Specific embodiment
<Polyester film>
The thickness of the polyester film of the present invention is less than 100 μm, the film width per unit distance on film width The per unit of the maximum X [%/m] and x of percent thermal shrinkage variable quantity x [%/m] absolute value in the direction vertical with film width Maximum Y [the %/m of the rate of change y absolute value of distance2] meet following formula (I) and (II).
0.01 < X < 2.00 ... (I)
0.1 < Y < 20.0 ... (II)
The film that thickness is less than 100 μm is also referred to as relatively thin film.
The manufacture method of polyester film describes in detail below, relatively thin film generally carry out transporting and stretching by using roller etc. and Obtain.Now, the conveyance direction of film is also referred to as MD (Machine Direction) direction.Additionally, the MD direction of film is also referred to as The length direction of film.Additionally, film width is the direction vertical with length direction.Film is transported by film width on side In the film that side manufactures, also referred to as TD (laterally, Transverse Direction) direction.
In the present invention, by film width be referred to as TD or TD direction, by the direction vertical with film width be referred to as MD or MD direction.Additionally, the thermal contraction in MD direction is also referred to as MD thermal contraction, its ratio is referred to as MD percent thermal shrinkage.Therefore, with film width The percent thermal shrinkage in the vertical direction in degree direction is also expressed as MD percent thermal shrinkage.
Additionally, the species of polyester is not particularly limited, the species of the polyester that can suitably use in the present invention is chatted later State, particularly commonly used polyethylene terephthalate (Polyethylene terephthalate;PET).Hereinafter, claim During for PET, refer to polyethylene terephthalate.
Polyester film carries out multifunction or compound by the stacking of multiple polyester films or in polyester film upper strata azido functional layer sometimes Change.In the processing of such polyester film, usual lateral dominance is transported with roller etc., while carrying out the heating of film, stretching etc..
If relatively thin polyester film is heated conveyance, there is polyester film in the MD direction and tighten (drawing I つ れ), produce The tendency of raw gauffer.By the concavo-convex referred to as tendon shape protuberance of the wrinkle on film in the present invention, the wrinkle on described film is that film exists Cool down in the state of producing wrinkle, solidify and remain on film.If polyester film has tendon shape protuberance, coating coating on film Become during liquid to be difficult to equably be coated.If additionally, pasting the functional layers such as laminate layers on having crisp film, easily producing The raw fault such as entrance bubble between film and functional layer.
Relatively thin plastic foil for example there is as tape all the time, but, typically, make using with organic solvent in the past For the coating fluid of solvent, solvent is made to distribute required temperature low (for example, less than 100 DEG C).But, in recent years, Environment Oriented is protected Shield and become to tend to using water solvent (solvent comprising water), sometimes for so that water solvent is distributed and at 150 DEG C about High temperature under heated.Additionally, sometimes the material being solidified by heating as hard coat agent is laminated on film or film Containing hard coat agent, now, film is typically heated to 170 DEG C~180 DEG C.
Therefore, it is more prone to wrinkle in film, compared with the past, the generation of tendon shape protuberance easily becomes notable.
Generation to tendon shape protuberance has made intensive studies, and result thinks, tendon shape protuberance is by because film is because of heating The tension force when thermal contraction producing and film conveyance, film deforms with corrugated, and its immobilization and produce.Known by suppression Tension force etc. during masking conveyance is suppressing wrinkle, but only such and insufficient.
Investigate the main position producing of tendon shape protuberance in polyester film, result is known, in width (TD) per unit In distance, the change of the partly big position of the change of MD percent thermal shrinkage and MD percent thermal shrinkage position drastically is concentrated and is produced.
On width, the change of the big position of the change of MD percent thermal shrinkage and MD percent thermal shrinkage position drastically is in film During heating, local real estate is raw shrinks inequality, and the length easily producing local is uneven.If thinking to the length inequality producing local The local tension force applying film conveyance, then produce the inequality of stress, produce this position (producing the uneven place of the length of local) The position that stress is partly concentrated.Think that the position partly concentrated in this stress easily produces tendon shape protuberance.
