 本実施形態に係る積層フィルムにおいて、基材フィルムと中間層とが直接接触していることが好ましい。図1に示す積層フィルム50の場合、基材フィルム51と中間層521とが直接接触しており、中間層521と剥離剤層522とが直接接触している。
 図2Aは、延伸工程により、図1に示す積層フィルム50が長手方向(搬送方向)に延伸されたときの、積層フィルム50Aの断面図の一例である。
 図2Aには、延伸された積層フィルム50Aのコーティング層52A(中間層521A及び剥離剤層522A)に、複数のクラック523が生じている状態が示されている。図2Aの場合、中間層521A及び剥離剤層522Aの両方に、複数のクラック523が生じている。
FIG. 1 is an example of a cross-sectional view of a laminated film 50 that can be used in the coating layer removal method according to the present embodiment.
Laminated film 50 has a base film 51 and a coating layer 52. The coating layer 52 includes an intermediate layer 521 and a release agent layer 522, and the intermediate layer 521 is disposed between the base film 51 and the release agent layer 522. That is, in the laminated film 50, a base film 51, an intermediate layer 521, and a release agent layer 522 are laminated in this order.
In FIG. 1, a indicates the surface of the intermediate layer 521 on the base film side, and b indicates the surface of the intermediate layer 521 on the release agent layer side. d indicates the surface of the release agent layer, and c indicates the surface of the release agent layer 522 on the intermediate layer side.
In the laminated film according to this embodiment, it is preferable that the base film and the intermediate layer are in direct contact with each other. In the case of the laminated film 50 shown in FIG. 1, the base film 51 and the intermediate layer 521 are in direct contact, and the intermediate layer 521 and the release agent layer 522 are in direct contact.
FIG. 2A is an example of a cross-sectional view of the laminated film 50A when the laminated film 50 shown in FIG. 1 is stretched in the longitudinal direction (conveyance direction) by the stretching process.
FIG. 2A shows a state in which a plurality of cracks 523 have occurred in the coating layer 52A (intermediate layer 521A and release agent layer 522A) of the stretched laminated film 50A. In the case of FIG. 2A, a plurality of cracks 523 are generated in both the intermediate layer 521A and the release agent layer 522A.
 本実施形態において、延伸工程とは、コーティング層にクラックを生じさせる工程である。コーティング層にクラックを生じさせるとは、コーティング層の厚み方向にひび割れ(亀裂)が生じることを意味し、基材フィルムとの界面にまで到達するクラックが生じることが好ましい(例えば図2A)。
 なお、コーティング層の厚み方向へのひび割れ(亀裂)は、中間層及び剥離剤層の少なくともいずれかに生じればよいが、中間層及び剥離剤層の両方に生じることが好ましい。
 コーティング層に生じるクラックは、初め延伸方向に対して略直交する方向に沿って形成され、さらに延伸することにより延伸方向に沿ってクラックが生じる。コーティング層にクラックが生じることで、次の工程で積層フィルムを温水に浸漬させる際に、コーティング層への温水の浸潤面積が増えるため、コーティング層の分離(剥離)のスピードを速くすることができる。
 なお、特許文献1で使用される積層フィルムは、延伸工程を経ずに、積層フィルムを温水へ浸漬させるため、本実施形態の除去方法に比べ、表面積層部(水溶性樹脂層及び表面機能層)の分離(剥離)のスピードが遅くなると考えられる。
 積層フィルムを延伸することにより、基材フィルム上のコーティング層がクラックによって外周を囲まれた小片状となることが好ましい。図2Bは、コーティング層にクラックが生じた状態を示す顕微鏡写真であり、積層フィルムをコーティング層の側から見た上面図である。
 また、コーティング層にクラックが生じるときの衝撃で、基材フィルムとコーティング層に部分的に剥離が生じる場合がある。図2Bの顕微鏡写真において、多角形の外周が白く見える箇所は、クラックの近傍でコーティング層が基材フィルムとの界面で浮き剥がれ、空気を巻き込んだ箇所である。このような剥離が生じれば、次の工程で積層フィルムを温水に浸漬させる際に、コーティング層への温水の浸潤面積がより増えるため、コーティング層の分離(剥離)のスピードをより速くすることができる。
 また、本実施形態に係るコーティング層の除去方法によれば、ロールツーロール方式で連続して各工程を実施するため、コーティング層の除去及び基材フィルムの巻き取りを効率よく行うことができる。
In this embodiment, the stretching process is a process of causing cracks in the coating layer. Creating cracks in the coating layer means that cracks occur in the thickness direction of the coating layer, and preferably cracks that reach the interface with the base film occur (for example, FIG. 2A).
