Oriented film easy to split and method of producing the same.

0001The present invention is related to a film easy to split and a production method thereof, e.g. a base film for the bag to pack foods, medicines, industrial products and so on.

0002In recent years, films such as linear chain low density polyethylene (L-LDPE) have been widely used for a seal base film (sealant) of the bag to pack foods, medicines and so on. However, this L-LDPE film was safe to pack contents because the seal strength was excellent, but on the other hand, because a split resistance was too big to cut the film straight along a predetermined direction when opening up. In consideration of these problems, various inventions have been proposed to give the film features of ease to split and to be cut straight.

0003Examples: (a) a laminated film using a uniaxial oriented film for a middle layer film (Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 58-38320 bulletin, Japanese Patent Application Publication no. 55-31725 bulletin); (b) a laminated film made easier to split by being put minute blemish to the surface thereof; (c) a (laminated) film with a tape for the opening attached to an opening part; and so on.

0004In the laminated film (a) mentioned above, because one layer is added as the middle layer film, the material cost and the processing cost to laminate films on top of one another increase. The uniaxial oriented film is used as a middle layer film but its use does not contribute to the strength any more. In the laminated film (b), even if the ease to open can be improved by putting minute blemishes on the film, the ease to cut straight is under control of the feature of the base material itself. Even if the blemishes put on the surface are few, there is fear of decreasing the strength. As for the film (c), because the tape for the opening is additionally used, the cost becomes higher, which may cause the decline of the productivity.

0005Also, conventionally, the plastic film was heat-treated to fix a film molecular orientation after biaxially oriented by Tubular method for the purpose of getting stability of the dimension. In the heat-treatment, when a film of tubular nylon 6 folded flatly is heat-treated by the tenter method, the upper and lower films are melted by heat and stick to each other and thereafter it is impossible to separate into two sheets, whereby the film processed by means of prior art was unusable as a product. These problems are conspicuously seen when a plastic film is a crystalline thermoplastic resin film like a polyamide. Formerly, to solve the technical problems, one improved tenter method (Japanese Patent Application Publication no. 46-15439 bulletin) was proposed, wherein the film folded flat after being biaxially oriented in tubular situation is separated into two films by cutting both edges in the direction of the width, and they are introduced into the tenter in the condition where the both edges of each film are held with clips to keep a certain clearance between each film. Incidentally, adopting the tubular method, where the tubular film formed into a bubble shape by compression of air is heat-treated, can solve the problem of sticking of films by heat. However, though in the heat treatment based on the above-mentioned improved tenter method, the films do not stick to each other, the bowing phenomenon (a phenomenon where a delay in the orientation at the central part occurs compared with both side parts) conspicuously occurred. Though lowering a heat treatment temperature naturally decreases the bowing ratio, it brings about a new problem of increasing the shrinkage percentage in the heat treatment of the boil, retort and so on. The purpose of the present invention is to provide an oriented film easy to split which features the excellent ease to split, the ease to cut straight and the enough impact strength and also to provide a production method of the oriented film easy to split to obtain these features effectively. <ul id="ul0001" list-style="none"><li>(A) The oriented film easy to split based on the present invention means a film including nylon (Ny) and meat-xylene adipamide (MXD6). The weight ratio of the above mentioned Ny and MXD6 is 40-85:60-15. The orientation ratio in the production process of the film in MD direction (the direction of the movement of the film), and TD direction (the width direction of the film) are respectively 2.8 and over. <ul id="ul0002" list-style="none"><li>(A-a) In a case that nylon 66 (Ny66) is used as an example of Ny. The weight ratio between Ny66 and MXD6 is for example, 40-85:60-15 but 50-80:50-20 is more desirable. When the ratio of MXD6 is smaller than 15, the ease to split and the ease to cut straight tend to become worse. Oppositely, when the ratio of MXD6 is more than 60, the practicality becomes poor because the impact strength falls substantially. On the other hand, Ny66 is contained for the sake of heat resistance of the oriented film easy to split. The production of the oriented film easy to split is conducted by first mixing Ny66 and MXD6 at weight ratio of 40-85:60-15, fusing and extruding it, and orienting a raw film obtained by cooing down at the magnification ratio of 2.8 and over in the directions of MD and TD. Incidentally, though the raw film is oriented at the magnification ratio of 2.8 and over, the desirable ratio is 3.0 and over. It is because when the orientation ratio is smaller than 2.8 times, the ease to split and the ease to cut straight become worse. The impact strength also decreases, so there is a problem in practical use. Incidentally, the term "orientation" used already several times means a simultaneous biaxial orientation based on the tubular method. Besides, it is possible to add an addition to the oriented film easy to split based on the present invention if necessary. Available additions are anti-blocking pill (inorganic filler and so on), water repeller (ethylene-dis-stearic acid ester and so on), lubricant (stearic acid calcium and so on) and so on. Incidentally, the oriented film easy to split according to the present invention can laminate with other films. </li><li>(A-b) In a case that nylon 6-66 copolymer (Ny6-66) is used as an example of Ny. Though the weight ratio between Ny6-66 and MXD6 is, for example, 40-85:60-15, 50-80:50-20 is more desirable. When the ratio of MXD6 is out of the above-mentioned range, the characteristic of MXD6 is the same as the case of Ny66 which was already explained in (A-a) column. Ny6-66 is contained for the purpose of giving the oriented film easy to split shrinkage. The production condition of this oriented film easy to split is the same as the case that Ny66 is used. Incidentally, like the case of Ny 66 mentioned above, it is possible to use this oriented film easy to split, too, as one film in a laminated film easy to split having more than one layers of films. The laminated film easy to split comprising of an oriented film easy to split as the 1st layer film, a film of various kinds as the 2nd layer film, and a sealant film as the 3rd layer film is taken for example. Incidentally, the composition of the 1st layer film and the 2nd layer film can be reversed. Biaxially oriented, uniaxial oriented or non-oriented film made of PET (poly ethylene terephthalate), EVOH (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer saponification one), PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), PP (polypropylene), PVDC (polyvinylidene chloride), HDPE (high density polyethylene), PS (polystyrene) and so on are suitable material for the basic film as the 2nd layer film. In addition, of course, it is possible to use a metallic film like aluminum foil as the base film, too. For the material for the sealant film as the 3rd layer film, L-LDPE (linear chain low density polyethylene), LDPE (low density polyethylene), HDPE (high density polyethylene), EVA (ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer), PB (polybutene-1), CPP (non-orienting polypropylene), ionomer, PMMA (poly methyl methacrylate) and so on are suitable and the mixture of these can be used as the material of the sealant film, too. As for the laminate method in the laminated film easy to split, in which more than one films are laminated on top of one another, an extrusion laminate, a hot melt laminate, a dry laminate, and a wet laminate are suitable. </li><li>(A-c) In a case that nylon 6 (Ny6) is used as an example of Ny. Especially when it is used as the 1st layer of two layers    and laminated with the 2nd layers of EVOH at the thickness    ratio of 2:1-1:2. In this case, the weight ratio of Ny6 and MXD6 in the 1st layer is 40-85:60-15 but 50-80:50-20 is more desirable. When MXD6 is out of the above-mentioned range, the characteristic is the same as the case that Ny66 is used explained in the column (A-a). When laminating the layer comprising of EVOH, an oriented film easy to split can be expected to have the feature of gas barrier. The ethylene content of EVOH in the 2nd layer is, for example, 25-45 mol % but 29-38 mol % is more desirable. When the ethylene content is smaller than 25 mol %, the 2-layer forming is difficult. When it is bigger than 45 mol %, the gas barrier feature cannot be expected. As for the thickness ratio between the 1st layer and the 2nd layer, when the thickness of the 1st layer becomes smaller than half of the thickness of the 2nd layer, the ease to split which is the purpose of the present invention is lowered. Incidentally, on the condition of laminating the 1st layer and the 2nd layer as one, further laminating is optionally possible. The examples are shown in the attached Figures 1-4. Figure 1 shows a film having the 3-layer structure where the 1st layer 31 is laminated on both surfaces of the 2nd layer 32. Figure 2 shows a film having the 2-layer structure where the 1st layer 31 and the 2nd layer 32 are laminated. Figure 3 shows a film having the 5-layer structure where the 3rd layer 33 of ny 6 is laminated on the both surfaces of the 3-layer structure shown in Figure 1. Figure 4 shows a film having the 3-layer structure where the 2nd layer 32 is laminated on the both surfaces of the 1st layer 31. Incidentally, the thickness of each film which is shown in Figures 1-4 is optionally determined but it is about 8-50 micrometers as a standard. It is possible to laminate the above-mentioned film on other films on the condition that the 1st and 2nd layers are laminated as one. The examples are shown in Figures 5 and 6. Incidentally, in these figures, the oriented film easy to split is considered one of more than one films consisting of laminated films to make the explanation easier. Concretely, Figure 5 shows a laminated film easy to split comprising two sheets of base material films 41 and 42, the oriented film 43 easy to split, the sealant film 44 laminated in this order. Figure 6 shows another laminated film easy to split comprising three kinds of films, wherein the film easy to split 43 and the sealant film 44 are laminated to one base film 41. </li><li>(A-d) In a case that the oriented film easy to split with nylon 6(Ny6) is used as the 2nd layer and a layer containing Ny6 and MXD6 as the 1st and 3rd layer is laminated thereto. The weight ratio of Ny6 and MXD6 in the 1st and 3rd layers is 60-95:40-5. The MXD content against Ny6 in the 2nd layer is greater than those in the 1st and the 3rd. In this case, the weight ratio of Ny6 and MXD6 in the 1st and 3rd layers is 60-95:40-5, but 70-90:30-10 is more desirable. When Ny6 content is smaller than 60, the pinhole resistance declines. Oppositely, when Ny content is larger than 95, the ease to cut straight, which is the purpose of the present invention, declines. The thickness ratio in the 1st-3rd layer is e.g. 1:8:1-4:2:4, but 15:70:15-35:30:35 is more desirable. Also, the thickness ratio between the 1st (or the 3rd) and the 2nd layer is, e.g. 1:8-2:1, but 15:70-35:30 is more desirable. Incidentally, when this ratio is smaller than 1/8, the pinhole resistance declines. Also, the thickness ratio between the 1st layer and the 3rd layer is 1:2-2:1. Figure 7 shows a film having the 3-layer structure wherein the 1st layer 31, the 2nd layer 32 and the 3rd layer 33 are laminated in this order, but as long as the 1st-3rd layers are united into one, the laminating order of each layer does not matter. As in the cases of above-mentioned columns (A-a) - (A-c), this oriented film easy to split can be laminated with other films on the condition that the 1st-3rd layers are laminated as one. </li><li>(A-e) In a case that a sealant film is laminated against the oriented film easy to split with nylon 6(Ny6) and more than one other films are further laminated. The examples are shown in Figures 8 and 9. Figure 8 shows a laminated film having the 3-layer structure wherein a sealant film 44 as the 1st layer film, an oriented film easy to split 43 as the 2nd layer film, and a base film 41 as the 3rd layer film are laminated in this order. Figure 9 shows another laminated film having the 4-layer structure wherein base films 41 and 42 as the 1st and 2nd layer films, an oriented film 43 easy to split as the third layer film, and a sealant film 44 as the 4th layer film are laminated in this order </li></ul></li><li>(B) The method of producing the above-explained oriented film easy to split in the present invention comprises the steps of: producing a raw film by fusing and extruding a raw material mixture containing nylon (Ny) and meta-xylene adipamide (MXD6) at the weight ratio of 40-85:60-15 from an extruder; orienting biaxially the raw film with an orientation ratio of 2.8 and over in MD direction and TD direction by the tubular method; folding the oriented film flat; and heat-treating the folded film. <ul id="ul0003" list-style="none"><li>(B-a) Before the step of fusing and extruding by the extruder, an additional step of kneading the raw material mixture by fusing at the temperature of 300 degrees centigrade and under can be added. When additionary providing a process of kneading the raw material mixture by fusing at the temperature of 300 degrees and under, an excellent precision of the thickness can be gained. A kneading machine which is used in a manufacturing process of the fusion kneading of the raw material mixture can be optionally selected, but a biaxial kneading machine is desirable. Also, the temperature of fusion in the case of kneading by fusion should be kept at 300 degrees centigrade and under because the fabricability in orientation is lowered at the temperature higher than 300 degrees. Also, it will lower an impact strength and a ease to cut straight of the oriented film ease to split. </li><li>(B-b) In the step of biaxial orientation using the tubular method, it is desirable that the temperature should be controlled along the circumference direction of the bubble-like raw film so that a heating temperature in the side part in the width direction when folding the bubble-like raw film may be lower than that in other parts which will be used as a product later. By controlling a heating condition at the time of the biaxial orientation, the bowing phenomenon which is in the reverse direction of bowing phenomenon which occurs in the latter heat treatment process is caused intentionally, by which the reduction of bowing ratio is achieved. To expect such an operation, it is necessary to control temperature of the heater to heat the side part in the width direction when folding the bubble-like raw material film and the heater to heat other parts which will be used as a product later. The temperature of the heater to heat the side part of the direction of the width of the bubble-like raw film is made to be 10-100 degrees centigrade, desirably, 20-90 degrees lowered than the average temperature of all the heaters. Also, the temperature of the heater to heat the other part which is used as a product is made to be 10-100 degrees, desirably 20-90 degrees higher than he average temperature of all the heaters. Incidentally, when the temperature difference of each heater is less than 10 degrees centigrade, the bowing phenomenon in reverse direction does not reach the expected condition and when the temperature difference of each heater is more than 100 degrees, the shape of bubble does not become stable. In order to separately control the temperature of the heater to heat the side part of the direction of the width when folding a film and the heater to heat the other part which is used as a product, for example, two heaters to heat the side part in the width direction of the bubble-like raw film and two heaters to heat the other part which is used as a product need to be provided. Also, because the temperature inclination covering all the circumference of the bubble-like raw film should be as gentle as possible, it is desirable to prepare more than four heaters to improve the heat control over the film. Moreover, it is desirable to heat the bubble-like raw film so that the heating temperature at the end in the film width direction may be lowest and that at the center part of other parts which is used as a product may be highest. But, the heat treatment of the raw film should be done at the temperature lower than the melting point of the film (220 degrees centigrade).</li><li>(B-c) The heat treatment of the film folded flatly should be done through two steps; the first heat treatment process at the temperature of 120-190 degrees by the tubular method and the second heat treatment process at the temperature of 190-220 degrees by the tenter method.</li></ul></li></ul>

