Description
本発明は、データストレージなどの塗布型磁気記録テープのベースフィルムに用いる積層ポリエステルフィルムに関する。 The present invention relates to a laminated polyester film used for a base film of a coating type magnetic recording tape such as data storage.
ポリエステルフィルムは、比較的安価で、優れた機械的特性を有することから磁気記録テープのベースフィルムに用いられてきた。そして、磁気記録テープのベースフィルムに用いる場合、ポリエステルフィルムには粗大な突起や欠点がない平坦な表面を有することが求められる。一方、磁性層をポリエステルフィルムに塗布して形成する塗布型磁気記録テープでは、ベースフィルムの巻取性や走行性が不安定であると、均一な磁性層を効率的に製造することができず、ポリエステルフィルムに不活性粒子などの滑剤を含有させて、表面に突起などを形成することが求められる。この２つの要求は相反するものであり、これらの要求を満たすために、特許文献１〜６には、表面欠点を低減するために触媒種を特定のものにしたり、フィルム中に含有させる粒子として粗大粒子の少ないものを用いること、およびそのような処理を行った表面欠点の少ないフィルムが提案されている。 Polyester films have been used as base films for magnetic recording tapes because they are relatively inexpensive and have excellent mechanical properties. And when using for the base film of a magnetic-recording tape, it is calculated | required that a polyester film has a flat surface without a rough protrusion and a fault. On the other hand, in a coating type magnetic recording tape formed by applying a magnetic layer to a polyester film, a uniform magnetic layer cannot be efficiently produced if the winding property and running property of the base film are unstable. It is required that the polyester film contains a lubricant such as inert particles to form protrusions on the surface. These two requirements are contradictory, and in order to satisfy these requirements, Patent Documents 1 to 6 include specific types of catalysts for reducing surface defects and particles included in the film. The use of a film having few coarse particles and a film with few surface defects subjected to such treatment have been proposed.
また特許文献７には、磁気記録媒体の加工時の搬送性と磁気記録媒体とした時にエラーが少なく電磁変換特性の良好なベースフィルムを粗面層の３種類粒子の適切な選択によって両立できることが提案されている。 In Patent Document 7, it is possible to achieve both the transportability at the time of processing a magnetic recording medium and a base film which has few errors when used as a magnetic recording medium and has good electromagnetic conversion characteristics by appropriate selection of three kinds of particles of the rough surface layer. Proposed.
しかしながら、近年の高密度記録の要求はすさまじく、特に記録容量が１巻あたり１．５ＴＢを超えるようなデータストレージでは、前述の特許文献１〜６で表面欠点がないとされたフィルムや特許文献７でエラーが少ないとされたフィルムでも十分に応えられなくなってきた。 However, the demand for high-density recording in recent years is tremendous. In particular, in data storage in which the recording capacity exceeds 1.5 TB per volume, the film described in Patent Documents 1 to 6 described above having no surface defects or Patent Document 7 However, even films with few errors are no longer able to respond.
本発明の目的は、塗布型磁気記録テープのベースフィルムに用いたとき、優れた電磁変換特性および少ないドロップアウト性能を発現できるポリエステルフィルムを提供することにある。 An object of the present invention is to provide a polyester film that can exhibit excellent electromagnetic conversion characteristics and low dropout performance when used as a base film of a coating type magnetic recording tape.
本発明者らは上記課題を解決しようと鋭意研究したところ、前述の特許文献１〜６では平坦層側の微小な表面欠点しか着目しておらず、また特許文献７では粗面層側の突起に着目しているものの、上記のような近年の高密度記録化が進んだ状況では、該ベースフィルムをロール状態に保管後、加工すると粗面層側の転写により発現するような極めて微小な表面欠陥による問題が未解決のため、より高記録容量データストレージ用記録媒体としては十分な性能を有していないことを見出した。 As a result of diligent research to solve the above-mentioned problems, the inventors of the present invention focus on only a minute surface defect on the flat layer side in the above-mentioned Patent Documents 1 to 6, and in Patent Document 7 a protrusion on the rough surface layer side. However, in the situation where high-density recording has progressed in recent years as described above, an extremely minute surface that is manifested by transfer on the rough surface layer side when the base film is stored in a roll state and then processed. Since the problem due to the defect has not been solved, the present inventors have found that the recording medium for higher storage capacity data storage does not have sufficient performance.
そこで、本研究者らは高密度記録化が進んだ状況下でのドロップアウト性能と粗面層側の突起形状に着目したところ、高さが６０ｎｍ以上で且つ面積が１５０ｎｍ２以上の突起が非常に密接な関係を有することを見出し、含有させる不活性粒子を適正な設計とすることで、例えば記憶容量が１．５ＴＢ以上である塗布型磁気記録テープのベースフィルムに用いても優れた電磁変換特性を発現できることを見出し、本発明に到達した。 Therefore, the present researchers focused on the dropout performance and the shape of the protrusion on the rough surface layer under the circumstances where high-density recording has advanced, and protrusions with a height of 60 nm or more and an area of 150 nm 2 or more are extremely Electromagnetic conversion excellent even when used for, for example, a base film of a coating-type magnetic recording tape having a storage capacity of 1.5 TB or more The inventors have found that the characteristics can be expressed, and have reached the present invention.
かくして本発明によれば、塗布型磁気記録テープに用いるベースフィルムであって、非接触式三次元表面粗さ計を用いて測定倍率２５倍で測定した表面粗さと突起数が、磁性層を形成する側の表面は表面粗さ（ＲａＡ）が４ｎｍ未満であり、他方磁性層を形成しない側の表面は、表面粗さ（ＲａＢ）が４〜１０ｎｍの範囲であり、高さが６０ｎｍ以上で且つ面積が１５０ｎｍ２以上の突起が、２０個／０．０６ｍｍ２以下である積層ポリエステルフィルムが提供される。 Thus, according to the present invention, it is a base film used for a coating type magnetic recording tape, and the surface roughness and the number of protrusions measured at a measurement magnification of 25 times using a non-contact type three-dimensional surface roughness meter form a magnetic layer. The surface on the side to be processed has a surface roughness (RaA) of less than 4 nm, while the surface on the side not forming the magnetic layer has a surface roughness (RaB) in the range of 4 to 10 nm, a height of 60 nm or more, and A laminated polyester film having an area of 150 nm 2 or more and 20 pieces / 0.06 mm 2 or less is provided.
