[0045] [Method for producing pellets of polypropylene resin composition and film thereof] Those skilled in the art may prepare pellets of the polypropylene resin composition and then prepare a film of the polypropylene resin composition from the pellets. Those skilled in the art may also prepare a film directly from the polypropylene resin composition in a molten state without preparing pellets of the polypropylene resin composition. One skilled in the art may incorporate additives into polypropylene powder to create a film.

[0046] A person skilled in the art can prepare pellets of the polypropylene resin composition (X) of the present disclosure by mixing and homogenizing the polypropylene resin (A), the propylene-based copolymer (B), the high-density polyethylene (C), the low-density polyethylene (D) and other necessary components in a mixing device, and subsequently melt-kneading the mixture in a kneader at a temperature range of 190 to 260°C.

[0047] Those skilled in the art may feed a mixture of pellets of polypropylene resin (A), propylene-based copolymer (B), high-density polyethylene (C), low-density polyethylene (D) and other necessary components into a main hopper, melt the mixture, and feed the mixture to a film extrusion machine to make a film.

[0050] [Film forming method] Those skilled in the art can prepare a film of the polypropylene resin composition (X) of the present disclosure by known melt extrusion film formation methods. The film can be produced by a T-die casting method for unstretched films, a uniaxially stretched film or a biaxially stretched film that is hot-stretched after casting, or an inflation method that cools the film in water or in the air. For the sake of productivity, and because it has high haze, high uniformity, no appearance defects, and high heat resistance in the heat-sealed parts and other parts, biaxial stretching is preferred as the method for producing the film.

[0051] The film may be a single layer or a multilayer. For productivity, and because it has high haze, high uniformity, no appearance defects, and high heat resistance in the heat-sealed portion and other portions, the film is preferably a multilayer.

[0052] In the multilayer film of the present disclosure, layers other than the polypropylene resin composition may be composed of a propylene-ethylene block copolymer, a propylene homopolymer, a propylene-ethylene random copolymer, a propylene-ethylene-1-butene random copolymer, a styrene-based elastomer, or a mixture thereof.

[0053] By using the polypropylene resin composition of the present invention described above, the film of the present disclosure can provide a film having a rough surface due to the presence of irregular asperities and having an excellent matte feel due to high haze. Specifically, the multilayer film of the present invention is obtained by melt extrusion of the polypropylene resin composition of the present invention described above, and has a total haze of 70% or more at a thickness of 20 μm, and the number of fish eyes, which are appearance defects caused by polymer gels, on the long side of the film is 1 m or less. 2 It is preferable that the number of the particles is 5 or less per layer. The multilayer film of the present invention is preferably obtained by melt extrusion film formation using the polypropylene resin composition of the present invention described above in at least one layer. For productivity, and for achieving high haze, high homogeneity, no appearance defects, and high heat resistance in the heat-sealed portion and other portions, the thickness of the film is preferably 5 to 200 μm, more preferably 10 to 100 μm.

[0054] To improve processability, the surface of the film of the present disclosure may be subjected to a discharge treatment such as corona and / or plasma, a flame treatment, or an ozone treatment. EXAMPLES

[0055] The present invention is not limited to the examples only. [Method of measuring physical properties] The physical properties and analytical values ​​of each item in the detailed description of the present invention and the examples were measured according to the following methods.

[0056] (1) Melting point (unit: °C) Using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), the temperature was first raised to 200°C to erase the thermal history, then the temperature was lowered to 40°C at a rate of 10°C / min, and then measured again at a rate of 10°C / min. The temperature at the top of the endothermic peak was taken as the melting point.

[0057] (2) MFR (unit: g / 10 min) The MFR of polypropylene resin was measured under the following conditions in accordance with JIS K7210:1999, Annex A, Table 1, Condition M. Test temperature: 230℃ Nominal load: 2.16kg Die shape: diameter 2.095mm, length 8.000mm The MFR of polyethylene was measured under the following conditions in accordance with JIS K7210:1999, Annex A, Table 1, Condition D. Test temperature: 190℃ Nominal load: 2.16kg Die shape: diameter 2.095mm, length 8.000mm

[0058] (3) Film haze (unit: %) After the film was left to stand for 24 hours or more under an atmosphere of 23°C and 50% RH, the haze was measured at 4 points per example according to JIS-K7136, and the average of these measurements was taken as the "total haze (%)." The higher the obtained value, the more opaque it was, and a value of 70% or more indicated excellent matte feel.

