Description

Polyester film for molding {POLYESTER FILM FOR FORMING}

The present invention is suitable for molding which can be suitably used as nameplates or building materials for home appliances, automobiles, which are excellent in formability, particularly under low temperature and low pressure, and excellent in solvent resistance and heat resistance, and have low environmental load. It relates to a polyester film.

Conventionally, polyvinyl chloride film is typical as a sheet | seat for shaping | molding, and it has been used preferably from the point of workability. On the other hand, this film has problems such as toxic gas generation when the film is burned due to fire, bleeding out of a plasticizer, and the like, and a new material having a small environmental load has recently been demanded due to the need for environmental resistance.

In order to satisfy the requirements, unstretched sheets made of polyester, polycarbonate, and acrylic resins have been used in a wide range of fields as non-chlorine materials. In particular, an unstretched sheet made of polyester resin is attracting attention due to its good mechanical properties, transparency, and excellent economic efficiency. For example, the unstretched polyester sheet which consists of substantially amorphous polyester-based resin which replaced about 30 mol% of the ethylene glycol component in polyethylene terephthalate with 1, 4- cyclohexane dimethanol is a Japanese patent publication. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-180267, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-71669, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-80251, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-129951, and Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-249652. have.

Although the above unstretched polyester sheet satisfies the market demand in terms of moldability and laminate aptitude, the unstretched sheet does not have sufficient heat resistance and solvent resistance and thus does not reach the high demand of the market. I couldn't.

As a method for solving the above problems, a method using a biaxially stretched polyethylene terephthalate film is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 9-187903, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 10-296937, and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-10816. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-268215 is disclosed.

However, the above method improves heat resistance and solvent resistance, but the moldability is insufficient, and it does not satisfy the market demand in terms of overall quality balance.

As a method for solving the above problems, a method of specifying stress at 100% elongation of a film is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-347565.

This method is improved in formability compared to the above method, but has not reached a level that can sufficiently meet the high demands of the market regarding formability. In particular, problems remain in formability which can be adapted to lowering the molding temperature and the finishability of the obtained molded article.

MEANS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM The present inventors examined the solution of the said subject, and the method of improving the said subject by specifying the copolyester resin of a specific composition as a raw material, and also specifying the stress at 100% elongation of a film is Japanese patent application 2002-233694. And Japanese Patent Application No. 2003-309894.

By these methods, in the mold shaping | molding method with high shaping | molding pressure at the time of shaping | molding, the moldability which can be suitable for the low temperature of the shaping | molding temperature which satisfy | fills market requirements, and the finishing property of the obtained molded article can be improved significantly.

(Effects of the Invention)

The polyester film for molding of the present invention can be applied to a wide range of molding methods because of its excellent moldability at the time of heat molding, especially under low temperature or low pressure, and can be applied to a wide range of molding methods. Since it is excellent in stability (heat shrinkage characteristic, thickness nonuniformity), excellent solvent resistance, heat resistance, and small environmental load, there exists an advantage that it can be used suitably as a nameplate or building material member of a home appliance, an automobile.

In the polyester film for molding in the present invention, the stress (F100 ₂₅ ) at 100% elongation at 25 ° C in the longitudinal direction and the width direction of the film is all 10 to 1000 MPa, and the longitudinal direction and the width of the film It is important that all of the stresses (F100 ₁₀₀ ) at 100% elongation at 100 ° C in the direction are 1 to 100 MPa. When F100 ₂₅ or F100 ₁₀₀ exceeds the upper limit of the said range, since moldability falls, it is unpreferable. On the other hand, below the lower limit of the said range, since elasticity and shape stability at the time of using a molded article fall, it is unpreferable.

F100 in the longitudinal direction and the width of the film ₂₅ is preferably a 10~500 MPa, and more preferably 10~200 MPa, is particularly preferred 10~150 MPa.

In addition, the upper limit of F100 ₁₀₀ in the longitudinal direction and the width direction of the film is preferably 90 MPa, more preferably 80 MPa, and particularly preferably 70 MPa from the viewpoint of formability. On the other hand, the lower limit of F100 ₁₀₀ is preferably 2 MPa, more preferably 3 MPa, and particularly preferably 5 MPa in view of elasticity and form stability when using a molded article.

