However, in recent years, the technical level required for various properties of a release film has been increasing. The present inventors have found the following problems regarding conventional release films as described in Patent Documents 1 to 3.
In other words, when trying to improve the followability of the release film, the rigidity of the film decreases, and the resin bites into the gap with the circuit, which tends to reduce the release property. The peelability was likely to be unstable depending on the type. On the other hand, it was found that if the mold release property is improved, the rigidity increases and the embedding property in the circuit decreases, the followability decreases, and a large amount of adhesive flows out.

  Then, this invention provides the release film excellent in the balance of the stable release property and followable | trackability.

  As a result of intensive studies in order to achieve the above-mentioned problems, the present inventors combined a scale of crystallinity of the release layer with a scale of loss factor (tan δ) of the release layer at 150 ° C. The present invention has been completed by finding that it is effective as a design guideline for improving the balance between stable releasability and followability.

According to the present invention,
A release film having a release layer containing a polyester resin on at least one surface,
The release layer has a crystallinity of 10% or more and 50% or less,
A release film having a loss factor (tan δ) at 150 ° C. of the release layer (measurement method: conforming to JISK7244, tensile mode, heating rate 5 ° C./min, frequency 1 Hz) of 0.02 or more and less than 0.12. Provided.

(1) Selection of resin material for forming release layer (2) Annealing conditions

First, (1) selection of a resin material for forming a release layer will be described.
As the polyester resin forming the release layer, a crystalline polyester resin may be selected. Thereby, although the orientation degree of a mold release layer can be controlled, the mold release layer in this embodiment cannot be implement | achieved only by this. Since a crystalline polyester resin has a polar group such as a carboxyl group, the amount of the polar group such as a carboxyl group is preferably highly controlled. By carrying out like this, when carrying out heat press, it can suppress interacting between the material which forms the target object surface which arrange | positions a release film, and the polar group in resin which forms a release layer.

  In addition, as the polyester resin, a polyester resin obtained by solid phase polymerization instead of the polycondensation reaction may be used. The crystallinity of the polyester resin can be controlled by controlling the reaction conditions such as the type of polymerization catalyst, reaction temperature, and reaction time in solid phase polymerization.

  Moreover, you may control the molecular weight of the monomer used when synthesize | combining a polyester resin. By doing so, the orientation of the crystal component in the polymer can be controlled.

  Moreover, you may control the polymerization degree of a polyester resin. By doing so, the balance between the viscosity and elasticity of the release layer itself can be controlled.

Next, (2) annealing treatment conditions will be described.
In order to obtain the release film in the present embodiment, annealing conditions suitable for the resin material for forming the release layer selected as described in (1) above may be adopted. Specifically, it is important to highly control and combine various factors such as processing temperature, processing time, material of the apparatus used for annealing, and surface temperature of the apparatus used for annealing. For example, hot pressing may be performed at a processing temperature of 190 ° C., a processing time of 5 minutes, and 10 MPa.

  Assuming that at least one of the above conditions (1) and (2) is satisfied, the release film may be a known method such as a co-extrusion method, an extrusion lamination method, a dry lamination method, or an inflation method. it can. In addition, when the release film has a multilayer structure, the release layer and the cushion layer may be manufactured separately and then joined by a laminator or the like, but the air-cooled or water-cooled coextrusion inflation method, coextrusion T It is preferable to form a film by a die method. Especially, the method of forming into a film by coextrusion T die method is more preferable at the point which is excellent in the thickness control of each layer. Further, the release layer and the cushion layer may be joined as they are, or may be joined via an adhesive layer.

<Usage of release film>
The release film is used, for example, in a cover lay press laminating process which is one of the manufacturing processes of a flexible printed wiring board. More specifically, the release film is disposed so as to wrap the coverlay film so that the coverlay film adheres to the concavo-convex portion of the circuit pattern when the coverlay film is adhered to the circuit exposed film. At the same time, it is heated and pressurized by a press device. The press apparatus raises the temperature from room temperature to 170 ° C. in 15 minutes from the start of pressurization, then maintains the temperature for 35 minutes, and then cools from 170 ° C. to room temperature over 50 minutes. The pressing pressure at this time is appropriately adjusted at 5 to 15 MPa.
