Abstract

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a surface protection film having superior oil resistance. Provided is a surface protection film having a coating layer obtained by curing an isocyanate compound, on one surface of a protection layer formed of a polyurethane.

Claims (23)

1 . A surface protection film having a coating layer consisting of a cured product obtained by reacting only an isocyanate compound, based on a polymeric MDI (di-phenylmethane-4,4′-di-isocyante) and inorganic fine particles with water in air, on one surface of a protection layer formed of polyurethane,

wherein the coating layer is positioned on an outermost surface of the surface protection film and is cured by water in air,

wherein the coating layer consists of the cured product obtained by reacting only the isocyanate compound, based on the polymeric MDI, and the inorganic fine particles with the water in the air, and the inorganic fine particles are silica particles with a particle size of 100 nm or less, wherein the protection film and the coating layer form a cross-linked structure by having a part of the isocyanate compound, based on the polymeric MDI, of the coating layer penetrate into the protection film and react with unreacted active hydrogen groups in the protection film, and

wherein an amount of the inorganic fine particles is 20 parts by weight or more and 60 parts by weight or less with respect to 100 parts by weight of the isocyanate compound, based on the polymeric MDI.

2 . The surface protection film according to claim 1 ,

wherein a transparent substrate film formed of a resin other than polyurethane is provided on the other surface of the protection layer.

3 . The surface protection film according to claim 1 ,

wherein the polyurethane is polycarbonate polyurethane or polyester polyurethane.

4 . The surface protection film according to claim 1 ,

wherein the protection layer has a thickness of 50 μm or more and 400 μm or less.

5 . A surface protection film laminate in which a mold release film is laminated on the surface on the side of the coating layer of the surface protection film according to claim 1 and a release film is laminated on the other surface.

6 . A method of producing a surface protection film in which at least two layers including a coating layer consisting of a cured product obtained by reacting only an isocyanate compound, based on a polymeric MDI (di-phenylmethane-4,4′-di-isocyante) and inorganic fine particles with water in air, and a protection layer formed of polyurethane are laminated in that order, wherein the method includes:

pouring a material composition into a gap between first and second gap maintaining members that are continuously conveyed by a pair of rollers which are disposed apart from each other;

thermally curing the material composition while the material composition is held between the first and second gap maintaining members to form the protection layer; and

peeling off one of the first and second gap maintaining members, applying a coating solution containing the isocyanate compound, based on the polymeric MDI and the inorganic fine particles, to an exposed surface of the protection layer, and curing the isocyanate compound, based on the polymeric MDI, to form a coating layer,

wherein the coating layer is positioned on an outermost surface of the surface protection film and is cured by water in air,

wherein the protection film and the coating layer form a cross-linked structure by having a part of the isocyanate compound, based on the polymeric MDI, of the coating layer penetrate into the protection film and react with unreacted active hydrogen groups in the protection film,

wherein the coating layer consists of the cured product obtained by reacting only the isocyanate compound, based on the polymeric MDI, and the inorganic fine particles with the water in the air, and the inorganic fine particles are silica particles with a particle size of 100 nm or less, and

wherein an amount of the inorganic fine particles is 20 parts by weight or more and 60 parts by weight or less with respect to 100 parts by weight of the isocyanate compound, based on the polymeric MDI.

7 . The method of producing a surface protection film according to claim 6 ,

wherein the other of the first and second gap maintaining members is a film on which no mold release treatment is performed, and one thereof is a film on which a mold release treatment is performed.

8 . The method of producing a surface protection film according to claim 6 ,

wherein one of the first and second gap maintaining members is a film having unevenness, and holding the material composition by the surface having the unevenness.
