(a) Industrial Application Field The present invention relates to a method for surface treatment of polypropylene film, and more particularly to an effective method for corona discharge treatment of polypropylene film. (B) Prior Art Polypropylene film is widely used as a packaging material due to its excellent mechanical properties, chemical properties, transparency, water vapor barrier properties, etc. To address the drawbacks of polypropylene films such as poor surface adhesion such as adhesion of printing ink and vapor deposition of metals such as aluminum, it is widely practiced to subject the film surface to corona discharge treatment. However, simple corona discharge treatment does not fully satisfy market demands, especially in cases where stronger adhesive strength is required or when general-purpose printing inks such as cellophane ink or water-based ink are used. In such cases, methods such as anchor coating the film surface or using adhesive resin have been used in combination, but there still remain practical problems regarding adhesion.
Furthermore, the current situation is that it causes problems such as poor transparency and blocking between films. On the other hand, many methods for improving adhesion by performing corona discharge treatment in an inert gas atmosphere such as nitrogen gas have been introduced (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 147528/1983).
However, this does not completely solve the problem of poor adhesion. Furthermore, JP-A-58-225132 discloses a corona discharge treatment device in which at least one pair of electrodes are arranged facing each other and a discharge side electrode is surrounded by a hood, and a plastic molded article (including a polypropylene film) is used. When continuously carrying in corona discharge treatment, the plastic molded product is heated with a metal roll at the same time as or before the corona discharge, and a gas excluding air and oxygen is introduced into the hood. On the other hand, there is provided a corona discharge treatment method for a plastic molded article, characterized in that the corona discharge treatment is performed while the gas body is actively discharged from the discharge side electrode or its vicinity to the outside of the hood. However, the effect of this improvement is insufficient. (c) Problems to be Solved by the Invention The present invention was made in view of the above-mentioned current situation regarding polypropylene films, and concerns the adhesion of printing inks, particularly cellophane inks, water-based inks, etc., and the problems with metals such as aluminum. The object of the present invention is to provide a method for surface treatment of polypropylene film having excellent surface adhesion properties such as vapor deposition properties. (d) Means for Solving the Problems The method for surface treatment of a polypropylene film of the present invention will be described in detail below. When the surface of a polypropylene film is subjected to a corona discharge treatment, the temperature of the gas atmosphere for the corona discharge treatment is increased to 60°C. It is characterized by a temperature of ~150℃. In the present invention, polypropylene refers to propylene homopolymers, copolymers with ethylene, butene-1, etc., modified products of these with maleic anhydride, acrylic acid, etc., and combinations thereof with the same or other thermoplastic resins. It refers to a mixture, etc., and additives such as antistatic agents, slip agents, and antioxidants, and fillers may be added. Further, the film is formed by a known method, and may be a laminate with other materials having a layer made of polypropylene on the surface, regardless of whether or not it is stretched. It also includes sheet-like thick materials. The corona discharge treatment is performed using a known corona discharge treatment apparatus such as a vacuum tube method or a thyristor method under commonly used treatment conditions, such as a distance of 0.5 to 10 mm between the discharge electrode and the film to be treated, and a treatment amount of 30 to 30 mm.
It is done in the range of 300W/m 2 /min. In the present invention, when the surface of the polypropylene film is subjected to corona discharge treatment, it is essential that the temperature of the gas atmosphere for the corona discharge treatment is 60 to 150°C, preferably 80 to 150°C. If the ambient temperature is less than 60°C, a sufficient improvement effect regarding surface adhesion cannot be obtained. Note that the gas atmosphere for the corona discharge treatment in the present invention may be air, or may be substituted with nitrogen gas, carbon dioxide gas, or other inert gas, but among these, a nitrogen gas atmosphere is most preferable. Give results. In addition, in the present invention, the temperature of the processing atmosphere is set to 60°C.
In order to maintain the temperature above .degree. C., it is efficient to cover the area from the discharge treatment bar to the treatment roll through which the processed film passes with a hood or the like. In addition, in order to stabilize the processing atmosphere by avoiding room-temperature air accompanying the film to be processed into the processing atmosphere, it is preferable to continuously introduce atmospheric gas into the processing atmosphere. It is more preferable to introduce a preheated atmospheric gas than to introduce a room temperature atmospheric gas by providing a heating device in the atmosphere. Further, by preheating the film to be treated and then subjecting it to the corona discharge treatment, further improvement in the treatment effect can be achieved. (e) Effect In the surface treatment method for polypropylene film of the present invention, corona discharge treatment is performed at a treatment atmosphere temperature of 60 to 150°C, so that the atmospheric gas on the surface of the film to be treated can be maintained at a high level of activity, and the surface This enables effective treatment for improving adhesion. (f) Examples Examples 1 to 6, Comparative Examples 1 and 2 25μ thick polypropylene (manufactured by Mitsubishi Yuka Co., Ltd., Mitsubishi Noblen FL6CK, melt index 2.3g/10 minutes) was molded according to a conventional method. After preheating the biaxially stretched film to the temperature shown in Table 1 using a heating roll, or without preheating, corona discharge treatment was performed under the atmospheric gas and temperature shown in Table 1. The processing apparatus used is one that covers the processing atmosphere with a hood and can continuously supply atmospheric gas heated to the temperature shown in Table 1 into the hood at a rate of 200 g/min. While running at a speed of 20 m/min, the discharge processing amount was 60 W/m 2 /
It was treated as a minute. A commercially available cellophane ink (manufactured by Toyo Ink Mfg. Co., Ltd., Cellocolor ST) was applied to each corona discharge-treated film, and aluminum was vapor-deposited using a Perugia vapor deposition machine. A cellophane tape was applied to the adhering surface so as not to create air bubbles, and when it was rapidly peeled off, the state of the ink or aluminum peeling was evaluated based on the following criteria, and the results are shown in Table 1. Grade 5: No peeling at all Grade 4: Less than 10% peeling Grade 3: Peeling more than 10% but less than 50% Grade 2: Peeling more than 50% Grade 1: Peeling all over without resistance

[Table] Examples 7, 8, Comparative Examples 3, 4 A laminate of the same polypropylene used in Examples 1 to 6 and a modified product obtained by modifying the polypropylene to contain 0.3% by weight of maleic anhydride was used. A laminated biaxially stretched film having a thickness of 24 μm for the former and 1 μm for the latter was preheated to the temperature shown in Table 2 using a heating roll or without preheating, and the modified layer side was placed in the atmosphere shown in Table 2. Corona discharge treatment was performed under gas and ambient temperature. Note that the processing conditions were the same as in Examples 1 to 6. Each film after treatment was evaluated in the same manner as in Examples 1 to 6, and the results are shown in Table 2. Comparative Example 5 Corona discharge treatment of polypropylene film was carried out in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1, except that the temperature of the heating roll used for corona discharge was set at 90°C, and the temperature of the nitrogen gas to be supplied was maintained at 40°C. When evaluated, the peeling condition of the cellophane ink was grade 3, and the peeling condition of vapor-deposited aluminum was grade 3.