On the other hand, by make the every TD unit distance on the TD direction of polyester film MD percent thermal shrinkage variable quantity x [%/ M] absolute value the rate of change y absolute value of the per unit distance of maximum X [%/m] and x maximum Y [%/m2] meet following Formula (I) and (II), can suppress the tendon shape of polyester film to swell.
0.01 < X < 2.00 ... (I)
0.1 < Y < 20.0 ... (II)
For the relation of above-mentioned (I) and (II) and tendon shape protuberance suppression, illustrated using Fig. 1 and Fig. 2.
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of the problem for the present invention is described, Fig. 2 is for the formula of the present invention (I) and (II) are described Schematic diagram.
In Fig. 1, overlap is shown in the schematic diagram of polyester film and the table that produce tendon shape protuberance by TD end along MD direction of film Show the curve (D of the MD shrinkage factor distribution in TD direction at the position of the film in TD direction of this polyester filmSh).Curve (DSh) with song Axle (position of the film in TD direction) on the downside of line and the axle (MD percent thermal shrinkage) on the right side of curve are as reference axis.
The tendon shape protuberance easily being produced by carrying out to relatively thin polyester film heating conveyance easily results from polyester film TD direction by end, represented with gushet in Fig. 1.For the polyester film creating tendon shape protuberance, if measuring along TD direction MD percent thermal shrinkage, then in the position MD percent thermal shrinkage substantially constant not producing tendon shape protuberance, but producing the area of tendon shape protuberance Domain is sharp changed in (region of the dotted line being represented with R), in the region not having tendon shape protuberance, there is MD percent thermal shrinkage The tendency that diminishes of variable quantity.
In Fig. 2, the TD direction along polyester film illustrates the position (P) of P1~P6 with (for example, 0.05m interval) at equal intervals.If MD percent thermal shrinkage at P1 is Sh1, if the MD percent thermal shrinkage at P2 is Sh2, until P6, the MD at mensure each position (P) place is warm to be received Shrinkage (Sh).
With regard to the position of n (n is more than 1), adjoining position will be deducted by the MD percent thermal shrinkage (Shn) of position (Pn) (Pn+1) the MD percent thermal shrinkage (Shn+1) at place, so by this value divided by Pn and Pn+1 between distance obtained from amount be set to MD heat The variable quantity xn of shrinkage factor.It is " the per unit distance of the film width of film width vertical with film width Percent thermal shrinkage variable quantity x [%/m] in direction ".In n xn, maximum value is " the maximum X of variable quantity x ".
For example, the MD percent thermal shrinkage (Sh2) at the MD percent thermal shrinkage (Sh1) at the P1 of position and position P2 is deducted and divided by P1 and P2 apart from when the amount that obtains calculate as x1.Similarly, calculate the x2~x5 shown in Fig. 2.Wherein, for example, x4 is (the x4=x during variable quantity of maximummax), x4 is maximum X (x4=X).
Additionally, " rate of change y of the per unit distance of x " passes through to be deducted by the MD percent thermal shrinkage (Shn) of position (Pn) The MD percent thermal shrinkage (Shn+1) at adjoining position (Pn+1) place so by this value divided by Pn and Pn+1 between distance obtained from measure The xn and MD percent thermal shrinkage (Shn+ being deducted adjoining position (Pn+2) place by the MD percent thermal shrinkage (Shn+1) of position (Pn+1) 2) so by this value divided by Pn and Pn+1 between distance obtained from measure xn+1 difference, the intermediate point divided by Pn and Pn+1 and Pn+1 Obtain with the distance of the intermediate point of Pn+2.In the y of n-1 being calculated, maximum rate of change is the maximum Y of rate of change y.
For example, in Fig. 2, by by the difference of x1 and x2 divided by the intermediate point of P1 and P2 and the distance of the intermediate point of P2 and P3 Calculate y1, by the difference of x2 and x3 is calculated y2 divided by intermediate point and the distance of the intermediate point of P3 and P4 of P2 and P3.Respectively In y1~y4 obtained from calculating, y4 is (y4=y during maximum rate of changemax), y4 is maximum Y (y4=Y).
