Abstract

Objects of the present invention are to provide a film for an agricultural greenhouse that can maintain a CO2 concentration necessary for the photosynthesis of plants even when ventilation is not performed and to provide an agricultural greenhouse using the film. The film for an agricultural greenhouse of the present invention is a cellulose film which contains a cellulose acylate resin and has an equilibrium moisture content of 4% to 8% at a temperature of 25° C., a relative humidity of 80% and a thickness of 60 to 200 μm.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A film for an agricultural greenhouse that is a cellulose film, comprising:
a cellulose acylate resin; and
a plasticizer,
wherein the film has an equilibrium moisture content falling within a range of 4% to 8% at a temperature of 25° C. and a relative humidity of 80% and a thickness falling within a range of 60 to 200 μm,
wherein the plasticizer is an ester-based plasticizer containing a polyether ester represented by the following Formula (A) or an ether-based plasticizer containing a polyether represented by the following Formula (B), and
wherein a content of the plasticizer, with respect to 100 parts by mass of the cellulose acylate resin, is 10 to 70 parts by mass,

in Formula (A), R 1 represents a divalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 2 to 10 carbon atoms, R 2 each independently represents a divalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, R 3 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, or an acyl group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, n each independently represents an integer of 1 to 20, p represents an integer of 1 to 15, and a plurality of R 1 's, R 2 's, and n's contained in a repeating unit may be the same as or different to each other, and
in Formula (B), R 4 represents a divalent aliphatic hydrocarbon group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms, R 5 and R 6 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, an aryl group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms, an acyl group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, a (meth)acryloyl group, or a group represented by the following Formula (b) obtained by polymerization of a (meth)acryloyl group, m represents an integer of 1 to 20, and a plurality of R 4 's contained in a repeating unit may be the same as or different to each other, and

in Formula (b), * represents an oxygen atom bonded to R 5 or R 6 in Formula (B), R 7 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, q represents an integer of 1 to 10, and a plurality of R 7 's contained in a repeating unit may be the same as or different to each other.

2. The film for an agricultural greenhouse according to claim 1 that has a light transmittance equal to or higher than 80%.

3. The film for an agricultural greenhouse according to claim 1 that has a water vapor permeability equal to or higher than 600 g/m 2 /24 h.

4. The film for an agricultural greenhouse according to claim 2 that has a water vapor permeability equal to or higher than 600 g/m 2 /24 h.

5. The film for an agricultural greenhouse according to claim 1 ,
wherein a degree of acetyl group substitution of the cellulose acylate resin falls within a range of 2.5 to 3.0.

6. The film for an agricultural greenhouse according to claim 2 ,
wherein a degree of acetyl group substitution of the cellulose acylate resin falls within a range of 2.5 to 3.0.

7. The film for an agricultural greenhouse according to claim 3 ,
wherein a degree of acetyl group substitution of the cellulose acylate resin falls within a range of 2.5 to 3.0.

8. The film for an agricultural greenhouse according to claim 4 ,
wherein a degree of acetyl group substitution of the cellulose acylate resin falls within a range of 2.5 to 3.0.

9. An agricultural greenhouse comprising:
a frame; and
a film,
wherein the film is the film for an agricultural greenhouse according to claim 1 and forms a space walled off from the outside by being spread over the frame.

10. An agricultural greenhouse comprising:
a frame; and
a film,
wherein the film is the film for an agricultural greenhouse according to claim 2 and forms a space walled off from the outside by being spread over the frame.

11. An agricultural greenhouse comprising:
a frame; and
a film,
wherein the film is the film for an agricultural greenhouse according to claim 3 and forms a space walled off from the outside by being spread over the frame.

12. An agricultural greenhouse comprising:
a frame; and
a film,
wherein the film is the film for an agricultural greenhouse according to claim 4 and forms a space walled off from the outside by being spread over the frame.

13. An agricultural greenhouse comprising:
a frame; and
a film,
wherein the film is the film for an agricultural greenhouse according to claim 5 and forms a space walled off from the outside by being spread over the frame.

14. An agricultural greenhouse comprising:
a frame; and
a film,
wherein the film is the film for an agricultural greenhouse according to claim 6 and forms a space walled off from the outside by being spread over the frame.

15. An agricultural greenhouse comprising:
a frame; and
a film,
wherein the film is the film for an agricultural greenhouse according to claim 7 and forms a space walled off from the outside by being spread over the frame.

16. An agricultural greenhouse comprising:
a frame; and
a film,
wherein the film is the film for an agricultural greenhouse according to claim 8 and forms a space walled off from the outside by being spread over the frame.

17. The agricultural greenhouse according to claim 9 that does not have a ventilation means for exhausting internal air within the space to the outside.

18. The agricultural greenhouse according to claim 10 that does not have a ventilation means for exhausting internal air within the space to the outside.

19. The agricultural greenhouse according to claim 11 that does not have a ventilation means for exhausting internal air within the space to the outside.
