Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a surface protective film. [Background technology]
[0002] In the manufacturing process of optical and electronic components, a surface protection film is generally applied to the exposed surface of the optical or electronic component to prevent damage to its surface during processing, assembly, inspection, and transportation. Such a surface protection film is removed from the optical or electronic component when surface protection is no longer needed (Patent Document 1).
[0003] Optical and electronic components are generally expensive and easily damaged. Therefore, surface protective films applied to the exposed surfaces of optical and electronic components require excellent peelability to prevent damage to the components during removal.
[0004] Furthermore, surface protective films, optical components, and electronic components typically have high electrical insulation properties and generate static electricity through friction and peeling. Therefore, static electricity is easily generated when peeling surface protective films from optical components and electronic components. In such cases, for example, applying voltage to the liquid crystal while static electricity remains present could lead to loss of liquid crystal molecule orientation or panel defects. Additionally, the presence of static electricity can attract dust and reduce work efficiency.
[0005] To prevent static electricity, the substrate of surface protective films is subjected to antistatic treatment. For example, in a surface protective film having a release layer, a substrate film layer, and an acrylic adhesive layer in that order, it has been reported that an antistatic layer is formed between the release layer and the substrate film layer, or between the substrate film layer and the acrylic adhesive layer (Patent Document 2). In addition, a removable protective adhesive film has been reported that has an antistatic layer on one side of a transparent resin film, and a removable adhesive layer further on the antistatic layer (Patent Document 3).
[0006] However, the surface protection film described in Patent Document 2 does not possess sufficiently excellent antistatic properties required for surface protection films to be bonded to high-performance optical and electronic components, nor does it have sufficiently good peelability, leaving room for improvement. Similarly, the re-peelable protective adhesive film described in Patent Document 3 does not possess sufficiently excellent antistatic properties required for surface protection films to be bonded to high-performance optical and electronic components.
[0007] To prevent static electricity, a technology has been reported that imparts antistatic properties to the adhesive layer constituting the surface protective film itself. Specifically, a method has been employed in which an ionic compound, such as an alkali metal salt or ionic liquid that functions as an antistatic agent, is incorporated into the adhesive layer and transferred to the adherend (Patent Document 4). However, even with the surface protective film described in Patent Document 4, there is room for improvement in order to achieve sufficiently excellent antistatic properties. Furthermore, in the surface protective film described in Patent Document 4, the degree of antistatic properties largely depends on the amount of antistatic agent in the adhesive layer. Therefore, if the amount of antistatic agent is increased in order to obtain excellent antistatic properties, the adherend may become contaminated, and when another component is newly bonded to the adherend after the surface protective film has been peeled off, there is a risk of process defects such as peeling.

[0014] In this specification, the expression "(meth)acrylic" means "acrylic and / or methacrylic," the expression "(meth)acrylate" means "acrylate and / or methacrylate," the expression "(meth)allyl" means "allyl and / or methallyl," and the expression "(meth)acrolein" means "acrolein and / or metacrolein." A. Surface protective film The surface protection film according to an embodiment of the present invention has a base layer, an antistatic layer, and an adhesive layer in this order.
[0015] The surface protection film according to an embodiment of the present invention may include any other suitable components or layers, as long as they do not impair the effects of the present invention, provided that they have a base layer, an antistatic layer, and an adhesive layer in that order. Examples of such other components or layers include any other suitable components or layers, as long as they do not impair the effects of the present invention. Examples of such other components or layers include a release liner.
[0016] Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a surface protection film according to one embodiment of the present invention. In Figure 1, the surface protection film 10 comprises a base layer 1, an antistatic layer 2, and an adhesive layer 3. In the embodiment shown in Figure 1, the base layer 1, the antistatic layer 2, and the adhesive layer 3 are directly laminated together.
[0017] In Figure 1, the surface of the adhesive layer 3 opposite the antistatic layer 2 may be provided with an appropriate release liner (sometimes called a release sheet or separator) for protection until use (not shown). Examples of release liners include a release liner in which the surface of a substrate (liner substrate) such as paper or plastic film is treated with silicone, and a release liner in which the surface of a substrate (liner substrate) such as paper or plastic film is laminated with a polyolefin resin.
[0018] Examples of plastic films used as liner substrates include polyethylene film, polypropylene film, polybutene film, polybutadiene film, polymethylpentene film, polyvinyl chloride film, vinyl chloride copolymer film, polyethylene terephthalate film, polybutylene terephthalate film, polyurethane film, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer film.
