Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to thermoplastic resin films. [Background technology]

[0002] Films for agricultural greenhouses require transparency and weather resistance. Conventionally, ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE) films have been widely used as films for agricultural greenhouses. However, because ETFE films are fluorine-based resin films, they are expensive in terms of materials and are undesirable from an environmental perspective. Therefore, there is a demand for alternative materials that do not contain fluorine-based resins, are low-cost, and have a low environmental impact.

[0003] (Meth)acrylic resins are excellent in transparency, weather resistance, appearance, etc., and are used in a variety of applications. Among resins, (meth)acrylic resins have relatively high weather resistance. However, ultraviolet rays contained in sunlight cause resin degradation, so higher weather resistance is required for applications such as automotive exterior components, building materials, and agricultural materials. UV absorbers are examples of additives that improve weather resistance.

[0004] In Patent Document 1, the present applicant has described the following as a thermoplastic resin film that is excellent in transparency, weather resistance, antifouling properties, etc. and is suitable for use in agricultural greenhouses, etc.: a surface layer made of an acrylic resin composition containing a methacrylic resin, a rubber-like elastomer, and an ultraviolet absorber; a backing layer that is an antifouling resin layer containing a vinyl alcohol resin; The present invention discloses a thermoplastic resin film having an adhesive layer disposed between the front layer and the back layer, the adhesive layer containing a thermoplastic elastomer that is a block copolymer containing a polymer block containing an aromatic vinyl compound unit and a polymer block containing a conjugated diene compound unit, or a hydrogenated product thereof (claims 1 and 2). The ultraviolet absorber is preferably a benzotriazole-based ultraviolet absorber and / or a triazine-based ultraviolet absorber (claim 2). The rubber-like elastic material is preferably crosslinked rubber particles and / or an acrylic block copolymer (claim 3). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2022 / 019310 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2020-179568 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2022-61324 [Patent Document 4] International Publication No. 2018 / 062299 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] Acrylic resin compositions used in applications such as agricultural greenhouse films preferably have long-term weather resistance that allows them to maintain their ultraviolet blocking effect for a long period of time (for example, 5 years or more or 10 years or more). As a result of the inventors' investigations, it was found that with the thermoplastic resin film disclosed in Patent Document 1, the UV blocking effect of the surface layer may decrease after long-term use, and the adhesive layer and / or back layer may deteriorate. Increasing the amount of ultraviolet absorber added can improve the initial weather resistance and / or long-term weather resistance, but there is a risk of discoloration occurring during melt molding, in which a transparent resin is colored or a resin that has been colored to a desired color using a colorant changes color.

[0007] As techniques related to the present disclosure, Patent Documents 2 to 4 can be cited. Patent Document 2 discloses a decorative sheet using a curable composition containing, as a material for the surface protective layer, a methacrylic monomer, a hydroxyphenyltriazine ultraviolet absorber in which three phenyl groups, including a hydroxyphenyl group, are bonded to one triazine ring, and a curing agent (Claim 1, Example 1). Patent Document 3 discloses a methacrylic resin composition containing a methacrylic resin, a triazine ultraviolet absorber in which three monophenyl groups are bonded to one triazine ring, and a benzotriazole ultraviolet absorber (claims 1 and 3, paragraph 0045).

[0008] Patent Document 4 discloses a decorative sheet using a curable composition as a primer layer material, which contains a mixture of a polycarbonate-based urethane-acrylic copolymer and an acrylic polyol resin, an ultraviolet absorber in which one monophenyl group and two biphenyl groups are bonded to a triazine ring, an ultraviolet absorber in which three monophenyl groups are bonded to one triazine ring, and a curing agent (Claim 11, Example 1).

[0009] In Patent Document 3, a triazine-based ultraviolet absorber and a benzotriazole-based ultraviolet absorber are used in combination, but the benzotriazole-based ultraviolet absorber is easily consumed by ultraviolet absorption and does not have good long-term weather resistance. Patent Documents 2 and 3 do not disclose an ultraviolet absorber in which one monophenyl group and two biphenyl groups are bonded to a triazine ring, and do not disclose that a combination of a first triazine-based ultraviolet absorber in which one monophenyl group and two biphenyl groups are bonded to a triazine ring and a second triazine-based ultraviolet absorber in which three monophenyl groups are bonded to a triazine ring is preferable. In Patent Documents 2 and 4, a surface protection layer or a primer layer is formed by coating and curing a curable composition. In these documents, the surface protection layer or primer layer containing a triazine-based UV absorber is not a thermoplastic resin layer. Furthermore, it is difficult to increase the thickness of a surface protection layer or primer layer made of a cured product of a curable composition obtained by the methods described in these documents. If the amount of UV absorber is increased to improve initial weather resistance and / or long-term weather resistance, discoloration may occur during melt molding, in which a transparent resin is colored or a resin colored to a desired color using a colorant changes color.

[0010] The present disclosure has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a thermoplastic resin film that is inhibited from coloring or discoloring during melt molding and has excellent initial weather resistance and long-term weather resistance.

[0026] Generally, the terms "film," "sheet," or "plate" are used for thin film molded bodies depending on their thickness, but there is no clear definition and no clear distinction between them. In this specification, "film" includes "sheet."

[0027] [Thermoplastic resin film] The thermoplastic resin film of the present disclosure is The film includes an acrylic resin composition layer made of an acrylic resin composition (AR) containing one or more kinds of (meth)acrylic resins (A) and multiple kinds of ultraviolet absorbers (UVA).

[0028] The thermoplastic resin film of the first embodiment according to the present invention is a thermoplastic resin film having a single layer structure composed of the above acrylic resin composition layer.

[0029] The thermoplastic resin film of the second embodiment according to the present invention is a surface layer formed of the acrylic resin composition layer; The thermoplastic resin film has a laminated structure having the acrylic resin composition layer and a backing layer different from the acrylic resin composition layer. The backing layer can be made of various resin compositions, and is preferably made of a vinyl alcohol resin composition (VR) containing one or more vinyl alcohol resins (V).

