Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a film, a polarizing sheet, a heat-bent molded product, and sunglasses, and more particularly to a film containing a polycarbonate resin as a main component. [Background technology]

[0002] Polycarbonate resin is produced by the condensation polymerization of aromatic diols such as bisphenol A and carbonate precursors such as phosgene. It has excellent impact strength, numerical stability, heat resistance, and transparency, and is used in a wide range of fields, including exterior materials for electrical and electronic products, automotive parts, building materials, and optical components.

[0003] On the other hand, optical lenses used in sunglasses and the like are required to have a transmittance that does not affect the field of vision while preventing glare from external light sources. They also need to protect the eyes from harmful light rays of specific wavelengths, such as ultraviolet rays. Therefore, various technologies have been developed for using polycarbonate resin, which has excellent optical properties in addition to mechanical properties, in optical lenses for sunglasses and other outdoor activities (Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, etc.). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2019-202542 [Patent Document 2] International Publication No. 2019 / 066493 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] As mentioned above, the incorporation of an ultraviolet absorber into the polycarbonate resin used in sunglasses lenses has been investigated. However, when attempting to provide sunglasses with vision correction capabilities, the lens thickness varies depending on the eyeglass prescription. Therefore, it is necessary to incorporate an ultraviolet absorber into a layer other than the lens. Here, sunglasses or eyeglasses have a layer structure, for example, as shown in FIG. 1, specifically, a lens 1 and a polarizing film 2, with polarizing film substrates 3 and 4 typically provided on both sides of the polarizing film 2. Here, if a UV absorber is not incorporated into lens 1, it is conceivable to incorporate an ultraviolet absorber into polarizing film substrate 3 or polarizing film substrate 4. On the other hand, to prevent cataracts, etc., it is necessary to block light in the wavelength range up to about 420 nm. Also, depending on the use of sunglasses, heat resistance may be required. The present invention aims to solve these problems by providing a film that has low light transmittance for wavelengths of 420 nm or less and excellent heat resistance, as well as a polarizing sheet, a heat-bent molded product, and sunglasses.

[0008] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of a layer structure of the heat-bent molded body of the present embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter simply referred to as "the present embodiment") will be described in detail. Note that the present embodiment is an example for explaining the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to only this embodiment. In this specification, the symbol "to" is used to mean that the numerical values ​​before and after it are included as upper and lower limits. "A to B" means that the range is A or more and B or less. In addition, any combination of the upper and lower limit values ​​of the numerical values ​​in this specification is an example of this embodiment.

[0010] In this specification, various physical properties and characteristic values ​​are those at 23°C unless otherwise specified.

[0011] In this specification, weight average molecular weights are measured by gel permeation chromatography unless otherwise specified. Specifically, the gel permeation chromatography apparatus used was an LC-20AD system (Shimadzu Corporation), and an LF-804 (Shodex Corporation) was connected to the column. The column temperature was set to 40°C. The detector used was an RID-10A (Shimadzu Corporation) RI detector. Chloroform was used as the eluent, and a calibration curve was prepared using standard polystyrene (Tosoh Corporation).

[0012] In this specification, unless otherwise specified, the glass transition temperature (Tg) is a value measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in accordance with ISO 11357. Two cycles of temperature increase and decrease are performed according to the conditions of the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC measurement), and the glass transition temperature during the second temperature increase cycle is measured. The intersection of the line drawn by extending the low-temperature baseline toward the high-temperature side and the tangent to the inflection point is the glass transition temperature (Tg). Measurement starting temperature: 30°C, heating rate: 10°C / min, final temperature: 250°C, cooling rate: 20°C / min. Units are °C. A differential scanning calorimeter (DSC, manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Science Corporation, model number "DSC7020") can be used as the measuring device.

[0013] As used herein, the term "film" refers to a generally flat molded body that is thin relative to its length and width. The term "film" as used herein also includes "sheet." The film may be single-layered or multi-layered. In this specification, ppm means ppm by mass. If the measurement methods, etc. described in the standards shown in this specification change from year to year, they will be based on the standards in effect as of January 1, 2024, unless otherwise specified. If the measurement methods, etc. described in the standards shown in this specification are abolished as of January 1, 2024, they will be based on the standards in effect at the time of abolition. The scale of Figure 1 may not be consistent with reality.

