- the aqueous polyvinyl alcohol resin solution was then fed to a twin-screw extruder having a vent and degassed, and the aqueous solution was then heated to 95° C., and discharged from a T-shaped slit die outlet into a casting mold rotating at 12 m/min to form a film.
- the film was then dried by alternately contacting the front and back surfaces of the film with a total of 15 heated rolls, and then heat-treated by blowing hot air at 95° C. onto both sides of the film.
- the obtained film was wound around a cylindrical aluminum core tube having a length of 340 cm and a diameter of 6 inches to obtain a film roll (film thickness 45 ⁇ m, width 3 m, length 5 km). At this time, when the end surface and the outer peripheral surface of the film roll were visually observed, no adhesion of dust, shavings, etc. was found.
- a foamed material made of polyethylene having a thickness of 10 mm, an expansion ratio of 10 times (closed bubbles), and a 25% compressive stress of 35 kPa was laminated to a 15 ⁇ m thick non-foamed resin sheet (made of polyethylene) (surface roughness of the non-foamed resin sheet after lamination: Ra 0.6 ⁇ m, surface roughness Ry 2.1 ⁇ m, surface roughness Rz 2.0 ⁇ m), and cut to fit the shape of the roll end face, thereby preparing two protective pads comprising a base material made of a foamed material and non-foamed resin layers on both sides of the base material.
- the film roll wrapped with the water vapor barrier film was wrapped twice with an aluminum-based film (stretched polypropylene film/polyethylene film/aluminum foil (thickness 7 ⁇ m)/polyethylene film) as a wrapping material, and then the excess portion of the aluminum-based film in the width direction of the film roll was fixed to the core tube with adhesive tape to complete the wrapping (see FIG. 1 ).
- the protruding portion of the core tube was placed on a stand, and the film roll was suspended in the air without touching the ground.
- the resulting film roll packaging was stored for 7 days, and then transported by land and sea for 10 days along the specified route.
- the packaging material was then removed from the film roll, and the appearance of the polyvinyl alcohol film was visually inspected. As a result, almost no dust or residue was found adhering to the end or outer periphery of the film roll.
- Example 2 As the protective pad, a foamed member having a thickness of 10 mm, a foaming ratio of 10 times (closed bubbles), and a 25% compressive stress of 35 kPa and a non-foamed resin sheet (made of polyethylene) having a thickness of 7 ⁇ m were used (surface roughness of the non-foamed resin sheet after lamination: Ra 1.4 ⁇ m, surface roughness Ry 5.8 ⁇ m, surface roughness Rz 5.1 ⁇ m).
- the film roll was stored and transported on land and sea in the same manner as in Example 1 with the protruding part of the core tube placed on a stand and the film roll suspended in the air without being grounded, and then the packaging material of the film roll was removed and the appearance of the polyvinyl alcohol-based film was visually confirmed. As a result, very little adhesion of dust, scum, etc., which is thought to be from the protective pad, was confirmed on the end surface of the film roll.
- the protective pad was made of a foamed material with a thickness of 10 mm, a foaming ratio of 10 times (closed bubbles), and a 25% compressive stress of 35 kPa, and no non-foamed resin layer was used. Otherwise, a film roll package was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1. Then, as in Example 1, the film roll was stored and transported on land and sea in a state where the protruding part of the core tube was placed on a stand and the film roll was suspended in the air without touching the ground. After that, the packaging material of the film roll was removed and the appearance of the polyvinyl alcohol-based film was visually confirmed. As a result, a lot of dust, scum, etc., which were thought to be from the protective pad, were found to be attached to the end surface of the film roll.
- the film roll packaging defined in the present invention suppresses adhesion of dust, shavings, etc. to the polyvinyl alcohol-based film during storage and transportation. Furthermore, it was confirmed that the protective pad defined in the present invention reduces the generation of shavings, which are likely to be generated due to friction with the end surface of the film roll during storage and transportation.
- the polyvinyl alcohol-based film can be used in a clean room with a higher level of cleanliness, and the breakage of the polyvinyl alcohol-based film during uniaxial stretching can be reduced.
- the deterioration of optical properties can be suppressed even when the polyvinyl alcohol-based film is processed into a polarizing film or a polarizing plate.
- the film roll packaging of the present invention sufficiently prevents damage and contamination of the film roll during storage and transportation, and can suppress damage and contamination of the film roll even when the film roll is used in a clean room, making it useful as a technology for maintaining the quality of the polyvinyl alcohol film wound into the film roll without compromising it.