また、本発明の好ましい態様として、さらにポリエステルがエチレンテレフタレートまたはエチレン−２，６−ナフタレンジカルボキシレートであること、磁性層を形成しない側の表面が高さ３０ｎｍ以上の突起が７００個／０．０６ｍｍ２未満であること、磁性層を形成しない側の表面を形成するポリエステルは、粒径０．４μｍを超える不活性粒子の含有量が０．０２重量％未満であること、磁性層を形成しない側の表面を形成するポリエステルは、粒径０．０５μｍの不活性粒子の含有量が０．６重量％未満であること、磁性層を形成する側の表面を形成するポリエステルは、粒径０．１５μｍを超える不活性粒子の含有量が０．01重量％未満であること、磁性層を形成する側の表面を形成するポリエステルは、粒径０．０５〜０．１５μｍの不活性粒子の含有量が、０．００５〜０．４重量％の範囲であること、幅方向の温度膨張係数が−５〜１ｐｐｍの範囲にあることの少なくともいずれかを具備する積層ポリエステルフィルム、ならびに上記いずれかに記載の積層ポリエステルフィルムと、その磁性層を形成する側の表面に塗設により形成された磁性層とからなる塗布型磁気記録テープも提供される。 As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the polyester is ethylene terephthalate or ethylene-2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylate, and the surface on the side where the magnetic layer is not formed has 700 protrusions having a height of 30 nm or more. The polyester forming the surface on which the magnetic layer is not formed is less than 06 mm 2 , the content of inert particles having a particle size of more than 0.4 μm is less than 0.02% by weight, and the magnetic layer is not formed.

Those having carboxylate as the main repeating unit are preferred. The term “main” as used herein means preferably 80 mol% or more, and more preferably 90 mol% or more.
また、より環境変化に対する寸法安定性を向上させる観点から、国際公開２００８／０９６６１２号パンフレットに記載された６，６’−（エチレンジオキシ）ジ−２−ナフトエ酸成分、６，６’−（トリメチレンジオキシ）ジ−２−ナフトエ酸成分および６，６’−（ブチレンジオキシ）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したものも挙げられる。好ましい（アルキレンジオキシ）ジ−２−ナフトエ酸成分の共重合量は、全ジカルボン酸成分のモル数を基準として、５〜４０モル％の範囲である。 Further, from the viewpoint of further improving the dimensional stability against environmental changes, the 6,6 ′-(ethylenedioxy) di-2-naphthoic acid component described in International Publication No. 2008/096612 pamphlet, 6,6 ′-( 6,6 ′-(alkylenedioxy) di-2-naphthoic acid components such as trimethylenedioxy) di-2-naphthoic acid component and 6,6 ′-(butylenedioxy) di-2-naphthoic acid component The thing copolymerized is also mentioned. The copolymerization amount of the preferred (alkylenedioxy) di-2-naphthoic acid component is in the range of 5 to 40 mol% based on the number of moles of all dicarboxylic acid components.
本発明におけるポリエステルは、６，６’−（アルキレンジオキシ）ジ−２−ナフトエ酸成分を含有しない場合はο−クロロフェノール中、３５℃において、６，６’−（アルキレンジオキシ）ジ−２−ナフトエ酸成分を含有する場合はＰ−クロロフェノール／１，１，２，２−テトラクロロエタン（４０／６０重量比）の混合溶媒中、３５℃において、測定したときの固有粘度が０．４０ｄｌ／ｇ以上であることが好ましく、０．４０〜１．０ｄｌ／ｇであることがさらに好ましい。固有粘度が０．４ｄｌ／ｇ未満ではフィルム製膜時に切断が多発したり、成形加工後の製品の強度が不足することがある。一方固有粘度が１．０ｄｌ／ｇを超える場合は重合時の生産性が低下する。 When the polyester in the present invention does not contain a 6,6 ′-(alkylenedioxy) di-2-naphthoic acid component, it is 6,6 ′-(alkylenedioxy) di- in o-chlorophenol at 35 ° C. When the 2-naphthoic acid component is contained, the intrinsic viscosity when measured in a mixed solvent of P-chlorophenol / 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (40/60 weight ratio) at 35 ° C. is 0. It is preferably 40 dl / g or more, more preferably 0.40 to 1.0 dl / g. If the intrinsic viscosity is less than 0.4 dl / g, cutting may occur frequently during film formation, or the strength of the product after forming may be insufficient. On the other hand, when the intrinsic viscosity exceeds 1.0 dl / g, productivity during polymerization is lowered.
本発明におけるポリエステルの融点は、２００〜３００℃であることが好ましく、更に好ましくは２１０〜２９０℃、特に好ましくは２２０〜２８０℃である。融点が下限に満たないと二軸配向フィルムの耐熱性が不十分な場合があり、融点が上限を超える場合は後述は溶融混練する際の温度が非常に高温になり、熱劣化などを引き起こしやすくなる。 The melting point of the polyester in the present invention is preferably 200 to 300 ° C, more preferably 210 to 290 ° C, and particularly preferably 220 to 280 ° C.

Copolymerization may be carried out in the following range, and other thermoplastic resins and the like may be blended in a range of, for example, 20% by weight or less, and further 10% by weight or less.
ところで、本発明の積層ポリエステルフィルムは、上述のポリエステルから製造できるが、搬送や巻取りなどの特性を実用上問題ない範囲で維持しつつ、データストレージにしたときの電磁変換特性を高度に維持させる観点から、磁性層を形成する側の表面は、表面粗さ（ＲａＡ）が４ｎｍ未満にあることが必要である。更に巻取性と電磁変換特性とをより高度に両立しやすいことから、好ましいＲａＡは、１〜３．７ｎｍ、さらに２〜３．５ｎｍの範囲である。 By the way, although the laminated polyester film of the present invention can be produced from the above-mentioned polyester, it maintains a high level of electromagnetic conversion characteristics when data storage is performed while maintaining characteristics such as conveyance and winding within a practically acceptable range. From the viewpoint, the surface on the side on which the magnetic layer is formed needs to have a surface roughness (RaA) of less than 4 nm. Furthermore, since it is easy to make winding property and electromagnetic conversion characteristics compatible with each other to a higher degree, preferable RaA is in the range of 1 to 3.7 nm, and more preferably in the range of 2 to 3.5 nm.
