本発明は、塗布型磁気記録媒体用二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムに関し、さらに詳しくは、磁性層を塗布する際の塗布斑を抑制できる塗布型磁気記録媒体のベースフィルムに好適な二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ポリエチレンテレフタレートは、優れた力学特性、耐熱性、耐候性、耐電気絶縁性および耐薬品性を有することから、磁気記録媒体のベースフィルムとして広く使用されている。
【0003】
かかるポリエチレンテレフタレートの製造では、重合反応を円滑に進行させるために重合触媒を用いる。この重合触媒としては、種々の金属化合物が知られているが、中でも三酸化アンチモンの如きアンチモン(Sb)化合物が安価でかつ高い重合活性を持つことから、広く使用されている。
【0004】
しかし、Sb化合物は、その一部が反応中に還元されて金属Sbやその他の異物を生成しやすい。これらの異物は、ポリエチレンテレフタレートをフィルムにした場合、得られるフィルムの表面に粗大な突起を形成したり、厚み斑を惹起したりする。特に、得られるフィルムを塗布型の磁気記録媒体のベースフィルムに使用する際に、上記の厚み斑があると、均一に磁性層を塗布することができず、得られる磁気記録媒体の電磁変換特性を悪化させたり、生産性を低下させたりすることから、強くその改善が求められてきていた。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、触媒に起因する異物の発生が少なく、塗布型の磁気記録媒体としたときに、ドロップアウトに優れた、磁気記録媒体のベースフィルムとして有用な二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムおよびそれからなるフィルムロールを提供することにある。

で表わされる芳香族多価カルボン酸との反応生成物であることのいずれかを具備する塗布型磁気記録媒体用二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムも包含するものである。
【0016】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムは、触媒としてポリエステルに可溶なチタン化合物を、また安定剤としてリン化合物を特定の割合で併用して、触媒に起因する異物を抑制したポリエステルを得、これをフィルムの原料とすることによって、幅方向における厚み斑を抑制し、磁性層を塗布する際の塗布斑を解消したものである。その観点から、フィルムの幅方向の厚み斑は、2mの範囲にある最大厚みから最小厚みを差し引いた差で、0.8μm以下であることが必要であり、さらに好ましくは0.7μm以下である。該厚み斑が上限を超えると、磁性層を塗布する際に塗布斑が発生し、結果として、電磁変換特性の優れた磁気記録媒体とすることができない。なお、ここでいう幅方向における厚み斑は、小さければ小さいほど好ましく、特に下限は制限されない。
【0017】
以下、本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムを説明する。
本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムは、エチレンテレフタレートを主たる繰返し単位とするポリエステルを、80重量%以上、好ましくは85重量%以上含有するポリエチレンテレフタレート樹脂組成物からなり、ポリエチレンテレフタレート樹脂以外の他の樹脂を、混合しても良い。また、ここでいうエチレンテレフタレート成分を主たる繰返し単位とするポリエステルとは、全繰り返し単位の80モル%以上、好ましくは85モル%以上が、エチレンテレフタレート成分からなるものである。ポリエチレンテレフタレート樹脂がエチレンテレフタレート成分以外の第3成分を共重合したものである場合、第3成分(共重合成分)としては、2,6−ナフタレンジカルボン酸、イソフタル酸、フタル酸等の如きテレフタル酸以外の芳香族ジカルボン酸、アジピン酸、アゼライン酸、セバシン酸、デカンジカルボン酸等の如き脂肪族ジカルボン酸、シクロヘキサンジカルボン酸等の如き脂環族ジカルボン酸、トリメチレングリコール、ジエチレングリコール、テトラメチレングリコール、シクロヘキサンジメタノール等のグリコールが例示でき、これらは単独で使用しても二種以上を併用してもよい。
【0018】
本発明において、フィルムを構成するポリエステル組成物は、リン化合物を含有することが必要である。用いられるリン化合物としては、リン酸、亜リン酸、ホスホン酸、ホスホネート化合物及びそれらの誘導体等があげられ、これらは単独で使用してもよく、また二種以上を併用してもよい。これらのリン化合物中、特に前記一般式(I)で表されるホスホネート化合物が好ましい。
【0019】
