Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は多孔性フィルム及びその製造方法に関する。詳しくは、全光線透過率が高く、かつ透湿性も良好な多孔性フィルム及びその製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、ポリオレフィン樹脂と無機充填剤との組成物からなるフィルムを一軸あるいは二軸方向に延伸し、フィルムに連通したボイドを発生させて多孔性フィルムを製造する方法は多数提案されている。この多孔性フィルムは、衛生材料、医療用材料、衣料用材料、建築用材料、電池用セパレーター等多種用途材料として使用されている。
しかしながら、ポリオレフィン樹脂と無機充填剤だけの配合系ではしなやかな風合いを有する多孔性フィルムは得られず、布様のソフト感、しなやかな風合い等を要求される分野には使用できなかった。かかる問題点を解決する方法として、ポリオレフィン系樹脂と無機充填剤の配合系に第三成分として脂肪酸エステル等の添加剤を添加する方法が提案されている。
【0003】
しかしながら、本発明者らの知見によればこれらの多孔性フィルムは多数の微多孔を有しているため、フィルム全体が白化しており、全光線透過率の低いものである。従って、これを例えば、使い捨てオムツのバックシートとして使用した場合、オムツ着用者が尿をしても外観が変わらず、オムツを付け替える時期がよく判らず、場合によっては長時間汚れたオムツを着用させられたままとなり、その結果、多孔性フィルムを用いたにも関わらず、オムツ着用者にムレ、カブレを生じさせる可能性がある。そのため、オムツメーカーによっては全光線透過率が高くオムツの付け替え時期がわかる機能(以下、シースルー性という)を優先するために非多孔性フィルムを採用しているところもあるのが実情である。一方、このようなメーカーにおいても多孔性フィルムについての関心は強く、シースルー機能と透湿性の両方の機能を有する多孔性フィルムへの期待は大きい。
【0004】
これを解決するものとして、例えば、特開平5−168660号公報には、全光線透過率が少なくとも30%で、かつ、透湿度が少なくとも1000g/m2・24hrである通気性フィルムを防漏シートとして用いた使い捨てオムツが開示されている。この通気性フィルムとしては、全光線透過率を高めるために該フィルムを部分的に溶融させるエンボス加工を行ったものを使用しており、実施例では全光線透過率32〜64%、透湿度1020〜1850g/m2の通気性フィルムが記載されている。
【0005】
しかしながら、エンボス加工することにより透湿性は低下する傾向にあり、上記公報においても、全光線透過率を50%近くにするためには、フィルムの透湿度は1000g/m2・24hr程度まで低下している。また、従来は、使い捨てオムツのバックシートは多孔性フィルム単独で使用されていたが、最近では、多孔性フィルムと不織布とをラミネートしたクロスライクタイプのバックシートが主流になってきており、ラミネート時に透湿性の低下、および全光線透過率の低下が起こることから、多孔性フィルムに要求される全光線透過率および透湿性はこれまで以上に高い数値となってきているのが実情である。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、上記問題に鑑み、全光線透過率及び透湿度が共に高い多孔性フィルム及びその製造方法を提供することにある。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、鋭意検討した結果、メタロセン触媒を用いて重合され、且つ、特定の特性を有するポリエチレン(A)、及び、特定の特性を有する分岐状低密度ポリエチレン(B)とを混合して用い、且つ、混合樹脂中に占める(B)の含有量を後述する添加量指数が5〜30となるように制御することにより、上記課題が解決できることを見出し、本発明に到達した。
【0008】
すなわち、本発明は、メタロセン触媒を用いて重合され、温度上昇溶離分別による溶出曲線の相対強度ピークを溶出温度70〜90℃の範囲に1個、90℃を超える温度〜110℃の範囲に1個有し、密度が0.860〜0.945g/cm3、メルトインデックスが0.1〜20g/10分であるポリエチレン(A)、及び、密度が0.900〜0.945g/cm3、メルトインデックスが0.01〜5g/10分である分岐状低密度ポリエチレン(B)との混合樹脂100重量部、及び無機充填剤10〜300重量部を含み、少なくとも一軸方向に1.05〜5倍延伸された多孔性フィルムであって、前記混合樹脂中に(B)が下記数式(1)〔数5〕
【0009】

〔式中、Sは添加量指数、Tは混合樹脂中に占める分岐状低密度ポリエチレンの量(重量%)、Mは分岐状低密度ポリエチレンのメルトインデックス(g/10分)〕で表される添加量指数が5〜30となる範囲で含まれ、且つ、全光線透過率が50%以上、透湿度が1300〜5000g/m2・24hrであることを特徴とする多孔性フィルムである。
【0010】
また、本発明の他の発明は、前記ポリエチレン(A)、及び、前記分岐状低密度ポリエチレン(B)との混合樹脂100重量部、及び無機充填剤10〜300重量部を含むフィルムを少なくとも一軸方向に1.05〜5倍延伸する多孔性フィルムの製造方法であって、前記混合樹脂中に占める(B)の量を、上記数式(1)で表される添加量指数が5〜30となる範囲で制御することを特徴とする多孔性フィルムの製造方法である。
【0011】
