Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A biaxially stretched polyester film, being a biaxially stretched film including a modified polybutylene terephthalate (modified PBT) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), wherein a mass ratio (modified PBT/PET) between the modified PBT and PET is 20/80 to 5/95, the modified PBT is a PBT containing 5 to 20% by mass of a polytetramethylene glycol unit having a molecular weight of 600 to 4,000, the amount of tetrahydrofuran (THF) generated by heat treating the biaxially stretched film in a helium gas atmosphere at 180° C. for 30 minutes is 50 μg/g or less, and the biaxially stretched film has tear linearity in a lengthwise direction thereof.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A biaxially stretched polyester film, being a biaxially stretched film comprising a modified polybutylene terephthalate (modified PBT) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET), wherein a mass ratio (modified PBT/PET) between the modified PBT and PET is 20/80 to 5/95, the modified PBT is a PBT containing 5 to 20% by mass of a polytetramethylene glycol unit having a molecular weight of 600 to 4,000, an amount of tetrahydrofuran (THF) generated by heat treating the biaxially stretched film in a helium gas atmosphere at 180° C. for 30 minutes is 50 μg/g or less, and the biaxially stretched film has tear linearity in a lengthwise direction thereof. 2. A biaxially stretched polyester film, wherein at least on one side of the biaxially stretched polyester film according to claim 1 , at least one of aluminum, aluminum oxide and silicon oxide is vapor deposited, and the biaxially stretched polyester film has a gas barrier property and tear linearity. 3. A method for producing the biaxially stretched polyester film according to claim 1 , wherein a modified polybutylene terephthalate (modified PBT) including 5 to 20% by mass of a polytetramethylene glycol unit having a molecular weight of 600 to 4,000 and giving an amount of tetrahydrofuran (THF), generated by heat treating in a helium gas atmosphere at 180° C. for 30 minutes, of 800 μg/g or less and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are mixed so as for a mass ratio (modified PBT/PET) between the modified PBT and PET to be 20/80 to 5/95, a film is formed from a resulting mixture and a formed film is stretched.
