Description

本発明は、環境変化、特に湿度変化に対して優れた寸法安定性を発現するポリエステルフィルムに関し、特にデジタルデータなどの高密度記録メディアのベースフィルムに適したポリエステルフィルムに関する。   The present invention relates to a polyester film that exhibits excellent dimensional stability against environmental changes, particularly humidity changes, and more particularly to a polyester film suitable for a base film for high-density recording media such as digital data.

ポリエステルフィルムは、優れた機械的特性、熱的特性および化学的特性とを有することから、各種用途に用いられており、特に寸法安定に優れることからデジタルビデオ用テープやコンピュータのバックアップ用テープ(以後、データテープという)など磁気記録媒体のベースフィルムとして用いられている。   Polyester film has excellent mechanical properties, thermal properties, and chemical properties, so it is used in various applications. Especially, it has excellent dimensional stability. Used as a base film for magnetic recording media.

このデータテープは、近年記録密度の高密度化が進み、トラックの幅が非常に狭くになってきている。その結果、データテープの走行または保存の間に生じるわずかな熱的・力学的寸法変化や、データを記録する際と読み取る際の温湿度環境の違いにより、データを読み取る磁気ヘッドとトラックの位置とがずれてしまい、データの再生不良を引き起こす問題点が生じてきた。従って、高密度記録に対応するデータテープには、湿度変化に対して高い寸法安定性が要求されている。特に記録方式がリニア記録方式のデータテープでは、データテープの幅方向により高い寸法安定性が要求されている。   In recent years, the recording density of this data tape has been increased, and the track width has become very narrow. As a result, due to slight thermal and mechanical dimensional changes that occur during the running or storage of data tape and the difference in temperature and humidity environment when recording and reading data, This causes a problem that causes data reproduction failure. Therefore, a data tape corresponding to high-density recording is required to have high dimensional stability against humidity changes. In particular, in a data tape in which the recording method is a linear recording method, higher dimensional stability is required in the width direction of the data tape.

このような、データテープのベースフィルムに用いるフィルムの素材としては、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(以下、PETと称することがある。)やポリエチレン−2,6−ナフタレンジカルボキシレート(以下、PENと称することがある。)が用いられてきた。しかし、高密度記録のデータテープに求められる寸法安定性の要求はますます厳しくなっており、それだけでは不十分となってきている。   Such a film material used for the base film of the data tape is sometimes referred to as polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter sometimes referred to as PET) or polyethylene-2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate (hereinafter referred to as PEN). .) Have been used. However, the demand for dimensional stability required for high-density recording data tapes is becoming stricter and it is not enough.

一方で、PETやPENのほかに、ポリエステル素材として、ポリトリメチレン−2,6−ナフタレンジカルボキシレート(以下、PTNと称することがある)が知られている。例えば、特許文献1では、PTNの配向フィルムを感熱孔版用途に用いることが提案されている。また、特許文献2および3では、PTNの配向フィルムが良好なガスバリア性および耐光性を持つことが提案されている。しかしながら、これら特許文献1〜3の実施例に具体的に開示されたフィルムを追試してみると、湿度膨張係数が従来のPETやPENと同等程度のものでしかなかった。   On the other hand, in addition to PET and PEN, polytrimethylene-2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate (hereinafter sometimes referred to as PTN) is known as a polyester material. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes to use an oriented film of PTN for heat-sensitive stencil applications. Patent Documents 2 and 3 propose that the oriented film of PTN has good gas barrier properties and light resistance. However, when the films specifically disclosed in the examples of Patent Documents 1 to 3 were reexamined, the humidity expansion coefficient was only comparable to that of conventional PET and PEN.

