Description

  The present invention relates to a release film for producing a ceramic green sheet. More specifically, the present invention relates to a release film for producing a ceramic green sheet that can achieve both good winding properties and prevention of pinholes and partial thickness variations even when the ceramic green sheet is thinned.

  Conventionally, the release film for producing ceramic green sheets is stored in a rolled state by making the surface roughness of the surface (back surface) opposite to the surface provided with the release agent layer of the base film relatively rough. A technique is disclosed that eliminates problems such as sticking (blocking) of the release film for producing a ceramic green sheet when it is applied (see, for example, Patent Document 1). However, such a conventional technique has a problem that pinholes and partial thickness variations occur due to large protrusions.

  In order to reduce the height of the protrusion, a technique for preventing the pinhole and the partial thickness variation from occurring in the ceramic green sheet by filling the protrusion on the back surface with the coating layer is disclosed (for example, , See Patent Document 2). However, according to such a conventional technique, although the protrusion height is low, the protrusion density is low, so the pressure applied to the protrusion is large, and when the ceramic green sheet is further thinned, pinholes are generated. there were.

Moreover, in order to promote a crosslinking reaction, a catalyst etc. can be used suitably as needed.

(Particles in the easy-to-slip coating layer)
The slippery coating layer preferably contains lubricant particles in order to impart slipperiness to the surface. The particles may be inorganic particles or organic particles, and are not particularly limited.

When mixing small particles and large particles, it is preferable that the mass content of the small particles is larger than the mass content of the large particles with respect to the entire solid content of the coating layer.

  The average particle size of the particles is measured by observing particles in the cross section of the processed film with a transmission electron microscope or a scanning electron microscope, observing 100 non-aggregated particles, and using the average value for the average particle size. It was performed by the method of making the diameter.

  The shape of the particle is not particularly limited as long as it satisfies the object of the present invention, and spherical particles and non-spherical particles can be used. The particle diameter of the irregular shaped particles can be calculated as the equivalent circle diameter. The equivalent circle diameter is a value obtained by dividing the observed area of the particle by π and calculating the square root to double.

  As a method for measuring the content of particles contained in the easy-to-slip coating layer, for example, when the easy-coating layer contains an organic resin and inorganic particles, the following method can be used. First, the slippery coating layer provided on the processed film is extracted from the processed film using a solvent or the like and dried to take out the slippery coating layer. Next, only the inorganic component can be obtained by applying heat to the resulting slippery coating layer and burning off the organic component contained in the slippery coating layer with heat. By measuring the weight of the resulting inorganic component and the easy-to-slip coating layer before burning off, the mass% of the particles contained in the easy-to-slip coating layer can be measured. At this time, measurement can be performed with high accuracy by using a commercially available differential heat / thermogravimetric simultaneous measurement device.

(Additive in easy-to-slip coating layer)
In order to impart other functionality to the slippery coating layer, various additives may be contained within a range that does not impair the coating appearance. Examples of the additive include fluorescent dyes, fluorescent brighteners, plasticizers, ultraviolet absorbers, pigment dispersants, foam suppressors, antifoaming agents, and preservatives.

  The easy-slip coating layer may contain a surfactant for the purpose of improving leveling properties during coating and defoaming the coating solution. The surfactant may be any of cationic, anionic, and nonionic surfactants, but is preferably a silicone, acetylene glycol, or fluorine surfactant. These surfactants are preferably contained in the coating layer in such a range that the appearance of the coating does not become abnormal when added excessively.

  As the coating method, both a so-called in-line coating method in which a polyester base film is simultaneously formed and a so-called off-line coating method in which a polyester base film is formed and then separately applied with a coater can be applied. Is more efficient and more preferable.

  As a method for applying the coating solution to a polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter sometimes abbreviated as “PET”) film, any known method can be used. For example, reverse roll coating method, gravure coating method, kiss coating method, die coater method, roll brush method, spray coating method, air knife coating method, wire bar coating method, pipe doctor method, impregnation coating method, curtain coating method, etc. Can be mentioned.

(Manufacture of polyester film)
In this invention, the polyester film used as a base film can be manufactured according to the manufacturing method of a general polyester film. For example, the polyester resin is melted and the non-oriented polyester extruded and formed into a sheet shape is stretched in the longitudinal direction by utilizing the speed difference of the roll at a temperature equal to or higher than the glass transition temperature, and then stretched in the transverse direction by a tenter. The method of performing heat processing is mentioned. In addition, a method of biaxial stretching in the tenter at the same time in the vertical and horizontal directions is also mentioned.