本発明により提供される多孔性フィルムは、従来公知の多孔性フィルムと同様の透湿性、厚み均一性を有し、しかも全光線透過率が高い。すなわち、透湿度と全光線透過率が共に高い多孔性フィルムである。具体的には、全光線透過率(L)と透湿度(V)との積(L×V/100)で表される透過透湿指数が900〜4000の範囲にある多孔性フィルムである。
【0012】
そのため、衛生材料、医療用材料、衣料用材料、建築用材料、包装用材料などの分野において好適に使用することができる。特に、使い捨てオムツのような製品の資材、また全光線透過率が低いために今まで参入できなかった、絆創膏用、食品包装用等にも使用することができる。
【0013】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。
本発明の多孔性フィルムは、メタロセン触媒を用いて重合され、特定の特性を有するポリエチレン(A)(以下、メタロセン触媒ポリエチレンという)と、特定の特性を有する分岐状低密度ポリエチレン(B)とを混合して用い、且つ、混合樹脂中に占める(B)の量を前記数式(1)で表される添加量指数が5〜30となる範囲で用い、該混合樹脂と無機充填剤を含む樹脂組成物を溶融製膜した後、少なくとも一軸方向に延伸することにより製造することができる。
【0014】
本発明に使用されるメタロセン触媒ポリエチレンは、エチレンと炭素数3〜8個のα−オレフィンとの共重合体が好ましい。メタロセン触媒ポリエチレンの密度は0.860〜0.940g/cm3が好ましく、0.890g/cm3〜0.930g/cm3がより好ましい。メルトインデックス(以下、MIという)は0.1〜20g/10分が好ましく、0.5〜10g/10分がより好ましい。数平均分子量(Mn)に対する重量平均分子量(Mw)の比(Mw/Mn、以下、分子量分布指数という)は1.5〜3.5が好ましく、2〜3がより好ましい。メタロセン触媒ポリエチレンとして、実施例に示した温度上昇溶離分別(Temperature Rising Elution Fraction:TREF)による溶出曲線の相対強度ピークが溶出温度70〜90℃の範囲に1個、90℃を超える温度〜110℃の範囲に1個それぞれ存在するものが好ましく用いられる。上記特性を有するメタロセン触媒ポリエチレンの市販品として、三井化学(株)製、商品名:エボリューSP2040、エボリューSP1540等が挙げられる。
【0015】
また、本発明に使用される分岐状低密度ポリエチレンとしては、密度が0.900〜0.940g/cm3が好ましく、0.905〜0.930g/cm3がより好ましい。また、MIは0.01〜5g/10分が好ましく、0.05〜3g/10分がより好ましい。かかる特性を有する分岐状低密度ポリエチレンの市販品として、三井化学(株)製、商品名:ミラソン102、ミラソン27等が挙げられる。
【0016】
本発明では、上記メタロセン触媒ポリエチレンと、上記分岐状低密度ポリエチレンとの混合樹脂を用いる。両樹脂を混合する際には、上記数式(1)で表される添加量指数が5〜30となる範囲で上記分岐状低密度ポリエチレンが用いられる。好ましい添加量指数の範囲は6〜30である。添加量指数が5以上となるような量の分岐状低密度ポリエチレンを用いると、得られる多孔性フィルムの透湿性が向上する。その理由については定かではないが、メタロセン触媒ポリエチレンと分岐状低密度ポリエチレンの混合性、相互の分散性等の関係で、フィルムを延伸した時に樹脂と無機充填剤との界面での剥離により形成される微孔の他に、メタロセン触媒ポリエチレンと分岐状低密度ポリエチレンの界面でも亀裂が形成され、これが添加量指数が大きくなるにつれて増加し、5以上となるような量の分岐状低密度ポリエチレンを用いると、その亀裂が2つ以上の微孔を貫きはじめ、その結果、フィルムの透湿性が向上するものと推定される。
【0017】
また、この亀裂によって孔径が従来の多孔性フィルムよりも大きくなる。従って、従来の多孔性フィルムと同じ透湿性をを得るためには孔の数は少なくて良い。一般的に、光は屈折率の異なる相の界面で反射及び屈折する。多孔性フィルムの場合、樹脂と孔(空気層)の界面で反射、屈折が起こるので、界面の少ない、すなわち孔数の少ない方が全光線透過率が高くなる。本発明の多孔性フィルムの全光線透過率が高いのはこのためと考えている。
【0018】
また、添加量指数が30を超える様な量の分岐状低密度ポリエチレンを用いると、溶融粘度が高くなり、成形時の押出速度と冷却速度の調整が困難となる傾向を示し、フィルムが破れることがあるので好ましくない。本発明では、上記事項を総合的に勘案して、上記メタロセン触媒ポリエチレンと、上記分岐状低密度ポリエチレンとを混合する際に、上記数式(1)で表される添加量指数が5〜30となる範囲で上記分岐状低密度ポリエチレンが用いられる。
【0019】
無機充填剤としては、例えば、硫酸バリウム、硫酸カルシウム、硫酸マグネシウム、炭酸バリウム、炭酸カルシウム、炭酸マグネシウム、水酸化アルミニウム、酸化亜鉛、酸化マグネシウム、酸化チタン、シリカ、マイカ、ゼオライト、タルク、クレー、ガラスビーズ、アルミニウム粉、鉄粉、カーボンブラック、などが使用される。特に、硫酸バリウム、および炭酸カルシウムが好ましい。これらは、単独、または、複合して使用してもよい。無機充填剤の平均粒径は10μm以下のものが好ましく、特に0.5〜5.0μmのものが好ましい。無機充填剤の表面処理は、脂肪酸または、その金属塩などで処理されたものが好ましい。
【0020】
