Abstract

The present invention relates to a polyvinyl acetal resin film, comprising a polyvinyl acetal resin material, wherein the polyvinyl acetal resin film has a thickness of 10 to 350 μm, one surface has a 10-point average roughness Rz value of less than 2 μm and a friction angle of larger than 31° but 40° or smaller, the other surface has a 10-point average roughness Rz value of 2 μm to 7 μm and a friction angle of 20° to 31°, a viscosity of a toluene/ethanol (1:1, mass ratio) solution containing 10%-by-mass of a polyvinyl acetal resin contained in the polyvinyl acetal resin material, which is measured at 20° C. and 30 rpm using a Brookfield-type (B-type) viscometer, is 100 to 1,000 mPa·s, and the amount of a plasticizer in the polyvinyl acetal resin film is 0 to 20% by mass based on a total mass of the polyvinyl acetal resin film.

Claims (23)

1 . A polyvinyl acetal resin film, comprising a polyvinyl acetal resin material,

wherein

the polyvinyl acetal resin material comprises a polyvinyl acetal resin,

the polyvinyl acetal resin film has a thickness of from 10 to 350 μm,

one surface of the polyvinyl acetal resin film has a 10-point average roughness Rz value of less than 2 μm and a friction angle of larger than 31° but 40° or smaller,

the other surface of the polyvinyl acetal resin film has a 10-point average roughness Rz value of from 2 μm to 7 μm and a friction angle of from 20° to 31°,

the 10-point average roughness Rz values are values determined in accordance with JIS B0601-1994,

the friction angles are values determined in accordance with the inclination method prescribed in JIS P8147,

a viscosity of a toluene/ethanol (1:1, mass ratio) solution containing 10%-by-mass of the polyvinyl acetal resin, which is measured at 20° C. and 30 rpm using a Brookfield-type viscometer, is from 100 to 1,000 mPa·s, and

the polyvinyl acetal resin film comprises a plasticizer in an amount of from 0 to 20% by mass based on a total mass of the polyvinyl acetal resin film.

2 . The polyvinyl acetal resin film according to claim 1 , wherein an absolute difference between the friction angle of one surface and that of the other surface is from 2° to 10°.

3 . The polyvinyl acetal resin film according to claim 1 , wherein an absolute difference between the 10-point average roughness Rz value of one surface and that of the other surface is from 1 μm to 5 μm.

4 . The polyvinyl acetal resin film according to claim 1 , wherein the viscosity of the toluene/ethanol (1:1, mass ratio) solution containing 10%-by-mass of the polyvinyl acetal resin, which is measured at 20° C. and 30 rpm using a Brookfield-type viscometer, is 300 mPa·s or lower.

5 . The polyvinyl acetal resin film according to claim 1 , wherein the viscosity of the toluene/ethanol (1:1, mass ratio) solution containing 10%-by-mass of the polyvinyl acetal resin, which is measured at 20° C. and 30 rpm using a Brookfield-type viscometer, is higher than 200 mPa·s.

6 . The polyvinyl acetal resin film according to claim 1 , wherein the polyvinyl acetal resin has a molecular weight distribution of 2.7 or higher.

7 . The polyvinyl acetal resin film according to claim 1 , wherein the polyvinyl acetal resin is a mixture of at least two polyvinyl acetal resins having different viscosity-average polymerization degrees, or an acetalized product of a mixture of at least two polyvinyl alcohol-based resins having different viscosity-average polymerization degrees.

8 . A laminate, comprising:

a plurality of transparent substrates; and

the polyvinyl acetal resin film according to claim 1 between the plurality of transparent substrates.

9 . The laminate according to claim 8 , further comprising a plasticized polyvinyl acetal resin layer.

10 . The laminate according to claim 8 , wherein the transparent substrate is a glass.

11 . A vehicle, comprising:

a glass comprising the laminate according to claim 8 .