  In the present invention, the polyester film as the base film may be a uniaxially stretched film or a biaxially stretched film, but is preferably a biaxially stretched film.

  The thickness of the polyester film substrate is preferably 5 μm or more, more preferably 10 μm or more, and further preferably 15 μm or more. When the thickness is 5 μm or more, it is preferable that wrinkles do not easily occur during conveyance of the film.

  The thickness of the polyester film substrate is preferably 50 μm or less, more preferably 45 μm or less, and even more preferably 40 μm or less. A thickness of 40 μm or less is preferable because the cost per unit area is reduced.

  In the case of in-line coating, it may be applied to an unstretched film before stretching in the machine direction or may be applied to a uniaxially stretched film after stretching in the machine direction and before stretching in the transverse direction. When coating is performed before stretching in the machine direction, it is preferable to provide a drying step before roll stretching. When coating on a uniaxially stretched film before stretching in the transverse direction, the film heating process in the tenter can also serve as the drying process, and therefore it is not always necessary to provide a separate drying process. The same applies to simultaneous biaxial stretching.

  The film thickness of the slippery coating layer is preferably 0.001 μm or more, more preferably 0.01 μm or more, still more preferably 0.02 μm or more, and particularly preferably 0.03 μm or more. It is preferable that the thickness of the coating layer is 0.001 μm or more because the film forming property of the coating film is maintained and a uniform coating film can be obtained.

  The film thickness of the easy-slip coating layer is preferably 2 μm or less, more preferably 1 μm or less, still more preferably 0.8 μm or less, and particularly preferably 0.5 μm or less. It is preferable that the coating layer has a thickness of 2 μm or less because there is no risk of blocking.

  A ceramic green sheet to be coated and molded on a mold release coating layer to be described later is wound into a roll together with the mold release film after coating and molding. At this time, it winds up in the state which the slipperiness application layer of the release film contacted the ceramic green sheet surface. In order not to generate defects on the surface of the ceramic green sheet, the outer surface of the easy-to-slip coating layer (the surface of the easy-to-slip coating layer of the entire coating film not in contact with the polyester film) needs to be reasonably flat. The surface average roughness (Sa) is preferably 1 nm to 25 nm and the maximum protrusion height (P) is preferably 60 nm to 500 nm.

  If the average surface roughness (Sa) of the outer surface of the easy-to-slip coating layer is 1 nm or more and the maximum protrusion height (P) is 60 nm or more, the easy-to-slip coating surface is not too smooth and maintains an appropriate slipperiness. This is preferable because it is possible. If the area surface average roughness (Sa) is 25 nm or less and the maximum protrusion height (P) is 500 nm or less, the easy-slip coating surface does not become too rough, and defects in the ceramic green sheet due to the protrusion do not occur.

  In the present invention, in addition to setting the region surface average roughness (Sa) and the maximum protrusion height (P) within the above ranges, the average length (RSm) of the roughness curve elements is preferably 10 μm or less. By controlling the average length (RSm) of the roughness curve element to 10 μm or less, the number of protrusions per unit area increases. Increasing the number of protrusions is preferable because the pressure applied to each protrusion is dispersed and reduced, and thus pinholes can be effectively suppressed. The average length (RSm) of the roughness curve element is more preferably 5 μm or less, and further preferably 3 μm or less. However, when the average length (RSm) of the roughness curve element is too small, it is related to the excessive content of particles in the easy-to-slip coating layer, and the area surface average roughness (Sa) becomes large. In addition, since it is also related to an increase in the maximum protrusion height (P), it is preferably 0.1 μm or more, may be 0.5 μm or more, and may be 1 μm or more.

  In the present invention, in order to make the average length (RSm) of the roughness curve element within a predetermined range, it is preferable that the average particle size of the particles contained in the slippery coating layer is 1000 nm or less. More preferably, it is 800 nm or less, More preferably, it is 600 nm or less. When the particle diameter is 1000 nm or less, the distance between the particles does not become too large, and RSm is preferably adjusted within a predetermined range.