以下、前記フィルムロール包装体の各構成部材について説明する。
まず、フィルムロール13を構成するポリビニルアルコール系フィルム11と、これを巻き付ける芯管12について説明する。
(1)ポリビニルアルコール系フィルム11
まず、本実施形態に用いられるポリビニルアルコール系フィルム11について説明する。
前記ポリビニルアルコール系フィルム11の製造に用いられるポリビニルアルコール系樹脂は、通常、酢酸ビニルを重合したポリ酢酸ビニルをケン化して得られるが、必ずしもこれに限定されるものではなく、少量の不飽和カルボン酸(塩、エステル、アミド、ニトリル等を含む)、炭素数2~30のオレフィン類(エチレン、プロピレン、n-ブテン、イソブテン等)、ビニルエーテル類、不飽和スルホン酸塩等、酢酸ビニルと共重合可能な成分を含有させた変性ポリビニルアルコール系樹脂であってもよい。
得られたポリビニルアルコール系フィルム11を、後述する芯管12に巻き付けることによって、本実施形態におけるフィルムロール13が得られる。
前記ポリビニルアルコール系フィルム11の幅は、1m以上とすることが好ましく、2m以上とすることがより好ましく、3m以上とすることが更に好ましく、4m以上とすることがとりわけ好ましい。又、7m以下であることが好ましく、6m以下であることがより好ましい。ポリビニルアルコール系フィルム11の幅を前記の範囲とすることで、偏光フィルム等の光学フィルムの製造時の一軸延伸でフィルムのネックインの影響がフィルム中央部にまで及び易く、良好な光学フィルムを得ることができる。
前記ポリビニルアルコール系フィルム11を巻き付ける芯管12は、円筒状で、その材質は、金属、プラスチック、紙等任意のものを使用することができる。金属としては、炭素鋼、高張力鋼、ステンレス鋼、アルミニウム、ジュラルミン等のアルミニウム合金、銅、黄銅、青銅等が挙げられる。このような金属製の芯管12には、軟質ポリ塩化ビニルや低密度ポリエチレンを積層したり、ニッケル、クロム、亜鉛、錫等によるメッキ処理を施したりすることもできる。又、プラスチックとしては、硬質ポリ塩化ビニル、ポリプロピレン、高密度ポリエチレン、超高分子量ポリエチレン、ポリカーボネート、ポリエステル、繊維強化プラスチック、炭素繊維強化プラスチック、アラミド繊維強化プラスチック等が挙げられる。
かかる突出部両端にブラケットを設けたり、突出部両端を架台等に載置したりして、フィルムロール13が地面あるいは他のフィルムロール等と接触することなく宙に浮いた状態にすることにより、フィルムロール13の荷重が、巻かれたポリビニルアルコール系フィルム11に掛かるのを防止し、ポリビニルアルコール系フィルム11同士のブロッキングや劣化を抑制することができる。芯管12の肉厚は、1.5~20mmが好ましく、より好ましくは2~15mm、更に好ましくは3~10mmである。
前記ポリビニルアルコール系フィルム11を芯管12に巻き付けてなるフィルムロール13の両端面部に配置される保護パット16は、その模式的な拡大断面図である図2(a)に示すように、発泡部材からなる基材17と、無発泡樹脂層18とを有する層構造になっている。そして、前記無発泡樹脂層18は、基材17の、ポリビニルアルコール系フィルム11の端面(すなわちフィルムロール13の端面部)と対面する側の面に設けられている。
前記保護パット16に用いられる基材17を構成する発泡部材は、発泡構造を有していれば特に限定されることなく、独立気泡の発泡プラスチックによって形成されているものであっても、連続気泡の発泡プラスチックによって形成されているものであってもよい。
但し、フィルムロール包装体におけるポリビニルアルコール系フィルム11は、フィルム中の水分率が規定の範囲となるよう制御されている場合があり、連続気泡の発泡プラスチックからなる発泡部材を用いると、その発泡部材の吸水率の影響を受けてポリビニルアルコール系フィルム11中の水分率が変化するため、その場合は、発泡部材として、独立気泡の発泡プラスチックを用いることが好ましい。
なお、前記発泡部材の25%圧縮応力は、JIS K 7220:2006法に準じて測定することができる。
