FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view of a low gloss sheet 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The low gloss sheet 100 includes a substrate 120 and a low gloss layer 140. In some embodiments, the substrate 120 includes polyester, such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) or the like, but is not limited thereto. In some other embodiments, the polyester may also include a copolymer of polyesters or a mixture of polyesters.


The low gloss layer 140 is disposed on the substrate 120. The low gloss layer 140 is also referred to as a “matted layer.” The low gloss layer 140 includes a polyester 142 and a matting agent 144. In one embodiment, the polyester 142 may be such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) or the like, but is not limited thereto. In some other embodiments, the polyester 142 may include a copolymer of polyesters or a mixture of polyesters.


The matting agent 144 includes a plurality of first particles 144a and a plurality of second particles 144b. An average particle diameter d50 of the first particles 144a ranges from 8 μm to 10 μm, such as 8.3 μm, 8.6 μm, 8.8 μm, 9.2 μm, 9.6 μm, or 9.8 μm. An average particle diameter d50 of the second particles 144b ranges from 3 to 6 μm, such as 3.3 μm, 3.6 μm, 3.9 μm, 4.2 μm, 4.6 μm, 4.8 μm, 5.2 μm, 5.6 μm, or 5.8 μm.


In some embodiments, an oil absorption of the first particles 144a ranges from 10 ml/100 g to 40 ml/100 g, preferably from 12 ml/100 g to 35 ml/100 g, such as 15 ml/100 g, 20 ml/100 g, 25 ml/100 g, or 30 ml/100 g. In some embodiments, the oil absorption of the second particles 144b ranges from 30 ml/100 g to 100 ml/100 g, preferably from 35 ml/100 g to 80 ml/100 g, more preferably from 40 ml/100 g to 60 ml/100 g, such as 45 ml/100 g, 50 ml/100 g, or 55 ml/100 g.


In some embodiments, the first particles 144a include talcum powder, calcium carbonate powder or a combination thereof, and the second particles 144b include talcum powder. It is noted that the talcum powder of the first particles 144a and the talcum powder of the second particles 144 may have different average particle diameters d50. Specifically, the average particle diameter d50 of the talcum powder of the first particles 144a may range from 8 μm to 10 μm, and an average particle diameter d50 of the talcum powder of the second particles 144b may range from 3 μm to 6 μm.


It is noted that the first particles 144a and the second particles 144b are both necessary components of the matting agent 144 for certain technical effects in the present disclosure. If the matting agent 144 includes only the first particles 144a, the surface of the low gloss layer 140 will exhibit a noticeable graininess, thereby reducing the aesthetics of the low gloss layer 140. If the matting agent 144 includes only the second particles 144b, the gloss of the low gloss layer 140 may remain high, and thereby the appearance of the low gloss layer 140 is less exquisite.


A weight percentage of the matting agent 144 may range from 4 wt % to 10 wt %, such as 5 wt %, 6 wt %, or 8 wt %, based on the total weight of the low gloss layer 140. Preferably, the weight percentage of the matting agent 144 may range from 7 wt % to 9 wt %, based on the total weight of the low gloss layer 140. It is noted that if the weight percentage of the matting agent 144 is greater than 10 wt %, the impact strength of the low gloss sheet 100, which is subsequently formed, may be reduced, thereby fails to meet the common requirements on using polyester sheet for packaging. If the weight percentage of the matting agent 144 is less than 4 wt %, the gloss of the low gloss layer 140 may remain high, and thereby the appearance of the low gloss layer 140 is less exquisite. In some embodiments, a weight percentage of the first particles 144a may range from 1 wt % to 5 wt %, and a weight percentage of the second particles 144b may range from 2 wt % to 7wt %, based on the total weight of the low gloss layer 140. In some embodiments of the present disclosure, the weight percentage of the second particles 144b may range from 1 wt % to 6 wt % based on the total weight of the low gloss layer 140.


In one preferred embodiment, the weight percentage of the matting agent 144 ranges from 7 wt % to 9 wt %, in which the weight percentage of the first particles 144a and the second particles 144b ranges from 1 wt % to 5 wt % and 4 wt % to 6 wt % respectively, based on the total weight of the low gloss layer 140. It is noted that the gloss of the low gloss layer 140 is further decreased in this preferred embodiment.


In some embodiments, a thickness t1 of the low gloss sheet 100 may range from 500 to 1400 μm, such as 600 μm, 800 μm, 1000 μm, or 1200 μm, and a thickness t2 of the low gloss layer 140 may range from 40 to 70 μm, preferably from 50 to 60 μm, such as 52 μm, 54 μm, 56 μm, or 58 μm. In some embodiments, a gloss of the low gloss layer 140 is less than or equal to 65 GU at a measuring angle of 60°.


The present disclosure also provides a matte product. The matte product is produced from the low gloss sheet 100 by a forming process. In some embodiments, the forming process includes a stretching process, such as a uniaxial stretching process or a biaxial stretching process. In one example, a stretch ratio of the stretching process ranges from about 2 to 4, such as 2.5, 3, or 3.5. In some embodiments, a gloss of the matte product is less than or equal to 30 GU at a measuring angle of 60°.

The preparation of Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-5 are described below.


Example 1

Preparation of matting agent masterbatch: the calcium carbonate powder and the talcum powder 3000H were mixed homogeneously to form a mixture. The ratio of the calcium carbonate powder and the talcum powder 3000H are shown in Table 2. The mixture was mixed with PET particles (Model No. CB600H, available from Far Eastern New Century Corporation) by using a twin screw extruder (Model No. PSM50, available from Sine-Alloy Machinery Inc.) to prepare the matting agent masterbatch.