In the polyester film for molding in the present invention, it is important that the storage viscoelastic modulus (E ') in the longitudinal direction and the width direction of the film are all 10 to 1000 MPa at 100 ° C and 5 to 40 MPa at 180 ° C. Do. By controlling the storage viscoelastic modulus (E ') within the above range, the moldability, in particular, the moldability at low temperatures and low pressures can be ensured, and 10 such as the pressure forming method or the vacuum molding method, which can be applied only to the unstretched sheet, can be used. Even by a molding method having a low molding pressure below atmospheric pressure, a molded article with good finish can be obtained while a molded article with good dimensional stability can be obtained.

The storage viscoelastic modulus (E ′) at 100 ° C. and 180 ° C. is a parameter that affects moldability under low temperature and low pressure, dimensional stability, and the like. In particular, the present inventors newly found that the storage viscoelasticity (E ') at 100 ° C is related to moldability under low temperature and low pressure, and the storage viscoelasticity (E') at 180 ° C is related to dimensional stability. The inventors of the present invention cannot clearly explain their mechanisms for the reason why the storage viscoelastic modulus (E ') at the specific temperature is an important index for expressing the film properties, but the polyester constituting the film It is presumed that this is because the molecular structure of the copolymerization component contained in contributes.

As for the storage viscoelasticity (E ') in the longitudinal direction and the width direction of a film, 20-900 MPa is preferable at 100 degreeC in both directions of a film, 30-800 MPa is more preferable, 40-700 MPa is especially preferable. . Moreover, 7-38 MPa is preferable, as for the storage viscoelasticity (E ') at 180 degreeC, 9-35 MPa is more preferable, 10-30 MPa is especially preferable.

Moreover, it is important for the polyester film for shaping | molding in this invention that the thermal strain (initial load 49 mN) in the longitudinal direction of a film is -3%-+3% at 175 degreeC. It is preferable that it is -3%-+3% at 180 degreeC, and, as for the heat strain (initial load 49 mN) in the longitudinal direction of a film, it is especially preferable that it is -3%-+3% at 185 degreeC.

Here, the thermal strain of the film was measured under a condition of an initial load of 49 mN and a heating rate of 5 ° C./min using a thermomechanical analyzer (TMA), and measured at 175 ° C. by measuring the dimensional change of the film according to temperature change. The strain is obtained. The solvent resistance of a molded article can be improved by controlling the thermal strain (initial load 49 mN) in the longitudinal direction of a film to the said range. In addition, a molded article having good finish can be obtained even by a method of molding at a low pressure of 10 atm or less such as a pressure forming method or a vacuum molding method. In addition, in the unstretched sheet obtained from polyester, polycarbonate, or acrylic resin, the thermal strain in the longitudinal direction of the film at 175 ° C is outside the scope of the present invention.

It is not clear why the properties of the film under thermal stress (initial load of 49 mN) and the properties considered to be unrelated at first glance to each other are correlated. However, for the reason mentioned above, since the polyester film for shaping | molding of this invention is biaxially oriented, this inventor estimates that solvent resistance and heat-strain resistance could be improved by expression of molecular orientation by extending | stretching. .

In the (1) 100% elongation stress in the longitudinal direction and the width direction of the film, (2) the storage viscoelastic modulus (E ') in the longitudinal direction and the width direction of the film, (3) in the longitudinal direction of the film It is important for the thermal strain under the micro tension to satisfy the above range at the same time. By simultaneously satisfy | filling these characteristics, a film can obtain the polyester film for shaping | molding of this invention which has an effect which satisfy | fills the said various market requirements.

The polyester film for molding of the present invention is a biaxially stretched polyester film containing a copolyester as a constituent component. When the above properties are satisfied, the structure, melting point, molecular weight, composition, and the like are not limited, and are set arbitrarily. Below, preferable embodiment of the polyester film for shaping | molding of this invention is described.

The polyester film for molding of the present invention comprises a copolyester composed of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid component and a glycol component containing ethylene glycol and branched aliphatic glycols and / or alicyclic glycols. It is preferable to use for some or all.

The copolyester is composed of terephthalic acid and / or naphthalenedicarboxylic acid components, although the aromatic dicarboxylic acid component mainly consists of terephthalic acid, naphthalenedicarboxylic acid or ester-forming derivatives thereof. The amount is at least 70 mol%, preferably at least 85 mol%, particularly preferably at least 95 mol%, particularly preferably 100 mol%.

In addition, examples of the branched aliphatic glycol include neopentyl glycol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol and the like. As alicyclic glycol, 1, 4- cyclohexane dimethanol, tricyclodecane dimethylol, etc. are illustrated.

