Abstract

A packaging film (F) made from two or more layers (D, I) is joined by an adhesive (C) and has a pre-cut line (L) in one of the layers which acts as a tear line for opening. The tear line is made in a layer of the film which has a tear strength away from the line greater than that of the other layer, while the whole film away from the tear line has a tear strength at least twice that on the tear line, and equivalent to at least 0.23 daN.

Description

L'invention est relative à un film avec prédécoupe du genre de ceux qui comprennent au moins deux couches, l'une des couches comprenant une matière plastique et étant prédécoupée suivant au moins une ligne de prédécoupe pour favoriser la déchirure du film, en particulier pour l'ouverture d'un emballage.The invention relates to a film with precut of the kind that includes at least two layers, one of the layers comprising a material plastic and being precut along at least one line precut to favor the tearing of the film, in especially for opening a package.

Le brevet FR-A-2 757 835 concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un emballage à partir d'au moins un film comportant une couche supérieure et une couche inférieure en matière plastique, constituant les faces externe et interne dudit emballage, et une couche centrale en métal léger prise en sandwich entre lesdites couches supérieure et inférieure. Selon ce procédé, au moins une ligne de prédécoupe est réalisée par un faisceau laser sur la couche inférieure.FR-A-2 757 835 relates to a process for manufacture of packaging from at least one film having an upper layer and a lower layer made of plastic, constituting the external faces and internal of said packaging, and a central layer of metal slight sandwiching between said upper layers and lower. According to this method, at least one line of precut is performed by a laser beam on the bottom layer.

EP-A-0 875 369 concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un emballage avec un film multicouche. La couche extérieure absorbe le rayonnement laser et comporte une ligne de prédécoupe, réalisée par faisceau laser, pour faciliter la déchirure. La couche inférieure est formée par un film thermoscellable qui n'absorbe pas le faisceau laser. La résistance à la déchirure de la couche prédécoupée, hors la ligne de prédécoupe, n'est pas comparée à la résistance à la déchirure de l'autre couche.EP-A-0 875 369 relates to a manufacturing process packaging with a multilayer film. Layer exterior absorbs laser radiation and has a pre-cut line, produced by laser beam, for facilitate tearing. The bottom layer is formed by a heat-sealable film which does not absorb the beam laser. The tear resistance of the layer pre-cut, outside the pre-cut line, is not compared to each other's tear resistance layer.

US-A-5 613 779 concerne un sachet réalisé avec un film multicouche. Une couche qui peut être située à l'extérieur ou à l'intérieur, ayant une grande résistance à la déchirure, comporte une fente de prédécoupe. L'autre couche qui n'est pas prédécoupée est présentée comme ayant également une résistance à la déchirure élevée. Selon ce document, il n'y a donc pas de différence sensible, dans la résistance à la déchirure, pour les deux couches.US-A-5 613 779 relates to a sachet produced with a multilayer film. A layer which can be located at outside or inside, having great resistance tear, has a pre-cut slot. The other layer which is not precut is presented as also having high tear resistance. According to this document, there is therefore no difference sensitive, in tear resistance, for two layers.

Dans un système d'association de deux couches dont l'une est prédécoupée, l'expérience a montré que la déchirure provoquée par un utilisateur ne suit pas toujours la ligne de prédécoupe et peut en dévier, ce qui est gênant et doit être évité.In a two-layer association system one of which is precut, experience has shown that the tear caused by a user does not follow always the pre-cut line and can deviate from it, which is bothersome and should be avoided.

En particulier des essais ont été effectués en utilisant comme couche prédécoupée un polypropylène (PP) très orienté qui se déchire de façon très linéaire lorsqu'il est seul (déchirure longitudinale, c'est-à-dire dans le sens de l'extrusion). Cette couche prédécoupée de polypropylène orienté a été associée à une couche de polyéthylène téréphtalate (PET) de sorte que la propriété de déchirure facile soit parallèle, c'est-à-dire concordante, avec la ligne de prédécoupe. On attendait un bon comportement à la déchirure, c'est-à-dire le long de la ligne de prédécoupe, en particulier en raison de la propriété de déchirure facile de la couche de polypropylène dans la direction de la prédécoupe. Or, un très mauvais comportement a été observé lors des essais, la déchirure s'écartant très facilement de la ligne de prédécoupe.In particular, tests have been carried out in using polypropylene (PP) as the pre-cut layer very oriented which tears in a very linear fashion when it is alone (longitudinal tear, i.e. in the direction of extrusion). This precut layer of oriented polypropylene has been combined with a layer of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) so that the property easy tear either parallel, that is to say concordant, with the precut line. We were waiting for a good tear behavior, i.e. along the precut line, especially due to the easy tear property of the polypropylene in the direction of the precut. Now, a very bad behavior was observed during the tests, the tear deviating very easily from the line of pre-cut.

L'invention a pour but, surtout, de fournir un film comprenant au moins deux couches dont l'une est prédécoupée selon une ligne de prédécoupe, et qui soit tel que la déchirure provoquée par un utilisateur suive bien la ligne de prédécoupe.The object of the invention is, above all, to provide a film comprising at least two layers, one of which is precut along a precut line, and either such as the tear caused by a user follows well the precut line.

Un tel résultat a pu être obtenu, de manière surprenante, avec une couche prédécoupée qui est suffisamment indéchirable pour que la déchirure suive bien la ligne de prédécoupe. D'une manière paradoxale, pour obtenir un film déchirable à au moins deux couches, dont l'une est relativement facilement déchirable et dont l'autre comporte une ligne de prédécoupe, on choisit pour la couche prédécoupée une couche suffisamment indéchirable.Such a result could be obtained, so surprising, with a precut layer which is sufficiently tear-proof for the tear to follow well the precut line. Paradoxically, to obtain a tearable film with at least two layers, one of which is relatively easily tearable and of which the other has a pre-cut line, we choose for the pre-cut layer one layer enough ripstop.