In Fig. 1, as described as the region that sharp changes of MD percent thermal shrinkage illustrate as R.By institute in Fig. 2 The variable quantity x that the method shown calculates is the MD shrinkage factor distribution curve (D in the region R shown in Fig. 1Sh) tangent line Q slope, The maximum of the slope of tangent line Q on TD direction is maximum X.Additionally, the rate of change y being calculated by the method shown in Fig. 2 MD shrinkage factor distribution curve (D in region R shown in Fig. 1Sh) slope rate of change, the maximum of the rate of change in TD direction It is worth for maximum Y.
0.01 < X < 2.00 (formula (I)) is met by making X and Y so obtaining in the present invention, and, 0.1 < Y < 20.0 (formula (II)), thus the change of the local of MD percent thermal shrinkage of the reason suppress the tendon shape becoming polyester film to swell.Pass through Reduce X and Y, the variable quantity of MD percent thermal shrinkage diminishes, easily become uniform as the overall percent thermal shrinkage of polyester film.But, though So mechanism is not known, even if percent thermal shrinkage deviation diminishes also easily produces tendon shape protuberance, X and Y all specifies lower limit.
Hereinafter, the polyester film and its manufacture method of the present invention is described in detail.
In addition, in the present invention, heating conveyance refer to the film surface temperature of the film in the conveyance of polyester film be heated to 130 DEG C with On, the present invention can also be suitable for when the film surface temperature of film reaches the heating conveyance of more than at higher temperature 200 DEG C.

As long as the polyester film of the present invention can manufacture, to meet the thickness of formula (I) and (II) be less than 100 μm of polyester film Method then can be made by arbitrary method.In the present invention, can be by the polyester of the present invention for example shown below The manufacture method of film optimally makes.
Hereinafter, the manufacture method of the polyester film of the present invention is specifically described.
<The manufacture method of polyester film>
The manufacture method of the polyester film of the present invention is including following operation:
Polyester feed stock resin is melt extruded with lamellar, the film cooling down and shaping polyester film on curtain coating drum shapes Operation;
Polyester film formed thereby is carried out along its length the longitudinal stretching operation of longitudinal stretching;
Polyester film is transported successively to following portion, by the polyester film after longitudinal stretching along the width vertical with length direction Direction carries out the cross directional stretch operation of cross directional stretch, and wherein said each portion is:Polyester film after longitudinal stretching is preheated to can The preheating part of temperature of stretching, the width vertical with length direction to preheated polyester film edge apply tension force and carry out horizontal stroke To stretching extension section, the polyester film carrying out after longitudinal stretching and cross directional stretch carried out heat and makes its crystallization and thermal finalization Thermal finalization portion, the polyester film through thermal finalization is heated the overstrain that the tension recovery of polyester film is removed striping heat pine Relaxation portion and the cooling end by the polyester film cooling after hot wire-CVD,
In at least one of thermal finalization portion and hot wire-CVD portion, heater is utilized to the end of the polyester film of width Carry out selective radiation heating, and, in cooling end, the surface temperature of polyester film will be made when being cooled to 70 DEG C for 150 DEG C Average cooling rate in film width end is set to 1.01 times of the average cooling rate in the central part of film width ~2 times of method.
The manufacture method of the polyester film of the present invention can also comprise other operations.
The manufacture method of the polyester film of the present invention substantially comprises film forming process, longitudinal stretching operation and cross directional stretch work Sequence.Longitudinal stretching refers to the stretching to length direction (MD direction) of polyester film, cross directional stretch refer to polyester film to width side Stretching to (TD direction).
Cross directional stretch operation is divided into preheating part, extension section, thermal finalization portion, hot wire-CVD portion and cooling end, and polyester film is transported To each portion.
And then, in the manufacture method of the polyester film of the present invention, the thermal finalization portion in cross directional stretch operation or hot wire-CVD In both portion or thermal finalization portion and hot wire-CVD portion, using heater, selectivity spoke is carried out to the TD direction end of polyester film Penetrate heating.
Above-mentioned composition is had by the manufacture method making polyester film, easy to manufacture meets already described formula (I) and the thickness of (II) Spend the polyester film for less than 100 μm, even if easy to manufacture is also difficult to when carrying out heating conveyance produce the gauffer (tendon shape in MD direction Protuberance) polyester film.