一方、保護パット16に用いられる無発泡樹脂層18の材質は、特に限定することはなく、一般的な樹脂、例えば、ポリエチレン系樹脂、ポリプロピレン系樹脂、ポリ塩化ビニル系樹脂、ポリカーボネート系樹脂、ポリエステル系樹脂、アクリル系樹脂、ポリビニルアルコール系樹脂、ポリアクリルアミド系樹脂、ポリアミド系樹脂、フッ素系樹脂等を使用することができる。なかでも強度や柔軟性が優れる点でポリオレフィン系樹脂とすることが好ましく、ポリエチレン系樹脂とすることがより好ましい。
前記無発泡樹脂層18の厚みの測定は、マイクロスコープを使用して断面の観察を行い、任意の10か所の厚みを測定して求めた平均値を、厚みの値とする。
なお、本発明の表面粗さの測定条件は、測定長1mm、触針形状:先端半径2μm、テーパ角度60μm、である。
本実施形態に用いられる包装材14は、アルミニウム素材を含むフィルムによって構成されている。このようなフィルムとしては、アルミニウム箔、アルミニウム箔と耐湿性プラスチックフィルムの積層フィルム(例えばアルミニウム箔とポリエチレンフィルムの積層フィルム)、アルミニウム蒸着フィルムと耐湿性プラスチックフィルムの積層フィルム(例えばアルミニウム蒸着ポリエステルフィルムとポリエチレンフィルムの積層フィルム)、アルミナ蒸着フィルムと耐湿性プラスチックフィルムの積層フィルム(例えばアルミナ蒸着ポリエステルフィルムとポリエチレンフィルムの積層フィルム)等が挙げられ、特に、アルミニウム箔とポリオレフィンフィルムの積層フィルム、アルミニウム蒸着フィルムとポリオレフィンフィルムの積層フィルムが好ましく、特には延伸ポリプロピレンフィルム/ポリエチレンフィルム/アルミニウム箔/ポリエチレンフィルムの構成よりなる積層フィルム、延伸ポリプロピレンフィルム/低密度ポリエチレンフィルム/アルミニウム箔の構成よりなる積層フィルム等が好ましい。
本実施形態において、前記包装材14とともに用いられる第2の包装材15は、水蒸気バリアフィルムによって構成されている。この例では、前記第2の包装材15は、前記包装材14よりも内側(フィルムロール13側)に配置されている。
前記各構成部材を用いて本実施形態のフィルムロール包装体を得るには、例えば、まず、芯管12にポリビニルアルコール系フィルム11を巻き付けてなるフィルムロール13に対して、その両端面に、それぞれ、芯管貫通孔を有する保護パット16を、その無発泡樹脂層18をフィルムロール13の端面に対峙させた状態で取り付ける。そして、水蒸気バリアフィルムで構成される第2の包装材15でフィルムロール13を包装し、その幅方向に余った端部を芯管12に沿って絞り、ゴムバンド20で結束する。そして、その全体を、アルミニウム素材を含むフィルム(以下、「アルミ系フィルム」ともいう)で構成される包装材14で包装して、その幅方向に余った端部を芯管12に沿わせて密封する。このようにして、《フィルムロール13/保護パット16/第2の包装材15(水蒸気バリアフィルム)/包装材14(アルミ系フィルム)/包装体の外側》の順に配列した態様(図1を参照)のフィルムロール包装体を得ることができる。
・フィルムロール13/保護パット16/包装材14(アルミ系フィルム)/第2の包装材15(水蒸気バリアフィルム)/包装体の外側、の順に配列した態様
・フィルムロール13/包装材14(アルミ系フィルム)/保護パット16/第2の包装材15(水蒸気バリアフィルム)/包装体の外側、の順に配列した態様
・フィルムロール13/包装材14(アルミ系フィルム)/第2の包装材15(水蒸気バリアフィルム)/保護パット16/包装体の外側、の順に配列した態様

・フィルムロール13/保護パット16/包装材14(アルミ系フィルム)/包装体の外側、の順に配列した態様
・フィルムロール13/包装材14(アルミ系フィルム)/保護パット16/包装体の外側の順に配列した態様
・これらの態様において、更にその外側に、前述のような第2の保護パットを取り付けた態様
なお、例中「%」とあるのは、質量基準を意味する。
(ポリビニルアルコール系フィルムの作製)
5,000Lの溶解缶に、重量平均分子量123,000、ケン化度99.8モル%のポリビニルアルコール系樹脂1,000kg、水3,000kg、可塑剤としてグリセリン115kg、及び界面活性剤としてドデシルスルホン酸ナトリウム0.25kgを入れ、撹拌しながら150℃まで昇温して加圧溶解を行い、樹脂濃度29%に調整したポリビニルアルコール系樹脂水溶液を得た。
