Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to stretched films and the like. [Background technology]
[0002] Polyolefin films, such as polyethylene and polypropylene films, are widely used as industrial material films, including for packaging, due to their excellent lightweight properties, thermal stability, and mechanical characteristics. In recent years, polyolefin films have become increasingly valuable due to their superior release properties, and are widely used as protective materials and release agents in the manufacturing processes of electronic components and circuit boards, as well as in thermosetting resin components such as fiber-reinforced plastics.
[0003] When used as a protective film, thermal lamination is sometimes performed to obtain a laminate with other layers. However, curling occurs during thermal lamination, which reduces handling in subsequent processes and lowers production efficiency. Patent document 1 proposes a polyethylene film formed by an inflation method that reduces fisheye as a cover film for dry film resists, but this film is prone to curling.
[0004] Furthermore, when used as a protective film for an adhesive resin layer, problems can arise such as zipping (stick-slip) occurring when peeling off the protective film at operating speed, resulting in horizontal stripes on the adhesive surface, or the protective film lifting due to poor adhesion.

[0036] Among polyethylene resins, low-density polyethylene or high-density polyethylene is preferred, and linear low-density polyethylene, so-called LLDPE, is preferred.
[0037] The weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of polyethylene resin is preferably between 200,000 and 400,000, and more preferably between 210,000 and 300,000, from the viewpoint of thickness uniformity, mechanical properties, and thermal-mechanical properties.
[0038] The number-average molecular weight (Mn) of the polyethylene resin is preferably 80,000 or less, and more preferably between 10,000 and 70,000, from the viewpoint of suppressing the elastic modulus after stretching and obtaining a flexible film.
[0039] The molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn) of polyethylene resin, calculated as the ratio of weight-average molecular weight (Mw) to number-average molecular weight (Mn), is preferably 3 to 13, and more preferably 3.3 to 12, from the viewpoint of obtaining appropriate resin fluidity during biaxial stretching and efficiently obtaining a film without breakage.

The MFR of the polyethylene resin is a value measured according to the method of (2-2) in the example described below. The density of the polyethylene resin is a value measured according to the method of (2-3) in the example described below.
[0044] The stretched film of the present invention may contain other resins besides the polyethylene resin, as long as the effects of the present invention are not hindered. Examples of other resins include polyolefin resins other than polyethylene resin. Polyolefin resins can broadly include polyolefin resins used for manufacturing films. For example, a polymer obtained by polymerizing an olefin compound can be used as a polyolefin resin. Such olefin compounds preferably have 2 to 20 carbon atoms, more preferably 2 to 10 carbon atoms, and even more preferably 3 to 6 carbon atoms. Specific examples of polyolefin resins include polypropylene resin, poly(1-butene) resin, polyisobutene resin, poly(1-pentene) resin, poly(4-methylpentene-1) resin, etc. Furthermore, the polyolefin resin may be a copolymer containing two or more structural units derived from different olefin compounds, such as an ethylene-propylene copolymer.

[0045] The stretched film of the present invention may contain other components besides the resin, as long as the effects of the present invention are not hindered. Examples of other components include additives contained in known resin films, such as antioxidants, heat stabilizers, light stabilizers, ultraviolet absorbers, plasticizers, lubricants, crosslinking agents, flame retardants, antistatic agents, heat resistance improvers, blocking inhibitors, inorganic particles, resin particles, chlorine scavenging agents, antifogging agents, hydrolysis inhibitors, and the like. Each of these components may be used individually or in combination as needed. When the stretched film of the present invention contains the above-mentioned other components, their content is 10% by mass or less, preferably 5% by mass or less, more preferably 1% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 0.5% by mass or less, based on the total mass of the stretched film of the present invention.
[0046] The stretched film of the present invention is a stretched film that is stretched in at least one axial direction, either in the longitudinal direction (MD direction) or the TD direction (width direction). The stretched film of the present invention may also be a biaxially oriented film that is stretched in two axial directions. When the stretched film of the present invention is a biaxially oriented film, it is preferable that it is a biaxially oriented film that is stretched in two axial directions, either in the longitudinal direction or the width direction. The stretched film of the present invention is particularly preferable to be a sequentially biaxially oriented film from the viewpoint of stably achieving uniform thickness and easily adjusting the mechanical strength of the film.
