Description
本発明は二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムに関し、さらに詳しくは一定温度以上で二軸方向に熱収縮性を有する二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムに関する。 The present invention relates to a biaxially oriented polyester film, and more particularly to a biaxially oriented polyester film having heat shrinkability in a biaxial direction at a certain temperature or higher.
従来より、被覆や結束、外装などの包装用途にはポリスチレン系やポリエステル系を主成分とする熱収縮性フィルムを用いたシュリンクチューブが用いられている（特許文献１など）。
前記熱収縮性フィルムは延伸によって主として一方向に熱収縮性が付与されており、例えばラベル用途に使用する際には、図柄などを印刷した後、適当な大きさに裁断し、この裁断フィルムの両側部を重ね合わせてシールすることにより、チューブ状に加工している。
このチューブはさらに裁断することにより、容器に装着可能な筒状ラベル、袋状ラベルなどの開口部を有する形状に加工することができる。これら筒状ラベルや袋状ラベルは、容器に装着した後、ベルトコンベアーなどに乗せて加熱用トンネル（スチームトンネル、熱風トンネル）などを通過させ、熱収縮させることにより容器に密着させている。
Conventionally, shrink tubes using a heat-shrinkable film mainly composed of polystyrene or polyester are used for packaging applications such as covering, binding, and exterior (Patent Document 1, etc.).
The heat-shrinkable film is imparted with heat-shrinkability mainly in one direction by stretching. For example, when used for a label application, after printing a pattern or the like, the film is cut into an appropriate size. It is processed into a tube by overlapping and sealing both sides.
The tube can be further cut into a shape having an opening such as a cylindrical label or a bag-like label that can be attached to the container. These cylindrical labels and bag-like labels are attached to a container, and then placed on a belt conveyor or the like, passed through a heating tunnel (steam tunnel, hot air tunnel), and the like, and are brought into close contact with the container by heat shrinking.
また、モーター絶縁コイルなどの高温にさらされる物体の包装用途として、より耐熱性が高いポリマー素材であるポリエチレンナフタレート（以後、ＰＥＮと称することがある）を用いた縦横方向ともに熱収縮率の高い熱収縮性フィルムが検討されている（特許文献２など）。
しかしながら、ＰＥＮフィルムのガラス転移点は約１２０℃であり、従来のポリエチレンテレフタレート（以後、ＰＥＴと称することがある）等のガラス転移点が約８０℃であるのに対して約４０℃ほど高く、耐熱性に優れている反面、より高温で加熱処理をしないとフィルムに収縮性を付与できないという課題を有する。
Also, as a packaging application for objects exposed to high temperatures such as motor insulation coils, heat shrinkage is high in both the vertical and horizontal directions using polyethylene naphthalate (hereinafter sometimes referred to as PEN), which is a polymer material with higher heat resistance. A heat-shrinkable film has been studied (for example, Patent Document 2).
However, the glass transition point of the PEN film is about 120 ° C., which is about 40 ° C. higher than the glass transition point of conventional polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter sometimes referred to as PET), which is about 80 ° C. Although it is excellent in heat resistance, it has the subject that shrinkage | contraction property cannot be provided to a film, unless it heat-processes at higher temperature.
さらに、熱収縮性フィルムを用いたシュリンクチューブで収縮包装させる工程は、できるだけ短時間で行われる方が生産効率の面から好ましい。そのため、熱収縮性フィルムに対して短時間でかつ均一に収縮することが望まれている。 Furthermore, it is preferable from the viewpoint of production efficiency that the step of shrink-wrapping with a shrink tube using a heat-shrinkable film is performed in as short a time as possible. Therefore, it is desired that the heat-shrinkable film shrinks uniformly in a short time.