[0019] The thickness of the release liner is preferably 1 μm to 500 μm, more preferably 3 μm to 450 μm, even more preferably 5 μm to 400 μm, and particularly preferably 10 μm to 300 μm.
[0020] The thickness of the surface protective film according to the embodiment of the present invention is preferably 5 μm to 500 μm, more preferably 10 μm to 450 μm, even more preferably 15 μm to 400 μm, and particularly preferably 20 μm to 300 μm.
[0021] The surface protection film according to the embodiment of the present invention has an adhesive layer side that is bonded to the surface of an acrylic plate, left at a temperature of 23°C for 30 minutes, and then peeled off at a peeling angle of 180 degrees and peeling speed of 300 mm / min at a temperature of 23°C. The peeling force A is preferably 3.0 gf / 25 mm or less, more preferably 2.5 gf / 25 mm or less, even more preferably 2.3 gf / 25 mm or less, even more preferably 2.0 gf / 25 mm or less, particularly preferably 1.8 gf / 25 mm or less, and most preferably 1.6 gf / 25 mm or less. If the above peeling force A is within the above range, the surface protection film according to the embodiment of the present invention can exhibit excellent easy peelability. In order to prevent unintended peeling during the manufacturing process, the lower limit of the above peeling force A is preferably 0.5 gf / 25 mm or more. The method for measuring the above peeling force A will be described later.
[0022] The surface protection film according to the embodiment of the present invention has an adhesive layer side that is bonded to the surface of an acrylic plate, left at a temperature of 50°C for one day, and then peeled off at a temperature of 23°C at a peeling angle of 180 degrees and a peeling speed of 300 mm / min. The peeling force B is preferably 10.0 gf / 25 mm or less, more preferably 8.0 gf / 25 mm or less, even more preferably 6.0 gf / 25 mm or less, even more preferably 5.5 gf / 25 mm or less, particularly preferably 5.0 gf / 25 mm or less, and most preferably 4.5 gf / 25 mm or less. If the above peeling force B is within the above range, the surface protection film according to the embodiment of the present invention can exhibit excellent easy peelability while also exhibiting stability of peeling force over time. In order to prevent unintended peeling during the manufacturing process, the lower limit of the above peeling force B is preferably 0.5 gf / 25 mm or more. The method for measuring the above peeling force B will be described later.
[0023] The surface protection film according to the embodiment of the present invention has a peel force increase rate over time from peel force A to peel force B (peel force increase rate over time (%) = (peel force B / peel force A) × 100 (%)) which is preferably 390% or less, more preferably 350% or less, even more preferably 330% or less, particularly preferably 310% or less, and most preferably 300% or less. The lower limit of the peel force increase rate over time is preferably as small as possible, and preferably 100% or more. If the peel force increase rate over time is within the above range, the surface protection film according to the embodiment of the present invention can exhibit greater stability of peel force over time.
[0024] The surface protection film according to the embodiment of the present invention has an adhesive layer side that is bonded to the surface of an acrylic plate, left at 23°C for 30 minutes, and then peeled off the acrylic plate surface. The residual sulfur content on the acrylic plate surface after this peeling is preferably less than 0.1 atomic%. The lower limit of the residual sulfur content is preferably as small as possible, and preferably 0 atomic% or more. If the residual sulfur content is within the above range, the surface protection film according to the embodiment of the present invention suppresses contamination of the adherend after bonding and peeling, and can suppress process defects such as peeling when bonding another component to the adherend. The residual sulfur content serves as an indicator of the extent to which the adhesive component of the surface protection film is transferred to and contaminates the adherend. A smaller residual sulfur content indicates a surface protection film that does not contaminate the adherend, while a larger residual sulfur content indicates a surface protection film that contaminates the adherend. The method for measuring the residual sulfur content will be described later.