[0030] The thermoplastic resin film of the third embodiment of the present invention has the configuration of the thermoplastic resin film of the second embodiment described above, and is a laminated thermoplastic resin film further having an intermediate layer between the front layer and the back layer. The intermediate layer can be made of various resin compositions, and is preferably made of an elastomer resin composition (ER) containing one or more thermoplastic elastomers (E) selected from the group consisting of block copolymers containing a polymer block (a) containing an aromatic vinyl compound unit and a polymer block (b) containing a conjugated diene compound unit, and hydrogenated products of the block copolymers.

The "front layer" can also be referred to as one front layer, and the "back layer" can also be referred to as the other front layer, and in actual use, the "front layer" can be used as the back side and the "back layer" can be used as the front side.

[0032] The thermoplastic resin film having a laminated structure according to the third embodiment will be described in detail below. Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the thermoplastic resin film having a laminated structure according to the third embodiment. In the drawing, reference numeral 1 denotes a thermoplastic resin film, reference numeral 11 denotes a surface layer, reference numeral 12 denotes a back layer, and reference numeral 13 denotes an intermediate layer. If necessary, one or more resin layers other than the intermediate layer 13 made of an elastomer resin composition (ER) may be provided between the surface layer 11 and the back layer 12.

[0033] (surface) The surface layer is made of an acrylic resin composition (AR) containing one or more (meth)acrylic resins (A) and multiple ultraviolet absorbers (UVA). The one or more (meth)acrylic resins (A) may contain one or more methacrylic resins (M) and one or more rubber-like elastomers (R) selected from the group consisting of acrylic rubber particles (RP) and acrylic block copolymers (RB). The acrylic resin composition (AR) can have a phase structure in which one or more types of rubber-like elastomer (R) are dispersed in a matrix resin containing one or more types of methacrylic resin (M). In general, the (meth)acrylic resin (A) has relatively high weather resistance among resins, and therefore, a surface layer made of an acrylic resin composition (AR) containing one or more (meth)acrylic resins (A) and multiple ultraviolet absorbers (UVA) has excellent weather resistance and can function as a weather-resistant resin layer. The surface layer containing one or more kinds of rubber-like elastomers (R) can have excellent flex resistance, impact resistance, and handling properties.

[0034] <Methacrylic resin (M)> The methacrylic resin (M) is a homopolymer or copolymer containing methyl methacrylate (MMA) units and may contain one or more other monomer units. The content of MMA units in the methacrylic resin (M) is preferably 80 to 100% by mass. The lower limit is more preferably 90% by mass. The content of other monomer units (total amount when multiple types are present) is preferably 0 to 20% by mass. The upper limit is more preferably 10% by mass.

[0035] Other monomers besides MMA include ethyl methacrylate, n-propyl methacrylate, isopropyl methacrylate, n-butyl methacrylate, isobutyl methacrylate, s-butyl methacrylate, t-butyl methacrylate, amyl methacrylate, isoamyl methacrylate, n-hexyl methacrylate, 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate, pentadecyl methacrylate, dodecyl methacrylate, phenyl methacrylate, benzyl methacrylate, phenoxyethyl methacrylate, methacrylic acid esters other than MMA, such as 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, 2-ethoxyethyl methacrylate, glycidyl methacrylate, allyl methacrylate, cyclohexyl methacrylate, norbornenyl methacrylate, and isobornyl methacrylate; methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, n-propyl acrylate, isopropyl acrylate, n-butyl acrylate, isobutyl acrylate, s-butyl acrylate, t-butyl acrylate, amyl acrylate, isoa acrylate, acrylic acid esters such as myrcene, n-hexyl acrylate, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, pentadecyl acrylate, dodecyl acrylate, phenyl acrylate, benzyl acrylate, phenoxyethyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, 2-ethoxyethyl acrylate, glycidyl acrylate, allyl acrylate, cyclohexyl acrylate, norbornenyl acrylate, and isobornyl acrylate; unsaturated carboxylic acids such as (meth)acrylic acid, maleic anhydride, maleic acid, and itaconic acid; olefins such as ethylene, propylene, 1-butene, isobutylene, and 1-octene; conjugated dienes such as butadiene, isoprene, and myrcene; aromatic vinyl compounds such as styrene (St), α-methylstyrene (αMSt), p-methylstyrene, and m-methylstyrene; (meth)acrylamide, (meth)acrylonitrile, vinyl acetate, vinylpyridine, vinyl ketone, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, and vinylidene fluoride.

[0036] The stereoregularity of the methacrylic resin (M) is not particularly limited, and methacrylic resins having stereoregularity such as isotactic, heterotactic, and syndiotactic may be used. As the methacrylic resin (M), a modified methacrylic resin that has been modified by introducing a ring structure into the main chain may be used in place of a general methacrylic resin (also called an unmodified methacrylic resin) that does not have a ring structural unit in the main chain. A methacrylic resin having no ring structural unit in the main chain can be produced by (co)polymerizing a monomer (mixture) containing methyl methacrylate (MMA) and, if necessary, one or more other monomers, by a known method. Methods for producing a methacrylic resin having a ring structural unit in the main chain include a method of copolymerizing, by a known method, multiple types of monomers including methyl methacrylate (MMA), a monomer having a ring structure, and, if necessary, other monomers; and a method of (co)polymerizing, by a known method, a methacrylic resin containing an MMA unit but no ring structural unit, and then introducing a ring structure into the main chain to form a ring structural unit. Examples of polymerization methods for methacrylic resins include radical polymerization methods such as suspension polymerization, (continuous) bulk polymerization, solution polymerization, and emulsion polymerization; and anionic polymerization.

[0037] The weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the methacrylic resin (M) is not particularly limited, and from the viewpoints of impact resistance, toughness, melt fluidity, and moldability, it is preferably 30,000 to 180,000, more preferably 40,000 to 150,000, and particularly preferably 50,000 to 130,000.