一般的に高分子フィルムの収縮開始温度はガラス転移点付近であり、短時間で十分な収縮特性を得ようとした場合、ガラス転移点より６０℃程度高い温度で収縮をさせることが求められている。例えば、特許文献２にはポリエチレンナフタレートを用いた熱収縮性フィルムを１８０℃の高温で収縮させることが開示されており、さらにその実施例には１５５℃でも熱収縮率の高い熱収縮性フィルムが開示されている。しかしながら、かかる熱収縮特性の熱収縮性フィルムを用いて高温度でシュリンクチューブを収縮させた場合、収縮時に収縮斑やシワなどの外観不良が発生してしまい、美麗な外観を安定して得ることが難しく、歩留まりが低下することがあった。 Generally, the shrinkage start temperature of a polymer film is in the vicinity of the glass transition point, and when trying to obtain sufficient shrinkage characteristics in a short time, it is required to shrink at a temperature about 60 ° C. higher than the glass transition point. Yes. For example, Patent Document 2 discloses that a heat-shrinkable film using polyethylene naphthalate is shrunk at a high temperature of 180 ° C., and in that example, a heat-shrinkable film having a high heat shrinkage rate even at 155 ° C. Is disclosed. However, when shrinking a shrink tube at a high temperature using a heat-shrinkable film with such heat-shrink characteristics, appearance defects such as shrinkage spots and wrinkles will occur during shrinkage, and a beautiful appearance can be stably obtained. Is difficult, and the yield may decrease.
本発明は、かかる従来技術の問題点を解消し、耐熱性が高く、さらに二軸方向において熱収縮加工時に収縮斑やシワなどの外観不良のない、美麗な外観が得られる高収縮性二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムを提供することにある。 The present invention eliminates the problems of the prior art, has high heat resistance, and has a high shrinkability biaxial that provides a beautiful appearance with no appearance defects such as shrinkage spots and wrinkles when heat shrinking in the biaxial direction. The object is to provide an oriented polyester film.
本発明者らは、前記課題を解決するために鋭意検討した結果、耐熱性の高いポリエチレンナフタレートを用い、かかる樹脂を用いたときの熱収縮加工温度にあたる１８０℃辺りの温度では短時間に二軸方向ともに均一に収縮させる一方、熱収縮加工温度に到達するまでは低い熱収縮率でフィルム形状を保持できる熱収縮特性を有するポリエステルフィルムによって、二軸方向ともに熱収縮しながら収縮斑やシワなどの外観不良のない、美麗な外観の熱収縮加工が可能となることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。 As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have used polyethylene naphthalate having high heat resistance, and at a temperature around 180 ° C. corresponding to the heat shrinkage processing temperature when such a resin is used, the present inventors have not been able to do so in a short time. While shrinking uniformly in the axial direction, the polyester film has a heat shrinking property that can maintain the film shape with a low heat shrinkage rate until reaching the heat shrinking processing temperature.

When the intrinsic viscosity of polyethylene naphthalate before film formation is within such a range, a film having an intrinsic viscosity described later can be obtained.

本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムは、フィルム縦方向（以下、フィルム連続製膜方向、長手方向、ＭＤ方向と称することがある）および横方向（以下、幅方向、ＴＤ方向と称することがある）に二軸延伸して得られた二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムである。二軸配向されていることにより、ヤング率特性などの機械特性が高く、耐熱性の高いフィルムが得られる。 The biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention has a film longitudinal direction (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a film continuous film-forming direction, a longitudinal direction, and an MD direction) and a lateral direction (hereinafter sometimes referred to as a width direction and a TD direction). Is a biaxially oriented polyester film obtained by biaxial stretching. By being biaxially oriented, a film having high mechanical properties such as Young's modulus and high heat resistance can be obtained.
さらに本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムには、製膜時のフィルムの巻取り性や、フィルムの搬送性等を良くするため、必要に応じて有機または無機の粒子を滑剤として含有してもよい。かかる粒子として、炭酸カルシウム、酸化カルシウム、酸化アルミニウム、カオリン、酸化珪素、酸化亜鉛、架橋アクリル樹脂粒子、架橋ポリスチレン樹脂粒子、尿素樹脂粒子、メラミン樹脂粒子、架橋シリコーン樹脂粒子が例示される。また、意匠性の観点から、白色や黒色、また他の色に着色してもよい。 Furthermore, the biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention may contain organic or inorganic particles as a lubricant as necessary in order to improve film winding property during film formation, film transportability, and the like. .

