Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of preparation system for middle matte polyester film. BACKGROUND

[0002] Matte film has great demand in packaging, label, decoration, printing and other fields. Generally, the reflectivity of film surface below 10% is considered to be matte; the reflectivity between 10% and 30% is considered to be semi-matte; and the reflectivity above 30% is considered to be glossy. The degree of matte is generally represented by glossiness, which is usually between 0% and 100%. 0% represents no glossiness (e.g. matte surface), and 100% represents maximum glossiness (e.g. mirror surface). Glossiness is usually measured by a gloss meter. High-matte film generally refers to the surface glossiness below 10%, which has almost no glossiness. Middle-matte film generally refers to the surface glossiness between 10% and 30%, which has certain glossiness but still maintains relatively low reflectivity. Low-matte film has surface glossiness between 30% and 50%, which is relatively smooth and has obvious glossiness but does not belong to high-gloss category.

[0003] CN 106739367 B discloses a single-sided matte polyester film having a co-extruded double-layer structure composed of a matte film layer and a base film layer. The matte film layer is composed of a polyester masterbatch containing an additive and a balance of polyester base material. The additive in the polyester masterbatch is composed of silicon dioxide and an auxiliary filler selected from at least one of calcium carbonate, hollow glass microbeads, aluminum oxide, kaolin and titanium dioxide.

[0004] The above-mentioned prior art matte film forms scattering effect of light in the film layer by adding inorganic solid particles, reduces direct reflection of light of the same angle of incidence on the film layer, and obtains certain matte effect. The scattering of light by solid particles also hinders the projection of light, thereby reducing the light transmission performance of the film. At the same time, although the scattering effect of solid particles exists in the film layer, the influence on the surface of the film is limited, and the roughness of the film surface is difficult to effectively reduce, and the smooth surface is difficult to reduce the light reflectivity. In addition, in order to obtain sufficient matte effect, the particle size of the added solid particles needs to reach a certain degree, and the addition amount also needs to be sufficient. The addition of too many large-diameter solid particles will form cavities in the interior of the matte layer during film stretching, thereby reducing the density and strength of the matte layer, resulting in insufficient tear resistance of the outer matte layer and easy breakage and fragmentation. In addition, the film layer after stretching has pores, which is easy to be penetrated by colorants and present patches, and the texture of the outer surface will quickly decrease.

[0005] In addition, the prior art also lacks a special device or system for preparing middle-matte polyester film, and cannot efficiently and continuously prepare low-matte polyester film. SUMMARY

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a preparation system for medium-matt polyester film to reduce or avoid the problems mentioned above.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0010] The following drawings are only intended to illustrate and explain the application, and do not limit the scope of the utility model.

[0011] Figure 1 The structure diagram of the medium-matt polyester film according to one embodiment of the utility model is shown.

[0012] Figure 2 The structure diagram of the preparation system for medium-matt polyester film according to one embodiment of the utility model is shown. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0013] In order to have a clearer understanding of the technical features, objects and effects of the present application, the specific embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the drawings. Identical components are denoted by identical reference numerals.

[0014] As shown in Figure 1 The present application provides a medium-matte polyester film, which is composed of a base material layer A, a surface matte layer B and a matte coating C sprayed on the outer side of the surface matte layer B.

[0015] In one embodiment, the thickness of the base material layer A is 30-35 μm; the thickness of the surface matte layer B is 8-10 μm; and the thickness of the matte coating C is 1-5 μm. When the thickness of the matte coating C is preferably 1-3 μm, the matte effect of the film does not significantly affect the transparency of the film, and the film is suitable for applications requiring high light transmittance. When the thickness of the matte coating C is preferably 3-5 μm, the film is suitable for applications requiring low gloss, such as anti-glare applications.

[0016] The total thickness of the medium-matte polyester film of the present application is preferably designed to be about 40 μm, so that the film maintains flexibility and light transmittance while meeting mechanical strength. The thickness of the matte coating C is 1-5 μm, which can ensure uniform distribution of the coating while maintaining low gloss and wear resistance, and will not significantly affect the mechanical properties of the base material.

[0017] In another embodiment, the base material layer A is composed of 85-90% by mass of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and 10-15% by mass of silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles.