[0047] The stretched film of the present invention can have a single-layer structure or a multilayer structure (for example, 2 to 7 layers, 2 to 5 layers, 2 to 3 layers, or 3 layers). A multilayer structure is preferable for the stretched film of the present invention. If the stretched film of the present invention has a multilayer structure, at least one layer (for example, 2 to 6 layers, 2 to 4 layers, or 2 layers, preferably all layers) contains the aforementioned polyethylene resin (preferably as the main component). When polyethylene resin is contained in multiple layers, the polyethylene resin contained in each layer may be the same as those in each layer, or at least one or all of them may be different.
[0048] The thickness of the stretched film of the present invention is not particularly limited and can be set to any desired thickness depending on the intended application. From the viewpoint of avoiding film breakage and obtaining a stable and uniform thickness, the lower limit of the thickness is preferably 2 μm or more, more preferably 5 μm or more, even more preferably 10 μm or more, and even more preferably 15 μm or more. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of suppressing production costs and reducing the mechanical load of the film-forming process, the upper limit of the thickness is preferably 100 μm or less, more preferably 70 μm or less, even more preferably 50 μm or less, and even more preferably 30 μm or less. In the case where the stretched film of the present invention has the multilayer structure described above, the thickness of the stretched film of the present invention refers to the sum of the thicknesses of each layer.
[0049] 2. Manufacturing method The method for manufacturing the stretched film of the present invention is not particularly limited, and a wide range of methods similar to those used for known films can be employed. Specifically, for example, the stretched film of the present invention can be manufactured by a manufacturing method that includes the step of obtaining a cast sheet containing polyethylene resin and stretching the cast sheet in the MD direction and the TD direction. An example of such a method will be described in detail below.
[0050] Cast sheets, which are the stretching precursors, can be obtained using known methods. For example, polyethylene resin pellets, dry-mixed polyethylene resin pellets, or mixed polyethylene resin pellets prepared by pre-melting and kneading can be supplied to an extruder, heated and melted, foreign matter and modified polymers removed through a filter, then extruded into a sheet from a T-die, and cooled and solidified in at least one cooling drum to obtain a cast sheet.
[0051] Inside the extruder, polyethylene resin undergoes some degree of degradation due to thermal and oxidative stress. From the viewpoint of suppressing such polymer degradation, the resin temperature during melt extrusion should be between 170°C and 320°C, preferably between 200°C and 300°C. Furthermore, degradation can be suppressed by adjusting the nitrogen purging inside the extruder, the screw shape, the internal shape of the T-die during casting, and the amount of antioxidant added.
[0052] The temperature of the cooling drum is preferably between 20°C and 90°C, and more preferably maintained between 40°C and 80°C. Any method can be used to adhere the sheet resin to the cooling drum, such as the air knife method, touch roll method, electrostatic application method, or water-cooled casting method, but the air knife method is preferred because it is easy to adjust when adhering the sheet resin to the cooling drum and can be handled simply. When using an air knife, the temperature of the blown air (AK air temperature) is preferably between 10°C and 90°C, more preferably between 20°C and 80°C.
[0053] Cast sheets obtained by adjusting the cooling drum temperature and AK air temperature within the above range exhibit suppressed crystallization and reduced mechanical load during stretching. As a result, it is believed that the desired physical properties of the present invention can be easily obtained.
[0054] In one embodiment, the stretched film of the present invention can be obtained by stretching a cast sheet in two axes: longitudinal and transverse (MD and TD directions).
[0055] First, the cast sheet is heated to a temperature of 70°C to 130°C, preferably 80°C to 120°C. The method of heating the cast sheet is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to alternately heat both sides of the cast sheet using a group of four or more rolls arranged in the flow direction, and to heat both sides of the sheet simultaneously just before longitudinal stretching. By maintaining this temperature range, the cast sheet does not undergo excessive thermal expansion and can be stretched longitudinally as described later while maintaining its flatness.