また、特許文献4では、2,6−ポリトリメチレンナフタレート、2,6−ポリテトラメチレンナフタレート、2,6−ポリペンタメチレンナフタレート、及び2,6−ポリヘキサメチレンナフタレートのいずれかからなるフィルムを磁気記録媒体のベースフィルムに用いることが提案されている。また、その実施例の湿度膨張係数を見ると、幅方向のヤング率が9GPaのPENを用いた場合が6.8ppm/%RHで、幅方向のヤング率を11GPaまで高めた2,6−ポリテトラメチレンナフタレートや2,6−ポリヘキサメチレンナフタレートを用いた場合が5.9〜6.4ppm/%RHとある。そして、ポリエステルフィルムの場合、その方向のヤング率が高いほど、分子鎖がその方向に揃っていて湿度膨張係数が低くなる傾向にあることを勘案すると、特許文献4の実施例からは、同程度のヤング率ならPENと、そのグリコール成分の炭素数を変更したものとでは湿度膨張係数はほとんど変わらないことが理解される。なお、特許文献4は、具体的に2,6−ポリトリメチレンナフタレートでの確認はされていない。   In Patent Document 4, any one of 2,6-polytrimethylene naphthalate, 2,6-polytetramethylene naphthalate, 2,6-polypentamethylene naphthalate, and 2,6-polyhexamethylene naphthalate is used. It has been proposed to use a film made of the above as a base film of a magnetic recording medium. Further, when the humidity expansion coefficient of the example is seen, it is 6.8 ppm /% RH in the case where PEN having a Young's modulus in the width direction of 9 GPa is used, and 2,6-poly which has increased the Young's modulus in the width direction to 11 GPa. The case where tetramethylene naphthalate or 2,6-polyhexamethylene naphthalate is used is 5.9 to 6.4 ppm /% RH. In the case of a polyester film, considering that the higher the Young's modulus in that direction, the molecular chains are aligned in that direction and the humidity expansion coefficient tends to be lower. It is understood that the coefficient of humidity expansion hardly changes between the PEN and the glycol component whose carbon number is changed. In addition, Patent Document 4 does not specifically confirm 2,6-polytrimethylene naphthalate.

本発明の課題は、PETやPENからなるフィルムに比べ、優れた湿度変化に対する寸法安定性と、PTNからなるフィルムに比べ、優れた機械的強度とを兼備するポリエステルフィルムを提供することにある。   The subject of this invention is providing the polyester film which combines the dimensional stability with respect to the humidity change which was excellent compared with the film which consists of PET and PEN, and the outstanding mechanical strength compared with the film which consists of PTN.

本発明者らは、上記課題を解決しようと鋭意研究した結果、PETやPENとほとんど湿度膨張係数について変わらないと思われていたポリトリメチレン−2,6−ナフタレンジカルボキシレートを、特許文献1−3に記載されたフィルムよりもさらに面内方向に高屈折率となる方向を有するフィルムとすると、驚くべきことにPETやPENに比べて極めて小さな湿度膨張係数を有するフィルムを得ることができ、しかも、PETやPENを特定の割合でブレンドすることで、湿度膨張係数を低くしつつヤング率などの機械的特性も向上できることを見出し、本発明に到達した。   As a result of diligent research to solve the above-mentioned problems, the inventors of the present invention disclosed polytrimethylene-2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate, which was considered to be almost the same as PET and PEN in terms of humidity expansion coefficient. If the film has a direction having a higher refractive index in the in-plane direction than the film described in -3, it is surprisingly possible to obtain a film having a very small humidity expansion coefficient compared to PET and PEN, In addition, by blending PET and PEN at a specific ratio, it was found that mechanical properties such as Young's modulus can be improved while lowering the coefficient of humidity expansion, and the present invention has been achieved.

かくして本発明によれば、ポリトリメチレン−2,6−ナフタレンジカルボキシレートからなる樹脂Aと、ポリエチレンテレフタレートまたはポリエチレン−2,6−ナフタレンジカルボキシレートからなる群より選ばれる樹脂Bとを、重量比(樹脂A:樹脂B)で4:6〜8:2の割合で含有する樹脂組成物からなる配向フィルムが提供される。   Thus, according to the present invention, the resin A composed of polytrimethylene-2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate and the resin B selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate or polyethylene-2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate are weighted. An oriented film comprising a resin composition contained in a ratio (resin A: resin B) in a ratio of 4: 6 to 8: 2 is provided.

