Abstract
A thermoplastic film capable of providing a film capable of suppressing the occurrence of retardation and having excellent optical characteristics by reducing the occurrence of strain caused by the polishing roller method, and a method for producing the film are provided. A molten resin is extruded from a die in a sheet shape, supplied between a pair of polishing rollers sandwiched by pressure with the pair of polishing rollers and cooled to form a cellulose acylate film. At least one polishing roller is composed of a metal elastic roll.
Claims15
A method for producing a thermoplastic resin film, comprising the steps of:
- extruding a molten thermoplastic resin from a die in a sheet shape;
- and
- forming a film by cooling and solidifying the sheet-shaped thermoplastic resin while sandwiching the sheet-shaped thermoplastic resin with a pair of rollers having an arithmetic average surface roughness Ra of 100 nm or less and made up of rolls at least one of which is an elastic roll made of a metal, wherein
- the pair of rollers satisfy all of the following equations (1), (2) and (3):
- when X (° C.)=a glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin Tg (° C.)—a temperature of the elastic roll (° C.), and Y is a line speed (m/min),
- 0.0043X2+0.12X+1.1≦Y≦0.019X2+0.73X+24 (1),
- when Z represents a radial thickness of the outer cylinder of the elastic roll,
- 0.05 mm<Z<7.0 mm (2), and
- when Q cm represents a length of the portion of the pair of rollers where they are in contact with each other via the sheet-shaped thermoplastic resin, and P (kg/cm) represents a linear pressure for sandwiching the sheet-shaped thermoplastic resin with the pair of rollers,
- 3 kg/cm2<P/Q<50 kg/cm2 (3).