さらに本発明の効果を妨げない範囲で可塑剤、安定剤、酸化防止剤、紫外線吸収剤等を添加してもよい。
【0021】
次いで、本発明に用いる多孔性フィルムの好ましい製造方法を例示する。上記メタロセン触媒ポリエチレン、分岐状低密度ポリエチレン、無機充填剤、及び必要に応じて他の添加剤をヘンシェルミキサー、スーパーミキサー、タンブラー型ミキサー等を用いて混合した後、一軸あるいは二軸スクリュー型押出機を用いて混練してペレット化する。次いで、これらのペレットをベースレジンの融点以上、好ましくは融点+20℃以上、分解温度未満の温度範囲でTダイ成形機、インフレーション成形機等公知の成形機を用いて溶融製膜する。場合によっては、ペレット化せず直接押出機で製膜することもできる。
【0022】
製膜されたフィルムは、ロール法、テンター法等の公知の方法により、室温〜樹脂の軟化点(JIS K−6760に規定される方法により測定した値)において、少なくとも一軸方向に延伸を行い、樹脂と無機充填剤との界面剥離をおこさせることにより多孔性フィルムを製造する。延伸は多段階に分けて行ってもよい。
【0023】
本発明における延伸倍率は少なくとも一軸方向に1.05〜5倍、好ましくは、1.1〜3倍である。また、延伸後必要に応じて、得られた開孔の形態を安定させるために熱固定処理を行っても良い。熱固定処理としては、樹脂の軟化点以上、融点未満の温度において、0.1〜100秒間熱処理する方法が挙げられる。
【0024】
本発明の多孔性フィルムの厚みには特に制限はないが、通常、5〜100μmが好ましく、10〜70μmが更に好ましい。5μm未満では破れ易くなり、100μmを超えると全光線透過率が低下するので好ましくない。
【0025】
本発明における透湿度は、ASTM E−96に基づき、温度40℃、相対湿度60%、純水法の条件で1300〜5000g/m2・24hrである。1300g/m2・24hr未満では、通気性が低すぎて、通気性フィルムとしての性能を発揮できない。また、5000g/m2・24hrを超える場合、通気性としては申し分ないが、この透湿度を達成させるために延伸倍率を上げる、フィラー量を上げる等が必要となり生産性が低下する傾向にある。また、高光線透過率が達成しにくくなるので好ましくない。
【0026】
また、得られた多孔性フィルムの全光線透過率は50%以上である。全光線透過率の上限は高いほど好ましい。全光線透過率が50%以上であるものは、例えば、使い捨てオムツのバックシート等として使用した場合、シースルー性に優れたフィルムとなる。
【0027】
また、全光線透過率と透湿度との関係が下式(2)〔数6〕
【0028】
【数6】
Figure 0003765665
〔式中、Xは透過透湿指数、Lは全光線透過率、Vは透湿度〕で表される透過透湿指数が900〜4000である。
【0029】
透過透湿指数が900以上であるフィルムは全光線透過率および透湿度とも良好なフィルムとなる。また、透過透湿指数が4000以上を超える場合は、全光線透過率および透湿度とも申し分ないが、この数値を達成させるためにはフィルムが薄くなりすぎるために生産性が低下する傾向にある。
【0030】
尚、本発明の多孔性フィルムは、処方、延伸倍率等の条件によって、全光線透過率および透湿度を調整すると良いが、熱エンボス等によって調整してもよい。ただし、全光線透過率は50%以上、透湿度は1300〜5000g/m2・24hrでかつ、前述の透過透湿指数が900〜4000の範囲に入るように調整する必要がある。
【0031】
【実施例】
以下、本発明を更に具体的に説明するため、実施例、比較例をあげて説明するが、本発明はこれらの実施例に限定されるものではない。実施例に示したメルトインデックス、温度上昇溶離分別、分子量分布指数、全光線透過率、透湿度、フィルム厚みの均一性の評価は以下の方法で行った。

ASTM E−96に規定される方法に基づき、温度40℃、相対湿度60%、純水法の条件で測定する。測定時間は24時間とする。
(6)フィルム厚みの均一性
多孔性フィルムから試料〔機械方向(以下、縦方向という):101cm、機械方向と直角方向(以下、横方向という):5cm〕を3枚採取し、縦方向に1cm間隔で合計300ヶ所の測定点について、厚み測定機(PEACOCK社製、UPRIGHT DIAL GUAGE NO.25)を用いて厚みを測定し、平均厚み(X)、最高厚み(MAX)及び最低厚み(MIN)を求め、〔(MAX)−(MIN)〕/(X)を算出して、これをフィルム厚みの均一性とする。
【0033】
実施例1〜14、比較例1〜6
メタロセン触媒ポリエチレンとして、密度0.920g/cm3、メルトインデックス(MI)4.0g/10分、TREFの溶出曲線のピーク数2個(約84℃に相対強度0.0072のピーク1個、約99℃に相対強度0.0014のピーク1個)、Mw/Mnが2.2である、三井化学(株)製、商品名:エボリューSP2040を用いた。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a porous film and a method for producing the same. Specifically, the present invention relates to a porous film having a high total light transmittance and good moisture permeability and a method for producing the same.