0006Because the 2-stage heat treatment can check bowing, the ease to cut straight along the width direction at an optional place of the film obtained as a product is improved. Also, the adhesion and stickiness by fusion which often occurred in the process of heat treatment can be prevented. The first heat treatment by the tubular method is done with the temperature range of 120-190 degrees for example, but 140-190 is desirable. When the temperature is lower than 120 degrees, a curling of the film is too big, so that both side parts are difficult to be held. Also, when the temperature is higher than 190 degrees, because films stick to each other by fusion, it is impossible to separate such a stuck film into two sheets after the 1st heat treatment process. Incidentally, it is desirable that the heat treatment time is one second and over. When it is under 1 second, a heat fixation tends to be insufficient. Though there is no upper limit of heat treatment time, the longer the treatment time becomes, the larger orientation equipment is required, which makes the cost higher. Therefore, the heat treatment time should normally be between 1-30 seconds. In the first process of heat treatment, the film relaxation ratio is set to be 15% and under (in MD direction and/or TD direction), and desirably, it should be set to be 10% and under. By giving the film the heat treatment in the condition of relaxing it a little, a crystallinity of the film is improved and the reduction of relaxation ratio is achieved and consequently, the film with dimensional stability is obtained. In the heat treatment by the tubular method, the bowing ratio is 0. Moreover, because a shrinkage stress falls, a bowing ratio caused by the second heat treatment process declines. In other words, anisotropy of the material nature in the width direction of the film reduces and as a result, the ease to cut straight is improved further.

0007The 2nd process of the heat treatment by the tenter method is done with the temperature range of 190-220 degrees, but it should be 190-215 degrees desirably. When it is lower than 190 degrees, a shrinkage ratio becomes big and isn't desirable. Also, when it is higher than 220 degrees, a fusion among films occurs and it is impossible to roll them as products of two sheets. Incidentally, the condition of heat treatment time is the same as the case of the heat treatment of the above-mentioned 1st process. In the 2nd process of heat treatment, the film relaxation ratio is set to be 15% and under, but to be 10% and under desirably. It is also desirable that after the first step of heat treatment, the both ends of the width direction of the film are cut open to separate them into two and that the 2nd process of heat treatment should be done with air contained between the both films. Moreover, as for the heat treatment process of the film folded flat, it is possible to implement the heat treatment of the 1st process based on tenter method instead of above-mentioned tubular method. The heat treatment temperature in this case is, e.g. 120-190 degrees, but 140-190 degrees is desirable. When lower than 120 degrees, two sheets of film are fused in the 2nd process of the heat treatment and the stability with the ease to cut straight is lowered. On the other hand, when higher than 190 degrees, in the first process of the heat treatment, the fusion of two sheets occurs. Incidentally, the condition of the relaxation ratio of the film and the heat treatment time by this tenter method are the same as in the case of the tubular method.

Experimental example 1

0022First, a raw film 11 (see Figure 12) is obtained by fusing and kneading a material mixture containing nylon 66 (Ny66) and meta-xylene adipamide (MXD6) at the weight ratio of 80:20 in an extruder at the temperature of 280 degree, subsequently extruding the fused material from an accompanied dice with the diameter of 90 mm into a cylinder-like film and cooling the thus-obtained film down with water. Nylon 66 produced by Ube Kosan Co. LTD. (the tradename: UBE nylon 2026, a relative viscosity = 3.5) is used as Ny66 in this experimental example 1. Also, meta-xylene adipamide produced by Mitsubishi Gas Chemicals Co.Ltd. (the tradename: MX nylon 6007, a relative viscosity = 2.7) is used as MXD6 in this example. As shown in Figure 12, the raw film 11 is inserted into the pair of pinch rollers 12 and then heated from the outside by a heater 13 with an air forced into the inside. Near a starting point when the raw film 11 begins to biaxially orient and grow into a bubble 16, an air 15 is blown from an airing 14. Incidentally, the bubble 16 is continuously drawn into a pair of pinch rollers 17. Through these steps, the simultaneous biaxial orientation is conducted in MD and TD directions according to the tubular method, wherein the orientation ratios in both directions are 3.0. The biaxial oriented film obtained in such a way is then sent to a heat treat furnace based on the tenter method, whereby the film is heat-fixed at 210 degrees centigrade and becomes a biaxial oriented film. Incidentally, this biaxial oriented film is the oriented monolayer film easy to split containing Ny66 and MXD6. The oriented film easy to split (a 15-micrometer thickness) is used as the base film for the surface and is laminated with L-LDPE film as a sealant film (Tradename: Unilax LS-722C, produced by Idemitsu Petrochemical Co.Ltd. 50 micrometers thickness) according to the dry-laminate method and then it becomes laminated film easy to split of this experimental example. This laminated film easy to split can be made into a bag easy to split by being processed in a bag making machine. In the attached Table 1, the measurement results of the tear strength and the impact strength for the oriented monolayer film easy to split and the evaluation results of the ease to split and the ease to cut straight are shown. As for the laminated film easy to split, too, the ease to split and the ease to cut straight are estimated and the results are shown in Table 2. Also, in the Table 2, the results of strength against falling tests are also shown for the purpose of evaluating the practicality of the bag made of the laminated film easy to split. Incidentally, as for the split strength, it is done by measuring Elemendorf split strength (kg/cm) following JIS-Z1702 in the direction of the orientation of the film. Also, the impact strength is measured by using a film-impact tester produced by Toyo Seiki Co.Ltd., wherein the impact strength is measured by punching the laminated film which is ring-likely fixed with a semi-tubular pendulum (a diameter; 1/2 inch, weight; 30kg-cm). As for the results of the measurement, the impact strength of 4,500 kg*cm/cm and over is expressed in a circle, and that of smaller than 4,500 kg*cm/cm is in a cross. When an impact strength is smaller than 4500kg*cm/cm, because the efficiency as a base material for the surface is lowered, the practicality as the base material for liquid packing is scarce. As for the evaluation of the ease to split, when the value "E", the value of Elemendorf split strength, is 7kg/cm and under, it is expressed in a circle, when the value E is between 7 and 9 kg/cm, it is in a triangle, and when it is 9kg/cm and over, it is in a cross. When the value E becomes more than 9kg/cm, the ease to split is conspicuously lowered and the ease to cut straight is drastically decreased. The evaluation of the ease to cut straight is made in the following procedure. As is shown in Figure 13, it is supposed that slits 21 are put at a certain interval Ws = 2cm on the film 11 with the width of 20cm. When the film 11 is torn from the one end along the slit 21, the width We of the other end 22 of the film piece 11A is measured. It is possible to calculate deviation α with the width Ws on the one side of the film 11A and the width We of the other side as follows.<maths id="math0001"><math display="block"><mrow><mtext>α = [(Ws - We) / Ws] x 100</mtext></mrow></math><img file="EP0540293A1_D0001.tif" /></maths>

