid or It includes residues derived from these ester derivatives. These dicarboxylic acid residues may contain one kind alone or two or more kinds. As the polyester resin, a polyester resin composed of terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol is preferably used.

  In the present invention, it is more preferable that at least one of a dicarboxylic acid residue and a diol residue is a mixture composed of two or more types of residues. In the present specification, among the two or more types of residues, a main residue, that is, a residue having the largest mass (mol%) is defined as a first residue, and a smaller amount than the first residue is defined as a second residue. The following residues (namely, second residue, third residue,...) Are assumed. By making such a mixture of dicarboxylic acid residue and diol residue, the crystallinity of the resulting polyester resin can be lowered, so that when used as an intermediate layer, the progress of crystallization of the intermediate layer is suppressed. Is preferable.

  Preferred diol residue mixtures include, for example, the ethylene glycol residue as the first residue, 1,4-butanediol, neopentyl glycol, diethylene glycol, polytetramethylene glycol, and 1,4-cyclohexane as the second residue. Examples thereof include a residue derived from at least one selected from the group consisting of dimethanol, preferably 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol residue.

  The preferred dicarboxylic acid residue mixture is, for example, selected from the group consisting of terephthalic acid residue as the first residue and isophthalic acid, 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, succinic acid and adipic acid as the second residue. Examples thereof include a residue derived from at least one kind, preferably an isophthalic acid residue.

  The total content of dicarboxylic acid residues and diol residues below the second residue is the sum of the total amount of dicarboxylic acid residues (100 mol%) and the total amount of diol residues (100 mol%) ( 200 mol%) or more, preferably 20 mol% or more, and 40 mol% or less, preferably 35 mol% or less. If the content rate of the said 2 or less residue is 10 mol% or more, the crystallinity degree of polyester obtained can be restrained low. On the other hand, when the content of the residues of 2 residues or less is 40 mol% or less, the advantages of the first residue can be utilized.

  For example, when the dicarboxylic acid residue is a terephthalic acid residue, the first residue of the diol residue is an ethylene glycol residue, and the second residue is a 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol residue, the second residue The content of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol residues is the total amount of terephthalic acid residues that are dicarboxylic acid residues (100 mol%), ethylene glycol residues, and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol residues. 10 mol% or more, preferably 15 mol% or more, more preferably 25 mol% or more, and 40 mol% or less, preferably 38 mol%, based on the total (200 mol%) of the total amount (100 mol%) Hereinafter, it is more preferably in the range of 35 mol% or less. By using an ethylene glycol residue and a 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol residue as the diol residue within this range, the crystallinity of the obtained polyester is almost lost, and the fracture resistance can be improved.

  Furthermore, in the above example, when the dicarboxylic acid residue is a terephthalic acid residue as the first residue and an isophthalic acid residue as the second residue, the dicarboxylic acid residue is an isophthalic acid residue and a diol residue. The content of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol residue is the total amount of terephthalic acid residue and isophthalic acid residue (100 mol%) and the total amount of ethylene glycol residue and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol residue. 10 mol% or more, preferably 15 mol% or more, more preferably 25 mol% or more, and 40 mol% or less, preferably 38% mol or less, based on the total (200 mol%) of (100 mol%), More preferably, it is the range of 35 mol% or less.

The refractive index (n ₂ ) of the polyester resin is 1.560 or more and 1.580 or less, preferably 1.565 or more and 1.574 or less. In this case, the refractive index (n ₁ ) of the styrene hydrocarbon-conjugated diene hydrocarbon block copolymer contained in the intermediate layer is 1.540 or more and 1.600 or less, preferably 1.550 or more and 1. It is 590 or less, More preferably, it is 1.555 or more and 1.585 or less.

If intrinsic viscosity (IV) is 0.5 dl / g or more, it can suppress that a film strength characteristic and heat resistance fall. On the other hand, if the intrinsic viscosity is 1.5 dl / g or less, it is possible to prevent breakage associated with an increase in stretching tension.

  Examples of the above-mentioned commercially available polyester resins include “PETG coplyester 6763” (Eastman Chemical), “Embrace LV” (Eastman Chemical), “PETG SKYGREEN S2008” (SK Chemical). Can be mentioned.

