Description

Release Film and Adhesive Tape with Release Film

[0001] The present invention relates to a release film and an adhesive tape with a release film.

[0002] The release film is used, for example, for the purpose of protecting the surface of the adhesive tape. The adhesive tape is generally supplied with the release film attached, and the release film is peeled off from the adhesive tape when the adhesive tape is used.

[0003] As the adhesive of the adhesive tape, a silicone adhesive is generally used. As the release film used for the silicone adhesive tape, a release film made of a fluorine-based release agent has been well known (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3).

[0004] Japanese Patent No. 3025262 International Publication No. 2019 / 208141 Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication No. 2024-6000

[0005] However, fluorine-based release agents have a high material cost and environmental problems have also been pointed out. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a non-fluorine-based release film having good peelability from an adhesive tape.

[0006] The above object of the present invention has been achieved by the following invention.

[0007] [1] A release film having a release layer on a substrate, wherein the release layer is composed of a cured layer of an active energy ray-curable composition containing a compound having an alkyl group with 8 or more carbon atoms (hereinafter referred to as "long-chain alkyl compound"), and the average length (RSm) of the roughness curve elements measured by an atomic force microscope (AFM) on the surface of the release layer is 300 nm or more.

[0008] [2] The release film according to [1], wherein the active energy ray-curable composition further contains a compound having no alkyl group with 8 or more carbon atoms in the molecule and having an ethylenically unsaturated group (hereinafter referred to as "polymerizable compound (c)").

[0010] [4] The release film according to [2] or [3], wherein the polymerizable compound (c) is a compound that does not have an alkyl group having 8 or more carbon atoms in its molecule and has 2 to 10 ethylenically unsaturated groups.

[0011] [5] The release film according to any one of [2] to [4], wherein the mass ratio of the long-chain alkyl compound to the polymerizable compound (c) (mass of polymerizable compound (c) / mass of the long-chain alkyl compound) is 1.7 or more and 15.0 or less.

[0012] [6] The release film according to any one of [2] to [5], wherein the total mass of the long-chain alkyl compound and the polymerizable compound (c) is 70% by mass or more with respect to 100% by mass of the total solid content of the active energy ray curable composition.

[0013] [7] The release film according to any one of [1] to [6], wherein the thickness of the release layer is 50 nm or more and less than 600 nm.

[0015] [9] The release film according to any one of [1] to [8], wherein the surface free energy of the surface of the substrate on the release layer side is 40 mN / m or more and 60 mN / m or less.

[0016]

[10] The release film according to any one of [1] to [9], wherein the arithmetic mean height Ra of the roughness curve of the surface of the substrate on the release layer side is 0.03 μm or more and 0.70 μm or less.

[0017]

[11] A release film adhesive tape comprising a silicone adhesive layer of a silicone adhesive tape to which a release film described in any of [1] to

[10] is bonded.

[0018] According to the present invention, a non-fluorine-based release film with good peelability from adhesive tape can be provided.

[0019] This is a schematic side view showing an example of a manufacturing apparatus for the release film of the present invention.

[0020] The release film of the present invention has a release layer on a substrate. The release layer consists of a cured layer of an active energy ray curable composition containing a long-chain alkyl group compound, and is characterized in that the average length (RSm) of the roughness curve elements measured by an atomic force microscope (AFM) on the surface of the release layer is 300 nm or more. Hereinafter, the average length (RSm) of the roughness curve elements measured by an atomic force microscope (AFM) may be abbreviated as "RSm".

[0021] We found that the release layer being a cured layer of an active energy ray curable composition containing a long-chain alkyl compound, and having an RSm of 300 nm or more on the surface of the release layer, improves the peelability from adhesive tapes. In particular, the peelability from silicone-based adhesive tapes is improved. Hereinafter, the peelability between adhesive tape and release film will simply be referred to as "peelability".

[0022] Hereinafter, alkyl groups containing eight or more carbon atoms in long-chain alkyl compounds are sometimes referred to as "long-chain alkyl groups."

