Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transfer film technology, specifically to a scratch-resistant and fold-resistant transfer film material and its preparation process. Background Technology

[0002] Transfer film is an intermediate carrier that carries information patterns and is used to transfer them onto the printed item. It is a chemically elastic film that has been widely used in the packaging industry. Compared with traditional printing technology, transfer film has bright and dynamic colors and a certain degree of anti-counterfeiting.

[0003] Due to limitations in the manufacturing process and coating, during the lamination of transfer film and sheet paper into a single sheet of transfer paper, the friction between the paper surface and the back of the paper causes the paper surface to exhibit diffuse reflection instead of mirror reflection, a phenomenon commonly known in the industry as "sticking." This also makes the paper prone to scratches during stacking, sorting, and transportation, leading to this quality issue. Scratch-resistant and fold-resistant transfer paper requires the laminated paper surface to have good scratch and fold resistance. The coating must be both scratch-resistant and fold-resistant. The adhesive used in conjunction with this process cannot be too hard; higher hardness provides better scratch resistance but can also cause the paper to crack. Adhesive that is too soft will cause surface sticking and is not abrasion-resistant. Therefore, selecting a suitable adhesive and coating, and adjusting the coating amount and drying effect, allows the transferred paper surface to have appropriate flexibility to solve the problems of scratching and cracking. The key to solving these problems lies in using coatings that are both scratch-resistant and flexible, with excellent folding resistance and high toughness to prevent smudging. The coating film, adhesive, and paper combine to form a rollable, sheet-and-pasteable holographic anti-counterfeiting laser film that is scratch-resistant, folding-resistant, and smudge-proof. However, existing coatings of this type often have excessive formaldehyde and solvent residues, making it difficult to meet environmental protection requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a scratch-resistant and fold-resistant transfer film material and its preparation process to solve the problems existing in the prior art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a scratch-resistant transfer film material, the film material comprising a polyethylene terephthalate base film layer, a scratch-resistant release coating disposed on the base film layer, a laser information layer disposed on the release coating, and an aluminum plating layer disposed on the laser information layer.

[0006] Furthermore, a method for preparing a scratch-resistant transfer film material includes the following preparation steps: (1) 55-77 parts by weight of deionized water, 2-8 parts by weight of ethylene glycol butyl ether, 0-3 parts by weight of propylene glycol ethyl ether, 1-4 parts by weight of n-butanol and 2-5 parts by weight of acetone are sequentially added to a stirred tank. The stirring device is turned on and stirred continuously to carry out preliminary mixing and dissolution. Then, while maintaining the stirring operation, 18-23 parts by weight of polyurethane resin and 2-6 parts by weight of waterborne acrylic resin are slowly and evenly added to the above mixture. After all the resin is added, the speed of the stirring device is increased and stirring is continued for 40-60 minutes to completely dissolve the resin particles and achieve a highly uniform dispersion in the liquid system, thereby forming a stable and uniform mixture. The stirring speed is adjusted to medium speed. Under this stirring condition, 1-5 parts by weight of aziridine crosslinking agent is slowly added dropwise to the mixture. After all the crosslinking agent has been added, stirring is continued for 15-30 minutes to obtain a waterborne release coating. (2) Polyethylene terephthalate film is selected as the carrier substrate. Before entering the coating station, the film needs to be pre-treated by an online corona treatment device for surface activation. The corona-treated film is installed on the unwinding shaft of the coating machine and the tension during the transmission process is precisely adjusted. Then, the water-based release coating prepared in the first step is uniformly transferred and coated on the film surface using a micro-gravure coating roller. By finely controlling the running speed of the coating roller and the viscosity parameters of the coating in the trough, a wet film is obtained. (3) The wet film after coating needs to be immediately introduced into a hot air circulating oven with segmented temperature zones for processing; the film passes through the entire oven at a constant speed, and its total residence time in the oven is 80-120s, of which the residence time in the oven area with a temperature higher than 120℃ is 40-60s; after this drying and curing process, the volatile components in the coating are completely released, and its dry coating amount should be 1.1-1.4g / m², and a semi-finished film is obtained. (4) The above-mentioned dried semi-finished film is introduced into a high-speed molding machine to complete the transfer of laser texture; (5) The molded roll of thin film material is loaded into the winding system of the vacuum coating machine; when the vacuum level in the coating chamber reaches 5.0 × 10⁻⁶, the film is coated with a film. -2 When the pressure reaches Pa, the evaporation source can be started; by precisely controlling the evaporation process parameters, the vaporized aluminum atoms are uniformly deposited on the thin film surface. (6) After vacuum evaporation, the product is subjected to necessary quality inspection procedures and then slit on the machine. During the slitting process, the winding tension should be set at 8-12 kg, and corresponding measures should be taken to maintain the tightness of the film roll and the neatness of the end face to obtain the finished transfer film.