0023In this experimental example, such measurement is done for 10 sheets of film pieces 11A, wherein, as for the average of deviation, less than ±10% is expressed in a double circle (the ease to cut straight is excellent), between ±10% and ±30% is in a circle (the ease to cut straight is good), and more than ±30% is in a cross (the ease to cut straight is insufficient). When the average is more than ±30%, it is difficult to cut film 11 straight. The strength against falling is determined by checking whether the bag is torn when the bag easy to split (130mm x 150mm) containing 150 cc of liquid with same quantity of a water and an antifreeze is dropped from the height of 2m repeatedly 20 times in a condition that the front and the back sides of the bag are put parallel to the dropping spot on the ground. But, the test temperature is -20 degrees. The dropping test was given to the prepared 10 bags. The results are expressed in a double circle when no bag is torn (= ideal for practical use), a circle when one or two bags are torn (= suitable for practical use) and in a cross when more than two bags are torn (= not suitable for practical use). As for the symbols used in the column of the total evaluation in Tables 1 and 2, a double circle means very good, a circle means good and a cross means poor.

Experimental examples 2-11

0024The oriented monolayer films easy to split based on the experimental examples 2-11 are produced by changing the mixture ratio of Ny66 and MXD6 in the above-mentioned experimental example 1 and the orientation ratio as shown in Table 1. Incidentally, the production method is the same as the above-mentioned experimental example 1. Also, the laminated film easy to split based on each experimental example is produced by using the oriented film (a 15-micrometer thickness) as a base film for the surface and by dry-laminating it with each film as the sealant film shown in table 2. Incidentally, the sealant film laminated on the base film in the experimental examples 2-9 is L-LDPE film with the thickness of 50 micrometers. Also, the sealant film used in the experimental example 10 is cast polypropylene (CPP) with the thickness of 60 micrometers. Moreover, the sealant film used in experimental example 11 is a film laminating PE film having the thickness of 20 micrometer with L-LDPE film having the thickness of 60 micrometer, wherein the oriented film is laminated on the side of PE film. The laminated film easy to split obtained in this way is made into a bag by processed in the bag-making machine. As for the oriented film obtained in the condition of the experimental examples 2-11, the measurement and evaluation of various features are made as well as in the experimental example 1, whose results are shown in Table 1. In Table 2, the ease to split and the ease to cut straight of the laminated film easy to split in the experimental examples 2-11 are evaluated as well as those in the experimental example 1. Also, the result of the strength against falling test of the bag is also shown.

Control examples 1-8

0025The control examples 1-8 are intended for the oriented monolayer film in the case where the mixture ratio of Ny66 and MXD6 and the orientation ratio in the above-mentioned experimental example 1 are changed into as shown in Table 3. Incidentally, the manufacturing process is the same as in the experimental example 1. Also, a laminated film in the control examples 1-8 are obtained by using the oriented film having the thickness of 15 micrometer as a base film and by further dry-laminating it with L-LDPE film with the thickness of 50 micrometer. The bags gotten in the condition of the comparative examples 1-8 are produced by processing each laminated film by the bag making machine. The measurement and the evaluation of a various characteristic are done as the experimental example 1 about each of the oriented film which is gotten in the condition of the control examples 1-8, too, the result of which are shown in table 3. Also, in Table 4, an ease to split and an ease to cut straight about the laminated films in the control examples 1-8 are evaluated as the experimental example 1. Also, the strength against falling tests in each of the bags are also done, which are shown in the attached Table 4.

Consideration of the experimental examples 1-11 and the control examples 1-8 thereof.

0026Following items are possible in the consideration reviewing Table 1. Because each of the oriented monolayer film easy to split obtained in the condition of the experimental examples 1-11 contains Ny66 and MXD6 at the weight ratio of 40-85:60:15 and the biaxial orientation ratio during the production process is 2.8 and over both in MD and TD directions, the split strength in each experimental result is 7.0 kg/cm and under and the ease to split is good or excellent. Also, the ease to cut straight can be considered sufficient. Moreover, each of the impact strength indicates 5000kg*cm/cm and over, which is an excellent value. The laminated films easy to split obtained from Table 2 in the condition of this the experimental examples 1-11 have an excellent ease to split even in the state of the bags. Also, the ease to cut straight is also good or very good. None or almost none of bags are torn in the falling test and therefore it is recognized that the bags in the experimental examples 1-11 have sufficient practical strength. From Table 3, the following items is possible to be studied. Though the oriented films based on the control examples 1, 2 and 3 are within the intended range of the orientation ratio in the present invention, because Ny66 content is over 85 and MXD6 content is under 15 (including 0), the ease to cut straight is insufficient though the impact strength is enough. Though the oriented films obtained in the conditions of the control examples 4 and 5 have the orientation ratio within the range intended by the present invention, because Ny66 content is under 40 (including 0), and MXD6 content is over 60, the impact strength is insufficient though the ease to split and the cut straight are good. Though the oriented films obtained in the conditions of the control examples 6, 7 and 8 have the content of Ny66 and MXD6 within the range intended by the present invention, because the respective orientation ratio are smaller than the range of the present invention, the ease to split, the ease to cut straight and the impact strength are poor. Table 4 shows that the practical use strength of the laminated films obtained in the conditions of the control examples 1, 2 and 3 is enough because no bag is torn in the dropping test. But, the ease to cut straight is poor. The laminated films obtained in the conditions of the control examples 4 and 5 have the excellent ease to split and ease to cut straight, but considerable bags are torn in the dropping test and the practical strength is poor. As for each of the laminated films obtained in the conditions of the control examples 6, 7 and 8, at least one is bad among the ease to split, the ease to cut straight and the strength against falling.

Experimental example 12

0027The raw material mixture which contains nylon 6-66 copolymer (Ny6-66) and meta-xylene adipamide (MXD6) at the weight ratio of 80:20 is kneaded and fused at the temperature of 260 degrees in the extruder. After the fused material is extruded as the cylinder-like film from the accompanied dice with the diameter of 90 mm, it is rapidly cooled down with water and becomes a raw film 11. The used nylon 6-66 is of the nylon 6-66 copolymer which is produced by Ube Kosan (the tradename: UBE nylon 5023, the relative viscosity = 3.6). As shown in Figure 12, the raw film 11 obtained in this way is simultaneously biaxially oriented by the manufacturing process as the experimental example 1, wherein the orientation ratio is 3.0 in both directions of MD and TD. The oriented film is introduced into the heat treat furnace based on the tenter method, and then heat-fixed at the temperature of 160 degrees, whereby the oriented film easy to split of this experimental example can be obtained. This oriented film is the oriented monolayer film easy to split. By using this oriented film (a 15-micrometer thickness) as a base film for the surface and laminating this base film with L-LDPE film (tradename: Unilax LS-722C, a 50-micrometer thickness) as sealant film according to the dry-laminate method, the laminated film easy to split can be obtained. A bag ease to split is manufactured by this laminated film easy to split being processed by a bag-making machine. In the attached Tables 5 and 6, the measurement result of the split strength and the impact strength of the oriented film are shown. Also, the evaluation result of the ease to split and the ese to cut straight are also shown. In table 7, the ease to split and the ease to cut straight of the laminated film easy to split are evaluated as those of the oriented film. Moreover, the test of a strength against falling about the bag is made for the purpose of evaluating practicality as the experimental example 1. When measuring the shrinkage ratio of the oriented film, the result of MD direction / TD direction = 30% / 29% is acquired. Also, the shrinkage ratio of the laminated film easy to split is MD direction / TD direction = 26% / 25%. Incidentally, the shrinkage ratio is calculated by an expression; (Δls/lo) x 100% after determining the difference Δls between the length lo of marking line drawn at the interval of 10cm on the surface of the film before heat treatment and the length Is after the heat treatment at 95 degrees centigrade.

Experimental examples 13-22

0028The oriented monolayer film easy to split is produced through the same manufacturing steps as those of the experimental example 12 by changing the mixing ratio of Ny6-66 and MXD6 in the experimental example 12 and the orientation ratio into as is shown in Table 5. By using the oriented film (a 15-micrometer thickness) as base film and laminating it with each film listed in Table 7 based on the dry-laminate method, it becomes laminated film easy to split obtained in the condition of each experimental example. Incidentally, in the experimental examples 13-20, the sealant film laminated with the base material film is L-LDPE film with the thickness of 50-micrometer. Also, the sealant film which is used in the experimental example 21 is EVA film with the thickness of 50-micrometer. More again, it is the film (but, an oriented film easy to split is made the side of PE in the laminating) that PE was done in the laminating in a 20-micrometer thickness to L-LDPE film with a 60-micrometer thickness about the sealant film which is used by experimental example 22. By being processed by a bag-making machine, the laminated film easy to split obtained in this way is made into the ease to split bag obtained in the condition of the experimental examples 13-22. As for the oriented film obtained in the condition of the experimental examples 13-22, too, the measurement and the evaluation of a various characteristics are made as the experimental example 12. Those results are shown in table 5 and table 6. Also, as for the oriented film easy to split of experimental example 13-22, the ease to split and ease to cut straight are evaluated as the experimental example 12. The strength against falling examination in the bag is made, too. Those results are shown in attached Table 7. Incidentally, the shrinkage ratio of the oriented film obtained in the condition of the experimental example 15 was MD/TD=32%/30%. The shrinkage ratio of the laminated film easy to split obtained in the condition of the same experimental example was MD/TD=28%/26%. Also, the shrinkage ratio of the oriented film obtained in the condition of the experimental example 17 was MD/TD=33%/33%. The shrinkage ratio of the laminated film easy to split obtained in the condition of the same experimental example was MD/TD=29%/29%.

