Description

  TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a polyester film for a laminated decorative material, and relates to a polyester film suitable as a laminated decorative material having excellent processability for surface makeup such as furniture and kitchen product cabinets.

  For decorative materials such as furniture and cabinets for kitchen products, use decorative films with wood grain patterns and printing on the surface of various metal materials such as wood materials, inorganic materials, synthetic resin materials, steel plates, etc. By pasting with an adhesive and decorating the surface, it gives a sense of quality and increases the commercial value.

  By the way, a vinyl chloride resin is the most common film used between the substrate and the pattern printing layer. However, when a vinyl chloride resin is used, the plasticizer blended in the sheet moves to the adhesive layer on the bonding surface and causes poor adhesion, and the thermal dimensional stability of the vinyl chloride resin is poor, There is a problem that expansion and contraction due to heat occurs and causes wrinkles. In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for cosmetic base materials that do not use vinyl chloride resin due to environmental problems during incineration.

  A film for a laminated decorative material is required to satisfy properties such as weather resistance, light resistance, heat resistance, water resistance, solvent resistance, surface hardness, abrasion resistance, and scratch resistance. An acrylic resin film may be used as another decorative material film. However, since the acrylic resin film is inferior in heat resistance and solvent resistance, there are drawbacks such as limited printing materials and application ranges. Furthermore, in recent years, the diversification of the design has progressed, and it is ideal for laminating that combines heat resistance and moldability (flexibility) that can be adapted to those with precise surface designs and complex three-dimensional shapes. A new base film has been demanded.

JP 2006-182929 A JP 2004-106411 A JP 2007-210270 A JP 2006-160848 A JP 2002-52604 A JP-A-9-221556 JP 2007-181978 A JP 2002-194186 A JP 2007-118224 A

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and its purpose is not to cause environmental problems during incineration, excellent in heat resistance and solvent resistance, etc. The object is to provide a laminated decorative polyester film having a good shape and shape.

  As a result of intensive studies in view of the above problems, the present inventors have found that the above problems can be easily solved by a polyester film having a specific configuration, and have completed the present invention.

  That is, the gist of the present invention is that a copolymer polyester composed of a dicarboxylic acid component containing terephthalic acid and 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid and a glycol component containing 1,4-butanediol and ethylene glycol is 40 to 90. A laminate characterized by having a coating layer on at least one side of a laminated film having layers made of a polyethylene terephthalate copolymer on both sides of a polyester layer containing wt%, and simultaneously satisfying the following formulas (1) to (3): It exists in the polyester film for laminated cosmetics.

E ′ ≦ 1500 (1)
ΔP ≦ 0.150 (2)
HS ≦ 4.2 (3)
(In the above formula, E ′ is the average storage elastic modulus (MPa) in both the longitudinal and transverse directions of the film at 80 ° C., and ΔP is each refractive index in the film width direction, the longitudinal direction, and the thickness direction (respectively nX, nY, nZ, respectively). From the formula: (nX + nY) / 2-nZ, and HS is the heat shrinkage rate (%) in both the vertical and horizontal directions of the film after heat treatment in a drying oven at 150 ° C. for 3 minutes. )

  According to the present invention, there is no environmental problem at the time of incineration, the molding property of a complicated solid shape at the time of laminating processing is good, and the polyester of the excellent laminating substrate capable of appearing a high-design pattern A film is provided and the industrial value of the present invention is very large.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
The polyester film of the present invention is a laminated film composed of at least three layers having an inner layer and layers on both sides thereof, and all layers are extruded by a so-called coextrusion method in which co-extrusion is performed from a die of an extruder. The product is obtained as stretched and heat treated.
Hereinafter, the coextruded three-layer film will be described. However, the present invention is not limited to the three-layer film as long as the gist of the present invention is not exceeded, and may be a multilayer of four layers or more.