[0023] The mechanism by which the release properties of the release film of the present invention are improved is not clear, but it is presumed to be as follows. In a release layer consisting of a cured layer of an active energy ray curable composition containing a long-chain alkyl compound, an RSm of 300 nm or more on the surface of the release layer is presumed to indicate that the orientation of the long-chain alkyl group to the surface of the release layer is progressing. That is, it is presumed that the more the orientation of the long-chain alkyl group progresses, the larger the RSm on the surface of the release layer becomes, and the better the release properties. This effect is particularly effective in improving the release properties with silicone adhesive tapes. Hereinafter, the orientation of the long-chain alkyl group to the surface of the release layer may be abbreviated as "orientation".

[0024] From the above viewpoint, the RSm of the release layer surface is preferably 400 nm or more, more preferably 500 nm or more, even more preferably 700 nm or more, and particularly preferably 800 nm or more. The upper limit is preferably 4,000 nm or less, preferably 3,000 nm or less, even more preferably 2,500 nm, and particularly preferably 2,000 nm or less.

[0025] [Release Layer] The release layer is a cured layer of an active energy ray-curable composition containing a long-chain alkyl compound. Here, the cured layer of an active energy ray-curable composition refers to a layer that has been cured by irradiation with active energy rays.

[0026] Specifically, it is a layer obtained by curing an active energy ray-curable composition coated on a substrate by irradiating it with active energy rays. Examples of active energy rays include ultraviolet light, visible light, infrared light, electron beams, alpha rays, beta rays, and gamma rays. Among these, ultraviolet light and electron beams are preferred, and ultraviolet light is particularly preferred.

[0027] From the viewpoint of enhancing orientation, the number of carbon atoms in the long-chain alkyl group in the long-chain alkyl compound is 8 or more, preferably 10 or more, more preferably 12 or more, and particularly preferably 14 or more. The number of carbon atoms in the long-chain alkyl group is preferably 30 or less, more preferably 28 or less, even more preferably 25 or less, and particularly preferably 23 or less. The long-chain alkyl group may be linear or branched, but a linear chain is preferred from the viewpoint of orientation.

[0028] Long-chain alkyl compounds may or may not be polymerizable. Hereinafter, compounds having an alkyl group with 8 or more carbon atoms and an ethylenically unsaturated group may be referred to as "polymerizable long-chain alkyl compounds (a)," and long-chain alkyl compounds that are not polymerizable may be referred to as "non-polymerizable long-chain alkyl compounds (b)." It is preferable that the long-chain alkyl compound includes at least polymerizable long-chain alkyl compounds (a).

For example, the drying temperature in the initial drying stage is preferably 30°C to 50°C, and the drying temperature in the later drying stage is preferably 70°C to 95°C. An intermediate drying stage of 50°C to 70°C may be provided between the initial and later drying stages.

[0067] The light source for irradiating ultraviolet light is not particularly limited, but for example, ultraviolet fluorescent lamps, low-pressure mercury lamps, medium-pressure mercury lamps, high-pressure mercury lamps, ultra-high-pressure mercury lamps, carbon arc lamps, metal halide lamps, xenon lamps, etc. can be used. ArF excimer lasers, KrF excimer lasers, excimer lamps, or synchrotron radiation can also be used. Of these, ultra-high-pressure mercury lamps, high-pressure mercury lamps, low-pressure mercury lamps, carbon arcs, xenon arcs, and metal halide lamps are preferred.

[0068] The amount of ultraviolet light irradiated is 50 mJ / cm². 2 The above is preferable, and 100 mJ / cm 2 The above is more preferable, and especially 150 mJ / cm². 2 The above is preferable. The irradiation intensity of ultraviolet light is 2000 mJ / cm². 2 The following is preferable: 1000 mJ / cm 2 The following are preferable.

[0069] It is preferable to perform ultraviolet irradiation in an atmosphere with a low oxygen concentration. This increases the curing efficiency. For example, the oxygen concentration during ultraviolet irradiation is preferably 1,000 ppm or less, more preferably 500 ppm or less, even more preferably 300 ppm or less, and particularly preferably 200 ppm or less.

[0070] A low-oxygen atmosphere can be created, for example, by supplying an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon to the area irradiated with ultraviolet light, or by continuously introducing and filling the ultraviolet irradiation device with an inert gas.

