Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an adhesive film for surface protection films and an optical member including the same. [Background technology]
[0002] The use, storage and manufacturing environments of optical display devices are becoming harsher. Also, interest in new optical display devices such as wearable devices and foldable devices is growing. Accordingly, various physical properties are required for adhesive protective films that protect panels of optical display devices. In particular, as panels of optical display devices are becoming thinner and more flexible, there is a demand for the development of adhesive protective films that cause less damage to the panel when the adhesive protective film is removed and that undergo little change in physical properties even under harsh conditions.
[0003] For this reason, acrylate-based or urethane acrylate-based adhesive protective films have been developed. However, acrylate-based or urethane acrylate-based adhesive protective films have limitations in that when the adhesive protective film is attached to an adherend and then left for a long period of time, the peeling force against the adherend increases excessively, which may cause damage and / or deformation of the adherend when peeled from the adherend, and the adhesive protective film is difficult to remove from the adherend, which may reduce processability.
[0004] The background art of the present invention is disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 2012-0050136 and the like. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0030] [Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention] Hereinafter, each embodiment of the present invention will be described in more detail. However, the technology disclosed in the present application is not limited to each embodiment described herein, and may be embodied in other forms. However, each embodiment introduced herein is provided so that the disclosed content may be thorough and complete, and to fully convey the idea of the present application to those skilled in the art.
[0031] In this specification, the "modulus" of the adhesive film means the tensile modulus measured at 25°C.
[0032] In this specification, the "adherend" may include, but is not limited to, a glass plate, a plastic plate, a display panel, or the like.
[0033] In this specification, when describing a numerical range, "X to Y" means X or more and Y or less (X≦and≦Y).
[0034] The adhesive film for surface protection films of the present invention (hereinafter referred to as "adhesive film") temporarily protects the adherend while adhering to the adherend, and when removed from the adherend, can be removed without causing deformation and / or damage to the adherend. Since the adhesive film of the present invention has a low rate of increase in peel force after adhering to the adherend, it can be removed from the adherend without causing deformation and / or damage to the adherend even after adhering to the adherend for a long period of time.
[0035] The adhesive film of the present invention has good wetting properties when adhered to an adherend, so it can adhere well to the adherend without the generation of air bubbles and / or lifting, and after adhering to the adherend, it has good shatter-proof properties when cut, improving cuttability and processability.
[0036] The pressure-sensitive adhesive film of the present invention has low haze, which facilitates inspection of panels for foreign matter after adhesion to an adherend, and provides excellent processability.
[0037] An adhesive film according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described.
[0038] The adhesive film has a modulus of 0.05 MPa to 0.8 MPa at 25° C. In this range, the adhesive film has good wetting ability, so that it can adhere to an adherend without generating bubbles and / or lifting, and has good shatter resistance, so that it can have excellent cuttability and processability. Specifically, the adhesive film may have a modulus of 0.05 MPa, 0.1 MPa, 0.15 MPa, 0.2 MPa, 0.25 MPa, 0.3 MPa, 0.35 MPa, 0.4 MPa, 0.45 MPa, 0.5 MPa, 0.55 MPa, 0.6 MPa, 0.65 MPa, 0.7 MPa, 0.75 MPa, 0.8 MPa, specifically 0.1 MPa to 0.8 MPa, more specifically 0.5 MPa to 0.8 MPa. The "shatter-resistant" property means that no particles are generated when a laminate of an adhesive film and an adherend is scratched using a pencil hardness tester according to the JIS K5400 method under the following conditions: a load of 1 kg when a SUS pen presses on the adhesive protective film, an angle of 45° between the adhesive protective film surface and the SUS pen, a speed of 48 mm / min at which the SUS pen scratches the adhesive protective film, and a diameter of 1 mm when the SUS pen scratches the adhesive protective film.
[0039] The adhesive film has an initial peel strength of 1 gf / inch to 12 gf / inch, and the increase rate of the peel strength according to the following formula 1 is 180% or less:
[0040]
number
[0041] (In the above formula 1, P1 is the initial peel strength of the adhesive film (unit: gf / inch), P2 is the peel strength (unit: gf / inch) of the adhesive film after leaving the adhesive film at 50°C for 3 days and then at 25°C for 30 minutes. The "initial peel strength" means the peel strength measured before the adhesive film is left at 50°C for 3 days. Within this range of initial peel strength, the adhesive film is not easily separated from the adherend after adhering to the adherend, and therefore has a protective effect on the adherend, and the increase rate of the peel strength in Equation 1 may not be high. Within this range of increase rate of peel strength, even after the adhesive film is adhered to the adherend and left for a long period of time, damage and / or deformation of the adherend does not occur when the adhesive film is removed from the adherend, and process stability may be excellent.