また、本発明の配向フィルムの好ましい態様として、幅方向の湿度膨張係数が7.5ppm/%RH以下であること、磁気記録媒体のベースフィルムとして用いられることの少なくともいずれかを具備する配向フィルムも提供される。   Further, as a preferred embodiment of the oriented film of the present invention, there is also an oriented film having at least one of having a humidity expansion coefficient in the width direction of 7.5 ppm /% RH or less and being used as a base film of a magnetic recording medium. Provided.

従来のPETやPENからなるフィルムに比べ、ヤング率などの機械的特性を維持しつつ、より湿度膨張係数が低い方向を有する配向フィルムが得られる。したがって、本発明の配向フィルムを、例えば磁気記録媒体などのベースフィルムに用いれば、目的とする方向により湿度変化に対して優れた寸法安定性と実用に耐えうるヤング率などの機械的特性とを有するデータテープなどの製品を得ることができる。   Compared to a conventional film made of PET or PEN, an oriented film having a lower humidity expansion coefficient can be obtained while maintaining mechanical properties such as Young's modulus. Therefore, when the oriented film of the present invention is used for a base film such as a magnetic recording medium, for example, it has excellent dimensional stability against humidity change depending on the intended direction and mechanical properties such as Young's modulus that can withstand practical use. A product such as a data tape can be obtained.

本発明における樹脂AはPTNであり、このPTNとは、主たる芳香族ジカルボン酸成分が2,6−ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分で、主たるグリコール成分がトリメチレングリコール成分である芳香族ポリエステルである。もちろん、本発明の目的を損なわない範囲で、それ自体公知の共重合成分を共重合しても良い。なお、共重合する場合は、通常全酸性分のモル数を基準として、20モル%以下、更に10モル%以下が好ましい。   The resin A in the present invention is PTN, which is an aromatic polyester in which the main aromatic dicarboxylic acid component is a 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component and the main glycol component is a trimethylene glycol component. Of course, a copolymer component known per se may be copolymerized as long as the object of the present invention is not impaired. In the case of copolymerization, it is usually preferably 20 mol% or less, more preferably 10 mol% or less, based on the total number of moles of acidic components.

つぎに、本発明における樹脂Bは、ポリエチレンテレフタレートおよびポリエチレン−2,6−ナフタレンジカルボキシレートからなる群より選ばれた少なくとも1種の樹脂である。なお、本発明におけるPETとは、主たる芳香族ジカルボン酸成分がテレフタル酸成分で、主たるグリコール成分がエチレングリコール成分である芳香族ポリエステルである。また、本発明におけるPENとは、主たる芳香族ジカルボン酸成分が2,6−ナフタレンジカルボン酸成分で、主たるグリコール成分がエチレングリコール成分である芳香族ポリエステルである。もちろん、本発明の目的を損なわない範囲で、これらPETやPENは、それ自体公知の共重合成分を共重合しても良い。特に、6,6’−(エチレンジオキシ)ジ−2−ナフトエ酸成分などの6,6’−(アルキレンジオキシ)ジ−2−ナフトエ酸成分を共重合することは、さらに湿度膨張係数を低減しやすいことから好ましい態様である。なお、共重合する場合は、通常全酸成分のモル数を基準として、20モル%以下、更に10モル%以下が好ましい。   Next, the resin B in the present invention is at least one resin selected from the group consisting of polyethylene terephthalate and polyethylene-2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate. The PET in the present invention is an aromatic polyester in which the main aromatic dicarboxylic acid component is a terephthalic acid component and the main glycol component is an ethylene glycol component. Further, PEN in the present invention is an aromatic polyester in which the main aromatic dicarboxylic acid component is a 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid component and the main glycol component is an ethylene glycol component. Of course, as long as the object of the present invention is not impaired, these PET and PEN may be copolymerized with publicly known copolymer components. In particular, copolymerizing 6,6 ′-(alkylenedioxy) di-2-naphthoic acid component such as 6,6 ′-(ethylenedioxy) di-2-naphthoic acid component further increases the coefficient of humidity expansion. This is a preferred embodiment because it can be easily reduced. In the case of copolymerization, it is usually preferably 20 mol% or less, more preferably 10 mol% or less, based on the number of moles of all acid components.

