Technical Field: The present invention relates to transparent plastics having moisture-proof properties, and in particular to transparent plastics that stably maintain high moisture-proof properties over a long period of time. Prior Art: Packaging materials, especially packaging materials used for packaging foods, medicines, chemical products, etc., must have a moisture-proofing function to prevent the contents from deteriorating.
To this end, conventionally, for example, aluminum foil has been bonded to a base plastic film to take advantage of the moisture-proof properties of the aluminum foil. Although the packaging material in this case has excellent moisture resistance, the transparency of the base plastic film is impaired and the contents cannot be seen through. Moreover, since the flexibility is extremely reduced, pinholes may occur. Another example of the packaging material is a vinylidene chloride/fluorine resin film which itself has moisture-proof properties. These films must be thick for applications where moisture resistance is strictly required, and various problems arise in the manufacturing process. Attempts have also been made to improve moisture resistance by vacuum-depositing metallic aluminum onto the surface of plastic. However, since the aluminum vapor-deposited film is opaque, when it is used as a packaging material, the contents cannot be seen through. Furthermore, since the adhesion strength between the vapor-deposited aluminum and the base film is relatively low, there is a risk that peeling may occur at the interface. In order to improve these drawbacks of conventional packaging materials, for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 52-16077 discloses a thin film of a composition of SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 -B 2 O 3 containing SiO 2 as the main component. It has been proposed as a protective layer on the surface of single crystals. However, since this composition component has poor water resistance, it cannot be used as a protective layer as a moisture-proof film. Furthermore, since it is a three-component system, variations in composition tend to occur when a film is formed by vapor deposition. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION: An object of the present invention is to provide a transparent plastic that has high moisture resistance without impairing the transparency of the transparent Motosaka plastic. Another object of the present invention is to provide a transparent plastic that does not deteriorate over time and has stable moisture resistance over a long period of time. Summary of the invention: The transparent plastic of the present invention comprises a transparent plastic substrate, a magnesium oxide vapor-deposited thin film on the substrate,
The above object is achieved by sequentially laminating a vapor-deposited thin film of at least one of aluminum oxide and zirconium oxide on the magnesium oxide vapor-deposited thin film. Examples of transparent plastics that can be used as the base material include polyvinyl chloride, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyester, nylon, polyvinylidene chloride, and polyvinyl alcohol. Of course, there is no need to be limited to this. The smoother the surface of the plastic substrate, the better. Note that the base material may be plate-shaped or may be a lens-shaped molded body. The transparent plastic of the present invention is obtained as follows: A transparent plastic substrate is first placed at a predetermined position in a vacuum chamber evacuated to a high degree of vacuum. Then, magnesium oxide (MgO) inserted into the evaporation source crucible in the vacuum chamber is heated by a known heating method such as electron beam heating, resistance heating, or high frequency induction heating. This heating generates magnesium vapor to form a thin magnesium oxide film with a thickness of 100 to 5000 Å on the plastic substrate. When the thickness of the magnesium oxide thin film is less than 100 Å, it is difficult to form a uniform continuous film, resulting in an extremely poor moisture-proofing performance. When the thickness exceeds 5000 Å, cracks are likely to occur due to residual stress in the film, leading to a decrease in moisture resistance. Since the moisture-proof performance is proportional to the thickness of the magnesium oxide thin film, the thickness is appropriately selected depending on the application. Although the magnesium oxide thin film thus obtained has extremely high moisture resistance, it has chemical reactivity with carbon dioxide gas and turns into magnesium carbonate. Therefore, immediately after forming a magnesium oxide thin film, it has high moisture resistance, but if left in the air for a long time, it reacts with carbon dioxide gas in the air to produce magnesium carbonate, and the moisture resistance performance decreases accordingly. Therefore, by forming a thin film with poor reactivity with carbon dioxide gas and high barrier properties as a protective layer on the magnesium oxide, a moisture-proof film that does not deteriorate in performance over time can be obtained. The protective layer is made of at least one of aluminum oxide and zirconium oxide, and is formed on the magnesium oxide thin film in the same manner as the magnesium oxide thin film. The desired effect can be achieved if the thickness of the protective layer is 100 Å or more.
However, from the viewpoint of crack resistance, the sum of the thickness of the magnesium oxide layer and the thickness of the protective layer is preferably 5000 Å or less. As the vapor deposition method, a vacuum vapor deposition method, an ion plating method, a sputtering method, etc. are employed. There is no difference in the performance of the thin films obtained by either method. Regarding the transparency of the formed thin film, magnesium oxide, aluminum oxide, and zirconium oxide all have high transparency, and do not impair the transparency of the final plastic product. The adhesion between the deposited thin film and the base material is also good, and it can pass the cellophane tape peeling test according to JIS D-0202. The transparent plastic thus obtained does not swell with water and can maintain extremely stable properties. Examples The present invention will be described below with reference to examples. Example 1 A biaxially stretched polypropylene film having a thickness of 25 μm was placed in a vacuum chamber as a base film. After the vacuum chamber was evacuated to 1×10 -4 Torr in advance, magnesium oxide with a purity of 99.9% was deposited to a thickness of about 1000 Å by electron beam heating. On this magnesium oxide thin film, aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) with a purity of 99% was then deposited to a thickness of 1000 Å by electron beam heating. The transparent vapor-deposited film thus obtained was left in a carbon dioxide atmosphere at a temperature of 40°C for 20 days, but no change in transparency was observed. The moisture permeability and transparency are shown in the table. Moisture permeability is 40℃/90% based on JIS Z-0208
This is the water vapor transmission rate at RH. Transparency is determined by visual observation; those with excellent transparency are marked as +, those that are good, and those that are opaque as -.
Display in . Example 2 A transparent vapor-deposited film was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that an aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) thin film was formed to a thickness of 500 Å on the magnesium oxide thin film. The obtained film was left in a carbon dioxide atmosphere at 40°C for 7 days, but no change in transparency was observed. The moisture permeability and transparency are shown in the table. Example 3 In the same manner as in Example 1, a zirconium oxide (ZrO 2 ) thin film was formed on a magnesium oxide thin film to a thickness of 1000 mm.
Formed in Å. The obtained film was left in a carbon dioxide atmosphere at 40°C for 7 days, but no change in transparency was observed. The moisture permeability and transparency are shown in the table. Example 4 In the same manner as in Example 1, a zirconium oxide (ZrO 2 ) thin film was deposited to a thickness of 500 Å on a magnesium oxide thin film.
was formed. The obtained film was left in a carbon dioxide atmosphere at 40°C for 7 days, but no change in transparency was observed. The moisture permeability and transparency are shown in the table. Example 5 In the same manner as in Example 1, an aluminum oxide thin film was deposited on a magnesium oxide thin film with a thickness of approximately 1000 Å.
After forming the zirconium oxide thin film to a thickness of about 300 Å, a zirconium oxide thin film was further formed on the aluminum oxide thin film to a thickness of about 300 Å. The obtained film was left in a carbon dioxide atmosphere at 40°C for 7 days, but no change in transparency was observed. The moisture permeability and transparency are shown in the table. Comparative Example 1 A magnesium oxide thin film having a thickness of about 1000 Å was formed in the same manner as in Example 1. When the obtained film was left in a carbon dioxide atmosphere at 40°C for 7 days, it became slightly cloudy. The moisture permeability and transparency are shown in the table.
