In poly ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer film 5c, on its single face, form vapor-deposited film 5a, abutted to form the coating layer 5b that in polyvinyl alcohol, contains organic/inorganic substance with this vapor-deposited film 5a, as a whole, comprised that poly ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer film 5c has constituted 3 layers layer laminate 5.The integral thickness of this layer laminate 5 is more than the 16 μ m.
And laminated film 2 possesses the polyethylene terephthalate thin film 4 that has vapor-deposited film 4a on single face on the outside of poly ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer film 5c.The polyethylene terephthalate thin film 4 that has vapor-deposited film 4a on single face is that the water vapor penetrability of 40 ℃ of 90%RH is 0.9g/m 2The film that/day is following.As shown in Figure 2, the vapor-deposited film 4a with polyethylene terephthalate thin film 4 adjacency is that face contacts with coating layer 5b.
For the vacuum heat insulation material of the present embodiment that constitutes in the above-described manner, below its effect of explanation.
At first, in constituting the laminated film 2 of vacuum heat insulation material, the relation table of the oxygen penetration of the integral thickness of layer laminate shown in Figure 25 and 100 ℃ of 0%RH is shown in Table 1.In table 1, the integral thickness of layer laminate 5 is expressed as covering material+VM-EVOH thickness.VM-EVOH is meant the polyethylene terephthalate thin film 4 with vapor-deposited film 4a.
Here; the laminate film 2 that is used to estimate comprises following structure; from outermost surface; its have as the thickness of resin layer 3 of protection usefulness be 25 μ m nylon film (below; be called " Ny "); contain thickness and be the vapor-deposited film 4a of 12 μ m polyethylene terephthalate thin film (below; be called " PET-VM ") 4; the coating layer 5b that in thickness is the polyvinyl alcohol of 1 μ m, contains organic/inorganic substance; contain vapor-deposited film 5a the poly ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer film (below; be called " VM-EVOH ") 5c; as the thickness of hot melt coating 6 is the no extended polypropylene film (below, be called " CPP ") of 50 μ m.Here, the thickness of VM-EVOH is made into 11 μ m, 13 μ m, 15 μ m, 17 μ m.

This is based on following effect.
VM-EVOH5c comes crystallization by extending orientation on manufacturing process, particularly little by little two extensions, and the solid structure at fibrillating on the bearing of trend can be stretched on width direction in advance.Thus, on VM-EVOH5c, produce defective, have and cause the not characteristic of gentle punching of stretching.
In other words,, there is the limit aspect the suitable thickness,,, can not causing the not gentle punching of stretching, because the thickness of VM-EVOH5c is suitably changed by increasing thickness so do the time spent at the compression pressure that as vacuum heat insulation material, is subjected to atmosphere by processing.
Simultaneously, on single face, have among the VM-EVOH5c of vapor-deposited film 5a,, also have the effect that reduces oxygen penetration, improves the gas barrier performance by further on vapor-deposited film 5a, being arranged on the coating layer 5b that contains organic/inorganic substance in the polyvinyl alcohol.
By in the high polyvinyl alcohol of oxygen breathability, containing organic/inorganic substance, make mineral filler be dispersed in the polyvinyl alcohol.And mineral filler is stacked densely, and when making oxygen or water vapor by coating layer, the effect of balk board is played in the mineral filler meeting, so the gas permeation path of can extending significantly.In other words, the thickness that the effect of playing just likes the polyvinyl alcohol layer that the gas barrier performance is high increases tens of times.
Further, by being arranged on the coating layer 5b that contains organic/inorganic substance in the polyvinyl alcohol on vapor-deposited film 5a, and the effect that has is: improve the evaporation effect,, gas barrier performance good with the adaptation of aluminium-vapour deposition film uprises.
In table 1, the value of oxygen penetration is 1.0ml/m 2Below/the day/MPa.Owing to can't measure than its low value, so adopt this kind mark here.On the VM-EVOH5c with vapor-deposited film 5a, further when the thickness of the film that is arranged on the coating layer 5b that contains organic/inorganic substance in the polyvinyl alcohol on vapor-deposited film 5a was 16 μ m to 18 μ m, can infer in fact also was the low film of oxygen penetration.
Therefore, VM-EVOH5c have on the single face vapor-deposited film 5a, with the coating layer 5b that in polyvinyl alcohol, contains organic/inorganic substance of this vapor-deposited film 5a adjacency, constitute poly ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer layer 5 as a whole.By the integral thickness that makes this poly ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer layer 5 is more than the 16 μ m, and the value that can make oxygen penetration is 1.0ml/m 2Below/the day/MPa, realize the low film of oxygen penetration.