As described, in the manufacture method of conventional polyester film, also suppress gauffer, attempt size stabilization, but Polyester that is relatively thin and meeting formula (I) and (II) cannot be manufactured as the present invention.
For example in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication 2009-149066 publication it is believed that due to following 1) and 2) shown in the reasons why, institute So that the polyester film meeting formula (I) and (II) cannot be manufactured.
1) the MD percent thermal shrinkage change of film end periphery
The MD percent thermal shrinkage of polyester film is typically by the pine of the crystallization degree of the polyester constituting film and the polyester molecule in MD direction Relaxation degree determines.The lax degree of the crystallization degree of polyester and polyester molecule is got over and is in progress, and there is MD percent thermal shrinkage becomes lower Tendency.
Generally, in the case of the PET carrying out cross directional stretch using stretching devices such as biaxial stretch-formed devices, the crystallization of PET The lax degree of change degree and PET molecule is determined by the temperature in the thermal finalization portion of stretching device.The heat setting temperature of film is higher, exists The crystallization degree of polyester is higher, polyester film MD percent thermal shrinkage becomes lower tendency.
When carrying out cross directional stretch and thermal finalization using stretching device, film is held component with clip etc. and is held, but Often from the entrance (when polyester film enters preheating part) of stretching device, through outlet, (polyester film leaves this holding component from cooling end When) and reach about 100 DEG C~150 DEG C about of temperature.Before the heat setting temperature of film generally reaches 200 DEG C in the case of pet Afterwards, but lower than heat setting temperature due to holding the temperature of component itself, so thermal runaway is to holding component side, inevitable mulch film end The easy step-down of heat setting temperature of side.Therefore, the MD percent thermal shrinkage of film is easily formed the such greatly distribution of change of film end.Cause This it is believed that producing the position that changes of the suddenly high ground of MD percent thermal shrinkage in film end periphery, become easily to produce at this position plus Tendon shape protuberance during heat conveyance.
2) the trickle variation of MD percent thermal shrinkage
Think that the situation that the MD percent thermal shrinkage of polyester film is changed with trickle spacing is also to suppress tendon shape to swell Generation the reasons why one of.
Even if the amount of change itself of polyester film MD percent thermal shrinkage is little, if the spacing changing is trickle, due to MD percent thermal shrinkage " rate of change of per unit distance " become big, so sometimes also becoming the main cause that tendon shape protuberance produces.This trickle spacing The detailed mechanism of variation do not know, but think that film is by chilling in the cooling end of stretching device, thus produce in face Trickle residual stress is uneven, causes therefrom.
Relatively thin polyester film is little due to thermal capacity, so inevitably becoming the side of chilling in the cooling end of stretching device To easily generation trickle MD percent thermal shrinkage as described above changes.Sometimes therefore become tendon shape protuberance during heating conveyance The reason.
It is believed that due to for above-mentioned 1 for conventional polyester film) and 2) countermeasure insufficient, so producing in film Raw tendon shape protuberance.
On the other hand, the manufacture method of the polyester film according to the present invention, at least in thermal finalization portion and hot wire-CVD portion In person, using heater, selective radiation heating is carried out to the end of the polyester film of width (TD direction), and, in cooling In portion, the average cooling rate in the TD direction end of film is set to average cooling rate in the central part in film TD direction 1.01 times~2 times.
Therefore, it is possible to avoid the cooling of the film TD direction end of the holding component via stretching device, the thickness of film of resulting from The chilling of the film of degree.Average cooling rate especially by the film end making in cooling end is faster than the average cooling of film central part Degree is big, can reduce the trickle variation of the MD percent thermal shrinkage of film.
As a result, already described formula is met by the relatively thin polyester film that the manufacture method of the polyester film of the present invention makes And (II) (I).
Hereinafter, for the details of the manufacture method of the polyester film of the present invention, for film forming process, longitudinal stretching Operation and each operation of cross directional stretch operation, are described in detail respectively.