  If the polyester resin contained in the front and back layers is contained in an amount of 20% by mass or more, preferably 40% by mass or more, more preferably 60% by mass or more, based on the total amount of the resins constituting the front and back layers, other than the polyester resin Other resins may be included. Examples of such resins include polyolefin resins, polystyrene resins, polycarbonate resins, and acrylic resins, among which polystyrene resins are preferable.

  As the polyester resin used in the front and back layers of the film of the present invention, in addition to the polyester resin derived from the dicarboxylic acid residue and the diol residue, a carboxylic acid residue and an alcohol residue are contained in one molecule. It is also possible to use a polyester resin obtained by polymerizing monomers having the above. In particular, polylactic acid obtained by condensation polymerization of lactic acid can be suitably used because it imparts rigidity, low-temperature shrinkage, and low natural shrinkage.

<Compatibilizer>
The adhesive layer in the film of the present invention can contain a compatibilizing agent. By including a compatibilizer in the adhesive layer, the dispersibility of the polyester resin and styrene resin is improved, the transparency of the film is improved, and the thickness is uniform, which is preferable from the viewpoint of manufacturing and productivity improvement.

In addition to the plasticizer and tackifier resin, the film of the present invention may have various additives depending on the purpose, such as an ultraviolet absorber, a light stabilizer, an antioxidant, a stabilizer, a colorant, an antistatic agent, Lubricants, inorganic fillers, and the like can be appropriately added depending on each application.

<Layer structure of film>
The film structure of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it has at least a three-layer structure having an adhesive layer between the front and back layers and the intermediate layer. Here, the front and back layers may have the same layer as the intermediate layer in addition to the front and back layers constituting the outermost layer.

  A preferred laminated structure in the present invention is a five-layer structure comprising a surface layer / adhesive layer / intermediate layer / adhesive layer / back layer. By adopting this layer structure, the heat shrinkable laminated film suitable for uses such as shrink wrapping, shrink tying wrapping and shrink wrap labels, which has achieved the good shrinkage characteristics of the film and the suppression of delamination as the object of the present invention. Can be obtained with good productivity and economy.

  Next, a film having a five-layer structure of surface layer / adhesive layer / intermediate layer / adhesive layer / back layer composed of a surface layer, an intermediate layer, and an adhesive layer, which is one preferred embodiment of the present invention, will be described.

  In the film of the present invention, the thickness ratio between the front and back layers and the intermediate layer is 1 or more, preferably 1.5 or more, more preferably 2 or more when the thickness of the front and back layers is 1. And 10 or less, preferably 8 or less, more preferably 6 or less. The thickness of the adhesive layer is 10% or more of the total thickness of the front and back layers, preferably 15% or more, 300% or less, preferably 200% or less, more preferably 100% or less. It is desirable. If the thickness of the adhesive layer is 10% or more of the total thickness of the front and back layers, a good adhesive effect is obtained, and if the thickness is 100% or less, that is, the thickness of the total thickness of the front and back layers is transparent There is no significant decline in performance.

  Although the total thickness of the film of the present invention is not particularly limited, it is preferably thinner from the viewpoint of suppressing raw material costs as much as possible. Specifically, the thickness after stretching is preferably 60 μm or less, and is 55 μm or less. Is more preferably 50 μm or less, and most preferably 45 μm or less.

<Shrinkage characteristics>
The film of the present invention has a thermal shrinkage rate in a range of 5% or less, preferably 3% or less, more preferably 1% or less in at least one direction when immersed in warm water at 50 ° C. for 10 seconds. The film of the present invention has a thermal shrinkage rate of 10% or more and less than 30%, preferably 10% or more and 25% or less, more preferably 10% or more in at least one direction when immersed in warm water at 70 ° C. for 10 seconds. The range is 20% or less. The film of the present invention has a thermal shrinkage rate of 30% or more, preferably 35% or more, more preferably 40% or more, and 70% or less in at least one direction when immersed in warm water at 80 ° C. for 10 seconds. , Preferably 60% or less, more preferably 50% or less.