By more than, when using in the purposes under the high temperature of vacuum heat insulation material about 100 ℃, because gas barrier performance height, can not be subjected to the influence of outside oxygen etc., so the extremely difficult deterioration by the time that causes the heat-shielding performance of vacuum heat insulation material.Therefore, vacuum heat insulation material of the present invention can obtain the life expectancy of sufficient thermal-protective material, can realize high reliability.
In addition, on VM-EVOH5c, and then on vapor-deposited film 5a, have the coating layer 5b that in polyvinyl alcohol, contains organic/inorganic substance, owing to use film to be used for vacuum heat insulation material, be the material of possess hydrophilic property so should expect poly ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer and polyvinyl alcohol with this spline structure.
That is, in the film of the moisture absorption that contains the poly ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer, can relax the intermolecular combination of the material that constitutes film.Perhaps, in the film of the moisture absorption that contains polyvinyl alcohol copolymer, can relax the hydrogen combination of the material that constitutes film.Thus, because the noncrystalline demi-inflation in the film, penetrability increases, the problem of film characteristics deterioration so can produce oxygen.
Therefore, in the present embodiment,, and be conceived to the film characteristics relevant with the water vapor penetrability as the deterioration strategy that prevents the film characteristics relevant with oxygen penetration.In order to improve the film characteristics relevant with this water vapor penetrability, as shown in Figure 2, produce on the VM-EVOH5c with vapor-deposited film 5a, further fitting in the film outside with coating layer 5b has polyethylene terephthalate thin film 4 materials of vapor-deposited film 4a.
Table 2 is illustrated in the laminated film 2 by the structure that constitutes with Fig. 2 identical materials and thickness, has the relation of the oxygen penetration of the water vapor penetrability of water vapor penetrability, laminated film 2 of 40 ℃ of 90%RH of PET-VM4 of vapor-deposited film 4a and 100 ℃ of 0%RH.
Here, the water vapor penetrability of 40 ℃ of 90%RH shown in the table 2, expression will be made 90%RH as the Ny side of PET-VM4 and resin layer 3 with JIS Z0208 (cup envelope method), measure the result of the mean value of sample 4.
From the result shown in the table 2 as can be seen, the water vapor penetrability with PET-VM4 of vapor-deposited film 4a is 0.9g/m 2When/day was following, the water vapor penetrability of laminated film 2 and oxygen penetration became very low.That is, the water vapor penetrability is at 0.3g/m 2Below/the day, and oxygen penetration is at 1.0ml/m 2Below/the day/MPa, improved the characteristic of film.
Table 2

0.9 0.3 1.0 below
1.0 0.6 1.5
1.2 0.9 2.3
1.8 1.5 3.6
This is based on following effect.
Water vapor penetrability with PET-VM4 of vapor-deposited film 4a is made up of film density, thickness and film and is decided, and the water vapor penetrability is 0.9g/m 2About/day, can be estimated as the condition that the suitableeest film density, thickness and film are formed.Therefore, poly ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer and polyvinyl alcohol are difficult to hygroscopic moisture steam, are difficult to cause noncrystalline demi-inflation in the film etc., so the water vapor penetrability of laminated film 2 also becomes extremely low.
The result who brings thus is, the deterioration of the film characteristics that the oxygen penetration that accompanies with the moisture absorption of poly ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer and polyvinyl alcohol is related also is difficult to produce.
And then, in the present embodiment, make the face of the vapor-deposited film 4a of the PET-VM4 with vapor-deposited film 4a, contact with the coating layer 5b face that coating layer 5b is arranged on the film on the VM-EVOH5c with vapor-deposited film 5a, finish lamination.
Therefore, the hole that vapor-deposited film 4a, 5a are had is configured the material institute landfill of coating layer 5b, is bonded with each other between the face of vapor-deposited film 4a, 5a.Thus, the hole that then can polishing vapor-deposited film 4a, 5a be had so uprise as the vapor-deposited film density of laminated film 2, produces the effect that reduces oxygen penetration and water vapor penetrability, improves film characteristics.
In the present embodiment, to contain thickness be that above poly ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer layer 5 of 16 μ m and the water vapor penetrability that has 40 ℃ of 90%RH on this layer outside are 0.9g/m to laminated film 2 2The PET-VM4 of the vapor-deposited film 4a that/day is following.
As above, in the present embodiment, poly ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer layer 5, just on the VM-EVOH5c, the layer that has vapor-deposited film 5a and form at single face with the coating layer 5b of this vapor-deposited film 5a adjacency, by the thickness that makes monolithic film membrane is more than the 16 μ m, can reduce oxygen penetration, so can improve film characteristics.