［フィルム固有粘度］
本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムの固有粘度の下限値は０．４５ｄｌ／ｇ以上であることが好ましく、さらに好ましくはさらに０．４８ｄｌ／ｇである。また本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムの固有粘度の上限値は０．９０ｄｌ／ｇであることが好ましく、さらに好ましくは０．８５ｄｌ／ｇである。
[Intrinsic viscosity of film]
The lower limit of the intrinsic viscosity of the biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention is preferably 0.45 dl / g or more, more preferably 0.48 dl / g. The upper limit of the intrinsic viscosity of the biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention is preferably 0.90 dl / g, more preferably 0.85 dl / g.
二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムの固有粘度が下限値に満たない場合は機械的強度などが低下し、熱収縮加工を施して得られた成形品が実用上十分な強度を保持できないことがある。一方、二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムの固有粘度が上限値を超えて高くなると、溶融押出が困難になり、また重合時間が長くなることがある。かかるフィルムの固有粘度は、ポリマーと同じ測定方法を用いて求められる。 When the intrinsic viscosity of the biaxially oriented polyester film is less than the lower limit, the mechanical strength and the like are lowered, and the molded product obtained by performing the heat shrinking process may not have a practically sufficient strength. On the other hand, when the intrinsic viscosity of the biaxially oriented polyester film exceeds the upper limit, melt extrusion becomes difficult and the polymerization time may be long. The intrinsic viscosity of such a film is determined using the same measurement method as the polymer.
［フィルム厚み］
本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムの厚みは２５μｍ以上２００μｍ以下であることが好ましく、用途に応じてさらに好ましいフィルム厚みを選択できる。フィルム厚みが下限値未満になると、フィルムの強度が十分でなく剛性が低いため、取り扱い性に乏しくなることがある。またフィルム厚みが上限値を超えるとフィルムの剛性が強く、取扱い時にごわつくなど効率性が低下することがある。
[Film thickness]
The thickness of the biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention is preferably 25 μm or more and 200 μm or less, and a more preferable film thickness can be selected depending on the application. If the film thickness is less than the lower limit value, the strength of the film is not sufficient and the rigidity is low, so the handleability may be poor. On the other hand, when the film thickness exceeds the upper limit value, the rigidity of the film is strong, and the efficiency may be lowered, such as being stiff during handling.
［熱収縮率］
本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムは、１８０℃、３０分間熱処理したときの熱収縮率が縦方向および横方向ともに８％以上であって、かつ１５５℃、３０分間熱処理したときの熱収縮率が縦方向および横方向ともに５％以下である。本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムは、ポリエチレンナフタレートの熱収縮加工温度にあたる１８０℃では縦方向、横方向ともに大きな熱収縮性を示す一方、ポリエチレンナフタレートのガラス転移点から加工温度に至る１５５℃では縦方向、横方向ともに熱収縮率が低く、耐熱寸法安定性が高いことを特徴としている。本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムがかかる熱収縮率特性を有することにより、フィルムに熱収縮加工を施す際に、熱収縮加工温度に到達するまでは低い熱収縮率でフィルム形状を保持し、熱収縮加工温度で短時間に均一に収縮させることが可能となり、収縮斑やシワなどの外観不良のない、美麗な外観の熱収縮加工を行うことができる。
[Heat shrinkage]
The biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention has a heat shrinkage rate of 8% or more in both the vertical direction and the horizontal direction when heat-treated at 180 ° C. for 30 minutes, and the heat shrinkage rate when heat-treated at 155 ° C. for 30 minutes. It is 5% or less in both the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. The biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention exhibits large heat shrinkability in both the machine direction and the transverse direction at 180 ° C., which is the heat shrinkage processing temperature of polyethylene naphthalate, while it reaches 155 ° C. from the glass transition point of polyethylene naphthalate to the processing temperature. Is characterized by low heat shrinkage in both the vertical and horizontal directions and high heat-resistant dimensional stability. When the biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention has such heat shrinkage characteristics, when the film is subjected to heat shrinkage processing, the film shape is maintained at a low heat shrinkage rate until reaching the heat shrinkage processing temperature. It is possible to uniformly shrink in a short time at the shrinking processing temperature, and it is possible to perform a heat shrinking process with a beautiful appearance without appearance defects such as shrinkage spots and wrinkles.