[0025] The surface protection film according to an embodiment of the present invention is bonded to the surface of an acrylic plate with its adhesive layer side attached, left at 23°C for one day, then peeled off from the acrylic plate surface at a peeling angle of 180 degrees and a peeling speed of 300 mm / min. After that, an adhesive tape (19 mm wide, cut to a length of 150 mm, Nitto Denko Corporation's "No. 31B", with a base material thickness of 25 μm) is bonded to the surface of the acrylic plate, left at 23°C for 30 minutes, and then peeled off from the acrylic plate surface at 23°C at a peeling angle of 180 degrees and a peeling speed of 300 mm / min, and the adhesive strength is measured. Let C be the adhesive strength, and D be the adhesive strength when the adhesive tape is attached to the surface of an acrylic plate that has not undergone the above-mentioned peeling treatment, left at a temperature of 23°C for 30 minutes, and then peeled off at a peeling angle of 180 degrees and a peeling speed of 300 mm / min at a temperature of 23°C. Then, the residual adhesive strength against the acrylic plate (%) = (adhesive strength C / adhesive strength D) × 100 (%) is preferably 80% or more, more preferably 85% or more, even more preferably 90% or more, particularly preferably 92% or more, and most preferably 95% or more. The upper limit of the residual adhesive strength against the acrylic plate is preferably as high as possible, and preferably 100% or less. If the residual adhesive strength against the acrylic plate is within the above range, the surface protective film according to the embodiment of the present invention can suppress contamination of the adherend after it has been attached to and peeled off, and can suppress the occurrence of process defects such as peeling when another component is newly attached to the adherend. The above-mentioned residual tackiness to the acrylic sheet serves as an indicator of the extent to which the adhesive components of the surface protection film are transferred to and contaminate the surface of the adherend. A higher value for the residual tackiness to the acrylic sheet indicates that the adherend is not contaminated by the surface protection film, while a lower value indicates that the adherend is contaminated by the surface protection film. The method for measuring the residual tackiness to the acrylic sheet will be described later.
[0026] The surface protection film according to the embodiment of the present invention has a peel-off band voltage to the acrylic plate at a temperature of 23°C and a humidity of 50%RH, preferably 6.0kV or less, more preferably 4.0kV or less, even more preferably 3.0kV or less, even more preferably 2.5kV or less, particularly preferably 2.0kV or less, and most preferably 1.5kV or less. The lower limit of the peel-off band voltage to the acrylic plate is preferable as much as possible, but in reality, it is preferably 0.01kV or more. If the peel-off band voltage to the acrylic plate is within the above range, the surface protection film according to the embodiment of the present invention can exhibit excellent antistatic properties. The method for measuring the peel-off band voltage to the acrylic plate will be described later.
[0027] The surface protective film according to the embodiment of the present invention preferably has a surface resistance value of 1.0 × 10⁻¹ on the adhesive layer side at a temperature of 23°C and a humidity of 50% RH. 10 It is less than or equal to Ω, and more preferably 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. 9 It is less than or equal to Ω, and more preferably 5.0 × 10⁻⁶. 8 It is less than or equal to Ω, and particularly preferably 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. 8 It is less than or equal to Ω, and most preferably 8.0 × 10⁻⁶. 7 It is less than or equal to Ω. While a smaller lower limit for the surface resistance value is preferable, in practice, it is preferably 1.0 × 10⁻⁶. 4 The surface resistance is greater than or equal to Ω. If the above surface resistance value is within the above range, the surface protective film according to the embodiment of the present invention can exhibit excellent antistatic properties.

There may be only one type of crosslinking agent or two or more types. Preferred examples of such crosslinking agents include isocyanate-based crosslinking agents, epoxy-based crosslinking agents, melamine-based crosslinking agents, peroxide-based crosslinking agents, as well as urea-based crosslinking agents, metal alkoxide-based crosslinking agents, metal chelate-based crosslinking agents, metal salt-based crosslinking agents, carbodiimide-based crosslinking agents, oxazoline-based crosslinking agents, aziridine-based crosslinking agents, and amine-based crosslinking agents. Among these, melamine-based crosslinking agents are preferred.
[0056] The proportion of crosslinking agent in the conductive coating liquid is preferably 0.5 to 15 parts by weight, more preferably 1 to 12 parts by weight, even more preferably 2 to 9 parts by weight, and particularly preferably 3 to 7 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of binder resin, as a solid content ratio.
[0057] Examples of the solvent include organic solvents, water, or a mixed solvent thereof. Examples of the organic solvent include esters such as ethyl acetate; ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone, acetone, and cyclohexanone; cyclic ethers such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) and dioxane; aliphatic or alicyclic hydrocarbons such as n-hexane and cyclohexane; aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and xylene; aliphatic or alicyclic alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, and cyclohexanol; glycol ethers such as alkylene glycol monoalkyl ethers (e.g., ethylene glycol monomethyl ether and ethylene glycol monoethyl ether) and dialkylene glycol monoalkyl ethers. Preferably, the solvent is water or a mixed solvent of water and ethanol.
[0058] The conductive coating liquid may contain any other appropriate components as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired.
[0059] ≪A-3. Adhesive layer≫ The thickness of the adhesive layer is preferably 5 μm to 150 μm, more preferably 10 μm to 130 μm, still more preferably 30 μm to 120 μm, particularly preferably 50 μm to 100 μm, and most preferably 60 μm to 90 μm in terms of more effectively expressing the effects of the present invention.
