Patent Application
20140030518
The present invention relates to a surface protective film. The surface protective film of the present invention has a base material layer and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and is used in, for example, an application where a surface of a display member or an image recognition member is protected by attaching the film to the surface.
A surface protective film may be attached to a surface of a display member or an image recognition member for preventing the flaw, dirt, and the like of the surface.
Such surface protective film is manually attached in many cases. When the surface protective film is manually attached as described above, there is a problem in that air bubbles are involved between an adherend and the surface protective film in many cases.
A technology involving adding a plasticizer to a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer of the surface protective film to improve its wettability has been reported as a technology for preventing the air bubbles from being involved between the adherend and the surface protective film when the surface protective film is manually attached to the adherend (Patent Literature 1).
However, when the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to which the plasticizer has been added is used, there is a problem in that the adherend is contaminated by the plasticizer.
In addition, when the surface protective film is manually attached to the adherend, light peelability as well as wettability is required. This is because the surface protective film attached to the adherend is attached to the adherend again after having been peeled and then used as a protective film again. When its peelability is heavy, the surface protective film deforms upon peeling of the surface protective film even in the case where its wettability is good, with the result that the surface protective film can no longer be used as a protective film again. Accordingly, such reworkability that the protective film can be attached any number of times without air bubbles and can be peeled without its deformation has been required.
Further, when the surface protective film is manually attached to the adherend, antistatic property as well as wettability is required in many cases. The same surface protective film is subjected to manual attachment and manual peeling any number of times in many cases. Hence, when the adherend is not subjected to an antistatic treatment, a peeling electrification voltage of the adherend to be generated upon peeling of the protective film becomes larger, resulting in a failure. For example, foreign matter is collected in the adherend to contaminate an optical member. In addition, in the optical member such as a polarizing plate, when a voltage is applied to liquid crystal in a large amount of static electricity, alignment of liquid crystal molecules may be lost or defects may occur in a panel.
The present invention has been made to solve the conventional problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a novel surface protective film that can express sufficiently high antistatic property even without the use of any antistatic agent, can express sufficiently high wettability even without the use of any plasticizer, and is excellent in reworkability (light peelability).

Any appropriate material can be adopted as a material for the base material layer depending on applications. Examples of the material include a plastic, paper, a metal film, and a nonwoven fabric. Of those, a plastic is preferred. The materials may be used alone or in combination to construct the base material layer. For example, the layer may be constructed of two or more kinds of plastics.
Examples of the plastic include a polyester-based resin, a polyamide-based resin, and a polyolefin-based resin. Examples of the polyester-based resin include polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, and polyethylene naphthalate.

The base material layer may contain any appropriate additive as required. Examples of the additive that can be contained in the base material layer include an antioxidant, a UV absorbing agent, a light stabilizer, an antistatic agent, a filler, and a pigment. The kind, number, and amount of the additive that can be contained in the base material layer can be appropriately set depending on purposes. In particular, when the material for the base material layer is a plastic, it is preferred to contain some of the above-mentioned additives for the purpose of, for example, preventing deterioration. From the viewpoint of, for example, the improvement of weather resistance, particularly preferred examples of the additive include an antioxidant, a UV absorbing agent, a light stabilizer, and a filler.
Any appropriate antioxidant can be adopted as the antioxidant. Examples of such antioxidant include a phenol-based antioxidant, a phosphorus-based processing heat stabilizer, a lactone-based processing heat stabilizer, a sulfur-based heat stabilizer, and a phenol-phosphorus-based antioxidant. The content of the antioxidant is preferably 1 part by weight or less, more preferably 0.5 part by weight or less, still more preferably 0.01 to 0.2 part by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the base resin of the base material layer (when the base material layer is a blend, the blend is the base resin).
Any appropriate UV absorbing agent can be adopted as the UV absorbing agent. Examples of such UV absorbing agent include a benzotriazole-based UV absorbing agent, a triazine-based UV absorbing agent, and a benzophenone-based UV absorbing agent. The content of the UV absorbing agent is preferably 2 parts by weight or less, more preferably 1 part by weight or less, still more preferably 0.01 to 0.5 part by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the base resin that forms the base material layer (when the base material layer is a blend, the blend is the base resin).

