Definitions

  • Isotropic low haze films are known. For example, acrylic and COC sheets/rolls are available in the marketplace. However, these films suffer from challenging physical properties, and thin versions of isotropic films such as these (or copolyesters) are extremely expensive, if available at all, and are very challenging to work with. Also, these films do not inherently provide for the required amount of UV light blockage.

  • Embodiments of this invention include multi-layer films, and processes to make the films, that enable the delivery of a substrate featuring a peelable thin layer of low haze, amorphous, isotropic film with the desired properties of high modulus, high usage temperature, UV blockage, and toughness.
  • a multi-layer co-extrusion, co-orientation and annealing process is used to enable the delivery of a thin isotropic, UV blocking layer on top of a release layer and support substrate.
  • These film constructions can be kept together during additional processing steps such as coating and converting.
  • the release and dimensionally stable substrate layer can be easily removed once processing steps are completed.
  • Solvent coating the exemplary isotropic materials for the multi-layer films of this invention would be challenging, as solubility of higher MW (20,000+ amu) aromatic polyesters is very limited. Low solids, and undesirable solvent choices such as trifluoroacetic acid or o-cholorbenzene/phenol are two examples of the limited set of solvents which can provide some level of solubility.
  • Extrusion coating wide clean, uniform layers of material can also be quite challenging. Thin extrusion coated layers are frequently limited by melt integrity, line speed capability and caliper control, and tend to have a lower bound of around 20 microns. Additionally, the co-extrusion process itself imparts a degree of birefringence/retardance to many polymers, including the materials used in the multi-layer films of this invention.
  • Thin, low haze films that exhibit surprisingly low isotropic performance have been made through a process which involves co-extrusion with a carrier substrate providing dimensional stability and a peel layer, co-orientation of the layers of film and annealing the film.
  • the orientation and annealing process for the multi-layer films of the present invention reduces the birefringence/retardance to desirable levels.
  • the co-extrusion process for the multi-layer films of the present invention can provide pristine clean surfaces and avoids the surface defects and die build-up (oligomer) issues typical to the extrusion coating process.