Control examples 9-16

0029The oriented monolayer film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 9-16 is manufactured by a manufacturing process as the experimental example 12 by changing the rate of the mixing of Ny6-66 and MXD6 in the above-mentioned example 12 and the orientation ratio as is shown in Table 8. By using the oriented film (a 15-micrometer thickness) obtained in the condition of these control example as a base film for the surface, and laminating it with L-LDPE film (a 50-micrometer thickness) as the sealant film based on the dry-laminate method. The laminated film obtained in this way is processed by a bag-making machine and made into the bag obtained in the conditions of the control examples 9-16. In Tables 8 and 9, the measurement results and evaluation of each feature of the oriented film obtained in the condition of the control examples 9-16 are shown as those of the experimental example 12. In Table 10, the ease to split and to cut straight of the laminated film obtained in the control examples 9-16 are evaluated as those in the experimental example 12. The test of strength against falling of-the bag is made, too. The shrinkage ratio of the oriented film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 14 was MD/TD=29%/28% as the result of measurement. The percentage of the shrinkage of the oriented film which is obtained in the condition of control example 15 was MD/TD=31%/30%. Also, when the shrinkage ratio of the laminated film obtained in the condition of the control example 9 was measured, it was MD/TD=25%/23%. In case of the laminated film obtained in the condition of the control example 10, it was mD/TD=27%/26%.

Consideration of the experimental examples 12-22 and the control examples 9-16 thereof.

0030From Tables 5 and 6, the oriented film easy to split contains Ny6-66 and MXD6 at the rate of 40-85:60:15 and the orientation ratio when it is biaxially oriented is 2.8 and over both in MD and TD directions, hence, the oriented film easy to split obtained in any of the experimental example has an excellent split strength of 7.5kg/cm and under. Also, it is found that the ease to cut straight is good or very good. Also, as for the impact strength, a high impact strength of 6000kg*cm/cm and over is acquired. From Table 7, the laminated film easy to split obtained in the condition of the experimental example 12-22 has an excellent ease to split and good or very good ease to cut straight. Also, in the falling test of the bag with the laminated film easy to split processed, no or almost no bag is torn and the manufactured bag can be judged to have sufficient practical strength. From the oriented film which is manufactured under the condition shown in the control example 9-11 in Tables 8 and 9, against the above-mentioned result, the followings can be considered. Though the orientation ratio is within the range intended by the present invention, the Ny6-66 content is more than 85 and the MXD6 content is smaller than 15 (including 0), and as a result, the oriented film which is obtained in the condition of these control examples has sufficient impact strength but the ease to cut straight is inferior. Also, the following fact is considered from Table 10. Because as for the each laminated film which is obtained in the control example 9-11, no bag is torn in the falling test, the practical strength is considered to be sufficient, but the ease to cut straight is poor. As for each oriented film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 12, 13, though the orientation ratio is within the range intended by the present invention, because the Ny6-66 content is smaller than 40 (including 0) and the MXD6 content is larger than 60, an impact strength is insufficient though the ease to split and the ease to cut straight are good. As for each laminated film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 12, 13, the ease to split and the ease to cut straight are good but the practical strength is insufficient because considerable bags are torn in the falling test. As for each oriented film which is obtained in the condition of control example 14-16, though Ny6-66 and MXD6 contents are within the range intended by the present invention, because any of the orientation ratio is smaller than the range intended by the present invention, it is considered that the ease to split and ease to cut straight and impact strength are not good. Each laminated film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 9-16 has at least one of the ease to split, the ease to cut straight and the strength against falling is not good.

Experimental example 23

0031The oriented film easy to split prescribed by this experimental example is made as follows. The cylinder-like raw film 11 is made by kneading the raw material mixture which contains nylon 6(Ny6) and meta-xylene adipamide (MXD6) at the weight ratio of 60:40 in the fusion at the temperature of 270 degrees with an extruder (a 40mm diameter), kneading ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer saponification one (EVOH) in the fusion at the temperature of 220 degrees with the other extruder (a 30mm diameter), extruding those fusion materials as a three-layer film of Ny6+MXD6/EVOH/Ny6+MXD6 (a thickness ratio in the layer is 2:1:2) with a circular die with diameter of 90mm, and cooling it down with water rapidly and the structure is shown in Figure 1. The used Ny6 is nylon 6 made by Ube Kosan Co.Ltd. (the tradename: UBE Nyron 1023 FD, the relative viscosity = 3.6). Also, EVOH is the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer saponification one made by Kurare Co.Ltd. (the tradename: Ebar F, the ethylene content 32 mol%). Next, as is shown in Figure 12, the raw film 11 is simultaneously biaxially oriented like above-mentioned the experimental example 1. Incidentally, the orientation ratio is 3.0 both in the direction of MD and the direction of TD. The oriented film is made into the oriented monolayer film easy to split by being sent to the heat treat furnace based on the tenter method, and being heat-fixed at the temperature of 210 degrees. Also, the laminate film easy to split to prescribed by this experimental example is obtained as follows. The laminated film easy to split prescribed by the present invention is obtained by using the oriented film (with the width of 15 micrometer) as a base film for the surface, and using L-LDPE film (the tradename: Unilax LS-7 22C, thickness 50 micrometers) as a sealant film, and dry-laminating them. The bag easy to split can be produced when the laminated film easy to split obtained in this way is processed by the bag-making machine. In the attached table 12, the results of the measurement of a split strength and an impact strength of the oriented film easy to split obtained in the condition of this experimental example and the result of the evaluation of an ease to split and ease to cut straight are shown. Also, a result of the evaluation of an ease to split and a straight line cut characteristic about the laminated film easy to split to prescribe by this experimental example is shown in Table 13. Also, the test of a strength against falling of the bag to evaluate the practicality of the laminate film easy to split is made.

0032The oriented film easy to split which becomes an object of these experimental examples is produced with mixing ratio of Ny6 and MXD6 in example 23, the ethylene content of EVOH, the thickness ratio of the layers and the orientation ratio changed as is shown in Table 11. Incidentally, the production way is the same as the experimental example 23. In the table, the values of 1st and 3rd layer in the column of raw material composition, shows weight ratio. The value of the 2nd layer indicates ethylene content (mol %). The ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer saponification one made by Kurare Co.Ltd.(the tradename: Ebar F,ethylene content 32% mol, Ebar L:29%mol, Ebar H:38% mol, Ebar E:43 mol%) is used as EVOH. The laminated film easy to split prescribed by these experimental examples is produced by using this oriented film easy to split (a 15-micrometer thickness) as a base film for the surface and using each film listed in Table 13 as sealant film and dry-laminating the both films. Incidentally, the sealant film which is used in the experimental examples 24-38 is L-LDPE film with a 50-micrometer thickness. The sealant film which is used by the experimental example 39 is EVA film with a 50-micrometer thickness. The sealant film which is used by the experimental example 40 is the film in which PE is laminated with the thickness of 20 micrometer against the L-LDPE film with a 60-micrometer thickness (but the oriented film easy to split is laminated on the PE side). The ease to split bag is manufactured by processing laminated film easy to split produced in this way by a bag-making machine. And, in Table 11, measurement and evaluation of various characteristics of an oriented film easy to split with the 3-layer structure which is obtained in the condition of experimental example 24-40 are shown. Also, in Table 13, the evaluation result of ease to split and ease to cut straight of the laminated film easy to split in the experimental example 24-40 and result of test of a strength against falling of the bag made of the laminated film easy to split are shown.

The oxygen penetration testing machine made by Mocon Co.Ltd is used to measure a degree of oxygen penetration. Incidentally, the measurement condition is the temperature of 23 degree and a relative humidity of 0%.

Control examples 17-30

0033Each oriented film manufactured in these control examples is manufactured by a manufacturing process as the experimental example 23 in the condition that mixing ratio of Ny6 and MXD6, ethylene content of EVOH, the thickness ratio of the layers and the orientation ratio in the above-mentioned example 23 are changed as are shown in Table 14. The ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer saponification one made by Kurare Co.Ltd. (the tradename: Ebar F, ethylene content 32% mol, Ebar H: 38 mol%). The laminated film following the condition of these control examples is produced by using oriented film in each control example (with the width of 15 micrometer) as a base material film for the surface, and laminating sealant film with each film in table 16 by the dry-laminating method. Incidentally, the sealant film which is used in these control examples is L-LDPE film with 50-micrometer thickness. The laminated film obtained in this way is made into a bag by being processed by a bag-making machine. In Tables 14 and 15, the measurement of various features and evaluation results of oriented film obtained in the condition of the control examples 17-30 are indicated. Also, in Figure 16, the evaluation result of ease to split and ease to cut straight of the laminated film in the control examples 17-30 are indicated. Moreover, the result of the test of strength against falling is also indicated. When the gas barrier quality of the film is measured, oxygen penetration degree (cc/m2 24Hr) is 1.56 in the control example 17, 0.30 in the control example 23, and 61.0 in the control example 24. When the gas barrier quality of the laminate film is measured, the oxygen penetration degree (cc/m2 24Hr) is 1.56 in the experimental example 17, 0.30 in the experimental example 23, 61.0 in the experimental example 24, 2.06 in the experiment example 35, and 6.14 in the experimental example 36.

Consideration of the experimental examples 23-40 and the control examples 17-30

0034The oriented film easy to split which is obtained in the condition of the experimental examples 23-40 has the 1st layer containing nylon 6(Ny6) and meta-xylene adipamide (MXD6) at the weight ratio of 40-85:60-15 and the 2nd layer comprising the ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer saponification one (EVOH). Incidentally, the thickness ratio of the 1st layer and the 2nd layer is 2:1-1:2 and the orientation ratio of the film during the biaxial orientation is 2.8 and over both in MD and TD directions. From Tables 11 and 12, it is Judged that the oriented films easy to split obtained in these ways have excellent ease to split with split strength of 8.9kg/cm and under and their ease to cut straight is good or very good. Also, the impact strength of them indicates a high value of 5000kg*cm/cm and over. Also, it is considered that the laminated film easy to split obtained from Table 13 in the condition of experimental example 23-40 has excellent ease to split and good or very good ease to cut straight. Because in the falling test of the bag made of the laminated film easy to split in each embodiment, no or almost no bag is torn, it is considered it has sufficient practical strength. On the other hand, following fact is considered from Tables 14 and 15. First, the oriented film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 17-20 meets the condition in tended by the present invention but because it has no first layer containing Ny6 and MXD6 concerning the present invention, even if the impact strength is enough, a split strength is big and the ease to split and the ease to cut straight are inferior. Though the oriented film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 21, 22 has a layer containing Ny6 and MXD6, the ingredient rate is not in the range intended by the present invention, wherein the split strength is big and the ease to cut straight is inferior. Incidentally, as is shown in the control example 22, when the ingredient ratio of MXD6 is too large, the impact strength is inferior, too. The oriented film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 23-25 is a simple substance film. In other words, because it is not made of the combination of the 1st layer and the 2nd layer, any one of split strength, the ease to cut straight, and the impact strength is inferior. Though the oriented film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 26-28 has the 1st layer and the 2nd layer, because the orientation ratio doesn't reach the range intended by the present invention, any one of split strength, ease to cut straight, and the impact strength is inferior. Though the oriented film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 26-28 has the 1st layer and the 2nd layer, because the thickness ratio of each layer is out of the range intended by the present invention, any one of split strength, ease to cut straight, and the impact strength is inferior. Also, following fact are considered from Table 16. As for the laminated film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 17-20, no bag is torn in the falling test and the practical strength is sufficient, but ease to split and ease to cut straight are inferior. As for the laminated film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 21, 22, an ease to split and ease to cut straight are inferior. Also, as for the control example 22, considerable bags are torn in the falling test. As for each laminated film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 23-25, at least one of ease to split, ease to cut straight and the strength against falling is inferior. As for the laminated film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 26-28, at least two of ease to split, ease to cut straight, and strength against falling are inferior. As for the laminated film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 29, 30, at least one of the ease to split, ease to cut straight and the strength against falling is inferior.