具体例な前記一般式(I)で表されるホスホネート化合物としては、カルボメトキシメタンホスホン酸、カルボエトキシメタンホスホン酸、カルボプロポキシメタンホスホン酸、カルボプトキシメタンホスホン酸、カルボメトキシ−ホスホノ−フェニル酢酸、カルボエトキシ−ホスホノ−フェニル酢酸、カルボプロトキシ−ホスホノ−フェニル酢酸またはカルボブトキシ−ホスホノ−フェニル酢酸のジメチル−、ジエチル−、ジプロピル−またはジブチルエステルである。
【0020】
前記一般式(I)で表されるホスホネート化合物が好ましい理由は、安定剤として通常使用されるリン化合物に比べ、チタン化合物との反応が比較的緩やかに進行する、すなわち重縮合反応中のチタン化合物の触媒活性がより長時間持続し、結果としてポリエステルへのチタン化合物の添加量が少なくできるからである。また、前記一般式(I)で表されるホスホネート化合物は、本特許のように触媒に対して多量の安定剤を添加する場合でも、ポリエステルの熱安定性を損ないにくい特性も有している。これら、リン化合物の添加時期は、エステル交換反応またはエステル化反応が実質的に終了した後であればいつでもよく、例えば、重縮合反応を開始する以前の大気圧下でも、重縮合反応を開始した後の減圧下でも、重縮合反応の末期でもまた、重縮合反応の終了後、すなわちポリマーを得た後に添加してもよい。
【0021】
本発明において、フィルムを構成するポリエステル組成物は、チタン化合物を含有することが必要である。本発明で用いるチタン化合物は、触媒に起因する異物を低減する点から、ポリエステルに可溶なチタン化合物を使用することが必要である。ポリエステルに可溶なチタン化合物としては、特に限定されず、ポリエステルの重縮合触媒として一般的なチタン化合物を使用できる。具体的には、酢酸チタンやテトラ−n−ブトキシチタンなどが挙げられる。これらの中でも、特に好ましいのは、前記一般式(II)で表わされる化合物、もしくは前記一般式(II)で表わされる化合物と前記一般式(III)で表わされる芳香族多価カルボン酸とを反応させた生成物である。なお、前記一般式(III)で表わされる芳香族多価カルボン酸は、その無水物であっても良い。
【0022】
前記一般式(II)で表わされるテトラアルコキサイドチタンとしては、R3、R4、R5およびR6がそれぞれアルキル基および/またはフェニル基であれば特に限定されないが、テトライソプロポキシチタン、テトラプロポキシチタン、テトラ−n−ブトキシチタン、テトラエトキシチタン、テトラフェノキシチタンなどが好ましく用いられる。また、かかるチタン化合物として反応させる一般式(III)で表される芳香族多価カルボン酸またはその無水物としては、フタル酸、トリメリット酸、ヘミメリット酸、ピロメリット酸およびこれらの無水物が好ましく用いられる。上記チタン化合物と芳香族多価カルボン酸またはその無水物との反応方法は、溶媒に芳香族多価カルボン酸またはその無水物の一部を溶解し、これにチタン化合物を滴下して、0〜200℃の温度で30分以上反応させる方法を好ましく挙げることができる。
【0023】
ところで、本発明において、フィルムを構成するポリエステルは、ポリエステルの全繰返し単位のモル数を基準として、ポリエステルに可溶なチタン化合物を、チタン金属元素量で、3〜10ミリモル%の範囲である。該チタン金属元素が下限未満では、ポリエステルの生産性が低下し、目標の分子量のポリエステルが得られない。また、該チタン金属元素が上限を超えると、得られるポリエステルの熱安定性が低下し、フィルム製造時の分子量低下が大きくなり、厚み斑が惹起される。尚、ここで言うポリマー中に可溶なチタン金属元素とは、エステル交換反応による第一段階反応をする場合は、エステル交換反応触媒として使用されたチタン化合物と重縮合反応触媒として使用されたチタン化合物の合計を示す。
【0024】
また、本発明において、フィルムを構成するポリエステルは、ポリエステルの全繰返し単位のモル数を基準として、チタン化合物とリン化合物を、それぞれのチタン元素量およびリン元素量で、前記式(2)および(3)の範囲で含有することが必要である。好ましい前記(P/Ti)の範囲は4〜10であり、好ましい前記(Ti+P)の範囲は20〜70である。(P/Ti)が下限未満だと、ポリマー中の重合触媒に起因する異物が生じ、結果として厚み斑を惹起する。また、(P/Ti)が10を超えるとポリエステルの重合反応性が大幅に低下し、目的のポリエステルを得ることができない。本発明の特徴の一つに、前記(P/Ti)の適正範囲が通常の金属触媒よりも極めて狭いことが挙げられ、この範囲にすることで、従来にない厚み斑の少ない二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムが得られるのである。ところで、(Ti+P)が下限に満たないと、静電印可法によるフィルム製膜プロセスにおける生産性が大きく低下し、フィルムの厚み斑が惹起される。一方、(Ti+P)が上限を超えると、触媒に起因する異物が発生し、やはりフィルムの厚み斑が惹起される。
【0025】