(Release coating layer)
The resin constituting the release coating layer in the present invention is not particularly limited, and silicone resins, fluororesins, alkyd resins, various waxes, aliphatic olefins and the like can be used, and each resin can be used alone or in combination of two or more. You can also

  As the release coating layer of the present invention, for example, a silicone resin is a resin having a silicone structure in the molecule, and examples thereof include a curable silicone, a silicone graft resin, and a modified silicone resin such as alkyl modification. It is preferable to use a reactive cured silicone resin from the viewpoint of properties. As the reactive cured silicone resin, an addition reaction type, a condensation reaction type, an ultraviolet ray or electron beam curing type, or the like can be used. More preferably, a low-temperature curable addition reaction system that can be processed at a low temperature, and an ultraviolet ray or electron beam curing system are preferable. By using these materials, the polyester film can be processed at a low temperature. Therefore, there is little thermal damage to the polyester film during processing, a highly flat polyester film can be obtained, and defects such as pinholes can be reduced even when manufacturing an ultra-thin ceramic green sheet having a thickness of 0.2 to 2 μm. .

  Examples of the addition reaction type silicone resin include those obtained by reacting and curing polydimethylsiloxane having a vinyl group introduced into the terminal or side chain thereof with hydrodienesiloxane using a platinum catalyst. At this time, it is more preferable to use a resin that can be cured at 120 ° C. within 30 seconds because processing at a low temperature is possible. As an example, low temperature addition curing type (LTC1006L, LTC1056L, LTC300B, LTC303E, LTC310, LTC314, LTC350G, LTC450A, LTC371G, LTC750A, LTC755, LTC85A, YC85A, UV85C, LTC85A, etc.) -510, BY24-561, BY24-562, etc.), Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd. solvent addition + UV curing type (X62-5040, X62-5065, X62-5072T, KS5508 etc.), dual cure curing type (X62-2835, X62) -2834, X62-1980, etc.).

  As a silicone resin of the condensation reaction system, for example, a polydimethylsiloxane having an OH group at the end and a polydimethylsiloxane having an H group at the end are subjected to a condensation reaction using an organotin catalyst to form a three-dimensional crosslinked structure. Can be mentioned.

  Examples of UV curable silicone resins include those that use the same radical reaction as ordinary silicone rubber crosslinks as the most basic types, those that introduce photopolymerization by introducing unsaturated groups, and those that decompose onium salts with UV light. Examples include those that generate a strong acid and then cleave the epoxy group to crosslink, and those that crosslink by the addition reaction of thiol to vinylsiloxane. Further, an electron beam can be used instead of the ultraviolet rays. Electron beams have stronger energy than ultraviolet rays, and can use a radical crosslinking reaction without using an initiator as in the case of ultraviolet curing. Examples of the resin to be used include UV-curable silicones (X62-7028A / B, X62-7052, X62-7205, X62-7622, X62-7629, X62-7660, etc.) manufactured by Shin-Etsu Chemical Co., Ltd., Momentive Performance UV curable silicones manufactured by Materials (TPR6502, TPR6501, TPR6500, UV9300, UV9315, XS56-A2982, UV9430, etc.), UV curable silicones manufactured by Arakawa Chemical (Silicolys UV POLY200, POLY215, POLY201, KF-UV265AM, etc.) ).

  As the ultraviolet curable silicone resin, polydimethylsiloxane modified with acrylate or glycidoxy may be used. Mixing these modified polydimethylsiloxanes with polyfunctional acrylate resins or epoxy resins and using them in the presence of an initiator can also provide good release performance.

  As other examples of resins used, alkyd resins and acrylic resins modified with stearyl and lauryl, alkyd resins obtained by reaction of methylated melamine, acrylic resins, and the like are also suitable.

  Examples of the aminoalkyd resin obtained by the reaction of methylated melamine include Tesfine 303, Tesfine 305, and Tesfine 314 manufactured by Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd. Examples of the aminoacrylic resin obtained by the reaction of methylated melamine include Tesfine 322 manufactured by Hitachi Chemical Co., Ltd.

  When using the said resin for the mold release coating layer of this invention, it may be used by 1 type and may be used in mixture of 2 or more types. Moreover, in order to adjust peeling force, it is also possible to mix additives, such as a light peeling additive and a heavy peeling additive.

  The release coating layer of the present invention can contain particles having a particle size of 1 μm or less. However, it is preferable not to substantially contain those that form protrusions such as particles from the viewpoint of generating pinholes.

  You may add additives, such as a contact | adherence improving agent and an antistatic agent, to the mold release coating layer of this invention. In order to improve the adhesion to the substrate, it is also preferable that the polyester film surface is subjected to pretreatment such as anchor coating, corona treatment, plasma treatment, atmospheric pressure plasma treatment, etc. before providing the release coating layer.