[0038] In the present disclosure, one or more types of rubber-like elastomers (R) may include one or more types of acrylic rubber particles (RP). Acrylic rubber particles (RP) in the material stage before being melt-kneaded with one or more other components (also referred to as raw acrylic rubber particles (RP)) have an outermost layer consisting of one or more thermoplastic resin component layers (II), and can have one or more crosslinked rubber component layers (I) inside. In the acrylic rubber particles (RP) with such a core-shell structure, at least a portion of the outermost layer consisting of one or more thermoplastic resin component layers (II) can be dissolved in the matrix resin of the acrylic resin composition (AR) and become a component of the matrix resin. At least a portion of the outermost layer consisting of one or more thermoplastic resin component layers (II) of the acrylic rubber particles (RP) that is dissolved in the matrix resin can contain a methacrylic resin. In this case, this methacrylic resin is included in the methacrylic resin (M) referred to in this specification.

[0039] To prevent deterioration in handling due to adhesion between acrylic rubber particles (RP) and deterioration in impact resistance due to poor dispersion during melt-kneading, the acrylic rubber particles (RP) can be used in the form of a latex or powder containing the acrylic rubber particles (RP) and a dispersant (D). As the dispersant (D), for example, methacrylic resin particles with a particle size smaller than that of the acrylic rubber particles (RP) can be used. The acrylic resin composition (AR) may also contain a polymer processing aid (PA) as an additive to improve molding processability. Polymer particles having a particle size of 0.05 to 0.5 μm, produced by emulsion polymerization, are preferably used as the polymer processing aid (PA). The polymer processing aid (PA) may be methacrylic resin particles. When the acrylic resin composition (AR) contains, as additives, a dispersant (D) made of a methacrylic resin and / or a polymer processing aid (PA) made of a methacrylic resin, these additives made of a methacrylic resin are included in the methacrylic resin (M) referred to in this specification.

[0040] The methacrylic resin (M) contained in the acrylic resin composition (AR) is It is composed of one or more thermoplastic resin component layers (II) of acrylic rubber particles (RP) that are compatible with a matrix resin, and at least a part of the outermost layer contains a methacrylic resin, a dispersing agent (D) made of a methacrylic resin, a polymer processing aid (PA) made of a methacrylic resin, or a combination thereof, It consists of one or more thermoplastic resin component layers of acrylic rubber particles (RP) that are compatible with the matrix resin, and can consist of at least a portion of the outermost layer containing a methacrylic resin, a dispersant (D) made of a methacrylic resin, a polymer processing aid (PA) made of a methacrylic resin, or a combination thereof.

[0041] The total amount of the matrix resin including the methacrylic resin (M) in 100% by mass of the acrylic resin composition (AR) is preferably 30 to 54% by mass. The lower limit is preferably 35% by mass. The upper limit is preferably 45% by mass. The content of the methacrylic resin (M) in 100% by mass of the matrix resin is preferably 50 to 100% by mass, and the lower limit is more preferably 60% by mass, even more preferably 70% by mass, particularly preferably 70% by mass, and most preferably 90% by mass.

[0042] <Acrylic rubber particles (RP)> In the present disclosure, one or more types of rubber-like elastomer (R) may contain one or more types of acrylic rubber particles (RP). The acrylic rubber particles (RP) in the material stage before being melt-kneaded with one or more other components (material acrylic rubber particles (RP)) may be multi-layered polymer particles with a core-shell structure having an outermost layer made of one or more thermoplastic resin component layers (II) and one or more cross-linked rubber component layers (I) inside. In the acrylic rubber particles (RP) with a core-shell structure, the center core at the center is considered to be a "layer." The number of layers of the acrylic rubber particles (RP) is preferably 2 to 4. Examples of the layer structure include, from the center, a two-layer structure of layer (I)-layer (II); a three-layer structure of layer (I)-layer (I)-layer (II), layer (I)-layer (II)-layer (II), or layer (II)-layer (I)-layer (II); and a four-layer structure such as layer (I)-layer (II)-layer (I)-layer (II). Among these, a two-layer structure of layer (I)-layer (II) and a three-layer structure of layer (I)-layer (I)-layer (II) or layer (II)-layer (I)-layer (II) are preferred.

[0043] For example, in the case of acrylic rubber particles (RP) having a three-layer structure of Layer (I)-Layer (I)-Layer (II) or Layer (II)-Layer (I)-Layer (II), typically, in the acrylic resin composition (AR), a portion of the outermost layer (the third layer from the center, Layer (II)) is compatible with the matrix resin and becomes a component of the matrix resin, while a portion of the innermost layer remains connected to the second layer from the center (Layer (I)). When a methacrylic resin is included in the outermost layer of the acrylic rubber particles (RP) that is compatible with the matrix resin, this methacrylic resin is included in the methacrylic resin (M) referred to in this specification.

[0044] The mass ratio (layer (I) / layer (II)) of the total amount of the crosslinked rubber component layers (I) to the total amount of the thermoplastic resin component layers (II) is preferably 30 / 70 to 90 / 10. If the proportion of layer (I) is less than the above range, the flexibility of the acrylic resin composition (AR) may be insufficient. If the proportion of layer (I) is more than the above range, it may be difficult to form a particle structure, and the melt fluidity of the acrylic rubber particles (RP) may decrease, making it difficult to melt-knead with other components and to mold the acrylic resin composition (AR). The mass ratio (layer (I) / layer (II)) is more preferably 50 / 50 to 90 / 10, and particularly preferably 60 / 40 to 80 / 20.

[0045] From the viewpoints of the rubber elasticity of the acrylic rubber particles (RP) and the ease of forming a layer structure of the acrylic rubber particles (RP), layer (I) preferably comprises a copolymer consisting of 50 to 99.99 mass% of acrylic acid ester monomer units, 49.99 to 0 mass% of other monofunctional monomer units, and 0.15 to 10 mass% of polyfunctional monomer units. The content of the acrylic acid ester monomer units is preferably 55 to 99.9 mass%, the content of the other monofunctional monomer units is preferably 44.9 to 0 mass%, and the content of the polyfunctional monomer units is preferably 0.16 to 2 mass%. This copolymer preferably contains 1 mass% or more of the other monomer units.