二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムを１８０℃で３０分間熱処理したときの熱収縮率は、縦方向および横方向ともに８％以上であり、さらに好ましくは１０％以上である。１８０℃での縦方向および横方向の熱収縮率が下限値に満たないと熱収縮加工時の収縮が不十分となり、熱収縮加工によって低収縮方向を中心として収縮斑やシワなどが発生したり、両方向とも熱収縮性が不足する場合は目的とする収縮形状に加工できない。
１８０℃での熱収縮率はかかる範囲内でより大きい方が好ましいが、１５５℃での熱収縮率特性をも備えるために、上限値は５０％以下であることが好ましく、さらには３０％以下であることが好ましく、目的とする用途によっては２０％以下であってもよい。
The heat shrinkage rate when the biaxially oriented polyester film is heat-treated at 180 ° C. for 30 minutes is 8% or more in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction, more preferably 10% or more. If the thermal shrinkage rate in the vertical and horizontal directions at 180 ° C is less than the lower limit, the shrinkage during heat shrinkage processing will be insufficient, and shrinkage spots and wrinkles will occur mainly in the low shrinkage direction due to heat shrinkage processing. If the heat shrinkability is insufficient in both directions, it cannot be processed into the desired shrink shape.
The heat shrinkage rate at 180 ° C. is preferably larger within such a range, but the upper limit value is preferably 50% or less, and more preferably 30% or less in order to provide heat shrinkage rate characteristics at 155 ° C. Preferably, it may be 20% or less depending on the intended use.
また、二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムを１５５℃で３０分間熱処理したときの熱収縮率は、縦方向および横方向ともに５％以下であり、さらに好ましくは３％以下である。１５５℃での縦方向および横方向の熱収縮率が上限値を超えて大きいと、フィルムが熱収縮加工温度に到達するまでの間にフィルム収縮が一部発生し、昇温過程で少しずつ収縮が生じることで収縮斑やシワなどの外観不良が発生する。 Further, the heat shrinkage rate when the biaxially oriented polyester film is heat-treated at 155 ° C. for 30 minutes is 5% or less in both the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, more preferably 3% or less. If the thermal shrinkage in the vertical and horizontal directions at 155 ° C is larger than the upper limit, some film shrinkage will occur before the film reaches the heat shrinking temperature, and it will shrink little by little during the heating process. Occurrence of poor appearance such as shrinkage spots and wrinkles.
１５５℃および１８０℃の比較的近い温度において、一方の熱収縮率を小さくし、他方の熱収縮率を大きくするためには、フィルム製膜時の延伸温度および熱固定温度のそれぞれを一定範囲で行うことが必要である。 In order to reduce one thermal shrinkage rate and increase the other thermal shrinkage rate at relatively close temperatures of 155 ° C. and 180 ° C., the stretching temperature and the heat setting temperature during film formation are set within a certain range. It is necessary to do.