  In the present invention, the polyethylene terephthalate copolymer constituting the layers contacting both surfaces of the inner layer (hereinafter also referred to as B layer) is usually a polyester comprising 85 to 95 mol% of ethylene terephthalate. In this polyester, the components that can be copolymerized as the third component include acid components such as dicarboxylic acid components such as 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, adipic acid, sebacic acid, phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, and the like. Mellitic acid, pyromellitic acid and the like can be mentioned, and among them, it is preferable to use isophthalic acid as a copolymerization component. Examples of the alcohol component that can be copolymerized include diol components such as butylene glycol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, diethylene glycol, neopentyl glycol, and polyalkylene glycol. . These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

  In the present invention, the copolymer polyester constituting the B layer is a copolymer comprising a dicarboxylic acid component containing terephthalic acid and 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, and a glycol component containing 1,4-butanediol and ethylene glycol. It is polyester and has a layer made of a copolyester made of a polyethylene terephthalate copolymer on both sides of a polyester layer containing 40 to 90% by weight of the copolyester.

Moreover, B layer of the film of this invention consists of a polyester composition which contains the said copolyester 40 to 90weight%, and contains 1 or more types of polyester other than copolyester. The bifunctional acid component of the polyester other than the copolyester may be any one that mainly comprises an aromatic dicarboxylic acid or an ester-forming derivative thereof, such as terephthalic acid, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, or an ester-forming derivative thereof. Examples thereof include dimethyl terephthalate and dimethyl 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate. Among these, terephthalic acid and dimethyl terephthalate are preferable. Examples of the glycol component include ethylene glycol, butylene glycol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, and among these, ethylene glycol is preferable.
Further, the polyester may be a polyester using one kind of aromatic dicarboxylic acid or an ester-forming derivative thereof and one kind of alkylene glycol as a starting material, and is a copolymer containing two or more kinds of components. Also good. As the components to be copolymerized, in addition to the above, for example, diol components such as diethylene glycol, neopentyl glycol, polyalkylene glycol, dicarboxylic acid components such as adipic acid, sebacic acid, phthalic acid, isophthalic acid, trimellitic acid, pyromellitic An acid etc. are mentioned.

  As a method for obtaining the B layer of the film of the present invention, a method in which a copolymerized polyester and another polyester are blended and melt-kneaded is preferably used. The content of the copolymerized polyester in the present invention is 40 to 90% by weight, preferably 50 to 90% by weight, and more preferably 60 to 90% by weight. If it is less than 40% by weight, it is not preferable when pasted into a complicated three-dimensional shape because the moldability (familiarity) is poor and printing discoloration due to partial deformation spots tends to occur. On the other hand, if it exceeds 90% by weight, the stretchability is lowered even during film production, and it is not preferable because the thickness becomes thin and the film is easily broken.

  In the present invention, the storage elastic modulus E ′ in both the longitudinal and transverse directions of the film at 80 ° C. is 1500 MPa or less, preferably 1400 MPa or less. When the storage elastic modulus exceeds 1500 MPa, it is not preferable because moldability of a complicated three-dimensional shape is deteriorated at the time of pasting.

  In the present invention, the plane orientation degree ΔP of the film is 0.150 or less, and preferably 0.140 or less. When the degree of plane orientation ΔP exceeds 0.150, the three-dimensional moldability deteriorates during the laminating process as described above, which is not preferable.

  Further, in the present invention, the heat shrinkage (HS) after the heat treatment at 150 ° C. for 3 minutes is 4.0% or less in both the vertical and horizontal directions of the film. A film having a vertical or horizontal heat shrinkage ratio of more than 4.0% causes a large shrinkage of the film in the drying process during the printing process, and printing misalignment is likely to occur in multicolor printing. In addition, it may be difficult to ensure a predetermined finished width.