また、本発明の積層ポリエステルフィルムは、上述の表面粗さ（ＲａＡ）を具備させる観点から、磁性層を形成する側の表面を形成するポリエステルは、不活性粒子を含有しないか、含有するとしても、粒径０．１５μｍを超える不活性粒子の含有量が０．01重量％未満であることが好ましく、また粒径０．０５〜０．１５μｍ、さらに０．０７〜０．１４μｍの不活性粒子を、該表面を形成するポリエステルの重量を基準として、０．００５〜０．４重量％、さらに０．００７〜０．３重量％、特に０．０１〜０．２重量％の範囲で含有することが好ましい。なお、ここでいう不活性粒子を含有しないとは、平均粒径０．０５μｍ以上の不活性粒子の含有量が０．００５重量％未満であることを意味する。 Further, from the viewpoint of providing the above-mentioned surface roughness (RaA), the polyester forming the surface on which the magnetic layer is formed does not contain or contains inert particles in the laminated polyester film of the present invention. The content of inert particles having a particle size of more than 0.15 μm is preferably less than 0.01% by weight, and the inert particles having a particle size of 0.05 to 0.15 μm, more preferably 0.07 to 0.14 μm. In the range of 0.005 to 0.4% by weight, more preferably 0.007 to 0.3% by weight, particularly 0.01 to 0.2% by weight, based on the weight of the polyester forming the surface. It is preferable. The term “not containing inert particles” as used herein means that the content of inert particles having an average particle size of 0.05 μm or more is less than 0.005% by weight.
不活性粒子を含有させる場合については、含有させる不活性粒子はもともと粗大粒子を含まないか含有するとしても極めて少ない不活性粒子が好ましい。
このような粒度分布がシャープなものにしやすく、一次粒子の状態で存在しやすい不活性粒子としては、シリコーン樹脂、架橋アクリル樹脂、架橋ポリエステル、架橋ポリスチレンなどの有機高分子粒子および球状シリカからなる群から選ばれる少なくとも１種の粒子であることが好ましく、特にシリコーン樹脂、架橋ポリスチレンおよび球状シリカからなる群から選ばれる少なくとも１種の粒子であることが好ましい。もちろん、これらの不活性粒子を含有させる場合は、さらに粗大粒子をなくすため、フィルターでのろ過を行ったり、分散剤で不活性粒子の表面を処理したり、押出機での混練を強化することが好ましい。
In the case where the inert particles are contained, the inert particles to be contained are preferably very few inert particles even if they do not originally contain coarse particles or contain them.
Inert particles that tend to have a sharp particle size distribution and are likely to exist in the form of primary particles include organic polymer particles such as silicone resin, crosslinked acrylic resin, crosslinked polyester, crosslinked polystyrene, and spherical silica. It is preferably at least one kind of particles selected from the group consisting of at least one kind selected from the group consisting of silicone resin, crosslinked polystyrene and spherical silica. Of course, when these inert particles are contained, in order to further eliminate coarse particles, filtration with a filter, treatment of the surface of the inert particles with a dispersant, and strengthening of kneading with an extruder are performed. Is preferred.
本発明の積層ポリエステルフィルムは、磁性層を形成しない側の表面は、表面粗さ（ＲａＢ）が４〜１０ｎｍの範囲にある必要があり、４〜７ｎｍの範囲にあることが更に好ましい。上述のＲａＢおよび後述の高さが６０ｎｍ以上で且つ面積が１５０ｎｍ２以上の突起の低減を達成するため、粒径が０．４μｍ以上の不活性粒子を、該磁性層を形成しない側の表面を形成するポリエステルの重量を基準として、０．１重量％未満にすることが好ましい。さらに粒径が０．３μｍ以上の不活性粒子を０．０８重量％以下とすることが好ましい。さらに、磁性層を形成しない側の表面は、粒径０．４μｍを超えるの不活性粒子の含有量が０．０２重量％未満であることが好ましく、また粒径０．０５μｍの不活性粒子の含有量が０．６重量％未満であることが好ましく、特に粒径が０．０５μｍ以上０．１４μｍ未満の不活性粒子と、粒径０．１４μｍ以上０．４0μｍ未満、さらに好ましくは０．１４μｍ以上０．３0μｍ未満の不活性粒子をそれぞれ０．１〜０．４重量％未満と０．０１〜０．３重量％の範囲で含有することが好ましい。このような２種類以上の不活性粒子を併用することで、より搬送性と巻取性を高めつつ、磁性層側の表面を平坦に維持しやすい。 In the laminated polyester film of the present invention, the surface on which the magnetic layer is not formed needs to have a surface roughness (RaB) in the range of 4 to 10 nm, and more preferably in the range of 4 to 7 nm. In order to achieve the reduction of the above-described RaB and protrusions having a height of 60 nm or more and an area of 150 nm 2 or more, an inert particle having a particle diameter of 0.4 μm or more is formed on the surface on which the magnetic layer is not formed. It is preferable to make it less than 0.1% by weight based on the weight of the polyester to be formed. Furthermore, it is preferable that the inactive particles having a particle diameter of 0.3 μm or more be 0.08% by weight or less. Further, the surface on the side where the magnetic layer is not formed preferably has a content of inert particles having a particle size of more than 0.4 μm and less than 0.02% by weight. The content is preferably less than 0.6% by weight, in particular, inert particles having a particle size of 0.05 μm or more and less than 0.14 μm, and particle sizes of 0.14 μm or more and less than 0.40 μm, more preferably 0.14 μm. It is preferable to contain inert particles of less than 0.30 μm in the range of less than 0.1 to 0.4% by weight and 0.01 to 0.3% by weight, respectively. By using such two or more kinds of inert particles in combination, it is easy to keep the surface on the magnetic layer side flat while further improving the transportability and the winding property.