[0046] The raw material monomers for the layer (I) will be explained below. As the acrylic acid ester, one or more known acrylic acid esters can be used. A polyfunctional monomer is a monomer having two or more carbon-carbon double bonds in the molecule. Examples of polyfunctional monomers include esters of unsaturated monocarboxylic acids, such as (meth)acrylic acid and cinnamic acid, with unsaturated alcohols, such as (meth)allyl alcohol; diesters of unsaturated monocarboxylic acids with glycols, such as ethylene glycol, butanediol, and hexanediol; and esters of dicarboxylic acids, such as phthalic acid, terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, and maleic acid, with unsaturated alcohols. Specific examples include allyl acrylate, methallyl acrylate, allyl methacrylate (ALMA), methallyl methacrylate, (meth)allyl cinnamate, diallyl maleate, diallyl phthalate, diallyl terephthalate, diallyl isophthalate, divinylbenzene, ethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate, butanediol di(meth)acrylate, and hexanediol di(meth)acrylate. Among these, allyl methacrylate (ALMA) is preferred. Other monofunctional monomers include methacrylic acid esters, aromatic vinyl monomers, and vinyl cyanide monomers.

[0047] From the viewpoint of compatibility between the acrylic rubber particles (RP) and other components, the layer (II) preferably comprises a (co)polymer consisting of 40 to 100% by mass of methacrylate ester units and 60 to 0% by mass of other monomer units. This (co)polymer preferably contains other monomer units. The content of the methacrylate ester units is preferably 60 to 99% by mass, more preferably 80 to 99% by mass, and the content of the other monomer units is preferably 40 to 1% by mass, more preferably 20 to 1% by mass.

[0048] The raw material monomers for the layer (II) will be explained below. As the methacrylic acid ester, one or more known methacrylic acid esters can be used, and methyl methacrylate (MMA) and the like are preferred. Examples of other monomers include acrylic esters, aromatic vinyl monomers, vinyl cyanide monomers, maleimide monomers such as maleimide, N-methylmaleimide, N-ethylmaleimide, N-propylmaleimide, N-isopropylmaleimide, N-cyclohexylmaleimide, N-phenylmaleimide, N-(p-bromophenyl)maleimide, and N-(chlorophenyl)maleimide, and the polyfunctional monomers exemplified for layer (I). Among the acrylic esters, aromatic vinyl monomers, and vinyl cyanide monomers, alkyl acrylate esters such as methyl acrylate (MA), ethyl acrylate, and n-butyl acrylate (BA) are preferred.

[0049] From the viewpoints of physical properties and ease of production, the acrylic rubber particles (RP) are preferably acrylic rubber particles (RP) having a three-layer structure consisting of, from the center, a crosslinked rubber component layer (Ia) which is the first crosslinked rubber component layer (I), a crosslinked rubber component layer (Ib) which is the second crosslinked rubber component layer (I), and a thermoplastic resin component layer (II). The mass ratio ((Ia) / (Ib)) of the crosslinked rubber component layer (Ia) to the crosslinked rubber component layer (Ib) is preferably 5 / 95 to 95 / 5, more preferably 20 / 80 to 80 / 20.

[0050] The method for producing the acrylic rubber particles (RP) can include a polymerization reaction step (S1) for forming a crosslinked rubber component layer (I) and a polymerization reaction step (S2) for forming a thermoplastic resin component layer (II). In the polymerization reaction step (S1), a monomer mixture (i) corresponding to the copolymer composition of the crosslinked rubber component layer (I) is copolymerized by a known method. Similarly, in the polymerization reaction step (S2), a monomer (mixture) (ii) corresponding to the (co)polymer composition of the thermoplastic resin component layer (II) is (co)polymerized by a known method. In the polymerization reaction step (S2), a molecular weight modifier can be used in an amount of 0.4 to 10% by mass, more preferably 0.4 to 5% by mass, and particularly preferably 0.6 to 2% by mass, relative to the monomer (mixture) (ii). Examples of molecular weight modifiers include mercaptans such as n-octyl mercaptan (n-OM), t-octyl mercaptan, n-dodecyl mercaptan, t-dodecyl mercaptan, and mercaptoethanol; terpene mixtures consisting of terpinolene, dipentene, t-terpinene, and small amounts of other cyclic terpenes; and halogenated hydrocarbons such as chloroform and carbon tetrachloride. Among these, alkyl mercaptans such as n-octyl mercaptan (n-OM) are preferred.

[0051] The polymerization method for the acrylic rubber particles (RP) is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include emulsion polymerization, suspension emulsion polymerization, solution polymerization, and combinations thereof. As an example, suitable polymerization conditions for the acrylic rubber particles (RP) by emulsion polymerization will be described below. The polymerization temperature is generally 0 to 100°C. Examples of emulsifiers include alkali metal salts of fatty acids such as sodium oleate, sodium laurate, and sodium stearate; sulfate salts of fatty alcohols such as sodium lauryl sulfate; rosinate salts such as potassium rosinate; and alkylarylsulfonic acids such as dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid. The polymerization initiator is generally a radical polymerization initiator. As the radical polymerization initiator, peroxides such as persulfates, azobisisobutyronitrile, and benzoyl peroxide can be used alone. Redox initiators that combine organic hydroperoxides such as cumene hydroperoxide, diisopropylbenzene hydroperoxide, and paramenthane hydroperoxide with a reducing agent such as a transition metal salt can also be used. The average particle size of the acrylic rubber particles (RP) can be controlled within a preferred range by adjusting the polymerization conditions such as the amount of emulsifier added. After the polymerization is completed, the acrylic rubber particles (RP) can be separated from the reaction system by known methods such as acid precipitation, salting out, spray drying, and freeze-coagulation.