Note that cracks in the thickness direction of the coating layer may occur in at least one of the intermediate layer and the release agent layer, but preferably occur in both the intermediate layer and the release agent layer.
Cracks that occur in the coating layer are initially formed along a direction substantially perpendicular to the stretching direction, and as the coating layer is further stretched, cracks are generated along the stretching direction. When cracks occur in the coating layer, when the laminated film is immersed in hot water in the next process, the area that the hot water infiltrates into the coating layer increases, making it possible to speed up the separation (peeling) of the coating layer. .
In addition, in the laminated film used in Patent Document 1, the laminated film is immersed in hot water without going through a stretching process. ) is considered to slow down the separation (peeling) speed.
It is preferable that by stretching the laminated film, the coating layer on the base film becomes a small piece surrounded by cracks. FIG. 2B is a micrograph showing a state in which cracks have occurred in the coating layer, and is a top view of the laminated film viewed from the coating layer side.
Furthermore, the impact caused when cracks occur in the coating layer may cause partial separation between the base film and the coating layer. In the micrograph of FIG. 2B, the areas where the outer periphery of the polygon appears white are areas where the coating layer has peeled off at the interface with the base film near the cracks, trapping air. If this kind of peeling occurs, when the laminated film is immersed in hot water in the next step, the area of hot water infiltrating the coating layer will increase, which will speed up the separation (peeling) of the coating layer. I can do it.
Moreover, according to the method for removing a coating layer according to the present embodiment, since each step is performed continuously in a roll-to-roll manner, the removal of the coating layer and the winding up of the base film can be performed efficiently.
 本実施形態に係る積層フィルムにおいて、中間層は親水性かつ非水溶性であることが好ましい。図1及び図2Aを用いて説明する。
 中間層が親水性である場合、本実施形態の効果(積層フィルムからコーティング層を容易に除去できる効果)がより発現される。その理由は以下のように考えられる。
 延伸工程を実施する前の積層フィルム50において、中間層521は、主に、水素結合とアンカー効果とによって、基材フィルム51と密着している(図1)。延伸工程を実施した後の積層フィルム50Aは、中間層521A及び剥離剤層522Aに複数のクラック523が生じる(図2A)。除去工程では、図2Aに示す積層フィルム50Aが温水に浸漬され搬送される。その際に、中間層521Aが親水性であると、基材フィルム51と中間層521Aとの界面にクラック523を介して温水がより浸潤し易くなり、中間層521A及び基材フィルム51の間の水素結合及びアンカー効果が弱められる。その結果、中間層521Aが剥離剤層522Aと共に基材フィルム51からより剥がれ易くなる。
In the laminated film according to this embodiment, the intermediate layer is preferably hydrophilic and water-insoluble. This will be explained using FIGS. 1 and 2A.
When the intermediate layer is hydrophilic, the effect of this embodiment (the effect that the coating layer can be easily removed from the laminated film) is more effectively achieved. The reason for this is thought to be as follows.
In the laminated film 50 before the stretching process, the intermediate layer 521 is in close contact with the base film 51 mainly due to hydrogen bonds and anchor effects (FIG. 1). In the laminated film 50A after the stretching process, a plurality of cracks 523 occur in the intermediate layer 521A and the release agent layer 522A (FIG. 2A). In the removal process, the laminated film 50A shown in FIG. 2A is immersed in hot water and transported. At that time, if the intermediate layer 521A is hydrophilic, hot water will more easily infiltrate into the interface between the base film 51 and the intermediate layer 521A through the cracks 523, and the Hydrogen bonds and anchoring effects are weakened. As a result, the intermediate layer 521A is more easily peeled off from the base film 51 together with the release agent layer 522A.