上述の磁性層を形成しない側の表面に含有させる不活性粒子としては、ポリマー中で安定的に存在できるものであれば特に制限されず、それ自体公知のものを採用でき、好ましくは前述の磁性層を形成する側の表面で説明したのと同様な不活性粒子であり、粒度分布がシャープなものにしやすく、一次粒子の状態で存在しやすい不活性粒子として、シリコーン樹脂、架橋アクリル樹脂、架橋ポリエステル、架橋ポリスチレンなどの有機高分子粒子および球状シリカからなる群から選ばれる少なくとも１種の粒子であることが好ましく、特にシリコーン樹脂、架橋ポリスチレンおよび球状シリカからなる群から選ばれる少なくとも１種の粒子であることが好ましい。含有させる不活性粒子はもともと粗大粒子を含まないか含有するとしても極めて少ない不活性粒子が好ましく、さらに粗大粒子をなくすため、フィルターでのろ過を行ったり、分散剤で不活性粒子の表面を処理したり、押出機での混練を強化することが好ましい。 The inert particles to be contained on the surface on the side where the magnetic layer is not formed are not particularly limited as long as they can be stably present in the polymer, and those known per se can be adopted, and preferably the above-mentioned magnetic particles are used. Inactive particles similar to those explained on the surface on the layer-forming side, with a sharp particle size distribution, and as inert particles that tend to exist in the form of primary particles, silicone resin, cross-linked acrylic resin, cross-linked It is preferably at least one particle selected from the group consisting of organic polymer particles such as polyester and crosslinked polystyrene and spherical silica, and particularly at least one particle selected from the group consisting of silicone resin, crosslinked polystyrene and spherical silica.

In order to eliminate coarse particles, filtration with a filter or treatment of the surface of the inert particles with a dispersant is performed. It is preferable to strengthen the kneading in the extruder.
つぎに、ポリエステルフィルムの製造方法について説明する。まず、本発明におけるポリエステルの製造方法は、例えば芳香族ジカルボン酸もしくはそのエステル形成性誘導体とアルキ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ポリエステルの前駆体を合成する第一反応と、該前駆体を重縮合反応させる第二反応とからなり、それ自体公知の方法を採用できる。 Below, the manufacturing method of a polyester film is demonstrated. First, the polyester production method of the present invention includes, for example, a first reaction in which an aromatic dicarboxylic acid or an ester-forming derivative thereof and an alkylene glycol are esterified or transesterified to synthesize a polyester precursor, and the precursor It consists of a second reaction in which the product is polycondensed, and a method known per se can be adopted.
好ましい第一反応の条件については、常圧下で行ってもよいが、０．０５ＭＰａ〜０．５ＭＰａの加圧下で行うことが反応速度をより速めやすいことから好ましい。また、第一反応の温度は、２１０℃〜２７０℃の範囲で行うことが好ましい。反応圧力を上記範囲内とすることで反応の進行を進みやすくしつつ、ジアルキレングリコールに代表される副生物の発生を抑制できる。このとき、アルキレングリコール成分は、第一反応を行う反応系に存在する酸成分に対し１．１〜６モル倍用いることが、反応速度及び樹脂の物性維持の点から好ましい。より好ましくは２〜５モル倍、さらに好ましくは３〜５モル倍である。 The preferable first reaction condition may be performed under normal pressure, but it is preferable to perform the reaction under a pressure of 0.05 MPa to 0.5 MPa because the reaction rate can be easily increased. Moreover, it is preferable to perform the temperature of 1st reaction in the range of 210 to 270 degreeC. By making the reaction pressure within the above range, it is possible to suppress the generation of by-products typified by dialkylene glycol while facilitating the progress of the reaction. At this time, the alkylene glycol component is preferably used in an amount of 1.1 to 6 moles relative to the acid component present in the reaction system in which the first reaction is carried out from the viewpoint of maintaining the reaction rate and the physical properties of the resin. More preferably, it is 2-5 mol times, More preferably, it is 3-5 mol times.
また、第一反応の反応速度をより早くするには、それ自体公知の触媒を用いることが好ましく、たとえばＬｉ，Ｎａ，Ｋ，Ｍｇ，Ｃａ，Ｍｎ、Ｃｏ、Ｔｉなどの金属成分を有する金属化合物が好ましく挙げられ、これらの中でも加圧下で行う場合は、反応の進みやすさの点からＭｎやＴｉ化合物が好ましい。特にＴｉ化合物は、さらに重縮合反応触媒としても使用でき、かつ触媒残渣の析出も少ないことから好ましい。本発明で用いるチタン化合物としては、触媒残渣の析出による不溶性粗大異物の発生を抑制する観点からポリエステル中に可溶な有機チタン化合物が好ましい。特に好ましいチタン化合物としては、チタンテトライソプロポキシド、チタンテトラプロポキシド、チタンテトラブトキシド、チタンテトラエトキシド、チタンテトラフェノキシド、トリメリット酸チタンなどを好ましく例示できる。 Further, in order to increase the reaction rate of the first reaction, it is preferable to use a catalyst known per se, for example, a metal compound having a metal component such as Li, Na, K, Mg, Ca, Mn, Co, and Ti. Among these, when performing under pressure, Mn and Ti compounds are preferable from the viewpoint of easy progress of the reaction. In particular, a Ti compound is preferable because it can be used as a polycondensation reaction catalyst, and the catalyst residue is less precipitated. The titanium compound used in the present invention is preferably an organic titanium compound that is soluble in polyester from the viewpoint of suppressing the generation of insoluble coarse particles due to precipitation of catalyst residues. Particularly preferable examples of the titanium compound include titanium tetraisopropoxide, titanium tetrapropoxide, titanium tetrabutoxide, titanium tetraethoxide, titanium tetraphenoxide, and trimellitic acid titanium.
添加する触媒量は、第一反応中に存在する全酸成分のモル数を基準として、金属元素換算で、１０〜１５０ミリモル％の範囲にあることが好ましく、さらに２０〜１００ミリモル％、特に３０〜７０ミリモル％の範囲にあることが反応速度を促進しつつ、触媒起因の粗大不溶性異物の生成を抑制でき、さらに得られる共重合芳香族ポリエステルの耐熱性を高度に維持できることから好ましい。なお、チタン化合物を添加する場合の添加時期は、第一反応のエステル化反応開始時から存在するように添加し、前述のとおり、引き続き重縮合反応触媒として使用することが好ましい。もちろん、重縮合反応速度をコントロールする目的で２回以上に分けて添加してもよい。 The amount of catalyst to be added is preferably in the range of 10 to 150 mmol%, more preferably 20 to 100 mmol%, especially 30, in terms of metal elements, based on the number of moles of all acid components present in the first reaction. It is preferable to be in the range of ˜70 mmol% because the reaction rate can be promoted, the formation of coarse insoluble foreign matters due to the catalyst can be suppressed, and the heat resistance of the resulting copolymerized aromatic polyester can be maintained at a high level. In addition, when adding a titanium compound, it is preferable to add so that it may exist from the time of the esterification reaction start of a 1st reaction, and as above-mentioned, it uses continuously as a polycondensation reaction catalyst. Of course, it may be added in two or more times for the purpose of controlling the polycondensation reaction rate.