[0052] As described above, in the acrylic rubber particles (RP) having a core-shell structure, at least a portion of the outermost layer, which is made up of one or more thermoplastic resin component layers (II), is compatible with the matrix resin in the acrylic resin composition (AR) and can become one component of the matrix resin. Therefore, unless otherwise specified, in this disclosure, the average particle size of the acrylic rubber particles (RP) is taken as the average particle size data of the layer from the center to the outermost crosslinked rubber component layer (I) that is not compatible with the matrix resin. For example, in a two-layer structure of layer (I)-layer (II) from the center, and a three-layer structure of layer (I)-layer (II)-layer (II) from the center, the "outermost cross-linked rubber component layer (I)" is the first layer (first layer) from the center. In a three-layer structure of layer (I)-layer (I)-layer (II) and layer (II)-layer (I)-layer (II) from the center, the "outermost cross-linked rubber component layer (I)" is the second layer (second layer) from the center. In a four-layer structure of layer (I)-layer (II)-layer (I)-layer (II) from the center, the "outermost cross-linked rubber component layer (I)" is the third layer (third layer) from the center.

[0053] The crosslinked rubber component layer (I) contained in the acrylic rubber particles (RP) can be selectively electron-stained using phosphotungstic acid, ruthenium tetroxide, or the like. By electron-staining the crosslinked rubber component layer (I) of the acrylic rubber particles (RP) contained in the thermoplastic resin film of the present disclosure and observing an electron microscope image (preferably a transmission electron microscope image (TEM)), it is possible to identify the portion from the center of any one acrylic rubber particle (RP) to the outermost crosslinked rubber component layer (I). The diameter of this portion is determined as the particle size. Note that when the particle shape is non-circular, the particle size is the average of the major axis diameter and minor axis diameter of the portion from the center of the acrylic rubber particle (RP) to the outermost crosslinked rubber component layer (I). In this specification, unless otherwise specified, the "average particle size from the center to the outermost crosslinked rubber component layer (I)" refers to the average particle size (number average particle size) from the center to the outermost crosslinked rubber component layer (I) of 30 randomly selected acrylic rubber particles (RP). The volume average particle size (D50, median size) of the acrylic rubber particles (RP) in the latex can be measured by dynamic light scattering using a laser diffraction / scattering particle size distribution measuring device or the like.

[0078] [ka] (TAY1)

[0079] [ka] (TAY2)

[0080] The first triazine-based ultraviolet absorber (TAX) has a large absorption peak in the wavelength region of 250 to 400 nm, and has high absorbance in a wide range of about 290 to about 350 nm (for example, absorbance of 0.50 or more or 0.6 or more), and the absorption peak wavelength (the wavelength at which the absorbance is maximum) can be 300 to 340 nm (see the absorption spectrum of the ultraviolet absorber (TAX1) in Figure 2). The second triazine-based ultraviolet absorber (TAY) has a large absorption peak in the wavelength region of 250 to 330 nm, and has high absorbance in the range of about 250 to about 300 nm (for example, absorbance of 0.50 or more or 0.6 or more), and the absorption peak wavelength (the wavelength at which the absorbance is maximum) can be 250 to 300 nm (see the absorption spectrum of the ultraviolet absorber (TAY1) in Figure 2).

When the first triazine-based ultraviolet absorber (TAX) and the second triazine-based ultraviolet absorber (TAY) are used in combination, the second triazine-based ultraviolet absorber (TAY) can absorb light in the low wavelength range where the absorbance of the first triazine-based ultraviolet absorber (TAX) alone is low, and high absorbance (for example, absorbance of 0.50 or more or 0.60 or more) can be achieved in a wide range from 250 to 350 nm.

[0082] Generally, if the amount of ultraviolet absorber in a resin composition is increased in order to improve the initial weather resistance and / or long-term weather resistance, there is a risk of discoloration occurring during melt molding, in which a transparent resin is colored or a resin colored to a desired color using a colorant changes color. The thermoplastic resin film of the present disclosure, having a single-layer structure or a laminate structure, including an acrylic resin composition layer made of an acrylic resin composition (AR) containing a first triazine-based ultraviolet absorber (TAX) and a second triazine-based ultraviolet absorber (TAY), can improve initial weather resistance and long-term weather resistance without increasing the total amount of ultraviolet absorber (UVA) in the acrylic resin composition (AR). Since the total amount of ultraviolet absorber (UVA) in the acrylic resin composition (AR) does not need to be increased, coloring or discoloration during melt molding can be suppressed.

[0083] From the viewpoints of initial weather resistance, long-term weather resistance, and prevention of coloring or discoloration during melt molding, the total amount of the first triazine ultraviolet absorber (TAX) and the second triazine ultraviolet absorber (TAY) is preferably 0.8 to 5.0 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of (meth)acrylic resin (A) (for example, 100 parts by mass of the total amount of methacrylic resin (M) and rubber-like elastomer (R)). The lower limit is more preferably 0.9 parts by mass, and particularly preferably 1.0 part by mass. The upper limit is more preferably 4.5 parts by mass, and particularly preferably 4.2 parts by mass.

[0084] The total amount of the first triazine ultraviolet absorber (TAX) is preferably 0.4 to 2.5 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the (meth)acrylic resin (A). The lower limit is more preferably 0.45 parts by mass, and particularly preferably 0.5 parts by mass. The upper limit is more preferably 2.25 parts by mass, and particularly preferably 2.1 parts by mass. The total amount of the second triazine ultraviolet absorber (TAY) is preferably 0.4 to 2.5 parts by mass relative to 100 parts by mass of the (meth)acrylic resin (A), with the upper limit being more preferably 2.25 parts by mass, and particularly preferably 2.1 parts by mass.

[0085] The ratio (mass ratio) of the total amount of the first triazine-based ultraviolet absorber (TAX) to the total amount of the second triazine-based ultraviolet absorber (TAY) is preferably 0.16 to 6.25. The lower limit is more preferably 0.2, even more preferably 0.5, and particularly preferably 0.8. The upper limit is more preferably 6.0, even more preferably 5.0, even more preferably 4.0, even more preferably 3.0, even more preferably 2.0, even more preferably 1.5, and particularly preferably 1.2. The ratio (mass ratio) of the total amount of the first triazine-based ultraviolet absorber (TAX) to the total amount of the second triazine-based ultraviolet absorber (TAY) is most preferably 1.