Among these, neopentyl glycol and 1, 4- cyclohexane dimethanol are especially preferable. In addition, in this invention, it is more preferable embodiment to use 1, 3- propanediol or 1, 4- butanediol as a copolymerization component in addition to the said glycol component. It is preferable to use these glycols as a copolymerization component in order to provide the said characteristic, and also to be excellent also in transparency and heat resistance, and to improve adhesiveness with an adhesive modifying layer.

Moreover, you may use together 1 type (s) or 2 or more types as a copolymerization component with the following dicarboxylic acid components and / or glycol components to the said copolyester as needed.

Other dicarboxylic acid components that can be used together with terephthalic acid or its ester-forming derivatives include (1) isophthalic acid, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, diphenyl-4,4'-dicarboxylic acid, dipe Aromatic dicarboxylic acids such as oxyethanedicarboxylic acid, diphenylsulfondicarboxylic acid, 5-sodium sulfoisophthalic acid and phthalic acid or ester-forming derivatives thereof, (2) oxalic acid, succinic acid and adipic acid Aliphatic dicarboxylic acids or ester-forming derivatives thereof such as sebacic acid, dimer acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid and glutaric acid, and (3) cycloaliphatic dicarboxylic acids such as cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid or the like Oxycarboxylic acids such as ester-forming derivatives, (4) p-oxybenzoic acid and oxycaproic acid, or ester-forming derivatives thereof, and the like.

 On the other hand, other glycol components that can be used together with ethylene glycol and branched aliphatic glycols and / or alicyclic glycols are, for example, aliphatic glycols such as pentanediol and hexanediol, aromatic glycols such as bisphenol A and bisphenol S, and ethylene oxides thereof. Additives, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, dimerdiol, etc. are mentioned.

Moreover, you may further copolymerize polyfunctional compounds, such as trimellitic acid, trimesic acid, and a trimethylol propane, to the said copolyester as needed.

As the catalyst used when producing the copolyester, for example, an alkaline earth metal compound, a manganese compound, a cobalt compound, an aluminum compound, an antimony compound, a titanium compound, a titanium / silicon composite oxide, a germanium compound, or the like can be used. Among these, a titanium compound, an antimony compound, a germanium compound, and an aluminum compound are preferable from a catalyst activity viewpoint.

When manufacturing the said copolyester, it is preferable to add a phosphorus compound as a heat stabilizer. As said phosphorus compound, phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, etc. are preferable, for example.

The copolyester preferably has an intrinsic viscosity of 0.50 dl / g or more, more preferably 0.55 dl / g or more, particularly preferably 0.60 dl / g or more in view of moldability, adhesiveness and film forming stability. to be. If the intrinsic viscosity is less than 0.50 dl / g, the moldability tends to be lowered. In addition, when a filter for removing foreign matters is provided in the melt line, it is preferable to set the upper limit of the intrinsic viscosity to 1.0 dl / g in view of the discharge stability during extrusion of the molten resin.

In the polyester film for molding of the present invention, the copolymerized polyester may be used as a film raw material, or the copolymerized polyester having many copolymerization components may be blended with a homopolyester (for example, polyethylene terephthalate) to adjust the amount of copolymerized components. Does not matter.

In particular, by forming the film using the latter blending method, transparency and high melting point (heat resistance) can be realized while maintaining the same flexibility as in the case of using only copolyester. In addition, with respect to the case where only a high melting point homopolyester (for example, polyethylene terephthalate) is used, it is possible to realize a melting point (heat resistance) without problems of flexibility and practical use while maintaining high transparency.

In addition, the copolymerized polyester and at least one or more homopolyesters (e.g., polytetramethylene terephthalate or polybutylene terephthalate) other than polyethylene terephthalate are blended to be used as raw materials for the molding polyester film of the present invention. It is more preferable also in terms of moldability.

It is preferable that melting | fusing point of the said polyester film is 200-245 degreeC from a heat resistance and a moldability viewpoint. By controlling the type and composition of the polymer to be used and the film forming conditions within the range of the melting point, a balance between moldability and finish can be achieved, and high quality molded articles can be economically produced. Here, melting | fusing point means the endothermic peak temperature at the time of melting detected at the time of 1st temperature rising of a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). This melting point was measured by using a differential scanning calorimetry device (manufactured by DuPont, V4.OB2000 type) at a heating rate of 20 ° C./min. 210 degreeC of a lower limit of melting | fusing point is more preferable, Especially preferably, it is 230 degreeC. If melting | fusing point is less than 200 degreeC, there exists a tendency for heat resistance to deteriorate. Therefore, it may become a problem when exposed to high temperature at the time of molding or use of a molded article.

