Manufacture method to blooming 1 is unqualified.Method that can application of known is made blooming 1.For example, will contain the resin combination moulding of (methyl) acrylate copolymer (c) and form film, resulting film will be carried out two-way stretch, make blooming 1 thus.
The method that the resin combination moulding is formed film is not particularly limited, is moulding by casting for example, melt extrudes moulding, compression moulding.
As mentioned above, (methyl) acrylate copolymer (c) is difficult to take place thermal decomposition.Therefore, blooming 1 can preferably utilize the moulding manufacturing that melt extrudes.
Melt extruding moulding for example implements at the resin combination that contains (methyl) acrylate copolymer (c).For example, other the mixers such as components utilising Omni (オ system ニ) mixer in (methyl) acrylate copolymer (c) and this resin combination are carried out premixed after, from mixing roll, extrude mixing resulting potpourri, can form resin combination thus.Mixing roll can be suitable for known mixing roll (for example, single screw extrusion machine, the such extruder of double screw extrusion machine) and pressurization kneader.
For melt extruding moulding, for example carry out according to T modulus method, blow moulding.The temperature (forming temperature) that melt extrudes moulding be preferably more than 200 ℃ and below 350 ℃, more preferably more than 250 ℃ and below 300 ℃, more preferably more than 255 ℃ and below 300 ℃, be preferably more than 260 ℃ especially and below 300 ℃.
When utilizing the T modulus method, reel, can obtain being wound on the film on the roller by will the film of extruding the extruder of T mould being installed from leading section.At this moment, can be by control coiling temperature and speed, can be at film extrude direction stretched (unilateral stretching).
Using in melt extruding moulding under the situation of extruder, the kind of extruder is not particularly limited, can be single screw rod, twin-screw and multiscrew.The resin combination that contains (methyl) acrylate copolymer (c) in order to make fully plastifies and obtains good mixing state, the L/D value of extruder (L is that length, the D of the machine barrel of extruder is the internal diameter of machine barrel) be preferably more than 10 and 100 following, more preferably 15 or more and below 80, more preferably more than 20 and below 60.The L/D value less than 10 situation under, abundant plasticizing resin composition sometimes, and can not obtain good mixing state.Under the L/D value surpassed 100 situation, shear heat evolution excessively was applied to resin combination, so the composition that resin combination the contained easy thermal decomposition that becomes.
In this case, the design temperature of machine barrel is preferably more than 200 ℃ and below 350 ℃, more preferably more than 250 ℃ and below 320 ℃.Design temperature less than 200 ℃ situation under, the melt viscosity that contains the resin combination of (methyl) acrylate copolymer (c) becomes too high, the throughput rate of film reduces.Surpass under 350 ℃ the situation at design temperature, thermal decomposition takes place in composition that resin combination contained easily sometimes.
In melt extruding moulding, use under the situation of extruder, the shape of extruder is not particularly limited.Extruder preferably has the open row gas port portion more than 1.By using such extruder, can attract to divide from open row gas port portion and vent one's spleen.Thus, the amount that remains in the volatile ingredient in the resulting film reduces.To vent one's spleen in order attracting to divide, for example to make open row gas port portion be in decompression state from open row gas port portion.The vacuum tightness of this moment in the pressure (absolute pressure) of open row gas port portion be preferably 1.3hPa above and 931hPa is following, more preferably more than the 13.3hPa and below the 798hPa.Pressure in open row gas port portion is higher than under the situation of 931hPa, and volatile ingredient and/or the monomer that decomposition produced by the composition that resin combination contained remain in the resulting film easily.On the other hand, in the industrial level that is difficult to the pressure of open row gas port portion is remained below 1.3hPa.
When melt extruding moulding, preferably, the resin combination that contains (methyl) acrylate copolymer (c) that uses polymer filter will be in molten condition carries out melt filteration.By melt filteration, the foreign matter that is present in the resin combination is removed.Therefore, reduce the optical defect in the blooming finally obtain and the amount of apparent shortcoming.As mentioned above, (methyl) acrylate copolymer (c) is difficult to take place thermal decomposition, therefore is difficult to produce foaming when melt filteration.But, can become the reason of the shortcoming that in resulting film, produces perforation, current mark and this class of flow liner in the melt filteration under the too high temperature.These shortcomings particularly take place when film continuously shaped easily.Consider these situations, in order to shorten the residence time of said composition in polymer filter by the melt temperature that reduces resin combination, the temperature that melt extrudes moulding for example is more than 200 ℃ and below 350 ℃, be preferably more than 250 ℃ and below 320 ℃.