The holding component holding the end in TD direction of polyester film 200 only illustrates 2a~2l in figure 3, but in order to support Polyester film 200, biaxial stretcher 100 is also equipped with holding component (not shown) in addition to 2a~2l.In addition, it is following, sometimes It is generically and collectively referred to as " holding component 2 " by holding component 2a~2l.
(a. preheating part)
In preheating part, the polyester film after longitudinal stretching in longitudinal stretching operation is preheated to the temperature that can stretch.
As shown in Figure 3, in preheating part 10, polyester film 200 is preheated.In preheating part 10, by polyester film Heated in advance so that the cross directional stretch of polyester film 200 becomes able to easily carry out before 200 stretchings.

In addition, preheating part end point refers to terminate the moment of preheating of polyester film 200, i.e. polyester film 200 is from preheating part 10 Region position away from.
(b. extension section)
In extension section, to the polyester film having preheated in preheating part along the width side vertical with length direction (MD direction) Apply tension force to (TD direction) and carry out cross directional stretch.
As shown in Figure 3, in extension section 20, by the polyester film having preheated 200 at least edge and polyester film 200 The vertical TD direction of length direction carries out cross directional stretch and applies tension force to polyester film 200.
Stretching (cross directional stretch) to the vertical direction (TD) of the length direction (conveyance direction, MD) with polyester film 200 is Refer to along being stretched with the direction of the angle of the length direction (conveyance direction, MD) vertical (90 °) of polyester film 200 but it is also possible to It is the direction of the scope of machine error.The scope of so-called machine error is length direction (the conveyance side being considered as with polyester film To, MD) direction of vertical angle (90 ° ± 5 °).
In extension section 20, the area stretch multiplying power (each stretching ratio is long-pending) of polyester film 200 is preferably gathering before stretching 6 times of the area of ester film 200~18 times, more preferably 8 times~17.5 times, more preferably 10 times~17 times.
Additionally, with regard to polyester film 200 cross directional stretch when film surface temperature (hereinafter also referred to as " transverse drawing temperature ".), When setting the glass transition temperature of polyester film 200 as Tg, preferably more than Tg-10 DEG C and less than Tg+100 DEG C, more preferably More than Tg DEG C and less than Tg+90 DEG C, more preferably more than Tg+10 DEG C and less than Tg+80 DEG C.
As described above, holding component 2a~2l can change translational speed independently of one another.Thus, for example it is it is also possible to logical The translational speed crossing the holding component 2 making the extension section 20MD direction downstream such as extension section 20, thermal finalization portion 30 is than preheating part 10 In holding component 2 translational speed fast, and concurrently enter to be about to the longitudinal direction that polyester film 200 stretches along conveyance direction (MD direction) Stretching.
The longitudinal stretching of the polyester film 200 in cross directional stretch operation can only carry out it is also possible to rear in extension section 20 Carry out in thermal finalization portion 30, hot wire-CVD portion 40 or the cooling end 50 stated.Longitudinal stretching can also be carried out in multiple positions.
(c. thermal finalization portion)
In thermal finalization portion, by have been carried out the heating of the polyester film after longitudinal stretching and cross directional stretch make its crystallization and Carry out thermal finalization.
So-called thermal finalization directly heats in the state of referring to apply tension force to polyester film 200 in extension section 20 and makes polyester Crystallization.
In thermal finalization portion 30 shown in figure 3, for the polyester film 200 being applied with tension force, preferably by polyester film 200 The highest on surface reach film surface temperature (in this specification, also referred to as " heat setting temperature ", " TThermal finalization”.) control 160 DEG C~240 DEG C scope and film is heated.
If heat setting temperature is more than 160 DEG C, polyester molecule can be fixed by the easy crystallization of polyester with elongation state Change, it is possible to increase the hydrolytic resistance of polyester film.If additionally, heat setting temperature is less than 240 DEG C, due in polyester molecule each other The part being wound around mutually is not likely to produce slip, and polyester molecule is difficult to shrink, it is possible to the fall of the hydrolytic resistance of suppression polyester film Low.In other words, heated by way of reach 160 DEG C~240 DEG C according to heat setting temperature, polyester molecule can be made Crystallization is orientated, and improves the hydrolytic resistance of polyester film.