本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムを構成するポリエステルは、ο−クロロフェノールで35℃の雰囲気下で測定した固有粘度が、0.50〜0.80の範囲、さらに0.55〜0.75の範囲、特に0.60〜0.70の範囲にあることが好ましい。固有粘度が下限未満であると、フィルムの耐衝撃性が不足しやすい。他方、固有粘度が上限を超えると、原料ポリマーの固有粘度を過剰に引き上げる必要があり不経済である。
【0026】
本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムは、巻取り性など取扱い性を向上させるために、不活性粒子を必要に応じて添加される。二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムに含有させる不活性粒子の平均粒径は、0.05〜4.0μmの範囲であることが好ましく、その含有量は、フィルムを構成するポリエステル組成物の重量を基準として、0.01〜2.0重量%の範囲であることが好ましい。フィルムに含有させる不活性粒子は、コロイダルシリカ、多孔質シリカ、酸化チタン、炭酸カルシウム、燐酸カルシウム、硫酸バリウム、アルミナ、ジルコニア、カオリンもしくは複合酸化物などの無機粒子、または架橋ポリスチレン、アクリル系架橋粒子、メタクリル系架橋粒子もしくはシリコーン粒子等の有機粒子が挙げられる。
【0027】
本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムは、少なくとも磁性層を設けられる側の表面の中心面平均粗さ(WRa)が0.5〜10nmの範囲にあることが好ましい。より好ましいWRaの範囲は、1〜8nm、特に1.5〜5nmである。該WRaが下限未満だと、製膜工程あるいは磁気テープの製造工程におけるパスロールとフィルムのすべり性が悪くなり、フィルムが削れたり、磁気記録媒体としたときにドロップアウトが多くなったりすることがある。一方WRaが上限を超えると、磁性層を塗布したとき磁性面が粗くなり、十分な電磁変換特性が得られ難くなる。
【0028】
本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムは、その厚みが2〜30μm、特に3〜20μmの範囲であることが好ましい。該厚みが下限未満だと、フィルムが伸び易く、他方、厚みが上限を超えると、結果として得られる磁気記録媒体の記録容量化を低下させてしまう。
【0029】
本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムは、従来から知られている、あるいは当業界に蓄積されている方法、すなわち前述のチタン化合物とリン化合物を用いて、ポリエチレンテレフタレート樹脂組成物を作成し、それを溶融状態でシート状に押出して未配向フィルムを製造し、次いで該未配向フィルムを従来から蓄積された二軸配向フィルムの製造法に準じて、延伸処理することで製造できる。
【0030】
さらに詳述すると、本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムを構成するポリエステルは、テレフタル酸とエチレングリコールを直接エステル化反応させてから重縮合反応させるか、ジメチルテレフタレートなどのエステル形成性誘導体とエチレングリコールとをエステル交換反応させて重縮合反応させることで製造できる。この際、得られるポリエステル中のリン化合物およびチタン化合物は、前述の説明の範囲になるように調整することが必要である。ポリエステルの製造方法に制限はないが、本発明ではエステル交換反応を経由する製造方法が、直接エステル化反応をさせる製造方法よりも、重縮合反応中にリン化合物の飛散が少ないことから好ましい。また、エステル交換反応を経由する製造方法では、触媒として添加するチタン化合物の添加量を低減できる、すなわち、チタン化合物の一部および/または全量をエステル交換反応開始前に添加し、チタン化合物をエステル交換反応触媒および重縮合反応触媒として兼用する製造方法が好ましい。さらに、更にエステル交換反応を0.05〜0.20MPaの加圧下で実施すると、より触媒として添加するチタン化合物の添加量を低減できるので好ましい。エステル交換反応時の圧力が、0.05MPa以下では、チタン化合物の触媒作用による反応の促進が充分部は無く、一方0.20MPa以上では、副生成物として発生するジエチレングリコールのポリマー中の含有量が著しく増加し、ポリマーの熱安定性等の特性が劣ってしまう。
【0031】
ところで、上述の通り、本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムを構成するポリエステルは、得られるフィルムの厚み斑を無くすために、ポリエステルに可溶なチタン化合物を用いる。したがって、チタン化合物以外の触媒は、実質的に含まないことが好ましい。なお、ここでいう実質的に含まないとは、触媒中の金属元素の量が、該ポリエステル組成物の前繰返し単位のモル数を基準として、高々10ミリモル%、好ましくは高々5ミリモル%、さらに好ましくは0ミリモル%であることを意味する。