このような比較的近い温度で熱収縮特性の大きく異なるフィルムを得る方法は従来知られておらず、例えば特開昭５０−１３３２７４号公報で用いられている熱固定温度は、ポリエチレンナフタレートのガラス転移点に近い１３０℃乃至１４０℃である。この熱固定温度はポリエチレンナフタレートフィルムに対して通常用いられる熱固定温度に較べて非常に低く、フィルムの結晶化度が低いためにフィルムの熱収縮率は大きくなる。しかしながら、その効果は１５５℃での熱収縮率に対しても１８０℃での熱収縮率に対しても同様に働くため、どちらの温度とも熱収縮率が大きくなってしまう。
また、ポリエチレンナフタレートフィルムに対して、熱寸法安定性を高めるために通常用いられる熱固定温度は融点に比較的近い温度であり、結晶化度を高めることでフィルムの熱収縮率は小さくなる。しかしながら、その効果は１５５℃での熱収縮率に対しても１８０℃での熱収縮率に対しても同様に働くため、どちらの温度とも熱収縮率が小さくなる。
A method for obtaining a film having greatly different heat shrinkage characteristics at such a relatively close temperature has not been known. For example, the heat setting temperature used in JP-A-50-133274 is a glass of polyethylene naphthalate. It is 130 ° C. to 140 ° C. close to the transition point. This heat setting temperature is much lower than the heat setting temperature usually used for polyethylene naphthalate films, and the film has a low degree of crystallinity, so that the heat shrinkage rate of the film increases. However, since the effect works in the same way for the heat shrinkage rate at 155 ° C. and the heat shrinkage rate at 180 ° C., the heat shrinkage rate increases at either temperature.
Further, the heat setting temperature usually used for increasing the thermal dimensional stability of the polyethylene naphthalate film is a temperature relatively close to the melting point, and the heat shrinkage rate of the film is reduced by increasing the crystallinity. However, since the effect works in the same way for the heat shrinkage rate at 155 ° C. and the heat shrinkage rate at 180 ° C., the heat shrinkage rate becomes small at both temperatures.
かかる従来技術に対して、本発明は製膜時の延伸温度を通常よりも低い温度、具体的には１１０℃〜１５０℃、好ましくは１１０℃〜１４０℃に設定して延伸を行うことでフィルムを十分に配向結晶化させ、さらに熱固定処理を行う温度を１８５℃〜２２０℃、好ましくは１８５℃〜２１５℃とすることにより、本発明の温度に応じた熱収縮率特性を有する二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムを得ることができる。 In contrast to such a conventional technique, the present invention provides a film by stretching at a temperature lower than usual, specifically 110 ° C. to 150 ° C., preferably 110 ° C. to 140 ° C. Is sufficiently oriented and crystallized, and the temperature at which the heat setting treatment is performed is 185 ° C. to 220 ° C., preferably 185 ° C. to 215 ° C., so that the biaxial orientation having the heat shrinkage characteristic according to the temperature of the present invention is achieved. A polyester film can be obtained.
また、１８０℃で二軸方向ともに本発明の熱収縮性を得るために、二軸方向ともに一定範囲の延伸倍率で延伸処理を行うことが必要である。具体的な延伸倍率は熱固定温度などにより変動するものの、例えば熱固定温度が１８５℃の場合は少なくとも縦方向に３．０倍以上、横方向に２．３倍以上の倍率で延伸する方法が挙げられ、熱固定温度が２１０℃の場合は縦方向に少なくとも３．６倍以上、横方向に２．５倍以上の倍率で延伸する方法が挙げられる。さらに、横延伸を行う前の予熱工程の温度を８０℃〜１１５℃の範囲内でかつ横延伸温度より低くすることにより、縦方向の熱収縮性を減少させることなく横方向に熱収縮性を付与でき、より効率的に縦横方向ともに高い熱収縮性が得られやすい。 Further, in order to obtain the heat shrinkability of the present invention in both biaxial directions at 180 ° C., it is necessary to perform a stretching treatment in a certain range of stretching ratio in both biaxial directions. Although the specific draw ratio varies depending on the heat setting temperature and the like, for example, when the heat setting temperature is 185 ° C., there is a method of drawing at a ratio of at least 3.0 times in the longitudinal direction and 2.3 times or more in the transverse direction. When the heat setting temperature is 210 ° C., there is a method of stretching at a magnification of at least 3.6 times in the longitudinal direction and 2.5 times or more in the transverse direction. Furthermore, by reducing the temperature of the preheating step before the transverse stretching within the range of 80 ° C. to 115 ° C. and lower than the transverse stretching temperature, the heat shrinkability in the transverse direction is reduced without reducing the heat shrinkability in the longitudinal direction. High heat shrinkability can be easily obtained in both the vertical and horizontal directions.