Experimental example 41

0035An oriented film easy to split in this experimental example comprises three layers and it is produced through steps mentioned below. The raw material mixture which contains Ny6 and MXD6 at the weight ratio of 95:5 is used in the 1st layer. The raw material mixture which contains Ny6 and MXD6 at the weight ratio of 40:60 is used in the 2nd layer. The raw material mixture which contains Ny6 and MXD6 at the weight ratio of 95:5 is used in the 3rd layer. The three kinds of raw material mixtures mentioned above are delivered to three extrudes (with the diameter of 40mm) respectively, after being kneaded in fusion at the temperature of 270 degrees centigrade there, and is extruded from the multi-layer circular die with the diameter of 90mm in the condition of 3 layers of 1st/2nd/3rd layer(the thickness ratio = 1:2:1), and it is cooled down with water. In this way, first, the cylinder-like raw film 11 is manufactured. The layer structure of this film is shown in Figure 7. next, this raw film 11 is simultaneously biaxially oriented as the experimental example 1 (See Figure 12). Incidentally, the ratio of the biaxial orientation is 3.0 both in the MD and TD directions. The biaxial oriented film is made into the oriented film easy to split of the monolayer prescribed by this experimental example by being sent to the heat treat furnace and being heat-fixed at the temperature of 210 degrees centigrade. Also, the laminated film easy to split prescribed by this experimental example is obtained by using, oriented film easy to split (a 15-micrometer thickness) of this experimental example as a base material film for the surface and laminating it with L-LDPE film (tradename: Unilax LS-722C, thickness of 50 micrometers) as sealant film by the dry-laminating method. The oriented film easy to split obtained in this way is made into a bag easy to split. In the attached Table 18, the result of the measurement of split strength and impact strength of the oriented film easy to split and the result of the evaluation of ease to split and ease to cut straight are shown. Also, in the Table 19, the result of the evaluation of ease to split and ease to cut straight is shown. In the same table, the test result of strength against falling to evaluate practicality of the bag made of the laminated film easy to split of this experimental example is shown.

Experimental example 42-59

0036The rate of the mixing of Ny6 and MXD6 in the 1st-3rd layer in the above mentioned experimental example 41, the thickness ratio of the layer and the orientation ratio are changed as shown in Table 17 and is manufactured by manufacturing steps as the experimental example 41. Also, the laminate film easy to split is produced by using this oriented film easy to split (a 15-micrometer thickness) as a base material film for the surface and laminating it with each sealant film shown in Table 19 by the dry-laminate method. Incidentally, the sealant film used in the experimental example 42-59 is L-LDPE film with a 50-micrometer thickness. The sealant film used in the experimental example 56 is EVA film with a 50-micrometer thickness. The sealant film used in the experimental example 57 is PP of a 60-micrometer thickness without orienting. The sealant film used in the experimental example 58 is a film with PE laminated with the thickness of 20 micrometer against the L-LDPE film with the thickness of 60 micrometer (an oriented film easy to split is laminated on the PE side). The sealant film used in the experimental example 59 is L-LDPE film with a 80-micrometer thickness. The laminated film obtained in this way is made into a bag easy to split by being processed by a bag-making machine. In Table 18, the measurement and the evaluation of various characteristics of the oriented film easy to split obtained in the experimental example 42-59 are made like in the experimental example 41. Also, in Table 19, the result of the evaluation of an ease to split and ease to cut straight of the laminated film easy to split in the experimental example 42-59 and a result of the test of a strength against falling of the bag made of the laminated film easy to split are also shown.

Control examples 31-41

0037The mixing ratio of Ny6 and MXD 6 in the 1st to 3rd layers in above-mentioned the experimental example 41, the thickness ratio of the layers, and the orientation ratios of each oriented film prescribed in these control examples are changed to indicate the values shown in Table 20 and it is produced through the same manufacturing step as the experiment example 41. Also, the laminated film is produced by using the oriented film (a 15-micrometer thickness) which is obtained in the condition of the control example 31-41 as a surface base material film and by laminating it with each sealant film shown in Table 22 by dry laminate method. Incidentally, the sealant film used by the control example 31-41 is L-LDPE film with a 50-micrometer thickness. Also, the laminated film obtained in this way is made into a bag easy to split in these control examples by being processed by a bag-making machine. As for the oriented film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 31-41, the measurement and the evaluation of a various characteristics are made as the experimental example 41, whose result is shown in Table 21. Also, in the attached Table 22, the ease to split and the ease to cut straight of the laminated film in the control example 31-41 are evaluated as the experimental example 41. Also, a result of the examination of a strength against falling of the bag is indicated together.

Consideration of the experimental examples 41-59 and the control examples 31-41

0038Tables 18 and 19 show that any of the oriented films easy to split which is obtained in the condition of the experimental example 41-59 have 7.0kg/cm and under of split strengths, excellent ease to split and the good or very good ease to cut straight. Also, any of the impact strength is 6500kg*cm/cm and over, which is very high. Table 19 shows that the laminated film easy to split which is obtained in the condition of this the experimental example 41-59 has an excellent ease to split and very good or good ease to cut straight and also, almost no or no bags are torn in the falling test when it is made into bags, so it has sufficient practical strength. On the other hand, because the oriented film which is obtained from Tables 20, 21 in the condition of the control example 31 and 32 is a monolayer film comprising only of Ny6, a split strength is big and the ease to cut straight is inferior. The oriented film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 33 is inferior in the ease to cut straight because it is a monolayer of MXD6 content of 10%. Because the oriented film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 34 is a monolayer film comprising MXD6, an impact strength is bad. Though the oriented film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 35-37 has the 1st and 3rd layers, because the content rate of Ny6 and MXD6 in these layers is out of the range intended by this invention, the ease to cut straight is inferior. Though the oriented film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 38 has the 1st and 3rd layers, because the content rate of Ny6 and MXD6 in these layers is out of the range intended by this invention and the thickness ratio of the layers is out of the range intended by the present invention, the ease to cut straight and ease to split are inferior. Though the oriented film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 39-41 has the content rate of ny6 and MXD6 in the 1st-3rd layers within the range intended by this invention and the thickness ratio of the 1st to 3rd layers are within the range intended by the present invention because the orientation ratio during the biaxial orientation is smaller than 2.8 in MD and Td directions, at least one of split strength, ease to cut straight and the impact strength is inferior. Also, from Table 22, it is considered that at least one of ease to split, ease to cut straight and the strength against falling of the laminated film obtained in the condition of control example 31-41 is inferior.

Experimental example 60

0039The oriented film easy to split which is prescribed by this experimental example is manufactured in the following way. The raw material mixture which contains Ny6 and MXD6 at the rate of 80:20 is supplied to the extruder and fused and kneaded at temperature of 270 degrees. After that, it is pressed as the film in the form of circular cylinder from a die with diameter of 90mm, then, its quickly cooled with water and almost becomes a raw film. This raw film 11 is biaxially oriented at the same time as the experimental example 1 (see Figure 12). The magnification of the biaxial orientation to both directions of MD and TD is 3.0 times. The biaxially oriented film is sent to the heat treatment furnace which is based on Tenter method and thermally fixed at temperature of 210 degrees. Then, it becomes an oriented film with ease to split which is prescribe by this experimental example. The laminated film easy to split in this experimental example has 3-layer structure; L-LDPE film as a sealant film of the first layer [Unilacks LS-722C (tradename), thickness of 50-micrometer], oriented films easy to split as the second layer and the third layer (both thickness is 15 micrometers respectively). The laminated film easy to split is manufactured by dry laminating three layers. Also, bags easy to split are manufactured by processing this laminated film easy to split with a bag manufacturing device. Attached Table 23 shows an ease to cut straight about the oriented film easy to split prescribed by this experimental example and a result of the evaluation of split resistance. Incidentally, the split resistance was evaluated from split condition of the film in case of ease to cut straight examination. That is, the evaluation was marked with a double circle for film which was smoothly cut to the end, a circle for film which was once stopped but cut to the end, and a cross for film which was once stopped and cannot have been cut.

Experimental examples 61-67

0040An oriented film easy to split was made as the experimental example 60. After that, the laminated film easy to split of 3-layer or 4-layer structure which are obtained in the condition of the experimental example 61-67 was obtained by the dry-laminating each film which is shown in Table 23 as a sealant film of the first layer (L-LDPE, CPP), an oriented film as the second layer, and each film which is shown in Table 23 as base films of the third layer and the fourth layer (ONy, PET, OPP) Incidentally, for the experimental examples 61-63, 66, 67, correspond to the 3-layer structure which is shown in Figure 10, the experimental examples 64, 65 correspond to the 4-layer structure which is shown in Figure 11. Incidentally, N-M in the Table shows the oriented film easy to split of this invention, L-LDPE shows the linear chain low density polyethylene, Ony shows a biaxial orientation nylon film and CPP shows a non-orienting polypropylene film. next, using each laminated film easy to split, a bag easy to split was manufactured with a bag manufacturing device so that the sealant film becomes the inner layer. The laminated film easy to split which is obtained in the condition of the experimental examples 61-67 was evaluated from the ease to cut straight and the split resistance as the experimental example 60. Those results are shown in the following Table 23.

