- stretching longitudinal stretching
- the width of the film is reduced by 5% or more and 30% or less (hereinafter, this stretching method is referred to as a stretching method C).
- the film of the present invention is mainly composed of ethylene terephthalate.
- the main component means that 95 mol% or more of all polymer components constituting the film is ethylene terephthalate.
- Ethylene terephthalate may be all the constituent components of the polymer constituting the film, and as a method for polymerizing such polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter sometimes simply referred to as PET), terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol, and if necessary, Direct polymerization method in which other dicarboxylic acid component and diol component are directly reacted, and dimethyl ester of terephthalic acid (including methyl ester of other dicarboxylic acid if necessary) and ethylene glycol (if necessary, other diol component is added) Any production method such as a transesterification method in which a transesterification reaction is carried out can be used.
- PET polyethylene terephthalate

- the intrinsic viscosity of polyethylene terephthalate is preferably in the range of 0.45 to 0.8. If the intrinsic viscosity is lower than 0.45, it is not preferable because it is crystallized by stretching and shrinkage is lowered. On the other hand, if it is larger than 0.8, the increase in filtration pressure becomes large and high-precision filtration becomes difficult, which is not preferable.
- a PET bottle recycling raw material can be used among PET. (Hereafter, it may be simply referred to as a recycled material).
- Recycled raw materials generally contain PET as a constituent component in order to improve moldability when making PET bottles, but generally contain a little isophthalic acid as a monomer component.
- a polymer raw material containing a large amount of a monomer component that can be an amorphous component is not used in a large amount, but the recycled raw material may contain isophthalic acid. It is expressed that the amount is contained in the range of 0 to 5 mol%.
- a monomer that can be an amorphous component a typical example is isophthalic acid, for example, neopentyl glycol, 1.4-cyclohexanedimethanol, isophthalic acid, 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 2,2-diethyl 1,3-propanediol, 2n-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, 2,2-isopropyl-1,3-propanediol, 2,2-di-n-butyl- 1,3-propanediol and hexanediol can also be mentioned, and even if they are contained within the above-mentioned range, there is no problem.

- the difference in molecular orientation is large near the edge of the film, exceeding 15 ° / m. This is because neck-in occurs only in the vicinity of the end portion because the stretching distance is short and abrupt stretching is performed.
- a film having a temperature equal to or higher than Tg during film formation causes scratches on the film surface due to friction with the roll or displacement of the film when it comes into contact with the roll of the film forming machine.
- scratches having a depth of 1 ⁇ m or more and a length of 3 mm or more present on the surface are preferably 100 pieces / m 2 or less. If the number of scratches exceeds 100 / m 2 , the appearance such as the design of the film is impaired, which is not preferable.

- the heat-shrinkable polyester film of the present invention preferably has a tensile fracture strength in the width direction of 80 to 200 MPa.
- the measuring method of tensile fracture strength is demonstrated in an Example. If the above tensile fracture strength is less than 80 ⁇ ⁇ MPa, it is not preferable because the “waist” (stiffness) when attached to a container for labeling or banding film is weak. On the contrary, the tensile fracture strength exceeds 200 MPa. In this case, the cutting property (easy to tear) in the initial stage when tearing the label or banding film is unfavorable.
- the lower limit of the tensile fracture strength is more preferably 100 MPa or more, more preferably 110 MPa or more, particularly preferably 120 MPa or more, and the upper limit is more preferably 190 MPa or less, further preferably 180 MPa or less, more preferably 170 MPa or less.