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, many methods for producing a porous film by stretching a film made of a composition of a polyolefin resin and an inorganic filler in a uniaxial or biaxial direction and generating voids communicating with the film have been proposed. This porous film is used as various materials such as sanitary materials, medical materials, clothing materials, building materials, battery separators and the like.
However, a porous film having a supple texture cannot be obtained with a blending system consisting of only a polyolefin resin and an inorganic filler, and cannot be used in fields requiring a cloth-like soft feeling and a supple texture. As a method for solving such a problem, a method of adding an additive such as a fatty acid ester as a third component to a blended system of a polyolefin resin and an inorganic filler has been proposed.
[0003]
However, according to the knowledge of the present inventors, since these porous films have a large number of micropores, the entire film is whitened, and the total light transmittance is low. Therefore, for example, when this is used as a back sheet for disposable diapers, the appearance does not change even if the diaper wears urine, and it is not clear when to change diapers. As a result, there is a possibility that the diaper wearer may become stuffy or fogged despite the use of the porous film. For this reason, some diaper manufacturers use non-porous films in order to prioritize the function (hereinafter referred to as see-through property) that has a high total light transmittance and can know when to change diapers. On the other hand, such manufacturers also have a strong interest in porous films, and expectations for porous films having both see-through functions and moisture permeability functions are high.
[0004]
As a solution to this problem, for example, JP-A-5-168660 discloses a leakproof sheet having a total light transmittance of at least 30% and a moisture permeability of at least 1000 g / m 2 · 24 hr. Disposable diapers used as are disclosed. As this air permeable film, what carried out the embossing which melts this film partially in order to raise a total light transmittance is used, and the total light transmittance is 32 to 64% and the moisture permeability is 1020 in the Examples. A breathable film of ˜1850 g / m 2 is described.