  In the present invention, it is also preferable to add particles in order to improve the slipperiness of the film. For example, in order to improve the slipperiness of the film, the polyester composition preferably contains organic and inorganic fine particles. If necessary, an ultraviolet absorber, a colorant, an antioxidant, a surfactant, Additives such as matting agents and antistatic agents may be further blended. The fine particles imparting slipperiness are roughly classified into external particles and internal particles according to the blending method. Examples of the former include kaolin, clay, various calcium carbonates, silicon oxide, calcium terephthalate, aluminum oxide such as α-, γ-, δ-, θ-, titanium oxide, calcium phosphate, lithium fluoride, carbon black, etc. Known inert external particles may be mentioned. Examples of the latter include high-melting-point organic compounds that are insoluble during melt film formation of polyester, monodispersed spherical organic particles, pulverized organic particles, cross-linked polymers, and metal compound catalysts used during polyester synthesis, such as alkali metal compounds, Examples thereof include internal particles formed inside the polymer by the alkaline earth metal compound during the production of the polyester. These fine particles usually have a content of 0.002 to 2.0% by weight with respect to the layer constituting the surface in the film, and an average particle size in the range of 0.001 to 3.5 μm. Is preferred.

  Further, the average roughness Ra of the film surface of the present invention can be appropriately adjusted according to the demand for film glossiness.

  Next, although the manufacturing method of the film of this invention is demonstrated concretely, as long as the structural requirements of this invention are satisfied, it is not limited only to the following illustrations.

A polyester composition obtained by blending appropriate amounts of organic and inorganic fine particles as a slipping agent into a chip is dried using a commonly used dryer or vacuum dryer such as a hopper dryer, paddle dryer or oven. In the former stage, the chips are crystallized so that mutual fusion does not occur (also referred to as preliminary crystallization), and in the latter stage, the moisture content is sufficiently reduced (also referred to as main drying). After drying in this way, it is extruded into sheets at 200-320 ° C.
At the time of extrusion, two or three or more polyester melt extruders can be used to form a laminated film of two layers or three or more layers by a so-called coextrusion method. The layer structure is an A / B structure using A and B materials, or an A / B / A structure, and an A / B / C structure using C materials or other film. Can do. For example, the surface shape of the A layer can be designed using specific particles as the A raw material, and a film having an A / B or A / B / A structure can be formed using a raw material not containing particles as the B raw material. In this case, since the raw material of B layer can be selected freely, a cost advantage etc. are large. Further, even if the recycled material of the film is blended with the B layer, the surface roughness can be designed by the surface A layer, so that the cost advantage is further increased. Next, the molten polymer is extruded from a die, and rapidly cooled and solidified on a rotary cooling drum so that the temperature is equal to or lower than the glass transition temperature to obtain a substantially amorphous unstretched sheet. In this case, in order to improve the flatness of the sheet, it is preferable to improve the adhesion between the sheet and the rotary cooling drum. In the present invention, an electrostatic application adhesion method and / or a liquid application adhesion method is preferably employed.

  In the present invention, the unstretched sheet thus obtained is stretched biaxially to form a film. Specifically describing the stretching conditions, the unstretched sheet is stretched 2 to 6 times at 70 to 145 ° C. in the longitudinal direction to form a longitudinal uniaxially stretched film, and then 2 to 6 at 90 to 160 ° C. in the lateral direction. The film is preferably stretched twice and subjected to heat treatment at 150 to 240 ° C. for 1 to 600 seconds. Further, at this time, it is preferable to relax 0.1 to 20% in the longitudinal direction and / or the transverse direction in the maximum temperature zone of the heat treatment and / or the cooling zone at the heat treatment outlet. Further, it is possible to add re-longitudinal stretching and re-lateral stretching as necessary.

  The thickness of the film of this invention is 10-200 micrometers normally, Preferably it is 25-150 micrometers.

  The film of the present invention is usually provided with a printing layer composed of a laminated processing layer structure, but the polyester film itself is generally inactive and therefore has poor adhesion. For this reason, it is necessary to provide the coating layer for the purpose of adhesion | attachment with a printing layer and a polyester base material.

  As a method for forming such a coating layer, a so-called in-line coating method in which coating is performed before the tenter entrance (before the transverse stretching step) and drying is performed in the tenter is preferable. Moreover, you may perform various coatings by offline coating after manufacture of a film as needed. Such a coat may be either single-sided or double-sided. The coating material may be either water-based or solvent-based for offline coating, but is preferably water-based or water-dispersed for in-line coating.