[0060] The surface free energy of the adhesive layer with respect to diiodomethane is preferably 3.5 mJ / m 2 ~7.5 mJ / m 2 and more preferably 3.5 mJ / m 2 ~7.0 mJ / m 2 and still more preferably 3.5 mJ / m 2 ~6.5 mJ / m 2 and still more preferably 3.5 mJ / m 2 ~6.0 mJ / m 2 and particularly preferably 3.5 mJ / m 2 ~5.5 mJ / m 2 and most preferably 3.7 mJ / m 2 ~5.0 mJ / m2 If the surface free energy of the adhesive layer with respect to diiodomethane is within the above range, the surface protective film according to the embodiment of the present invention can sufficiently suppress the peeling band voltage and exhibit excellent antistatic properties. If the surface free energy of the adhesive layer with respect to diiodomethane is too low and outside the above range, the peeling band voltage may not be sufficiently suppressed, and excellent antistatic properties may not be exhibited. If the surface free energy of the adhesive layer with respect to diiodomethane is too high and outside the above range, the adherend may be contaminated.
[0061] Furthermore, the surface free energy of the adhesive layer with respect to diiodomethane can be easily measured, as will be described later. By designing the adhesive layer so that this surface free energy falls within the predetermined range described above, the surface protective film according to the embodiment of the present invention can sufficiently suppress the peel voltage and exhibit excellent antistatic properties.
[0062] The adhesive layer is composed of an adhesive. The adhesive is formed from an adhesive composition. That is, the adhesive formed from the adhesive composition forms a layer structure, thereby creating the adhesive layer.
[0063] Adhesives can be defined as those formed from an adhesive composition. This is because adhesives become adhesives when an adhesive composition undergoes a crosslinking reaction due to heating or ultraviolet irradiation, and therefore it is impossible and impractical to directly identify an adhesive by its structure. Thus, the definition "formed from an adhesive composition" appropriately identifies the adhesive as a "thing."
[0064] The adhesive layer can be formed by any suitable method. Such a method includes, for example, applying an adhesive composition onto any suitable substrate, heating and drying as necessary, and curing as necessary to form an adhesive layer on the substrate. Such application methods include, for example, gravure roll coaters, reverse roll coaters, kiss roll coaters, dip roll coaters, bar coaters, knife coaters, air knife coaters, spray coaters, comma coaters, direct coaters, and roll brush coaters.
[0065] The adhesive composition comprises a base polymer and a fluorine-based compound, wherein the base polymer is a urethane prepolymer. Because the adhesive composition comprises a base polymer and a fluorine-based compound, and the base polymer is a urethane prepolymer, the surface protective film according to the embodiment of the present invention can sufficiently suppress the peel voltage and exhibit excellent antistatic properties.
[0066] In the present invention, the effects of the present invention can be achieved by including a fluorine-based compound in the adhesive composition in addition to the base polymer.
[0067] The content of the base polymer in the adhesive composition is preferably 60% to 99.9% by weight, more preferably 65% to 99.9% by weight, even more preferably 70% to 99.9% by weight, particularly preferably 75% to 99.9% by weight, and most preferably 80% to 99.9% by weight, based on solid content. If the content of the base polymer in the adhesive composition is within the above range based on solid content, the surface protective film according to the embodiment of the present invention can more sufficiently suppress the peel voltage and exhibit better antistatic properties.
[0068] The content ratio of the fluorine-based compound to 100 parts by weight of the base polymer is preferably 0.01 to 3.0 parts by weight, more preferably 0.1 to 3.0 parts by weight, even more preferably 0.2 to 2.0 parts by weight, particularly preferably 0.2 to 1.5 parts by weight, and most preferably 0.2 to 1.0 parts by weight. If the content ratio of the fluorine-based compound to 100 parts by weight of the base polymer is within the above range, the surface protective film according to the embodiment of the present invention can more sufficiently suppress the peeling band voltage and exhibit better antistatic properties. If the content ratio of the fluorine-based compound to 100 parts by weight of the base polymer is too low and outside the above range, the peeling band voltage may not be sufficiently suppressed, and excellent antistatic properties may not be exhibited. If the content ratio of the fluorine-based compound to 100 parts by weight of the base polymer is too high and outside the above range, the adherend may be contaminated.