And then laminated film 2 is to possess the PET-VM4 that contains vapor-deposited film 4a on single face on the outside of poly ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer layer 5, and this vapor-deposited film 4a is that the water vapor penetrability as 40 ℃ of 90%RH is 0.9g/m 2The film that/day is following.The vapor-deposited film 4a of this PET-VM4 is that face contacts with the coating layer 5b of poly ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer layer 5.Thus, by keep the film moisture-proof relevant with kilter, can improve the gas barrier performance of 2 pairs of oxygen of laminated film etc. with the water vapor penetrability.
So the vacuum heat insulation material of present embodiment even use in the purposes under the high temperature about 100 ℃, does not have yet and is subjected to outside oxygen influence etc., thus the extremely difficult heat-shielding performance that causes vacuum heat insulation material through the time deterioration.Therefore, vacuum heat insulation material of the present invention can obtain the heat-resisting time limit of sufficient thermal-protective material, can realize high reliability.
Mode of execution 2

Here, the vacuum heat-insulation container is to occupy internal layer and outer field dual structure are arranged, and is provided with the space of vacuum decompression within it between layer and the skin, and it is called as " magic bottle ".Material mainly uses stainless steel.
Fig. 4 is 14 a oblique drawing of employed vacuum heat insulation material in the vacuum flask 10 of embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in Figure 4, in the vacuum flask 10 of embodiment of the present invention 14 of employed vacuum heat insulation material,, and be processed into flat vacuum heat insulation material 14 cylindric for the outer circumferential face along overlay content device 12 curls.The part of joint is to wait by band with Adhesion force or binder to connect.There is no particular restriction for the material of band and binder, so long as can connect with the material of keeping cylindrical shape just passable.
In the present embodiment, the part towards being applied by hot melt each other between the core sheath material on every side of vacuum heat insulation material 14 is bent the outside at inner container 12.Thus, the part of being applied by hot melt of sheath material is folded to the outside of inner container, makes the temperature step-down of the part that the hot melt of sheath material applies.
In fact, the vacuum flask 10 of present embodiment is that 3L, initial stage water temperature are that 20 ℃, insulation water temperature are that 90 ℃, atmosphere temperature are under 20 ℃ the condition in the water yield, and when measuring sheath material and being applied the temperature of part by hot melt, circumference temperature everywhere all is below 65 ℃.
And vacuum heat insulation material 14 is the materials that are made of core, sheath material at least.Core can be the such inorfil system of glass fibre, rock wool, the powder system that organic fiber is, silica is such that polyester fibre is such etc., and there is no particular restriction.
Sheath material is the laminated film that is made of a plurality of films.In the present embodiment, on the hot melt coating of sheath material, use the material adopt low density polyethylene for example and to make.
Here, the structure of laminated film that is used for described temperature measuring is identical on the two sides, all is to be that the nylon film of 25 μ m, nylon film, the thickness that thickness is 15 μ m are that 6 μ m aluminium foils, thickness are the straight chain shape low-density polyethylene film of 50 μ m from the thickness that outermost surface begins.
And the continuous heat resisting temperature boundary of straight chain shape low density polyethylene is 95 ℃ to 100 ℃, is that 130 ℃, the continuous heat resisting temperature boundary of high density polyethylene (HDPE) are 110 ℃ and compare with polyacrylic continuous heat-resisting boundary, has the low characteristic of continuous heat resisting temperature boundary.
Table 3 is figure of properties of materials difference used in the hot melt coating of laminated film of expression sheath material.That is, represent that relatively low density polyethylene (hereinafter referred to as " LDPE "), straight chain shape low density polyethylene (hereinafter referred to as " LLDPE "), metalloscene catalyst are the property difference of straight chain shape low density polyethylene (hereinafter referred to as " mLLDPE "), high density polyethylene (HDPE) (hereinafter referred to as " HDPE "), polypropylene (hereinafter referred to as " CPP ").
As can be seen from Table 3, the difference of LDPE and HDPE can be decided by density.That is, if compare 940kg/m 3High density is exactly HDPE, if compare 940kg/m 3Low density is exactly various LDPE.
But in the time can not judging LDPE and HDPE with density, the fusing point shown in the table 3 is made judgement by inquiry.
And LDPE compares with polypropylene or HDPE, has the strong characteristic of mechanical strength such as anti-permeability, heat seal strength, tensile yield strength of laminated film.
Table 3