[0042] Specifically, the initial peel force P1 may be, for example, 1 gf / inch, 1.5 gf / inch, 2 gf / inch, 2.5 gf / inch, 3 gf / inch, 3.5 gf / inch, 4 gf / inch, 4.5 gf / inch, 5 gf / inch, 5.5 gf / inch, 6 gf / inch, 6.5 gf / inch, 7 gf / inch, 7.5 gf / inch, 8 gf / inch, 8.5 gf / inch, 9 gf / inch, 9.5 gf / inch, 10 gf / inch, 10.5 gf / inch, 11 gf / inch, 11.5 gf / inch, 12 gf / inch, 1 gf / inch to 5 gf / inch, 2 gf / inch to 5 gf / inch, and more specifically, 2 gf / inch to 4.5 gf / inch. Specifically, the rate of increase in the peel force of Equation 1 may be, for example, 1%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%, 110%, 120%, 130%, 140%, 150%, 160%, 170%, 180%, 1% to 180%, or more specifically, 5% to 176%, 10% to 170%, 20% to 160%, 50% to 160%, 60% to 150%.
[0043] In one specific example, the adhesive film has a peel strength P2 after being left at 50°C for 3 days and then left at 25°C for 30 minutes that is equal to or greater than P1 and is 12 gf / inch or less, for example, 1 gf / inch, 1.5 gf / inch, 2 gf / inch, 2.5 gf / inch, 3 gf / inch, 3.5 gf / inch, 4 gf / inch, 4.5 gf / inch, 5 gf / inch, 5.5 gf / inch, 6 gf / inch, 6.5 gf / inch, 7 gf / inch, 7.5 gf / inch h, 8 gf / inch, 8.5 gf / inch, 9 gf / inch, 9.5 gf / inch, 10 gf / inch, 10.5 gf / inch, 11 gf / inch, 11.5 gf / inch, 12 gf / inch, 1 gf / inch to 12 gf / inch, 1 gf / inch to 9 gf / inch, 1 gf / inch to 8 gf / inch, 1 gf / inch to 7 gf / inch, 1 gf / inch to 6 gf / inch, 1 gf / inch to 5 gf / inch. Within the above range, the PSA film may have the effect of being removed without causing damage or deformation to the adherend even when peeled off after being left on the adherend for a long period of time.
[0044] The adhesive film may have a haze of 5% or less in the visible light region, specifically 0% to 2%, or 0% to 1%. In this range, the panel can be easily inspected for foreign matter after being adhered to the adherend, which may result in excellent processability.
[0045] The adhesive film may have a thickness of about 100 μm or less, for example, more than about 0 μm and not more than 75 μm. In this range, the adhesive film protects the adherend when adhered to the adherend, and can be easily peeled off from the adherend.
[0046] In order to provide a PSA film having the above-mentioned initial peel strength, rate of increase in peel strength, modulus and haze, the PSA film has a nitrogen (N) atom content of 0.5 to 1.50 wt % of the total atoms. Within this nitrogen (N) content range, the PSA film can satisfy all of the above-mentioned initial peel strength, rate of increase in peel strength, modulus and haze. For example, the adhesive film may have a nitrogen (N) atom content of 0.50 wt%, 0.55 wt%, 0.60 wt%, 0.65 wt%, 0.70 wt%, 0.75 wt%, 0.80 wt%, 0.85 wt%, 0.90 wt%, 0.95 wt%, 1.00 wt%, 1.05 wt%, 1.10 wt%, 1.15 wt%, 1.20 wt%, 1.25 wt%, 1.30 wt%, 1.35 wt%, 1.40 wt%, 1.45 wt%, or 1.50 wt%.
[0047] As will be described in detail below, the adhesive film is formed from a composition for adhesive film including a urethane-based binder and an isocyanate-based curing agent. The urethane-based binder contains a urethane bond having nitrogen (N) and a hydroxyl group (-OH), and the hydroxyl group reacts with the isocyanate-based curing agent. The isocyanate-based curing agent contains an isocyanate group (-NCO) having nitrogen (N). When the urethane-based binder is cured by the isocyanate-based curing agent, and the OH group of the urethane-based binder reacts with the NCO group of the isocyanate-based curing agent, a -NH(C=O)-O group is formed, so the nitrogen content does not change. Ultimately, the nitrogen (N) in the adhesive film originates from both the urethane-based binder and the isocyanate-based curing agent. In the present invention, the nitrogen (N) atom content in the total atoms in the PSA film is 0.5 wt% to 1.50 wt%, thereby simultaneously satisfying the above-mentioned initial peel force, peel force increase rate, modulus, and haze. In one embodiment, the nitrogen (N) atom content in the PSA film may be more than 0.6 wt% and 1.27 wt% or less. Preferably, the nitrogen (N) atom content in the total atoms in the PSA film may be 0.6 wt% to 1.27 wt%.
