Abstract

Disclosed is a film for a tire inner liner including a base film layer having an absolute weight-average molecular weight of 50,000 to 1,000,000, and an adhesive layer, and a method for manufacturing the film for a tire inner liner. The film for a tire inner liner may exhibit excellent gas barrier properties while having a thin thickness and lighter weight, and thus improves fuel efficiency, allows easier construction during its preparation, has excellent mechanical properties including high durability and fatigue resistance, and provides excellent adhesive strength to a tire carcass layer.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A film for a tire inner liner, comprising:
a base film layer comprising a polyamide-based resin and a copolymer comprising a polyamide-based segment and a polyether-based segment; and
an adhesive layer formed on at least one side of the base film layer and comprising a resorcinol-formalin-latex (RFL)-based adhesive, and
the base film layer has an absolute weight-average molecular weight of 50,000 to 1,000,000.

2. The film for a tire inner liner according to claim 1 , wherein the base film has a specific refractive index increment (dn/dc) of 0.04 to 0.14 mL/g at a temperature of 40 ° C. using a 0.02 M of tetramethyl ammonium chloride containing 1:4 mixed solvent of m-cresol and chloroform.

3. The film for a tire inner liner according to claim 1 , wherein the polyamide-based resin has a relative viscosity (sulfuric acid, 96% solution) of 3.0 to 3.5.

4. The film for a tire inner liner according to claim 1 , wherein the copolymer comprising the polyamide-based segment and the polyether-based segment has an absolute weight-average molecular weight of 50,000 to 1,000,000.

5. The film for a tire inner liner according to claim 1 , wherein the polyamide-based segment of the copolymer comprises a repeating unit of the following Chemical Formula 1 or Chemical Formula 2:

in Chemical Formula 1, R 1 is a C1-20 liner or branched alkylene group or a C7-20 liner or branched arylalkylene group,

in Chemical Formula 2, R 2 is a C1-20 linear or branched alkylene group, and R 3 is a C1-20 linear or branched alkylene group or a C7-20 liner or branched arylalkylene group.

6. The film for a tire inner liner according to claim 1 , wherein the polyether-based segment of the copolymer comprises a repeating unit of the following Chemical Formula 3:

in Chemical Formula 3,
R 5 is a C1-10 linear or branched alkylene group, and n is an integer of from 1 to 100, and
R 6 and R 7 may be identical or different, and are independently a direct bond, —O—, —NH—, —COO—, or —CONH—.

7. The film for a tire inner liner according to claim 1 , wherein a weight ratio of the polyamide-based segment and the polyether-based segment is 6:4 to 3:7.

8. The film for a tire inner liner according to claim 1 , wherein a weight ratio of the polyamide-based resin and the copolymer is 6:4 to 3:7.

9. The film for a tire inner liner according to claim 1 , wherein the base film layer has a thickness of 30 to 300 μm, and the adhesive layer has a thickness of 0.1 to 20 μm.

10. The film for a tire inner liner according to claim 1 , wherein the base film layer is an unstretched film.

11. The film for a tire inner liner according to claim 1 , wherein the resorcinol-formalin-latex (RFL)-based adhesive comprises 2 to 30 wt % of a condensate of resorcinol and formaldehyde, and 68 to 98 wt % of latex.

12. The film for a tire inner liner according to claim 1 ,
wherein the content of the polyether-based segment of the copolymer is 15 to 50 wt % based on the total weight of the base film layer.