[0018] Further, the polyethylene terephthalate preferably uses optical grade PET particles or chips, preferably a raw material product with a melting point of about 255°C, such as high-purity optical grade PET provided by Toray, DuPont, etc., with a light transmittance of more than 90%. The silicon dioxide nanoparticles preferably use a product with a particle size of 50-100 nm, such as Aerosil series from Evonik, such as Aerosil 200, or Cab-O-Sil series from Cabot.

[0019] In yet another embodiment, the surface matte layer B is composed of 80-85% by mass of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), 5-7% by mass of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and 10-13% by mass of polyethylene glycol (PEG) nanoparticles.

[0020] Further, the polyethylene terephthalate preferably adopts optical grade PET particles or chips, preferably the raw material product with a melting point of about 255°C, such as high-purity optical grade PET provided by Toray, DuPont, etc., with a light transmittance of more than 90%. The polytetrafluoroethylene preferably adopts micro-powder particles with a particle size of ≤1 μm, such as Dyneon TM PTFE or Solvay's PTFE series. The polyethylene glycol preferably adopts a product with a molecular weight range of 2000-6000, such as PEG produced by Merck or Sigma-Aldrich, etc.

[0021] In still another specific embodiment, the matte coating C is formed by ultraviolet curing of a coating formed of raw materials with the following mass fractions: 60-65% of polyurethane acrylate (PUA), 15-20% of silicone silica microparticles, 15-20% of tripropyloxy triethylene glycol acrylate (TMPTA), 1.5-3% of benzophenone (BP), 0.5% of polyether siloxane, and 0.5% of polydimethyl siloxane.

[0022] Further specifically, the polyurethane acrylate (PUA) preferably adopts a product with a viscosity range of 3000-5000 cps, such as polyurethane acrylate resin provided by BASF, Mitsubishi Chemical, etc.; further preferably, a PUA suitable for UV-cured coating, such as the Laromer series of Merck KGaA (Germany). The silicone silica microparticles preferably adopt a product with a particle size of 3-5 μm, such as the Sipernat series of Degussa, or the Syloid series of Grace. The tripropyloxy triethylene glycol acrylate preferably adopts a product with a purity of ≥98%, such as high-purity TMPTA supplied by Sigma-Aldrich or Allnex. The benzophenone preferably has a spectral range of about 365 nm, with a purity of ≥99%, such as the UV-cured series of products of IGM Resins or BASF. Both the polyether siloxane and the polydimethyl siloxane can adopt products of BYK Chemicals, such as polyether siloxane BYK-333 and polydimethyl siloxane BYK-016.

[0023] Further specifically, the coating material constituting the matte coating C can be prepared by the following process. For example, polyurethane acrylate and TMPTA are mixed in a mass ratio, and stirred at room temperature until completely dissolved to form a uniform solution. Organic silicon silica particles are added to the above solution, and stirred for 10-15 minutes to ensure uniform dispersion. A high-speed stirring device (about 1000 rpm) is used for better effect. Benzophenone, polyether siloxane, and polydimethylsiloxane are added in proportion, and slowly stirred for 5 minutes to completely dissolve the components. The solution is filtered through a 100-mesh filter to remove undispersed particles or impurities, ensuring the uniformity and transparency of the coating.

[0024] The matte coating of the utility model adds organic silicon silica particles and forms a rough surface structure, so that the gloss of the coating is significantly reduced to achieve a medium matte effect. The cross-linked structure of the PUA base resin and TMPTA improves the hardness and wear resistance of the coating. The composite structure of the organic silicon silica particles and PUA not only reduces the gloss, but also has the function of resisting ultraviolet rays, prolonging the service life of the film. The design and process of the coating material help to form a uniform and stable matte layer on the surface, ensure the low gloss effect, and at the same time enhance the durability of the film.

[0025] Further, the medium matte polyester film of the utility model can be prepared by the following process.

[0026] The raw materials constituting the base material layer A and the surface matte layer B are weighed and put into the respective mixing machines for melt blending, and the melt temperature is controlled at 250-270 DEG C.

[0027] The base material layer A is melt extruded by the main extruder at 250-260 DEG C, and the cooling roller temperature is 20 DEG C. The surface matte layer B is melt extruded by the auxiliary extruder at a temperature of 260-270 DEG C, and the cooling roller temperature is 15 DEG C. The extruded two film layers are simultaneously introduced into the cooling system to form a double-layer thick sheet, and the cooling temperature of the thick sheet is set at 15-20 DEG C.