Selon l'invention, un film avec prédécoupe comprenant au moins deux couches, l'une des couches comprenant une matière plastique et étant prédécoupée suivant au moins une ligne de prédécoupe, est caractérisé par le fait que la couche prédécoupée présente, hors de la ligne de prédécoupe,une résistance à la déchirure supérieure à 0,3 décanewton (daN), tandis que l'autre couche non prédécoupée présente une résistance à la déchirure inférieure à 0,07 daN, et que le film présente une résistance à la déchirure, hors de la ligne de prédécoupe, égale à au moins deux fois sa résistance à la déchirure sur la ligne de prédécoupeAccording to the invention, a film with precut comprising at least two layers, one of the layers comprising a plastic material and being precut along at least one pre-cut line, is characterized by the fact that the precut layer has, out of the pre-cut line, tear resistance greater than 0.3 decanewton (daN), while the other uncut layer has resistance to tear less than 0.07 daN, and that the film has resistance to tearing, out of line pre-cut, equal to at least twice its resistance to tear on the precut line

De préférence, la résistance à la déchirure de la couche prédécoupée est au moins deux fois plus grande que celle de l'autre couche.Preferably, the tear resistance of the pre-cut layer is at least twice as large as that of the other layer.

Le film peut comprendre une couche d'aluminium, de papier, de cellulose , ou analogue.The film may include a layer of aluminum, of paper, cellulose, or the like.

La résistance à la déchirure est mesurée par un "test pantalon" (qui dérive de la norme NFT 54141) réalisé à 20°C, à une vitesse de 900 mm par minute. Les valeurs données sont chacune une moyenne correspondant à une durée de mesure de 20 secondes, au cours de laquelle la fréquence d'échantillonnage aura été de 50 millisecondes. Ces conditions de mesure s'appliquent à toutes les valeurs de résistance à la déchirure données par la suite.Tear resistance is measured by a "pants test" (which derives from standard NFT 54141) performed at 20 ° C, at a speed of 900 mm per minute. The values given are each an average corresponding to a measurement time of 20 seconds, during which the sampling frequency will have been 50 milliseconds. These measurement conditions apply to all given tear resistance values thereafter.

De préférence, la résistance à la déchirure du film hors de la prédécoupe est d'au moins 0,23 daN (décanewton).Preferably, the tear resistance of the film out of the precut is at least 0.23 daN (Decanewton).

De préférence, la couche prédécoupée présente une résistance à la déchirure comprise entre 0,5 daN et 2 daN (bornes comprises).Preferably, the precut layer has a tear resistance between 0.5 daN and 2 daN (terminals included).

Il est à noter que lorsqu'une plage de valeurs possibles pour une grandeur est indiquée dans la description et les revendications, la ou les bornes de la plage sont comprises. Cette précision ne sera pas répétée par la suite .Note that when a range of values possible for a quantity is indicated in the description and claims, the terminal (s) of the range are included. This precision will not be repeated thereafter.

Le cas échéant, les deux couches du film peuvent présenter une tendance à la délamination, ce qui favorise le suivi de la ligne de prédécoupe par la déchirure.If necessary, the two layers of the film can exhibit a tendency to delamination, which favors monitoring the pre-cut line by tearing.

La couche prédécoupée peut être en polymère ; le terme polymère doit être compris dans un sens général de sorte qu'il recouvre les copolymères, terpolymères, interpolymères, mélanges de polymères.The pre-cut layer may be made of polymer; the polymer term should be understood in a general sense of so that it covers copolymers, terpolymers, interpolymers, polymer blends.

Des exemples de matériaux pour la couche prédécoupée sont donnés ci-après :Examples of materials for the layer pre-cut are given below:

Polyamide orienté (OPA), polyamide cast (CPA), polypropylène orienté (OPP) incluant le polypropylène biorienté (BOPP), polyéthylène (PE), polypropylène (PP), polychlorure de vinyle (PVC), polystyrène (PS), polyméthacrylate de méthyle (PMMA), polychlorure de divinylidène (PVDC), polyfluorure de divinylidène (PVDF), polyéthylène naphtalate (PEN), polyester ce qui inclut le polyéthylène téréphtalate (PET) et le polybutylène téréphtalate (PBT), terpolymère acrylonitrile-butadiènestyrène (ABS).Oriented polyamide (OPA), polyamide cast (CPA), oriented polypropylene (OPP) including polypropylene bioriented (BOPP), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polychloride divinylidene (PVDC), polyvinyl divene fluoride (PVDF), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyester which includes polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), acrylonitrile-butadienestyrene terpolymer (ABS).

La nature de la couche non prédécoupée peut être choisie dans la même liste de matériaux que pour la couche prédécoupée, étant entendu que les matériaux des deux couches subissent des traitements différents entraínant leurs différences de résistance à la déchirure ; en outre, la couche non prédécoupée peut être en aluminium ou en papier.The nature of the uncut layer can be chosen from the same list of materials as for the pre-cut layer, it being understood that the materials of the two layers undergo different treatments causing their differences in resistance to tear ; in addition, the uncut layer can be made of aluminum or paper.

La couche prédécoupée et la couche non prédécoupée sont associées par tout procédé connu dans l'état de la technique, et adapté à la nature des couches. Des exemples de tels procédés sont donnés ci-après : complexage (utilisation d'une colle pour associer les couches, par exemple aluminium/polyoléfine comme le PE ou le PP) ; coextrusion ; calandrage (= lamination à chaud) ; extrusion couchage ; plaxage ; enduction.The pre-cut layer and the non-cut layer precut are associated by any process known in the state of the art, and adapted to the nature of the layers. Examples of such methods are given below : lamination (use of an adhesive to associate layers, for example aluminum / polyolefin such as PE or PP); coextrusion; calendering (= lamination at hot) ; coating extrusion; plaxing; coating.

Le film présente généralement une épaisseur comprise entre 30 et 300 µm .The film generally has a thickness between 30 and 300 µm.