  In this specification, “at least one direction” means either or both of the main contraction direction and the direction orthogonal to the main contraction direction, and usually refers to the main contraction direction. Here, the “main contraction direction” means a direction in which the stretching direction is larger between the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction, and is, for example, a direction corresponding to the outer peripheral direction when being attached to a bottle.

  If the thermal shrinkage rate is greater than 5% when immersed in 50 ° C warm water for 10 seconds, the film's natural shrinkage rate is likely to increase. It is thought that the appearance defect that becomes uneven is caused.

  In addition, when the thermal shrinkage rate in the main shrinkage direction near 70 ° C. is less than 10%, the heat shrinkage force is small. For example, when the laminated film is used as the container label, the container cannot be temporarily fixed. When the temperature is high, the film may be displaced in the direction of the top surface. On the other hand, if the thermal contraction rate in the main contraction direction is higher than 30% at around 70 ° C., the thermal contraction may occur suddenly in a low temperature region, so that the thermal contraction may not be performed at a predetermined position. On the other hand, if the heat shrinkage rate in the main shrinkage direction near 80 ° C. is less than 30%, the heat shrinkage rate in the main shrinkage direction near 80 ° C. It is 30% or more, preferably 40% or more, more preferably 50% or more.

  Therefore, if the thermal contraction rate in at least one direction when immersed in warm water at 70 ° C. and 80 ° C. for 10 seconds is within the above range, the laminated film is temporarily fixed to, for example, a container in a low temperature region near 70 ° C. In addition, the shrinkage of the container rapidly starts in a high temperature range exceeding 70 ° C and near 80 ° C. Even on the thin neck and top surface, no abnormalities such as wrinkles and avatars occur, and uniform shrinkage is obtained, resulting in a beautiful shrinkage finish.

  When the film of the present invention is used as a PET container label, the thermal contraction rate in the orthogonal direction when immersed in warm water at 80 ° C. for 10 seconds is preferably 20% or less, more preferably 10% or less. Preferably, it is 8% or less. Further, the thermal contraction rate in the orthogonal direction when immersed in warm water at 70 ° C. for 10 seconds is preferably 10% or less, more preferably 5% or less, and further preferably 3% or less. When the shrinkage rate in the orthogonal direction exceeds 10%, the shrinkage in the vertical direction becomes remarkable after shrinkage in label applications, which may cause a dimensional deviation or an appearance defect.

FIG. 3A shows a film piece 100 obtained by cutting the film of the present invention into a rectangle having a size of 110 mm in the take-up direction (MD) and a right angle direction (TD) of 235 mm, and FIG. Is a laminate in which the surface layer or back layer surface on one end side A in the take-up direction (MD) and the back layer surface or surface layer on the other end side B in the take-off direction (MD) are sealed in parallel to the take-up direction (MD). It is drawing explaining the state which formed the overlapping part 8 of width 2-7mm on the film.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a rectangular film piece 100 is obtained by cutting out from the film roll of the present invention to a size of 110 mm in the take-up direction (MD) and 235 mm in the perpendicular direction (TD). Next, the surface of the surface layer 2 on one end side A of the MD of the film piece 100 and the surface of the back layer 2 ′ on the other end side B are sealed so as to be parallel to the MD, and overlapped with a width of 2 to 7 mm on the film. A cylindrical film having the mating portion 8 is created. Subsequently, this cylindrical film is heat-treated at 99 ° C. In the present invention, “heat-treating at 99 ° C.” means a state in which a film is put on a 350 ml capacity square bottle and immersed in 99 ° C. warm water for 10 seconds.

  When the film of the present invention is returned to room temperature after the heat treatment at 99 ° C., the film of the present invention is between the MD end face 10 ′ of the back layer 2 ′ and the MD end face 12 of the adhesive layer 4 sealed by the overlapping portion 8. Alternatively, the width 18 w of the deviation 18 between the end face 10 ′ of the MD of the back layer 2 ′ and the end faces 10 ′, 12 of the MD of the adhesive layer 4 and the end face 14 of the MD of the intermediate layer 6 It is within 5% for the width 8w.