[0069] <A-3-a.ベースポリマー> The urethane prepolymer, which is the base polymer, can react with a polyfunctional isocyanate compound to form a urethane resin. More specifically, a urethane resin is preferably formed from a composition containing a urethane prepolymer and a polyfunctional isocyanate compound, and more specifically, a urethane resin is formed by curing a composition containing a urethane prepolymer and a polyfunctional isocyanate compound. As a method for curing a composition containing a urethane prepolymer and a polyfunctional isocyanate compound to form a urethane resin, any suitable method can be used, such as a urethane formation reaction method using bulk polymerization or solution polymerization, as long as it does not impair the effects of the present invention.
[0070] There are two methods for producing urethane-based resins: the "one-shot method," which involves directly reacting a polyol with a polyfunctional isocyanate to produce a urethane adhesive without using a urethane prepolymer, and the "prepolymer method," which involves reacting a urethane prepolymer with a polyfunctional isocyanate to produce a urethane adhesive. In this invention, the urethane prepolymer as the base polymer refers to the urethane prepolymer that reacts with the polyfunctional isocyanate in the "prepolymer method" described above, and is different from the polyol that reacts with the polyfunctional isocyanate in the "one-shot method" described above.
[0071] The urethane prepolymer may be of one type or two or more types.
[0072] The number-average molecular weight (Mn) of the urethane prepolymer is preferably 3,000 to 1,000,000.
[0073] Urethane prepolymers are typically polymers obtained by reacting polyols with polyfunctional isocyanate compounds, and they have isocyanate groups at the molecular ends.
[0074] The urethane prepolymer is preferably a polyurethane polyol, and more preferably at least one selected from polyester polyol (a1) and polyether polyol (a2), which is reacted with a polyfunctional isocyanate compound in the presence or absence of a catalyst.
[0075] The polyester polyol (a1) may be of one type or two or more types.
[0076] The polyether polyol (a2) may be of one type or two or more types.
[0077] Any suitable polyester polyol (a1) can be used. Examples of such polyester polyols (a1) include polyester polyols obtained by reacting an acid component with a glycol component. Examples of acid components include terephthalic acid, adipic acid, azelaic acid, sebatic acid, phthalic anhydride, isophthalic acid, and trimellitic acid. Examples of glycol components include ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, butylene glycol, 1,6-hexane glycol, 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol, 3,3'-dimethylolheptane, polyoxyethylene glycol, polyoxypropylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, neopentyl glycol, butylethylpentanediol, glycerin, trimethylolpropane, and pentaerythritol. Other examples of polyester polyols (a1) include those obtained by ring-opening polymerization of lactones such as polycaprolactone, poly(β-methyl-γ-valerolactone), and polyvalerolactone.
[0078] The molecular weight of polyester polyol (a1) can range from low to high. Preferably, the number average molecular weight (Mn) of polyester polyol (a1) is between 100 and 100,000. If the number average molecular weight (Mn) is less than 100, the reactivity will be high, potentially leading to gelation. If the number average molecular weight (Mn) exceeds 100,000, the reactivity will be low, and the cohesive force of the polyurethane polyol itself may decrease. The amount of polyester polyol (a1) used is preferably between 0 mol% and 90 mol% of the polyol constituting the polyurethane polyol.
[0079] Any suitable polyether polyol (a2) can be used. Examples of such polyether polyols (a2) include those obtained by polymerizing oxirane compounds such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide, and tetrahydrofuran using a low molecular weight polyol such as water, propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, glycerin, or trimethylolpropane as an initiator. Specifically, examples of such polyether polyols (a2) include polyether polyols with two or more functional groups, such as polypropylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and polytetramethylene glycol.
[0080] The polyether polyol (a2) can be used with a molecular weight ranging from low to high. The number average molecular weight (Mn) of the polyether polyol (a2) is preferably between 100 and 100,000. If the number average molecular weight (Mn) is less than 100, the reactivity may increase, potentially leading to gelation. If the number average molecular weight (Mn) exceeds 100,000, the reactivity may decrease, and furthermore, the cohesive force of the polyurethane polyol itself may weaken. The amount of polyether polyol (a2) used is preferably between 0 mol% and 90 mol% of the polyol constituting the polyurethane polyol.
[0081] Polyether polyol (a2) can be used in combination with glycols such as ethylene glycol, 1,4-butanediol, neopentyl glycol, butylethylpentanediol, glycerin, trimethylolpropane, and pentaerythritol, or polyhydric amines such as ethylenediamine, N-aminoethylethanolamine, isophoronediamine, and xylylenediamine, as needed.
