Abstract

The present invention provides a biaxially oriented polyester film for a backsheet of solar batteries which exhibits a good hydrolysis resistance and a low haze. The present invention relates to a biaxially oriented polyester film for a backsheet of solar batteries, comprising titanium in an amount of not more than 20 ppm in terms of a titanium atom, phosphorus in an amount of not more than 70 ppm in terms of a phosphorus atom, and antimony in an amount of not more than 10 ppm in terms of an antimony atom; and having a carboxyl end group content of not more than 26 equivalents/t and an intrinsic viscosity of 0.65 to 0.90.

Claims (16)

1. A biaxially oriented polyester film for a backsheet of solar batteries, consisting essentially of

a polyester obtained by a step consisting of subjecting an aromatic dicarboxylic acid and an aliphatic glycol to polycondensation reaction,

titanium in an amount of not more than 20 ppm in terms of a titanium atom,

phosphorus in an amount of not more than 70 ppm in terms of a phosphorus atom, and

antimony in an amount of not more than 10 ppm in terms of an antimony atom; and

having a carboxyl end group content of not more than 26 equivalents/t and an intrinsic viscosity of 0.65 to 0.90 dL/g.

2. The biaxial oriented polyester film according to claim 1 , wherein the intrinsic viscosity is not less than 0.68 dL/g.

3. The biaxial oriented polyester film according to claim 1 having the carboxyl end group content of not more than 24 equivalents/t.

4. The biaxial oriented polyester film according to claim 1 having the carboxyl end group content of not less than 5 equivalents/t.

5. The biaxial oriented polyester film according to claim 1 comprising titanium in an amount of not more than 15 ppm in terms of a titanium atom.

6. The biaxial oriented polyester film according to claim 1 comprising titanium in an amount of not more than 12 ppm in terms of a titanium atom.

7. The biaxial oriented polyester film according to claim 1 comprising titanium in an amount of not more than 9 ppm in terms of a titanium atom.

8. The biaxial oriented polyester film according to claim 1 comprising titanium in phosphorus in an amount of not more than 50 ppm in terms of a phosphorus atom.

9. The biaxial oriented polyester film according to claim 1 comprising titanium in phosphorus in an amount of not more than 30 ppm in terms of a phosphorus atom.

10. The biaxial oriented polyester film according to claim 1 comprising antimony in an amount of not more than 8 ppm in terms of an antimony atom.

11. The biaxial oriented polyester film according to claim 1 comprising antimony in an amount of not more than 5 ppm in terms of an antimony atom.