 中間層が非水溶性である場合、中間層521Aの成分が温水中に溶出することが抑制される。よって、中間層521Aが非水溶性であることで、コーティング層52Aを除去する工程(除去工程)で使用する温水の汚染を防止でき、当該温水を再利用し易くなる。 When the intermediate layer is water-insoluble, the components of the intermediate layer 521A are suppressed from eluting into hot water. Therefore, since the intermediate layer 521A is water-insoluble, it is possible to prevent contamination of the hot water used in the process of removing the coating layer 52A (removal process), and it becomes easy to reuse the hot water.
 本明細書において、中間層が「親水性」であるか否かは、中間層の基材フィルム側表面の水の接触角が55度以下である場合、当該中間層は親水性であると判断する。
 図1で示す積層フィルム50の場合、中間層521の基材フィルム側表面(図1中、符号a)の水の接触角が55度以下である場合、当該中間層521は親水性である。
 また、基材フィルムの分離性の促進の観点から、当該接触角は、好ましくは50度以下、より好ましくは45度以下である。当該接触角は、積層フィルムから基材フィルムを分離させた後、すなわち、中間層を水と接触させ、中間層と基材フィルムとの界面を剥離させた後、中間層の基材フィルムに接触していた面(剥離面)の、水の接触角を測定して得られる値である。
In this specification, whether an intermediate layer is "hydrophilic" is determined to be hydrophilic if the contact angle of water on the surface of the intermediate layer on the base film side is 55 degrees or less. do.
In the case of the laminated film 50 shown in FIG. 1, if the contact angle of water on the surface of the intermediate layer 521 on the base film side (in FIG. 1, reference numeral a) is 55 degrees or less, the intermediate layer 521 is hydrophilic.
Further, from the viewpoint of promoting the separability of the base film, the contact angle is preferably 50 degrees or less, more preferably 45 degrees or less. The contact angle is determined when the base film of the intermediate layer is contacted after the base film is separated from the laminated film, that is, after the intermediate layer is brought into contact with water and the interface between the intermediate layer and the base film is peeled off. This value is obtained by measuring the contact angle of water on the surface (peeled surface).
 具体的には、以下の方法で、基材フィルムから中間層を分離し中間層の基材フィルム側表面の水の接触角を測定する。得られた値を中間層の基材フィルム側表面の水の接触角とする。
 積層フィルムの剥離剤層表面に、幅50mmの粘着テープ(日東電工株式会社製、製品名「ポリエステル粘着テープNo.31B」)を貼付し、その後、50mm×50mmのサイズに裁断して試験片を作製する。
 次いで、容量500mLのガラス製ビーカーに300mLの温水を充填し、試験片全体を90℃の温水中に浸漬して3時間放置する。その後、試験片が、剥離剤層と中間層が一体となって粘着テープに担持された積層体と、基材フィルムとに分離されていることを確認し、剥離剤層と中間層を担持した粘着テープを温水中から取り出し、室温下で24時間乾燥させる。その後、粘着テープ上に担持されている中間層の表面(基材フィルム表面に接触していた中間層の表面)について接触角を測定する。接触角は、接触角計(協和界面科学株式会社製、製品名「DM-701」)を使用し、静滴法によってJIS R3257:1999に準じて測定する。液滴については、蒸留水を使用する。
Specifically, the intermediate layer is separated from the base film and the contact angle of water on the surface of the intermediate layer on the base film side is measured by the following method. The obtained value is taken as the contact angle of water on the surface of the intermediate layer on the base film side.
Adhesive tape with a width of 50 mm (manufactured by Nitto Denko Corporation, product name "Polyester Adhesive Tape No. 31B") was pasted on the surface of the release agent layer of the laminated film, and then cut into a size of 50 mm x 50 mm to form a test piece. Create.