つぎに該ポリビニルアルコール系樹脂水溶液を、ベントを有する2軸押出機に供給して脱泡した後、水溶液温度を95℃にし、T型スリットダイ吐出口より、12m/分で回転するキャスト型に吐出及び流延し製膜した。つぎに、フィルムの表面と裏面とを合計15本の熱ロールに交互に接触させ乾燥を行い、フィルム両面から95℃の熱風を吹き付けて熱処理を行った。
得られたフィルムを、長さ340cm、直径6インチの円筒状のアルミニウム製芯管に巻取り、フィルムロールを得た(フィルム厚45μm、幅3m、長さ5km)。この時、フィルムロール端面、外周面を目視観察したところ、埃、削りカス等の付着は認められなかった。
厚み10mm、発泡倍率10倍(独立気泡)、25%圧縮応力35kPaの発泡部材(ポリエチレン製)と、厚み15μmの無発泡樹脂シート(ポリエチレン製)を貼り合わせ(貼り合わせ後の無発泡樹脂シートの表面粗さRa0.6μm、表面粗さRy2.1μm、表面粗さRz2.0μm)、ロール端面の形状に合わせて切り取ることにより、発泡部材からなる基材と、その両面に無発泡樹脂層とを備えた保護パットを、2枚準備した。
前記2枚の保護パットを、それぞれの無発泡樹脂層側がフィルムロールの端面に対面する配置で取り付けた後、そのフィルムロールの外周を、第2の包装材である水蒸気バリアフィルム(ポリエチレン製、厚み30μm、透湿度7g/m2/日)を用いて巻き、包装した。そして、前記水蒸気バリアフィルムの、フィルムロールの幅方向に余った部分を芯管にゴムバンドで固定した。
続いて、前記水蒸気バリアフィルムで包装されたフィルムロールの上から、包装材であるアルミ系フィルム(延伸ポリプロピレンフィルム/ポリエチレンフィルム/アルミニウム箔(厚み7μm)/ポリエチレンフィルム)を用いて二重目の巻き包装を行った後、前記アルミ系フィルムの、フィルムロールの幅方向に余った部分を芯管に粘着テープで固定し、包装を完了した(図1を参照)。
そして、芯管の突出部を架台に載置し、フィルムロールを接地することなく宙に浮いた状態とした。
保護パットとして、厚み10mm、発泡倍率10倍(独立気泡)、25%圧縮応力35kPaの発泡部材と、厚み7μmの無発泡樹脂シート(ポリエチレン製)を用いた(貼り合わせ後の無発泡樹脂シートの表面粗さRa1.4μm、表面粗さRy5.8μm、表面粗さRz5.1μm)。それ以外は、実施例1と同様にして、芯管の突出部を架台に載置しフィルムロールを接地することなく宙に浮いた状態で、保管と、陸上及び海上の輸送を行った後、フィルムロールの包材を取り除き、ポリビニルアルコール系フィルムの外観を目視確認した。その結果、フィルムロール端面に、保護パットからと思われる埃、カス等の付着がごくわずかに確認された。
保護パットとして、厚み10mm、発泡倍率10倍(独立気泡)、25%圧縮応力35kPaの発泡部材からなり、無発泡樹脂層は設けられていないものを用いた。それ以外は、実施例1と同様にして、フィルムロール包装体を得た。そして、実施例1と同様、芯管の突出部を架台に載置しフィルムロールを接地することなく宙に浮いた状態で、保管と、陸上及び海上の輸送を行った後、フィルムロールの包材を取り除き、ポリビニルアルコール系フィルムの外観を目視確認した。その結果、フィルムロール端面に、保護パットからと思われる埃、カス等の付着が多く確認された。
保護パット表面の削れやすさを評価するために、前記実施例1と比較例1で使用した保護パットに対して、テーバー摩耗試験(JIS K 7204:1999年法に準拠、試験条件:摩耗輪CS-17、試験荷重4.9N、回転数1000回)を行った。その結果を下記の表1に示す。
前記結果より、本発明に規定するフィルムロール包装体は、保管及び輸送した際もポリビニルアルコール系フィルムへの埃や削りカス等の付着を抑制することが確認された。更に、保管中や輸送中にフィルムロール端面との摩擦によって発生しやすい削りカスも、本発明に規定する保護パットによれば、発生しにくいことが確認された。
よって、ポリビニルアルコール系フィルムを、よりレベルの高いクリーンルーム内で使用することも可能であり、かつ当該ポリビニルアルコール系フィルムを一軸延伸した際の切断を低減することができる。又、当該ポリビニルアルコール系フィルムを偏光フィルムや偏光板に加工した際も光学特性が低下することを抑制できることがわかる。
