Widely used in fields such as capacitor derivatives. However, when trying to manufacture a film that takes full advantage of its transparency,
Film runnability is particularly required in terms of process passability in the manufacturing process, post-processing processes such as coating and vapor deposition, and handling of the product itself, but this has not always been fully achieved in the past. . This is often caused by friction and wear caused by high-speed contact between the film and the base material.

は再生使用も困難である。Conventionally, it has been known that in order to improve the running properties and abrasion resistance of a polyester film, it is sufficient to appropriately roughen the surface of the film. In order to achieve this, a method has been adopted in which fine particles are present in the raw polyester, and some have been put into practical use.
It is not always possible to satisfy these characteristics to a high degree. For example, when using so-called precipitated particles, which are generated from catalyst residues during polyester production, as fine particles, it is difficult to control the particle amount and particle size, and to prevent the formation of coarse particles. Because they are easily destroyed, they have poor running performance and wear resistance, and are also difficult to recycle.

成したりするなどの現象が起こる。[0004] Another method, called the addition method, is one in which inert inorganic compound particles such as calcium carbonate, titanium dioxide, calcium phosphate, etc. are added to polyester, and the particles are not destroyed or deformed by stretching and are relatively stable. By providing steep protrusions, runnability is improved, but since such particles have poor affinity with polyester, voids are created around the particles during stretching, resulting in a significant decrease in transparency.
Particles tend to detach from the film surface, resulting in phenomena such as the formation of white powdery substances.

が部分的にトラップされる等のためと考えられる。In order to solve this problem, it is known to use silica particles, alumina particles, and titanium oxide particles, which have a relatively good affinity with polyester having reactive groups such as hydroxyl groups (-OH) on the particle surface. However, when such particles are used, the affinity with polyester can be improved, but on the other hand, there is a drawback that the polymerization rate during polyester production is reduced. Although the reason for this is not clear, it is thought that, in the case of silica particles, for example, this is due to the interaction between the silanol groups present on the surface of the particles and the metal compound serving as the polymerization catalyst, such as partially trapping of the metal compound.

添加する。A feature of the present invention is that the polycondensation reaction is carried out under certain specific conditions. That is, when producing polyester, a polymerization catalyst such as an antimony compound or a germanium compound is generally used, but in the present invention, 1 to 8 mol, preferably 3 to 8 mol, of magnesium element is used per 106 g of the acid component constituting the polyester. The magnesium compound is added in an amount of 7 mol, more preferably 5 to 7 mol.

く用いられる。If the amount of the magnesium compound is less than 1 mol, the polymerization rate will be extremely slow, and the resulting polyester will have a high specific resistance value when melted, resulting in a polyester with poor film-forming properties. On the other hand, if the amount of magnesium exceeds 8 mol, the color tone of the resulting polyester may be impaired or the thermal stability may be reduced. The magnesium compound used in the present invention may be any of oxides, chlorides, hydrides, carbonates, alcoholates, carboxylates, etc., but carboxylates, particularly magnesium acetate, are preferably used.

Molar ratio of phosphorus compound and magnesium compound (P/Mg)

Furthermore, the resulting polymer has poor thermal stability and poor color tone, which is not preferable. When P/Mg exceeds 0.5, the effect of improving the polymerization rate is small. As the phosphorus compound used in the present invention,
From the viewpoint of preventing reaction with the magnesium compound used as a transesterification catalyst, acidic phosphoric acid esters such as methyl acid phosphate, ethyl acid phosphate, and butyl acid phosphate, or phosphoric acid triphosphates such as trimethyl phosphate, triethyl phosphate, and tributyl phosphate are used. Esters are preferred, but are not particularly limited thereto. Among these, ethyl acid phosphate is particularly preferred.

If the amount of the antimony compound is less than 0.2 mol, no improvement in the polymerization rate can be expected even if the method of the present invention is employed. Moreover, if it is used in an amount exceeding 4 moles, the antimony compound will precipitate during polymerization and become coarse foreign matter, which is not preferable.