Next, a glass beaker with a capacity of 500 mL is filled with 300 mL of warm water, and the entire test piece is immersed in 90° C. warm water and left for 3 hours. After that, it was confirmed that the test piece was separated into a laminate in which the release agent layer and the intermediate layer were integrally supported on the adhesive tape, and a base film, and the release agent layer and the intermediate layer were supported. Remove the adhesive tape from the warm water and dry at room temperature for 24 hours. Thereafter, the contact angle is measured on the surface of the intermediate layer supported on the adhesive tape (the surface of the intermediate layer that was in contact with the surface of the base film). The contact angle is measured by the sessile drop method using a contact angle meter (manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd., product name "DM-701") according to JIS R3257:1999. For droplets, use distilled water.
 本明細書において、中間層が「非水溶性」であるか否かは、以下の方法を用いて測定される剥離剤層表面(図1中、符号d)の水の接触角と、中間層の基材フィルム側表面(図1中、符号a)の水の接触角との差が30度以上である場合、当該中間層は非水溶性であると判断する。当該接触角の差は、好ましくは40度以上、より好ましくは50度以上である。この差の値が小さい場合は、中間層を構成する成分が水に溶出して、部分的に表出した剥離剤層を測定したことを意味する。
 また、剥離剤層表面の水の接触角は特に制限はないが、通常80度以上を示し、好ましくは85度以上、より好ましくは90度以上である。また、剥離剤層表面の水の接触角の上限値は通常150度であり、好ましくは140度であり、より好ましくは130度である。
 剥離剤層表面の水の接触角は、接触角計(協和界面科学株式会社製、製品名「DM-701」)を使用し、静滴法によってJIS R3257:1999に準じて測定される。液滴については、蒸留水を使用する。
In this specification, whether or not the intermediate layer is "water-insoluble" is determined by the contact angle of water on the release agent layer surface (symbol d in FIG. 1) measured using the following method and the intermediate layer. If the difference between the water contact angle on the base film side surface (in FIG. 1, reference numeral a) is 30 degrees or more, the intermediate layer is determined to be water-insoluble. The difference in contact angle is preferably 40 degrees or more, more preferably 50 degrees or more. If the value of this difference is small, it means that the components constituting the intermediate layer were eluted into water and the partially exposed release agent layer was measured.
Further, the contact angle of water on the surface of the release agent layer is not particularly limited, but is usually 80 degrees or more, preferably 85 degrees or more, and more preferably 90 degrees or more. Further, the upper limit of the contact angle of water on the surface of the release agent layer is usually 150 degrees, preferably 140 degrees, and more preferably 130 degrees.

<準備工程>
 準備工程は、基材フィルム51とコーティング層52とを有する積層フィルム50が巻回されたロール1を準備する工程である。
 準備工程は、予め製造されたロール(積層フィルム50が巻回されたロール1)を単に準備するだけの工程であってもよいし、積層フィルム50が巻回されたロール1を製造する工程であってもよい。

<Preparation process>
The preparation step is a step of preparing a roll 1 around which a laminated film 50 having a base film 51 and a coating layer 52 is wound.
The preparation process may be a process of simply preparing a previously manufactured roll (roll 1 around which the laminated film 50 is wound), or a process of manufacturing the roll 1 around which the laminated film 50 is wound. There may be.
The laminated film 50 is preferably used for manufacturing a ceramic green sheet, and is a laminated film after the ceramic green sheet is peeled off.
<繰り出し工程>
 繰り出し工程は、積層フィルム50が巻回されたロール1から、積層フィルム50を繰り出す工程である。
 図3の場合、繰出手段10によりロール1から繰り出された積層フィルム50は、第1ニップロール2Aへ向かって(図3中、X軸方向)搬送される。

 ロール1から繰り出された積層フィルム50は、図3の領域R1では、Z軸方向に向かって基材フィルム51と、中間層521と、剥離剤層522とがこの順に積層されている。
<Feeding process>
The unwinding process is a process of unwinding the laminated film 50 from the roll 1 around which the laminated film 50 is wound.