Control examples 42-48

0041The laminate films with 3-layer or 4-layer structure in these control examples were made by making an oriented film as the experimental example 60, and dry laminating each film which is shown in Table 23 in the condition as shown in Figures 10, 11, where the oriented film 18 is not adjacent to the sealant film 44 of the first layer, that is, equal to or more than 1 layer of base material films 41, 42 can be caught between oriented film 18 and sealant film 44. Incidentally, in case of the control examples 46-48, laminated films with 3-layer or 4-layer structure were obtained instead of using an oriented film. With each laminated film, the bag which relates to these control examples is manufactured by a bag manufacturing device so that a sealant film becomes the inner layer. The laminated film which is obtained in the condition of the control examples 42-48 was evaluated from an ease to cut straight and split resistance as the experimental example 60. Those results are shown in the following Table 23.

Consideration of the experimental examples 60-67 and the control examples 42-48

0042According to Table 23 and the experimental examples 60-67, a laminated film easy to split whose more than one layer was laminated is as if an oriented film easy to split and a sealant film are adjacent, therefore, the favorable ease to cut straight which an oriented film easy to split itself has and small split resistance are certainly obtained in any laminated film easy to split. On the other hand, in the control examples 42-45, since an oriented film is contained in the laminated film, favorable ease to cut straight and small split resistance are obtained. However, since the oriented film and the sealant film aren't adjacent, more favorable ease to cut straight and the small split resistance aren't obtained as the experimental examples 60-67. According to the control examples 46-48, since an oriented film isn't contained in the laminated film, at least one of the ease to cut straight and the split resistance is poor.

Experimental example 68

0043After raw material mixture which contains Ny6 and MXD6 at rate of 60:40 was fused and kneaded with a biaxial kneading machine [made by Ikegai Tekko Co., Ltd. ejection quantity: 30kg/Hr], a resin pellet was made. The resin temperature in this fusion kneading is 275 degrees. A resin pellet was fused and kneaded in the extruder [diameter of 40mm] at 270 degrees, and fusion kneaded material was extruded from a die with diameter of 90mm diameter as a film in form of circular cylinder, then, raw film 11 was continuously made by sudden cooling with water. Next, as shown in Figure 12, this raw film 11 was biaxially oriented at the same time as the experimental example 1. The magnification in this orienting was 3.0 times for direction of MD and 3.5 times for direction of TD. In this biaxial orientation, bubble 16 was stable and produced a good forming stability. next, this film was inserted in Tenter formula heat treatment furnace and thermally fixed at 210 degrees, then, the oriented film easy to split which is obtained in the condition of this experimental example was obtained. next, the wall thickness precision and strength against impact of the oriented film easy to split which was obtained were measured and evaluated, and the ease to cut straight was evaluated. The result is shown in attached Tables 24, 25. The wall thickness precision was calculated by measuring the thickness with 5mm interval to direction of the circumference (TD) of the raw film, finding the maximum and minimum values, and calculating α = (maximum - minimum) / average x 100 using whole average. And then, the evaluation marked with a circle if the value α is ±6% or less, with a triangle for ±6% &lt; α &lt; ±9%, and a cross if α is 9% or more.

Experimental examples 69-73

0044In the above experimental example 68, mixing rate between Ny6 and MXD6, and the resin temperature in fusion kneading before extruding was changed as shown in Table 24, the oriented film easy to split which is obtained in the condition of the experimental example 69-73 was obtained in the similar manufacturing process as the experimental example 68. A forming stability at the time of the biaxial orientation of the film which was obtained in the condition of the experimental example 69-73 was evaluated, and various characteristic was measured and evaluated as the experimental example 68. Those results are shown in Tables 24, 25. Incidentally, in a column for the stability of the orientation forming of Table 24, a circle shows good forming stability and a cross shows poor forming stability.

Control examples 49-52

0045In the above experimental example 68, the mixing rate between Ny6 and MXD6 was changed as shown in Table 24, the film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 49-52 was obtained in the similar manufacturing process as the experimental example 68. But, only in the control example 51 fusion kneading was carried out before extrusion forming, in the control examples 49, 50, the dry blending was executed before the extrusion forming instead of fusion kneading, in the control example 52 kneading before the extrusion forming wasn't done. Orienting moldability at the time of the biaxial orientation of the film which is obtained in the condition of the control example 49-52 was evaluated. Also, a various characteristic was measured and evaluated as the experimental example 68. Those results are shown in Tables 24, 25.

Consideration of the experimental examples 68-73 and the control examples 49-52

0046According to Tables 24, 25 and the experimental examples 68-73, by providing a process which fusions and kneads a mixture at 300 degrees or less before fusion extrusion the mixture of Ny6 and MXD6 with an extruder, the forming stability at the time of the biaxial orientation becomes good and wall thickness precision of a obtained film easy to split becomes good. Therefore, the product with a good wound Figure can be obtained according to the experimental examples 68-73. The problems in secondary manufacture doesn't occur, such as a pitch difference occurs in polychrome, and so-called tunneling (inclusion of air between films) occurs in case of laminate. Also, even if a fusion kneading manufacturing process before such an extrusion is added is added in manufacturing process of a film easy to split, the strength against impact and the ease to cut straight of the obtained film easy to split aren't influenced, but remain good. On the other hand, according to the control examples 49, 50, since the dry blend was carried out instead of fusion kneading before extrusion forming, wall thickness precision of the obtained film is poor. According to the control example 51, which did fusion kneading before extrusion forming, the resin temperature at that time exceeds 300 degrees, so that the forming stability at the time of the biaxial orientation is poor and strength against impact and an ease to cut straight of the obtained film are poor. According to the control example 52, kneading before extrusion forming was not carried out so that wall thickness precision of the obtained film is poor and the ease to cut straight is poor.

Experimental example 74

0047The manufacture equipment used in the experimental examples 74-80 is explained with the drawings. As shown in Figures 14, 15, this manufacture equipment is equipped with the following: equipment 110 to biaxially orient raw film 11 by tubular method; first heating equipment 120 to thermally process this film 11 by Tenter method; trimming equipment 130 to cut both side parts of the direction of the width of this film 11 and separate it into two sheets of films 11A and 11B; equipment 140 to make air intervene between films 11A and 11B; 2nd heating equipment 150 to keep both side parts of both of films 11A and 11B by Tenter method and to thermally treat; and winder 160 for films 11A and 11B processed by heat treatment. Biaxial orientation equipment 11 is provided with the following: a pair of 1st pinch roller 11 which was placed above; Heating equipment 113 provided with heater 112 to heat raw film 11; V-shape guide board 114 to folds film 11 flat; and a pair of 2nd pinch roller 115 placed the bottom of guide board 114. Heater 112 of this heating equipment 113 consists of four heaters 112A-112D which is arranged along the surface of the periphery of bubble 16 closely as shown in Figure 16. Among these heaters 112A-112D, a pair of heaters, 112A and 112B, which are on opposite each other, are made to be a heater to heat parts 16A and 16B which will be side parts 11X, 11Y of the direction of the width (see Figure 17) of film 11, when bubble 16 is folded flat. Also, a pair of other opposite heaters 112C, 112D are made to be heaters to heat parts 16C, 16D which are equivalent to the product of bubble 16. It is possible to choose an infrared ray heater and so on as these heaters 112A-112D optionally. First heating equipment 120 is provided with Tenter 121 to keep both side parts of the direction of the width 11X, 11Y of film 11 folded flat, and Hot blast stove 122 to heat film 11. Trimming equipment 130 has blade 131 to separate flat film 11 into two films 11A and 11B. More than one guide rollers 105 are provided between this trimming equipment 130 and first heating equipment 120. Air intervention equipment 140 is composed of a pair of rollers 141A and 141B which were separately arranged up and down. Second heating equipment 150 is equipped with Tenter 151 to keep both side parts of films 11A and 11B in it, and Hot blast stove 152 to heat films 11A and 11B. More than one guide rollers 142 (see Figure 18) which was provided with spiral ditches 141 is provided between this second heating equipment 150 and air intervention equipment 140. These guide rollers 142 with ditches, was processed by galvanizing with chrome after ditch processing. With this manufacture equipment, a biaxial orientation and the heat treatment was implemented in the following way next. First, a compound which was a mixture of nylon 6(Ny6) and meta-xylene adipamide (MXD6) at the weight ratio of 60:40 was fusion kneaded at 270 degrees in a extruder, and dissolved material is extruded from a die with diameter of 90mm in the form of circular cylinder, then, it was quickly cooled with water continuously and a raw film was made. Next, tubular film 11, which was heated with heating equipment 113 by biaxial orientation equipment 110 of tubular method as shown in Figures 14 and 15, was expanded into bubble 16 at fixed internal pressure and biaxial oriented in order to orient it to the direction of TD and to direction of MD with a difference of winding speed of upper and lower pinch rollers 111 and 115. Biaxially oriented bubble 16 was folded flat by guide board 114 and second pinch roller 115 and flat film 11 was made. Incidentally, the method of the pouring of air into film 11 for tubular method is optional (For example, refer to the No. TOKUKAISHO 64-71727 bulletin). When this heating equipment 113 heats, the temperature of heaters 112A and 112B which were arranged on the side parts 16A and 16B which become side parts 11X and 11Y of the direction of the width of bubble 16 was set to 280 degrees. On the other hand, the temperature of heaters 112C and 112D which were arranged to the side of 16C and 16D which were equivalent to the product of bubble 16 was set to 320 degrees. In this case, all the heater average temperature is 300 degrees. By heating and orienting under these conditions, as shown in Figures 19, 20, straight line X1 which was drawn to direction of TD of film 11 before orienting shifts to the direction of MD, centered on parts 16C and 16D which are equivalent to the product of bubble 16 on orienting and bowing phenomenon shown by curve X2 occurs. next, in the first step heat treatment with 1st heating equipment 120, while both side parts 11X and 11Y of the direction of the width of film 11 with Tenter 121 was held, heat treatment was implemented at 150 degrees with hot blast stove 122. Bowing conditions in the opposite direction which denies the bowing conditions at the time of the biaxial orientation occurs in this heat treatment. In case of this heat treatment, the relaxation ratio of film 11 was set to 5% (the direction of TD). By implementing a heat treatment in the condition that film 11 is rather relaxed, shrinkage percentage is reduced by increasing the crystallinity of film 11, and film 11 with good dimensional stability is obtained by this. next, with trimming equipment 130, side parts 11X and 11Y of the direction of the width of this film 11 were cut with blade 131 and separated into two films 11A and 11B. Incidentally, cutting of this film 11 can be implemented so as to cause partial fragment of a side part of the direction of the width by placing blade 131 rather inside from a fold part, or it may be implemented so as not to cause fragment of a side part of the direction of the width by placing blade 131 to the fold part of film 11. With a trimming at this step, it is possible to make trimming loss small in the following manufacturing process. next, with air intervention equipment 140, films 11A and 11B is separately fed into the top and the bottom of rollers 141A and 141B so that air touches the inside of films 11A and 11B. Then, they are fed in order into roller 142 with ditch which is shown in Figure 18 and both films 11A and 11B was put together while air is kept between both films 11A and 11B. When this roller 142 with ditch is used as this, a condition of good contact between films 11A and 11B and the air is obtained through these ditches 141 so that it is possible to prevent fusion between films 11A and 11B effectively. next, in the second step heat treatment with 2nd heating equipment 150, two films 11A and 11B in overlapped conditions were thermally treated at 210 degrees, while both side parts 11X and 11Y of direction of width was held by Tenter 151. Even in this heat treatment, bowing conditions in the opposite direction which further denies the bowing conditions at the time of the biaxial orientation occurred. As a result, each of bowing conditions in both directions kill each other, and the bowing ratio of films 11A and 11B becomes small. In the second step heat treatment, the relaxation ratio of films 11A and 11B was set to 5% (the direction of TD). Lastly, films 11A and 11B were wound with winding machine 160. In this experimental example, a stability of the forming of bubble 16 at the time of the biaxial orientation was evaluated. Besides, the bowing ratio of film 11 after orienting and that of films 11A and 11B after the second step heat treatment was measured. And then, ease to cut straight was measured and evaluated at the center part and side part in the direction of the width of films 11A and 11B after the second step heat treatment. Those results are shown in Tables 26, 27. The bowing ratio is the value which is obtained by drawing marked line S1 with fixed width in the perpendicular direction to the direction of the movement at film 11 [see Figure 21(A)], measuring delay of marked line S2 Δb after the second step heat treatment and width 1 [see Figure 21(B)], and calculating by (Δb/1) x 100%, as shown in Figure 21. Incidentally, in this experimental example, bowing in quantity of -Δb1 occurs first because of the bowing conditions in a biaxial orientation manufacturing process. Then, bowing with an opposite direction in total quantity of +Δb2 occurs in the first and second step heat treatment manufacturing processes. After all, Δb after the second step heat treatment is equivalent to |Δb2-Δb1|. The ease to cut straight was evaluated as follows: That is, as shown in Figure 22, break 172 is provided to film 171 with width of 20cm in interval Ws of 2cm, film 171 is torn up along these breaks 172, width We of side part 174 is measured in addition to film fragment 173, deviation α with original interval Ws is obtained as the following:<maths id="math0002"><math display="block"><mrow><mtext>α = [(Ws - We)/Ws] x 100</mtext></mrow></math><img file="EP0540293A1_D0002.tif" /></maths>

