Abstract

A cast raw sheet for a capacitor film, prepared by heating and melting a polypropylene resin and extruding the resin from a T-die, wherein the polypropylene resin has: a weight average molecular weight, determined by gel permeation chromatography, of 100,000 or more and 500,000 or less; and a molecular weight distribution Mw/Mn of 7 or more, the resin contains 97% by mass or more of an isotactic component that is an extraction residue obtained by sequential extraction, and the cast raw sheet contains a β-form in a proportion of 1% or more and less than 20%, the proportion being determined by X-ray diffraction intensity.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A capacitor film prepared by biaxially drawing a cast raw sheet, wherein the cast raw sheet is prepared by heating and melting a polypropylene resin and extruding the resin from a T-die, wherein the extruded resin is cooled and solidified on at least one metal drum, the temperature of which is maintained at 90 to 120° C., wherein the polypropylene resin has:
a weight average molecular weight, determined by gel permeation chromatography, of 290,000 or more and 370,000 or less; and
a molecular weight distribution Mw/Mn of 7.1 to 8.2;
wherein the resin comprises;
an isotactic component in a proportion of 97.2-97.8% by mass when measured by sequential extraction,
and
a stereoblock component in a proportion of 0.9% by mass or more and 1.3% by mass or less, when measured by said sequential extraction as the proportion soluble in n-pentane, n-hexane and n-heptane;
wherein the cast raw sheet comprises a β-form in a proportion of 9% or more and 17% or less, the proportion being determined by X-ray diffraction intensity; and
wherein the film has a thickness of 2.8 μm to 4.0 μm.

2. The capacitor film according to claim 1 , wherein the polypropylene resin is prepared by subjecting a propylene monomer to a slurry polymerization, and the slurry polymerization of the propylene monomer is a multistage polymerization reaction using plural polymerization reactors.

3. The capacitor film according to claim 1 , wherein the polypropylene resin has a crystallization rate 1/t 1/2 of 0.6 min −1 or more and less than 3 min −1 , the crystallization rate being determined at a crystallization temperature of 120° C. using a differential scanning calorimeter.

4. The capacitor film according to claim 1 , wherein the film has a haze value of 3.1 to 4.1%.

5. A method of producing a capacitor film, comprising:
a first step of preparing a raw pellet containing a polypropylene resin,
wherein the resin has a weight average molecular weight, determined by gel permeation chromatography, of 290,000 or more and 370,000 or less; and a molecular weight distribution Mw/Mn of 7.1 to 8.2 ; and
wherein the resin comprises an isotactic component in a proportion of 97.2-97.8% by mass when measured by sequential extraction, and a stereoblock component in a proportion of 0.9% by mass or more and 1.3% by mass or less, when measured by said sequential extraction as the proportion soluble in n-pentane, n-hexane and n-heptane,

a second step of heating and melting the raw pellet at 170° C. to 320° C.;
a third step of extruding the resin composition obtained by the second step from a T-die;
a fourth step of cooling and solidifying the resin composition obtained by the third step on at least one metal drum, the temperature of which maintaining at 90° C. to 120° C. to obtain an un oriented cast raw sheet, wherein the unoriented cast raw sheet comprises a β-form in a proportion of 9% or more and 17% or less, the proportion being determined by X-ray diffraction intensity; and
a fifth step of biaxially drawing the unoriented cast raw sheet obtained by the fourth step to obtain the capacitor film wherein the film has a thickness of 2.8 μm to 4.0 μm.

6. The method according to claims 5 , wherein the polypropylene resin has a crystallization rate 1/ t1/2 of 0.6 min −1 or more and less than 3 min −1 , the crystallization rate being determined at a crystallization temperature of 120° C. using a differential scanning calorimeter.