[0086] The thermoplastic resin film of the present disclosure, which has a single-layer structure or a laminate structure and includes an acrylic resin composition layer made of an acrylic resin composition (AR) containing a first triazine-based ultraviolet absorber (TAX) and a second triazine-based ultraviolet absorber (TAY), can have excellent initial weather resistance and long-term weather resistance. The long-term weather resistance can be evaluated by conducting an accelerated weather resistance test using an accelerated weather resistance test device such as a weather meter, and comparing the optical properties before and after the accelerated weather resistance test.

[0087] The initial weather resistance can be measured using the transmittance (also called UV transmittance) of ultraviolet light (light in the wavelength range of 300 to 380 nm) of the thermoplastic resin film at an initial stage (before the accelerated weather resistance test). Long-term weather resistance can be evaluated by the UV transmittance of the thermoplastic resin film after an accelerated weather resistance test and / or the rate of change in the UV transmittance of the thermoplastic resin film after an accelerated weather resistance test relative to the initial value (before the accelerated weather resistance test). The accelerated weathering test, measurement of UV transmittance before and after the accelerated weathering test, and calculation of the rate of change in UV transmittance after the accelerated weathering test relative to the initial value (before the accelerated weathering test) can be performed by the method described in the section [Examples] below.

[0088] The rate of change in UV transmittance after the accelerated weathering test relative to the initial value (before the accelerated weathering test) can be determined when the UV transmittance after the accelerated weathering test is 0.001% or more. If the UV transmittance of the thermoplastic resin film after the accelerated weathering test is less than 0.001%, the UV transmittance after the accelerated weathering test is very small, and it can be determined that the long-term weathering resistance is good regardless of the rate of change in UV transmittance after the accelerated weathering test.

[0089] The thermoplastic resin film of the present disclosure in its initial state (before the accelerated weathering test) has a light transmittance (T 314 ) is preferably 0 to 0.3%. The upper limit is more preferably 0.25%, even more preferably 0.2%, even more preferably 0.15%, even more preferably 0.1%, even more preferably 0.08%, particularly preferably 0.07%, and most preferably 0.06%. After the accelerated weathering test, the thermoplastic resin film of the present disclosure exhibited a light transmittance (T 314 ) is preferably 0 to 0.3%. The upper limit is more preferably 0.25%, even more preferably 0.2%, even more preferably 0.15%, even more preferably 0.1%, even more preferably 0.08%, particularly preferably 0.07%, and most preferably 0.06%.

[0090] The light transmittance (T) of the thermoplastic resin film of the present disclosure at a wavelength of 314 nm after an accelerated weathering test 314 ) is 0.001% or more, the rate of change in UV transmittance at a wavelength of 314 nm defined by the following formula (ΔT 314 ) can be obtained. [Change rate of UV transmittance (ΔT 314 )(%)]=100×[(UV transmittance after accelerated weathering test (T 314 ))-(Initial UV transmittance (T 314 ))] / [UV transmittance after accelerated weathering test (T 314 )]

[0091] ΔT 314 The larger the value, the greater the increase in UV transmittance at 314 nm after the accelerated weathering test compared to the initial value (before the accelerated weathering test). For example, a ΔT of 90% or more 314indicates that the UV transmittance after the accelerated weathering test increased by 10 times or more compared to the initial value (before the accelerated weathering test) (in other words, the UV blocking performance after the accelerated weathering test decreased by 10 times or more compared to the initial value (before the accelerated weathering test)). T of the thermoplastic resin film of the present disclosure after accelerated weathering test 314 ΔT when is 0.001% or more 314 is preferably 0 to 95%. The upper limit is more preferably 90%, further preferably 85%, further preferably 80%, particularly preferably 75%, and most preferably 70%.

[0092] The thermoplastic resin film of the present disclosure at the initial stage (before the accelerated weathering test) exhibits a light transmittance (T 275 ) is preferably 0 to 0.3%. The upper limit is more preferably 0.25%, even more preferably 0.2%, even more preferably 0.15%, even more preferably 0.1%, even more preferably 0.08%, particularly preferably 0.07%, and most preferably 0.06%. The thermoplastic resin film of the present disclosure in its initial state (before accelerated weathering test) has a light transmittance at 350 nm (T 350 ) is preferably 0 to 0.3%. The upper limit is more preferably 0.25%, even more preferably 0.2%, even more preferably 0.15%, even more preferably 0.1%, even more preferably 0.08%, particularly preferably 0.07%, and most preferably 0.06%. The initial (before accelerated weather resistance test) thermoplastic resin film of the present disclosure preferably has a light transmittance of 0 to 0.3% at each wavelength (250+N (nm) (N is an integer from 0 to 100) within a wavelength range of 250 to 350 nm. The upper limit is more preferably 0.25%, even more preferably 0.2%, even more preferably 0.15%, even more preferably 0.1%, still more preferably 0.08%, particularly preferably 0.07%, and most preferably 0.06%.

[0093] <Light stabilizer (LS)> The acrylic resin composition (AR) may contain one or more light stabilizers (LS) as needed.

Injection temperature: 250℃, Detector temperature: 250℃, Temperature profile: Hold at 60°C for 5 minutes → Heat to 250°C at a rate of 10°C / min → Hold at 250°C for 10 minutes.

[0189] (Weight average molecular weight (Mw), molecular weight distribution (weight average molecular weight (Mw) / number average molecular weight (Mn)) The weight average molecular weight (Mw) and molecular weight distribution (weight average molecular weight (Mw) / number average molecular weight (Mn)) of the resin were determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The GPC apparatus used was a Tosoh HLC-8320 (product number) equipped with a differential refractive index detector (RI detector). Tetrahydrofuran was used as the eluent, and TSKgel SuperMultipore Column (manufactured by Tosoh) was used as the column. Two "HZM-M" columns and a "SuperHZ4000" column connected in series were used. A sample solution was prepared by dissolving 4 mg of resin in 5 mL of tetrahydrofuran. The column oven temperature was set to 40°C, and 20 μL of the sample solution was injected at an eluent flow rate of 0.35 mL / min to measure the chromatogram. GPC measurements were performed using 10 standard polystyrene or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) samples with molecular weights ranging from 400 to 5,000,000, and a calibration curve showing the relationship between retention time and molecular weight was prepared. Based on this calibration curve, the Mw, Mn, and Mw / Mn of the resin, converted into standard polystyrene or standard PMMA, were determined.