[0028] The double-layer thick sheet is longitudinally stretched by 3 times at 85-90 DEG C, and then transversely stretched by 3.5 times at a temperature of 110-120 DEG C.

[0029] The coating material constituting the matte coating C is uniformly sprayed on the surface of the surface matte layer B, and the coating thickness is controlled at 5-10 microns. Then, it is treated by ultraviolet light initiation, the wavelength of the ultraviolet light is 365 nm, the irradiation intensity is 300 mW / cm 2 , the time is controlled at 3 minutes, and it is cooled to room temperature to form the matte coating C.

[0030] Finally, the film forming the matte coating is heat set at 200-210 DEG C for 5-10 seconds to ensure the stability of the layered structure and to enhance the dimensional stability and durability of the film.

[0031] Corresponding to the above preparation process, the utility model also proposes a preparation system for preparing the above-mentioned matte polyester film, as shown in Figure 2

[0032] The preparation system comprises a first mixer 100 corresponding to the base material layer A and a second mixer 200 corresponding to the surface matte layer B, and the first mixer 100 and the second mixer 200 have a shared PET raw material tank 10; the inlet of the first mixer 100 is connected to the PET raw material tank 10 and a silicon dioxide raw material tank 11 respectively, and the inlet of the second mixer 200 is connected to the PET raw material tank 10, a polytetrafluoroethylene raw material tank 12 and a polyethylene glycol raw material tank 13 respectively. By sharing the PET raw material tank 10, the number of equipment and the types of raw materials can be significantly reduced, which is beneficial to obtaining a film layer with uniform quality.

[0033] The first mixer 100 corresponding to the base material layer A and the second mixer 200 corresponding to the surface matte layer B melt and blend the input raw materials; and then are extruded respectively.

[0034] Further, the outlet of the first mixer 100 is connected to a main extruder 101, the outlet of the second mixer 200 is connected to an auxiliary extruder 201, and the outlets of the main extruder 101 and the auxiliary extruder 201 are connected to a thick sheet cooling mechanism 300. The base material layer A is extruded by the main extruder 101, the surface matte layer B is extruded by the auxiliary extruder 201, and then enters the thick sheet cooling mechanism 300 for cooling. The cooled thick sheet is then sequentially subjected to longitudinal stretching and transverse stretching.

[0035] The outlet of the thick sheet cooling mechanism 300 is connected to a longitudinal stretching mechanism 400, the outlet of the longitudinal stretching mechanism 400 is connected to a transverse stretching mechanism 500, and a spraying mechanism 601 and an ultraviolet light irradiation mechanism 602 are arranged downstream of the transverse stretching mechanism 500.

[0036] The spraying mechanism 601 sprays matte paint on the surface of the surface matte layer B, and then the ultraviolet light irradiation mechanism 602 is used for irradiation treatment.

[0037] Further, the inlet of the spraying mechanism 601 can also be connected to a matte paint tank 600, which is used to continuously supply matte paint to the spraying mechanism 601 through the matte paint tank 600, so as to obtain the effect of continuous production with high quality.

[0038] A heat setting mechanism 701 is arranged downstream of the ultraviolet light irradiation mechanism 602, and a winding mechanism 700 is arranged downstream of the heat setting mechanism 701.​

[0054] Comparative Example 1

[0055] On the basis of Example 1, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in the surface matte layer B is removed.

[0056] That is, the surface matte layer B: 85% PET, 15% PEG.

[0057] Performance parameter changes: the friction coefficient rises to 0.6, the wear resistance decreases, and the matte coating adhesion decreases to 4B, indicating the importance of PTFE in reducing the friction coefficient and improving the wear resistance.

[0090] The performance comparison results are shown in the following table.

