Abstract
The invention relates to a polyester film incorporating at least one UV stabilizer of the formula I, in which R1 is hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, heterocycloalkyl, aryl, or heteroaryl, and R2 is a moiety which contains at least one π-electron system, which contains a carbon atom and at least one further atom selected from carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen, where the moiety R2 contains at least one atom different from carbon, where the film includes at least one further UV absorber which does not correspond to the formula I. The invention further relates to a process for producing the film, and also to articles formed from the film.
Claims18
A polyester film comprising at least one UV stabilizer of the formula I,
- wherein
- R1 is hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, heterocycloalkyl, aryl, or heteroaryl, and
- R2 is a moiety which contains at least one π-electron system, which contains a carbon atom and at least one further atom selected from carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen, where the moiety R2 contains at least one atom different from carbon;
- and
- wherein
- the film-thickness-standardized concentration of said UV stabilizer(s) of formula I (CnI), when two or more different compounds of formula I are used CnI means the total concentration of all of the compounds of formula I, in said film complies with the following Equation 1:
- CnI=CI·d Equation 1
- where
- d=film thickness in μm;
- CI=total concentration of all of the compounds of formula I in said film in % by weight;
- CnI=standardized total concentration of all of the compounds of formula I in said film in % by weight·μm
- and is CnI≧4% by weight·μm and ≦60% by weight·μm;
- said film comprising at least one further UV absorber which does not correspond to the formula I having at least one absorption maximum above 340 nm, present in an amount of 5 to 400 by weight based on of the amount of Formula I,
- wherein the F5 values (force at 5% tensile strength of said film), longitudinally (MD) and transversely (TD) are >70 N/mm2 and said film does not visibly fluoresce within the visible region from 400 to 700 nm.
A polyester film comprising at least one UV stabilizer of the formula I,
- wherein
- R1 is hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, heterocycloalkyl, aryl, or heteroaryl, and
- R2 is a moiety which contains at least one π-electron system which contains a carbon atom and at least one further atom selected from carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen, where the moiety R2 contains at least one atom different from carbon;
- said film comprising at least one further UV absorber which does not correspond to the formula I having at least one absorption maximum above 340 nm;
- said film having a transparency which is
- (a) below 90% at 400 nm,
- (b) below 50% at 390 nm,
- (c) below 20% at 360 nm,
- (d) below 30% at 330 nm, and
- (e) above 3% at 400 nm,
- said film further comprising one or more optional additives consisting of free-radical scavengers, heat stabilizers, antiblocking agents or white pigments,
- and said film does not visibly fluoresce within the visible region from 400 to 700 nm.