本発明における樹脂Aおよび樹脂Bの固有粘度(I.V.)の好ましい範囲は、0.5〜1.5dl/g、さらに0.55〜1.4dl/gである。この下限より下回るI.V.では、フィルム製膜において結晶化が問題になり、均一な延伸が困難になる。またこの上限を上回るI.V.では、高分子鎖の絡み合いにより延伸時の応力が大きすぎて、均一な延伸が困難になる。このような好ましい範囲のI.V.を有するPTNは、溶融重合や固相重合法によるI.V.調整によって合成可能となる。   The preferable range of the intrinsic viscosity (IV) of Resin A and Resin B in the present invention is 0.5 to 1.5 dl / g, and more preferably 0.55 to 1.4 dl / g. I. below this lower limit. V. Then, crystallization becomes a problem in film formation, and uniform stretching becomes difficult. In addition, I. V. Then, due to the entanglement of polymer chains, the stress during stretching is too large, and uniform stretching becomes difficult. Such a preferred range of I.V. V. A PTN having an I.V. V. It can be synthesized by adjustment.

ところで、本発明の配向フィルムの特徴は、前述の樹脂Aと樹脂Bとを、重量比(樹脂A:樹脂B)4:6〜8:2の範囲でブレンドし、樹脂組成物の状態で用いたことにある。樹脂Aの割合が下限未満だと、湿度膨張係数の低減効果が乏しくなり、他方樹脂Bの割合が下限未満だと、ヤング率などの機械的特性が低下しやすくなる。好ましい重量比(樹脂A:樹脂B)は、5:5〜7.9:2.1、さらに6:4〜7.8:2.2の範囲である。   By the way, the feature of the oriented film of the present invention is that the above-mentioned resin A and resin B are blended in a weight ratio (resin A: resin B) in the range of 4: 6 to 8: 2, and used in a resin composition state. There is that. When the ratio of the resin A is less than the lower limit, the effect of reducing the humidity expansion coefficient is poor, and when the ratio of the resin B is less than the lower limit, mechanical characteristics such as Young's modulus are likely to be lowered. A preferred weight ratio (resin A: resin B) is in the range of 5: 5 to 7.9: 2.1, and further 6: 4 to 7.8: 2.2.

ところで、本発明の配向フィルムは、フィルムの製膜方向または幅方向の屈折率が1.74以上であることが好ましい。もちろん、製膜方向と幅方向の両方向が、屈折率1.74以上であっても良いし、それは好ましい態様である。屈折率の好ましい範囲は、1.74〜1.85、さらに1.75〜1.80、特に好ましくは1.76〜1.80の範囲である。このように極めて高度に分子鎖が配向された方向を存在させることで、フィルムの当該方向における湿度膨張係数を極めて低くできる。製膜方向および幅方向のいずれの方向も、屈折率が上記下限値よりも低い場合、従来のPETやPENと同程度の高い湿度膨張係数を有するフィルムしか得られず、本発明の湿度膨張係数の低減効果が奏されない。なお、製膜方向または幅方向の屈折率の上限は、使用する用途に適した湿度膨張係数になるように適宜設定すればよい。ただ、あまりにも屈折率を大きくすると、湿度膨張係数が負の値、すなわち収縮が過度に大きくなったり、製膜時にそれだけ高い延伸倍率で延伸することが必要になって、製膜が難しくなることから、1.85以下であることが好ましい。もちろん、成形品としての湿度膨張係数が小さければよく、例えば湿度膨張係数の大きな層と貼り合せるような場合は、貼り合せた状態で湿度膨張係数が小さくなるように、本発明の配向フィルムは、その屈折率の最大値を1.85以上にしてもよい。   By the way, the oriented film of the present invention preferably has a refractive index of 1.74 or more in the film forming direction or the width direction of the film. Of course, both the film forming direction and the width direction may have a refractive index of 1.74 or more, which is a preferable mode. A preferable range of the refractive index is 1.74 to 1.85, further 1.75 to 1.80, and particularly preferably 1.76 to 1.80. Thus, the presence of a direction in which molecular chains are extremely highly oriented makes it possible to extremely reduce the humidity expansion coefficient in the direction of the film. When the refractive index is lower than the lower limit in both the film forming direction and the width direction, only a film having a high humidity expansion coefficient comparable to that of conventional PET or PEN can be obtained, and the humidity expansion coefficient of the present invention is obtained. The reduction effect is not achieved. The upper limit of the refractive index in the film forming direction or the width direction may be appropriately set so as to have a humidity expansion coefficient suitable for the intended use. However, if the refractive index is increased too much, the humidity expansion coefficient is negative, that is, the shrinkage becomes excessively large, and it is necessary to stretch at a higher draw ratio at the time of film formation, which makes film formation difficult. Therefore, it is preferably 1.85 or less. Of course, it is sufficient that the humidity expansion coefficient as a molded product is small.For example, in the case where it is bonded to a layer having a large humidity expansion coefficient, the oriented film of the present invention has a low coefficient of humidity expansion in the bonded state. The maximum value of the refractive index may be 1.85 or more.