- preferable biaxial stretching for obtaining the heat-shrinkable polyester film of the present invention will be described in detail in consideration of the difference from the stretching method of the conventional heat-shrinkable polyester film.
- a normal heat-shrinkable polyester film is produced by stretching an unstretched film in the direction in which it is desired to shrink. Although there was a high demand for heat-shrinkable polyester film that shrinks in the longitudinal direction from the past, simply stretching the unstretched film in the longitudinal direction significantly reduces the tensile fracture strength in the width direction. Since a wide film cannot be manufactured, it is not preferable in terms of productivity. In addition, since a normal heat-shrinkable polyester film uses a raw material containing a large amount of an amorphous component in order to impart heat-shrinkage characteristics, there is a limit to the ratio of mixing recycled raw materials.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a method of stretching an unstretched film in the order of transverse stretching-heat treatment-longitudinal stretching under predetermined conditions in order to improve mechanical properties in the longitudinal direction and the width direction.
- an amorphous monomer is contained in an amount of 10 mol% or more as a diol or dicarboxylic acid of the PET raw material, and there is a limit to the addition of the recycled raw material.
- the film forming method described in Patent Document 1 is not preferable because the orientation twist index is large and the orientation angle is large at the end, which causes distortion when wound around a container such as a lunch box.
- a plurality of rolls are brought into contact with the roll having a temperature equal to or higher than the film Tg of the longitudinal stretching machine in the longitudinal stretching, there is a problem that many scratches are generated on the surface due to friction and displacement with the film.
- the present invention has made it possible to lower the orientation twist index by making the longitudinal stretching distance much longer than usual and uniformly causing the neck-in phenomenon that occurs during longitudinal stretching in the film width direction.
- Neck-in is a phenomenon in which the film contracts in the width direction due to the force generated in the direction (width direction) perpendicular to the stretching direction during longitudinal stretching.
- stretching is performed between the low-speed roll and the high-speed roll (several millimeters), so the effect of neck-in occurs only near the edge of the film, and the neck suddenly increases in the longitudinal direction.
- the orientation angle near the end portion is greatly increased, and the orientation twist index is increased.
- the stretch distance of the longitudinal stretching is greatly increased, so that the influence of neck-in can be generated in the entire width, and the neck-in that is gentle in the longitudinal direction is enabled, and the orientation twist index is reduced. Realized that.
- the stretching method that greatly reduces scratches generated on the surface will be described below.
- the present inventor has devised a method for forming a shrink film that is stretched in the longitudinal direction without being brought into contact with a roll of Tg or more of the film, and can greatly reduce scratches on the film surface.
- the stretching method A after stretching in the longitudinal direction by using a simultaneous biaxial stretching machine and extending in the longitudinal direction by widening the clip interval, sufficient shrinkage without contact with the roll above Tg It was found that a film having a thickness can be formed.

- the present inventors intentionally used a film that does not use an amorphous PET raw material, the stretching ratio is around 2 times, and the shrinkage in the stretching direction is high. It has been found that the shrinkage rate of the is reduced. From this research result, in order to stretch biaxially and contract in the longitudinal direction, it is preferable to stretch at an initial transverse stretching ratio of 3.5 to 6 times.
- the shrinkage ratio in the width direction becomes high, and when shrinking as a label or banding film, defects such as wrinkles occur, which is not preferable. Further, when the unstretched film is stretched in the longitudinal direction without stretching in the width direction, the thickness unevenness in the longitudinal direction becomes large, which is not preferable.
- the upper limit of the transverse stretching ratio is not particularly specified, but if it is higher than 6 times, stretching in the longitudinal direction is difficult (so-called breakage tends to occur), which is not preferable.

- the shrinkage rate When shrinking as a label or banding film, the shrinkage rate is insufficient at 1.5 times or less, and at 2.5 times or more, the shrinkage rate in the width direction is greatly negative due to the high width shrinkage rate during longitudinal stretching. This is not preferable because it causes defects such as wrinkles. More preferably, they are 1.6 times or more and 2.4 times or less, More preferably, they are 1.8 times or more and 2.3 times or less.
- the stretching distance in the longitudinal direction is preferably 1000 mm or more and 7000 mm or less.
- a longitudinal stretching distance of 1000 mm or less is not preferable because a uniform neck-in does not occur across the entire width during longitudinal stretching. If it exceeds 7000 mm, the neck-in becomes too large, and the shrinkage rate in the width direction is greatly reduced, which is not preferable. More preferably, they are 1500 mm or more and 6500 mm or less, More preferably, they are 2000 mm or more and 6000 mm or less.