The higher the melting point and the higher the heat resistance, the better. However, when the polyethylene terephthalate unit is mainly used, the film tends to deteriorate in the film having a melting point exceeding 245 ° C. In addition, transparency tends to deteriorate. In addition, in order to obtain high moldability and transparency, it is preferable to control the upper limit of melting | fusing point to 240 degreeC.

Moreover, in order to improve the handling properties, such as slipperiness | lubricacy and winding property of a film, it is preferable to form an unevenness | corrugation on the film surface. As a method of forming irregularities on the surface of the film, a method of containing particles in the film is generally used.

As said particle | grain, external particle | grains, such as internal precipitation particle | grains, an inorganic particle, and / or organic particle | grains whose average particle diameter is 0.01-10 micrometers, are mentioned. When the particle | grains whose average particle diameter exceeds 10 micrometers are used, defects of a film tend to arise and designability and transparency tend to deteriorate. On the other hand, in the particle | grains whose average particle diameter is less than 0.01 micrometer, there exists a tendency for handling property, such as slipperiness | lubricacy and winding property of a film, to fall. As for the average particle diameter of the said particle | grain, it is more preferable that a minimum shall be 0.10 micrometer from a viewpoint of handling property, such as slipperiness | lubricacy and winding property, Especially preferably, it is 0.50 micrometer. On the other hand, as for the average particle diameter of the said particle | grain, it is more preferable that an upper limit shall be 5 micrometers from a viewpoint of film defect reduction by transparency and coarse processus | protrusion, Especially preferably, it is 2 micrometers.

In addition, the average particle diameter of a particle | grain is taking a plurality of photographs of the at least 200 particle | grains by the electron microscope method, traces the outline of particle | grains on an OHP film, and converts this trace image into the diameter equivalent to a circle with an image analysis apparatus. To calculate.

Examples of the external particles include inorganic particles such as wet and dry silica, colloidal silica, aluminum silicate, titanium oxide, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, barium sulfate, alumina, mica, kaolin, clay, hydroxyapatite, and styrene, silicone, and acrylic acid. Organic particles etc. which make a component etc. can be used can be used. Among them, inorganic particles such as dry, wet and dry colloidal silica and alumina and organic particles containing styrene, silicone, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, polyester, divinylbenzene and the like are preferably used. These internal particles, inorganic particles and / or organic particles may be used in combination of two or more within a range not impairing the properties defined in the present invention.

Moreover, it is preferable that content in the film of the said particle | grain is 0.001-10 mass%. When it is less than 0.001 mass%, handling property will fall easily, for example, the slip property of a film will deteriorate, or winding will become difficult. On the other hand, when it exceeds 10 mass%, it becomes easy to cause coarse protrusion formation, film forming property, transparency deterioration, etc.

Moreover, since the refractive index is generally different from polyester in the particle | grains contained in a film, it becomes a factor which reduces transparency of a film.

In order to improve designability, a molded article is often printed on the film surface before shape | molding a film. Since such a printed layer is often performed on the back surface of the film for shaping | molding, it is desired that the transparency of a film is high from the viewpoint of print definition.

Therefore, the laminated | multilayer film which has a laminated structure in which particle | grains were contained only in the surface layer of 0.01-5 micrometers in thickness without substantially containing particle | grains in the base film of a main layer, in order to obtain high transparency, maintaining the film's handling property. It is effective to use.

In addition, the above-mentioned "do not contain particle | grains substantially in a base film" means content which becomes below a detection limit, for example, in the case of an inorganic particle, when an inorganic element is quantified by fluorescence X-ray analysis. This is because contaminants derived from foreign matters may be mixed even if particles are not consciously added to the base film.

Formation of a thin surface layer can be performed by a coating method or a coextrusion method. Especially in the case of a coating method, since adhesiveness with a printed layer can also be improved by using the composition which consists of adhesive modified resin containing particle | grains as a coating layer, it is a preferable method. As said adhesive modifying resin, resin which consists of at least 1 sort (s) chosen from polyester, a polyurethane, an acrylic polymer, and / or these copolymers is preferable.

In addition, in order to further improve the adhesiveness between the polyester film of the main layer and the adhesive modifying layer, the surface of the polyester film of the main layer may be surface-treated in advance, and an adhesive modifying layer may be provided on this surface treated surface. As the surface treatment method, for example, (1) a method by active energy ray irradiation such as corona discharge treatment, plasma discharge treatment, ultraviolet (UV) irradiation treatment, radiation (EB) irradiation treatment, (2) flame treatment, (3) PVD And vapor deposition methods such as CVD.