また、本発明の配向フィルムは、データテープなどテープ状で用いる場合は、テープの長手方向に進行させながら用いることが多く、前述の屈折率が1.74以上である方向は幅方向であることが好ましい。特にデータトラックを幅方向に非常に狭い間隔で並べるリニア記録方式のデータテープの場合、少なくとも幅方向の屈折率が1.74以上であることが好ましい。   In addition, when the oriented film of the present invention is used in the form of a tape such as a data tape, it is often used while being advanced in the longitudinal direction of the tape, and the direction in which the refractive index is 1.74 or more is the width direction. Is preferred. In particular, in the case of a linear recording type data tape in which data tracks are arranged at very narrow intervals in the width direction, it is preferable that at least the refractive index in the width direction is 1.74 or more.

そういった観点から、本発明の配向フィルムは、幅方向の湿度膨張係数が7.5ppm/%RH以下であることが好ましく、さらに0ppm/%RH以上7.5ppm/%RH以下の範囲にあることが、製膜性と湿度変化に対する高度な寸法安定性とを得られることから好ましい。なお、前述のとおり、湿度膨張係数は、その方向の分子鎖の配向を高めるような延伸条件を採用することで、小さくすることができる。具体的には、その方向の延伸倍率を高めたり、より分子鎖が配向しやすいような温度条件を採用すればよい。   From such a point of view, the oriented film of the present invention preferably has a humidity expansion coefficient in the width direction of 7.5 ppm /% RH or less, and more preferably in the range of 0 ppm /% RH to 7.5 ppm /% RH. The film forming property and the high dimensional stability against humidity change are preferable. As described above, the humidity expansion coefficient can be reduced by adopting stretching conditions that enhance the orientation of molecular chains in that direction. Specifically, a temperature condition that increases the stretching ratio in that direction or that facilitates the orientation of molecular chains may be employed.

ところで、湿度膨張係数は、樹脂Aと樹脂Bをブレンドする割合によっても変化する。そのような観点から、樹脂A:樹脂Bが4:6〜4.9:5.1ときは、屈折率1.74以上の方向の湿度膨張係数が7.5ppm/%RH以下であることが好ましく、樹脂A:樹脂Bが5.5〜6.5:3.5のときは、屈折率1.74以上の方向の湿度膨張係数が6ppm/%RH以下であることが好ましく、樹脂A:樹脂Bが6.6:3.4〜8:2のときは、湿度膨張係数が5ppm/%RH以下であることが好ましい。特に、湿度膨張係数が6ppm/%RH以下から0ppm/%RH以上、さらに5.2ppm/%RH以下から0ppm/%RH以上といった特性を有する場合、磁気記録媒体のベースフィルムに好適に用いることができ、特にその方向が幅方向である場合、トラックズレなどの幅方向における寸法変化の抑制が求められるリニア記録方式の磁気記録媒体支持体に好適に用いることができる。   By the way, a humidity expansion coefficient changes also with the ratio which blends resin A and resin B. FIG. From such a viewpoint, when the resin A: resin B is 4: 6 to 4.9: 5.1, the humidity expansion coefficient in the direction with a refractive index of 1.74 or more may be 7.5 ppm /% RH or less. Preferably, when the resin A: resin B is 5.5 to 6.5: 3.5, the humidity expansion coefficient in the direction with a refractive index of 1.74 or more is preferably 6 ppm /% RH or less, and the resin A: When the resin B is 6.6: 3.4 to 8: 2, the humidity expansion coefficient is preferably 5 ppm /% RH or less. In particular, when the coefficient of humidity expansion is from 6 ppm /% RH or less to 0 ppm /% RH or more, and further from 5.2 ppm /% RH or less to 0 ppm /% RH or more, it is preferably used for a base film of a magnetic recording medium. In particular, when the direction is the width direction, it can be suitably used for a linear recording type magnetic recording medium support in which suppression of dimensional change in the width direction such as track deviation is required.