[0082] As the polyether polyol (a2), only a bifunctional polyether polyol may be used, or a polyether polyol having a number average molecular weight Mn of 100 to 100,000 and having at least three hydroxyl groups in one molecule may be used in part or in whole. When a polyether polyol having a number average molecular weight Mn of 100 to 100,000 and having at least three hydroxyl groups in one molecule is used in part or in whole as the polyether polyol (a2), a good balance between adhesiveness and re-peelability can be obtained. In such polyether polyols, if the number average molecular weight Mn is less than 100, the reactivity may increase and gelation may occur easily. Also, in such polyether polyols, if the number average molecular weight Mn exceeds 100,000, the reactivity may decrease, and furthermore, the cohesive force of the polyurethane polyol itself may decrease. The number average molecular weight Mn of such polyether polyols is more preferably 100 to 10,000.
[0083] The polyfunctional isocyanate compound that can be reacted with the polyol to obtain the urethane prepolymer may be one type or two or more types.
[0084] Any suitable polyfunctional isocyanate compound that can be used in the urethane reaction can be employed as the polyfunctional isocyanate compound. Examples of such polyfunctional isocyanate compounds include polyfunctional aliphatic isocyanate compounds, polyfunctional alicyclic isocyanates, polyfunctional aromatic isocyanate compounds, and polyfunctional aromatic aliphatic isocyanate compounds.
[0085] Examples of polyfunctional aliphatic isocyanate compounds include trimethylene diisocyanate, tetramethylene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, pentamethylene diisocyanate, 1,2-propylene diisocyanate, 1,3-butylene diisocyanate, 2,3-butylene diisocyanate, dodecamethylene diisocyanate, and 2,4,4-trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate.
[0086] Examples of polyfunctional alicyclic isocyanate compounds include 3-isocyanate methyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexyl isocyanate, 1,3-cyclopentane diisocyanate, 1,3-cyclohexane diisocyanate, 1,4-cyclohexane diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, methyl-2,4-cyclohexane diisocyanate, methyl-2,6-cyclohexane diisocyanate, 4,4'-methylenebis(cyclohexyl isocyanate), 1,4-bis(isocyanate methyl)cyclohexane, 1,4-bis(isocyanate methyl)cyclohexane, hydrogenated diphenylmethane diisocyanate, hydrogenated xylylene diisocyanate, hydrogenated tolylene diisocyanate, and hydrogenated tetramethylxylylene diisocyanate.
[0087] Examples of polyfunctional aromatic diisocyanate compounds include 1,3-phenylenediisocyanate, 1,4-phenylenediisocyanate, 2,4-tolylenediisosoanate, 2,6-tolylenediisocyanate, 2,2'-diphenylmethanediisocyanate, 4,4'-diphenylmethanediisocyanate, 4,4'-toluidinediisocyanate, 2,4,6-triisocyanatetoluene, 1,3,5-triisocyanatebenzene, 4,4'-diphenyletherdiisocyanate, 4,4'-diphenyldiisocyanate, 1,5-naphthalenediisocyanate, 4,4',4"-triphenylmethanetriisocyanate, dianisidinediisocyanate, and xylylenediisocyanate.
[0088] Examples of polyfunctional aromatic aliphatic isocyanate compounds include ω,ω'-diisocyanate-1,3-dimethylbenzene, ω,ω'-diisocyanate-1,4-dimethylbenzene, ω,ω'-diisocyanate-1,4-diethylbenzene, 1,4-tetramethylxylylenediisocyanate, and 1,3-tetramethylxylylenediisocyanate.
[0089] Examples of polyfunctional isocyanate compounds include the trimethylolpropane adduct derivatives of the various polyfunctional isocyanate compounds mentioned above, the biuret derivatives obtained by reaction with water, and trimers having an isocyanurate ring. These may also be used in combination.
[0090] The isocyanate groups in the polyfunctional isocyanate compound are preferably used in excess of the hydroxyl groups of the polyol in a molar ratio. The equivalent ratio of NCO groups to OH groups in the polyol and polyfunctional isocyanate compound that can be used to obtain a urethane prepolymer is preferably 1.01 to 5.0, more preferably 1.1 to 3.0, even more preferably 1.1 to 2.0, particularly preferably 1.1 to 1.8, and most preferably 1.2 to 1.6 as NCO group / OH group.
[0091] Any suitable catalyst can be used to obtain the urethane prepolymer. Examples of such catalysts include tertiary amine compounds and organometallic compounds.
[0092] Examples of tertiary amine compounds include triethylamine, triethylenediamine, and 1,8-diazabicyclo(5,4,0)-undecene-7(DBU).
