Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine aus überwiegend biologisch abbaubaren Polymeren aufgebaute, ein- oder mehrschichtige Kunststofffolie mit einer The present invention relates to a predominantly biodegradable polymers constructed, single or multilayer plastic film with a
Weiterreißfestigkeit von vorzugsweise wenigstens 30N (DIN 53363 Trapez), bestehend aus wenigstens einer, vorzugsweise innenliegenden Schicht (a) aus einer Mischung aus wenigstens einem biologisch abbaubaren Polymeren und bis zu maximal 35 Gew.%, bezogen auf das Gesamtgewicht der Schicht (a), wenigstens eines modifizierten, thermoplastischen Copolymeren aus α,β-ungesättigten Olefinen mit 2-10 C-Atomen und (Meth)acrylsäure und/oder wenigstens einem Tear strength of preferably at least 30N (DIN 53363 trapeze), consisting of at least one preferably inner layer (a) of a mixture of at least one biodegradable polymer and up to a maximum of 35% by weight, based on the total weight of layer (a), at least one modified, thermoplastic copolymer of α, β-unsaturated olefins having 2-10 C atoms and (meth) acrylic acid and / or at least one
(Meth)acrylsäurederivat, das jeweils gepfropft ist, vorzugsweise mit cyclischen Anhydrid-Gruppen und/oder Carboxylgruppen und/oder Estergruppen, aus ggf. (Meth) acrylic acid derivative which is in each case grafted, preferably with cyclic anhydride groups and / or carboxyl groups and / or ester groups, from optionally
wenigstens einem Weichmacher, und ggf. einem oder mehreren üblichen Additiven und eine Verwendung einer solchen Kunststofffolie als Verpackungsmaterial. at least one plasticizer, and optionally one or more conventional additives and a use of such a plastic film as packaging material.
Kunststofffolien auf Basis biologisch abbaubarer Rohstoffe werden vermehrt als Verpackungsmaterial eingesetzt, insbesondere wenn dieses Material nicht nur biologisch abbaubar ist, sondern auch aus nachwachsenden Rohstoffen gewonnen werden kann. Plastic films based on biodegradable raw materials are increasingly used as packaging material, especially if this material is not only biodegradable, but can also be obtained from renewable raw materials.
Nachteilig bei diesen aus dem Stand der Technik bekannten Kunststofffolien sind oftmals ungeeignete mechanische Eigenschaften, wie beispielsweise eine zu geringe Zähigkeit und eine nicht ausreichende Weiterreißfestigkeit. Disadvantageous in these known from the prior art plastic films are often unsuitable mechanical properties, such as too low toughness and insufficient tear propagation resistance.
Ferner sind biologisch abbaubare Polymere oftmals mit Polymeren, insbesondere solchen, die aus fossilen Rohstoffen wie Erdöl gewonnen werden, nicht kompatibel, so dass eine Verbesserung der mechanischen Eigenschaften von biologisch abbaubaren Polymeren bzw. daraus hergestellten Produkten durch Abmischung mit thermoplastischen Polymeren aus fossilen Rohstoffen nicht zu den gewünschten verbesserten mechanischen Eigenschaften führt. Furthermore, biodegradable polymers are often incompatible with polymers, especially those derived from fossil fuels such as petroleum, so that improving the mechanical properties of biodegradable polymers or products made therefrom by blending with thermoplastic polymers from fossil fuels is not leads to the desired improved mechanical properties.
BESTÄTIGUNGSKOPIE Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung war es daher, Kunststofffolien aus biologisch abbaubaren Polymeren zur Verfügung zu stellen, die u.a. in ihrer Zähigkeit und Weiterreißfestigkeit deutlich verbessert sind. CONFIRMATION COPY It is an object of the present invention to provide plastic films made of biodegradable polymers which are significantly improved, inter alia, in their toughness and tear resistance.