In the case of FIG. 3, the laminated film 50 fed out from the roll 1 by the feeding means 10 is conveyed toward the first nip roll 2A (in the X-axis direction in FIG. 3).
In FIG. 3, an enlarged view of the laminated film in region R1 is shown, for example, by rotating FIG. 1 by 180 degrees in the vertical direction.
In the region R1 of FIG. 3, the laminated film 50 unrolled from the roll 1 has a base film 51, an intermediate layer 521, and a release agent layer 522 laminated in this order in the Z-axis direction.
<延伸工程>
 延伸工程は、積層フィルム50を延伸する工程である。
 図3の場合、ロール1から繰り出された積層フィルム50は、第1ニップロール2A及び第1延伸ロール3Aを略S字状に湾曲しながら通過した後、第1延伸ロール3Aから第2延伸ロール3Bまで積層フィルム50が搬送される領域R2で延伸される。延伸工程により、コーティング層52には、クラックが生じる。図3中、領域R2における延伸後の積層フィルム50Aの拡大図は、例えば図2Aを上下方向に180°回転させた図で示される。また、領域R2における延伸後の積層フィルム50AをZ軸から見た状態は、例えば図2Bで示される。
 積層フィルム50を延伸する方法としては、例えば、
・搬送経路の下流側に設けられた第2延伸ロール3Bの周速を、搬送経路の上流側に設けられた第1延伸ロール3Aの周速よりも速くなるように制御する方法、及び
・第1延伸ロール3Aから第2延伸ロール3Bまでの間に他の延伸ロールを1以上設け、積層フィルム50を第1延伸ロール3A、他の延伸ロール及び第2延伸ロール3Bに巻き掛けながら搬送する方法等が挙げられる。
 積層フィルム50を延伸する方法としては、搬送経路の下流側に設けられた第2延伸ロール3Bの周速を、搬送経路の上流側に設けられた第1延伸ロール3Aの周速よりも速くなるように制御する方法が好ましい。
<Stretching process>
The stretching process is a process of stretching the laminated film 50.
In the case of FIG. 3, the laminated film 50 fed out from the roll 1 passes through the first nip roll 2A and the first stretching roll 3A while being curved in a substantially S-shape, and then passes from the first stretching roll 3A to the second stretching roll 3B. The laminated film 50 is stretched in the region R2 where it is transported. Due to the stretching process, cracks occur in the coating layer 52. In FIG. 3, an enlarged view of the stretched laminated film 50A in region R2 is shown, for example, by rotating FIG. 2A by 180 degrees in the vertical direction. Moreover, the state of the laminated film 50A after stretching in region R2 viewed from the Z axis is shown, for example, in FIG. 2B.
As a method for stretching the laminated film 50, for example,
- A method of controlling the circumferential speed of the second stretch roll 3B provided on the downstream side of the conveyance path to be faster than the circumferential speed of the first stretch roll 3A provided on the upstream side of the conveyance path; A method in which one or more other stretching rolls are provided between the first stretching roll 3A and the second stretching roll 3B, and the laminated film 50 is conveyed while being wound around the first stretching roll 3A, the other stretching rolls, and the second stretching roll 3B. etc.
As a method for stretching the laminated film 50, the circumferential speed of the second stretching roll 3B provided on the downstream side of the conveyance path is made faster than the circumferential speed of the first stretching roll 3A provided on the upstream side of the conveyance path. A method of controlling this is preferable.