[0093] Examples of organometallic compounds include tin compounds and non-tin compounds. Examples of tin compounds include dibutyltin dichloride, dibutyltin oxide, dibutyltin dibromide, dibutyltin dimaleate, dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL), dibutyltin diacetate, dibutyltin sulfide, tributyltin sulfide, tributyltin oxide, tributyltin acetate, triethyltin ethoxide, tributyltin ethoxide, dioctyltin oxide, tributyltin chloride, tributyltin trichloroacetate, and tin 2-ethylhexanoate. Examples of non-tin compounds include titanium compounds such as dibutyltitanium dichloride, tetrabutyltitanate, and butoxytitanium trichloride; lead compounds such as lead oleate, lead 2-ethylhexanoate, lead benzoate, and lead naphthenate; iron compounds such as iron 2-ethylhexanoate and iron acetylacetonate; cobalt compounds such as cobalt benzoate and cobalt 2-ethylhexanoate; zinc compounds such as zinc naphthenate and zinc 2-ethylhexanoate; and zirconium compounds such as zirconium naphthenate.
[0094] When a catalyst is used in preparing the urethane prepolymer, the amount of catalyst used is preferably 0.001% to 1.0% by weight, and more preferably 0.005% to 1.0% by weight, relative to the total amount of polyester polyol (a1), polyether polyol (a2), and polyfunctional isocyanate compound.
[0095] When using a catalyst in the preparation of urethane prepolymers, systems containing two types of polyols, polyester polyols and polyether polyols, tend to exhibit problems such as gelation and turbidity of the reaction solution due to their differing reactivity when using a single catalyst. Therefore, using two types of catalysts when obtaining urethane prepolymers makes it easier to control the reaction rate and catalyst selectivity, thereby resolving these issues. Examples of such two-catalyst combinations include tertiary amine compounds / organometallic compounds, tin compounds / non-tin compounds, and tin compounds / tin compounds. Preferably, it is a tin compound / tin compound, and more preferably a combination of dibutyltin dilaurate and tin 2-ethylhexanoate. The weight ratio of tin 2-ethylhexanoate / dibutyltin dilaurate is preferably less than 1, and more preferably 0.2 to 0.6. A ratio of 1 or more may increase the likelihood of gelation due to the balance of catalytic activity.
[0096] When a catalyst is used in preparing a urethane prepolymer, the reaction temperature is preferably less than 100°C, and more preferably between 85°C and 95°C. At temperatures above 100°C, it may become difficult to control the reaction rate and crosslinking structure, potentially making it difficult to obtain a urethane prepolymer with a predetermined molecular weight.
[0097] When preparing urethane prepolymers, a catalyst may not be used. In that case, the reaction temperature is preferably 100°C or higher, and more preferably 110°C or higher. Furthermore, when preparing urethane prepolymers without a catalyst, it is preferable to allow the reaction to proceed for 3 hours or more.
[0098] As a method for preparing a urethane prepolymer, for example, 1) a method of charging a polyol, a catalyst, and a polyfunctional isocyanate compound into a full-volume flask, and 2) a method of charging a polyol and a catalyst into a flask and adding a polyfunctional isocyanate compound dropwise can be mentioned. In the method of 2), after dropping the polyfunctional isocyanate compound, a polyol and a polyfunctional isocyanate compound may be further added. As a method for preparing a urethane prepolymer, the method of 2) is preferable in terms of controlling the reaction.
[0099] When preparing a urethane prepolymer, any suitable solvent can be used. Examples of such solvents include methyl ethyl ketone, ethyl acetate, toluene, xylene, and acetone. Among these solvents, toluene is preferable.
[0100] <A-3-b. Polyfunctional isocyanate compound> The urethane prepolymer as a base polymer reacts with a polyfunctional isocyanate compound to form a urethane resin. Therefore, the adhesive composition preferably contains a polyfunctional isocyanate compound.
[0101] The polyfunctional isocyanate compound may be only one kind or two or more kinds.
[0102] As the polyfunctional isocyanate compound, any suitable polyfunctional isocyanate compound that can be used in the urethanization reaction can be adopted. As such a polyfunctional isocyanate compound, the polyfunctional isocyanate compound described as a polyfunctional isocyanate compound that can react with a polyol to obtain a urethane prepolymer can be adopted. The polyfunctional isocyanate compound that reacts with the urethane prepolymer as a base polymer to form a urethane resin may be the same as or different from the polyfunctional isocyanate compound described as a polyfunctional isocyanate compound that can react with a polyol to obtain a urethane prepolymer.