【0032】
つぎに、上記の方法によって得られたポリエステルは、溶融状態にした後、スリットからシート状に押出され、未配向フィルムとされる。得られた未配向フィルムは、一軸方向(製膜方向又は幅方向)に(Tg−10)〜(Tg+70)℃の温度(但し、Tg:ポリエステルのガラス転移温度)で2.5〜7.0倍の倍率で延伸し、次いで上記延伸方向と直交する方向にTg(℃)〜(Tg+70)℃の温度で2.5〜7.0倍の倍率で延伸され、二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムとされる。この際、製膜方向の延伸倍率と幅方向の延伸倍率とを掛け合わせた面積延伸倍率は、9〜35倍、さらには12〜32倍の範囲であることが好ましい。得られた二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムは、さらに(Tg+70)℃〜Tm(℃)の温度(例えばポリエチレンテレフタレートフィルムの場合、190〜230℃)で熱固定することが好ましい。熱固定時間は1〜60秒が好ましい。
【0033】
本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムは、本発明の目的を損なわない範囲で、他の層を積層したものでもよい。具体的には、溶融押出しで未配向フィルムを製造する際に、組成の異なる他のポリエステルを積層状態で共押出して、積層二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムとしたり、本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムの少なくとも片面に、接着性や易滑性を目的に塗膜層を設けたりすることが挙げられ、これらはそれ自体公知の方法を採用できる。ただ、厚み斑を抑制する観点から、積層体の厚みに対して、本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムの厚みは、少なくとも50%であることが好ましい。

【発明の効果】
本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムは、フィルムを構成するポリエステルが触媒に起因する異物を抑制されていることから、厚み斑が極めて小さく抑えられる。したがって、本発明の二軸配向ポリエステルフィルムを、塗布型の磁気記録媒体のベースフィルムとして用いれば、磁性層を塗布する際の塗布斑が抑制され、均一な厚みの磁性層を有する、すなわち電磁変換特性に優れ、ドロップアウトの少ない磁気記録媒体を生産性良く製造できる。[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a biaxially oriented polyester film for a coating type magnetic recording medium, and more particularly to a biaxially oriented polyester film suitable for a base film of a coating type magnetic recording medium capable of suppressing coating spots when a magnetic layer is coated. .
[0002]
[Prior art]
Polyethylene terephthalate is widely used as a base film for magnetic recording media because it has excellent mechanical properties, heat resistance, weather resistance, electrical insulation resistance and chemical resistance.
[0003]
In the production of such polyethylene terephthalate, a polymerization catalyst is used in order to allow the polymerization reaction to proceed smoothly. As the polymerization catalyst, various metal compounds are known. Among them, antimony (Sb) compounds such as antimony trioxide are widely used because they are inexpensive and have high polymerization activity.