［フィルム破断強度］
本発明における二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムの縦方向の破断強度は２８０ＭＰａ以上であることが好ましく、さらに好ましくは３００ＭＰａ以上である。
また、本発明における二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムの縦方向の破断強度は横方向の破断強度よりも５０ＭＰａ以上高いことが好ましく、さらに好ましくは７０ＭＰａ以上である。
[Film break strength]
The longitudinal breaking strength of the biaxially oriented polyester film in the present invention is preferably 280 MPa or more, more preferably 300 MPa or more.
Further, the breaking strength in the longitudinal direction of the biaxially oriented polyester film in the present invention is preferably 50 MPa or more, more preferably 70 MPa or more than the breaking strength in the transverse direction.
本発明は二軸方向ともに１８０℃で高収縮性を備えるフィルムであるが、特に逐次二軸延伸法においては縦延伸後に行う横延伸の影響により、横方向の方が熱収縮率が高くなり、縦横方向に収縮差が生じやすい傾向にある。
そのため、縦方向の破断強度が下限値に満たない範囲では縦方向のフィルムの配向結晶化が十分でないために、熱収縮特性が上述の範囲を満たしていても収縮斑やシワ発生に若干の影響を与えることがある。
Although the present invention is a film having high shrinkage at 180 ° C. in both biaxial directions, particularly in the sequential biaxial stretching method, due to the influence of transverse stretching performed after longitudinal stretching, the thermal shrinkage rate is higher in the lateral direction. There is a tendency that a difference in shrinkage tends to occur in the vertical and horizontal directions.
Therefore, in the range where the longitudinal breaking strength is less than the lower limit, the orientational crystallization of the longitudinal film is not sufficient, so even if the heat shrinkage characteristics satisfy the above range, there is a slight effect on shrinkage spots and wrinkle generation. May give.
縦方向の破断強度特性を得る方法として、逐次二軸延伸フィルムの場合は、最初の延伸工程、すなわち縦方向に延伸する際に１１０℃〜１５０℃、好ましくは１１０℃〜１４０℃の延伸温度で縦方向に十分に大きな延伸倍率で延伸を行うことが好ましい。好ましい縦方向の延伸倍率は熱固定温度に応じて変動するが、例えば熱固定温度が１８５℃の場合には縦方向に３．５倍以上の延伸倍率で延伸することが好ましい。 As a method for obtaining the breaking strength characteristics in the longitudinal direction, in the case of a sequential biaxially stretched film, the first stretching step, that is, at a stretching temperature of 110 ° C. to 150 ° C., preferably 110 ° C. to 140 ° C., when stretched in the longitudinal direction. It is preferable to perform stretching at a sufficiently large stretching ratio in the longitudinal direction. The preferred stretching ratio in the machine direction varies depending on the heat setting temperature. For example, when the heat setting temperature is 185 ° C., it is preferably stretched at a stretching ratio of 3.5 times or more in the machine direction.
また、縦方向の破断強度が横方向の破断強度よりも高いことにより、縦方向のフィルムの配向を横のそれよりも十分に高くすることでき、熱収縮特性以外に由来する若干の収縮斑やシワ発生を抑制することができる。
本発明における二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムの縦方向の破断強度や横方向の破断強度は、上述の関係が満たされていれば、その範囲内で強度が高い場合は特に限度はない。しかしながら、横方向の破断強度が２００ＭＰａを下回ると、パッケージをする際やパッケージされた包装体の輸送時に機械的強度が不足することがあり、破れなどが生じることがあるため、横方向の破断強度は２００ＭＰａ以上であることが好ましい。
In addition, since the longitudinal breaking strength is higher than the transverse breaking strength, the orientation of the film in the longitudinal direction can be sufficiently higher than that in the transverse direction, and some shrinkage spots derived from other than the heat shrinkage characteristics Wrinkle generation can be suppressed.
The longitudinal direction breaking strength and the transverse direction breaking strength of the biaxially oriented polyester film in the present invention are not particularly limited as long as the above relationship is satisfied and the strength is high within the range. However, when the breaking strength in the lateral direction is less than 200 MPa, the mechanical strength may be insufficient when packaging or transporting the packaged package, and tearing may occur. Is preferably 200 MPa or more.