[0071] It is preferable to suppress the temperature rise of the composition when irradiated with ultraviolet light. As a method to suppress this temperature rise, for example, a method can be employed in which the conveying roller of the substrate on which the composition is laminated is equipped with a cooling function or a temperature control function.

[0072] As described above, performing ultraviolet irradiation in a low-oxygen atmosphere and suppressing the temperature rise of the composition during ultraviolet irradiation can be expected to enhance orientation.

[0073] Figure 1 shows an example of a manufacturing apparatus for the release film of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0074] In Figure 1, the substrate 10 is unwound from the unwinding device 20 and transported, and an active energy ray curable composition (not shown) is applied by the coating device 30. The solvent in the composition evaporates and dries in the drying device 40, forming a release layer precursor (not shown) on the substrate 10. This release layer precursor is irradiated with ultraviolet light in the ultraviolet irradiation device 50 and hardened to form a release layer, becoming a release film 11, which is then wound into a roll by the winding device 60.

[0075] In the ultraviolet irradiation device 50, the substrate 10 on which the release layer precursor is formed is wound around the transport roller 51 and transported while being irradiated with ultraviolet light from the ultraviolet generator 52. The transport roller 51 is either water-cooled or temperature-controlled to 20-50°C.

[0076] [Adhesive Tape with Release Film] The release film of the present invention is preferably applied to adhesive tape. The above-mentioned adhesive tape refers to a tape in which an adhesive layer is laminated on a support. Examples of support materials include synthetic resin film, paper, cloth, nonwoven fabric, resin foam, and aluminum foil. Examples of adhesives that form the adhesive layer include silicone-based adhesives, acrylic-based adhesives, rubber-based adhesives, silicone-based adhesives, urethane-based adhesives, and polyester-based adhesives. Among these adhesives, silicone-based adhesives are preferably used because they have relatively good weather resistance and chemical resistance, are not sticky, and have the advantage that the adhesive strength does not change much even when reapplied. In other words, the release film of the present invention is preferably applied to silicone adhesive tape.

[0077] Here, an adhesive tape to which a release film is attached is called an adhesive tape with a release film. A preferred embodiment to which the release film of the present invention is applied is a silicone adhesive tape with a release film to which the silicone adhesive layer of a silicone adhesive tape and the release layer of the release film of the present invention are attached opposite each other.

[0078] Furthermore, the release film of the present invention can also be suitably applied to adhesive tapes without a support (supportless adhesive tapes). For example, the release film of the present invention can be applied to one or both sides of a supportless adhesive tape. Specifically, one configuration is to apply the release film of the present invention as a light release film to one side of the supportless adhesive tape, and to apply another release film with a greater peeling force than the release film of the present invention to the other side as a heavy release film. The other release film is not particularly limited, and any known release film can be used. Supportless silicone adhesive tapes are preferred as the supportless adhesive tapes to which the release film of the present invention is applied.

[0079] The release film of the present invention exhibits good release properties with respect to silicone adhesive tape. For example, the release force between the silicone adhesive tape and the release film is preferably 1.5 N / 50 mm or less, more preferably 1.0 N / 50 mm or less, and particularly preferably 0.7 N / 50 mm or less. The lower limit of the release force is preferably 0.1 N / 50 mm or more. The above release forces are those obtained when using "Kapton®" tape No. 650S#25 manufactured by Teraoka Seisakusho Co., Ltd. as the silicone adhesive tape. Details of the measurement method are shown in the examples described later.

[0080] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0081] [Measurement Method and Evaluation Method] (1) Measurement of the average length (RSm) of roughness curve elements The RSm of the release layer was measured in accordance with JIS B0601 (2001) "ISO 4278 (1997)" using an atomic force microscope "AFM5100N" manufactured by Hitachi High-Tech Science under the following conditions. Ten points were measured and averaged. - Scanning mode: DFM - Scanning range: 5 μm × 5 μm - Number of data points: 512 × 512 - Measurement environment: 25°C, in air.