[0103] The equivalent ratio of the NCO groups of the polyfunctional isocyanate compound to the OH groups of the urethane prepolymer is preferably 1.0 to 2.7, more preferably 1.2 to 2.5, and still more preferably 1.4 to 2.5 is More preferably 1.5 to 2.5, even more preferably 1.6 to 2.5, particularly preferably 1.6 to 2.3, and most preferably 1.6 ~2.2. When the equivalent ratio of NCO groups / OH groups is within the above range, it is difficult to be easily peeled off from the adherend. Typically, during the manufacturing process of optical members and electronic members, peeling hardly occurs after being attached to the exposed surface of the optical member or the electronic member, and when peeling is required, a surface protection film that can be easily peeled off can be provided. Further, when the equivalent ratio of NCO groups / OH groups is within the above range, it becomes possible to reduce haze.
[0104] The content ratio of the polyfunctional isocyanate compound in the adhesive composition is preferably 1.0 to 30 parts by weight, more preferably 1.5 to 27 parts by weight, still more preferably 2.0 to 25 parts by weight, still more preferably 2.3 to 23 parts by weight, still more preferably 2.3 to 18 parts by weight, particularly preferably 2.5 to 18 parts by weight, and most preferably 2.5 to 16 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the urethane prepolymer. When the content ratio of the polyfunctional isocyanate compound is within the above range, it is difficult to be easily peeled off from the adherend. Typically, during the manufacturing process of optical members and electronic members, peeling hardly occurs after being attached to the exposed surface of the optical member or the electronic member, and when peeling is required, a surface protection film that can be easily peeled off can be provided. Further, when the content ratio of the polyfunctional isocyanate compound is within the above range, it becomes possible to reduce haze.
[0105] <A-3-c. Fluorine-based compound> As the fluorine-based compound, any appropriate fluorine-based compound can be adopted as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. By including a fluorine-based compound in the adhesive composition in addition to the base polymer, the surface protection film according to the embodiment of the present invention can sufficiently suppress the peeling charging voltage and exhibit excellent antistatic properties.
[0106] The fluorine-based compound may be one type or two or more types.
[0107] In terms of being able to better express the effects of the present invention, the fluorine-based compound is preferably a fluorine-based oligomer, more preferably an oligomer having a fluorine-containing group and a hydrophilic group and / or a lipophilic group, and even more preferably an oligomer having a fluorine-containing group, a hydrophilic group and a lipophilic group.
[0108] Examples of fluorine-containing groups include fluorine-containing alkyl groups (e.g., CF3-, etc.) and / or fluorine-containing alkylene groups (e.g., -CF2-CF2-, etc.). A hydrophilic group is a group that has hydrophilic properties, and hydrophilicity is a property generally known to those skilled in the art, meaning "having an affinity for water" (see, for example, the McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms (3rd revised edition, Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun). A lipophilic group is a group that has lipophilic properties, and lipophilicity is a property generally known to those skilled in the art, meaning "having an affinity for oil" (see, for example, the McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms (3rd revised edition, Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun).
[0109] In order to better exhibit the effects of the present invention, the fluorine-based compound, when used as a 0.1% toluene solution, preferably has a surface tension (surface tension of toluene is 27.9 mN / m) of 19.0 mN / m to 25.9 mN / m, more preferably 22.0 mN / m to 25.7 mN / m, even more preferably 23.0 mN / m to 25.5 mN / m, particularly preferably 23.5 mN / m to 25.3 mN / m, and most preferably 24.0 mN / m to 25.0 mN / m. By employing such specific fluorine-based compounds as described above, the surface protective film according to the embodiment of the present invention can sufficiently suppress the peeling voltage, exhibit excellent antistatic properties, and the adhesive layer can exhibit excellent anchoring properties.
[0110] A particularly preferred embodiment of the fluorinated compound is an oligomer containing a fluorinated group, a hydrophilic group, and a lipophilic group, and having a surface tension of 19.0 mN / m to 25.9 mN / m when used in a 0.1% toluene solution (the surface tension of toluene is 27.9 mN / m). The above surface tension is preferably 22.0 mN / m to 25.7 mN / m, more preferably 23.0 mN / m to 25.5 mN / m, even more preferably 23.5 mN / m to 25.3 mN / m, and particularly preferably 24.0 mN / m to 25.0 mN / m. By employing such a specific fluorinated compound as the fluorinated compound, the surface protective film according to the embodiment of the present invention can more sufficiently suppress the peeling band voltage, exhibit better antistatic properties, and the adhesive layer can exhibit better anchoring properties.
