Description

Adhesive composition, adhesive film and surface protective film

The present invention provides an adhesive composition having antistatic properties and an adhesive film and a surface protective film which form an adhesive layer having antistatic properties on at least one side of a resin film using the adhesive composition.

Further, the present invention relates to a surface protective film used in a manufacturing step of a liquid crystal display. More specifically, the present invention relates to an adhesive composition for a surface protective film which is adhered to a surface of an optical member such as a polarizing plate, a phase difference plate, and an antireflection film which constitute a liquid crystal display, and surface protection using the adhesive composition membrane.

The adhesive film and surface protective film of the present invention have particularly excellent antistatic properties. Therefore, it is applied to the surface of an optical film such as a polarizing plate, a phase difference plate, or an antireflection film which is a constituent member of a plastic film which is easy to generate static electricity, to protect the surface.

In the manufacturing process of an optical member such as a polarizing plate, a phase difference plate, or an antireflection film which is a member constituting a liquid crystal display, a surface protective film for temporary protection is adhered to the surface of the optical member. Such a surface protective film is used only in the step of manufacturing an optical member, and when the optical member is inserted into the liquid crystal display, it is peeled off from the optical member and removed. Since such a surface protective film for protecting the surface of the optical member is used only in the manufacturing step, it is also generally referred to as a "step film".

For such a surface protective film used in the step of manufacturing an optical member, there is optical An adhesive layer is formed on one surface of a transparent polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin film. A release-treated release film for protecting the adhesive layer is attached to the adhesive layer until it is attached to the optical member.

In addition, an optical member such as a polarizing plate, a phase difference plate, or an anti-reflection film is subjected to optical evaluation such as display performance, color tone, contrast, and impurity incorporation of the liquid crystal display panel in a state in which the surface protective film is bonded. Inspection, therefore, as a performance requirement for the surface protective film, it is required that the adhesive layer does not have bubbles or adhere to impurities.

In addition, in recent years, when the surface protective film is peeled off from an optical member such as a polarizing plate, a retardation film, or an antireflection film, the static electricity generated by the static electricity generated when the adhesive layer is peeled off from the adherend may be affected. The failure of the electrical control circuit to the liquid crystal display requires that the adhesive layer have excellent antistatic properties.

Further, when the surface protective film is bonded to an optical member such as a polarizing plate, a retardation film, or an antireflection film, the surface protective film may be temporarily peeled off and the surface protective film may be reattached again for various reasons. At this time, the surface protective film is required to have a property (reworkability) which is easily peeled off from the optical member to be bonded. Further, at this time, it is required that the adhesive layer of the surface protective film does not contaminate the adherend, that is, the phenomenon that the so-called adhesive remains does not occur.

Further, when the surface protective film is peeled off from an optical member such as a final polarizing plate, a retardation film, or an antireflection film, it is required to be peeled off quickly. That is, it is required that the adhesion force is small due to the change in the peeling speed, so that it can be quickly peeled off even in the case of high-speed peeling.

As described above, in recent years, from the viewpoint of easy handling when using a surface protective film, it is required that the adhesive layer constituting the surface protective film has the following properties: (1) A balance of adhesion is obtained at a peeling speed in a low speed region and a high speed region. (2) Preventing the occurrence of adhesive residue; (3) having excellent antistatic properties; and (4) having rework performance.

However, even if the performance requirements for the adhesive layer constituting the surface protective film can be satisfied, that is, even if the individual performance requirements in the above (1) to (4) can be respectively satisfied, the adhesive layer which satisfies the surface protective film at the same time is satisfied. It is a very difficult subject to have all the performance requirements of (1) to (4).

In the present specification, the "low speed region" means a region in which the peeling speed is in the vicinity of 0.3 m/min; and the "high speed region" refers to a region in which the peeling speed is in the vicinity of 30 m/min.

For example, regarding (1) the balance of the adhesive force at the peeling speed of the low speed region and the high speed region, and (2) the prevention of the occurrence of the adhesive residue, the following proposals are known.

a copolymer of a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester having an alkyl group having 7 or less carbon atoms and a carboxyl group-containing copolymerizable compound as a main component and cross-linking it with a crosslinking agent. In the acrylic adhesive layer, when the adhesive is applied for a long period of time, there is a problem that the adhesive moves to the adherend to adhere to the adherend, and the adhesion to the adherend is increased with time. . In order to avoid this problem, there is known a technical solution in which an adhesive layer is used which uses an alkyl (meth)acrylate having an alkyl group having 8 to 10 carbon atoms and an alcoholic hydroxyl group. An adhesive layer obtained by crosslinking a copolymer of a copolymerizable compound and crosslinking it with a crosslinking agent (Patent Document 1).

Further, there has been proposed a technical solution in which an adhesive layer is provided by blending a small amount of (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester and a carboxyl group-containing copolymerization property in the same copolymer as described above. A copolymer of a compound and an adhesive layer obtained by crosslinking it with a crosslinking agent. However, when it is used for the surface protection of a plastic plate or the like having a low surface tension and a smooth surface, there is a problem of peeling phenomenon such as separation due to heating during processing or storage, and high-speed peeling in the field of manual operation. The problem of poor removability.