Avantageusement, la couche prédécoupée représente au moins 20 % de l'épaisseur totale du film et de préférence au moins 50 %, voire 95 % de l'épaisseur totale.Advantageously, the precut layer represents at least 20% of the total thickness of the film and preferably at least 50% or even 95% of the thickness total.

La couche non prédécoupée présente généralement une épaisseur comprise entre 1 et 60 µm .The uncut layer usually has a thickness between 1 and 60 µm.

La prédécoupe selon une ligne en pointillé de la couche prédécoupée peut être réalisée selon l'une des manières suivantes :

  • Découpe mécanique, généralement par une lame à dents sous forme de roulette. La roulette roule sur le film défilant et perfore la couche sans enlèvement de matière, selon un pointillé. Une telle découpe mécanique est généralement réalisée avant assemblage de la couche prédécoupée avec l'autre couche. En général, la longueur non perforée entre deux trous est comprise entre 0,1mm et 5 mm. Les trous eux-mêmes ont généralement une longueur comprise entre 1mm et 1cm .
  • Découpe au laser. Une telle découpe peut être réalisée dans la couche prédécoupée avant ou après son assemblage avec l'autre couche.
The precut along a dotted line of the precut layer can be done in one of the following ways:
  • Mechanical cutting, usually with a toothed blade in the form of a wheel. The roller rolls on the moving film and perforates the layer without removing material, according to a dotted line. Such mechanical cutting is generally carried out before assembling the precut layer with the other layer. In general, the unperforated length between two holes is between 0.1mm and 5mm. The holes themselves are generally between 1mm and 1cm in length.
  • Laser cutting. Such a cut can be carried out in the precut layer before or after its assembly with the other layer.

Assemblées, la couche découpée et la couche non prédécoupée présentent un minimum d'adhésion entre elles de façon à constituer un film. Il est cependant préférable que l'adhésion entre ces deux couches ne soit pas trop forte, de sorte qu'il y ait une tendance à la délamination (séparation des deux feuilles) sous l'effet d'une contrainte mécanique, par exemple lors d'une déchirure.Assembled, the cut layer and the non layer pre-cut have a minimum of adhesion between them so as to constitute a film. It is however preferable that the adhesion between these two layers is not too strong, so there is a tendency to delamination (separation of the two sheets) under the effect mechanical stress, for example during a tear.

De façon à favoriser la délamination, on peut ajouter une couche de "matière organique" dans la zone de la prédécoupe. La matière organique peut être un couple colle/vernis, la délamination se produisant à l'interface des couches de colle et de vernis.In order to promote delamination, we can add a layer of "organic matter" in the area of the precut. Organic matter can be a couple glue / varnish, delamination occurring at the interface layers of glue and varnish.

Dans le cas où on fait subir un traitement Corona à la couche de matière plastique qui doit recevoir la couche de colle, on peut diminuer l'adhésion entre les deux couches dans la zone de la prédécoupe en omettant le traitement Corona dans cette zone .In the event that one undergoes a Corona treatment to the plastic layer that is to receive the layer of glue, you can reduce the adhesion between two layers in the pre-cut area omitting the Corona treatment in this area.

Chaque couche, prédécoupée ou non prédécoupée, peut bien entendu être constituée elle-même par un assemblage de plusieurs couches.Each layer, pre-cut or not pre-cut, can of course be itself constituted by a assembly of several layers.

Il n'est pas exclu que la couche pédécoupée comprenne une couche qui ne soit pas en matière plastique, comme une couche en papier.It is not excluded that the diapered layer includes a non-material layer plastic, like a paper diaper.

L'invention est également relative à un emballage, en particulier du type sachet, réalisé avec un film tel que défini précédemment, emballage que l'on souhaite pouvoir ouvrir à la main de façon contrôlée. Dans un tel emballage,réalisé avec un film selon l'invention, la ligne de prédécoupe se situe sous une ligne de soudure qui confère l'étanchéité à l'emballage.The invention also relates to a packaging, in particular of the sachet type, produced with a film as defined above, packaging which is wish to be able to open by hand in a controlled manner. In such packaging, made with a film according to the invention, the precut line is located under a sealing line which impermeability to the packaging.

L'invention consiste, mises à part les dispositions exposées ci-dessus, en un certain nombre d'autres dispositions dont il sera plus explicitement question ci-après à propos d'exemples de réalisation décrits avec référence aux dessins ci-annexés, mais qui ne sont nullement limitatifs.The invention consists, apart from the provisions outlined above, in a number other provisions which will be more explicitly question below about examples of realizations described with reference to the accompanying drawings, but which are in no way limiting.

La figure 1 de ces dessins est une coupe schématique, à grande échelle, d'un film de matière plastique selon l'invention.Figure 1 of these drawings is a section schematic, on a large scale, of a film of matter plastic according to the invention.

Les figures 2 à 5 montrent, semblablement à la figure 1, des variantes de réalisation du film en matière plastique.Figures 2 to 5 show, similarly to the Figure 1, alternative embodiments of the film material plastic.

La figure 6, enfin, est une vue en élévation d'un emballage du type sachet réalisé avec un film selon l'invention.Figure 6, finally, is an elevational view of a sachet type packaging made with a film according to the invention.

En se reportant à la figure 1 des dessins, on peut voir un film F comprenant deux couches I et D de matière plastique. La couche I est prédécoupée suivant au moins une ligne L, perpendiculaire au plan de la figure 1, pour favoriser la déchirure du film, en particulier pour l'ouverture d'un emballage.Referring to Figure 1 of the drawings, we can see a film F comprising two layers I and D of plastic material. Layer I is precut according to minus a line L, perpendicular to the plane of the figure 1, to promote the tearing of the film, in particular for opening a package.

La couche prédécoupée I présente une résistance à la déchirure, hors de la ligne de prédécoupe L, supérieure à celle de la couche D, et le film F présente une résistance à la déchirure, hors de la ligne de prédécoupe L, égale au moins à deux fois sa résistance à la déchirure sur la ligne de prédécoupe L.Pre-cut layer I has resistance to the tear, outside the precut line L, higher than that of layer D, and the film F has resistance to tearing, out of line precuts L, at least twice its resistance to the tear on the precut line L.