[0190] (Average particle size) Using an ultramicrotome (Leica EM UC7rt, manufactured by JEOL Ltd.), cross-sectional sections (50 nm thick) parallel to the extrusion direction were cut from the thermoplastic resin film. The obtained sections were electro-stained using a 10% by mass aqueous solution of phosphotungstic acid. This method selectively stains only the cross-linked rubber component layer contained in the acrylic rubber particles. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) images of the above sections were observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) (JEOL Ltd., "JSM-7600F") and its optional transmission electron detector (SM-74240RTED). For 30 randomly selected first acrylic rubber particles (RP-S) whose diameter from the center to the outermost cross-linked rubber component layer was 50 nm or more and less than 160 nm, the diameter from the center to the outermost cross-linked rubber component layer was measured as the particle diameter. If the particle shape was non-circular, the average of the major axis diameter and minor axis diameter from the center to the outermost cross-linked rubber component layer of the acrylic rubber particle (RP-S) was used as the particle diameter. The average particle diameter of the 30 particles was used as the data for "average particle diameter of first acrylic rubber particles (RP-S)." Similarly, for 30 randomly selected second acrylic rubber particles (RP-L) whose entire particle was visible and whose diameter from the center to the outermost cross-linked rubber component layer was 160 nm or more and 300 nm or less, the diameter from the center to the outermost cross-linked rubber component layer (if the particle shape was non-circular, the average of the major axis diameter and minor axis diameter) was measured as the particle diameter, and these average values ​​were used as the data for the "average particle diameter of the second acrylic rubber particles (RP-L)." In addition, in all of the acrylic rubber particles (RP) used in the section [Examples], the outermost crosslinked rubber component layer is the second layer from the center (second layer).

[0191] (hydrogenation rate) The hydrogenation rate of the polymer block containing conjugated diene compound units was determined by measuring the iodine value of the block copolymer before and after the hydrogenation reaction.

[0192] (Total amount of 1,2-bonds and 3,4-bonds) Thermoplastic elastomers containing polymer blocks containing conjugated diene compound units 1 H-NMR measurement was performed. The total amount of 1,2-bonds and 3,4-bonds was calculated from the ratio of the integral value of the first peak at 4.2 to 5.0 ppm, which is derived from 1,2-bonded and 3,4-bonded conjugated diene compound units, to the integral value of the second peak at 5.0 to 5.45 ppm, which is derived from 1,4-bonded conjugated diene compound units.

[0193] (Melting Point) The melting point of the polypropylene polymer was measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (Shimadzu Corporation, "DSC-50 (product number)"). Approximately 5 mg of a polypropylene film sample was placed in an aluminum pan and set in the apparatus. After nitrogen replacement for 30 minutes or more, the sample was heated from room temperature (20-25°C) to 200°C at a rate of 10°C / min in a 10 ml / min nitrogen stream, held for 5 minutes, and then cooled to 40°C at a rate of 10°C / min (first scan). The sample was then heated to 200°C at a rate of 10°C / min (second scan), and a fusion calorimeter curve was obtained. The melting point (Tm) was determined as the maximum peak temperature of melting (°C).

[0194] (melt tension) The melt tension of the polypropylene polymer was measured using a capillary rheometer ("Capilograph 1D" manufactured by Toyo Seiki Seisakusho Co., Ltd.) equipped with a pulley-type tension measurement unit. The polypropylene polymer was placed in a 9.55 mm diameter cylinder heated to 230°C. The molten polypropylene polymer was extruded through a 2.0 mm diameter, 40 mm long orifice at an extrusion rate of 20 mm / min and taken up by a pair of take-up rolls at a take-up rate of 4.0 m / min. The tension applied to the pulley-type tension measurement jig was measured as the melt tension (N).

[0195] (Total thickness and thickness of each layer) The total thickness of the thermoplastic resin film was measured using a micrometer. The thickness of each layer included in the laminated thermoplastic resin film was determined by cutting the thermoplastic resin film in the thickness direction with a razor and observing the resulting cross section under a microscope, and the ratio of the thickness of each layer to the total thickness was determined.

[0196] (Transmittance before and after accelerated weathering test) <Initial transmittance (before weather resistance test)> A 50 mm x 50 mm test piece was cut out from the thermoplastic resin film. A spectrophotometer (Shimadzu Corporation, "UV3600") was used to obtain a transmission spectrum in the wavelength range of 250 to 600 nm, and the light transmittance (initial transmittance (before weather resistance test)) (TW ) was obtained. T W represents the light transmittance at wavelength W nm (W is an integer between 250 and 600). The initial UV transmittance (T 275 ), (T 314 ), (T 350 ) was identified.

[0197] <Accelerated weather resistance test> The accelerated weathering test equipment used was an Iwasaki Electric Metal Halide Lamp Weather Meter SUV-W161. A 1,000-hour accelerated weathering test was conducted under conditions of a black panel temperature of 63°C, UV irradiation, and rainfall. For laminated thermoplastic resin films, the thermoplastic resin film was positioned so that light was shining on the surface side. The rainfall consisted of a cycle of 12 minutes of rain followed by 48 minutes of rest. This accelerated weathering test is considered equivalent to a 20-year weathering test under actual usage conditions.

[0198] <Transmittance after accelerated weathering test> The transmission spectrum of the thermoplastic resin film in the wavelength range of 250 to 600 nm after the accelerated weathering test was obtained in the same manner as before the accelerated weathering test, and the light transmittance (transmittance after the weathering test) (T W The UV transmittance (T 275 ), (T 314 ), (T 350 ) was identified. In Examples E1 to E8, the UV transmittance (T 275 ), (T 350 ) is (T 314 Therefore, in Table 4, the UV transmittance data after the accelerated weathering test is shown as T 314 Only the above is listed.