With regard to heat setting temperature, from above-mentioned same the reasons why, preferably 170 DEG C~230 DEG C of scope, more preferably 175 DEG C~225 DEG C of scope.
In addition, it is so that thermocouple is contacted the surface of polyester film 200 and measure that highest reaches film surface temperature (heat setting temperature) Value.
And then, heat setting temperature is controlled when 160 DEG C~240 DEG C, preferably the highest on film width is reached film Face temperature deviation is set to more than 0.5 DEG C and less than 10.0 DEG C.On film width, film surface temperature is reached by the highest making film Deviation is more than 0.5 DEG C, and during conveyance in rear operation, the aspect of gauffer is favourable, additionally, by deviation suppression exists Less than 10.0 DEG C, the deviation of the crystallization degree on width can be suppressed.Thus, the lax subtractive on film width is light, The generation of the damage on the face in manufacture process can be prevented, hydrolytic resistance improves.
In above-mentioned, with regard to highest reach film surface temperature deviation, from as described above the reasons why, more preferably 0.5 DEG C Above and less than 7.0 DEG C, more preferably more than 0.5 DEG C and less than 5.0 DEG C, particularly preferably more than 0.5 DEG C and 4.0 DEG C with Under.
Additionally, the heating to film during thermal finalization can only be carried out it is also possible to carry out from both sides from the side of film.For example, When being cooled down on curtain coating drum after melt extruding in film forming process, because the polyester film having shaped is in a face and its phase The face type of cooling tossed about is different, so film becomes easily to crimp.It is therefore preferable that contacting with curtain coating drum in film forming process Face carry out the heating in this heat-setting process.By by the heating surface in heat-setting process be set to be cast drum contact face, I.e. cooling surface, can eliminate curling.
Now, heating is preferably according to the surface temperature after the firm heating on the heating surface in heat-setting process and and heating surface The mode that the surface temperature of the non-heated of opposition side is compared more than 0.5 DEG C and less than 5.0 DEG C of scope uprises is carried out.Pass through Make the temperature of heating surface during thermal finalization higher than the face of its opposition side, and the temperature difference between its table back of the body is 0.5~5.0 DEG C, permissible More effectively eliminate the curling of film.From curling eradicating efficacy from the viewpoint of, the non-heated of the opposite to that side of heating surface it Between temperature difference more preferably 0.7~3.0 DEG C of scope, more preferably more than 0.8 DEG C and less than 2.0 DEG C.
Additionally, the TD direction in the present invention, at least one of thermal finalization portion 30 and hot wire-CVD portion 40, to polyester film End carries out selective radiation heating using heater.If not carrying out described radiant heating, the TD side of made polyester film MD percent thermal shrinkage upwards will not decline, and the variable quantity of the distribution of MD percent thermal shrinkage and MD percent thermal shrinkage will not diminish, so no Legal system makes the film meeting already described formula (I) and (II).
When radiant heating being carried out to the TD direction end of film in hot wire-CVD portion 40, it is convenient to omit the spoke in thermal finalization portion 30 Penetrate heating it is also possible to carry out in both thermal finalization portion 30 and hot wire-CVD portion 40.
Wherein, so-called " the TD direction end of polyester film " refer to polyester film the edge at the two ends in TD direction and from edge to Region till the 10% of the total length (i.e., width) in the TD direction of polyester film.
The heating of the TD direction end of polyester film is carried out using the heater being capable of radiant heating, the TD side to polyester film To at least one end carry out selectivity heating.From the viewpoint of the MD thermal contraction of suppression local, preferred pair polyester film The both ends in TD direction are heated.In addition, so-called " selectivity heating " not integrally enters to the film of the end comprising polyester film Row heating, and refer to film end is partly heated.
As the heater being capable of radiant heating, such as infrared heater can be included, particularly preferably using ceramic Heater (ceramic heater).
The heating of the TD direction end of polyester film preferably adjusts surface temperature and polyester film surface and the heater of heater Distance (air line distance) and carry out.
When the surface temperature of heater is 300 DEG C~800 DEG C, preferably the distance on polyester film surface and heater is set to 20mm~250mm, more preferably heater surface temperatures are 400 DEG C~700 DEG C and are set to the distance between film-heater 50mm~200mm.
