Definitions
- the present invention relates to a packaging material made of a polyamide, more particularly, it relates to a packaging material made of a copolymerized polyamide having excellent gas barrier properties, strength and heat resistance.
- a material having high gas barrier properties is required in packaging, especially in food packaging to elongate the shelf life of the food or to keep the freshness of the food.
- a packaging material having excellent oxgen barrier property is desired to prevent the progress of the deterioration of the food caused by the transmission of oxygen.
- a packaging material having excellent barrier property to carbon dioxide gas is desired for the container of a carbonated beverage, etc. to keep its refreshness.
- Various materials have been developed to meet the above requirements, for example, polyvinylidene chloride, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, polyamide, polyethylene terephthalate, etc., and various methods have been proposed.
- a gas barrier material such as polyvinylidene chloride or a saponified ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer (vide; Japanese Unexamined Patent Publications No. 117565/79 and No.

- Best Mode of Carrying out the Invention Copolymerized polyamide valuably used for the packaging material of the present invention comprises 10 to 90 mole% of tetramethylene adipamide units and 90 to 10 mole% of tetramethylene isophthalamide units. It has been unexpectedly found that by copolymerizing polytetramethylene adipamide with the isophthalic acid, the gas barrier property is highly improved as well as moldability.
- the ratio of tetramethylene adipamide unit and tetramethylene isophthalamide unit is preferably 20:80 to 80:20.
- the copolymerized polyamide layer having a tetramethylene adipamide content of not more than 90 has a rate of crystallization suitable for the drawing or stretching of said multi- layer structure.
- the ratio of tetramethylene adipamide unit exceeds 90, the rate of crystallization of the polymer becomes extremely high, and the clouding phenomenon tends to occur in the obtained molded article such as preform.
- the preform comprising the multi-layer structure above-mentioned must be preheated at the vicinity of 150°C in the drawing step, therefore, the clouding or crystallization of polyethylene terephthalate layer cannot be avoided.
- the copolymerized polyamide may comprises other comonomer component, so far as the characteristic properties are not degraded.
- the polyamide of the present invention contains other comonomer units in an amount of less than 20% of the whole recurring units, and a part of the tetramethylenediamine and a part of adipic acid or isophthalic acid are substituted with one or more kinds of other diamines, aminocarboxylic acids, lactam or dicarboxylic acids.
- the comonomer components are aliphatic diamines such as ethylenediamide, trimethylenediamine, hexamethylenediamine, etc.; aromatic diamines such as phenylenediamine, xylylene- diamine, 3,6-diaminoacridine, N-methyl-p-phenylenediamine, N,N-dimethyl-p-phenylenediamine, tolylenediamine, etc.; alicyclic diamines such as 1,2-diaminocylobutane, etc.; aliphatic aminocarboxylic acids such as glycine, alanine, valine, etc.; aromatic aminocarboxylic acids such as phenylalanine, amino- benzoic acid, etc.; alicyclic aminocarboxylic acids such as aminocyclohexanecarboxylic acid, etc.; lactam such as ⁇ propiolactam, r-butyrolactam, ⁇ -caprolactam
- the relative viscosity (r)rel; 1.0 wt% solution using 96% sulfuric acid as the solvent; measured at 20°C) of the polyamide of the present invention is preferably 2.0 or higher from the viewpoint of the strength of the obtained film or article.
- the copolymerized polyamide can be produced by the conventional method known as the process for the production of polyamide. For example, it can be produced by condensing tetramethylenediamine with isophthalic acid, and tetramethylenediamine with adipic acid to form respective salts, and subjecting the resultant reaction product to the polycondensation reaction.
- Various polycondensation catalysts, stabilizers, etc. can be used in the above production process. If necessary, other additives such as colorants fluorescent blighteners, oxidation stabilizers, ultraviolet absorbing agents, antistatic agents, flameretardants, etc. may be used in the process.
- the polyamide packaging material of the present invention is, for example, a film and a container such as bottle, cup, etc. produced by a molding method accompanying with the drawing process.
- the film or the sheet can be manufactured by the conventional methods known as the film-forming or sheet- forming methods.
- the resin is dried at a temperature not lower than 80°C for 30 minutes of more, melted and extruded with an extruder furnished with a T-die or I-die, etc., and quenched to obtain an undrawn film or sheet, which may be further drawn along uniaxial or biaxial directions to obtain a drawn film or sheet.
- the polyamide packaging material of the present invention is used for one component of a multi-layer structure.
- the multi-layer structure comprises a layer of self-supportable polymer component, such as polyethylene terephthalate, and a layer of the copolymerized polyamide component.
- the weight ratio of the copolymerized polyamide layer is preferably 5 to 50 wt%, especially 10 to 30 wt% to keep the physical properties and to attain high gas barrier properties of the obtained multi-layer drawn polyester sheet or bottle. Any combination of two of more polymers including the copolymerized polyamide may have an integral structure of a polymer-blend. The integral structure has also excellent gas barrier properties.
- the polyethylene terephthalate that can be used in combination with the polyamide packaging material of the present invention is a polyester comprising at least 80 mole% of ethylene terephthalate units based on the total recurring units.
- a part of the terephthalic acid component may be replaced by at least one member selected from bifunctional carboxylic acids; for example; aromatic dicarboxylic acids such as isophthalic acid, naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, diphenyldicarboxylic acid, diphenoxyethanedicarboxylic acid, diphenyl etherdicarboxylic acid, diphenylsulfonedicarboxylic acid; alicyclic carboxylic acids such as hexahydroterephthalic acid and hexahydroisophthalic acid; aliphatic dicarboxylic acids such as adipic acid, sebacic acid, and azelaic acid; and hydroxyacids such as p- ⁇ -hydroxyethoxybenzoic acid,

- a preform having multi-layer structure can be manufactured by the multi-layer injection molding process wherein the copolymerized polyamide is injected successively to the inner surface, outer surface or between the layers of polyethylene terephthalate.
- the draw ratio of the bottle at the barrel portion in the drawing of the blow expansion of the multi-layer preform is preferably 1.2 or more, especially 2 or more in terms of areal ratio.
- the packaging material of the present invention made of a polyamide has excellent gas barrier properties.