[0004]
However, a part of the Sb compound is easily reduced during the reaction to generate metal Sb and other foreign matters. These foreign substances, when polyethylene terephthalate is used as a film, form coarse protrusions on the surface of the resulting film or cause thickness spots. In particular, when the obtained film is used as a base film of a coating type magnetic recording medium, if there is the above-mentioned thickness unevenness, the magnetic layer cannot be uniformly coated, and the electromagnetic conversion characteristics of the resulting magnetic recording medium It has been strongly demanded to improve the quality of products and reduce productivity.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention relates to a biaxially oriented polyester film useful as a base film of a magnetic recording medium, which is excellent in dropout when it is used as a coating type magnetic recording medium with little occurrence of foreign matters due to a catalyst, and a film roll comprising the same Is to provide.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention uses a polyester compound soluble in polyester as a catalyst and a phosphorus compound as a stabilizer in a specific ratio to obtain a polyester that suppresses foreign matters resulting from the catalyst. By using the film as a raw material, thickness unevenness in the width direction is suppressed, and application unevenness when applying the magnetic layer is eliminated. From that viewpoint, the thickness unevenness in the width direction of the film is required to be 0.8 μm or less, more preferably 0.7 μm or less, as a difference obtained by subtracting the minimum thickness from the maximum thickness in the range of 2 m. . When the thickness unevenness exceeds the upper limit, application unevenness occurs when the magnetic layer is applied, and as a result, a magnetic recording medium having excellent electromagnetic conversion characteristics cannot be obtained. The thickness unevenness in the width direction here is preferably as small as possible, and the lower limit is not particularly limited.
[0017]
Hereinafter, the biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention will be described.
The biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention is composed of a polyethylene terephthalate resin composition containing 80% by weight or more, preferably 85% by weight or more of a polyester having ethylene terephthalate as a main repeating unit, and is a resin other than polyethylene terephthalate resin. May be mixed. Further, the polyester having an ethylene terephthalate component as a main repeating unit here is composed of an ethylene terephthalate component at 80 mol% or more, preferably 85 mol% or more of all repeating units. When the polyethylene terephthalate resin is a copolymer of a third component other than the ethylene terephthalate component, the third component (copolymerization component) may be terephthalic acid such as 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, isophthalic acid, phthalic acid, etc. Aromatic dicarboxylic acids such as aromatic dicarboxylic acids, adipic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, decanedicarboxylic acid, etc., cycloaliphatic dicarboxylic acids such as cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, trimethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, tetramethylene glycol, cyclohexane Glycols such as dimethanol can be exemplified, and these may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0018]
In the present invention, the polyester composition constituting the film needs to contain a phosphorus compound. Examples of the phosphorus compound used include phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, phosphonic acid, phosphonate compounds and derivatives thereof, and these may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these phosphorus compounds, the phosphonate compound represented by the general formula (I) is particularly preferable.
[0019]
Specific examples of the phosphonate compound represented by the general formula (I) include carbomethoxymethanephosphonic acid, carboethoxymethanephosphonic acid, carbopropoxymethanephosphonic acid, carboptoxymethanephosphonic acid, carbomethoxy-phosphono-phenylacetic acid. Dimethyl, diethyl, dipropyl or dibutyl esters of carboethoxy-phosphono-phenylacetic acid, carboprotoxy-phosphono-phenylacetic acid or carbobutoxy-phosphono-phenylacetic acid.
[0020]
The reason why the phosphonate compound represented by the general formula (I) is preferable is that the reaction with the titanium compound proceeds relatively slowly as compared with the phosphorus compound usually used as a stabilizer, that is, the titanium compound during the polycondensation reaction. This is because the catalytic activity of the catalyst lasts for a longer time, and as a result, the amount of the titanium compound added to the polyester can be reduced. Further, the phosphonate compound represented by the general formula (I) has a characteristic that even when a large amount of stabilizer is added to the catalyst as in this patent, the thermal stability of the polyester is hardly impaired. These phosphorus compounds may be added at any time after the transesterification or esterification reaction is substantially completed. For example, the polycondensation reaction was started even under atmospheric pressure before the polycondensation reaction was started. It may be added at a later reduced pressure, at the end of the polycondensation reaction, or after completion of the polycondensation reaction, that is, after the polymer is obtained.
[0021]
In the present invention, the polyester composition constituting the film needs to contain a titanium compound. The titanium compound used in the present invention needs to use a titanium compound that is soluble in polyester from the viewpoint of reducing foreign matters caused by the catalyst. The titanium compound soluble in the polyester is not particularly limited, and a general titanium compound can be used as a polyester polycondensation catalyst. Specific examples include titanium acetate and tetra-n-butoxy titanium. Among these, the compound represented by the general formula (II) or the compound represented by the general formula (II) and the aromatic polyvalent carboxylic acid represented by the general formula (III) are particularly preferable. Product. The aromatic polyvalent carboxylic acid represented by the general formula (III) may be an anhydride thereof.