 延伸工程は、積層フィルム50を加熱しながら行うことが好ましい。
 図3の場合、積層フィルム50が第1延伸ロール3Aから第2延伸ロール3Bまで搬送される領域R2において、積層フィルム50は基材フィルム51の側から加熱手段60を用いて加熱される。
 積層フィルム50を加熱しながら延伸工程を実施することで、延伸工程を常温で実施する場合に比べ、コーティング層52(中間層521及び剥離剤層522)にクラックが生じ易くなる。
 延伸工程における加熱は、積層フィルム50として、例えば、セラミックグリーンシートが剥離された後の積層フィルムを用いる場合に、より効果を発現する。
 セラミックグリーンシートが剥離された後の積層フィルム、すなわち、使用済の積層フィルムには、セラミックグリーンシートごとに打ち抜き加工が施され、残された表面に微小な切れ目が生じることがあり、この微小な切れ目を起点に積層フィルムの破断が生じ易くなる。よって、使用済の積層フィルムを用いる場合には、積層フィルムを加熱しながら延伸工程を実施することで、積層フィルムの破断が生じにくくなる。その結果、積層フィルム上に形成されたセラミックグリーンシートが所定サイズにカットされ、そしてセラミックグリーンシートが剥離された後の積層フィルムを用いた場合でも、ロールツーロール方式でコーティング層の除去及び基材フィルムの巻き取りを問題なく完遂し得る。
The stretching step is preferably performed while heating the laminated film 50.
In the case of FIG. 3, in region R2 where the laminated film 50 is conveyed from the first stretching roll 3A to the second stretching roll 3B, the laminated film 50 is heated using the heating means 60 from the base film 51 side.
By performing the stretching process while heating the laminated film 50, cracks are more likely to occur in the coating layer 52 (intermediate layer 521 and release agent layer 522) compared to when the stretching process is performed at room temperature.
The heating in the stretching step is more effective when the laminated film 50 is, for example, a laminated film from which a ceramic green sheet has been peeled off.
The laminated film after the ceramic green sheet has been peeled off, that is, the used laminated film, is punched out for each ceramic green sheet, and minute cuts may occur on the remaining surface. The laminated film is likely to break starting from the cut. Therefore, when using a used laminated film, the laminated film is less likely to break by performing the stretching process while heating the laminated film. As a result, even when using a laminated film after the ceramic green sheet formed on the laminated film is cut to a predetermined size and the ceramic green sheet is peeled off, it is possible to remove the coating layer and remove the base material using a roll-to-roll method. Film winding can be completed without any problem.
 積層フィルム50を加熱する際の加熱温度及び加熱時間は、基材フィルム51及びコーティング層52(中間層521及び剥離剤層522)の材質により決定される。 The heating temperature and heating time when heating the laminated film 50 are determined by the materials of the base film 51 and coating layer 52 (intermediate layer 521 and release agent layer 522).
 積層フィルム50の加熱は、以下の理由により、基材フィルム51のガラス転移温度Tg以上の温度で行うことが好ましい。
 積層フィルム50における基材フィルム51のガラス転移温度Tg、およびコーティング層52のガラス転移温度Tgは、JIS K7121(2012)に定められている方法に準拠して求められ、示差走査熱量計(DSC)を用いて測定する。尚、延伸時の温度は、基材フィルム51を破断せずに延伸し易くさせ、一方でコーティング層52を破断し易くさせるため、基材フィルム51のガラス転移温度Tg以上が好ましく、基材フィルム51のガラス転移温度Tg以上かつコーティング層52のガラス転移温度Tg以下がより好ましい。
The laminated film 50 is preferably heated at a temperature equal to or higher than the glass transition temperature Tg of the base film 51 for the following reasons.
The glass transition temperature Tg 1 of the base film 51 in the laminated film 50 and the glass transition temperature Tg 2 of the coating layer 52 are determined in accordance with the method specified in JIS K7121 (2012), and are determined using a differential scanning calorimeter ( DSC). The temperature at the time of stretching is preferably set to a glass transition temperature Tg of 1 or more of the base film 51, in order to make it easier to stretch the base film 51 without breaking it, while also making it easier to break the coating layer 52. More preferably, the glass transition temperature Tg of the film 51 is 1 or more and the glass transition temperature Tg of the coating layer 52 is 2 or less.