[0007] Furthermore, in step (1), the dripping rate is 10 drops / min.

[0008] Furthermore, in step (2), the thickness of the polyethylene terephthalate film is 12 μm.

[0009] Furthermore, in step (2), the coating amount of the wet coating is 3.5-5.5 g / m².

[0010] Furthermore, in step (3), the temperatures of each zone of the oven are set at 70-100℃, 120-150℃, and 160-190℃, respectively.

[0011] Furthermore, in step (4), the temperature of the printing roller used for molding is set to 170-190℃.

[0012] Furthermore, the linear pressure applied to the film surface in step (4) is 35-45 kg.

[0013] Furthermore, in step (4), during the entire molding process, it is necessary to ensure that the unwinding tension is maintained at 16-20 kg and the rewinding tension is stable at 8-12 kg to ensure the smooth transport and winding of the film.

[0014] Furthermore, the thickness of the aluminum layer formed in step (5) is 350-450 Å.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are: This invention provides a scratch-resistant and fold-resistant transfer film material based on the blending of rigid components and flexible resins, and intermolecular cross-linking reinforcement. The coating uses waterborne polyurethane resin as the main film-forming material, while incorporating a specific proportion of high-hardness waterborne acrylic resin. After blending, the rigid segments of the acrylic resin form dispersed reinforcing regions within the flexible polyurethane matrix, giving the cured coating both deformation-resistant hardness and stress-absorbing elasticity. Furthermore, an environmentally friendly cross-linking agent is introduced into the coating formulation. This agent reacts chemically with the active functional groups on the resin molecular chains during baking, constructing a stable three-dimensional bonded structure within the coating, thereby enhancing the coating's cohesive strength and overall durability. The addition of acrylic resin improves the coating's surface hardness and abrasion resistance; tests show that its scratch resistance can be improved by approximately 46%. Simultaneously, the combined effect of the polyurethane matrix and the cross-linked structure allows the polymer segments to disperse stress through recoverable elastic deformation during repeated bending, effectively suppressing brittle fracture and surface whitening, thus balancing scratch resistance and fold resistance. The cross-linked structure further enhances the density of the coating, making it more resistant to solvents and heat in subsequent processing, thus ensuring the clarity of the laser pattern and the gloss of the aluminum plating layer.

[0016] In terms of environmental friendliness, this solution uses aziridines as crosslinking aids, which are formaldehyde-free and have low volatile organic compound (VOC) content. Under appropriate baking processes, the crosslinking reaction is complete, effectively controlling the residue of unreacted monomers and volatile byproducts. The final product meets stringent solvent residue limits and is suitable for packaging applications with high safety requirements. Detailed Implementation

(6) After the vacuum-deposited product has undergone the necessary quality inspection procedures, it is then slit on the machine. During the slit process, the winding tension should be set at 8 kg, and corresponding measures should be taken to maintain the tightness of the film roll and the neatness of the end face to obtain the finished transfer film.
