Fluororesin film for agricultural use
View Patent ↗The present invention provides an agricultural fluororesin film having good optical transparency and good durability to repeated contact with other members and to repeated bending. The present invention relates to an agricultural fluororesin film, in which synthetic mica particles having an average particle size of 3 μm to 15 μm are dispersed in a film containing a fluororesin, in which the content of the synthetic mica particles is from 0.5 to 5 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the fluororesin.
1. An agricultural fluororesin film comprising: a fluororesin; and synthetic mica particles having an average particle size of from 3 μm to 15 μm and dispersed in the fluororesin, wherein the content of the synthetic mica particles is from 0.5 to 5 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the fluororesin, and wherein a treating agent selected from the group consisting of an alkyl group-containing silane coupling agent and a silicone compound is present on surfaces of the synthetic mica particles.
2. The agricultural fluororesin film according to claim 1 , wherein the treating agent is nonreactive silicone oil, and the content of the nonreactive silicone oil in the film containing the fluororesin is from 0.02 to 0.3 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the fluororesin.
3. The agricultural fluororesin film according to claim 1 , which has an initial tensile breaking strength of 50 MPa or more and a retention of a tensile breaking strength after 2,000-time sliding test of 80% or more.
4. The agricultural fluororesin film according to claim 1 , wherein the synthetic mica particles have an average particle size of from 3 μm to 10 μm.
5. The agricultural fluororesin film according to claim 1 , wherein the synthetic mica particles have an average particle size of from 3 μm to less than 6 μm, and the content thereof is from 3 to 5 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the fluororesin.
6. The agricultural fluororesin film according to claim 1 , wherein the synthetic mica particles have an average particle size of from 6 μm to less than 10 μm, and the content thereof is from 0.5 to 5 parts by mass based on 100 parts by mass of the fluororesin.
7. The agricultural fluororesin film according to claim 1 , which has a visible light transmittance of 90% or more.
8. The agricultural fluororesin film according to claim 3 , wherein the retention is 85% or more.
9. The agricultural fluororesin film according to claim 1 , wherein the synthetic mica is potassium tetrasilicon mica or fluorphlogopite.
10. The agricultural fluororesin film according to claim 1 , which has a haze of from 20 to 85%.