<除去工程>
 除去工程は、延伸された積層フィルム50Aを、水槽32内の温水HWに浸漬することにより、前記積層フィルム50Aからコーティング層(延伸後のコーティング層52A)を除去する工程である。
 延伸工程で延伸された積層フィルム50Aは、第2延伸ロール3B及び第2ニップロール2Bを略S字状に湾曲してガイドロール31aを通過した後、水槽32内の温水HWに浸漬される。
 前記積層フィルム50Aは、温水HW中に設けられた複数のガイドロール31に順に巻き掛けられて温水HW中を搬送される。この搬送過程で、コーティング層(延伸後のコーティング層52A)は基材フィルムから脱落し、温水HW中へ放出される。
 温水HWの温度は、例えば、40℃以上が好ましく、60℃以上がより好ましい。また、100℃未満が好ましく、98℃以下がより好ましい。
<Removal process>
The removal step is a step in which the stretched laminated film 50A is immersed in hot water HW in the water tank 32 to remove the coating layer (coating layer 52A after stretching) from the laminated film 50A.
The laminated film 50A stretched in the stretching process is curved into a substantially S-shape through the second stretching roll 3B and the second nip roll 2B, passes through the guide roll 31a, and then is immersed in the hot water HW in the water tank 32.
The laminated film 50A is sequentially wound around a plurality of guide rolls 31 provided in the hot water HW and conveyed in the hot water HW. During this conveyance process, the coating layer (coating layer 52A after stretching) falls off from the base film and is released into the hot water HW.
The temperature of the hot water HW is, for example, preferably 40°C or higher, more preferably 60°C or higher. Further, the temperature is preferably less than 100°C, and more preferably 98°C or less.

 第5実施形態に係るコーティング層の除去装置を用いた場合、以下の工程以外、第4実施形態と同様に実施される。 When the coating layer removal apparatus according to the fifth embodiment is used, the steps are performed in the same manner as in the fourth embodiment except for the following steps.
<除去工程>
 除去工程は、延伸後のコーティング層52Aを温水HWに浸漬させた後に、ワイヤブラシ82(掻き落す手段80の一例)を用いて、前記コーティング層52Aを基材フィルム51から掻き落す工程である。
 延伸後の積層フィルム50Aは、温水HW中を搬送する過程で、コーティング層(延伸後のコーティング層52A)が基材フィルムから脱落するが、図6の場合、さらにワイヤブラシ82により、前記コーティング層52Aが基材フィルム51から掻き落とされる。これにより、コーティング層52Aが基材フィルム51上により残存しにくくなる。
<Removal process>
The removing step is a step of immersing the stretched coating layer 52A in hot water HW and then scraping off the coating layer 52A from the base film 51 using a wire brush 82 (an example of the scraping means 80).
In the stretched laminated film 50A, the coating layer (stretched coating layer 52A) falls off from the base film during the process of conveying in hot water HW, but in the case of FIG. 6, the coating layer is further removed by a wire brush 82. 52A is scraped off from the base film 51. This makes it more difficult for the coating layer 52A to remain on the base film 51.
<コーティング層排出工程>
 第5実施形態に係るコーティング層の除去方法は、水槽の上部から温水をオーバーフローさせて、積層フィルムから脱落したコーティング層のカスを水槽の外に排出する工程(コーティング層排出工程)をさらに有する。
 温水をオーバーフローさせる方法としては、例えば、オーバーフロー用の注入管から水槽内に温水又は水を注水する方法、水槽から排出された温水を循環させて当該温水を再び水槽へ供給する方法、及びこれらの方法を併用する方法等が挙げられる。
 図6の場合、積層フィルム(延伸後の積層フィルム50A)から脱落したコーティング層のカスは温水HWと共に、水槽32からオーバーフローされコーティング分離槽90に排出される(コーティング層排出工程)。
 コーティング分離槽90においては、コーティング層のカスがフィルター92でろ過される。フィルター92でろ過された後の温水は、コーティング分離槽90の排水口93Aから排出され、循環路93を流通して注入口93Bから再び水槽32へ供給される。
<Coating layer discharge process>
The coating layer removal method according to the fifth embodiment further includes a step (coating layer discharge step) of causing hot water to overflow from the upper part of the aquarium and discharging the coating layer residue that has fallen off from the laminated film to the outside of the aquarium.
