Abstract

To provide a biaxially stretched polyester resin film that has excellent properties equal to or better than those of biaxially stretched polyester film that does not use recycled raw material, and in particular that has an excellent flexural resistance in low-temperature environments. A biaxially stretched polyester resin film that characteristically satisfies both of the following properties (1) and (2): (1) in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), after heating from 25° C. to 300° C. at a heating rate of 20° C./minute and holding for 10 minutes at 300° C., the temperature of crystallization during cooling at a cooling rate of 40° C./minute is 160° C. to 180° C.; and (2) the number of pinholes after the execution of 200 repetitive cycles of a flexural fatigue test in a −10° C. atmosphere using a Gelbo Flex Tester is not more than 10/500 cm 2 .

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1 . A biaxially stretched polyester resin film characterized in that the film satisfies the following properties (1), (2), and (3):
(1) in differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), after heating the film from 25° C. to 300° C. at a heating rate of 20° C./minute and holding for 10 minutes at 300° C., the temperature of crystallization during cooling at a cooling rate of 40° C./minute is 160° C. to 180° C.; (2) a number of pinholes after the execution of 200 repeating cycles of a flexural fatigue test in a −10° C. atmosphere using a Gelbo Flex Tester is not more than 10/500 cm 2 ; and (3) a concentration of carboxyl end groups is 20 to 60 eq/t.

2 . The biaxially stretched polyester resin film according to claim 1 , wherein a haze of the film is not more than 10.0%.

3 . The biaxially stretched polyester resin film according to claim 1 , wherein a surface crystallinity as determined by infrared spectroscopic analysis (ATR-IR) using a total reflection measurement method is 1.1 to 1.4.

4 . The biaxially stretched polyester resin film according to claim 1 , having a thickness of not more than 50 μm and having a tensile elongation in both the MD direction and TD direction of at least 100%.

5 . The biaxially stretched polyester resin film according to claim 1 , having a b* value of 0 or less.