0048This measurement was done to 10 sheets of film fragments 173. Evaluations in the column of ease to cut straight in Table 27 is a double circle for one whose average α(%) is less than ±10% (ease to cut straight is very good), a circle for one with ±10% ≦ α ≦ ±30% (ease to cut straight is good), and a cross for one whose α(%) is more than ±30% (ease to cut straight is poor). When α(%) is ±30% or more, it becomes difficult to cut film 18 straight. In the column of evaluation of ease to cut straight, a double circle means that both of ease to cut straight at the center part and the side part are better than a circle, a triangle shows that one of ease to cut straight at the center part or the side part is a cross, and a cross shows both of ease to cut straight at the center part and the side part are a cross. Incidentally, in the column for stability of forming of bubble, a circle shows that bubble bent diameter change is ±1% or less and that break and instability of bubble (vertical movement, shaking and so on) do not occur, a cross shows that break and instability of bubble (vertical movement, shaking and so on) occur so that the continuous forming of stability is difficult. Also, in the column of total evaluation, a double circle shows that the stability of the forming of bubble is a circle and bowing ratio after the second step heat treatment is less than 5%, and a cross shows that the stability of the forming of bubble is a cross or that the bowing ratio after the second step heat treatment is 5% or more.

Experimental examples 75-80

0049The raw film with the composition which is shown in Table 26 was made with an extruder, as in experimental example 74, then, the films easy to split in each experimental example were made by biaxially orienting this film. At time of this orienting, the temperature of heaters 112A and 112B which were arranged on sides 16A and 16B which become side parts 11X and 11Y of direction of width of bubble 16 of heating equipment 113 and the temperature of heaters 112C and 112D which was arranged to part 16C and 16D which is equivalent to product of bubble 16 were set as shown in Table 26. next, the first and second step heat treatments were given to these films easy to split 11 at the temperature and the relaxation ratio which are shown in Table 26. While other conditions were the same as above experimental examples, films easy to split 11A and 11B which are obtained under the condition of each experimental example were obtained. These films easy to split which are obtained in condition of these experimental example 75-80 was evaluated from stability of the forming of bubble 16 at time of the biaxial orientation as experimental example 74. Also, the bowing ratio of film 11 after orienting and that of the film easy to split after the second step heat treatment were measured. Also, ease to cut straight was measured and evaluated at the center part and the side part of films 11A and 11B. Those results are shown in Tables 26, 27.

Control examples 53-58

0050The raw film with the composition which is shown in Table 26 was made with an extruder, as the experimental example 74, and the films in each control examples were made by biaxially orienting this film. At time of this orienting, the temperature of heaters 112A and 112B which were arranged on sides 16A and 16B which become side parts 11X and 11Y of direction of width of bubble 16 of heating equipment 113 and the temperature of heaters 112C and 112D which was arranged to part 16C and 16D which is equivalent to product of bubble 16 were set as shown in Table 26. Next, the first and second step heat treatments were given to these films at the temperature and the relaxation ratio which are shown in Table 26. While other conditions were the same as above experimental examples, films which are obtained under the condition of the control example 53-58 were obtained. These films which are obtained in condition of these control examples were evaluated from stability of the forming of bubble at time of the biaxial orientation as the experimental example 74. Also, the bowing ratio of film after orienting and that of the film after the second step heat treatment were measured. Also, ease to cut straight was measured and evaluated at the center part and the side part of films. Those results are shown in Tables 26, 27.

Consideration of the experimental examples 74-80 and the control examples 53-58

0051According to Tables 26, 27, in the experimental examples 74-80, when raw film 11 is heated by the biaxial orientation, heating temperature at parts of 16A and 16B which become side parts 11X and 11Y of direction of width when folding bubble 16 was set to lower than a temperature of the heating of parts 16C and 16D which are equivalent to the product of film 11. And then, the temperature of a pair of heaters 112A and 112B which was arranged on the side of parts 16A and 16B which becomes side parts 11X and 11Y of the direction of the width of bubble 16 of heaters was set 10-100 degrees lower than the average temperature (300 degrees) of all heaters. The temperature of another pair of heaters 112C and 112D which were arranged on the side of parts 16C and 16D which are equivalent to the product of bubble 16 was set 10-100 degrees higher than the average temperature of all heaters. Therefore, it was shown that bubble 16 at the time of the biaxial orientation was stable and that the final bowing ratio after the second step heat treatment became low. Therefore, according to this experimental example, it is possible to limit a bowing ratio small so that good ease to cut straight is gotten at either of the center part and the side part to the width of film easy to split. On the other hand, in the control examples 53 and 54, on the contrary to this invention of the experimental examples 74-80, heating temperature of parts 16A and 16B which become side parts 11X and 11Y of direction of width when folding bubble 16 was set higher than the heating temperature of parts 16C and 16D which are equivalent to the film product. Therefore, it was shown that the final bowing ratio after the second step heat treatment became high and that ease to cut straight was especially poor at the film side part. In the control example 55, temperature of a pair of heaters 112A and 112B which was arranged on side of parts 16A and 16B which becomes side parts 11X and 11Y of direction of width of bubble 16 was set more than 100 degrees higher than the average temperature (300 degree) of all heaters. On the other hand, temperature of another pair of heaters 112C and 112D which were arranged on side of parts 16C and 16D which are equivalent to product of bubble 16 was set more than 100 degrees higher than the average temperature of all heaters. Therefore, the stability of bubble 16 was poor. In the control examples 56 and 57, a film does not have the composition of the film easy to split which is gotten in the condition of this invention. Therefore, an ease to cut straight was poor at both of the film center part and the side part. In the control example 58, a film doesn't have the composition of the film easy to split which is gotten in the condition of this invention. Moreover, when the film is heated by the biaxial orientation, heating temperature of parts 16A and 16B which become side parts 11X and 11Y of direction of width when folding bubble 16 is the same as the heating temperature of parts 16C and 16D which are equivalent to the film product. Therefore, it was shown that the final bowing ratio became high and that the ease to cut straight was poor at both of the film center part and the side part. Incidentally, in the experimental examples 74-80, heating equipment 113 may be composed, for example, by placing total of 10 heaters, two each to the parts 16A and 16B which becomes side parts 11X and 11Y of the direction of the width of bubble 16, three each to the parts 16C and 16C which are equivalent to the product of bubble 16. With this, the temperature control of a heating conditions of bubble 16 improves more and it is possible to smooth the temperature inclination over a film circumference. Also, in the experimental examples 74-80, for example, by adjusting the coil density of the infrared ray heater, it is possible to control heating temperature at parts 16A and 16B which become side parts 11X and 11Y of direction of width of bubble 16, and at parts 16C and 16D which are equivalent to product of bubble 16. Moreover, in the experimental examples 74-80, hot blast stoves 122 and 152 were provided at the first and second heating equipment 120 and 150, but, for example, an infrared ray heater and so on may be placed instead.