[0199] The rate of change in UV transmittance (ΔT 314 ) was sought. [Change rate of UV transmittance (ΔT 314)(%)]=100×[(UV transmittance after accelerated weathering test (T 314 ))-(Initial UV transmittance (T 314 ))] / [UV transmittance after accelerated weathering test (T 314 )] ΔT 314 The larger the value, the greater the increase in UV transmittance at 314 nm after the accelerated weathering test compared to the initial value (before the accelerated weathering test). For example, a ΔT of 90% or more 314 indicates that the UV transmittance after the accelerated weathering test increased by 10 times or more compared to the initial value (before the accelerated weathering test) (in other words, the UV blocking performance after the accelerated weathering test decreased by 10 times or more compared to the initial value (before the accelerated weathering test)).

[0200] (heating test) A 50 mm x 50 mm test piece was cut out from a transparent thermoplastic resin film. This test piece was placed in an oven set to 250°C and heated for 2 hours.

[0232] [Summary of results] The absorption spectra of the ultraviolet absorbers (TAX1), (TAY1), and (BT1) used as the surface layer materials in the section [Examples] were measured. A chloroform solution (concentration: 10 mg / L) of UV absorber (TAX1), (TAY1), or (BT1) was prepared. The resulting sample was placed in a quartz cell, and its absorption spectrum was measured using a spectrophotometer (Shimadzu Corporation, "UV3600") at a measurement temperature of 23°C and a measurement wavelength range of 250 to 600 nm. The absorption spectra of UV absorbers (TAX1), (TAY1), and (BT1) are shown in Figure 2.

[0233] The first triazine-based ultraviolet absorber (TAX1) had a large absorption peak in the wavelength range of 250 to 400 nm, and an absorbance of 0.60 or more over a wide range of 288 to 352 nm (approximately 290 to approximately 352 nm), with an absorption peak wavelength (the wavelength at which the absorbance is maximum) of 319 nm. The second triazine-based ultraviolet absorber (TAY1) had a large absorption peak in the wavelength range of 250 to 325 nm, an absorbance of 0.60 or more in the range of 250 to 300 nm, and an absorption peak wavelength (the wavelength at which the absorbance is maximum) of 275 nm. It was found that the first triazine-based UV absorber (TAX1) and the second triazine-based UV absorber (TAY1) have different absorption peak wavelengths and are complementary to each other. When the first triazine-based UV absorber (TAX1) and the second triazine-based UV absorber (TAY1) are used in combination, the second triazine-based UV absorber (TAY1) can absorb light in the wavelength range of 250 to 288 nm, where the absorbance of the first triazine-based UV absorber (TAX1) alone is low, and it was found that an absorbance of 0.60 or more can be achieved over a wide range from 250 to 350 nm.

[0234] The benzotriazole-based compound (BT1) tended to have lower absorbance across the entire wavelength range of 250 to 400 nm compared to the two triazine-based UV absorbers (TAX1) and (TAY1). The benzotriazole-based compound (BT1) had two small absorbance peaks in the wavelength range of 250 to 400 nm, with the absorbance peak wavelengths (wavelengths at which absorbance was greatest) at 303 nm and 346 nm. The absorbance at the 303 nm peak was 0.43 (less than 0.50), and the absorbance at the 346 nm peak was 0.43 (less than 0.50).

[0235] In Examples E1 to E8, a thermoplastic resin film was obtained that included an acrylic resin composition layer made of an acrylic resin composition (AR) containing one or more (meth)acrylic resins (A), one or more first triazine ultraviolet absorbers (TAX) in which one monophenyl group, which may have a substituent, and two biphenyl groups, which may have a substituent, are bonded to one triazine ring, and one or more second triazine ultraviolet absorbers (TAY) in which three monophenyl groups, which may have a substituent, are bonded to one triazine ring. All of the thermoplastic resin films obtained in these examples had an initial UV transmittance (T 275 ), (T 314 ), (T 350 ) is 0.3% or less, and the UV transmittance (T 275 ), (T 314 ), (T 350 ) was 0.3% or less, and the initial weather resistance and long-term weather resistance were excellent. In all of the thermoplastic resin films obtained in these Examples, the amount of ultraviolet absorber in the acrylic resin composition layer was appropriate, and no coloring was observed during melt molding, resulting in thermoplastic resin films with good appearance.

[0236] In Comparative Example EC1, a thermoplastic resin film was obtained comprising an acrylic resin composition layer made of a comparative acrylic resin composition (ARC) containing only a second triazine-based ultraviolet absorber (TAY) as the ultraviolet absorber (UVA). The thermoplastic resin film obtained in this comparative example had a UV transmittance (T 314 ) exceeded 0.3%, and the long-term weather resistance was poor.

[0237] In Comparative Examples EC2 and EC3, a thermoplastic resin film was obtained comprising an acrylic resin composition layer made of a comparative acrylic resin composition (ARC) in which a second triazine-based ultraviolet absorber (TAY) and a benzotriazole-based ultraviolet absorber (BT) were used in combination as ultraviolet absorbers (UVA). The thermoplastic resin film obtained in Comparative Example EC2 had a UV transmittance (T 314 ) is more than 0.3%, and the rate of change in UV transmittance after accelerated weathering test (ΔT 314 ) was 99% or more, and the long-term weather resistance was poor. The thermoplastic resin film obtained in Comparative Example EC3 exhibited a change in UV transmittance (ΔT 314 ) was 99% or more, and the long-term weather resistance was poor. In addition, the thermoplastic resin film obtained in Comparative Example EC3 had a large amount of ultraviolet absorber in the acrylic resin composition layer, and coloring was observed during melt molding, and a thermoplastic resin film with good appearance was not obtained.

[0238] In Comparative Example EC4, a thermoplastic resin film was obtained comprising an acrylic resin composition layer made of a comparative acrylic resin composition (ARC) containing only a first triazine-based ultraviolet absorber (TAX) as the ultraviolet absorber (UVA). The thermoplastic resin film obtained in this comparative example had an initial UV transmittance (T 275 ) was more than 0.3%, and the initial weather resistance was poor.
