Abstract

An aspect of the present invention is a method for producing a resin film, including a casting step of casting a resin solution containing a transparent resin from a casting die onto a running support to form a cast membrane, and a releasing step of releasing the cast membrane from the support, wherein, in the casting step, a velocity at which the resin solution is discharged from longitudinally opposite ends of a discharge port of the casting die is 0.95 times to 1.5 times a velocity at which the resin solution is discharged from a longitudinally central portion of the discharge port of the casting die.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for producing a resin film, comprising:
a casting step of casting a resin solution containing a transparent resin from a casting die onto a running support to form a cast membrane; and
a releasing step of releasing the cast membrane from the support,
wherein the casting die includes a manifold portion, a discharge port through which the resin solution is discharged and cast onto the support, and a slit portion between the manifold portion and the discharge port to allow the resin solution to pass from the manifold portion toward the discharge port,
in the casting step, a discharge velocity at which the resin solution is discharged from longitudinally opposite ends of a discharge port of the casting die is 0.95 times to 1.5 times a discharge velocity at which the resin solution is discharged from a longitudinally central portion of the discharge port of the casting die, and
the slit portion is subjected to a surface treatment which is an ultrachrome plating treatment and the treatment is only at longitudinally opposite ends of the slit portion so that each of the longitudinally opposite ends of the slit portion has a surface energy which is lower than that of a central portion of the slit portion by 10 mN/m to 30 mN/m, thereby setting the discharge velocity at the longitudinally opposite ends of the discharge port to be 0.95 to 1.5 times the discharge velocity in the longitudinally central portion of the discharge port.

2. The method for producing a resin film according to claim 1 , wherein the resin solution has a viscosity of 30 Pa·s to 80 Pa·s as measured at 30° C. using a rotational viscosimeter.

3. The method for producing a resin film according to claim 1 , wherein a running speed of the support is 60 m/min to 150 m/min.

4. The method for producing a resin film according to claim 1 , wherein the resin film has a width of 1,500 mm to 3,000 mm.

5. A casting die for casting a resin solution containing a transparent resin onto a running support to form a cast membrane, the die comprising:
a manifold portion, a discharge port through which the resin solution is discharged and cast onto the support, and a slit portion between the manifold portion and the discharge port to allow the resin solution to pass from the manifold portion toward the discharge port,
the split portion is subjected to a surface treatment which is an ultrachrome plating treatment and the treatment only at longitudinally opposite ends of the split portion so that each of the longitudinally opposite ends of the split portion has a surface energy which is lower than that of a central portion of the split portion by 10 mN/m to 30 mN/m, thereby setting the discharge velocity at the longitudinally opposite ends of the discharge port to be 0.95 to 1.5 times the discharge velocity in the longitudinally central portion of the discharge port.

6. A device for producing a resin film, comprising:
a support that is able to run;
a casting die for casting a resin solution containing a transparent resin onto the running support to form a cast membrane on the support; and
a releasing portion that releases the cast membrane from the support,
wherein the casting die is the casting die comprises, a manifold portion, a discharge port through which the resin solution is discharged and cast onto the support, and a slit portion between the manifold portion and the discharge port to allow the resin solution to pass from the manifold portion toward the discharge port, and
the split portion is subjected to a surface treatment which is an ultrachrome plating treatment and the treatment only at longitudinally opposite ends of the split portion so that each of the longitudinally opposite ends of the split portion has a surface energy which is lower than that of a central portion of the split portion by 10 mN/m to 30 mN/m, thereby setting the discharge velocity at the longitudinally opposite ends of the discharge port to be 0.95 to 1.5 times the discharge velocity in the longitudinally central portion of the discharge port.
