Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain film having favorable transparency at high film-making speed by a method wherein the portion exposed during casting of an endless carrier, onto which polymeric solution is cast for making filmy matter and, after that, from which the resulting filmy matter is stripped for the following casting, is filled with gas, the dew point of which is lower than the surface temperature of the carrier. CONSTITUTION:Cellulose triacetate solution is cast from a casting part 1 on a carrier 3 and dried and finally stripped through a stripping roller 2 in the form of film 5. In this case, a drum 6 is cooled in order to accelerate the gelation of cast filmy matter 4 and to increase the strength of the stripped film 5. In addition, a device 7 for shielding an exposed portion is provided so as to be fed with gas having the dew point, which is lower than the surface temperature of the carrier in order to prevent the transparency of the film from being impaired due to the deposition of dew on the carrier and the consequent loss of clarity of the cast film surface contacting with the carrier.

As an example of a film forming method using a polymer solution, for example, in the case of a casting film forming method for cellulose triacetate film used for photographic light-sensitive materials, generally after casting on an endless band or drum (hereinafter referred to as a support), While rotating, the membranous material is peeled off and formed into a film. In this case, as a solvent, methylene chloride alone or a solvent mixed with a portion of alcohol or the like is generally used. In this casting film-forming method, methods for increasing the film-forming speed include speeding drying on the support, and cooling the film-like material when peeling it from the support to accelerate solidification. There is a method of imparting tensile strength that resists peeling force.

Therefore, when casting is performed next, the surface in contact with the support becomes devitrified, resulting in a problem that the transparency of the film is impaired.

[Structure of the Invention] The above object of the present invention is to cast a polymer solution onto a moving endless support to form a film-like material, and then peel the film-like material from the support to form a film. In the manufacturing method, the surface temperature of the support is 15°C or less and the exposed portion of the support is This is achieved by a casting film forming method characterized in that the film is filled with a gas having a dew point lower than the surface temperature of the support.

以下、本発明の詳細について説明する。The details of the present invention will be explained below.

In the same figure, a polymer solution dissolved in the solvent as described above is cast from a casting section l onto a drum or band-shaped support (Fig. 1 shows an example of a band) 3, and the film is usually peeled off. The film 5 is dried so that the amount of solvent therein (referred to as residual solvent) is about 120% or less of the weight of the film after drying, and the film 5 is peeled off using a peeling roller 2. On this occasion,
As described above, the drum 6 is cooled to promote gelation of the cast film material 4 and increase the strength of the peeled film 5.
The cast film material 4 is cooled through the support 3 in contact with the drum.

Therefore, the support 3 is cooled, and if the dew point of the moisture in the atmosphere is higher than the temperature of the surface of the support between the stripping roller section and the casting section, that is, the part where the support is exposed to the atmosphere. forms dew on the surface of the support. For this reason, the surface of the cast film that is next cast in contact with the support becomes devitrified, impairing the transparency of the film. Therefore, the temperature cannot be lowered too much when cooling the support to promote solidification of the film-like material.

The invention therefore provides a device 7 for shielding the exposed part,
A gas having a dew point lower than the surface temperature of the support is introduced into this, and the shielding device 7 is filled with the gas to prevent dew from forming on the support and to prevent gelling of the cast film. This is to improve the film forming speed. Although covering the exposed portion with the shielding device 7 is an effective mode for efficiently carrying out the present invention, it is also possible to fill the entire traveling support with a gas having a dew point lower than the surface temperature of the exposed support. It is also effective.

The residual solvent during film-like material peeling is about 120% or less, and from the viewpoint of increasing the speed, a range of about 40% to 120% is useful. The surface temperature of the support is 15°C or less, preferably 10°C or less. The gas fed into the shielding device 7 is not particularly limited as long as it satisfies the condition that dew does not form on the exposed portion of the support. It is necessary to adjust the temperature to the desired temperature before use.