  The coating layer of the film of the present invention preferably comprises a combination of a crosslinking agent and various binder resins, and the binder resin is at least one selected from polyester, polyurethane and acrylic polymer from the viewpoint of adhesiveness. It is preferable to use two or more polymers in combination. Each of the above polymers may contain a derivative thereof. The derivative here refers to a polymer obtained by reacting a reactive compound with a copolymer or a functional group with another polymer. Polyvinylidene chloride, chlorinated polyolefin, etc. also form a tough film and show good adhesion to the topcoat, but these compounds contain chlorine, so they generate harmful dioxin compounds containing chlorine during combustion. This is possible and is not preferred in this respect. Further, when the scrap of the coated film is reused, there is a problem of coloring and generation of corrosive gas, which is not preferable in this respect.

  As the crosslinking agent resin, melamine-based, epoxy-based, and oxazoline-based resins are generally used, but melamine-based resins are particularly preferable from the viewpoints of coatability and durable adhesiveness. The melamine-based resin is not particularly limited, but a melamine, a methylolated melamine derivative obtained by condensing melamine and formaldehyde, a compound partially or completely etherified by reacting a methylolated melamine with a lower alcohol, and These blends can be used.

  The melamine-based resin may be either a monomer or a condensate composed of a dimer or higher multimer, or a blend thereof.

  As the lower alcohol used for the etherification, methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, n-butanol, isobutanol and the like can be preferably used. The functional group has an imino group, a methylol group, or an alkoxymethyl group such as a methoxymethyl group or a butoxymethyl group in one molecule. A methylated melamine resin, a fully alkyl type methylated melamine resin, or the like can be used. Of these, methylolated melamine resins are most preferred. Further, an acidic catalyst such as p-toluenesulfonic acid can be used to accelerate the thermal curing of the melamine-based crosslinking agent.

  The compounding quantity of the melamine resin in a coating agent is 1 to 50 weight% normally, Preferably it is the range of 5 to 30 weight%. When the blending amount of the crosslinker resin is less than 1% by weight, the durable adhesiveness is not sufficiently exhibited, and the effect of improving the solvent resistance tends to be insufficient. There is a risk that the good adhesion will not be demonstrated.

  In the present invention, it is preferable to contain inorganic particles or organic particles in the coating layer in order to further improve the slipperiness, adhesion and the like. The amount of the particles in the coating agent is usually 0.5 to 10% by weight, preferably 1 to 6% by weight. When the blending amount is less than 0.5% by weight, the blocking resistance may be insufficient. When the blending amount exceeds 10% by weight, the sharpness of the printed layer transferred to the molded product tends to decrease.

  Examples of the inorganic particles include silicon dioxide, alumina, zirconium oxide, kaolin, talc, calcium carbonate, titanium oxide, barium oxide, carbon black, molybdenum sulfide, and antimony oxide. Among these, silicon dioxide is easy to use because it is inexpensive and has various particle sizes.

  Examples of the organic particles include polystyrene or polyacrylate polymethacrylate in which a crosslinked structure is achieved by a compound containing two or more carbon-carbon double bonds in one molecule (for example, divinylbenzene).

  The inorganic particles and organic particles may be surface-treated. Examples of the surface treatment agent include a surfactant, a polymer as a dispersant, a silane coupling agent, a titanium coupling agent, and the like.

  The coating layer may contain an antistatic agent, an antifoaming agent, a coating property improving agent, a thickener, an antioxidant, an ultraviolet absorber, a foaming agent, a dye, a pigment, and the like.

  As long as water is the main medium, the coating agent may contain a small amount of an organic solvent for the purpose of improving dispersion in water or improving the film-forming performance. The organic solvent can be used as long as it dissolves in water. Examples of the organic solvent include aliphatic or alicyclic alcohols such as n-butyl alcohol, n-propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol and methyl alcohol, glycols such as propylene glycol, ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol, n-butyl cellosolve, Glycol derivatives such as ethyl cellosolve, methyl cellosolve, propylene glycol monomethyl ether, ethers such as dioxane and tetrahydrofuran, esters such as methyl acetate and amine acetate, ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone and acetone, amides such as N-methylpyrrolidone Can be mentioned. These organic solvents may be used in combination of two or more as required.

