Abstract

Abstract A process for producing a porous resin film containing a polyolefin resin as a main component, comprising meltinig a mixture of (A) 100 parts by weight of a polyolefin resin, (B) 0 to 50 parts by weight of a polyester-polyether type thermoplastic elastomer, and (C) a thermoplastic polyester resin having an instrinsic viscosity of not more than 0.5, the amount of the component (C) being from 25 to 90 part by weight per 100 parts of the total amount of the component (A) and the component (B), by heating the mixture at a temperature of not less than the melting temperature of the component (C); kneading the mixture at a shear rate of not less than 200/sec. while cooling the mixture to a temperature of not more than the crystallization temperature of the component (C) and not less than the melting temperature of the component (A); subjecting the mixture to film-forming at a temperature of less than the melting temperature of the component (C) and not less than the melting temperature of the component (A) and cooling the resultant rapidly to obtain a non-stretched film; and stretching the non-stretched film in at least one direction. The porous film obtained by the process has an excellent water proof and an excellent water vapor permeability.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 190 words
A process for producing a porous resin film comprising the steps of: melting a mixture of (A) 100 parts by weight of a polyolefin resin, (B) 0 to 50 parts by weight of a polyester-polyether type thermoplastic elastomer, and (C) a thermoplastic polyester resin having an intrinsic viscosity of not more than 0.5, the amount of the component (C) being from 25 to 90 parts by weight per 100 parts of the total amount of the component (A) and the component (B), by heating the mixture at a temperature of not less than the melting temperature of the component (C); kneading the mixture at a shear rate of not less than 200/sec. while cooling the mixture to a temperature of not more than the crystallization temperature of the component (C) and not less than the melting temperature of the component (A); subjecting the mixture to film-forming at a temperature of less than the melting temperature of the component (C) and not less than the melting temperature of the component (A) and cooling the resultant rapidly to obtain a non-stretched film; and stretching the non-stretched film in at least one direction.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 190 words
A process for producing a porous resin film comprising the steps of: melting a mixture of (A) 100 parts by weight of a polyolefin resin, (B) 0 to 50 parts by weight of a polyester-polyether type thermoplastic elastomer, and (C) a thermoplastic polyester resin having an intrinsic viscosity of not more than 0.5, the amount of the component (C) being from 25 to 90 parts by weight per 100 parts of the total amount of the component (A) and the component (B), by heating the mixture at a temperature of not less than the melting temperature of the component (C); kneading the mixture at a shear rate of not less than 200/sec. while cooling the mixture to a temperature of not more than the crystallization temperature of the component (C) and not less than the melting temperature of the component (A); subjecting the mixture to film-forming at a temperature of less than the melting temperature of the component (C) and not less than the melting temperature of the component (A) and cooling the resultant rapidly to obtain a non-stretched film; and stretching the non-stretched film in at least one direction.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 35 words
The process of claim 1, in which the non-stretched film is stretched in a stretching ratio of not less than 1.5 in each of the longitudinal and transverse directions to give a biaxially stretched film.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 56 words
The process of claim 2, in which the biaxially stretched film is further subjected to a heat relaxation treatment at a temperature of less than the melting temperature of the component (A) so that the film is shrunk to have an area which is not more than 0.9 time the area before the heat relaxation treatment.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 30 words
The process of claim 3, in which the heat relaxation treatment is carried out by passing the film through a pair of hot rolls and another pair of hot rolls.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 21 words
The process of claim 1, in which the amount of the component (B) is from 1 to 50 parts by weight.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 21 words
The process of claim 1, in which the amount of the component (B) is from 5 to 50 parts by weight.