[0056] A cast sheet is stretched longitudinally (MD stretching), and then immediately relaxed to obtain an MD stretched sheet. The stretching ratio in the longitudinal direction (MD ratio) is 3 times or more and 11 times or less, preferably 3.5 times or more and 9 times or less. The relaxation rate (MD relaxation rate) is preferably 0% or more and 12% or less, more preferably 5% or more and 11% or less, and even more preferably 6% or more and 10% or less.
[0057] The MD stretched sheet obtained by adjusting within the above range maintains its flatness and suppresses oriented crystallization, thus reducing the mechanical load during stretching in the width direction, as described later. The method of stretching and relaxing in the longitudinal direction is not particularly limited, but a method that utilizes the difference in peripheral speed of two or more roll groups arranged in the flow direction is preferred.
[0058] Next, the stretched sheet is guided to a tenter and stretched in the width-to-width direction (TD stretching). The temperature for stretching in the width-to-width direction (TD temperature) is preferably 150°C to 190°C, more preferably 155°C to 185°C, even more preferably 160°C to 180°C, and even more preferably 165°C to 180°C. The stretching ratio in the width-to-width direction (TD ratio) is 4 times to 13 times, preferably 5 times to 12 times, and even more preferably 6 times to 11 times.
[0059] By adjusting within the above range, stretching breakage caused by unstretched residue (remaining material) can be suppressed, and a stretched film of uniform thickness can be efficiently obtained.
[0060] Finally, the biaxially oriented film is relaxed in the width direction to obtain the stretched film of the present invention.
[0061] The lateral relaxation rate (TD relaxation rate) is 0% or more and less than 23%, preferably 5% or more and 20%, and more preferably 8% or more and 15%.
[0062] It is believed that the desired physical properties of the present invention can be easily obtained by adjusting within the above range. In particular, it is believed that the desired physical properties of the present invention can be easily obtained by adjusting the stretching temperature (especially the preheating temperature for TD stretching) within the above range, and further relaxing the material so that the relaxation rate is above a certain level after MD stretching and at least one of (preferably both) after TD stretching. More specifically, by stretching, orientation and crystallization can be adjusted, and the average coefficient of linear expansion can be adjusted. By setting a high preheating temperature for TD stretching, it is difficult for minute crystals to grow due to rapid heating, and large crystals can grow, thus adjusting the coefficient of linear expansion. By setting a high MD relaxation rate, the unoriented polymer chains are loosened by MD relaxation, making it easier for them to be oriented and crystallized during subsequent TD stretching. By setting a high TD relaxation rate, the stress in the TD direction is weakened, making it easier for stress to be applied in the MD direction, and thus strong orientation and crystallization can be achieved in the MD direction.
[0063] The film fed from the tenter is wound into a roll by a winding machine to obtain the stretched film of the present invention. Furthermore, the stretched film of the present invention can be surface-treated according to its application, as long as its properties are not impaired. Examples of surface treatments include corona discharge treatment, plasma treatment, and flame treatment.
[0064] 3.Applications The stretched film of the present invention can be applied to a variety of uses. In particular, the stretched film of the present invention is especially suitable as a protective film for electronic components. Furthermore, the stretched film of the present invention can also be used as a protective film, release film, and packaging film other than those mentioned above.
[0065] The stretched film of the present invention can be used as a protective film for dry film resists. The type of dry film resist is not particularly limited, and can be broadly applied to known dry film resists, for example. Such a protective film is provided to protect the adhesive layer of the dry film resist. In one embodiment, the dry film resist may be a film in which the stretched film of the present invention, a resist layer, and a base film (for example, a film containing polyethylene terephthalate (PET)) are laminated in that order.
[0066] The stretched film of the present invention can be used for various applications by arranging other layers on one or both of its surfaces as needed. For example, the stretched film of the present invention can be used as a protective film, release film, etc., by arranging a release layer containing a release agent (such as a silicone coating) on one or both of its surfaces as needed. As another example, the stretched film of the present invention can be used as a packaging film, etc., by arranging a coating layer (such as a gas barrier layer) on one or both of its surfaces as needed.

[0071] From the obtained calibration curve and SEC chromatogram, the number-average molecular weight (Mn), weight-average molecular weight (Mw), and Z-average molecular weight (Mz) were obtained using analysis software for the measurement device. The molecular weight distribution (Mw / Mn) was then obtained using these Mw and Mn values.