Preparation of low gloss sheet: a low gloss sheet was prepared from the matting agent masterbatch and PET by using a multilayer sheet co-extrusion machine (Model No. CL38879, available from Leader Extrusion Machinery Company Ltd.). The formed low gloss sheet included a substrate and a low gloss layer disposed thereon. The substrate was a PET substrate. The low gloss layer included PET and the matting agent dispersed therein. A total thickness of the low gloss sheet was 600 μm, and a thickness of the low gloss layer was 55 μm. The thicknesses were measured by using a scanning electron microscope (Model No. JSM-6390LV, manufactured by JEOL Ltd., Japan). In addition, Gloss 60° of the low gloss layer was 60 GU, which was measured by using a gloss meter (Model No. GL0030, manufactured by TQC Therminport Quality Control B.V).


Examples 2-10 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were prepared in a manner similar to Example 1, except that the matting agent material and matting agent content in the low gloss layer were altered. The matting agent material and matting agent content of Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-5 are listed in Table 2.


It is noted that Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-5 have the following differences. In Examples 1-10, particles with an average particle diameter d50 of 8 μm to 10 μm and particles with an average particle diameter d50 of 3 μm to 6 μm were used for the matting agent includes. No matting agent was used in Comparative Example 1. The matting agent in Comparative Example 2 was silicon dioxide powder (with an average particle diameter d50 of 8.5 μm). The matting agent in Comparative Example 3-4 was calcium carbonate powder (with an average particle diameter d50 of 8.5 μm). The matting agent in Comparative Example 5 was talcum powder 1250H (with an average particle diameter d50 of 5.8 μm).

Next, the low gloss sheet of each Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were subjected to a biaxial stretching process. Specifically, the low gloss sheet was preheated to become soft. The heating time was 100 seconds, and the heating temperature was 88° C. After that, the low gloss sheet was stretched and prepared into a matte product in a stretch ratio of 2.3 by using a biaxial stretching machine (Model No. KARO IV, manufactured by Brückner Maschinenbau GmbH).


Subsequently, some properties of the matte product of Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-5 were measured. The properties include Gloss 60° of the low gloss layer of the matte product, tensile modulus (unit: kgf/cm2), tensile strength (unit: kgf/cm2), elongation at break (unit: %), and impact strength (unit: g/mm) of the matte product. The tensile modulus, tensile strength, and elongation at break of the matte product were measured by using a tensile testing machine (Model No. 5900, manufactured by Instron). The impact strength of the matte product was measured by using a drop tower impact system (Model No. CEAST 9350, manufactured by Instron). The results of Examples 1-10 and Comparative Examples 1-5 are listed in Table 3.


In Table 3, the term “Gloss 60° before stretching” refers to the gloss level of the low gloss layer of the low gloss sheet at a measuring angle of 60°. The term “Gloss 60° after stretching” refers to the gloss level of the low gloss layer of the matte product at a measuring angle of 60°. N/A means no data available.

In general, commercial applications have specific requirements on the mechanical properties of packaging materials, including tensile modulus of not less than 18000 kgf/cm2, tensile strength of not less than 500 kgf/cm2, elongation at break of not less than 400%, and impact strength of not less than 1650 g/mm.


In Table 3, it can be seen that the Gloss 60° before stretching of Examples 1-10 are less than or equal to 60 GU. In contrast, the Gloss 60° before stretching of Comparative Examples 1-5 ranges from 70 to 155 GU. Therefore, the Gloss 60° before stretching of Examples 1-10 are lower than that of the Comparative Examples 1-5.


In addition, the Gloss 60° after stretching of Examples 1-10 are no more than 25 GU. In contrast, the Gloss 60° after stretching of Comparative Examples 1-5 ranges from 55 to 156 GU. Therefore, the Gloss 60° after stretching of Examples 1-10 is lower than that of Comparative Examples 1-5. It is noted that the gloss of the low gloss sheet in the present disclosure is significantly reduced after stretching. For example, the gloss of Example 8 decreased from 31 to 3. In contrast, the conventional PET sheet with added particles (such as Comparative Examples 1-5) still not meet the required limitation of low gloss although the gloss of Comparative Examples 1-5 were reduced after stretching. Therefore, the low gloss sheet of the present disclosure has advantages in the application on any related fields that involves stretching and forming techniques, such as application in packaging materials. In particular, the low gloss sheet of the present disclosure remains a low surface gloss after heating and stretching, thereby easing the manufacturing process and having a broad variety of applications.


On the other hand, it is noted that the gloss of Examples 5-10 are lower than that of Examples 1-4. Specifically, the Gloss 60° before stretching of Examples 5-10 is less than or equal to 35 GU, and the Gloss 60° after stretching of Examples 5-10 is no more than 7 GU.


In Table 3, it can be seen that Examples 1-10 also exhibit excellent mechanical properties. The tensile modulus, tensile strength, elongation at break and impact strength of Examples 1-10 are close to or even better than those of Comparative Examples 1-5. The mechanical properties of Comparative Example 2 are poor. It is surmised that because the silicon dioxide powder in Comparative Example 2 tends to aggregation in nature, so that the silicon dioxide powder is poorly dispersed in the low gloss layer, resulting in poor mechanical properties and low-resistant to stretching and impact.


In summary, the low gloss sheet and the matte product prepared therefrom of the present disclosure have a low surface gloss and good mechanical properties. The low gloss surface is maintained even after the low gloss sheet is subjected to heating and stretching processes. Therefore, the low gloss sheet in the present disclosure has a broad variety of applications in the packaging industry and exhibit an exquisite appearance.