If it is less than 5%, uniform neck-in in the width direction does not occur, and the orientation twist index cannot be reduced, which is not preferable.

通常の熱収縮性ポリエステル系フィルムは、収縮させたい方向に未延伸フィルムを延伸することによって製造される。従来から長手方向に収縮する熱収縮性ポリエステル系フィルムについての要求は高かったものの、未延伸フィルムを単純に長手方向に延伸するだけでは、幅方向の引張破壊強さが大幅に低くなる上に、幅の広いフィルムが製造できないため生産性の点で好ましくない。また、通常の熱収縮性ポリエステルフィルムは、熱収縮特性を付与するため、非晶質成分を多く含む原料を用いるので、リサイクル原料を混合する比率には限界がある。
本発明者は研究の結果意図的に非晶PET原料を使用しないフィルムは延伸倍率2倍前後が延伸方向の収縮率が高くなり、延伸倍率を3倍より高くすると結晶化が進行するため延伸方向の収縮率は低下することが分かった。この研究結果より、二軸に延伸して長手方向に収縮させるには最初の横延伸倍率を3.5倍以上6倍以下で延伸することが好ましい。3.5倍より低いと幅方向の収縮率が高くなり、ラベルやバンディングフィルムとして収縮させた際に、シワ等の不良が発生するため好ましくない。また、幅方向の延伸を行わず未延伸フィルムを長手方向に延伸した場合、縦方向の厚み斑が大きくなり好ましくない。横延伸倍率の上限は特に規定は無いが6倍より高いと、長手方向に延伸し難くなる(所謂、破断が生じやすくなる)ので好ましくない。より好ましくは3.7倍以上5.8倍以下であり、更に好ましくは3.9倍以上5.6倍以下である。長手方向の延伸倍率は1.5倍以上2.5倍以下が好ましい。1.5倍以下では収縮率が不足し、2.5倍以上では縦延伸時の幅縮み率が高くなることにより幅方向の収縮率は大きくマイナスとなることが原因で、ラベルやバンディングフィルムとして収縮させた際にシワ等の不良を生じさせるため好ましくない。より好ましくは1.6倍以上2.4倍以下であり、更に好ましくは1.8倍以上2.3倍以下である。
縦延伸のネックインによって生じる幅方向の収縮の量を「縦延伸時の幅縮み率」と記述する。縦延伸時の幅縮み率は、延伸前のフィルムの幅をX、延伸後のフィルムの幅をYとした時、以下の式3で表される。
縦延伸時の幅縮み率(%) = 100 (X-Y) / X ・・・式3
縦延伸時の幅縮み率は、延伸倍率、縦延伸距離、ピンチロールの有無によって調整可能であるが、5%以上、30%以下が好ましい。5%を下回ると、幅方向に均一なネックインが生じず、配向ねじれ指数を低減できないため好ましくない。また、30%を上回ると、幅方向の収縮率が大幅に減少して大きくマイナス収縮となるため、シワ等の不良を生じさせるため好ましくない。より好ましくは、7%以上、27%以下であり、さらに好ましくは10%以上、24%以下である。
上記のピンチロールとは、ロールとロールの間でフィルムを挟み込み正確にフィルムを送るニップロールの一種であり、フィルム両端を外側に引っ張り、フィルムが外向きに送られるように、フィルム端部の位置に2つのニップロールを幅方向に左右対称にとりつけ、わずかであるがハの字に傾ける。
[Tg(ガラス転移点)]
セイコー電子工業株式会社製の示差走査熱量計(型式:DSC220)を用いて、JIS-K7121-1987に従って求めた。未延伸フィルム5mgを、-40℃から120℃まで、昇温速度10℃/分で昇温し、昇温プロファイルを得た。ガラス転移温度以下のベースラインの延長線と遷移部における最大傾斜を示す接線との交点の温度をガラス転移温度とした。
ポリエステル0.2gをフェノール/1,1,2,2-テトラクロルエタン(60/40(重量比))の混合溶媒50ml中に溶解し、30℃でオストワルド粘度計を用いて測定した。単位はdl/g。
フィルムを10cm×10cmの正方形に裁断し、所定温度±0.5℃の温水中において、無荷重状態で10秒間処理して熱収縮させた後、フィルムの縦および横方向の寸法を測定し、上式1にしたがって、それぞれ熱収縮率を求めた。当該熱収縮率の大きい方向を主収縮方向とした。
[配向ねじれ指数]
フィルムの幅方向の対向する左右の端縁において、長手方向;幅方向=140mm;100mmのサンプルを採取した。そして、それらの2つのサンプルについて、王子計測機器株式会社製の分子配向角測定装置(MOA-6004)を用いて分子配向角を測定した。
そして、左右の端縁から採取した各サンプルの分子配向角度の差の絶対値を算出し、その差の絶対値を、下式2により、サンプルの切り出し位置(中央部分)同士のフィルム幅方向の間隔で除すことによって、単位幅(1m)当たりの分子配向角度の差を算出して、配向ねじれ指数とした。
配向ねじれ指数 = (各サンプル分子配向角度の差の絶対値) ÷ (サンプルの切り出し位置同士の間隔) ・・・式2