Additionally, when carrying out radiant heating, preferably the temperature deviation on film TD direction is contracted to more than 0.7 DEG C and 3.0 Scope below DEG C, thus, it is possible to mitigate the deviation of the crystallization degree on film width to less than more than 0.5%~3.0% Scope.Like this, the increase and decrease of the local of MD percent thermal shrinkage can be suppressed, the generation of tendon shape protuberance can be suppressed, can simultaneously Enough raising hydrolytic resistances further.
When thermal finalization portion is heated, preferably the holdup time in thermal finalization portion be set to more than 5 seconds and 50 seconds with Under.The so-called holdup time is film heated state duration in thermal finalization portion.If the holdup time is more than 5 seconds, Because the crystallization degree with respect to heat time heating time diminishes, so the less susceptible generation of crystallization degree deviation in width Aspect be favourable, if less than 50 seconds in addition, then due to there is no need extremely to reduce the linear velocity of stenter, so giving birth to The aspect of yield is favourable.
Wherein, with regard to the holdup time, from above-mentioned same the reasons why, preferably more than 8 seconds and less than 40 seconds, more preferably 10 Second above and less than 30 seconds.
In the present invention, at least one of thermal finalization portion and hot wire-CVD portion, radiant heating is carried out to polyester film end, But the selectivity spoke of film end can also be carried out further in both preheating part or extension section or preheating part and extension section Penetrate heating.
It is temperature deviation and the crystallization on the TD direction mitigate film to the radiant heating of the TD direction end of polyester film The heating of the deviation of degree, becomes easily to suppress the increase and decrease of the local of MD percent thermal shrinkage.
(d. hot wire-CVD portion)
In hot wire-CVD portion, the tension recovery of polyester film is removed the remnants of striping by the polyester film heating through thermal finalization Strain.
As described above, in the manufacture method of the polyester film of the present invention, in thermal finalization portion and hot wire-CVD portion at least one In person, using heater, selective radiation heating is carried out to the TD direction end of polyester film.The TD of the polyester film in hot wire-CVD portion As long as direction end selective radiation heating by with thermal finalization portion in polyester film TD direction end selective radiation Heat same method to carry out, the numerical range of heating-up temperature and preferred mode are similarly.
However, hot wire-CVD is by the polyester film heating through thermal finalization and the tension force of lax polyester film, right in hot wire-CVD portion The heating of polyester film is preferably as follows and carries out.
In hot wire-CVD portion 40 shown in figure 3, preferably reach film surface temperature according to the highest on the surface of polyester film 200 and reach The highest of the polyester film 200 in specific heat setting section 30 reaches film surface temperature (TThermal finalization) low more than 5 DEG C temperature mode to poly- The mode that ester film 200 is heated.
Hereinafter, also the highest on the surface of the polyester film 200 during hot wire-CVD is reached film surface temperature and be referred to as " hot wire-CVD temperature (THot wire-CVD)”.
In hot wire-CVD portion 40, by making hot wire-CVD temperature (THot wire-CVD) than heat setting temperature (TThermal finalization) low more than 5 DEG C of temperature Degree (THot wire-CVD≤TThermal finalization- 5 DEG C) carry out heating to release tension force (reduction tensile stress), the chi of polyester film can be improved further Very little stability.
If THot wire-CVDFor " TThermal finalization- 5 DEG C " below, then the hydrolytic resistance of polyester film is more excellent.Additionally, THot wire-CVDIn dimensional stability The aspect becoming good is preferably more than 100 DEG C.
And then, THot wire-CVDIt is preferably more than 100 DEG C and compare TThermal finalization(100 DEG C≤T of low more than 15 DEG C of temperature provinceHot wire-CVD≤ TThermal finalization- 15 DEG C), more preferably more than 110 DEG C and compare TThermal finalization(110 DEG C≤T of low more than 25 DEG C of temperature provinceHot wire-CVD≤TThermal finalization-25 DEG C), particularly preferably more than 120 DEG C and compare TThermal finalization(120 DEG C≤T of low more than 30 DEG C of temperature provinceHot wire-CVD≤TThermal finalization-30℃).