In order to solve these problems, an adhesive composition is proposed which is: a) a (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester having an alkyl group having 8 to 10 carbon atoms as a main component (methyl group) To 100 parts by weight of the alkyl acrylate, b) 1 to 15 parts by weight of a carboxyl group-containing copolymerizable compound, and c) 3 to 100 parts by weight of a vinyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms of an aliphatic carboxylic acid; An adhesive composition in which a copolymer of a monomer mixture is obtained by esterification, and a crosslinking agent having a carboxyl group equivalent or more of the above b) component is blended in the copolymer (Patent Document 2).

In the adhesive composition described in Patent Document 2, peeling phenomenon such as separation does not occur during processing or storage, and the adhesive strength is not greatly increased over time, and the removability is excellent. In addition, even if it is stored for a long period of time, especially in a high-temperature environment, it can be peeled off with a small force. At this time, no adhesive remains on the adhered body, and even in the case of high-speed peeling, it can be small. The power is then stripped.

In addition, as a method for imparting antistatic properties to the surface protective film, (3) excellent antistatic performance, a method of mixing an antistatic agent into a base film, or the like has been proposed. As the antistatic agent, for example, various cationic antistatic agents of (a) a 4-grade ammonium salt, a pyridinium salt, a cationic group having a primary to tertiary amine group, and the like; (b) a sulfonate group and a sulfate salt are disclosed. Anionic antistatic agent such as an anion group such as a phosphate group, a phosphonate group or a phosphonate group; (c) an amphoteric antistatic agent such as an amino acid or an amine sulfate; (d) an amino alcohol or a glycerin And a nonionic antistatic agent such as a polyethylene glycol; (e) a polymer type antistatic agent obtained by polymerizing the antistatic agent as described above (Patent Document 3).

Further, in recent years, it has been proposed to include such an antistatic agent in a substrate film or directly in an adhesive layer instead of being applied to the surface of a substrate film.

Further, regarding (4) reworkability, for example, an adhesive composition is proposed which is a curing agent containing 0.0001 to 10 parts by weight of an isocyanate compound per 100 parts by weight of the acrylic resin. It is obtained by a specific citrate oligomer (Patent Document 4).

Patent Document 4 describes, as a main monomer, an alkyl acrylate having an alkyl group having a carbon number of 2 to 12 or an alkyl methacrylate having an alkyl group having a carbon number of 4 to 12 or so. The component may contain, for example, a monomer component containing another functional group such as a carboxyl group-containing monomer. In general, it is preferable to contain 50% by weight or more of the above-mentioned main monomer, and it is desirable that the content of the monomer component containing a functional group is 0.001 to 50% by weight, preferably 0.001 to 25% by weight, more preferably 0.01%. 25 wt%. The adhesive composition described in Patent Document 4 has a small change in the cohesive force and the adhesive force over time even under high temperature or high temperature and high humidity, and exhibits an excellent effect on the adhesion of the curved surface, and thus has an additional effect. Processability.

In general, when the adhesive layer is soft, the adhesive remains easily and the reworkability is easily lowered. That is, it is difficult to peel off after the wrong bonding, and it is difficult to re-stick. From this point of view, in order to impart reworkability, it is necessary to crosslink a monomer having a functional group such as a carboxyl group to the main component so that the adhesive layer has a certain hardness.

In the prior art, it is required that the adhesive layer constituting the surface protective film has the following properties: a balance of adhesion at a peeling speed in a low speed region and a high speed region; excellent antistatic property; and reworkability. However, even if it can satisfy the above (1) to (4) respectively The performance requirements of the other items do not meet the full performance requirements of (1) to (4) required for the adhesive layer of the surface protective film.

In the acrylic polymer, a polyalkylene glycol mono(meth)acrylate monomer, a hydroxyl group-free nitrogen-containing vinyl monomer, and an alkoxy group-containing (meth)acrylic acid alkyl group may also be used. Other monomers such as an ester monomer and a quaternary ammonium salt type ionic compound containing an acrylonitrile group are copolymerized.

The adhesive composition of the present invention can be formulated by blending a crosslinking agent, an antistatic agent, and any appropriate additives in the above acrylic polymer.

Preferably, the adhesive layer obtained by crosslinking the adhesive composition has an adhesive force of 0.3 to 0.1 N/25 mm at a peeling speed of 0.3 m/min in a low speed region, and a peeling speed of 30 m/min at a high speed region. The adhesion is 1.0N/25mm or less. Thereby, it is possible to obtain a performance in which the change in the adhesive force with the peeling speed is small, and it is possible to quickly peel off even in the case of high-speed peeling. and, Even if the surface protective film is temporarily peeled off for re-adhesive, it does not require excessive force and is easily peeled off from the adherend.