つぎに、第一反応で得られた前駆体を重縮合反応させる第二反応について説明する。
本発明では、得られるポリエステルに、高度の熱安定性を付与させる目的で、第二反応における重縮合反応の開始以前に、反応系にリン化合物からなる熱安定剤を添加することが好ましい。具体的なリン化合物としては、化合物中にリン元素を有するものであれば特に限定されず、例えば、リン酸、亜リン酸、リン酸トリメチルエステル、リン酸トリブチルエステル、リン酸トリフェニルエステル、リン酸モノメチルエステル、リン酸ジメチルエステル、フェニルホスホン酸、フェニルホスホン酸ジメチルエステル、フェニルホスホン酸ジエチルエステル、リン酸アンモニウム、トリエチルホスホノアセテート、メチルジエチルホスホノアセテートなどを挙げることができ、これらのリン化合物は二種以上を併用してもよい。なお、リン化合物の添加時期は、第一反応が実質的に終了してから第二反応である重縮合反応初期の間に行うことが好ましく、添加は一度に行ってもよいし、２回以上に分割して行ってもよい。
Next, the second reaction in which the precursor obtained in the first reaction is polycondensed will be described.
In the present invention, for the purpose of imparting a high degree of thermal stability to the obtained polyester, it is preferable to add a thermal stabilizer composed of a phosphorus compound to the reaction system before the start of the polycondensation reaction in the second reaction. The specific phosphorus compound is not particularly limited as long as it has a phosphorus element in the compound. For example, phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, phosphoric acid trimethyl ester, phosphoric acid tributyl ester, phosphoric acid triphenyl ester, phosphorus Acid monomethyl ester, phosphoric acid dimethyl ester, phenylphosphonic acid, phenylphosphonic acid dimethyl ester, phenylphosphonic acid diethyl ester, ammonium phosphate, triethylphosphonoacetate, methyldiethylphosphonoacetate, etc., and these phosphorus compounds May use 2 or more types together. The addition timing of the phosphorus compound is preferably performed during the initial stage of the polycondensation reaction, which is the second reaction after the first reaction is substantially completed, and the addition may be performed at one time or two or more times. You may divide into.
ところで、重縮合反応の温度は２７０℃〜３００℃の範囲で行い、重縮合反応中の圧力は５０Ｐａ以下の減圧下で行うのが好ましい。重縮合反応中の圧力が上限より高いと重縮合反応に要する時間が長くなり且つ重合度の高い共重合芳香族ポリエステルを得ることが困難になる。重縮合触媒としては、それ自体公知のＴｉ，Ａｌ，Ｓｂ，Ｇｅなどの金属化合物を好適に使用でき、それらの中でもエステル化反応やエステル交換反応時に添加されたチタン化合物を引き続き使用することが触媒残渣による不溶性粗大異物の発生を抑制できることから好ましい。 By the way, the polycondensation reaction is preferably performed at a temperature in the range of 270 ° C. to 300 ° C., and the pressure during the polycondensation reaction is preferably performed under a reduced pressure of 50 Pa or less. If the pressure during the polycondensation reaction is higher than the upper limit, the time required for the polycondensation reaction becomes long and it becomes difficult to obtain a copolymerized aromatic polyester having a high degree of polymerization. As the polycondensation catalyst, known metal compounds such as Ti, Al, Sb, and Ge can be suitably used, and among them, it is a catalyst that the titanium compound added at the time of esterification reaction or transesterification reaction is used continuously. This is preferable because generation of insoluble coarse foreign matters due to the residue can be suppressed.
また、不活性粒子を含有させる方法については、アルキレングリコールのスラリー状態として、さらにフィルターなどによって粗大粒子を低減し、それを重合工程で添加して粒子含有量が０．０２〜１．０重量％の粒子含有マスターポリエステルを作成し、該マスターポリエステルを、粒子を含有しないポリエステルで希釈するのが、不活性粒子の凝集による粗大突起を低減する上で好ましい。 In addition, for the method of containing inert particles, as an alkylene glycol slurry state, coarse particles are further reduced by a filter or the like, and added in a polymerization step, whereby the particle content is 0.02 to 1.0% by weight. In order to reduce coarse protrusions due to aggregation of inert particles, it is preferable to prepare a particle-containing master polyester and dilute the master polyester with a polyester not containing particles.
このようにして得られるポリエステルは、本発明の効果を阻害しない範囲で、紫外線吸収剤等の安定剤、酸化防止剤、可塑剤、ワックスなどの滑剤、難燃剤、離型剤、核剤、を必要に応じて配合しても良い。なお、磁性層を形成しない側の表面にある高さが６０ｎｍ以上で且つ面積が１５０ｎｍ２以上の突起を低減する観点から、表面欠点を形成しやすいポリエステルと非相溶な他の熱可塑性ポリマー、顔料、充填剤、ガラス繊維、炭素繊維、層状ケイ酸塩などは含有させないことが好ましい。 The polyester thus obtained contains a stabilizer such as an ultraviolet absorber, a lubricant such as an antioxidant, a plasticizer, and a wax, a flame retardant, a release agent, and a nucleating agent as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. You may mix | blend as needed. In addition, from the viewpoint of reducing protrusions having a height of 60 nm or more and an area of 150 nm 2 or more on the surface on the side where the magnetic layer is not formed, other thermoplastic polymer incompatible with polyester that easily forms surface defects, It is preferable not to contain pigments, fillers, glass fibers, carbon fibers, layered silicates, and the like.
ところで、本発明の積層ポリエステルフィルムは、その磁性層を形成しない側の表面に、高さが６０ｎｍ以上で且つ面積１５０ｎｍ２以上の突起が、２０個／０．０６ｍｍ２以下であることが必要である。更には１０個／０．０６ｍｍ２以下であることが好ましい。また、本発明の積層ポリエステルフィルムは、その磁性層を形成しない側の表面に、高さが３０ｎｍ以上の突起が７００個／０．０６ｍｍ２未満、更には４００個／０．０６ｍｍ２未満の範囲にあることが好ましい。 By the way, the laminated polyester film of the present invention requires that the number of protrusions having a height of 60 nm or more and an area of 150 nm 2 or more be 20 / 0.06 mm 2 or less on the surface on which the magnetic layer is not formed. is there. Further, it is preferably 10 pieces / 0.06 mm 2 or less. Further, the laminated polyester film of the present invention has a protrusion having a height of 30 nm or more on the surface on which the magnetic layer is not formed, less than 700 / 0.06 mm 2 , and more preferably less than 400 / 0.06 mm 2. It is preferable that it exists in.