本発明の配向フィルムは、それ自体で単層フィルムとして用いてもよいし、さらに別のフィルム層と積層した積層配向フィルムとして用いても良い。すなわち、少なくとも1つの層として、本発明の配向フィルムを有していれば良い。   The oriented film of the present invention may be used as a single-layer film by itself or as a laminated oriented film laminated with another film layer. That is, it is only necessary to have the oriented film of the present invention as at least one layer.

また、本発明の配向フィルムは、本発明の効果を損なわない範囲、例えば配向フィルムの重量を基準として、20重量%以下、さらに10重量%以下の範囲で、樹脂組成物に、それ自体公知の機能剤や他の樹脂を含有させて組成物として用いたものでも良い。具体的な機能剤としては、他の熱可塑性ポリマー、紫外線吸収剤等の安定剤、酸化防止剤、可塑剤、滑剤(ワックスや不活性粒子など)、難燃剤、離型剤、顔料、核剤、充填剤あるいはガラス繊維、炭素繊維、層状ケイ酸塩などが挙げられ、他の熱可塑性ポリマーとしては、脂肪族ポリエステル系樹脂、ポリアミド系樹脂、ポリカーボネート、ABS樹脂、ポリメチルメタクリレート、ポリアミド系エラストマー、ポリエステル系エラストマー、ポリエーテルイミド、ポリイミドなどが挙げられる。特に、磁気記録媒体支持体として使用されてきたPENに比べ、PTNはガラス転移温度(以下Tgと称する場合がある)が低くなりやすいので、例えばポリエーテルイミドなどガラス転移温度を高められるような成分を共重合したり、ブレンドすることは好ましい態様である。   Further, the oriented film of the present invention is known per se to the resin composition in a range not impairing the effects of the present invention, for example, in a range of 20% by weight or less, further 10% by weight or less based on the weight of the oriented film. It may be used as a composition containing a functional agent or other resin. Specific functional agents include other thermoplastic polymers, stabilizers such as UV absorbers, antioxidants, plasticizers, lubricants (such as waxes and inert particles), flame retardants, mold release agents, pigments, and nucleating agents. , Fillers or glass fibers, carbon fibers, layered silicates, etc., and other thermoplastic polymers include aliphatic polyester resins, polyamide resins, polycarbonates, ABS resins, polymethyl methacrylates, polyamide elastomers, Examples thereof include polyester elastomers, polyether imides, polyimides and the like. In particular, since PTN tends to have a low glass transition temperature (hereinafter sometimes referred to as Tg) as compared with PEN that has been used as a magnetic recording medium support, for example, a component that can increase the glass transition temperature, such as polyetherimide. Copolymerizing or blending is a preferred embodiment.