The content of the filler is preferably 20 parts by weight or less, more preferably 10 parts by weight or less, still more preferably 0.01 to 10 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the base resin that forms the base material layer (when the base material layer is a blend, the blend is the base resin).
Further, a surfactant, an inorganic salt, a polyhydric alcohol, a metal compound, an inorganic antistatic agent such as carbon, and low molecular-weight and high molecular-weight antistatic agents each intended to impart antistatic property are also preferably given as examples of the additive. Of those, a high-molecular weight antistatic agent or carbon is particularly preferred from the viewpoints of contamination and the maintenance of pressure-sensitive adhesiveness.
<A-2. Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Layer>
The thickness of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is preferably 1 to 100 μm, more preferably 3 to 50 μm, still more preferably 5 to 30 μm.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is constructed of a pressure-sensitive adhesive. The pressure-sensitive adhesives may be used alone or in combination.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive preferably contains a polymer P as a main component. The content of the polymer P in the pressure-sensitive adhesive is preferably 50 wt % or more, more preferably 80 wt % or more, still more preferably 90 wt % or more, particularly preferably 95 wt % or more.
The polymer P may be a cross-linked polymer.
Any appropriate pressure-sensitive adhesive can be adopted as the pressure-sensitive adhesive for constructing the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. Examples of such pressure-sensitive adhesive include a silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, a urethane-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, an acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesive, and a rubber-based pressure-sensitive adhesive. Of those, a silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesive and a urethane-based pressure-sensitive adhesive are preferred as the pressure-sensitive adhesive because the effect of the present invention can be additionally expressed.
Any appropriate silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesive can be adopted as the silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesive. A product obtained by blending or agglomerating a silicone resin can be preferably adopted as such silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesive.
Examples of the silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesive include an addition reaction-curable silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesive and a peroxide-curable silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesive. Of those silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesives, an addition reaction-curable silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesive is preferred because a peroxide (such as benzoyl peroxide) is not used and no decomposition product is produced.
For example, when a polyalkylsilicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesive is obtained, a method involving curing a polyalkylhydrogensiloxane composition with a platinum catalyst is generally given as a curing reaction for the addition reaction-curable silicone-based pressure-sensitive adhesive.
Any appropriate urethane-based pressure-sensitive adhesive may be adopted as the urethane-based pressure-sensitive adhesive. As such urethane-based pressure-sensitive adhesive, there are preferably given one formed of a urethane resin obtained by a reaction of a polyol and a polyisocyanate compound. Examples of the polyol include a polyether polyol, a polyester polyol, a polycarbonate polyol, and a polycaprolactone polyol. Examples of the polyisocyanate compound include diphenylmethane diisocyanate, tolylene diisocyanate, and hexamethylene diisocyanate.
Any appropriate additive can be contained in the pressure-sensitive adhesive for constructing the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. Examples of such additive include a softener, a tackifier, a surface lubricating agent, a leveling agent, an antioxidant, a corrosion inhibitor, a light stabilizer, a UV absorbing agent, a heat stabilizer, a polymerization inhibitor, a silane coupling agent, a lubricant, an inorganic or organic filler, a metal powder, a pigment, and a solvent. However, in the present invention, the pressure-sensitive adhesive for constituting the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is preferably free of any antistatic agent. This is because the use of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to which the antistatic agent has been added improves the antistatic property but may cause the contamination of the adherend by the antistatic agent. In addition, in the present invention, the pressure-sensitive adhesive for constituting the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is preferably free of any plasticizer. This is because the use of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer to which the plasticizer has been added improves the wettability but may cause the contamination of the adherend by the plasticizer.
The pressure-sensitive adhesive for constructing the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can be produced by any appropriate method. The pressure-sensitive adhesive for constructing the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer can be produced, for example, as described below. While a polymerization method to be generally employed as an approach to synthesizing a polymer, such as solution polymerization, emulsion polymerization, bulk polymerization, suspension polymerization, or polymerization with ultraviolet light (UV) is employed, any appropriate cross-linking method is adopted, and any appropriate additive is used as required.
The surface protective film of the present invention can be used in any appropriate application. The surface protective film of the present invention is preferably used for the surface of a display member or an image recognition member.
A display member covered with the surface protective film of the present invention can be subjected to manual attachment and manual peeling any number of times.
An image recognition member covered with the surface protective film of the present invention can be subjected to manual attachment and manual peeling any number of times.
The surface protective film of the present invention can be produced by any appropriate method. The production can be performed in conformity with, as such production method, any appropriate method of producing a pressure-sensitive adhesive film, such as:
(1) a method involving applying a solution of the pressure-sensitive adhesive in a solvent or a hot-melt liquid thereof to the base material;
(2) a method involving transferring the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer applied and formed in a separator fashion in conformity with the foregoing;
(3) a method involving extruding a material for forming the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer onto the base material to form and apply the layer;
(4) a method involving extruding the base material and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in two layers or a plurality of layers;
(5) a method involving laminating a single layer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer onto the base material or a method involving laminating two layers of a laminate layer and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer; or
(6) a method involving laminating two layers, or a plurality of layers, of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and a material for forming the base material such as a film or a laminate layer.
Examples of the application method include methods each involving the use of a bar coater, a gravure coater, a spin coater, a roll coater, a knife coater, or an applicator.
The method involving applying a solution of the pressure-sensitive adhesive in a solvent or a hot-melt liquid thereof to the base material is particularly preferred as the method of producing the surface protective film of the present invention in terms of productivity and a cost.
Hereinafter, the present invention is described specifically by way of examples. However, the present invention is by no means limited to these examples. It should be noted that test and evaluation methods in the examples and the like are as described below. In addition, the term “part(s)” means “part(s) by weight.”

After having been left to stand under an environment of 23° C.×25% RH for 1 hour, the sample was set to a predetermined position. The one end portion protruding by 30 mm was fixed to an automatic winder, and then peeling was performed so that the peel angel was 150° and the peel rate was 10 m/min.
