Abstract

A reflective film includes a substantially non-drawn film having a layer A that includes a resin composition A containing a resin having a refractive index of less than 1.52 and titanium oxide. The titanium oxide has a refractive index of 2.5 or more, and a vanadium content of 5 ppm or less, and the film has a light reflectance of 95% or more to light having a wavelength of 550 nm, and a heat shrinkage ratio after treatment at 80° C. for 180 minutes of greater than −0.1% and less than 1.0% in both a longitudinal direction (MD) and in a transverse direction (TD).

Claims (11)

1. A reflective film comprising a layer A that includes a resin composition A containing a resin and titanium oxide, wherein the reflective film is a substantially non-drawn film, wherein the resin has a refractive index of less than 1.52, wherein the titanium oxide has a refractive index of 2.5 or more, and a vanadium content of 5 ppm or less, and wherein the film has a light reflectance of 95% or more to light having a wavelength of 550 nm, and a heat shrinkage ratio after treatment at 80°C. for 180 minutes of −0.1% or more and less than 1.0% in both a longitudinal direction (MD) and in a transverse direction (TD).

2. The reflective film as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the content of the titanium oxide is 10 mass % or more and 60 mass % or less in the resin composition A.

3. The reflective film as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising a layer B that includes a resin composition B containing a fine powder filler on an outer surface of the layer A, wherein the amount of the fine powder filler contained in the layer B is smaller than that of the titanium oxide contained in the layer A.

4. The reflective film as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the content of the titanium oxide is 30 mass % or more and 60 mass % or less in the resin composition A.

5. The reflective film as claimed in claims 1 , further comprising a layer B that includes a resin composition B containing a fine powder filler on an outer surface of the layer A, wherein the amount of the fine powder filler contained in the layer B is smaller than that of the titanium oxide contained in the layer A.

6. The reflective film as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the layer B contains 30 mass % or less of the fine powder filler in the resin composition B.

7. The reflective film as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the fine powder filler is titanium oxide.

8. The reflective film as claimed in claims 1 , wherein a surface of the titanium oxide is covered with at least one inert inorganic oxide selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina, and zirconia.

9. The reflective film as claimed in claims 1 , wherein the titanium oxide has an average particle diameter of 0.1 μm or more to 1.0 μm or less.

10. The reflective film as claimed in claims 1 , wherein the resin having a refractive index of less than 1.52 is at least one resin selected from the group consisting of polyolefin-based resins, acrylic-based resins, fluoro-based resins, and aliphatic polyester-based resins.

11. A reflective plate comprising the reflective film as claimed in claims 1 .