つぎに、本発明の配向フィルムの好ましい態様について、さらに詳述する。
本発明における樹脂組成物は、DSCで測定したガラス転移温度が、70℃以上、さらに75℃以上であることが、耐熱性や寸法安定性の点から好ましい。このようなガラス転移温度は、ガラス転移温度を下げるような成分の割合を制御することで調整できる。一方、ガラス転移温度の上限については、特に制限されないが、製膜性の点から、150℃以下、さらに130℃以下が好ましい。なお、通常副生物の少ないホモのPTNであれば、ガラス転移温度は90℃程度であり、よりガラス転移温度の高いものとするには、前述のようにポリエーテルイミドなど、Tgをあげる目的でそれ自体公知の他の共重合成分を共重合したり、ブレンドしても良い。
Next, a preferred embodiment of the oriented film of the present invention will be further described in detail.
The resin composition in the present invention preferably has a glass transition temperature measured by DSC of 70 ° C. or higher, more preferably 75 ° C. or higher from the viewpoint of heat resistance and dimensional stability. Such a glass transition temperature can be adjusted by controlling the ratio of components that lower the glass transition temperature. On the other hand, the upper limit of the glass transition temperature is not particularly limited, but is preferably 150 ° C. or lower and more preferably 130 ° C. or lower from the viewpoint of film forming property. In addition, in the case of homo PTN with usually few by-products, the glass transition temperature is about 90 ° C. For higher glass transition temperature, as described above, for the purpose of increasing Tg such as polyetherimide. Other copolymer components known per se may be copolymerized or blended.

また、本発明における樹脂組成物は、DSCで測定した融点が、190〜230℃の範囲、さらに190〜225℃の範囲、特に195〜225℃の範囲にあることが製膜性の点から好ましい。融点が上記上限を越えると、溶融押出して成形する際に、流動性が劣り、吐出などが不均一化しやすくなるため生産性は悪化する。一方で、上記下限未満になると、製膜性は優れるものの、芳香族ポリエステルの持つ機械的特性などは損なわれやすくなる。   In addition, the resin composition in the present invention preferably has a melting point measured by DSC in the range of 190 to 230 ° C., more preferably in the range of 190 to 225 ° C., particularly in the range of 195 to 225 ° C. from the viewpoint of film forming properties. . When the melting point exceeds the above upper limit, when melt extrusion is performed, the fluidity is inferior, and the discharge tends to be non-uniform, so that the productivity is deteriorated. On the other hand, when it is less than the above lower limit, although the film-forming property is excellent, the mechanical properties and the like of the aromatic polyester are easily impaired.

つづいて、本発明の配向フィルムの製造方法の一例について、説明する。
まず、本発明の配向フィルムを製造するためのPTN、PET、PENは、それ自体公知の方法で製造できる。具体的には、PTNの場合、2,6−ナフタレンジカルボン酸もしくはその低級アルキルエステルとトリメチレングリコールとを、エステル化反応もしくはエステル交換反応させて、さらに所望の固有粘度になるまで重縮合反応させればよい。この際、エステル化反応、エステル交換反応または重縮合反応の反応速度を高めるために、それ自体公知の触媒を好適に使用できる。
このようにして得られたPTN、PET、PENを溶融状態で所望の割合にブレンドしてダイからシート状に回転している冷却ドラム上に押出し、未延伸シートを作成する。
It continues and demonstrates an example of the manufacturing method of the oriented film of this invention.
First, PTN, PET, and PEN for producing the oriented film of the present invention can be produced by a method known per se. Specifically, in the case of PTN, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid or its lower alkyl ester and trimethylene glycol are subjected to an esterification reaction or a transesterification reaction, and a polycondensation reaction is performed until a desired intrinsic viscosity is obtained. Just do it. In this case, a catalyst known per se can be suitably used in order to increase the reaction rate of the esterification reaction, transesterification reaction or polycondensation reaction.
The PTN, PET, and PEN thus obtained are blended at a desired ratio in a molten state and extruded from a die onto a cooling drum that is rotating into a sheet shape, thereby producing an unstretched sheet.