[0091]

[0092]

[0093] According to the comparison results of Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-9, from the functional role of each component, it is shown that in substrate layer A, polyethylene terephthalate as a substrate provides the mechanical strength, flexibility and stability of the film. In the examples, the content of PET is relatively high (85%-90%), which helps to maintain the optical clarity and durability of the film. In the comparative examples, the reduction of PET content (for example, 80% in comparative example 9) will significantly reduce the mechanical properties and durability of the film, resulting in a decrease in tensile strength. Silicon dioxide nanoparticles help to improve the surface roughness of the substrate, provide microstructure, enhance the mechanical bonding force of the coating, and improve the matte effect. In Example 1, 13% SiO2 is contained, which helps to optimize the surface optical effect and wear resistance. While in comparative example 3, the SiO2 is reduced to 8%, resulting in an increase in film surface gloss and a decrease in haze, indicating that the reduction of SiO2 will have a negative impact on the matte effect.

[0094] In the matte layer B, the high content of PET, similar to that in the substrate layer, provides the stability and mechanical properties of the film. As the main component of the matte layer, it can effectively support the adhesion of the coating. The addition of PTFE significantly improves the friction performance of the film, reduces the friction coefficient, and helps to improve the wear resistance and smoothness. In Example 2 and Example 3, the PTFE content is 5%-7%, and in Comparative Example 1, which lacks PTFE (Comparative Example 1), the friction coefficient rises to 0.6, indicating that PTFE plays an important role in reducing the friction coefficient and enhancing wear resistance. PEG can enhance the lubricity and wear resistance of the coating, and help to improve the antistatic performance of the film. In the examples, the PEG content is 10%-13%, which not only improves the friction coefficient, but also enhances the chemical stability and environmental adaptability of the film to some extent. In Comparative Example 4, PEG is replaced by PMMA, resulting in a decrease in the light transmittance and an increase in the gloss of the film, indicating that PEG plays an important role in optical performance and matte effect.

[0095] In the matte coating C, PUA is the main component of the coating, with excellent adhesion, elasticity and durability. It helps the coating to solidify into a dense protective layer, enhancing the wear resistance, UV resistance and chemical resistance of the film. In Comparative Example 8, PUA is replaced by epoxy acrylate (EA), resulting in an increase in the surface hardness of the coating but a decrease in flexibility, indicating that PUA plays a key role in balancing hardness and toughness. Silicone silica particles make important contributions to the wear resistance, scratch resistance and matte effect of the coating. It forms a uniform microstructure in the coating, enhancing the surface texture and light scattering ability of the coating. In the examples, 15%-20% of silicone silica particles are included, providing excellent wear resistance and good matte effect. Reducing this component (such as 10% in Comparative Example 5) will significantly affect the wear resistance and matte effect of the coating, resulting in an increase in gloss and a decrease in haze. TMPTA as a crosslinking agent enhances the hardness and stability of the coating. Its content in the coating is 15%-20%, which has a positive effect on the stability and chemical resistance of the coating. BP is a UV absorber that can improve the UV resistance of the coating and delay the aging of the coating. In the examples, the BP content is 2%-3%, and its absence or reduction (such as absence in Comparative Example 2) will significantly affect the UV aging performance, causing the changes in light transmittance and gloss to intensify.

[0096] The matte polyester film has the following advantages: (1) excellent mechanical properties and stability: by optimizing the PET and SiO2 content of the base material layer A, the film has excellent tensile strength, elongation at break and surface hardness, ensuring its stability and long service life in various application environments. (2) Good matte effect and optical performance: PTFE and PEG in the surface matte layer B help to improve the friction coefficient, wear resistance and lubricity of the film, and the introduction of SiO2 further enhances the matte effect. Adjusting the proportion of these components can accurately control the gloss, haze and light transmittance, ensuring the balance between low gloss and high light transmittance of the film. (3) UV and chemical resistance: the optimized combination of silicone silica particles, PUA, BP and other components in the matte coating C effectively improves the UV resistance and chemical solvent resistance of the film. Even under long-term ultraviolet light irradiation, the changes in light transmittance and gloss of the film are controlled at a low level. (4) Enhanced wear resistance and scratch resistance: by selecting appropriate silicone particles and other fillers, the coating enhances the scratch resistance, wear resistance and stain resistance of the film, ensuring that the film maintains excellent appearance and function for a long time in high-end applications. (5) Environmental protection and sustainability: the matte polyester film optimizes the components and uses environmentally friendly materials, which can meet the high performance requirements and have low environmental impact, meeting the requirements of modern industry for material sustainability.