上述したポリエステルフィルムの粗面層側に特定範囲以上の高さを有する突起は、ベースフィルムの搬送性には有利であり、ベースフィルムの製造時および、または塗布型磁気記録テープへの加工時には生産性を良好にする点で好ましい。ただ、あまりにも小さくこれまで問題ないと考えられていたが、このような突起でもロール状態で保管して使用した場合、粗面側の突起形状が平坦面側に転写し、軽微な凹み状欠点を発生させ、これが近年の磁気記憶容量の増大に伴い、磁性層を塗布した後でも、特にドロップアウトやエラーレートの点で悪影響を及ぼすことを見出したのである。そして、このような警備な凹み状欠点は、粗面層側に配する不活性微粒子の種類、大きさ、含有量を最適化するだけでは不十分であった。 The above-mentioned protrusion having a height exceeding a specific range on the rough surface layer side of the polyester film is advantageous for the transportability of the base film, and is produced at the time of manufacturing the base film and / or processing to the coating type magnetic recording tape. From the viewpoint of improving the properties. However, it was thought that there was no problem so far, but when these protrusions were stored and used in roll form, the protrusion shape on the rough surface side was transferred to the flat surface side, resulting in slight dent-like defects. As a result of the recent increase in magnetic storage capacity, it has been found that even after the magnetic layer is applied, it has an adverse effect particularly in terms of dropout and error rate. Further, such a guard-like dent-like defect is not sufficient only by optimizing the kind, size and content of the inert fine particles disposed on the rough surface layer side.
そこで、本発明者らは、特に転写後に問題となる高さ６０ｎｍ以上で且つ面積１５０ｎｍ２以上の突起、さらに好ましくは高さが３０ｎｍ以上の突起にも着目し、その低減を鋭意検討した結果、前述した粗面側のポリエステルに含有される不活性粒子を所望の範囲に選択し、前述の第２フイルターの濾過を製膜する際の溶融押出工程で適用することにより再凝集などによって生成することを低減させることに加え、後述のフィルム製造時の横方向の延伸温度を通常よりもマイルドな条件として且つ、延伸倍率も通常よりも高倍率とすることで達成できることを見出したのである。 Therefore, the present inventors have paid particular attention to protrusions having a height of 60 nm or more and an area of 150 nm 2 or more, more preferably protrusions having a height of 30 nm or more, which are problematic after transfer. The inert particles contained in the rough side polyester described above are selected within a desired range, and the second filter is applied by the melt extrusion process when forming the film by re-aggregation or the like. In addition to reducing the above, it has been found that it can be achieved by setting the stretching temperature in the transverse direction at the time of film production described below to a milder condition than usual and by setting the stretching ratio to a higher ratio than usual.
本発明の二軸配向積層ポリエステルフィルムは、例えば、ポリエステルＡ層用のポリマーと、反対面を形成するポリエステルＢ層用のポリマーとを用意し、これらを溶融状態で積層してダイからシート状に共押出する工程、得られたシート状物を冷却固化することで、積層未延伸ポリエステルフィルムとする工程、そして得られた積層未延伸ポリエステルフィルムを製膜方向と幅方向に延伸することで製造できる。溶融状態で押し出す工程での温度は、未溶融物がなく、過度にポリエステルの熱劣化が進まない温度であれば特に制限されず、例えば、ポリエステルの融点（Ｔｍ：℃）ないし（Ｔｍ＋７０）℃の温度で行うことが好ましい。つぎに、冷却については、得られる積層未延伸ポリエステルフィルムの平坦性を維持しつつ、厚み斑も少なくするために、フィルム製膜方向に沿って回転するダイの下方に設置された冷却ドラムを用い、それにシート状物を密着させて冷却するのが好ましい。つづいて、延伸については、積層未延伸ポリエステルフィルムを、一軸方向（縦方向または横方向）に（ポリエステルのガラス転移温度（Ｔｇ）−１０）℃〜（Ｔｇ＋７０）℃の温度で２．５倍以上、好ましくは３倍以上の倍率で延伸し、次いで上記延伸方向と直交する方向にＴｇ〜（Ｔｇ＋７０）℃の温度で２．５倍以上、好ましくは３倍以上の倍率で延伸するのが好ましい。この際、前述した粗面側の高くて大きな突起を低減させる為に、横延伸温度は、（Ｔｇ＋１０）〜（Ｔｇ＋５０℃）の範囲で延伸させることが望ましい。また、同時に横方向に５倍以上の倍率で延伸することが望ましい。横延伸温度がＴｇに対して高すぎたり、若しくは低すぎたりすると過度な延伸時応力が不活性粒子に集中し、その結果、粒子周辺のボイドが大きくなることで突起が高く且つ、大きなものとなり、本発明を達成できなくなる。一方、上述した温度領域でマイルドに横延伸させた場合、同時に横延伸倍率を通常よりも高くすることで粗面層側を平坦化させることができ、その結果、所望の高さと大きさを有する突起を形成することが可能になる。 The biaxially oriented laminated polyester film of the present invention is prepared, for example, by preparing a polymer for the polyester A layer and a polymer for the polyester B layer forming the opposite surface, and laminating these in a molten state to form a sheet from a die. The step of co-extrusion, the step of forming a laminated unstretched polyester film by cooling and solidifying the obtained sheet-like material, and the resulting laminated unstretched polyester film can be produced by stretching in the film forming direction and the width direction. . The temperature in the process of extruding in a molten state is not particularly limited as long as there is no unmelted material and the temperature of the polyester does not excessively deteriorate. For example, the melting point of the polyester (Tm: ° C.) to (Tm + 70) ° C. It is preferable to carry out at temperature. Next, for cooling, in order to reduce the thickness unevenness while maintaining the flatness of the obtained laminated unstretched polyester film, a cooling drum installed under the die rotating along the film forming direction is used. It is preferable to cool the sheet-like material in close contact with it. Next, for stretching, the laminated unstretched polyester film is uniaxially (longitudinal or transverse) (polyester glass transition temperature (Tg) −10) ° C. to (Tg + 70) ° C. at a temperature of 2.5 times or more. It is preferable that the film is stretched at a magnification of 3 times or more, and then stretched at a temperature of Tg to (Tg + 70) ° C. at a temperature of 2.5 times or more, preferably at a magnification of 3 times or more in the direction orthogonal to the stretching direction. At this time, in order to reduce the above-described high and large protrusions on the rough surface side, it is desirable that the transverse stretching temperature is stretched in the range of (Tg + 10) to (Tg + 50 ° C.). At the same time, it is desirable to stretch in the transverse direction at a magnification of 5 times or more. If the transverse stretching temperature is too high or too low with respect to Tg, excessive stretching stress concentrates on the inert particles, and as a result, the voids around the particles become large and the protrusions are high and large. The present invention cannot be achieved. On the other hand, when mildly stretched in the temperature range described above, the rough surface layer side can be flattened by simultaneously increasing the transverse stretch ratio higher than usual, and as a result, it has a desired height and size. Protrusions can be formed.