La résistance à la déchirure du film F, hors de la prédécoupe L, est d'au moins 0,23 daN (décanewton).The tear resistance of film F, out of the precut L, is at least 0.23 daN (decanewton).

Les essais ont montré que, d'une manière surprenante, la couche prédécoupée I doit être suffisamment résistante pour que la déchirure suive bien la ligne L.Tests have shown that, in a way surprisingly, the precut layer I must be strong enough for the tear to follow well line L.

De préférence, la résistance de la couche I à la déchirure est au moins deux fois plus grande que celle de l'autre couche D.Preferably, the resistance of layer I to the tear is at least twice as large as that of the other layer D.

Avantageusement, la couche I présente, hors de la ligne L, une résistance à la déchirure supérieure à 0,3 daN , tandis que l'autre couche D présente une résistance à la déchirure inférieure à 0,07 daN. Advantageously, the layer I has, outside the line L, a tear resistance greater than 0.3 daN, while the other layer D has a tear resistance less than 0.07 daN.

Plus particulièrement, la couche I présente une résistance à la déchirure comprise entre 0,5daN et 2daN.More particularly, layer I has a tear resistance between 0.5daN and 2daN.

La couche I est en polymère, le terme polymère devant être compris dans un sens général qui recouvre les copolymères, terpolymères, interpolymères, mélanges de polymères.Layer I is made of polymer, the term polymer to be understood in a general sense which covers the copolymers, terpolymers, interpolymers, mixtures of polymers.

Des exemples de matériaux pour la couche I sont donnés ci-après:Examples of materials for layer I are given below:

Polyamide orienté (OPA), polyamide cast (CPA), polypropylène orienté (OPP) incluant le polypropylène biorienté (BOPP), polyéthylène (PE), polypropylène (PP), polychlorure de vinyle (PVC), polystyrène (PS), polyméthacrylate de méthyle (PMMA), polychlorure de divinylidène (PVDC), polyfluorure de divinylidène (PVDF), polyéthylène naphtalate (PEN), polyester ce qui inclut le polyéthylène téréphtalate (PET) et le polybutylène téréphtalate (PBT), terpolymère acrylonitrile-butadiènestyrène (ABS).Oriented polyamide (OPA), polyamide cast (CPA), oriented polypropylene (OPP) including polypropylene bioriented (BOPP), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polystyrene (PS), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polychloride divinylidene (PVDC), polyvinyl divene fluoride (PVDF), polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polyester which includes polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), acrylonitrile-butadienestyrene terpolymer (ABS).

La nature de la couche D peut être choisie dans la même liste de matériaux que pour la couche I. Les traitements appliqués à ces matériaux sont toutefois différents pour les couches I et D, pour obtenir les différences de résistance à la déchirure. La couche D peut être, en outre, en aluminium ou en papier.The nature of layer D can be chosen in the same list of materials as for layer I. treatments applied to these materials are however different for layers I and D, to get the differences in tear resistance. Layer D can also be made of aluminum or paper.

Les couches I et D sont associées par un procédé classique de l'état de la technique, adapté à la nature des couches.Layers I and D are combined by a process state-of-the-art classic adapted to nature layers.

Par exemple, l'association peut être réalisée par complexage, avec utilisation d'une couche de colle C pour associer les couches D et I. C'est le cas notamment lorsque la couche D est en aluminium, alors que la couche I est en une polyoléfine comme le polyéthylène (PE) ou le polypropylène (PP).For example, the association can be made by lamination, using a layer of C adhesive to combine layers D and I. This is particularly the case when layer D is aluminum, while layer I is made of a polyolefin such as polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP).

D'autres procédés connus peuvent être utilisés pour associer les couches I et D, par exemple les procédés tels que : coextrusion, calandrage (= lamination à chaud) ; extrusion couchage, plaxage ; enduction. Other known methods can be used to associate layers I and D, for example the processes such as: coextrusion, calendering (= lamination hot); coating extrusion, plaxing; coating.

Le film F présente généralement une épaisseur e comprise entre 30 et 300 µm.The film F generally has a thickness e between 30 and 300 µm.

La couche I représente au moins 20 % de l'épaisseur totale e du film, et de préférence au moins 50 %, voire 95 % de cette épaisseur totale e. La couche D présente généralement une épaisseur comprise entre 1 et 60 µm.Layer I represents at least 20% of the total thickness e of the film, and preferably at least 50% or even 95% of this total thickness e. Layer D generally has a thickness between 1 and 60 µm.

Malgré la prédécoupe, le film F conserve une parfaite étanchéité puisque la prédécoupe ne le traverse pas complètement.Despite the precut, the film F retains a perfect seal since the precut does not pass through it not completely.

La ligne de prédécoupe L est une ligne en pointillé, perpendiculaire au plan de la figure 1, constituée par une succession de trous t qui ont généralement une longueur (perpendiculairement au plan de la figure 1) comprise entre 1 mm et 1 cm. La longueur non perforée entre deux trous est comprise entre 0,1 et 5 mm.The precut line L is a line in dotted, perpendicular to the plane of Figure 1, constituted by a succession of holes t which have generally a length (perpendicular to the plane of Figure 1) between 1 mm and 1 cm. The length no perforated between two holes is between 0.1 and 5 mm.

La découpe selon la ligne en pointillé L de la couche I peut être réalisée mécaniquement, généralement par une lame à dents sous forme de roulette. La roulette roule sur le film défilant et perfore sans enlèvement de matière la couche I selon un pointillé.The cut along the dotted line L of the layer I can be done mechanically, generally by a toothed blade in the form of a wheel. Roulette rolls on the moving film and perforates without removing material layer I along a dotted line.

Une telle découpe mécanique est généralement réalisée sur la couche I avant son assemblage avec la couche D.Such mechanical cutting is generally performed on layer I before its assembly with the layer D.