Preferably, the adhesive layer obtained by crosslinking the adhesive composition has a surface resistivity of 5.0 × 10 ^{+ 11} Ω / port or less, and a peeling static voltage of ± 0 - 0.5 kV. Further, in the present invention, the term "±0 to 0.5 kV" means "0 to -0.5 kV" and "0 to +0.5 kV", that is, "-0.5 to +0.5 kV". When the surface resistivity of the adhesive layer is large, when the surface protective film is peeled off, the adhesive layer releases poor static electricity due to charging. By making the surface resistivity of the adhesive layer sufficiently small, it is possible to reduce the peeling static voltage caused by static electricity generated when the adhesive layer is peeled off from the adherend, and it is possible to suppress the influence on the electric control circuit or the like of the adherend.

It is preferred that the adhesive layer (adhesive after crosslinking) obtained by crosslinking the adhesive composition of the present invention has a gel fraction of 95 to 100%. Since the gel fraction is so high, the adhesion does not become excessive at a low peeling speed, and the phenomenon of eluting unpolymerized monomers or oligomers from the acrylic polymer is lowered, thereby improving reworkability and high temperature. / Durability under high humidity and inhibit contamination by adherends.

The adhesive film of the present invention is formed by forming an adhesive layer on one or both sides of a resin film which is obtained by crosslinking the adhesive composition of the present invention. Further, the surface protective film of the present invention is obtained by forming an adhesive layer on one side of a resin film which is obtained by crosslinking the adhesive composition of the present invention. In the adhesive composition of the present invention, since the components of the acrylic polymer are blended with good balance, the antistatic property is excellent, and the balance of adhesion at a peeling speed in a low-speed region and a high-speed region is excellent. excellent. Further, the durability and the reworkability were also excellent (after the ink pen was drawn on the surface protective film via the adhesive layer, no contamination was transferred to the adherend). Therefore, it can be preferably used as a surface protective film for a polarizing plate.

As the base film of the adhesive layer and the release film (separator) which protects the adhesive surface, a resin film such as a polyester film or the like can be used.

For the substrate film, the surface of the resin film opposite to the side on which the adhesive layer is formed can be The antifouling treatment by an antimony ketone, a fluorine-based release agent, a coating agent, cerium oxide fine particles or the like can be carried out by an antistatic treatment by application or mixing of an antistatic agent.

In the release film, a release treatment by an anthrone or a fluorine release agent is performed on the surface on the side where the adhesive surface of the adhesive layer is bonded.

Using a tensile tester, the above-obtained measurement sample was peeled off in a 180° direction at a peeling speed (0.3 m/min) in a low speed region and a peeling speed (30 m/min) in a high speed region (a 25 mm wide surface protective film was used) The sample which was bonded to the surface of the polarizing plate was measured for peel strength, and the peel strength was used as an adhesive force.

<surface resistivity>

After aging, before adhering to the polarizing plate, peeling off the peeling film (PET film coated with fluorenone resin) to expose the adhesive layer, using a resistivity meter (trade name "HirestaUP-HT450", Mitsubishi Chemical Analysis Technology (manufactured by Mitsubishi Chemical Analytech Co., Ltd.), the surface resistivity of the adhesive layer was measured.

<peeling static voltage>

Using a high-precision electrostatic sensor (model: SK-035, SK-200, manufactured by Keyence Corporation), the tensile test rate of 30 m/min was obtained for the above-obtained measurement sample. When 180° peeling is performed, the voltage (static voltage) generated when the polarizing plate is charged is used, and the maximum value of the measured value is taken as the peeling static voltage.

<Reworkability>

The reworkability was evaluated based on the above criteria.

<Durability>

After the measurement sample obtained above was placed in an environment of 60 ° C and 90% RH for 250 hours, it was taken out and left at room temperature for further 12 hours, and then the adhesion was measured, and it was confirmed that there was no significant difference compared with the initial adhesion. increase. Evaluation criteria of durability: When the adhesion after the test was 1.5 times or less of the initial adhesion, it was evaluated as "○", and when it was more than 1.5 times, it was evaluated as "X".

And (4) have reworkability.

The surface protective film of Comparative Example 1 may be due to too little (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester as a main component, too many hydroxyl group-containing copolymerizable monomers, and no copolymerizable monomer having a carboxyl group. The peeling speed in the low speed region is small at 0.3 m/min, the surface resistivity and the peeling static voltage are high, and the durability is poor.

In the surface protective film of Comparative Example 2, since the carboxyl group-containing copolymerizable monomer is excessively large with respect to the main component (meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester and the content of the isocyanate curing agent is large, the effective period becomes too short and Crosslinking has been carried out before coating, so coating cannot be performed.

The surface protective film of Comparative Example 3 may be an adhesive force at a peeling speed of 0.3 m/min in a low speed region due to the absence of a copolymerizable monomer having a carboxyl group, a crosslinking agent, and an antistatic agent. The peeling speed at a high speed region of 30 m/min is too large, the surface resistivity and the peeling static voltage are high, and the workability and durability are poor.