By setting it as such a laminated structure, the ratio (H / d) of haze H (%) with respect to the thickness d (micrometer) of a film can be made into less than 0.010, maintaining the handleability of a film.

When the polyester film for molding is particularly used for applications requiring transparency, it is necessary to make the ratio (H / d) of haze H (%) to the thickness d (µm) of the film less than 0.010 for transparency and print sharpness. It is preferable in terms of. More preferably, the H / d is greater than 0 and less than 0.010, particularly preferably greater than 0 and less than or equal to 0.009. In addition, in this invention, although the numerical value of the said H / d is described in the decimal number 3rd position, after the decimal number 4th position, it does not round and cuts off. For example, 0.0099 is set as 0.009.

The lower the lower limit of the H / d, the closer to 0, the more preferable in terms of transparency and print clarity. However, if important minimum irregularities are not formed on the surface of the film, handling properties such as slippage and winding properties may deteriorate, and scratches may occur on the surface of the film, or productivity may deteriorate. Therefore, it is preferable to make the lower limit of H / d into 0.001, Especially preferably, it is 0.005. In the case of the translucent name plate using the back light, since a higher degree of transparency is required, the closer the H / d is to 0, the more preferable.

As the particles to be contained in the surface layer, the same particles as those described above can be used. Among the particles, silica particles, glass fillers, and silica alumina composite oxide particles are particularly suitable in terms of transparency because the refractive index is relatively close to polyester.

Moreover, when the said surface layer contains the particle | grains whose average particle diameter exceeds 10 micrometers, there exists a tendency for the frequency of a coarse processus | protrusion to be formed in a film surface to increase designability. On the other hand, in the particle | grains whose average particle diameter is less than 0.01 micrometer, there exists a tendency for handling property, such as slipperiness | lubricacy and winding property of a film, to fall. The preferable range of the average particle diameter of the said particle | grain is the same as the case where particle | grains are contained in the base film of a main layer.

Moreover, it is preferable that the particle content in the said surface layer is 0.01-25 mass%. When it is less than 0.01 mass%, handling property will fall easily, for example, the slip property of a film will deteriorate, or winding will become difficult. On the other hand, when it exceeds 25 mass%, transparency and applicability will deteriorate easily.

In order to provide another function, the polyester film of this invention can be made into a laminated structure by a well-known method using polyester of a different kind. Although the form of this laminated | multilayer film is not specifically limited, For example, the laminated form of the 2 type 2 layer structure of A / B, the 2 type 3 layer structure of B / A / B structure, and the 3 type 3 layer structure of C / A / B. Can be mentioned.

It is important that the molding polyester film of this invention is a biaxially stretched film. In the present invention, thermal strain under the micro-tension (initial load 49 mN) of the film can be controlled within the scope of the present invention by molecular orientation by biaxial stretching, and solvent resistance and dimensional stability, which are drawbacks of the unstretched sheet, can be controlled. This is improved. That is, it is one of the characteristics of this invention to improve the solvent resistance and heat resistance which are the drawbacks of an unstretched sheet, maintaining the advantage of the moldability of an unstretched sheet.

Although the manufacturing method of the said biaxially-oriented polyester film is not specifically limited, For example, after drying a polyester resin as needed, it supplies to a well-known melt extruder, extrudes into a sheet form from a slit-type die, etc. The method of making the unstretched sheet biaxially stretch after contact | adhering to a casting drum by the system, cooling and solidifying, and obtaining an unstretched sheet is illustrated.

As a biaxial stretching method, the unstretched sheet is stretched and heat-treated in the longitudinal direction (MD) and the width direction (TD) of a film, and the method of obtaining the biaxially stretched film which has an objective in-plane orientation degree is employ | adopted. Among these methods, a sequential biaxial stretching method such as an MD / TD method stretching in the longitudinal direction after stretching in the longitudinal direction from the aspect of film quality or a TD / MD method stretching in the longitudinal direction after stretching in the width direction, The simultaneous biaxial stretching method which extends | stretches substantially the longitudinal direction and the width direction at the same time is preferable. In the case of the simultaneous biaxial stretching method, a tenter driven by a linear motor may be used. Moreover, you may use the multistage extending | stretching method which divides and extends in the same direction into multiple steps as needed.

As a film draw ratio at the time of biaxial stretching, it is preferable to make 1.6-4.2 times in a longitudinal direction and the width direction, Especially preferably, it is 1.7-4.0 times. In this case, the draw ratio in the longitudinal direction and the width direction may be either increased, or may be the same magnification. As for the draw ratio in a longitudinal direction, it is more preferable to carry out in 2.8 to 4.0 times and the draw ratio in a width direction at 3.0 to 4.5 times.