[0022]
The tetraalkoxide titanium represented by the general formula (II) is not particularly limited as long as R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 are an alkyl group and / or a phenyl group, respectively, but tetraisopropoxy titanium, Tetrapropoxy titanium, tetra-n-butoxy titanium, tetraethoxy titanium, tetraphenoxy titanium and the like are preferably used. The aromatic polyvalent carboxylic acid represented by the general formula (III) to be reacted as the titanium compound or its anhydride includes phthalic acid, trimellitic acid, hemimellitic acid, pyromellitic acid and their anhydrides. Preferably used. The reaction method of the titanium compound and the aromatic polyvalent carboxylic acid or its anhydride is obtained by dissolving a part of the aromatic polyvalent carboxylic acid or its anhydride in a solvent, dropping the titanium compound in this, A preferred example is a method of reacting at a temperature of 200 ° C. for 30 minutes or more.
[0023]
Incidentally, in the present invention, the polyester constituting the film, based on the number of moles of all repeating units of the polyester, a soluble titanium compound in the polyester, at the amount of titanium metal element in the range of 3 to 10 mmol%. When the titanium metal element is less than the lower limit, the productivity of the polyester is lowered, and a polyester having a target molecular weight cannot be obtained. On the other hand, when the titanium metal element exceeds the upper limit, the thermal stability of the resulting polyester is lowered, the molecular weight is lowered during film production, and thickness spots are caused. In addition, the titanium metal element soluble in the polymer referred to here is a titanium compound used as a transesterification reaction catalyst and a titanium used as a polycondensation reaction catalyst when performing a first stage reaction by transesterification. The sum of the compounds is shown.
[0024]
Further, in the present invention, the polyester constituting the film is composed of a titanium compound and a phosphorus compound based on the number of moles of all repeating units of the polyester, with the above-mentioned formulas (2) and ( It is necessary to contain in the range of 3). The preferable range of (P / Ti) is 4 to 10, and the preferable range of (Ti + P) is 20 to 70. When (P / Ti) is less than the lower limit, foreign matter resulting from the polymerization catalyst in the polymer is generated, and as a result, thickness spots are caused. On the other hand, if (P / Ti) exceeds 10, the polymerization reactivity of the polyester is significantly lowered, and the desired polyester cannot be obtained. One of the features of the present invention is that the appropriate range of the (P / Ti) is extremely narrower than that of a normal metal catalyst. A film is obtained. By the way, when (Ti + P) is less than the lower limit, the productivity in the film forming process by the electrostatic application method is greatly reduced, and the film thickness unevenness is caused. On the other hand, when (Ti + P) exceeds the upper limit, foreign matters caused by the catalyst are generated, and the thickness unevenness of the film is also caused.
[0025]
The polyester constituting the biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention has an intrinsic viscosity measured with o-chlorophenol at 35 ° C. in the range of 0.50 to 0.80, and further 0.55 to 0.75. It is preferable that it exists in the range, especially the range of 0.60-0.70. If the intrinsic viscosity is less than the lower limit, the impact resistance of the film tends to be insufficient. On the other hand, if the intrinsic viscosity exceeds the upper limit, it is necessary to raise the intrinsic viscosity of the raw polymer excessively, which is uneconomical.
[0026]
In the biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention, inert particles are added as necessary in order to improve handleability such as winding property. The average particle size of the inert particles contained in the biaxially oriented polyester film is preferably in the range of 0.05 to 4.0 μm, and the content thereof is based on the weight of the polyester composition constituting the film. The range is preferably 0.01 to 2.0% by weight. The inert particles included in the film are inorganic particles such as colloidal silica, porous silica, titanium oxide, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, barium sulfate, alumina, zirconia, kaolin or composite oxide, or crosslinked polystyrene and acrylic crosslinked particles. And organic particles such as methacrylic crosslinked particles or silicone particles.
[0027]
The biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention preferably has a center plane average roughness (WRa) of at least 0.5 to 10 nm on the surface on which the magnetic layer is provided. A more preferable range of WRa is 1 to 8 nm, particularly 1.5 to 5 nm. If the WRa is less than the lower limit, the slip property of the pass roll and the film in the film forming process or the magnetic tape manufacturing process is deteriorated, and the film may be scraped or the dropout may be increased when used as a magnetic recording medium. . On the other hand, if WRa exceeds the upper limit, the magnetic surface becomes rough when the magnetic layer is applied, and it is difficult to obtain sufficient electromagnetic conversion characteristics.