La réalisation de la ligne de prédécoupe L peut être assurée par d'autres procédés, par exemple par une prédécoupe avec un faisceau laser pulsé permettant de réaliser une suite de trous de diamètre réduit.The realization of the precut line L can be provided by other methods, for example by a pre-cut with a pulsed laser beam allowing make a series of holes of reduced diameter.

Une telle découpe au laser peut être réalisée dans la couche I avant ou après son assemblage avec la couche D.Such laser cutting can be performed in layer I before or after its assembly with the layer D.

La prédécoupe doit être réalisée de sorte que la résistance à la déchirure des points d'attache (entre deux trous) soit inférieure à la résistance à la déchirure en dehors de la prédécoupe. Ceci est obtenu en rapprochant suffisamment les trous pour que le comportement à la déchirure entre les trous soit différent et influencé par la présence des trous par rapport à une zone exempte de trous. Il en est de même pour la couche prédécoupée elle-même.The precut must be performed so that the tear resistance of the attachment points (between two holes) is less than the resistance to tear outside the precut. This is obtained in bringing the holes close enough so that the tear behavior between holes either different and influenced by the presence of the holes by relative to an area free of holes. It is the same for the pre-cut layer itself.

De préférence, la prédécoupe traverse entièrement la couche prédécoupée. Ceci est plus facilement obtenu si la couche est prédécoupée avant d'être associée, par exemple par collage, aux autres couches pour la réalisation du film. En effet, de la sorte, les moyens de prédécoupe peuvent être plus francs sans risquer de prédécouper d'autres couches qui n'ont pas vocation à l'être.Preferably, the precut crosses entirely the pre-cut layer. This is more easily achieved if the layer is precut before being associated, by example by gluing, to the other layers for the film making. Indeed, in this way, the means of precut can be more straightforward without risking precut other layers that are not intended to being.

Une découpe mécanique est préférée par rapport à une découpe laser. En effet, l'impact laser crée un cratère en surface du film. Ce cratère est un obstacle à la propagation de la déchirure de la ligne de prédécoupe et peut avoir tendance à faire diverger la propagation de la déchirure de la ligne de prédécoupe. En outre, une découpe laser nécessite la présence d'une couche d'aluminium qui réfléchit la lumière laser. Une prédécoupe mécanique sur une des couches, en particulier avant assemblage, permet de s'affranchir de la nécessité d'une couche d'aluminium dans le film.Mechanical cutting is preferred over laser cutting. Indeed, the laser impact creates a crater on the surface of the film. This crater is an obstacle to the spread of the tear in the precut line and may tend to diverge the spread of the tear in the precut line. In addition, a laser cutting requires the presence of a layer of aluminum which reflects the laser light. A mechanical precut on one of the layers, in particular before assembly, eliminates the need a layer of aluminum in the film.

Les couches I et D assemblées présentent un minimum d'adhésion entre elles de façon à constituer le film F. Il est avantageux que l'adhésion entre les deux couches I et D ne soit pas trop forte, de sorte que le film F présente une tendance à la délamination (séparation des couches I et D ) lorsqu'il est soumis à des efforts de déchirure ou de cisaillement.Layers I and D assembled have a minimum adhesion between them so as to constitute the film F. It is advantageous that the adhesion between the two layers I and D is not too strong, so the film F has a tendency to delamination (separation of layers I and D) when subjected to tearing or shearing forces.

En particulier, il est souhaitable que cette tendance des deux couches I et D à se séparer se produise dans la zone de la ligne de prédécoupe L.In particular, it is desirable that this tendency of the two layers I and D to separate occurs in the area of the precut line L.

Avantageusement, la résistance à la délamination est inférieure à 0,2 daN / 15 mm. La résistance à la délamination est mesurée par un test de pelage en T ( T-peel-test) à 180°d'angle avec une vitesse de 300 mm par minute, sur une bande 15 mm de largeur . Advantageously, the resistance to delamination is less than 0.2 daN / 15 mm. Resistance to delamination is measured by a T-peel test at 180 ° angle with a speed of 300 mm per minute, on a strip 15 mm wide.

Pour favoriser la délamination, on peut ajouter une couche de "matière organique" dans la zone de la ligne de prédécoupe L par exemple entre la couche I et la couche de colle C. La figure 2 est un exemple d'une telle structure. Une couche de vernis V est appliquée contre la face de la couche I située du côté de la couche de colle C et dans la zone de la ligne L de prédécoupe. Le vernis V constitue la "matière organique" favorisant la délamination du film à l'interface du vernis V et de la colle C. Le vernis V peut comprendre une résine entrant dans la composition des encres couramment utilisées en héliogravure ou flexogravure.To promote delamination, we can add a layer of "organic matter" in the area of the precut line L for example between layer I and the glue layer C. Figure 2 is an example of such structure. A layer of V varnish is applied against the side of layer I located on the side of the adhesive layer C and in the area of the precut line L. The nailpolish V constitutes the "organic matter" favoring the delamination of the film at the interface of V varnish and glue C. V varnish may include an incoming resin in the composition of inks commonly used in rotogravure or flexogravure.

Plus précisément, dans l'exemple de la figure 2, la couche I est formée par l'assemblage d'une couche 1 de polyéthylène PE et de la couche V de vernis qui adhère à la face interne de la couche 1, dans la zone de la ligne de prédécoupe L. La couche D est formée par l'assemblage d'une couche 2 de polypropylène orienté (OPP) et de la couche de colle C.More specifically, in the example in Figure 2, layer I is formed by the assembly of a layer 1 of polyethylene PE and layer V of varnish which adheres to the inner face of layer 1, in the area of the line precut L. Layer D is formed by joining a layer 2 of oriented polypropylene (OPP) and glue layer C.

La figure 3 illustre une variante de réalisation d'un film F de la figure 2. La couche de vernis V, selon la figure 3, est située à l'interface de la couche de colle C et de la couche 2 d'OPP dans la zone de la ligne de prédécoupe L. L'adhésion se trouve diminuée à l'interface de la couche de colle C et de la couche de vernis V.Figure 3 illustrates an alternative embodiment of a film F of FIG. 2. The layer of varnish V, according to Figure 3, is located at the interface of the layer of glue C and OPP layer 2 in the line area precut L. The adhesion is reduced to the interface of the adhesive layer C and the varnish V.