また縦方向と横方向の破断強度差をかかる範囲にするためには、縦横方向の延伸温度を上述の範囲にし、縦方向の延伸倍率を横方向の延伸倍率よりも大きくすること、例えば１８５℃の熱固定温度では縦方向の延伸倍率を横方向の延伸倍率より０．３倍以上大きくすることによって得ることができる。 Further, in order to make the difference between the breaking strengths in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction, the stretching temperature in the longitudinal and transverse directions is set in the above-mentioned range, and the stretching ratio in the longitudinal direction is made larger than the stretching ratio in the transverse direction, for example, 185 ° C. Can be obtained by making the longitudinal draw ratio 0.3 times or more larger than the transverse draw ratio.
［ヤング率］
本発明における二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムの縦方向のヤング率は横方向のヤング率よりも５００ＭＰａ以上高いことが好ましく、さらに好ましくは７００ＭＰａ以上である。
縦方向と横方向のヤング率差が下限値より低いと、縦方向のフィルムの配向結晶化が十分でないため、収縮斑やシワ発生に若干の影響を与えることがある。かかるヤング率特性を得るためにはフィルム破断強度と同じ方法を用いればよい。
[Young's modulus]
The Young's modulus in the longitudinal direction of the biaxially oriented polyester film in the present invention is preferably higher than the Young's modulus in the transverse direction by 500 MPa or more, more preferably 700 MPa or more.
If the Young's modulus difference between the vertical direction and the horizontal direction is lower than the lower limit value, the orientational crystallization of the film in the vertical direction is not sufficient, which may slightly affect shrinkage spots and wrinkles. In order to obtain such Young's modulus characteristics, the same method as the film breaking strength may be used.
［融解サブピーク温度］
本発明における二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムの融解サブピーク温度（Ｔｓｍ）は１７０℃以上２１０℃以下であることが好ましく、さらに好ましくは１７０℃以上２０５℃以下である。
融解サブピーク温度とは、示差走査熱量計測定による結晶融解前に現れる微小吸熱ピークであり、この融解サブピーク（Ｔｓｍ）はフィルムの熱固定温度に相当する温度に微小ピークとして観測され、熱固定処理で形成された結晶構造のうち不完全な部分（擬結晶）が融解するために生じるものである。融解サブピーク温度がかかる範囲にあることによって、本発明の１５５℃および１８０℃での熱収縮率特性を得ることができる。
[Melting subpeak temperature]
The melting sub-peak temperature (Tsm) of the biaxially oriented polyester film in the present invention is preferably 170 ° C. or higher and 210 ° C. or lower, more preferably 170 ° C. or higher and 205 ° C. or lower.
The melting subpeak temperature is a minute endothermic peak that appears before crystal melting by differential scanning calorimetry, and this melting subpeak (Tsm) is observed as a minute peak at a temperature corresponding to the heat fixing temperature of the film. This is because an incomplete portion (pseudocrystal) of the formed crystal structure is melted. When the melting subpeak temperature is within such a range, the heat shrinkage characteristics at 155 ° C. and 180 ° C. of the present invention can be obtained.
かかる融解サブピークを得るためには、フィルム製膜方法で述べた範囲の熱固定温度で熱固定処理を行えばよい。融解サブピークが下限値未満だと、１５５℃などの低い温度領域の熱収縮率が高くなり、フィルムが熱収縮加工温度に到達するまでの間にフィルム収縮が一部発生しやすくなる。他方、融解サブピークが上限値を超えると、１８０℃の温度での熱収縮率が低くなり、熱収縮性を利用した包装を効率良く行うことができない。 In order to obtain such a melting subpeak, a heat setting treatment may be performed at a heat setting temperature in the range described in the film forming method. If the melting sub-peak is less than the lower limit value, the heat shrinkage rate in a low temperature region such as 155 ° C. becomes high, and part of the film shrinkage tends to occur before the film reaches the heat shrinking processing temperature. On the other hand, if the melting subpeak exceeds the upper limit value, the heat shrinkage rate at a temperature of 180 ° C. becomes low, and packaging using heat shrinkability cannot be performed efficiently.