First heating equipment 220 is equipped with following: a pair of first pinch rollers 221 which were arranged above; opposite V-shape guide board 222 which was installed from first pinch roller 221; hot blast stove 223 to heat film 11; V-shape guide board 224 to fold film 11 flat; and a pair of second pinch rollers 225 which were arranged at the bottom of guide board 224. Guide roller 205 is provided between this first heating equipment 220 and biaxial orientation means 210. With this manufacture equipment, the biaxial orientation and the heat treatment were carried out in the following way: First, mixture between nylon 6 (Ny6) and meta-xylene adipamide (MXD6) at the weight ratio of 60:40 is fusion kneaded in an extruder at 270 degrees, then, dissolved material is extruded from a die with diameter of 90mm as a film in form of circular cylinder and it was quickly cooled with water and a raw film was made. Next, as show in Figure 23, with biaxial orientation equipment 11 in tubular method, tubular film 11 which was heated with heating equipment 212 was biaxially oriented to the direction of TD by expanding into bubble 16 at fixed internal pressure and to the direction of MD with the difference in winding speed of upper and lower pinch rollers 211 and 214. Bubble 16 which was biaxially oriented was folded with guide board 213 and second pinch roller 214 and made into flat film 11. Next, with first heating equipment 220 in tubular method, heat treatment at 120 degree was given to film 11 with hot blast stove 223. In this heat treatment, the relaxation ratio of film 11 was set to 0% (the directions of MD and TD). The first step heat treatment increases the crystallinity of film 11. Therefore, sliding efficiency between overlapped films becomes good and it is possible to prevent fusion. In addition, the first step heat treatment is carried out in tubular method, therefore, the bowing ratio of the first step heat treatment can be set to 0 and the final bowing ratio of film can be reduced. next, as shown in Figure 15, these two films 11A and 11B were thermally treated at 210 degrees with second heating equipment 150 in Tenter method through trimming equipment 130 and air intervention equipment 140, while the both side parts of overlapped films 11A and 11B were held by Tenter 151. In the second step heat treatment, the relaxation ratio of films 11A and 11B was set to 10%. Lastly, films easy to split 11A and 11B were wound by winding machine 160. In this experimental example, stability of bubble 16 at time of first step heat treatment and the fusion condition of films 11A and 11B at the time of the second step heat treatment was evaluated. Also, the bowing ratio of film 11 after first step heat treatment and after second step heat treatment were measured. And then, the ease to cut straight of films 11A and 11B after the second step heat treatment was measured at the center part and the side part to the direction of the width and evaluated. Those results are shown in Tables 28 and 29. As show in Figure 24, bowing ratio is a value computed by drawing marked line S with fixed width to the perpendicular direction to the direction of the movement in film 11 [see Figure 24(A)], measuring the delay Δb of marked line S after the second step heat treatment and width 1 [see Figure 24(B)], and calculated by (Δb/1) x 100%. The ease to cut straight was evaluated like the experimental example 74.

Experimental examples 82-86

0053The raw film with the composition which is shown in Table 28 was made with an extruder like example 51 of the above experimentals, then film 11 in each experimental example was made by biaxially orienting this film. next, to these films 11, the first step heat treatment in the tubular method and the second step heat treatment in Tenter method were carried out with the temperature and the relaxation ratio which are shown in Table 28. While other conditions were the same as experimental example, film easy to split which is gotten in the condition of experimental examples 82-86 was obtained. Film easy to split which is gotten in condition of these experimental examples 82-86 was evaluated from stability of bubble 16 at time of the first step heat treatment and fusion of films 11A and 11B at the time of the second step heat treatment like experimental example 81. Also, the bowing ratio of film 11 after first step heat treatment and after second step heat treatment were measured. And then, the straight line cut characteristic of films 11A and 11B after the second step heat treatment was measured at the center part and the side part and evaluated. Those results are shown in Tables 28 and 29.

Control examples 59-63

0054The raw film with the composition which is shown in Table 28 was made with an extruder like example 81 of the above experimentals, then, the film in each control example was made by biaxially orienting this film. next, to these films, the first step heat treatment in the tubular method and the second step heat treatment in Tenter method were carried out with the temperature and the relaxation ratio which are shown in Table 28. While other conditions were the same as experimental example 81, film easy to split which is gotten in the condition of control examples 59-63 was obtained. Film easy to split which is gotten in condition of these control examples 59-63 was evaluated from stability of bubble at time of the first step heat treatment and fusion of films at the time of the second step heat treatment like experimental example 81. Also, the bowing ratio of film after first step heat treatment and after second step heat treatment were measured. And then, the straight line cut characteristic of the film after the second step heat treatment was measured at the center part and the side part and evaluated. Those results are shown in Tables 28, 29.

Consideration of the experimental examples 81-86 and the control examples 59-63

0055According to Tables 28 and 29, in experimental examples 81-86, since the first step heat treatment in tubular method was given to film 11 at temperature of 120-190 degrees and the second step heat treatment was given in Tenter method at temperature of 190-220 degrees after that, it was shown that the stability of bubble 16 at the time of the first step heat treatment was good and the final bowing ratio after the second step heat treatment became low. Therefore, according to experimental examples 81-86, it is possible to limit the bowing ratio small, so that good ease to cut straight is gotten at both of the center part and the side part to the direction of the width of film 11. On the other hand, according to control example 59, the temperature of the first step heat treatment is above the temperature range which is gotten in the condition of this invention, therefore, it was shown that the stability of bubble became poor. According to control examples 60 and 61, without implementing the first step heat treatment in tubular method, only the second step heat treatment in Tenter method was given, fusion of films occurred during the second step heat treatment. Besides, the bowing ratio was high and the ease to cut straight was poor at the side part. According to control examples 62 and 63, the composition of the film to be used had a different composition of the film easy to split which is gotten in the condition of this invention. Therefore, an ease to cut straight was poor in either of the center part and the side part.

Experimental example 87

0056The film manufacture equipment to be used in experimental examples 87-93 is equipped with the following: extruder; biaxially orienting equipment in tubular method (see Figure 12); first heating equipment in Tenter method (see Figure 14); trimming equipment; air intervention equipment; second heating equipment in Tenter method (see Figure 15); and winding machine. Next, the production way of the film easy to split which can be obtained in the condition of this experimental example which used this production equipment is explained. Mixture between Ny6 and MXD6 at the weight ratio of 60:40 is fusion kneaded at 270 degree in an extruder, dissolved material was extruded from a die with diameter of 90mm as a film in the form of circular cylinder and quickly cooled, and a raw film was made. next, this raw film was inserted among a pair of pinch rollers and heated the heater while impressing gas inside. At the same time, air was blasted from air ring to expand into air in the beginning of orienting, and the bubble is folded flat through a guide board, and wound by a pair of pinch rollers at lower-stream in order to biaxially orient in the tubular method to the direction of MD and the direction of TD simultaneously. The magnification during this orienting was 3.0 to both directions of MD and TD. Next, this flat film was sent to the first heating equipment, then, the first step heat treatment was given to the film for 5 seconds at 120 degrees with both side parts kept by the Tenter (see Figure 14). The relaxation ratio of the film at this time was 5%. Next, both side parts of a flat film were cut into two films with a trimming equipment and these films are separated with a roller so that the inner surface contacted an atmosphere. Those are put together again by being passed through rollers with the groove continuously. Next, these films were sent to the second heating equipment, then, the second step heat treatment was given to the film for 10 seconds at 210 degrees with both side parts kept by the Tenter (see Figure 15). The relaxation ratio of the film at this time was 5%. Next, these films easy to split which were thermally treated were sound with a winding machine. Then, in this experimental example, the fusion condition of the films at the time of the first, second step heat treatments were evaluated. Measurement and an evaluation result for bowing ratio of films after first and second step heat treatments and ease to cut straight of the obtained film at the center part and side part to direction of width are shown in the following Table 31. In the column of fusion, a circle shows no occurrence of fusion, a triangle shows that fusion occurs but it is delaminated with some power, and a cross shows that fusion occurs. The bowing ratio was measured like experimental example 81. The ease to cut straight was evaluated like experimental example 74.

Experimental examples 88-93

0057In the above experimental example 87, mixing rate between Ny6 and MXD6 and temperature and relaxation ratio of the first and second step heat treatments are set as in Table 30, a film easy to split which is gotten in the condition of experimental example 88-93 was gotten from a manufacturing process like experimental example 87. Film easy to split which is gotten in condition of each experimental example was also measured and evaluated from fusion conditions, bowing ratio and ease to cut straight, like in the experimental example 87. Those results are shown in Table 31.

Control examples 64-70

0058In the above experimental example 87, mixing rate between Ny6 and MXD6 and temperature and relaxation ratio of the first and second step heat treatments are set as in Table 30, a film which is gotten in the condition of control example 64-70 was gotten from a manufacturing process like experimental example 87. Film which is gotten in condition of each control example was also measured and evaluated from fusion conditions, bowing ratio and ease to cut straight, like in the experimental example 87. Those results are shown in Table 31.

Consideration of the experimental examples 87-93 and the control examples 64-70

0059According to Tables 30 and 31, production way of film easy to split which is gotten in condition of experimental examples 87-93 shows that there is no fusion of film easy to split occurred in the first step heat treatment and in the second step heat treatment. Also, bowing of a film easy to split after the first step and second step heat treatments is limited to minimum, and it was shown that the ease to cut straight is good in both of the center part and the side part of the film easy to split. On the other hand, control example 64 shows that a fusion of the film occurred at the time of this first step heat treatment since its treatment temperature was beyond the temperature range of this invention. Comparative example 65 shows that the ease to cut straight was poor at the side part of the film since the relaxation ratio at the time of the second step heat treatment was beyond the range of this invention. Comparative example 66 shows that fusion occurred during the second step heat treatment and film could not be commercialized, since the second step heat treatment was not properly implemented under the condition in which air was intervened between separated films. Comparative example 67 shows that bowing of the film after second step heat treatment became big since the temperature during second step heat treatment was beyond the range of this invention. Therefore, the ease to cut straight was poor at side part of the film and the part could not be commercialized. Comparative example 68 shows that bowing of film after heat treatment became big since the first step heat treatment was not implemented and the step heat treatment wasn't properly implemented under the condition in which air was intervened between separated films. Similarly, the ease to cut straight was poor at side part of the film. Comparative example 69 shows that because the temperature of first step heat treatment was lower than the temperature range of this invention, fusion of the film occurred during the second step heat treatment, bowing of the film after the heat treatment was big. Similarly, the ease to cut straight was poor at side part of the film. Comparative example 70 shows that the ease to cut straight was poor at both of the film center part and the side part since the film composition was only nylon 6. The film easy to split which is gotten in the condition of this invention has not only an excellent ease to split and an ease to cut straight, but also is equipped with enough strength. Besides, if the production way of the film easy to split which is gotten in the condition of this invention is used, these characteristics of a film easy to split can be favorably obtained. <tables