In addition, THot wire-CVDIt is the value being measured by making the surface of thermocouple contact polyester film 200.
(e. cooling end)
In cooling end, by the polyester film cooling after hot wire-CVD in hot wire-CVD portion.

Wherein, so-called cooling end outlet refers to the end of cooling end 50 when cooling end 50 leaves for the polyester 200, refers to handle The holding component 2 (in Fig. 3, holding component 2j and 2l) holding polyester film 200 leaves position during polyester film 200.
And then, in cooling end 50, preferably will make the temperature on the surface (face) of polyester film when being cooled to 70 DEG C for 150 DEG C Average cooling rate be set to 2 DEG C/sec~100 DEG C/sec of scope.
Wherein, average cooling rate is by using the film Wen Erqiu of the film in radiation thermometer actual measurement cooled region ?.That is, reached 150 DEG C of place by film temperature and the conveyance speed Sm/ second apart from Zm and film in place that film temperature reaches 70 DEG C is asked Go out (Z ÷ S) second cool time from 150 to 70 DEG C.By (150-70) ÷ (Z ÷ S) is calculated further by it, obtain averagely cold But speed.
By average cooling rate is set to more than 2 DEG C/sec, the cooling of polyester film in stretching device can be suppressed not Foot, the cohesive step-down of polyester film.Therefore, in the operation after leaving polyester film from cooling end outlet, become to be not likely to produce poly- Ester film be adhered to film conveyance roller on etc. fault.Additionally, by average cooling rate is set to less than 100 DEG C/sec, permissible Prevent the chilling of polyester film, be not likely to produce residual stress inequality in face, percent thermal shrinkage deviation can be suppressed, become to be difficult to produce Raw tendon shape protuberance.
More preferably 4 DEG C/sec~80 DEG C/sec of average cooling rate, more preferably 5 DEG C/sec~50 DEG C/sec.
But, in the manufacture method of the polyester film of the present invention, the average cooling rate of the film in cooling end is in film width Different in the central part of direction end and film width (TD direction).Specifically, will be average in film width end Rate of cooling is set to 1.01 times~2 times of the average cooling rate in the central part of film TD direction.Thus, reduce the trickle of polyester film MD percent thermal shrinkage variation, become easily to suppress the tendon shape of polyester film to swell.

" conveyance speed S1 of the polyester film in preheating part " is equivalent to holding polyester film and moves along the edge of annular orbit Holding component (in Fig. 3 be 2a~2d) translational speed.
Additionally, " conveyance speed S2 of the polyester film in the above-mentioned end of cooling end " is in cooling end and holds polyester The holding component (being to hold component 2j and 2l in Fig. 3) of film leaves the conveyance speed of polyester film during polyester film.Using Fig. 3, if In other words, then for example hold component 2j P point, in addition hold component 2l in Q point respectively away from polyester film 200 when, " cooling Conveyance speed S2 of the polyester film 200 in the above-mentioned end in portion 50 " is equivalent to polyester film 200 and exceedes the straight line linking P point and Q point When conveyance speed.If further in other words, " conveyance speed S2 of the polyester film 200 in the above-mentioned end of cooling end 50 " phase Translational speed as holding component 2j and 2l before holding component 2j and 2l and will leaving polyester film 200.
Formula (1) means after stretching polyester film 200, along TD direction relax when, preferably according to the maximum of polyester film 200 Width (length in TD direction) L1 shrink 2%~15% mode in cooling end 50 and relaxed.
Formula (2) means when polyester film 200 relaxes along MD direction, preferably according in the preheating part 10 of polyester film 200 Slow down in cooling end 50 2%~15% mode of conveyance speed S1 relaxed.
By cross directional stretch operation is set to above-mentioned composition, become easily to suppress the tendon shape of polyester film to swell.
[mathematical expression 3]
Because Δ L represents the relaxation rate in the TD direction (horizontal) of polyester film, so also Δ L is referred to as " TD relaxation rate ".This Outward, because Δ S represents the relaxation rate in the MD direction (longitudinal) of polyester film, so also Δ S is referred to as " MD relaxation rate ".