[0048] The "nitrogen content" in the adhesive film can be obtained by burning 2 mg of the adhesive film at 900° C. and subjecting the sample to elemental analysis using a gas chromatographic column.
[0049] In one specific example, nitrogen (N) may be present only in the urethane-based binder and the isocyanate-based curing agent, and nitrogen (N) may not be present in the remaining components of the adhesive film other than the urethane-based binder and the isocyanate-based curing agent.
[0050] The nitrogen (N) content in the PSA film can be achieved by controlling the type and / or content of each of the urethane binder and isocyanate curing agent contained in the PSA film composition. In one embodiment, the present invention can achieve the above-mentioned nitrogen (N) content in the PSA film by controlling the molar ratio [NCO] / [OH] in the composition to 0.7 to 1.2.
[0051] The "molar ratio [NCO] / [OH]" in the composition is the ratio of the total number of moles of isocyanate groups [NCO] of the isocyanate curing agent to the total number of moles of hydroxyl groups [OH] of the urethane binder in the composition. Preferably, the molar ratio [NCO] / [OH] may be 0.7, 0.74, 0.75, 0.8, 0.85, 0.9, 0.95, 1.0, 1.05, 1.1, 1.15, 1.2, specifically 0.7 or more and less than 1.15, more preferably 0.7 or more and 1.11 or less, and even more preferably 0.74 or more and 1.0 or less.
[0052] Hereinafter, a composition for a pressure-sensitive adhesive film according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.
[0053] The composition for the pressure-sensitive adhesive film contains a urethane-based binder and an isocyanate-based curing agent.

The term "hyperbranched" refers to a polymer having many terminal functional groups and a dendritic branched structure.
[0061] The polyether polyol may have a number average molecular weight of 400 to 10,000, for example, 400, 1,000, 2,000, 3,000, 4,000, 5,000, 6,000, 7,000, 8,000, 9,000, 10,000, specifically 1,000 to 7,000.

[0095] Manufacturing Example 1: Manufacturing of urethane binder The polyether polyol was added to a 1000 mL jacket reactor in the weights shown in Table 1 below, and then mixed under nitrogen purging. Toluene was then added to the resulting mixture, which was stirred for 10 minutes and heated to 85°C for 30 minutes under nitrogen purging to remove residual moisture. The internal temperature of the reactor was then lowered to 60°C, and hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) was added in the weights shown in Table 1 below. This was further stirred at 60°C for 10 minutes, and then the polymerization catalyst dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL) was added. After 1 hour, the internal temperature of the reactor was raised to 70°C, and then raised again to 80°C after 1 hour, and polymerization reaction was carried out at 80°C for 2 hours. The binder solution obtained from the result was then diluted with toluene to prepare a solution with a solid content of 65% by weight, which was then cooled to room temperature to obtain a solid content. The solid content contains a hyperbranched urethane binder having multiple hydroxyl groups (-OH).

[0102] The prepared adhesive film composition was applied to the upper surface of a base film (PET film, thickness: 75 μm) in a predetermined thickness using an applicator and dried for 4 minutes at 130° C. Then, the obtained coating layer was covered with a release film (PET film, thickness: 25 μm, antistatic coating layer was formed) and aged at 50° C. for 2 days to prepare an adhesive sheet laminated in the order of base film-adhesive film for surface protection film (thickness: 75 μm)-release film.

The composition of Comparative Example 8 does not contain a urethane-based binder.
[0108] The adhesive film compositions for surface protective films and / or adhesive films for surface protective films prepared in the Examples and Comparative Examples were evaluated for the following physical properties, and the results are shown in Table 3 below.
[0109] (1) [NCO] / [OH]: The ratio of the total number of moles of the isocyanate group [NCO] of the isocyanate curing agent to the total number of moles of the hydroxyl group [OH] of the urethane binder in the adhesive film composition produced in the examples and comparative examples was calculated. The number of moles of [OH] was calculated using the [OH] moles functional group number calculation method. The number of moles of [NCO] was calculated using the [NCO] moles functional group number calculation method.
[0110] (2) Initial peel strength (P1) (unit: gf / inch): The adhesive sheets produced in the examples and comparative examples were cut to width x length (25 mm x 200 mm), and the release PET film was removed to expose the adhesive film in the adhesive sheet. A glass plate, which was the adherend, was placed on the surface of the exposed adhesive film, and pressure was applied with a 2 kg roller to produce a test specimen laminated in the order of glass plate - adhesive film - base film.