光学欠点検出方法は、投光器として20W;2灯の蛍光灯をXYテーブル下方400mmに設置し、XYテーブル上に設けたスリット幅10mmのマスク上に測定対象の試験片を載せた。投光器と受光器を結ぶ線と、試験片表面の鉛直方向のなす角度を12°となるように光を入射すると、入射位置の試験片にキズが存在する場合に、その部分が光り輝く。その部分の光量をXYテーブル上方500mmに設置したCCDイメージセンサカメラで電気信号に変換し、その電気信号を増幅し、微分してスレッシュホールド(閾値)レベルとコンパレータで比較して、光学欠点の検出信号を出力する。また、CCDイメージセンサカメラを用いて、キズの画像を入力し、入力された画像のビデオ信号を所定の手順により解析して、光学欠点の大きさを計測し、50μm以上の欠点の位置を表示した。光学欠点の検出は、試験片の両面について行った。
(2)キズの大きさの測定
上記(1)において検出される光学欠点部分から、キズによる欠点を選出した。上記の試験片を適当な大きさに裁断し、マイクロマップ社製3次元形状測定装置TYPE550を用いて、試験片表面に対して垂直方向から観察し、キズの大きさを測定した。試験片、すなわちフィルム表面に対して垂直方向から観察した時に、50μm以内に近接するキズの凹凸は同一のキズとして考え、それらのキズの最外部を覆う最小面積の長方形の長さ及び幅を、キズの長さおよび幅とした。キズの最も高い所と最も低いところの高さの差を深さとし、深さ1μm以上且つ長さ3mm以上の全キズの個数(個/m2)を求めた。
測定方向(フィルム幅方向)が140mm、測定方向と直交する方向(フィルム長手方向)が20mmの短冊状の試験片を作製した。万能引張試験機「DSS-100」(島津製作所製)を用いて、試験片の両端をチャックで片側20 mmずつ把持(チャック間距離100 mm)して、雰囲気温度23℃、引張速度200 mm/minの条件にて引張試験を行い、引張破壊時の強度(応力)を引張破壊強さとした。
フィルム長手方向を長さ30 m×幅40 mmの長尺なロール状にサンプリングし、ミクロン測定器株式会社製の連続接触式厚み計を用いて、5(m/分)の速度で測定した。なお、上記したロール状のフィルム試料のサンプリングにおいては、フィルム試料の長さ方向をフィルムの主収縮方向とした。測定時の最大厚みをTmax.、最小厚みをTmin.、平均厚みをTave.とし、下式4からフィルムの長手方向の厚み斑を算出した。