さらに必要に応じて縦方向および／または横方向に再度延伸してもよい。このように延伸したときの全延伸倍率は、面積延伸倍率（縦方向の延伸倍率×横方向の延伸倍率）として９倍以上が好ましく、１２〜３５倍がさらに好ましく、１５〜３０倍が特に好ましい。さらにまた、二軸配向フィルムは、（Ｔｇ＋７０）〜（Ｔｇ−１０）℃の温度で熱固定することができ、例えば１８０〜２５０℃で熱固定するのが好ましい。熱固定時間は１〜６０秒が好ましい。また、前述の延伸は逐次二軸延伸で説明したが、縦方向と横方向に同時に延伸する同時二軸延伸を用いても良い。 Further, if necessary, the film may be stretched again in the machine direction and / or the transverse direction. The total draw ratio when stretched in this way is preferably 9 times or more, more preferably 12 to 35 times, and particularly preferably 15 to 30 times as an area draw ratio (longitudinal draw ratio x transverse draw ratio). . Furthermore, the biaxially oriented film can be heat-set at a temperature of (Tg + 70) to (Tg-10) ° C., for example, preferably heat-set at 180 to 250 ° C. The heat setting time is preferably 1 to 60 seconds. Moreover, although the above-mentioned extending | stretching was demonstrated by sequential biaxial stretching, you may use simultaneous biaxial stretching which extends | stretches simultaneously in the vertical direction and a horizontal direction.
本発明の積層ポリエステルフィルムは、高密度磁気記録テープのベースフィルムとして用いた際に優れた寸法安定性を発現するために、長手方向のヤング率が３〜１０ＧＰａ、さらに３．５〜９ＧＰａ、特に４〜８ＧＰａであることが好ましい。一方、幅方向のヤング率は、ベースフィルムでの温度膨張係数を後述の範囲とさせやすい観点から、４〜１５ＧＰａ、さらに５〜１４ＧＰａ、特に６〜１３ＧＰａ、もっとも好ましくは７〜１１ＧＰａの範囲であることが好ましい。幅方向のヤング率が下限未満では、磁気記録テープとしたときの温度膨張係数を小さくすることが困難となり、他方上限を超えると、磁気記録テープとしたときの温度膨張係数が過度に小さくなってしまう。 The laminated polyester film of the present invention has a Young's modulus in the longitudinal direction of 3 to 10 GPa, more preferably 3.5 to 9 GPa, particularly in order to develop excellent dimensional stability when used as a base film of a high-density magnetic recording tape. It is preferably 4 to 8 GPa. On the other hand, the Young's modulus in the width direction is 4 to 15 GPa, more preferably 5 to 14 GPa, particularly 6 to 13 GPa, most preferably 7 to 11 GPa, from the viewpoint of easily setting the temperature expansion coefficient of the base film to the range described later. It is preferable. If the Young's modulus in the width direction is less than the lower limit, it is difficult to reduce the temperature expansion coefficient when the magnetic recording tape is used. On the other hand, if the upper limit is exceeded, the temperature expansion coefficient when the magnetic recording tape is used becomes excessively small. End up.
本発明の積層ポリエステルフィルムは、その幅方向の温度膨張係数が、１ｐｐｍ／℃以下〜−５ｐｐｍ／℃以上の範囲にあることが好ましい。より好ましい磁気記録媒体用支持体の幅方向の温度膨張係数は、上限が０．５ｐｍ／℃以下であり、下限が−４ｐｐｍ／℃以上、さらに−３ｐｐｍ／℃以上である。一般的に磁気記録装置に用いられている磁気ヘッドの温度膨張係数は７ｐｐｍ／℃前後である。積層ポリエステルフィルムの幅方向の温度膨張係数が上限を超える場合には、磁気テープとしたときの幅方向の温度膨張が磁気ヘッドの温度膨張よりも大きくなりすぎるため、磁気データを記録・再生する環境が低温から高温に変化した際に、テープの幅方向に磁気ヘッドに対して相対的に膨張し、再生不良を起こしやすい。また、積層ポリエステルフィルムの幅方向の温度膨張係数が下限より小さい場合には、フィルムの温度膨張が磁気ヘッドの温度膨張よりも小さすぎるため、低温から高温に変化した際に、テープの幅方向に磁気ヘッドに対して相対的に収縮し、再生不良を起こしやすくなる。 The laminated polyester film of the present invention preferably has a temperature expansion coefficient in the width direction of 1 ppm / ° C. or less to −5 ppm / ° C. or more. A more preferable temperature expansion coefficient in the width direction of the support for magnetic recording media has an upper limit of 0.5 pm / ° C. or lower, a lower limit of −4 ppm / ° C. or higher, and further −3 ppm / ° C. or higher. Generally, the temperature expansion coefficient of a magnetic head used in a magnetic recording apparatus is around 7 ppm / ° C. When the temperature expansion coefficient in the width direction of the laminated polyester film exceeds the upper limit, the temperature expansion in the width direction when used as a magnetic tape is too much larger than the temperature expansion of the magnetic head. When the temperature changes from a low temperature to a high temperature, the tape expands relative to the magnetic head in the width direction of the tape and easily causes a reproduction failure. Also, if the temperature expansion coefficient in the width direction of the laminated polyester film is smaller than the lower limit, the temperature expansion of the film is too small than the temperature expansion of the magnetic head, so when the temperature changes from low to high, It contracts relative to the magnetic head and tends to cause reproduction failure.
