Definitions

  • This invention relates to a heat sealable film.
  • Thermoplastic films suitable for packaging products are often required to exhibit a variety of properties, including heat sealability, tensile strength, transparency, machinability and barrier properties.
  • the package is formed and filled by creating a heat-seal between two opposed layers of film to form a pocket and almost simultaneously sliding or dropping the product into the pocket.
  • a continuous flat web of packaging film is fed around a form which shapes it into a tube, the tube is slipped over a hollow form and the free edges of the tube are sealed together.
  • the tube so formed is then passed between a pair of hot sealing jaws which create a series of discrete packages by collapsing the film onto itself and forming a seal by the application of heat and pressure.
  • the product is introduced into each package through the hollow form in the interval between the heat seals.
  • the product is dropped into the package while the sealing jaws, which form the seal, are closed.
  • the heat seal should be strong enough to support and retain the product after the sealing jaws open to release the film. It is often desirable to release the sealing jaws soon after the seal is formed so a film which accomplishes this by exhibiting a high "hot tack" is very useful.
  • heat sealable films which can be subjected to temperatures high enough to seal the films without causing the substrate to cockle or pucker.
  • One approach for achieving this is by coating a film substrate with a layer of heat sealable material which adheres strongly to the substrate and which can be melted at a temperature below the softening temperature of the substrate. Heat- sealable coatings with low melting temperatures are often preferred because the substrate is less likely to be damaged during heat sealing.
  • the outside of the film or the side of the film which comes in direct contact with the hot sealer surfaces should have good hot slip and jaw release characteristics. Additionally, the film should have good machinability so that the wrapped product can be conveyed easily through the overwrapping machine without sticking to adjacent packages or the parts of the machine with which it comes into machine without s contact, which can cause production delays.
  • the film should also have barrier properties. Acrylic-containing coatings which offer these properties are known. The acrylic-containing coating is applied to one side of the film substrate and another heat sealable coating, such as polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) , or another acrylic coating, is coated on the other side.
  • PVDC polyvinylidene chloride
  • Acrylic- containing coating formulations provide the film with a good coefficient of friction which contributes to good machinability characteristics. These acrylic-based coatings also provide the film with good barrier characteristics which improve flavor and aroma protection. Such coatings are described in U.S. 4,058,649 and 4,058,645.
  • the PVDC coating or other type of acrylic coating is usually on the inside of the film and provides high seal strength, good hot tack characteristics and barrier properties. These heat sealable coatings have glass transition (“Tg") temperatures which are higher than room temperature.
  • Tg glass transition
  • oriented polypropylene films having acrylic and ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer-containing coatings are sensitive to some types of food additives, for example, the proprietary release agents used in starch based candies. These coatings can also be sensitive to natural oils found in spices such as black pepper, anise and nutmeg. When placed in contact with these aggressive materials, the oriented polypropylene films pucker and deform giving the package a wrinkled and pocked appearance.
  • polyester film coated with PVDC offers moisture barrier properties. These films are useful in packaging starch-based candies, to preserve softness and prevent hardening.
  • the polyester is not affected by the reactive materials used in the products.
  • Significant amounts of PVDC are required for effective barrier properties.
  • PVDC contains chlorine, a halogen. Halogenated substances have been the subject of environmental concern, and for this reason it is desirable to minimize the use of PVDC in films.
  • polyester films usually have to be laminated to another web, such as polyethylene, for structural integrity (stiffness) . This is undesirable because it is an expensive process step and the packaging poses recycling problems because of the two-web structure.
  • the polyester films are more expensive than oriented polypropylene.
  • United States Patent No. 4,456,741 discloses heat sealable terpolymer compositions useful as pressure-sensitive adhesives for use with a backing material such as paper, polyester film or foamed polymers.
  • the terpolymer heat sealable pressure-sensitive adhesive composition comprises butyl acrylate,
  • N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone and styrene are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,696,082; and East German Patent No. DD-146,604.
  • Cold sealable pressure-sensitive adhesives have been developed. These adhesives do not require the use of a heated element to seal the packages. However, these adhesives have high surface tack characteristics making them adhere to uncoated surfaces of the packaging film which makes them difficult to use because of film blocking (i.e. sticking) .
  • Terpenes are useful moisture barrier additives and for this purpose they are often incorporated into oriented polypropylene film substrates.
  • terpenes have been found to migrate through the known coatings used on oriented polypropylene substrates. This additive migration has been found to reduce the hot tack of the film, which is particularly important in the vertical form and fill sealing processes. Terpene migration has also been reported to cause flavor degradation of foods. The components of some films will impart an undesirable odor and/or flavor to foods and other products.
  • the invention relates to a heat sealable coating for a thermoplastic film.
  • An object of the invention is to provide a coating formulation which has good barrier properties, resistance to aggressive materials at high temperatures, and which inhibits aggressive materials from migrating from the substrate to the packaged product and vice-versa.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a coated oriented polypropylene film which resists deformation at high temperatures and humidity and upon exposure to aggressive materials, but which does not contain halogenated materials and which need not be laminated to another film for structural integrity.
  • An important feature of the invention is the discovery of an acrylonitrile coating composition which blocks the migration of aggressive materials.
  • Another important feature of the invention is the discovery of an acrylonitrile coating composition for a packaging film which effectively prevents odor and taste degrading materials from impacting the flavor or smell of articles which are wrapped in the film without the use of a liner.

  • the (b) coating can comprise a significant proportion of a monomer such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, ester of acrylic acid or ester of methacrylic acid.
  • the term "acrylic coating” is a broad term which covers conventional acrylic protective film coatings mainly used for flavor and aroma barrier properties, machinability, printability and lap sealability. These acrylic coatings are described in U.S. Patent Nos. 4,058,645 and 4,058,649 which are incorporated herein by reference in their entireties.
  • the (b) acrylic coating comprises acrylonitrile and the formulation is the same or different from the (a) acrylonitrile-containing coating formulation used on the inside of the substrate.

If the amount of non-acrylic materials, such as acrylonitrile, exceed about 10 wt.% additional antiblocking additives may be needed. It has been found that the calculated T g of the (b) coating is usually at least about 35 °C, more preferably, from about 40°C to about 120°C, specifically about 50 to 120°C, especially when it comprises acrylonitrile.
  • a coating which provides good matting properties and a narrow sealing range is provided by a coating comprising a blend of acrylic-based polymer (such as Acrylic sold by Valspar) and the acrylonitrile heat seal coating of this invention.

  • the most preferred acrylonitrile concentration for purposes of making the inside coating of this invention ranges from more than about 25 wt.% up to about 50 wt.% based on the entire weight of the (a) polymer composition. This provides a balance between chemical resistance and film flexibility.
  • the glass transition temperature is important, the desired glass transition temperature cannot be achieved by just any monomer. That is, attaining the target glass transition temperature by exceeding the contemplated concentration of, for example, the (iii) monomer results in a moisture sensitive film.
  • the concentration of monomers which contribute to high T g values can exceed 35, 40 or even 50 wt.% in the coating for the outside surface.
