SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Problem to be Solved by the Invention

However, when such sheet materials are heated to temperatures in the vicinity of 200-250° C. using a contact type heating device, the shape of the mold-releasing film (e.g., Teflon®) that is mounted on a heating platen of the contact heating device can give rise to a poor appearance being transferred to the sheet materials.


For this problem, it is believed that the countermeasure is due to the preset temperature for the heating platen being relatively low, which by itself is frequently the reason why sufficient precise molding is not obtained.


The object of the present invention is to provide a resin composition sheet that when used in the manufacture of product packaging such as carrier tapes, and the like. the molding temperatures can be lowered from 260-280° C. to 200-250° C., even when heated to relatively high temperatures using a contact heating device through a mold-releasing film, and poor appearance due to the replication of features of the mold-releasing film is unlikely to occur.


Means to Solve the Problem

(1)


The resin composition sheet relating to one aspect of the present invention comprises polycarbonate resin, amorphous polyester resin, and silicate compound filler.


When the resin composition sheet as described above, when it is supplied for the manufacture of product packaging such as carrier tapes, and the like, the molding temperature can be lowered from 260-280° C. to 200-250° C., even when heated to relatively high temperatures using a contact heating device through a mold-releasing film, and poor appearance due to the replication of features of the mold-releasing film is unlikely to occur.


(2)


In the resin composition sheet relating to the aspect in (1) above, a silicate compound filler is preferably added as 1 part by weight or more and 3 parts by weight or less when the total amount of polycarbonate resin and amorphous polyester resin is taken as 100 parts by weight.


With the abovedescribed amount of silicate compound filler added, even when heated to relatively high temperatures using a contact heating device through a mold-releasing film, along with making poor appearance due to the replication of features of the mold-releasing film is unlikely to occur. good appearance of product packing such as carrier tapes and the like can be maintained, and furthermore good flexibility of product packaging such as carrier tapes and the like can be maintained.


(3)


In the resin composition sheet relating to the aspects in (1) or (2) above, polycarbonate resin is preferably added as 30 parts by weight or more and 80 parts by weight or less when the total amount of polycarbonate resin and amorphous polyester resin is taken as 100 parts by weight.


When the amount of polycarbonate resin added is as described above product packaging such as carrier tapes, and the like, obtained from the resin composition sheet satisfactorily meet the required physical properties.


(4)

With the amorphous polyester resin as described above; product packaging such as carrier tapes, and the like, obtained from the resin composition sheet will exhibit superior physical properties.


(5)


In the resin composition sheet relating to the aspects in any of (1) through (3) above, the amorphous polyester resin is preferably composed of at least 1 type of dicarboxylic acid-derived unit selected from the group comprising terephthalic acid-derived units and terephthalic acid derivative-derived units, and glycol-derived units including less than 50 mol % of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol-derived units.

(6)


The resin composition sheet relating to the aspects in any of (1) through (6) above further preferably contains conductive carbon black. However, the absorbed oil content of this conductive carbon black is 130 cm3/100 g or more, and the pH is 8 or higher. Furthermore, this conductive carbon black is present in the resin composition sheet in the condition of being dispersed in a blend of the polycarbonate resin and amorphous polyester resin. In addition, the absorbed oil content of this conductive carbon black in the present invention is the absorbed oil content of dibutyl phthalate (DBP) as measured according to JIS K6221, JIS K6217, or ASTM D2414, or the absorbed oil content of paraffin oil as measured according to ASTM D2414. Additionally, in the present invention, the pH of the conductive carbon black can be obtained by measurement of a mixture solution of conductive carbon black and distilled water using a glass electrode pH meter.


The carbon black having the abovementioned physical properties is dispersed within the resin composition sheet, which not only can impart electrical conductivity to the resin composition sheet, but can lower the moisture content of the resin composition sheet, and the product packaging will have a good appearance when the resin composition sheet is supplied for the manufacture of product packaging such as carrier tapes, and the like.


(7)


In the resin composition sheet relating to aspect (6) above, the conductive carbon black preferably has a volatile portion of 0.3 wt % or less. Furthermore, in the present invention, the volatile portion of the conductive carbon black can be obtained from the reduction in weight measured when the conductive carbon black is heated to 950° C. for 7 minutes.

(8)


In the resin composition sheet relating to the aspects in (6) or (7) above, conductive carbon black is preferably added as 5 parts by weight or more and 25 parts by weight or less when the total amount of polycarbonate resin and amorphous polyester resin is taken as 100 parts by weight.


Addition of the abovementioned amount of the conductive carbon black having the abovementioned physical properties imparts good conductivity to the resin composition sheet without substantially impairing the mechanical properties thereof.


(9)


A method for molding the resin composition sheet relating to another aspect of the present invention includes a heating step and a molding step. In the heating step, the abovementioned resin composition sheet is heated through contact with a heating medium having a mold releasing film interposed therebetween. In the molding step, the resin composition sheet that was heated in the heating step is molded into a predetermined shape. Furthermore, when the resin composition sheet is molded into a carrier tape, the resin composition sheet is molded into a concave shape in the molding step.


As mentioned above, along with lowering the molding temperature from 260-280° C. to 200-250° C. in the molding method for this resin composition sheet, it is unlikely that replication of mold-releasing film features on the resin composition sheet will occur.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

The resin composition sheet of the present invention, when used in the manufacture of products packaging such as carrier tapes, and the like, along with the possibility of lowering the molding temperature from 260-280° C. to 200-250° C., even when heated to relatively high temperatures using a contact heating device through a mold-releasing film interposed therebetween, has the characteristic that the replication of mold-releasing film features is unlikely to occur, and in particular is useful as an original fabric for product packaging such as in carrier tapes, injection trays, vacuum formed trays, magazines and the like.