[0014] The film of the present embodiment is characterized by containing an aromatic polycarbonate resin, an ultraviolet absorber having a triazine structure (sometimes referred to herein as a "triazine-based ultraviolet absorber"), and a specific wavelength absorbing dye having a maximum absorption wavelength in the wavelength range of 400 to 440 nm (sometimes referred to herein simply as a "specific wavelength absorbing dye (C)"). By adopting such a constitution, a film having low transmittance for light having a wavelength of 420 nm or less and excellent heat resistance can be obtained. The use of a yellow dye has been considered to block light with a wavelength of 420 nm. However, yellow dyes tend to make the resulting film too yellow and also tend to absorb light in wavelength regions where light blocking properties are not required. In particular, when polycarbonate resin films containing a yellow dye are laminated to both sides of a polarizing film, color change tends to occur more easily than with polycarbonate resin films that do not contain a yellow dye. The color change is particularly significant when the film is heated. In this embodiment, by using a UV absorber having a triazine structure in combination with a specific wavelength absorbing dye having a maximum absorption wavelength between 400 and 440 nm, it is possible to effectively block light up to wavelengths of about 420 nm while minimizing color change even when heated. This is presumably because the specific wavelength absorbing dye (C) exhibits a sharp absorption spectrum, and therefore can fully absorb light in the wavelength range of about 400 to 420 nm even in small amounts. Furthermore, it is presumed that the use of a triazine-based UV absorber can fully absorb light in the wavelength range of about 380 nm while minimizing color change due to heat resistance. Furthermore, the film of the present embodiment tends to be able to effectively suppress roll contamination caused by additives by using a triazine-based ultraviolet absorber and a specific wavelength absorbing dye (C).

[0015] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. However, the explanation of the constituent elements described below is an example of an embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these contents.

When the film of the present embodiment contains two or more triazine-based ultraviolet absorbers, the melting points of the triazine-based ultraviolet absorbers are the sum (weighted average) of the values ​​obtained by multiplying the melting points of the respective triazine-based ultraviolet absorbers by the mass fractions of the respective triazine-based ultraviolet absorbers.

The film of the present embodiment may contain only one type of triazine-based ultraviolet absorber, or may contain two or more types. When two or more types are contained, the total amount is preferably in the above range.

[0038] <Specific wavelength absorption dye with maximum absorption wavelength between 400 and 440 nm> In this embodiment, a specific wavelength absorbing dye (specific wavelength absorbing dye (C)) having a maximum absorption wavelength in the wavelength range of 400 to 440 nm is used. By using the specific wavelength absorbing dye (C), it is possible to fully exert the light absorbing function in the wavelength range of 400 to 440 nm even when a small amount is added. Furthermore, since the blending amount can be reduced, color change when the film is heated can be effectively suppressed. In particular, the inventors have conducted studies and found that the above-mentioned effect is significantly exerted when the specific wavelength absorbing dye (C) is used.

[0039] A specific wavelength absorbing dye is a dye that selectively absorbs light in a specific wavelength region, and specific wavelength region dyes for various wavelength regions are commercially available from Nagase Vita Co., Ltd., Yamada Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., Yamamoto Kasei Co., Ltd., Orient Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., and others. The specific wavelength absorption dye (C) used in the present embodiment has a maximum absorption wavelength between 400 and 440 nm, and the peak of the maximum absorption wavelength is preferably in a wavelength range of 410 nm or more, more preferably in a wavelength range of 415 nm or more, and is preferably in a wavelength range of 430 nm or less, and more preferably in a wavelength range of 425 nm or less.

[0040] Examples of the specific wavelength absorbing dye (C) used in this embodiment are shown below. (1) A dye that has a maximum absorption wavelength of 400 to 440 nm in its absorption spectrum. (2) A dye having an absorption spectrum with a half-width of 50 nm or less in the wavelength range of 400 to 440 nm. The half-width is preferably 30 nm or less, and practically 10 nm or more. The absorption spectrum is (3) A porphyrin dye having a maximum absorption wavelength in the wavelength range of 400 to 440 nm. It is empirically known that any of these dyes can be used as a specific wavelength absorbing dye (C). (4) A dye that satisfies two or three of the above (1) to (3)

[Example]

[0055] The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to examples. The materials, amounts used, ratios, processing details, processing procedures, etc. shown in the following examples can be appropriately changed without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the specific examples shown below. If the measuring instruments used in the examples are difficult to obtain due to discontinuation or the like, measurements can be made using other instruments with equivalent performance.

