Description

耐薬品性に優れる積層体およびそれを製造するための転写フイルムLaminate with excellent chemical resistance and transfer film for manufacturing it
本発明は耐薬品性に優れる積層体およびそれを得ることができる転写フイルムに関する。 The present invention relates to a laminate having excellent chemical resistance and a transfer film from which the same can be obtained.
従来から、プラスチックフイルム上に、離型層、機能層(保護層、着色層、印刷層、ハードコート層、反射防止層、金属薄膜層等)、及び接着層が順次形成された転写フイルムを使用し、該転写フイルムの離型層上に形成された上記、機能層、及び接着層(以下、これらの層をまとめて転写層という。)を、転写フイルムの離型層上から被転写物表面に転写加工することで、被転写物表面に転写層が形成され、金属光沢や図柄等の意匠性、ハードコート性、反射防止性等の各種機能が付与された積層体を得る方法が広く一般に使用されている。
そして、該積層体は、家電製品や自動車の部品、雑貨、紙器、ラベル等の各種製品として利用されている。
Traditionally, transfer films have been used in which a release layer, functional layers (protective layer, colored layer, printing layer, hard coat layer, antireflection layer, metal thin film layer, etc.), and adhesive layer are sequentially formed on a plastic film. Then, the above-mentioned functional layer and adhesive layer (hereinafter collectively referred to as the transfer layer) formed on the release layer of the transfer film are applied to the surface of the transferred object from above the release layer of the transfer film. A transfer layer is formed on the surface of the transferred object by transfer processing, and it is widely used to obtain a laminate that has various functions such as metallic luster, design such as patterns, hard coating properties, and antireflection properties. It is used.
The laminate is used as various products such as home appliances, automobile parts, miscellaneous goods, paper cartons, and labels.
積層体を自動車内外装用途に適用する場合、一般的に耐薬品性、例えば日焼け止め化粧料やガソリンといった試験剤を積層体表面に塗布し、80℃の高温下で10分間静置する耐薬品性試験を実施しても外観に不具合を生じない、といった性能を求められる。また、自動車メーカーは耐薬品性について各社独自の規格を設定しており、それらのいずれにも対応可能な優れた耐薬品性を備えることがより望ましい。 When applying a laminate to the interior and exterior of automobiles, chemical resistance is generally tested by applying a test agent such as sunscreen cosmetics or gasoline to the surface of the laminate and allowing it to stand for 10 minutes at a high temperature of 80°C. Performance is required such that there will be no defects in appearance even if a test is conducted. Furthermore, automobile manufacturers have set their own standards for chemical resistance, and it is more desirable to have excellent chemical resistance that can meet all of them.
特許文献1には、箔バリ(転写部分との近傍における被転写部分の転写層の全部または一部が、転写層と接続したまま基材シートから剥離してしまう現象)の少ない転写シート(転写フイルム)として、基材シート(プラスチックフイルム)上に、離型層、保護層、意匠層(加飾層)、および接着層が順次形成された構成からなり、保護層が、ポリオール化合物とイソシアヌレート変性イソシアネート化合物とからなることを特徴とする転写シートが開示されている。この転写シートは箔バリの発生を少なくすることを目的としたものである。 Patent Document 1 discloses a transfer sheet (transfer sheet) with less foil burrs (a phenomenon in which all or part of the transfer layer in the transferred area in the vicinity of the transfer area peels off from the base sheet while remaining connected to the transfer layer). The film has a structure in which a release layer, a protective layer, a design layer (decoration layer), and an adhesive layer are sequentially formed on a base sheet (plastic film), and the protective layer is made of polyol compound and isocyanurate. A transfer sheet characterized by comprising a modified isocyanate compound is disclosed. This transfer sheet is intended to reduce the occurrence of foil burrs.

特許文献1に記載の転写フイルムを使用して積層体を得る場合、保護層が従来から一般的な、ポリオール化合物とイソシアヌレート変性イソシアネート化合物とからなる為、転写加工時に箔バリの発生が少なく、また、比較的安価に積層体が得られる。しかしながら、特許文献1に記載の転写フイルムを使用して得られた積層体は、保護層が、従来の一般的なポリオール化合物とイソシアヌレート変性イソシアネート化合物とからなるため強靭な層とならず、耐擦傷性などの一定の表面物性を得ることができるものの、該積層体に耐薬品性試験を実施した際に、転写層表面から試験剤が浸透し、転写層全体および基材に膨れや亀裂が生じ、外観が悪くなる問題点があった。特に、この問題点は試験剤に日焼け止め化粧料やガソリンを使用した場合に顕著であった。以上のことから、本発明は上記の問題点のすべてを解決する積層体および、その製造に適した転写フイルムの提供を課題とする。 When obtaining a laminate using the transfer film described in Patent Document 1, since the protective layer is composed of a conventionally common polyol compound and an isocyanurate-modified isocyanate compound, there is less occurrence of foil burrs during transfer processing. Moreover, a laminate can be obtained relatively inexpensively. However, the laminate obtained using the transfer film described in Patent Document 1 does not have a strong layer because the protective layer is composed of a conventional general polyol compound and an isocyanurate-modified isocyanate compound. Although it is possible to obtain certain surface properties such as scratch resistance, when the laminate is subjected to a chemical resistance test, the test agent penetrates from the surface of the transfer layer, causing blisters and cracks in the entire transfer layer and the base material. There was a problem that the appearance deteriorated. This problem was particularly noticeable when sunscreen cosmetics or gasoline were used as test agents. In light of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a laminate that solves all of the above problems, and a transfer film suitable for manufacturing the laminate.
本発明者らは、鋭意検討した結果、転写フイルムの離型層上(転写層側)に特定の組成の熱硬化性樹脂からなる機能層を設けることにより、耐薬品性を向上するとともに、箔バリの発生を抑制し得ることを見出し、本発明を完成させた。すなわち上記課題を解決する本発明の転写フイルムおよび積層体には以下の構成を含む。 As a result of extensive studies, the present inventors have found that by providing a functional layer made of a thermosetting resin with a specific composition on the release layer of the transfer film (transfer layer side), it is possible to improve the chemical resistance of the transfer film and to The present invention was completed based on the discovery that the occurrence of burrs can be suppressed. That is, the transfer film and laminate of the present invention that solve the above problems include the following configurations.

機能層を上記の組成とすることで、耐薬品性試験で用いられる種々の成分に対し浸透されにくい転写層が得られる。結果、本発明の積層体は耐薬品性試験後に、転写層全体および基材に、膨れや亀裂の生成といった損傷が発生することによる外観の悪化の発生が少ない。 By making the functional layer have the above composition, a transfer layer that is difficult to be penetrated by various components used in chemical resistance tests can be obtained.

As long as the protective layer described below satisfies the mold releasability, the mold release layer may not be formed. The release layer is formed on a plastic film for the purpose of making it easier to peel off the transfer layer from the release layer of the transfer film of the present invention when performing transfer processing using the transfer film of the present invention. This is the layer in which people live. Furthermore, during the transfer process, the release layer is not transferred or formed on the surface of the object to be transferred, but is removed from the object together with the plastic film.
