Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

[Problem to be solved] To provide a water-soluble film having good transparency and good releasability from a support with less surfactant content.[Solution] A water-soluble film containing a polyvinyl alcohol resin and surfactant, wherein a content of the surfactant is 0.005 to 1 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the polyvinyl alcohol resin, and a ratio S(0)/S(32) of an abundance amount S(0) of the surfactant on at least one surface of the water-soluble film to an abundance amount S(32) of the surfactant on a cross-section surface at a depth of 32 nm from the at least one surface of the water-soluble film, measured by a count number of fragment ions derived from the surfactant detected by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry on the at least one surface of the water-soluble film, is in the range of 100 to 500.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A water-soluble film containing a polyvinyl alcohol resin and surfactant, wherein a content of the surfactant is 0.005 to 1 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the polyvinyl alcohol resin, and a ratio S(0)/S(32) of an abundance amount S(0) of the surfactant on at least one surface of the water-soluble film to an abundance amount S(32) of the surfactant on a cross-section surface at a depth of 32 nm from the at least one surface of the water-soluble film, measured by a count number of fragment ions derived from the surfactant detected by time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry on the at least one surface of the water-soluble film, is in the range of 100 to 500. 2 . The water-soluble film as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the surfactant is a nitrogen-containing surfactant. 3 . The water-soluble film as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the nitrogen-containing surfactant contains at least one selected from the group consisting of an alkylamine-based surfactant, an alkylamide-based surfactant and an alkylalkanolamide-based surfactant. 4 . The water-soluble film as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the alkylamine-based surfactant is a polyoxyethylene alkylamine-based surfactant, and the alkylamide-based surfactant is a higher fatty acid diethanolamide-based surfactant. 5 . The water-soluble film as claimed in claim 1 containing a filler. 6 . The water-soluble film as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the filler is inorganic particles. 7 . A package in which the water-soluble film as claimed in claim 1 stores a chemical. 8 . The package as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the chemical is a pesticide, a detergent or a disinfectant. 9 . The package as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the chemical is in a liquid form.