The extending | stretching condition at the time of manufacturing the polyester film for shaping | molding of this invention is not specifically limited. However, in order to satisfy the above characteristics defined in the present invention, it is preferable to employ the following conditions, for example.

In longitudinal stretch, it is more preferable to make extending | stretching temperature 50-110 degreeC, and draw ratio 1.6-4.0 times so that later lateral stretching may be performed smoothly.

Usually, when extending | stretching polyethylene terephthalate, when extending | stretching temperature is low compared with suitable conditions, since the yield stress rises rapidly at the beginning of lateral stretch, extending | stretching is impossible. Moreover, even if extending | stretching is possible, it is unpreferable since thickness and draw ratio tend to become nonuniform.

In addition, when the stretching temperature is higher than the appropriate conditions, the initial stress is lowered, but the stress is not increased even if the stretching ratio is increased. Therefore, it becomes a film with a small stress at 100% elongation at 25 degreeC. Therefore, by taking the optimal extending | stretching temperature, the film with high orientation can be obtained, ensuring stretchability.

However, when the said copolyester contains 1-40 mol% of copolymerization components, when extending | stretching temperature is raised so that yield stress may be removed, extending | stretching stress will fall rapidly. In particular, since the stress does not increase even in the latter half of the stretching, the orientation does not increase, and the stress at 100% elongation at 25 ° C decreases.

This phenomenon is likely to occur at a film thickness of 60 to 500 mu m, especially in a film having a thickness of 100 to 300 mu m. Therefore, in the case of the film using the copolymerized polyester of this invention, it is preferable to make extending | stretching temperature of a horizontal direction into the following conditions.

First, it is preferable to make preheating temperature into 50 degreeC-150 degreeC. Subsequently, in the first half of lateral stretching, the stretching temperature is preferably -20 ° C to + 25 ° C with respect to the preheating temperature, and particularly preferably -15 ° C to + 25 ° C. In addition, in the latter half of lateral stretching, the stretching temperature is preferably 0 ° C to -40 ° C, particularly preferably -10 ° C to -40 ° C, relative to the stretching temperature of the first half. By adopting such conditions, it is easy to stretch because the yield stress is small in the first half of the lateral stretching, and the orientation is easy in the second half. Moreover, it is preferable to make the draw ratio of a lateral direction 2.5-5.0 times. As a result, a film that satisfies F100 ₂₅ or F100 ₁₀₀ defined in the present invention can be obtained.

In addition, although heat processing of a film is performed after biaxial stretching, this heat processing can be performed by a conventionally well-known method, such as in oven or on a heated roll. In addition, heat processing temperature and heat processing time can be arbitrarily set according to the level of thermal contraction rate required. The heat treatment temperature is preferably in the range of 120 to 245 ° C, particularly preferably 150 to 240 ° C. It is preferable to perform heat processing time for 1 to 60 second. In addition, you may perform this heat processing, relaxing a film to the longitudinal direction and / or the width direction. Further, in the present invention, since the heat treatment temperature varies in a suitable range depending on the composition of the film raw material to be used even within the range of the heat treatment temperature, it is important to set the heat treatment temperature so that the surface orientation of the film is 0.095 or less. . The reason is explained in detail later.

In order to reduce the thermal contraction rate in 150 degreeC of the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction of a film, it is preferable to raise a heat processing temperature, lengthen a heat processing time, and to perform a relaxation process. Specifically, in order to make the heat shrinkage rate at 150 ° C in the longitudinal direction and the width direction of the film 6.0% or less, the heat treatment temperature is preferably performed at 200 to 220 ° C while relaxing at a relaxation rate of 1 to 8%. In addition, redrawing may be performed once or more in each direction, and heat processing may be performed after that.

In order to reduce the heat shrinkage rate at 150 ° C in the longitudinal direction and the transverse direction of the film, it is difficult to lengthen the production line to lengthen the heat treatment time due to equipment limitations. Moreover, when the feed rate of a film is made slow, productivity will fall. In this way, it is important to make the section temperature considerably low temperature around 100 ° C until the stretching section. On the other hand, in heat setting, it is important to rapidly heat up to a high temperature of about 200 ° C. Therefore, as a measure to solve the problem, it is encouraged as a preferred embodiment to provide a far infrared heater in the heat treatment zone to reinforce the heating.