[0059] (4)Homogeneity The film was visually evaluated for unevenness in the matte finish. Good: No unevenness in the matte finish is observed. ×: Unevenness in the matte finish is observed. When the rating was ◯, the film was evaluated to have high uniformity.

[0060] (5) Heat resistance of heat-sealed parts The heat resistance of the heat-sealed portion was evaluated as follows. Equipment: Tester Sangyo Co., Ltd. "TP-701-B HEAT SEAL TESTER" Sealing temperature: 140℃ Sealing pressure: 1.0kg / cm 2 (0.10MPa) Sealing time: 1 second Seal bar: 1cm x 20cm Two sheets of the films described in the Examples and Comparative Examples were stacked and inserted into a seal bar, and the seal was made under the above-mentioned conditions, and the change in the matte feel of the sealed portion was visually evaluated. ◯: No difference in matte feel was observed when compared with areas other than the heat sealed area. ×: A difference in matte feel was observed in comparison with the portion other than the heat sealed portion. In the case of ◯, the film was judged to have high heat resistance.

[0061] (7) Fisheyes on film (unit: pieces / m 2 ) The number of fisheyes with a long side of 0.2 mm or more was visually counted for five rectangular films with a thickness of 20 μm and dimensions of MD 300 mm × TD 400 mm. Here, MD is the distance parallel to the flow direction during film extrusion molding, and TD is the distance perpendicular to said direction. Area 1 m 2 The number of winning fish eyes was counted. The more fisheyes there are, the worse the appearance is.

[0062] (8) Surface roughness of the film After conditioning the film for 24 hours or more in an atmosphere of 23°C and 50% RH, the center plane average value (hereinafter referred to as "Ra") at a cutoff of 0.25 mm was measured for the contact surface with the cooling roll immediately after the die during film forming in accordance with JIS B-0601.

[0067] Examples 1 to 9 and Comparative Examples 2 to 7 [Pelletization of polypropylene resin composition (X)] The pellets of the polypropylene resin (A), propylene-based copolymer (B), high-density polyethylene (C), and low-density polyethylene (D) described above are mixed and homogenized in a tumbler in the ratios shown in Table 1, and then melt-kneaded at 230°C in a twin-screw extruder having a diameter of 35 mm to obtain pellets of polypropylene resin composition (X). The kneading machine used here was a 35 mm diameter co-rotating twin screw kneader manufactured by Toshiba Machine Co., Ltd., with a screw rotation speed of 250 rpm and a feeder rotation speed of 50 rpm.

[0068] [Forming method for biaxially oriented polypropylene film] The resin temperatures of both were 240°C, and the polypropylene resin composition (X) was melt extruded to form the first and third layers, and A-2 (Novatec (registered trademark) PP FL203D (propylene-based polymer, MFR 3.0 g / 10 min, melting point 162°C) manufactured by Japan Polypropylene Corporation) was melt extruded to form the middle layer, and then quenched with a cooling roll at 30°C to produce a two-kind, three-layer raw sheet. The sheet was stretched in a longitudinal direction by a stretching machine with the roll temperature adjusted to 110° C. to obtain a biaxially stretched film. Therefore, the layer of the biaxially stretched film is necessarily the polypropylene resin composition (X).

[0069] The longitudinal stretching machine and the transverse stretching machine are as follows. Biaxially stretched film forming machine (stenter): Manufactured by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Extrusion conditions: Extrusion temperature: 240°C, die width: 300mm, lip opening: 2.0mm Stretching conditions: cooling roll temperature: 30°C, cooling roll speed: 3 m / min, longitudinal (MD) stretching ratio: 5 times, Transverse (TD) stretch ratio: 8 times, take-off speed: 15 m / min Film thickness: 20 μm. However, the thickness of the first layer made of polypropylene resin composition (X) and the third layer made of polypropylene resin composition (X) is 3 μm. The physical properties of the obtained biaxially stretched film are shown in Table 2.

[0070] [Table 1]

[0071] [Consideration of the results of the Examples and Comparative Examples] From Examples 1 to 9 in Table 1, it can be seen that the film having a layer of polypropylene resin composition (X) is a biaxially stretched polypropylene film and has all the following characteristics: (1) it has a matte finish, i.e., it has high haze; (2) the matte finish is even, i.e., it has high homogeneity; (3) it has no fisheyes, i.e., it has no appearance defects; and (4) the heat resistance of the heat-sealed parts and other parts is high. None of the films of Comparative Examples 2 to 7 satisfied all of the characteristics (1) to (4).