[0056] 1. Raw materials A1: Bisphenol A polycarbonate sheet resin, manufactured by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc., S-3000 B1: Triazine-based UV absorber, LA-F70, manufactured by ADEKA [ka] B2: Non-triazine UV absorber, LA-31, manufactured by ADEKA [ka]

[0057] C1: Specific wavelength absorption dye (C), maximum absorption wavelength is 420 nm, FDB-001, Yamada Chemical Co., Ltd. D1: Yellow dye, 8000, manufactured by Arimoto Chemical Industry Co., Ltd. D2: Yellow dye, 8005, manufactured by Arimoto Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.

[0058] Example 1, Comparative Examples 1 to 7 <Film manufacturing> A polycarbonate resin film was produced by the following method. The components listed in Table 1 were weighed out to the amounts listed in Table 1 (Table 1 shows the amounts in parts by mass, except for the specific wavelength absorbing dye (C) in ppm by mass). After mixing for 15 minutes in a tumbler, the mixture was extruded into a molten state using a T-die melt extruder consisting of a vented twin-screw segment extruder (Toyo Seiki Co., Ltd., "2D30W2") with a barrel diameter of 25 mm and a screw length / distance ratio of 30 mm at a throughput of 8 kg / h and a screw rotation speed of 100 rpm. The extruded material was then cooled and solidified using only the first roll of a film / sheet take-up device (Toyo Seiki Co., Ltd., "FT3W20") to produce a polycarbonate resin film. The cylinder / die head temperature was 280°C, and the roll temperature was 130°C. The final film thickness was adjusted to the thickness shown in Table 1 by changing the roll speed of the first roll.

[0059] <Light transmittance> The light transmittance of the obtained film at wavelengths of 420 nm and 380 nm was measured. Specifically, the light transmittance (unit: %) was measured using a spectrophotometer at a scan speed of 300 nm / min and a sampling interval of 1 nm. The measurement was carried out using a spectrophotometer U-4100 (manufactured by Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation). The light transmittance at 420 nm was evaluated according to the following classifications. <<Transmittance at 420 nm>> A: Less than 15% B: 1% to less than 50% C: 50% or more

[0060] <<Light transmittance of polarizing sheet>> The light transmittance at a wavelength of 420 nm of the resulting multilayer structure consisting of two overlapping films was measured. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0061] <Roll stains> The rolls used in the film production were visually inspected for contamination by five experts, who made a majority decision based on the following criteria: A: No dirt on the roll was found B: Roll contamination was confirmed

[0062] <Color change> The resulting multilayer body having two films stacked on top of each other was measured for hue, which was evaluated as a color change (ΔE) relative to the multilayer body using the film of Comparative Example 1. The hue was measured in accordance with JIS Z 8722 using a spectrophotometer under illumination and receiving light conditions of di:0° post-spectroscopic method. The spectrophotometer used was a "V-760" manufactured by JASCO Corporation.

[0063] <Heat resistance> The heat resistance of the obtained film was evaluated. Specifically, the multilayer body was heated at 120° C. for 100 hours, and the color change before and after heating was measured. The color change was evaluated as ΔE before and after heating. ΔE was measured using a spectrophotometer in accordance with JIS Z 8722 under illumination and light receiving conditions of di:0° post-spectrophotometric method. The spectrophotometer used was the SD-7000 manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd.

[0064] [Table 1]

[0065] In Table 1 above, the transmittance at 420 nm, the transmittance at 380 nm, the heat resistance and the roll contamination are evaluations of the film alone, and the color change, the transmittance at 420 nm and the multilayer body of two films stacked together are evaluations.

[0066] Among the values ​​shown in the "Transmittance at 380 nm" column, "<0.1" indicates that the transmittance of light at a wavelength of 380 nm was less than 0.1%. It was found that the film of this embodiment can sufficiently block light rays with wavelengths of 380 nm to 420 nm. Furthermore, it was found that the film of this embodiment can also block light rays with a wavelength of 420 nm when made into a multilayer body. The film of this embodiment was able to effectively suppress roll contamination during production. Although the film of this embodiment contains an ultraviolet absorber and a dye, color change was small when it was made into a multilayer body. Although the film of this embodiment contains an ultraviolet absorber and a dye, when it is made into a multilayer body, the heat resistance (color change) is small. Comparative Example 6 is an example in which an ultraviolet absorber other than a triazine-based ultraviolet absorber was used, and the ultraviolet absorber was blended to a level where the light transmittance at a wavelength of 420 nm satisfied the evaluation "A." As a result, the heat resistance was poor and roll contamination occurred. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 7, the amount of the ultraviolet absorber in Comparative Example 6 was changed to the same amount as in Example 1, and the light transmittance at a wavelength of 420 nm was high.

[0067] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. [Explanation of symbols]