[0005]
However, the moisture permeability tends to be reduced by embossing, and in the above publication, the moisture permeability of the film is reduced to about 1000 g / m 2 · 24 hr in order to make the total light transmittance close to 50%. ing. Conventionally, disposable diaper backsheets have been used alone with porous films, but recently, cross-like backsheets that are laminated with porous films and non-woven fabrics have become mainstream. Since the moisture permeability and the total light transmittance are lowered, the total light transmittance and moisture permeability required for the porous film are actually higher than ever.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
The porous film of the present invention comprises a polyethylene (A) polymerized using a metallocene catalyst and having specific characteristics (hereinafter referred to as metallocene-catalyzed polyethylene), and a branched low density polyethylene (B) having specific characteristics. A resin containing the mixed resin and the inorganic filler, which is used in a mixed manner, and the amount of (B) in the mixed resin is used within a range where the addition amount index represented by the mathematical formula (1) is 5 to 30. After the composition is melt-cast, it can be produced by stretching in at least a uniaxial direction.
[0014]
The metallocene-catalyzed polyethylene used in the present invention is preferably a copolymer of ethylene and an α-olefin having 3 to 8 carbon atoms. The density of the metallocene catalyzed polyethylene is preferably 0.860~0.940g / cm 3, 0.890g / cm 3 ~0.930g / cm 3 is more preferable. The melt index (hereinafter referred to as MI) is preferably from 0.1 to 20 g / 10 minutes, and more preferably from 0.5 to 10 g / 10 minutes. The ratio of the weight average molecular weight (Mw) to the number average molecular weight (Mn) (Mw / Mn, hereinafter referred to as molecular weight distribution index) is preferably 1.5 to 3.5, more preferably 2 to 3. As the metallocene-catalyzed polyethylene, the relative intensity peak of the elution curve by temperature rising elution fractionation (TREF) shown in the Examples is one in the elution temperature range of 70 to 90 ° C, and the temperature exceeding 90 ° C to 110 ° C. Those having one each in the range are preferably used. Examples of commercially available metallocene-catalyzed polyethylenes having the above characteristics include Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., trade names: Evolue SP2040, Evolue SP1540, and the like.
[0015]
As the branched low density polyethylene used in the present invention preferably has a density 0.900~0.940g / cm 3, more preferably 0.905~0.930g / cm 3. Moreover, MI is preferably 0.01 to 5 g / 10 min, and more preferably 0.05 to 3 g / 10 min. Commercially available products of branched low density polyethylene having such characteristics include Mitsui Chemicals, trade name: Mirason 102, Mirason 27, and the like.
[0016]
In the present invention, a mixed resin of the metallocene catalyst polyethylene and the branched low density polyethylene is used. When the two resins are mixed, the branched low-density polyethylene is used in a range where the addition amount index represented by the mathematical formula (1) is 5 to 30. The range of preferable addition amount index is 6-30. When the branched low density polyethylene is used in such an amount that the addition index is 5 or more, the moisture permeability of the resulting porous film is improved. The reason for this is not clear, but it is formed by peeling at the interface between the resin and the inorganic filler when the film is stretched due to the miscibility of the metallocene-catalyzed polyethylene and the branched low-density polyethylene, mutual dispersibility, etc. In addition to the micropores, cracks are also formed at the interface between the metallocene-catalyzed polyethylene and the branched low-density polyethylene, and this increases with an increase in the addition amount index. It is estimated that the crack begins to penetrate two or more micropores, and as a result, the moisture permeability of the film is improved.
[0017]
Moreover, the pore diameter becomes larger than the conventional porous film by this crack. Therefore, the number of holes may be small in order to obtain the same moisture permeability as that of the conventional porous film. In general, light is reflected and refracted at an interface between phases having different refractive indexes. In the case of a porous film, reflection and refraction occur at the interface between the resin and the pores (air layer), so that the total light transmittance is higher when the number of interfaces is smaller, that is, the number of pores is smaller. This is why the total light transmittance of the porous film of the present invention is high.
[0018]
In addition, when a branched low density polyethylene with an addition amount index exceeding 30 is used, the melt viscosity becomes high, and it tends to be difficult to adjust the extrusion speed and the cooling speed during molding, and the film is torn. This is not preferable. In the present invention, in consideration of the above matters comprehensively, when the metallocene-catalyzed polyethylene and the branched low-density polyethylene are mixed, the addition index represented by the above formula (1) is 5-30. The branched low-density polyethylene is used within such a range.