[0072] (2-2) Measurement of Melt Flow Rate (MFR) For each resin, the melt flow rate (MFR) in the form of raw resin pellets was measured using a melt indexer from Toyo Seiki Co., Ltd., in accordance with condition M of JIS K 7210. Specifically, first, a weighed 4g sample was inserted into a cylinder heated to the test temperature (190°C for PE, 230°C for PP), and preheated for 3.5 minutes under a load of 2.16kg. Then, the weight of the sample extruded from the bottom hole in 30 seconds was measured, and the MFR (g / 10min) was determined. The above measurement was repeated three times, and the average value was taken as the measured value of MFR.
[0073] (2-3) Measurement of density For each resin, the density in the form of raw resin pellets was measured in accordance with JIS K7112 using a density gradient tube type specific gravity measuring device (Type A) manufactured by Shibayama Scientific Instruments Co., Ltd. Specifically, ethanol / water was used as the gradient solution, and the measurement was taken at a temperature of 23°C approximately 24 hours after the gradient solution was added. The above measurement was repeated three times, and the average value was used as the density measurement value.
[0074] (3) Preparation of stretched film (Example 1) As shown in Table 2 below, a stretched film was manufactured in which surface layer A and surface layer B were arranged on both sides of the base layer. First, 100 parts by mass of PE1 (hereinafter referred to as pellet 1) was prepared as the resin for forming the base layer, and 100 parts by mass of PE1 (hereinafter referred to as pellet 2) was prepared as the resin for forming surface layer A and surface layer B. Pellet 1 was fed from a hopper into a single-screw type extruder a, and pellet 2 was fed from a hopper into a single-screw type extruder b, which was separate from extruder a. Pellet 1 and pellet 2 were melted at 260°C, and these were laminated in a three-layer configuration inside a three-layer multi-manifold die. Then, they were cooled and solidified while being pressed with air pressure using an air knife on a cooling drum. The temperature of the blown air was set to 25°C. As a result, a raw material sheet was obtained in which layers of PE2 derived from pellet 2 were directly formed on both sides of the PE-1 layer derived from pellet 1.
[0075] The obtained cast sheet was preheated to 100°C, stretched six times in the longitudinal direction (MD direction), then relaxed by 0% in the same direction, and immediately returned to room temperature. The stretched film was then guided to a tenter, held at both ends with clips, preheated to 155°C, stretched 7.8 times in the width-to-length direction (TD direction) in a stretching zone at 125°C, and then relaxed by 10% in the same direction to obtain a stretched film with a thickness of 20 μm. The obtained stretched film was a stretched film in which surface layer A, a base layer, and surface layer B were laminated in this order, with a thickness ratio of 1:2:1 (surface layer A: base layer: surface layer B). In such a stretched film, surface layer B was the layer that was in direct contact with the cooling drum, and surface layer A was the layer that was not in contact with the cooling drum.
[0076] The film thickness was measured using a micrometer (JIS-B7502) in accordance with JIS-C2330.

[0083] (Example 8) A stretched film was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the resin used to form the base layer was changed to PP1 and the preheating temperature during stretching in the TD direction was changed to 195°C.
[0084] (Comparative Example 1) PE4 pellets were fed from a hopper into a single-screw extruder and melted at a resin temperature of 200°C. After removing foreign matter and modified polymers through a filter installed in the polymer tube, the melted material was extruded using a ring die and wound onto a pinch roll. Air was then introduced into the ring, causing the resin to inflate into a balloon shape between the ring die and the pinch roll. The ends of the folded balloon, after passing through the pinch roll, were cut off, and each was wound onto a separate film to obtain a polyethylene film with a thickness of 20 μm.
[0085] (Comparative Example 2) A polyethylene film was obtained in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1, except that the resin fed into the extruder was PE5.
[0086] (Comparative Example 3) A stretched film was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that 0% relaxation was applied in the width direction.
[0087] (Comparative Example 4) A stretched film was obtained in the same manner as in Example 3, except that the preheating temperature before stretching in the width direction was set to 145°C.
