Polyester film for release film
View Patent ↗An object of the present invention is provide a polyester film useful as base for release film according to which when a ceramic slurry is applied on the release film, formation of pinholes in the ceramic slurry layer is suppressed prominently, and also when a ceramic layer is provided on the release film, thickness variation of the ceramic layer is lessened, thus realizing excellent releasability of the release film. A polyester film for release film, which has a maximum height of projection (Rmax) in one surface (surface A) of said polyester film, of not more than 500 nm; and has a thickness variation of not more than 5%.
1. A polyester film for release film, which has a maximum height of projection (Rmax) in one surface (surface A) of said polyester film, of not more than 500 nm; has a number of projections with a height of not less than 350 nm in the surface A, of not more than 200 per mm 2 ; and has a thickness variation defined by the following equation using the maximum, minimum and mean values of film thickness in the machine and transverse directions of said polyester film of not more than 5%:
Thickness variation (%)=(maximum thickness−minimum thickness)×100/average thickness.
2. A polyester film for release film according to claim 1 wherein center plane average roughness of the surface A, SRa (A), is not more than 20 nm, center plane average roughness of the side opposite from the surface A, SRa (C), is 10 to 50 nm, and the relation of SRa (C)≧ SRa (A) is satisfied.
3. A polyester film for release film according to claim 1 wherein film haze is not more than 20%.
4. A polyester film for release film according to claim 1 , which has a coextruded laminate structure with two or more layers.
5. A release film for green sheet comprising a polyester film set forth in claim 1 , which has a release layer on the surface A.
6. A release film comprising a polyester film and a release layer provided on one surface (surface A) of said polyester film, in which a maximum height of projection (Rmax) in the surface A of said polyester film is not more than 500 nm, a number of projections having a height of not less than 350 nm in the surface A is not more than 200 per mm 2 ; and thickness variation defined by the following equation using the maximum, minimum and mean values of film thickness in the machine and transverse directions of said polyester film of not more than 5%:
Thickness variation (%)=(maximum thickness−minimum thickness)×100/average thickness.
7. A release film according to claim 6 wherein center plane average roughness of the surface A, SRa (A), is not more than 20 nm, center plane average roughness of the side opposite from the surface A, SRa (C), is 10 to 50 nm, and the relation of SRa (C)≧ SRa (A) is satisfied.
8. A release film according to claim 6 wherein film haze is not more than 20%.
9. A release film according to claim 6 having a coextruded laminate structure with two or more layers.