  As a coating method of the coating agent, for example, a reverse roll coater, a gravure coater, a rod coater, an air doctor coater, or a coating apparatus other than these as shown in Yuji Harasaki, Tsuji Shoten, published in 1979, “Coating Method” Can be used.

  The coating layer may be formed only on one side or on both sides. When formed only on one side, other characteristics can be imparted by forming a coating layer different from the above-mentioned coating layer on the opposite surface as necessary. In addition, in order to improve the applicability | paintability and adhesiveness to the film of a coating agent, you may give a chemical process and an electrical discharge process to a film before application | coating. Further, in order to further improve the surface characteristics, a discharge treatment may be performed after the coating layer is formed.

  The thickness of the coating layer is usually in the range of 0.02 to 0.5 μm, preferably 0.03 to 0.3 μm, as the final dry thickness. When the thickness of the coating layer is less than 0.02 μm, the effect of the present invention may not be sufficiently exhibited. When the thickness of the coating layer exceeds 0.5 μm, the films tend to stick to each other, and particularly when the coated film is re-stretched to increase the strength of the film, it adheres to the roll in the process. There is a tendency to become easy. The above problem of sticking appears particularly when the same coating layer is formed on both sides of the film.

The film of the present invention is necessary for the opposite surface (back surface) of the coating layer to give the above-mentioned adhesion from the viewpoint of preventing the occurrence of repelling and unevenness in the printing process due to charging, and preventing the risk of ignition due to the occurrence of sparks. Accordingly, it is preferable to form an antistatic coating layer. Moreover, in order to obtain effects such as improvement in handling property and prevention of dirt when used as a film for a cosmetic material, the surface specific resistance value is preferably in the range of 1 × 10 ⁶ to 1 × 10 ¹² Ω / □, The range is preferably 1 × 10 ⁷ to 1 × 10 ¹¹ Ω / □, and more preferably 1 × 10 ⁸ to 1 × 10 ¹⁰ Ω / □. When the surface specific resistance value exceeds 1 × 10 ¹² Ω / □, the above-described effect tends to be insufficient. On the other hand, when the surface specific resistance value is less than 1 × 10 ⁷ Ω / □, the effect is no longer saturated and no further improvement is observed, and a large amount of antistatic agent is required. The durability of the film is insufficient, the durability of the decorative film is insufficient, the use of special antistatic agents may adversely affect the color of the printed layer, and the color tone of the film itself may not be as desired. May occur.