このようにして得られた未延伸シートを、樹脂組成物のガラス転移温度(Tg)以上からTg+30℃以下の範囲で、製膜方向または幅方向に3.0倍以上延伸すればよい。なお、屈折率が1.74以上の方向を発現させるための延伸条件は、その方向の延伸倍率のほかに、延伸温度や延伸方向と直交する方向の延伸条件などが影響する。例えば、一方向にしか延伸処理を行わない一軸配向フィルムの場合は、Tg+20℃で延伸する場合は、延伸倍率を2.5倍以上にすることで屈折率1.74以上とすることができ、より延伸倍率を高めたり、延伸温度を低くすることで、より屈折率を高くできる。また、直交する2方向に延伸する場合、例えばフィルムの製膜方向に延伸倍率1.5倍で延伸し、幅方向の屈折率を1.74以上にしたいときは、幅方向の延伸倍率を4.2倍以上にすることが望ましい。なお、詳細な延伸条件は、実際に目的とする屈折率およびその方向が決まれば、それに応じてその方向により高い延伸倍率の条件で延伸をして、目的とする屈折率に足らなければ、その方向の延伸倍率を高めたり、延伸温度を低くすること、またはそれと直交する方向の延伸倍率を低くしたり、延伸温度を低くするなどして、調整すればよい。   The unstretched sheet thus obtained may be stretched 3.0 times or more in the film forming direction or the width direction in the range from the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the resin composition to Tg + 30 ° C. or less. The stretching conditions for expressing the direction having a refractive index of 1.74 or more are affected by the stretching temperature, the stretching conditions in the direction orthogonal to the stretching direction, and the like in addition to the stretching ratio in that direction. For example, in the case of a uniaxially oriented film that is stretched only in one direction, when stretched at Tg + 20 ° C., the refractive index can be set to 1.74 or more by increasing the stretch ratio to 2.5 times or more. The refractive index can be further increased by increasing the stretching ratio or decreasing the stretching temperature. Also, when stretching in two orthogonal directions, for example, when stretching in the film forming direction at a stretch ratio of 1.5 times and a refractive index in the width direction of 1.74 or more is desired, the stretch ratio in the width direction is set to 4 It is desirable to make it twice or more. In addition, if the detailed refractive conditions are actually determined as the target refractive index and its direction, the film is stretched under the conditions of a higher draw ratio in the direction accordingly, and if the target refractive index is not sufficient, Adjustment may be made by increasing the stretching ratio in the direction, decreasing the stretching temperature, decreasing the stretching ratio in the direction orthogonal thereto, or decreasing the stretching temperature.

もちろん、本発明の配向フィルムは、上述のような延伸工程を経た後、弛緩、定長もしくは緊張化で、150〜180℃の温度で熱固定処理を行うことが、その後の寸法安定性をより高められることから好ましい。
なお、前述の説明は、単層フィルムについて説明したが、積層フィルムの場合は、それ自体公知の共押出や貼り合せなどによって積層フィルムとすればよい。
Of course, the oriented film of the present invention is subjected to a heat fixing treatment at a temperature of 150 to 180 ° C. by relaxation, constant length or tension after passing through the stretching process as described above. It is preferable because it is enhanced.
In addition, although the above-mentioned description demonstrated the single layer film, in the case of a laminated | multilayer film, what is necessary is just to make it into a laminated | multilayer film by co-extrusion or bonding known per se.

このようにして得られた本発明の配向フィルムは、目的とする方向の湿度膨張係数を極めて低いものとすることができ、例えば幅方向の屈折率を1.74以上にしてリニア記録方式のデータテープのベースフィルムに用いれば、磁気ヘッドとの湿度変化による幅方向のトラックの位置がずれる、いわゆるトラックズレによるエラーが極めて低いデータテープとすることができる。   The oriented film of the present invention thus obtained can have a very low humidity expansion coefficient in the intended direction. For example, the linear recording type data with a refractive index in the width direction of 1.74 or more. When used as a base film of a tape, a data tape can be obtained in which an error due to a so-called track shift, in which a track position in the width direction is shifted due to a change in humidity with the magnetic head, is extremely low.

なお、このようなデータテープは、本発明の配向フィルムの一方の面に、磁性層を形成するための磁性層用塗液を塗布および乾燥することで製造できる。もちろん、必要に応じて、ベースフィルムと磁性層との間に、磁性層の厚みを薄くするための非磁性層を形成したり、磁性層を形成しない側に、データテープとしたときの走行性を向上させるためのバックコート層を形成しても良い。   In addition, such a data tape can be manufactured by apply | coating and drying the coating liquid for magnetic layers for forming a magnetic layer in one side of the oriented film of this invention. Of course, if necessary, a non-magnetic layer for reducing the thickness of the magnetic layer is formed between the base film and the magnetic layer, or the running property when a data tape is formed on the side where the magnetic layer is not formed. A back coat layer may be formed to improve the resistance.