［フィルム製造方法］
本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムの製造方法として、例えば十分に乾燥させたポリエチレンナフタレート樹脂組成物を樹脂の融点〜（融点＋７０℃）の範囲の温度で溶融押し出し、キャスティングドラム上で急冷して未延伸フィルムとし、ついで該未延伸フィルムを縦方向および横方向に逐次二軸延伸または同時二軸延伸し、熱固定する方法が挙げられる。
[Film production method]
As a method for producing the biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention, for example, a sufficiently dried polyethylene naphthalate resin composition is melt-extruded at a temperature in the range of the melting point of the resin to (melting point + 70 ° C.) and rapidly cooled on a casting drum. Examples thereof include a method in which an unstretched film is obtained, and then the unstretched film is successively biaxially or simultaneously biaxially stretched in the machine direction and the transverse direction, and heat-set.
二軸延伸は逐次二軸延伸が好ましく、その際、未延伸フィルムを縦方向に１１０℃〜１５０℃で３．０倍〜５．５倍延伸し、次いでステンターにて横方向に１１０℃〜１５０℃で２．３〜４．０倍延伸し、その後１８５℃〜２２０℃、より好ましくは１８５℃〜２１５℃の温度で緊張下又は制限収縮下で熱固定するのが好ましい。また熱固定時間は１０〜３０秒が好ましい。縦延伸を行うときの加熱媒体はロール温度で設定してもよく、フィルム上方に赤外線などのヒーターを設置して加熱してもよい。 Biaxial stretching is preferably sequential biaxial stretching, in which case an unstretched film is stretched 3.0 to 5.5 times in the longitudinal direction at 110 ° C. to 150 ° C., and then 110 to 150 ° C. in the lateral direction with a stenter. It is preferable that the film is stretched by 2.3 to 4.0 times at 0 ° C., and then heat-set at a temperature of 185 ° C. to 220 ° C., more preferably 185 ° C. to 215 ° C. under tension or limited shrinkage. The heat setting time is preferably 10 to 30 seconds. The heating medium for longitudinal stretching may be set at the roll temperature, or may be heated by installing a heater such as infrared rays above the film.
また、縦延伸工程の後、ステンター内で最初に温度がかかる予熱工程の温度を８０℃〜１１５℃の範囲とする方が横延伸する際に均等に横延伸をすることができるので好ましく、また該予熱工程の温度をかかる範囲内で横方向に延伸する際の温度よりも低くする方が、縦方向の配向を減少させることなく横延伸することが可能となり、縦横方向ともに高い熱収縮性が得やすくなる。 In addition, after the longitudinal stretching step, it is preferable that the temperature of the preheating step in which the temperature is first applied in the stenter is in the range of 80 ° C. to 115 ° C., since the lateral stretching can be performed uniformly, If the temperature of the preheating step is lower than the temperature at which the film is stretched in the transverse direction within such a range, it becomes possible to stretch the film without reducing the orientation in the machine direction, and high heat shrinkability in both the machine and transverse directions. It becomes easy to obtain.
同時二軸延伸の場合も上記逐次二軸延伸の延伸温度、延伸倍率、熱固定温度などを適用することができる。また必要に応じて二軸延伸したフィルムをさらに縦方向および／または横方向に再延伸する、いわゆる３段延伸法、４段延伸法により製造することもできる。その際、それぞれの方向の延伸倍率の合計が上記の範囲となるように調整することが好ましい。 In the case of simultaneous biaxial stretching, the stretching temperature, stretching ratio, heat setting temperature, etc. of the sequential biaxial stretching can be applied. If necessary, the biaxially stretched film can be further produced by a so-called three-stage stretching method or four-stage stretching method in which the film is re-stretched in the machine direction and / or the transverse direction. In that case, it is preferable to adjust so that the sum total of the draw ratio of each direction may become said range.