La couche I, dans le cas de la figure 3, est formée par l'assemblage de la couche 1 de polyéthylène et de la couche de colle C, tandis que la couche D comprend l'assemblage de la couche 2 et de la couche V de vernis.Layer I, in the case of Figure 3, is formed by the assembly of layer 1 of polyethylene and glue layer C, while layer D includes the assembly of layer 2 and layer V of varnish.

D'autres moyens peuvent être prévus pour assurer une diminution de l'adhésion entre les deux couches I et D dans la zone de la prédécoupe L. Par exemple, il est fréquent de faire subir à la feuille de matière plastique qui doit recevoir la couche de colle C un traitement Corona favorisant l'adhésion entre les couches. Pour diminuer l'adhésion entre les deux couches I et D dans la zone de prédécoupe L, il suffit de ne pas effectuer de traitement Corona dans cette zone sur la feuille de matière plastique recevant la couche de colle.Other means may be provided to ensure a decrease in the adhesion between the two layers I and D in the precut area L. For example, it is common to subject the plastic sheet which must receive the layer of glue C a treatment Corona promoting adhesion between layers. For decrease the adhesion between the two layers I and D in the precut area L, just do not perform Corona treatment in this area on the sheet of plastic material receiving the adhesive layer.

La figure 4 illustre un premier exemple d'une telle structure. La ligne de prédécoupe L est réalisée dans la couche 1 de PE, laquelle est associée par une couche de colle C à une couche 2 de OPP. La face de la couche 1 de PE au contact de la couche de colle C a subi un traitement Corona à l'exception de la zone 3a marquée par des tirets au droit de la ligne L. Cette zone 3a non traitée Corona favorise la délamination à cet endroit entre la couche 1, constituant la couche I, et l'ensemble de la couche 2 et de la colle C constituant la couche D.Figure 4 illustrates a first example of a such structure. The precut line L is made in layer 1 of PE, which is associated by a layer of glue C to layer 2 of OPP. The face of the layer 1 of PE in contact with the adhesive layer C has undergone Corona treatment with the exception of marked area 3a by dashes to the right of line L. This zone 3a does not Corona treated promotes delamination at this location between layer 1, constituting layer I, and the whole layer 2 and glue C constituting layer D.

La figure 5 montre une variante de la structure de la figure 4, selon laquelle la face de la couche 2 d' OPP destinée à venir en contact avec la couche de colle C a subi le traitement Corona à l'exception de la zone 3b, marquée par des tirets, au droit de la ligne L. Cette zone 3b non traitée Corona favorise la délamination entre la couche 2 et la couche de colle C. L'ensemble de la couche 1 de PE et de la couche de colle C constitue la couche I alors que la couche D est constituée par la seule couche 2.Figure 5 shows a variant of the structure of FIG. 4, according to which the face of layer 2 of OPP intended to come into contact with the adhesive layer C underwent Corona treatment with the exception of zone 3b, marked with dashes, to the right of line L. This Corona untreated zone 3b promotes delamination between layer 2 and layer of glue C. The whole of the layer 1 of PE and the layer of adhesive C constitutes the layer I while layer D consists of the single layer 2.

Des exemples de film selon l'invention sont donnés ci-après sous forme d'une énumération des différentes couches du film.Examples of film according to the invention are given below in the form of a list of different layers of the film.

Premier exempleFirst example - PET/colle/PEBD- PET / glue / LDPE

L'association PET/colle est considérée comme formant la couche non prédécoupée. L'épaisseur de la couche de PET est égale à 12 µm. L'épaisseur de la couche de colle est égale à 1,8 µm. La colle est du type polyuréthane.The PET / glue association is considered to be forming the uncut layer. The thickness of the PET layer is 12 µm. The thickness of the layer of glue is equal to 1.8 µm. The glue is of the type polyurethane.

La couche PET/colle présente une résistance à la déchirure (en abrégé : RD) inférieure à 0,05 daN.The PET / glue layer has resistance to tear (abbreviated: RD) less than 0.05 daN.

L'épaisseur de la couche de PEBD est égale à 80 µm. La couche de PEBD a une RD (résistance à la déchirure) de 0,8 daN.The thickness of the LDPE layer is equal to 80 µm. The LDPE layer has an RD (resistance to tear) of 0.8 daN.

Le film a une RD de 0,07 daN sur la prédécoupe et de 0,8 daN hors prédécoupe.The film has an RD of 0.07 daN on the precut and 0.8 daN without precut.

La couche de PET peut être imprimée à l'intérieur ou à l'extérieur, ou ne pas être imprimée du tout.PET layer can be printed inside or outside, or not be printed at all.

La prédécoupe L est réalisée dans la couche de PEBD par découpe mécanique avant contrecollage sur le PET, avec une longueur de chaque trou égale à 3 mm et une distance entre trous égale à 2 mm.The precut L is made in the layer of LDPE by mechanical cutting before laminating on the PET, with a length of each hole equal to 3 mm and a distance between holes equal to 2 mm.

Des valeurs précises d'épaisseurs de couches ont été données ci-dessus en correspondance avec les valeurs précises de déchirure, puisque l'épaisseur a une influence sur la résistance à la déchirure. Il est clair que ces valeurs précises ne sont pas limitatives, cette remarque étant valable pour tous les exemples donnés.Precise values of layer thicknesses have been given above in correspondence with the values precise tear, since the thickness has a influence on tear resistance. It's clear that these precise values are not limiting, this note being valid for all the examples given.

Ainsi, l'épaisseur de la couche de PET peut être comprise entre 5 et 30 µm. L'épaisseur de la couche de colle peut être comprise entre 1 et 4 µm. L'épaisseur de la couche de PEBD peut être comprise entre 40 et 200 µm.So the thickness of the PET layer can be between 5 and 30 µm. The thickness of the layer of glue can be between 1 and 4 µm. The thickness of the LDPE layer can be between 40 and 200 µm.