[0019]
Examples of inorganic fillers include barium sulfate, calcium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, barium carbonate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, aluminum hydroxide, zinc oxide, magnesium oxide, titanium oxide, silica, mica, zeolite, talc, clay, and glass. Beads, aluminum powder, iron powder, carbon black, etc. are used. In particular, barium sulfate and calcium carbonate are preferable. These may be used alone or in combination. The average particle diameter of the inorganic filler is preferably 10 μm or less, and particularly preferably 0.5 to 5.0 μm. The surface treatment of the inorganic filler is preferably treated with a fatty acid or a metal salt thereof.
[0020]
Furthermore, a plasticizer, a stabilizer, an antioxidant, an ultraviolet absorber and the like may be added as long as the effects of the present invention are not hindered.
[0021]
Subsequently, the preferable manufacturing method of the porous film used for this invention is illustrated. After mixing the above metallocene catalyst polyethylene, branched low density polyethylene, inorganic filler, and other additives as necessary using a Henschel mixer, super mixer, tumbler type mixer, etc., a single or twin screw type extruder Is kneaded into pellets. Subsequently, these pellets are melt-formed using a known molding machine such as a T-die molding machine or an inflation molding machine in a temperature range higher than the melting point of the base resin, preferably higher than the melting point + 20 ° C. and lower than the decomposition temperature. In some cases, the film can be formed directly with an extruder without being pelletized.
[0022]
The film formed is stretched at least in the uniaxial direction from a room temperature to a softening point of the resin (value measured by a method defined in JIS K-6760) by a known method such as a roll method or a tenter method. A porous film is produced by causing interfacial peeling between the resin and the inorganic filler. Stretching may be performed in multiple stages.
[0023]
The draw ratio in the present invention is 1.05 to 5 times, preferably 1.1 to 3 times in at least a uniaxial direction. Moreover, you may heat-set as needed after extending | stretching in order to stabilize the form of the obtained hole. Examples of the heat setting treatment include a method of heat treatment for 0.1 to 100 seconds at a temperature not lower than the softening point of the resin and lower than the melting point.
[0024]
Although there is no restriction | limiting in particular in the thickness of the porous film of this invention, Usually, 5-100 micrometers is preferable and 10-70 micrometers is still more preferable. If it is less than 5 μm, it is easily broken, and if it exceeds 100 μm, the total light transmittance is lowered, which is not preferable.
[0025]
The moisture permeability in the present invention is 1300 to 5000 g / m 2 · 24 hr under the conditions of a temperature of 40 ° C., a relative humidity of 60%, and a pure water method based on ASTM E-96. If it is less than 1300 g / m 2 · 24 hr, the air permeability is too low and the performance as the air permeable film cannot be exhibited. On the other hand, if it exceeds 5000 g / m 2 · 24 hr, the air permeability is satisfactory. However, in order to achieve this moisture permeability, it is necessary to increase the draw ratio, increase the amount of filler, etc., and the productivity tends to decrease. Moreover, since it becomes difficult to achieve high light transmittance, it is not preferable.
[0026]
Moreover, the total light transmittance of the obtained porous film is 50% or more. The higher the upper limit of the total light transmittance, the better. When the total light transmittance is 50% or more, for example, when used as a back sheet of a disposable diaper, a film having excellent see-through property is obtained.
[0027]
Further, the relationship between the total light transmittance and the water vapor transmission rate is expressed by the following formula (2) [Equation 6].
[0028]
[Formula 6]
Figure 0003765665
[Wherein, X is the transmission moisture permeability index, L is the total light transmittance, V is the moisture permeability], and the transmission moisture permeability index is 900 to 4000.
[0029]
A film having a transmission moisture permeability index of 900 or more is a film having good total light transmittance and moisture permeability. Moreover, when the permeation | transmission moisture permeability index exceeds 4000 or more, although it is satisfactory with respect to a total light transmittance and a water vapor transmission rate, in order to achieve this numerical value, since a film becomes too thin, there exists a tendency for productivity to fall.
[0030]
In addition, although the porous film of this invention is good to adjust total light transmittance and water vapor transmission rate according to conditions, such as a prescription and a draw ratio, you may adjust by hot embossing etc. However, it is necessary to adjust so that the total light transmittance is 50% or more, the moisture permeability is 1300 to 5000 g / m 2 · 24 hr, and the aforementioned moisture permeability index is in the range of 900 to 4000.
[0031]