Methods for overflowing hot water include, for example, a method of injecting hot water or cold water into the aquarium from an overflow injection pipe, a method of circulating hot water discharged from the aquarium and supplying the hot water to the aquarium again, and these methods. Examples include a method of using a combination of methods.
In the case of FIG. 6, the coating layer residue that has fallen off from the laminated film (stretched laminated film 50A) overflows from the water tank 32 together with the hot water HW and is discharged into the coating separation tank 90 (coating layer discharge step).
In the coating separation tank 90, the residue of the coating layer is filtered by a filter 92. The hot water after being filtered by the filter 92 is discharged from the drain port 93A of the coating separation tank 90, flows through the circulation path 93, and is again supplied to the water tank 32 from the inlet 93B.
 第5実施形態によれば、除去工程で使用した温水を簡易な方法で再利用することができる。また、中間層が非水溶性である場合には、中間層の成分が温水中に溶出することが抑制されるため、温水の汚染も防止することができる。 According to the fifth embodiment, the hot water used in the removal process can be reused in a simple manner. In addition, when the intermediate layer is water-insoluble, the components of the intermediate layer are prevented from eluting into hot water, so that contamination of the hot water can also be prevented.
〔実施形態の変形例〕
 例えば、第3実施形態又は第4実施形態に係る除去装置において、コーティング層(延伸後のコーティング層52A)を基材フィルム51から掻き落す手段80としてのブレード81を、第5実施形態で用いたワイヤブラシ82に変更してもよい。

 本発明の各実施形態で用いられる積層フィルムが、親水性かつ非水溶性の中間層をもつことにより、除去されたコーティング層のカスは、剥離剤層表面と親水性の中間層表面を持つ構成となる。この構成のカスを水に浸漬すると、表面張力により剥離剤層表面が空気に対面し、中間層表面が水に対向することで安定する。すなわち、この構成のカスは水中よりも水と空気の境界に存在しやすい。ここで、コーティング層のカスは極薄の膜なので少々密度が大きくても表面張力による浮力が勝り、さらに中間層が非水溶性であることで水の表面に浮き続けることができると考えられる。 Since the laminated film used in each embodiment of the present invention has a hydrophilic and water-insoluble intermediate layer, the removed coating layer residue has a structure having a release agent layer surface and a hydrophilic intermediate layer surface. becomes. When the residue with this structure is immersed in water, the release agent layer surface faces the air due to surface tension, and the intermediate layer surface faces the water, resulting in stability. In other words, debris with this configuration is more likely to exist at the boundary between water and air than in water. Here, since the coating layer scum is an extremely thin film, it is thought that even if the density is a little high, the buoyancy due to surface tension will prevail, and since the intermediate layer is water-insoluble, it can continue to float on the water surface.
 各実施形態で用いられる積層フィルムは、一般に、特定の用途に用いられる他の機能性シートや各種部品の製造、運搬及び保管時等に、これらの機能性シートや部品の表面を保護する目的等で用いられる。実際にこれらの部品等の保護の役目を果たした後は、表面から剥離され、廃棄されることも多い。そのため、前記積層フィルムを用いることで、積層フィルムからコーティング層と基材フィルムとを容易に分離することができるため、資源保護及び環境保護の観点からも、貢献度の高い用途である。 The laminated film used in each embodiment is generally used for the purpose of protecting the surfaces of other functional sheets and various parts used for specific applications during the manufacture, transportation, and storage of these functional sheets and various parts. used in After actually fulfilling the role of protecting these parts, etc., they are often peeled off from the surface and discarded. Therefore, by using the laminated film, the coating layer and the base film can be easily separated from the laminated film, so this application has a high degree of contribution from the viewpoint of resource conservation and environmental protection.