  In the present invention, the thickness of the release coating layer may be set according to the purpose of use, and is not particularly limited. However, preferably, the range of the thickness of the release coating layer after curing is 0.005 to 2 μm. Good. When the thickness of the release coating layer is 0.005 μm or more, the peeling performance is maintained, which is preferable. Moreover, it is preferable that the thickness of the release coating layer is 2 μm or less because the curing time does not become too long and there is no possibility of uneven thickness of the ceramic green sheet due to a decrease in the flatness of the release film. In addition, since the curing time does not become too long, the resin constituting the release coating layer does not have a possibility of agglomeration and there is no possibility of forming protrusions.

  The outer surface of the film on which the release coating layer is formed (the surface of the release coating layer of the entire coating film that is not in contact with the polyester film) is flat so as not to cause defects in the ceramic green sheet applied and molded thereon. It is desirable that the area surface average roughness (Sa) is 5 nm or less and the maximum protrusion height (P) is 30 nm or less. Furthermore, it is more preferable that the area surface average roughness (Sa) is 5 nm or less and the maximum protrusion height (P) is 20 nm or less. Particularly preferably, the area surface average roughness (Sa) is 3 nm or less and the maximum protrusion height (P) is 17 nm or less. If the area surface roughness (Sa) is 5 nm or less and the maximum protrusion height (P) is 30 nm or less, there is no occurrence of defects such as pinholes when forming the ceramic green sheet, and the yield is favorable. It can be said that the smaller the surface average surface roughness (Sa), the better, but it may be 0.1 nm or more, or 0.3 nm or more. It can be said that the smaller the maximum protrusion height (P) is, the better, but it may be 1 nm or more, or 3 nm or more.

  In the present invention, in order to adjust the film surface on which the release coating layer is formed within a predetermined roughness range, it is preferable that the PET film does not substantially contain particles. In the present invention, “substantially free of particles” means, for both the base film and the release coating layer, for example, in the case of inorganic particles, quantitative analysis of elements derived from the particles by fluorescent X-ray analysis. Is defined as 50 ppm or less, preferably 10 ppm or less, and most preferably below the detection limit. This means that even if particles are not actively added to the base film, contaminants derived from foreign substances and raw material resin or dirt adhering to the line or equipment in the film manufacturing process will be peeled off and mixed into the film. It is because there is a case to do.

  In the present invention, the method for forming the release coating layer is not particularly limited, and a coating solution in which a release resin is dissolved or dispersed is spread on one surface of the polyester film of the substrate by coating or the like, Etc. are removed by drying, followed by heat drying, heat curing or ultraviolet curing. At this time, the drying temperature at the time of solvent drying and thermosetting is preferably 180 ° C. or less, more preferably 150 ° C. or less, and most preferably 120 ° C. or less. The heating time is preferably 30 seconds or less, and more preferably 20 seconds or less. When the temperature is 180 ° C. or lower, the flatness of the film is maintained, and there is little possibility of causing uneven thickness of the ceramic green sheet. When the temperature is 120 ° C. or less, the film can be processed without impairing the flatness of the film, and the possibility of causing uneven thickness of the ceramic green sheet is further reduced, which is particularly preferable.

  In the present invention, the surface tension of the coating liquid when applying the release coating layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably 30 mN / m or less. By making the surface tension as described above, the paintability after coating can be improved, and the unevenness of the coating film surface after drying can be reduced.

  In the present invention, the coating liquid for applying the release coating layer is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to add a solvent having a boiling point of 90 ° C. or higher. By adding a solvent having a boiling point of 90 ° C. or higher, bumping at the time of drying can be prevented, the coating film can be leveled, and the smoothness of the coating film surface after drying can be improved. As the addition amount, it is preferable to add about 10-80 mass% with respect to the whole coating liquid.

  As the coating method of the coating liquid, any known coating method can be applied, for example, a roll coating method such as a gravure coating method or a reverse coating method, a bar coating method such as a wire bar, a die coating method, a spray coating method, an air knife. Conventionally known methods such as a coating method can be used.

  In Examples 1-8, since all parameters of Sa, P, and RSm on the surface of the easy-coating layer were in an appropriate range, a ceramic green sheet free from pinholes could be obtained. In Comparative Examples 1 to 3, since all the parameters of Sa, P and RSm on the smooth surface were large, generation of pinholes was observed.

However, since RSm is large, it is not effective for suppressing the generation of pinholes. It was enough. A large RSm means that the interval between the projections is wide and the number of projections per unit area is small, and the pressure applied to each projection is increased, which is considered to have caused a pinhole.