In addition, a method of increasing the heating efficiency after the thermal insulation section by providing an insulation section of 1 m or more between the stretching section and the heat setting section. Specifically, the heating efficiency can be improved by strengthening the section for each section and reducing the leakage of heat flow. In addition, by adjusting the balance and strength of the air volume, a method of adjusting the pressure in the oven while ensuring the air volume may be used to suppress the leakage of heat flow. In addition, a method of adding an infrared heater to a strong heating section is also suitable for heating that is insufficient in hot wind heating. In addition, a method of increasing the amount of heating by increasing the length of the heat setting section and the number of sections is also effective.

As for the polyester film for shaping | molding of this invention, all the storage viscoelastic modulus (E ') in the longitudinal direction and the width direction of a film are 10-1000 Mpa at 100 degreeC, and are 5-40 Mpa at 180 degreeC. In order to achieve such storage viscoelasticity (E '), it is also important to control the plane orientation of the film to a specific range when producing a biaxially stretched film containing the above-mentioned copolyester as a constituent. That is, it is preferable to make the surface orientation of a film low to 0.095 or less, Especially preferably, it controls to 0.001-0.090. Thus, by making surface orientation low, the storage viscoelasticity (E ') of said film can be made small.

However, by simply lowering the plane orientation of the film, the storage viscoelastic modulus E 'of the film at 180 ° C becomes too small. In the case of using a co-polyester having a branched aliphatic glycol and / or an alicyclic glycol as a copolymerization component, which is a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as a film raw material, the molecular structure of these glycols is large, so that molecular mobility at high temperature is suppressed. can do. In addition, by lowering the plane orientation of the film using specific stretching conditions, the storage viscoelastic modulus (E ') of the film at 180 ° C. can be controlled by the raising means in the above range. In addition, the combined effect of the 1,3-propanediol residue or 1,4-butanediol residue illustrated as a preferable embodiment has microcrystals formed in the molecule | numerator of a copolyester by introduction of the component, and the above-mentioned storage viscoelastic modulus of 180 degreeC ( It is guessed that the effect which suppresses E ') becoming small too much is expressed.

As mentioned above, although it is one of preferable embodiment to set the surface orientation of a biaxially-oriented polyester film to a low level, the means of providing the characteristic is not limited, but is set arbitrarily. Generally, as a means of lowering the plane orientation, a method of lowering the draw ratio and a method of increasing the heat setting temperature are known, but the former method is not preferable because the thickness unevenness of the film is deteriorated. Therefore, the latter method is preferable. In the latter case, the above problem occurs, but it can be avoided by a method or the like exemplified as the preferred embodiment. In addition, in this invention, it is necessary to use a copolyester as a biaxially-oriented polyester film, and since melting | fusing point is low compared with a homogeneous polymer, when heat setting temperature is made high, a film will be attached to the clip which hold | maintains a film in a lateral stretch process. It is easy to fuse. Therefore, it is important that the vicinity of the clip is sufficiently cooled when the clip opens the film at the tenter exit. Specifically, in order to prevent fusion between the film and the clip, (1) a method of installing a heat shielding wall in the clip portion so that the clip is not easily heated, (2) a method of adding a clip cooling mechanism to the tenter, and (3) cooling In order to enhance the capacity, a method of sufficiently cooling the entire film by setting a long cooling section after heat setting, (4) increasing the cooling efficiency by increasing the length of the cooling section and the number of sections, and (5) the clip It is preferable to employ a method of enhancing cooling of the clip by using a type in which the return portion travels outside the furnace.

The molding polyester film of the present invention preferably has a light transmittance of 1% or less, more preferably 0.8% or less, particularly preferably 0.6% or less. By providing the characteristic, the light resistance of a printing layer improves when printing to a polyester film for shaping | molding, especially this film.

Although the method of controlling the light transmittance at the said wavelength of 350 nm to 1% or less is not limited, it is arbitrarily performed, but the method of mix | blending a ultraviolet absorber with any one of the structural layers of the polyester film for shaping | molding is encouraged. What is necessary is just to select suitably the ultraviolet absorber used by this method as long as it can provide the said characteristic. Either an inorganic type or an organic type may be used. As an organic type ultraviolet absorber, a benzotriazole type, a benzophenone type, a cyclic imino ester type, etc., and its combination are mentioned. From the viewpoint of heat resistance, benzotriazole type and cyclic imino ester type are preferable. When two or more types of ultraviolet absorbers are used in combination, ultraviolet rays of respective wavelengths can be absorbed at the same time, so that the ultraviolet absorbing effect can be further improved.