[0028]
The biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention preferably has a thickness in the range of 2 to 30 μm, particularly 3 to 20 μm. If the thickness is less than the lower limit, the film tends to be stretched. On the other hand, if the thickness exceeds the upper limit, the resulting recording capacity of the magnetic recording medium is reduced.
[0029]
The biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention is a polyethylene terephthalate resin composition prepared by using a method known in the art or accumulated in the art, that is, using the aforementioned titanium compound and phosphorus compound. It can be manufactured by extruding into a sheet in a molten state to produce an unoriented film, and then subjecting the unoriented film to a stretching treatment according to the production method of a biaxially oriented film accumulated conventionally.
[0030]
More specifically, the polyester constituting the biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention is obtained by subjecting terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol to direct esterification and then polycondensation reaction, or ester-forming derivatives such as dimethyl terephthalate and ethylene glycol. Can be produced by transesterification and polycondensation reaction. At this time, it is necessary to adjust the phosphorus compound and the titanium compound in the obtained polyester so as to be in the range described above. Although there is no restriction | limiting in the manufacturing method of polyester, in this invention, the manufacturing method which passes through transesterification is preferable from the scattering of a phosphorus compound during a polycondensation reaction rather than the manufacturing method which makes an esterification reaction directly. In addition, in the production method via transesterification, the amount of titanium compound added as a catalyst can be reduced, that is, a part and / or whole amount of the titanium compound is added before the transesterification reaction is started, and the titanium compound is esterified. A production method which is also used as an exchange reaction catalyst and a polycondensation reaction catalyst is preferred. Furthermore, it is preferable to carry out the transesterification reaction under a pressure of 0.05 to 0.20 MPa since the amount of the titanium compound added as a catalyst can be further reduced. When the pressure during the transesterification reaction is 0.05 MPa or less, there is not a sufficient acceleration of the reaction due to the catalytic action of the titanium compound. On the other hand, when the pressure is 0.20 MPa or more, the content of diethylene glycol generated as a by-product in the polymer is low. This significantly increases the properties of the polymer such as thermal stability.
[0031]
By the way, as above-mentioned, the polyester which comprises the biaxially-oriented polyester film of this invention uses a titanium compound soluble in polyester, in order to eliminate the thickness spot of the film obtained. Therefore, it is preferable that a catalyst other than the titanium compound is substantially not contained. The term “substantially free” as used herein means that the amount of the metal element in the catalyst is at most 10 mmol%, preferably at most 5 mmol%, based on the number of moles of the preceding repeating unit of the polyester composition. Preferably it means 0 mmol%.
[0032]
Next, after the polyester obtained by the above method is made into a molten state, it is extruded into a sheet form from a slit to form an unoriented film. The obtained unoriented film has a temperature of (Tg-10) to (Tg + 70) ° C. in the uniaxial direction (film forming direction or width direction), where Tg is the glass transition temperature of the polyester, and is 2.5 to 7.0. The film is stretched at a magnification of 2 times, and then stretched at a magnification of 2.5 to 7.0 times at a temperature of Tg (° C.) to (Tg + 70) ° C. in a direction orthogonal to the stretching direction to obtain a biaxially oriented polyester film. . At this time, the area draw ratio obtained by multiplying the draw ratio in the film forming direction and the draw ratio in the width direction is preferably in the range of 9 to 35 times, more preferably 12 to 32 times. The obtained biaxially oriented polyester film is preferably heat-set at a temperature of (Tg + 70) ° C. to Tm (° C.) (for example, 190 to 230 ° C. in the case of a polyethylene terephthalate film). The heat setting time is preferably 1 to 60 seconds.
[0033]
The biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention may be obtained by laminating other layers within a range that does not impair the object of the present invention. Specifically, when producing an unoriented film by melt extrusion, other polyesters having different compositions are coextruded in a laminated state to form a laminated biaxially oriented polyester film, or at least the biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention. For example, a coating layer may be provided on one side for the purpose of adhesion and easy slipping, and a method known per se can be employed. However, from the viewpoint of suppressing thickness unevenness, the thickness of the biaxially oriented polyester film of the present invention is preferably at least 50% with respect to the thickness of the laminate.