Deuxième exempleSecond example - PET/colle/aluminium/colle/PEBD- PET / glue / aluminum / glue / LDPE

La couche de PET a une épaisseur égale à 12 µm. L'épaisseur de la couche de colle, entre PET et aluminium, est égale à 2 µm. L'épaisseur de la couche d'aluminium est égale à 9 µm. L'épaisseur de la couche de colle entre aluminium et PEBD est égale à 2 µm .The PET layer has a thickness of 12 µm. The thickness of the adhesive layer, between PET and aluminum, is equal to 2 µm. The thickness of the layer of aluminum is equal to 9 µm. The thickness of the layer of glue between aluminum and LDPE is equal to 2 µm.

L'association PET/colle/aluminium/colle est la couche non prédécoupée qui présente une RD inférieure à 0,05 daN.The association PET / glue / aluminum / glue is the uncut layer that has an RD less than 0.05 daN.

L'épaisseur de la couche de PEBD est égale à 140 µm. La couche de PEBD a une RD de 0,8 daN.The thickness of the LDPE layer is equal to 140 µm. The LDPE layer has an RD of 0.8 daN.

Le film complexe a une RD de 0,22 daN sur la prédécoupe et de 1,5 daN hors prédécoupe.The complex film has an RD of 0.22 daN on the precut and 1.5 daN excluding precut.

Comme dans l'exemple précédent, la prédécoupe L est réalisée dans la couche de PEBD avant assemblage, car il convient de ne pas risquer d'endommager la couche d'aluminium qui joue un rôle de barrière à l'égard des gaz et de l'humidité. La longueur de chaque trou est égale à 3 mm et la distance entre trous égale à 2 mm.As in the previous example, the precut L is made in the LDPE layer before assembly, because do not risk damaging the diaper aluminum which acts as a barrier against gas and moisture. The length of each hole is equal to 3 mm and the distance between holes equal to 2 mm.

Plus généralement, la couche de PET peut avoir une épaisseur comprise entre 5 et 30 µm. L'épaisseur de la couche de colle, entre PET et aluminium, est comprise entre 1 et 4 µm. L'épaisseur de la couche d'aluminium est comprise entre 6 et 45 µm. L'épaisseur de la couche de colle entre aluminium et PEBD est comprise dans les mêmes limites que celles de la première couche de colle. L'épaisseur de la couche de PEBD est comprise entre 40 et 200 µm.More generally, the PET layer may have a thickness between 5 and 30 µm. The thickness of the adhesive layer, between PET and aluminum, is included between 1 and 4 µm. The thickness of the aluminum layer is between 6 and 45 µm. The thickness of the layer of glue between aluminum and LDPE is included in the same limits than those of the first layer of glue. The thickness of the LDPE layer is between 40 and 200 µm.

Troisième exempleThird example - PET/colle/PP- PET / glue / PP

Cet exemple diffère du précédent par le remplacement de la couche de PEBD par une couche de PP (polypropylène) qui permet la réalisation d'un emballage stérilisable.This example differs from the previous one by the replacing the LDPE layer with a PP layer (polypropylene) which allows the realization of a packaging sterilizable.

La couche de PET a une épaisseur égale à 12 µm. L'épaisseur de la couche de colle est égale à 1,8 µm. L'association PET/colle a une RD inférieure à 0,05 daN.The PET layer has a thickness of 12 µm. The thickness of the adhesive layer is 1.8 µm. The PET / glue association has an RD of less than 0.05 daN.

La couche de PP a une épaisseur égale à 100 µm et une RD égale à 0,9 daN.The PP layer has a thickness equal to 100 µm and an RD equal to 0.9 daN.

Le film a une RD de 0,1 daN sur la prédécoupe et une RD de 0,45 daN hors prédécoupe. La longueur de chaque trou de la prédécoupe est égale à 4 mm et la distance entre trous égale à 1 mm.The film has an RD of 0.1 daN on the precut and an RD of 0.45 daN excluding precut. The length of each pre-cut hole is 4 mm and the distance between holes equal to 1 mm.

Plus généralement, les épaisseurs des différentes couches sont comprises dans les mêmes limites que celles données pour le deuxième exemple, les limites données pour la couche de PEBD s'appliquant à celles de PP.More generally, the thicknesses of the different layers are within the same limits as those data for the second example, the limits given for the LDPE layer applying to those of PP.

Quatrième exempleFourth example PET/colle/aluminium/colle/BOPA/colle/PPPET / adhesive / aluminum / adhesive / BOPA / glue / PP

La couche de PET a une épaisseur égale à 12 µm. Les couches de colle ont une épaisseur égale à 2 µm. La couche d'aluminium a une épaisseur égale à 9 µm. La couche de BOPA (polyamide biorienté) présente une épaisseur égale à 15 µm. La couche de PP a une épaisseur égale à 60 µm.The PET layer has a thickness of 12 µm. The adhesive layers are 2 µm thick. The aluminum layer has a thickness equal to 9 µm. The BOPA (biaxially oriented polyamide) layer has a thickness equal to 15 µm. The PP layer has a thickness equal to 60 µm.

Plus généralement, la couche de PET a une épaisseur comprise entre 5 et 30 µm. Les couches de colle ont une épaisseur comprise entre 1 et 4 µm. La couche d'aluminium a une épaisseur comprise entre 6 et 45 µm.La couche de BOPA (polyamide biorienté) a une épaisseur comprise entre 10 et 40 µm . La couche de PP a une épaisseur comprise entre 40 et 200 µm.More generally, the PET layer has a thickness between 5 and 30 µm. Glue layers have a thickness between 1 and 4 µm. Layer aluminum has a thickness between 6 and 45 µm. layer of BOPA (bi-oriented polyamide) has a thickness between 10 and 40 µm. The PP layer has a thickness between 40 and 200 µm.