  In the present invention, an antistatic agent is preferably contained in the coating layer provided on the surface of the film. An antistatic agent is a compound that absorbs static electricity when organic substances absorb moisture, and is a compound selected from nonionic, anionic, cationic, and amphoteric compounds. Nonionic antistatic agents include polyether compounds or derivatives thereof, and specific examples include polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, polyethylene glycol / polypropylene glycol block copolymers, polyoxyethylene diamine, polyether / polyester / A polyamide block copolymer corresponds to this. Examples of the anionic antistatic agent include compounds having sulfonic acid, carboxylic acid, phosphoric acid, boric acid and salts thereof. Of these, sulfonic acid antistatic agents are often used because of their strong antistatic properties and industrial availability. Examples thereof include polystyrene sulfonate, lithium polystyrene sulfonate, sodium polystyrene sulfonate, potassium polystyrene sulfonate, cesium polystyrene sulfonate, and ammonium polystyrene sulfonate. Of course, copolymers of other copolymerizable monomers with styrene sulfonic acid and its salts are also included. A low molecular weight sulfonic acid compound is also effective. Examples thereof include alkyl sulfonates and alkyl sulfates. For example, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, sodium α-olefin sulfonate, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium cetyl sulfate, sodium stearyl sulfate, sodium oleyl sulfate, and the like. Typical examples of the cationic antistatic agent include primary amine hydrochlorides, secondary amine hydrochlorides, tertiary amine hydrochlorides, and quaternary ammonium salts as low molecular weight compounds. Examples of amines used include monomethylamine, dimethylamine, trimethylamine, laurylamine, dilaurylamine, lauryldimethylamine, stearylamine, distearylamine, stearyldimethylamine, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, ethylenediamine, diethylenetriamine, N, N-diethylethylenediamine, aminoethylethanolamine, pyridine, morpholine, guanidine, hydrazine and the like can be mentioned. Examples of the quaternary ammonium salt include lauryltrimethylammonium chloride, lauryldimethylbenzylammonium chloride, cetylpyridinium chloride, cetylpyridinium bromide, stearamidemethylpyridinium chloride, lauryltrimethylammonium methosulfate, and the like. Examples of the polymeric cationic antistatic agent include a quaternary ammonium salt type styrene polymer, a quaternary ammonium salt type aminoalkyl (meth) acrylate polymer, a quaternary ammonium salt type diallylamine polymer, and the like. Specific examples include polyvinylbenzyltrimethylammonium chloride, quaternized polydimethylaminoethyl methacrylate, and polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride. Amphoteric antistatic agents include carboxylate-type amphoteric surfactants with amine salt-type cations, carboxylate-type amphoteric surfactants with quaternary ammonium salt-type cations (so-called betaine-type amphoteric surfactants) Is famous. For example, sodium laurylaminopropionate, lauryl dimethyl betaine, stearyl dimethyl betaine, lauryl dihydroxyethyl betaine, etc. are mentioned.

  Examples of the organic electron conductive compound include polyacetylene, poly (p-phenylene), polypyrrole, polythiophene, polyaniline, poly (arylene vinylene), and polyacene. These are conventionally expensive and usually have poor solubility in solvents. However, for example, a type that dissolves in water by introducing a sulfonic acid residue has been developed.

  Examples of the conductive fine particles include carbon black, metal fine powder, and metal oxide fine powder. For example, fine powders such as silver, copper and nickel, or fine powders such as antimony oxide and indium oxide.

  In the present invention, among these antistatic agents, cationic ones are preferably used. In the case of the cationic system, the antistatic effect of the coating layer provided on the surface of the film is particularly excellent in that it extends to the surface of the decorative sheet, and the effect is highly achieved.

  Among the cationic antistatic agents, in particular, in the application of the present invention, it is preferable to use a polymer having a pyrrolidinium ring in the main chain. Specific examples thereof include polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride, poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride / dimethylammonium chloride). / N-methylolacrylamide).

  The coating layer in the present invention is preferably provided by in-line coating. In-line coating is a method of coating within the process of producing a polyester film. Specifically, it is a method of coating at any stage from melt-extrusion of polyester to biaxial stretching, heat setting and winding. is there. Usually applied to either a substantially amorphous unstretched sheet obtained by melting and quenching, a uniaxially stretched film stretched in the longitudinal direction (longitudinal direction), or a biaxially stretched film before heat setting. To do. In these, the method of extending | stretching to a horizontal direction after apply | coating to a uniaxially stretched film is excellent. According to such a method, since film formation and coating / drying can be performed simultaneously, there is a merit in manufacturing cost, thin film coating is easy to perform stretching after coating, and heat treatment performed after coating is not limited. Since the high temperature is not achieved by this method, the coating film and the polyester film are firmly adhered.

  The thickness of a coating layer is 0.001-10 micrometers normally as thickness after drying, Preferably it is 0.010-5 micrometers, More preferably, it is 0.015-2 micrometers. When the thickness of the coating layer is less than 0.001 μm, the antistatic effect may not be sufficiently improved. When the thickness of the coating layer exceeds 10 μm, so-called blocking may occur in which the coating layer acts like an adhesive and the films wound up on the roll adhere to each other.
