Abstract

In the market, a film which adapted to environmental and barrier problems is desired. This report discusses the stretching stability and physical properties for biaxially oriented PA 6/ MXD 6 blending film produced by double bubble tubular film process. As MXD 6 blending ratio increased, the stretching stress decreased. Hydrogen bond is due to be suppressed by the steric hindrance of the MXD 6 resin. Blending film can be stretched stably and oxygen gas permeability is more excellent than PA 6. Further the film blended between 20 % and 40 % as MXD 6 blend ratio has the property of easy straight line cut. It is found that the plate-like cylinder structure was formed in the observation of TEM. However, thickness uniformity deteriorates when MXD 6 blending ratio exceeds 40 %. To improve the thickness uniformity, the influence of the kneading conditions was studied. When the melting point of MXD 6 decreased, the stretching stability deteriorated and mechanical properties drastically lowered. The excess reaction of the blending resins is not desirable. Stretchability, easy tear property and oxygen gas barrier property are maintained by following process conditions. In case of dry blending, MXD 6 30% is proper content. And in case of premixing, MXD 6 melting point keeps over 236°C. It was confirmed that there is the condition satisfying all properties. The blending film keeps the compatible performance of strength and easy tear property. Namely, the material and production technology of a film could solve environmental and barrier free problems.