[0082] (2) Measurement of the thickness of the release layer Samples for cross-sectional observation of the release film were prepared using the FIB method with a microsampling system (Hitachi FB-2000A) (specifically, based on the method described on pp. 118-119 of "Polymer Surface Processing" (by Akira Iwamori, published June 2005). The cross-section of the sample for cross-sectional observation was observed using a transmission electron microscope (Hitachi H-9000UHRII) with an acceleration voltage of 300kV, and the thickness of the release layer was measured. Three measurements were taken and averaged.

[0083] (3) Measurement of Surface Free Energy of Substrates Three liquids with known surface free energy and their respective components (dispersion force, polar force, hydrogen bonding force) were used: water, diiodomethane, and 1-bromonaphthalene. At 23°C and 65% RH, the contact angle of each liquid on the substrate was measured using a DropMasterDM501 contact angle meter (manufactured by Kyowa Interface Science Co., Ltd.). Five measurements were taken for each measurement surface, and the average value was taken as the contact angle (θ). From this contact angle (θ) value and the known values ​​for each liquid (Panzer's Method IV (described in the Journal of the Japan Adhesion Society, Vol. 15, No. 3, p. 96)), the values ​​of each component were calculated using the following formula, which is derived from the Kitazaki-Hata formula: (γSd・γLd)¹ / ² + (γSp・γLp)¹ / ² + (γSh・γLh)¹ / ² = γL(¹ + cosθ) / ².

[0084] Here, γLd, γLp, and γLh represent the dispersion force, polar force, and hydrogen bonding force components of the measurement liquid, respectively; θ represents the contact angle of the measurement liquid on the measurement surface; γSd, γSp, and γSh represent the values ​​of the dispersion force, polar force, and hydrogen bonding force components of the layer surface, respectively; and γL represents the surface energy of each liquid. By substituting the known values ​​and θ into the above equation and solving the resulting system of equations, the values ​​of the three components of the measurement surface (release layer surface) were determined.

[0085] The surface free energy (E) was calculated as the sum of the values ​​of the dispersion force component, the polar force component, and the hydrogen bonding force component, as shown in the following formula: E = γSd + γSp + γSh.

[0086] (4) Measurement of the thickness of the substrate The substrate was cut to A4 size, and the thickness was measured at five arbitrary points within the cut sample using a micrometer according to the micrometer method specified in JIS C2151 (2019). The average value of the obtained values ​​was taken as the thickness of the polyester film.

[0087] (5) Measurement of haze value of substrate In accordance with JIS K 7136 (2000), the haze value was measured using a turbidimeter "NDH-4000" manufactured by Nippon Denshoku Industries Co., Ltd. Three measurements were taken and averaged.

[0088] (6) Measurement of the arithmetic mean height Ra of the substrate roughness curve. Measurement was performed using a Surfcom SE500A manufactured by Kosaka Laboratory in accordance with JIS B0601 (2001) "ISO 4278 (1997)" under the following conditions. Ten measurements were taken and averaged. <Measurement conditions> - Needle tip radius: 2 μm - Cutoff: 0.8 mm - Measurement speed: 0.5 mm / sec - Measurement length: 4 mm.

[0089] (7) Measurement of peeling force The release film was cut to a width of 50 mm x length of 70 mm to be used as a measurement sample. Silicone adhesive tape ("Kapton®" tape No. 650S#25 manufactured by Teraoka Seisakusho Co., Ltd.) was attached to the surface of the release layer of this measurement sample by pressing it down with a rubber roller weighing 5 kg and moving it back and forth once. After being left at room temperature (23 ± 2 °C) for 24 hours, the peeling force was measured using a tensile testing machine at a speed of 300 mm / min when the adhesive tape side was pulled off at 180°. Five measurement samples were prepared, and the peeling force of each measurement sample was measured and averaged. Lower peeling force (N / 50 mm) indicates better peelability.

[0090] [Substrate] A polyethylene terephthalate film with a thickness of 50 μm (Toray Industries, Inc.'s "Lumirror®" S28) was used as the substrate. The surface free energy of this film was 50 mN / m, and the arithmetic mean height Ra was 0.1 μm.