(B)) is shown. In these cases, the deviation width 18 is within 5% with respect to the overlapping width 8 w of the overlapping portion 8.

  When a laminated film having front and back layers made of a conventional polyester-based resin is subjected to heat treatment, a phenomenon of peeling between the front and back layers and the adhesive layer or between the front and back layers and the adhesive layer and the intermediate layer is observed. There was a problem that a good appearance could not be obtained. On the other hand, the film of the present invention hardly peels between the front and back layers and the adhesive layer or between the front and back layers and the adhesive layer and the intermediate layer even when subjected to heat treatment, and an excellent appearance is obtained.

  In the film of the present invention, the ease of peeling can be represented by a shift generated between the front and back layers and the adhesive layer after sealing or between the adhesive layer and the intermediate layer. That is, in the film of the present invention, when the film is heat-treated at 99 ° C. and then returned to room temperature, the back layer or the back surface of the back surface sealed in the overlapped portion or the back surface (MD) end surface and the adhesive layer take-off direction The deviation width between the end face of (MD) or the deviation width between the end face of the back layer or the surface layer and the adhesive layer in the take-up direction (MD) and the end face of the intermediate layer in the take-up direction (MD) is the overlap. It is within 5%, preferably within 3%, more preferably within 2% with respect to the overlap width of the mating portion. If the deviation in the overlapped portion after the heat treatment is within 5%, there is no separation between the one outer layer and the adhesive layer or the adhesive layer and the inner layer even after the heat treatment, and an excellent appearance can be maintained.

  The overlapping portion seals the surface of the front and back layers on one end side in the take-up direction (MD) and the surface of the front and back layers on the other end side in the take-up direction (MD) so as to be parallel to the take-up direction (MD). It is a part formed by overlapping the laminated film with a width of 2 to 7 mm.

(Method for producing heat-shrinkable film)
The film of the present invention comprises an intermediate layer containing a polystyrene resin as a main component, a front and back layer containing a polyester resin as a main component disposed on both sides of the intermediate layer, and a front and back layer and an intermediate layer. An adhesive layer formed therebetween is laminated simultaneously or sequentially to produce a laminated film, and then the laminated film is heated and obtained by stretching in at least one axial direction.

  The laminated film can be produced simultaneously with an intermediate layer, front and back layers and an adhesive layer by co-extrusion using an extruder equipped with a T die by an existing method such as a T die method or a tubular method. In addition, the laminated film can be sequentially produced by separately forming the resin constituting each layer and then laminating them using a press method or a roll nip method.

  The laminated film is cooled with a cooling roll, air, water, etc., and then reheated by an appropriate method such as hot air, hot water, infrared rays, etc., roll stretching method, tenter stretching method, tubular stretching method, long interval stretching method, etc. Uniaxially or biaxially stretched simultaneously or sequentially. In biaxial stretching, stretching in the MD and TD directions may be performed at the same time, but sequential biaxial stretching in which one of them is performed first is effective, and the order of either MD or TD may be first. The stretching temperature needs to be changed depending on the softening temperature of the resin constituting the film and the use required for the heat-shrinkable laminated film, but is generally 60 ° C., preferably 70 ° C. or more, and 130 ° C. or less, preferably 120 It is controlled in the range of ℃ or less. The draw ratio in the main shrink direction (TD) is 2 times or more, preferably 3 times or more, more preferably 4 times or more, and 7 times depending on the film constituents, stretching means, stretching temperature, and target product form. Hereinafter, it is suitably determined within a range of preferably 6 times or less. Whether to use uniaxial stretching or biaxial stretching is determined by the application of the target product.

  Even in the case of an application that requires shrinkage characteristics in almost one direction, such as a PET container label, it is effective to stretch the film in a range that does not impair the shrinkage characteristics in the vertical direction. The stretching temperature depends on components other than PET, but typically ranges from 60 ° C. to 90 ° C. Furthermore, with respect to the draw ratio, as the size is increased, the fracture resistance is improved, but the heat shrinkage rate is increased accordingly, and it is difficult to obtain a good shrinkage finish. It is particularly preferred that
