[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a vinyl chloride resin film for agriculture. More specifically, the present invention relates to an agricultural vinyl chloride resin film excellent in durability and dust resistance against unfavorable deterioration phenomena such as discoloration caused by spreading outdoors, embrittlement, and deterioration of dust resistance. ..

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, farmers cultivating useful plants have widely adopted a method of accelerating or suppressing cultivation of useful plants in a house (greenhouse) or in a tunnel for the purpose of improving profitability. Became. This house (greenhouse)
Alternatively, as a tunnel covering material, a polyethylene film, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer film, a polyester film, a polycarbonate film, a hard and soft vinyl chloride resin film, glass or the like is used. Among them, the soft vinyl chloride resin film has light transmittance, heat retention, and
It is widely used because it has the best mechanical strength, durability, and workability.However, the flexible vinyl chloride resin film used for agriculture is affected by the area and place where it is spread. Thus, even after two years have passed since the start of use, the dust-proof property of the outer surface of the house or tunnel is significantly reduced, and the house or tunnel cannot be used.

As a method for eliminating the above drawbacks, a method has been proposed in which the surface of a vinyl chloride resin film for agriculture is coated with the following specific resin or paint. (I) Method of applying acrylic resin (Japanese Patent Publication No. 46-2
9639, Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 50-28117, etc.) (ii) A method of applying a fluororesin through an adhesive layer (JP-A-56-86748, JP-A-57-8155, and JP-A-57). No. 12646, etc.) (iii) A method of applying a mixture of a fluororesin and an acrylic resin (JP-A-63-21143, JP-A-46-6)
However, in (i), it is not enough to prevent the plasticizer of the substrate from bleeding out to the surface of the molded article, and in (ii), the plasticizer is used. Due to the effect of the transfer of the above substances to the adhesive layer, the fixing and integration of the fluororesin and the substrate were not practically sufficient even through the adhesive layer.

Although (iii) has been proposed as an improvement on these, the coating film is opaque because the interfacial adhesion between the substrate and the fluororesin mixture is insufficient and the acrylic resin and the fluororesin are difficult to dissolve. There was a drawback that

[0005]

Under the above circumstances, the present inventors have found that undesired deterioration phenomena such as discoloration, embrittlement, deterioration of dustproofness / antifogability, etc., caused by expansion outdoors are significant. In order to provide a vinyl chloride resin film for agriculture which has been improved to
As a result of intensive studies, the present invention has been completed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the gist of the present invention is to provide an acrylic acid or methacrylic acid alkyl ester of 60 parts by weight or more on one or both sides of a vinyl chloride resin film containing a fluorosurfactant. Acrylic resin [A] obtained by polymerizing a mixture containing it and alkyl esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid 60 to 95
By weight, a mixture of 40 to 5 parts by weight of perfluoroalkyl ester of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid is polymerized to form a film of a composition containing two components of a fluorine-containing acrylic resin [B] as a main component. A vinyl chloride resin film for agriculture, which is characterized in that

The present invention will be described in detail below. 1. Vinyl chloride resin In the present invention, the vinyl chloride resin means not only polyvinyl chloride but also a copolymer containing vinyl chloride as a main component.
Examples of the monomer compound that can be copolymerized with vinyl chloride include vinylidene chloride, ethylene, propylene, acrylonitrile, maleic acid, itaconic acid, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, vinyl acetate and the like. These vinyl chloride resins may be produced by any of conventionally known production methods such as emulsion polymerization method, suspension polymerization method, solution polymerization method and bulk polymerization method.

In order to impart flexibility to the above-mentioned vinyl chloride resin as the base, 20 to 60 parts by weight of a plasticizer is added to 100 parts by weight of the resin. By setting the compounding amount of the plasticizer within the above range, excellent flexibility and mechanical properties can be imparted to the intended soft vinyl chloride molded article. Examples of the plasticizer include di-n-octyl phthalate, di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate, dibenzyl phthalate, diisodecyl phthalate,

Among the surfactants substituted with, a surfactant containing a perfluoroalkyl group or a perfluoroalkenyl group is particularly preferable. Representative examples of the fluorine-based surfactant that can be used in the present invention are shown in Tables 1 and 2.

The above-mentioned fluorine-containing surfactants can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds. The blending amount of the fluorine-based surfactant in the vinyl chloride resin film can be variously changed depending on the type of the fluorine-based surfactant to be blended. Generally, at least 0.01 part by weight per 100 parts by weight of the vinyl chloride resin (however, the plasticizer is not included in the calculation; the same applies hereinafter) is preferably used. However, the effect of improving the dustproof property against the cost increase is small, so 2.0 parts by weight is used. The preferable range of the blending amount is 0.01 to 0.7 parts by weight, and in this range, the effect of improving the dustproof property by adding the fluorine-based surfactant is large.

In addition to the above-mentioned plasticizer and fluorine-based surfactant, the vinyl chloride-based resin may also contain, if necessary, known resin additives such as organic compounds that are usually added to synthetic resins for molding. Phosphate ester, organophosphate metal salt, lubricant,
A heat stabilizer, an ultraviolet absorber, a light stabilizer, an antioxidant, a stabilizing aid, an antistatic agent, an antifogging agent, an antifungal agent, an antialgal agent, an inorganic filler, a colorant and the like can be added.

It is obtained by polymerizing a mixture containing 5 parts by weight.

If the amount of the alkyl ester of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid is less than the above amount, the miscibility with the acrylic resin [A] is poor, the transparency of the formed film is insufficient, and if the amount is more than the above amount. The effect of the formed film on the dustproof property and weather resistance is not sufficient, which is not preferable.