[0111] Thirty minutes after the preparation of the test specimen, the peel strength was measured by using a TA (Texture analyzer), which is a peel strength measuring device, when the PSA film was peeled off from the glass plate at a peel speed of 2400 mm / min, a peel angle of 180°, and a peel temperature of 25° C. The peel strength was measured three times and then averaged.
[0112] (3) Peel strength (P2) after 3 days at 50°C (unit: gf / inch): A test specimen was prepared by laminating a glass plate, adhesive film and base film in this order in the same manner as in (2).
[0113] The prepared test piece was placed in an oven at 50° C. for 3 days. After that, the test piece was removed from the oven and placed at 25° C. for 30 minutes. After that, the peel force was measured in the same manner as in (2).
[0114] (4) Increase rate of peel force (unit: %): Using the peel forces obtained in (2) and (3), the increase rate of peel force was calculated using Equation 1.
[0115] (5) Haze (unit: %): After the base film and release film were peeled off from the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheets of the examples and comparative examples to obtain pressure-sensitive adhesive films, test pieces were produced by adhering the pressure-sensitive adhesive films to glass plates. The haze of the produced test pieces was measured in the visible light range using a haze measuring device, NDH-9000. If the haze was 2% or less, it was evaluated as "○", if it was more than 2% and less than 3%, it was evaluated as "△", and if it was more than 3%, it was evaluated as "X".
[0116] (6) Modulus (unit: MPa): A composition for adhesive film of the Examples and Comparative Examples was coated to a predetermined thickness on one side of a fluorine-treated film (Dongwon Intech, FL-75BML), and a PET film was laminated on the coating layer, and then the laminate was dried at 130° C. for 4 minutes and aged at 50° C. for 2 days to prepare a laminate in which an adhesive protective film of 75 μm in thickness was laminated between the fluorine-treated film and the PET film. The laminate was cut into the shape of a dog bone as shown in FIG. 1, and the fluorine-treated film and the PET film were removed to prepare a test piece for modulus measurement.
[0117] Referring to FIG. 1, the test specimen had a dogbone shape with an overall length of 40 mm, an overall width of 15 mm, and a thickness of 75 μm.
[0118] The modulus was measured using a modulus measuring device (Instron) for the manufactured modulus measuring test piece. Specifically, the left end of the dog bone in FIG. 1 was connected to the first jig of the modulus measuring device, and the right end was connected to the second jig of the modulus measuring device. At this time, the part of the left end connected to the first jig and the part of the right end connected to the second jig were made to have the same area. Then, with the first jig fixed, the second jig was pulled at a load cell of 1 kN, a pulling speed of 50 mm / min, and 25° C., and the value at which the part of the dog bone in FIG. 1 marked as 15 mm wide and 5 mm thick broke was obtained as the modulus.
[0119] (7) Nitrogen (N) content (unit: weight %): The base film and release film were all removed from the adhesive sheets manufactured in the examples and comparative examples, and 2 mg of adhesive film was taken from them. 2 mg of adhesive film was placed in a gas chromatograph and burned at 900°C for several seconds, and then quantitative elemental analysis was performed by gas chromatograph to obtain the ratio of nitrogen (N) atom content in the total atoms of the adhesive film.
[0120] [Table 2]
[0121] [Table 3]
[0122] As shown in Table 3, the pressure-sensitive adhesive film for surface protection film of the present invention satisfied all of the initial peel strength and the increase rate of peel strength in Equation 1 of the present invention. As a result, the pressure-sensitive adhesive film of the present invention simultaneously provided a temporary protective effect for the adherend and an effect of being removed from the adherend without deformation and / or damage to the adherend. Thus, although not shown in Table 3, the pressure-sensitive adhesive film of the present invention provides a protective effect for the adherend by being laminated on the adherend, and can be removed without deformation and / or damage to the adherend when peeled off from the adherend after adhering to the adherend for a long period of time.
[0123] In addition, the adhesive film for surface protection film of the present invention satisfied all of the ranges of the modulus at 25°C and the nitrogen atom content in the total atoms of the adhesive film of the present invention. Therefore, although not shown in Table 3, it can provide good wetting properties, shatterproof properties, cuttability and processability.
[0124] Furthermore, the pressure-sensitive adhesive film for surface protection films of the present invention had low haze and was therefore excellent in cuttability and processability.
[0125] On the other hand, the pressure-sensitive adhesive films of the comparative examples cannot provide all of the above-mentioned effects of the pressure-sensitive adhesive film of the present invention.
[0126] Simple modifications and variations of the present invention can be easily implemented by those having ordinary skill in the art, and all such modifications and variations can be considered to be included within the scope of the present invention.