Examples of the benzotriazole ultraviolet absorbers include 2- [2'-hydroxy-5 '-(methacryloyloxymethyl) phenyl] -2H-benzotriazole and 2- [2'-hydroxy-5'-(meth Chryloyloxyethyl) phenyl] -2H-benzotriazole, 2- [2'-hydroxy-5 '-(methacryloyloxypropyl) phenyl] -2H-benzotriazole, 2- [2'- Hydroxy-5 '-(methacryloyloxyhexyl) phenyl] -2H-benzotriazole, 2- [2'-hydroxy-3'-tert-butyl-5'-(methacryloyloxyethyl) Phenyl] -2H-benzotriazole, 2- [2'-hydroxy-5'-tert-butyl-3 '-(methacryloyloxyethyl) phenyl] -2H-benzotriazole, 2- [2' -Hydroxy-5 '-(methacryloyloxyethyl) phenyl] -5-chloro-2H-benzotriazole, 2- [2'-hydroxy-5'-(methacryloyloxyethyl) phenyl] -5-methoxy-2H-benzotriazole, 2- [2'-hydroxy-5 '-(methacryloyloxyethyl) phenyl] -5-cyano-2H-benzotriazole, 2- [2 '-Hydroxy-5'-(methacryloyloxyethyl) phenyl] -5-tert-butyl-2H-benzotriazole, 2- [2 ' -Hydroxy-5 '-(methacryloyloxyethyl) phenyl] -5-nitro-2H-benzotriazole, and the like, but are not particularly limited thereto.

In the case where the above-mentioned organic ultraviolet absorber is blended into the film, since it is exposed to high temperature by the extrusion process, it is preferable to use a ultraviolet absorber having a decomposition initiation temperature of 290 ° C or higher in order to reduce process contamination during film formation. Do. It is not preferable to use the ultraviolet absorber whose decomposition start temperature is 290 degrees C or less, since the decomposition product of a ultraviolet absorber adheres to the roll group etc. of a manufacturing apparatus, etc. during film forming, and also re-attaches to a film or scratches and becomes an optical defect.

As described above, by using the polyester film for molding of the present invention, molding such as vacuum molding or pressure molding under a low pressure of 10 atm or less, which is difficult to mold in a conventional biaxially oriented polyester film, is performed. Also in the method, a molded article having good finish can be obtained. Moreover, since these molding methods are inexpensive molding cost, they are superior in the economics in manufacture of a molded article. Therefore, what is applied to these shaping | molding methods can exhibit the effect of the molding polyester film of this invention most effectively.

On the other hand, mold molding is expensive in terms of cost, and in terms of economical efficiency, it is characterized in that molded articles of a more complicated shape than the molding method are molded with high precision. Therefore, when mold-molding using the polyester film for shaping | molding used for this invention, compared with the conventional biaxially-oriented polyester film, it can shape | mold at lower molding temperature, and the finishing property of a molded article is improved. Significant effects are expressed.

In addition, the molded article thus formed is excellent in elasticity and form stability (heat shrinkage characteristic, thickness nonuniformity) when used in an ambient temperature atmosphere, and also excellent in solvent resistance and heat resistance, and low in environmental load. It can be used suitably as molding members, such as a name plate, a dummy can, a building material, a makeup board, a makeup steel plate, and a transfer sheet.

In addition to the molding method described above, the molding polyester film of the present invention is also suitable as a molding material material to be molded using molding methods such as press molding, laminate molding, in-mold molding, squeeze molding, bending molding, and the like.

Two coatings are taken at intervals of 200 mm in the longitudinal direction of each sample, and the distance A between the two coatings is measured under a constant tension (tension in the longitudinal direction) of 5 gf. Subsequently, one side of each thin rectangular sample is suspended in a basket with a clip under no load, and put into a gear oven under a 150 ° C atmosphere and timed. After 30 minutes, the basket is taken out of the gear oven and left at room temperature for 30 minutes. Then, with respect to each sample, the space | interval B of two coatings is read in 0.25 mm unit by a metal ruler under the constant tension (tension of a longitudinal direction) of 5 gf. The thermal contraction rate in 150 degreeC of each sample is computed by the following formula by the space | interval A and B which were read.

Subsequently, light irradiation was performed for 2000 hours continuously, and the color difference ((DELTA) E value) was measured based on JIS Z 8730 based on the color (a *, b *, L *) before and behind light irradiation on the printing surface side. The smaller the color difference (ΔE value), the smaller the change in color before and after light irradiation, that is, the better light resistance. The acceptance level of light resistance is 0.5 or less in color difference ((DELTA) E value). In addition, a color difference ((DELTA) E value) is computed by the following formula.