本発明の積層ポリエステルフィルムの全厚みは、２．０〜８μｍが好ましい。より好ましくは２．５〜７μｍ、さらに好ましくは３〜６μｍ、特に好ましくは３．５〜５．５μｍである。厚みが下限より小さい場合は、テープに腰がなくなるため、電磁変換特性が低下する。厚みが上限を超える場合は、テープ１巻あたりのテープ長さが短くなるため、磁気テープの小型化、高容量化が困難になりやすい。 The total thickness of the laminated polyester film of the present invention is preferably 2.0 to 8 μm. More preferably, it is 2.5-7 micrometers, More preferably, it is 3-6 micrometers, Most preferably, it is 3.5-5.5 micrometers. When the thickness is smaller than the lower limit, the tape becomes dull and electromagnetic conversion characteristics deteriorate. When the thickness exceeds the upper limit, the tape length per one tape is shortened, so that it is difficult to reduce the size and increase the capacity of the magnetic tape.
また、本発明の積層ポリエステルフィルムは、磁性層を形成する平坦層側の表面を形成するポリエステル層をＡ層としたとき、その厚みが積層ポリエステルフィルムの厚みに対して、１０〜９０％、さらに２０〜８０％、特に３０〜７０％の範囲にあることが好ましい。Ａ層が全厚に対して下限未満の場合、磁性層を形成しない粗面層側の表面を形成するポリエステル層（Ｂ層）に含まれる粒子の突上げによりウネリなどが発生し、電磁変換特性が悪化しやすくなる。他方、上限以下にすることで、積層ポリエステルフィルムを製膜する際に生じる、製品とならない部分を回収してＢ層に用いることができ、製造コストなどの低減も図ることができる。 The laminated polyester film of the present invention has a thickness of 10 to 90% with respect to the thickness of the laminated polyester film, when the polyester layer forming the surface on the flat layer side forming the magnetic layer is an A layer. It is preferable to be in the range of 20 to 80%, particularly 30 to 70%. When the A layer is less than the lower limit with respect to the total thickness, undulation or the like occurs due to the pushing up of particles contained in the polyester layer (B layer) that forms the surface of the rough surface layer that does not form the magnetic layer, and electromagnetic conversion characteristics Is likely to get worse. On the other hand, by setting it to the upper limit or less, it is possible to collect a portion that does not become a product, which is generated when the laminated polyester film is formed, and use it for the B layer, and it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost and the like.
本発明の積層ポリエステルフィルムは、高密度磁気記録テープ、特にディジタル記録型磁気記録テープのベースフィルムとして好ましく用いられる。そこで、本発明の積層ポリエステルフィルムを用いた磁気記録媒体について、さらに説明する。 The laminated polyester film of the present invention is preferably used as a base film of a high-density magnetic recording tape, particularly a digital recording magnetic recording tape. Therefore, the magnetic recording medium using the laminated polyester film of the present invention will be further described.
本発明の磁気記録媒体は、上述の積層ポリエステルフィルムに磁性層を形成することで製造できる。なお、本発明の積層ポリエステルフィルムの表面には、磁性層などとの接着性を向上させるために、本発明の効果を損なわない範囲で、それ自体公知の易接着機能を有する塗膜層などを形成しても良い。 The magnetic recording medium of the present invention can be produced by forming a magnetic layer on the above-described laminated polyester film. In addition, on the surface of the laminated polyester film of the present invention, in order to improve the adhesiveness with a magnetic layer or the like, a coating layer having a well-known easy-adhesion function, etc., as long as the effect of the present invention is not impaired. It may be formed.
本発明の磁気記録テープにおける磁性層は、鉄または鉄を主成分とする針状微細磁性粉やバリウムフェライトをポリ塩化ビニル、塩化ビニル・酢酸ビニル共重合体等のバインダーに均一分散し、その塗液を塗布して形成したものであり、磁性層の塗布工程およびカレンダー工程での取り扱い性に優れる。 The magnetic layer in the magnetic recording tape of the present invention is prepared by uniformly dispersing iron or acicular fine magnetic powder or barium ferrite in a binder such as polyvinyl chloride or a vinyl chloride / vinyl acetate copolymer. It is formed by applying a liquid, and is excellent in handleability in the magnetic layer coating process and calendar process.
なお、磁性層は、その厚みが１μｍ以下、さらに０．１〜１μｍとなるように塗布するのが、特に短波長領域での出力、Ｓ／Ｎ、Ｃ／Ｎ等の電磁変換特性に優れ、ドロップアウト、エラーレートの少ない高密度記録用塗布型磁気記録テープとする観点から好ましい。また、必要に応じて、塗布型磁性層の下地層として、微細な酸化チタン粒子等を含有する非磁性層を磁性層と同様の有機バインダー中に分散し、塗設することも好ましい。 In addition, it is excellent in electromagnetic conversion characteristics such as output in a short wavelength region, S / N, C / N, etc., particularly when the magnetic layer is applied so that the thickness is 1 μm or less, and further 0.1 to 1 μm. This is preferable from the viewpoint of a coating type magnetic recording tape for high density recording with low dropout and error rate. If necessary, it is also preferable to disperse and coat a nonmagnetic layer containing fine titanium oxide particles or the like in the same organic binder as that of the magnetic layer as the underlayer of the coating type magnetic layer.
また、磁性層の表面には、目的、用途、必要に応じてダイアモンドライクカーボン（ＤＬＣ）等の保護層、含フッ素カルボン酸系潤滑層を順次設け、さらに他方の表面に、公知のバックコート層を設けてもよい。
このようにして得られる塗布型磁気記録テープは、データ８ミリ、ＤＤＳＩＶ、ＤＬＴ、Ｓ−ＤＬＴ、ＬＴＯ等のデータ用途の磁気テープとして極めて有用である。
Further, a protective layer such as diamond-like carbon (DLC) and a fluorine-containing carboxylic acid-based lubricating layer are sequentially provided on the surface of the magnetic layer as required, and a known backcoat layer is provided on the other surface. May be provided.
The coating type magnetic recording tape thus obtained is extremely useful as a magnetic tape for data use such as data 8 mm, DDSIV, DLT, S-DLT, LTO and the like.
以下に実施例及び比較例を挙げ、本発明をより具体的に説明する。なお、本発明におけるポリエステル、ポリエステルフィルムおよびデータストレージの特性は、下記の方法で測定および評価した。 Hereinafter, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples and comparative examples. In addition, the characteristic of the polyester in this invention, the polyester film, and data storage was measured and evaluated by the following method.
（１）固有粘度