La couche de BOPA, ou éventuellement la couche d'OPA (polyamide orienté) présente l'avantage de protéger la couche d'aluminium qui tend à se perforer lorsque le film est plié, et améliore la résistance de l'emballage aux chocs.The BOPA layer, or possibly the layer OPA (oriented polyamide) has the advantage of protecting the aluminum layer which tends to puncture when the film is folded, and improves the strength of the packaging to shocks.

La prédécoupe L est réalisée dans l'ensemble PP + colle + BOPA (ou OPA). La longueur de chaque trou est égale à 3 mm et la distance entre trous égale à 2 mm. Le film peut être réalisé selon le processus suivant :

  • a) réalisation d'un film PP/colle/BOPA (ou OPA) ;
  • b) réalisation de la ligne de prédécoupe L dans le film réalisé en a) ;
  • c) contrecollage d'une couche de PET sur une couche d'aluminium, pour obtenir l'ensemble PET/colle/aluminium ;
  • d) contrecollage du film obtenu en c) sur celui obtenu en b).
  • The precut L is made in the PP + glue + BOPA (or OPA) assembly. The length of each hole is 3 mm and the distance between holes is 2 mm. The film can be produced according to the following process:
  • a) production of a PP / glue / BOPA (or OPA) film;
  • b) production of the precut line L in the film produced in a);
  • c) laminating a layer of PET onto a layer of aluminum, to obtain the PET / glue / aluminum assembly;
  • d) laminating the film obtained in c) to that obtained in b).
  • Dans tous les exemples, la colle peut être un adhésif en solvant du type polyuréthane, ou sans solvant de type polyuréthane, ou sur une base acrylique.In all the examples, the glue can be a solvent-based adhesive of polyurethane type, or solvent-free polyurethane type, or on an acrylic base.

    Bien entendu, les couches D et I, comme cela résulte des explications précédentes, peuvent être formées chacune d'un assemblage de plusieurs couches. Of course, layers D and I, like this results from the previous explanations, can be each formed from an assembly of several layers.

    Le film F peut servir à la réalisation de tout type d'emballage que l'on souhaite pouvoir ouvrir à la main de façon contrôlée.The film F can be used to make any type of packaging you want to be able to open hand in a controlled manner.

    La figure 6 illustre un tel emballage constitué par un sachet 4 réalisé avec le film F , ce sachet contenant un liquide, par exemple un liquide alimentaire tel qu'une sauce.Figure 6 illustrates such packaging made up by a bag 4 made with film F, this bag containing a liquid, for example a food liquid such as a sauce.

    Le sachet 4 comporte un fond 5 en soufflet dont la section transversale dans la partie médiane a sensiblement une forme en W lorsque le sachet est vide et aplati, le fond étant propre à s'ouvrir lors du remplissage pour constituer une assise permettant au sachet de tenir debout.The bag 4 has a bellows bottom 5 of which the cross section in the middle part a substantially a W shape when the bag is empty and flattened, the bottom being able to open during filling to constitute a seat allowing the stand up bag.

    Le sachet comporte deux parois latérales, par exemple de forme rectangulaire, qui sont soudées l'une à l'autre suivant leurs bords longitudinaux.The bag has two side walls, by example of rectangular shape, which are welded one to the other along their longitudinal edges.

    La ligne de prédécoupe L est prévue dans le film du côté opposé au fond 5 . De préférence, une ligne de prédécoupe L est prévue dans chaque face du sachet 4. La ligne de prédécoupe L est située sous une ligne de soudure 6 qui ferme le sachet de manière étanche.The precut line L is provided in the film on the side opposite the bottom 5. Preferably, a line of precut L is provided on each side of the bag 4. The precut line L is located under a line of solder 6 which closes the bag tightly.

    Les parois du sachet sont bien entendu étanches à l'endroit de la ligne de prédécoupe L en raison de la continuité de la couche D à cet endroit.The walls of the bag are of course tight the location of the precut line L due to the continuity of layer D at this location.

    L'ouverture du sachet 4 s'effectue en déchirant le film au niveau de la ligne L . La déchirure, avec le film F de l'invention, se propage exactement suivant la ligne L sans dévier vers le fond 5 du sachet ce qui serait particulièrement fâcheux car le liquide du sachet pourrait se répandre de manière incontrôlée.The bag 4 is opened by tearing the film at line L. The tear, with the film F of the invention, propagates exactly according to the line L without deviating towards the bottom 5 of the bag which would be particularly unfortunate because the liquid in the sachet could spread uncontrollably.

    Quelle que soit l'application du film selon l'invention, la déchirure s'effectue bien suivant la ligne L grâce à la combinaison de la couche D et de la couche I, plus difficile à déchirer, dans laquelle est prévue la prédécoupe.Whatever the application of the film according to the invention, the tear is carried out well according to the line L thanks to the combination of layer D and layer I, more difficult to tear, in which is planned the precut.

    Pour obtenir les valeurs de résistance à la déchirure souhaitées, l'homme du métier peut jouer sur :

    • la nature du matériau;
    • l'épaisseur des couches;
    • la prédécoupe, par la largeur des trous et des espaces entre les trous.
    To obtain the desired tear resistance values, a person skilled in the art can play on:
    • the nature of the material;
    • the thickness of the layers;
    • the precut, by the width of the holes and the spaces between the holes.

    Ainsi, afin d'atteindre la différence suffisante de résistance à la déchirure pour le film hors prédécoupe et sur la prédécoupe, l'homme du métier peut, pour des matériaux donnés, à la fois d'une part augmenter l'épaisseur de la couche prédécoupée, et d'autre part, augmenter la longueur effectivement découpée sur la ligne de prédécoupe en agrandissant la longueur des trous et en diminuant la distance entre les trous.So in order to achieve the sufficient difference tear resistance for the film without precut and on the precut, the skilled person can, for given materials, both on the one hand increase the thickness of the precut layer, and on the other hand, increase the length actually cut on the line by cutting out the length of the holes and decreasing the distance between the holes.
