Description

A vacuum sealable plastic bag

Technical area

The present invention relates to the preparation and manufacture of food packaging bags, in particular a vacuum sealable plastic bag.

To the background

The pollution of the environment and the long-term damage to the earth by plastic products pose great challenges for mankind. Industrialized countries from Europe and the USA have therefore successively passed regulations to reduce plastic consumption and to ban plastics. Every year v. a. In the food sector there is a great need for packaging materials and most of them represent a serious threat to the ecological environment - not to mention the high consumption of energy and resources. The majority of plastic products even harbor a potential hazard if they are used in food packaging and people then ingest the food. There are security concerns about this. In addition, the mechanical strength, mass production suitability, moisture resistance, steam resistance and water insolubility of the plastic packaging for food products have an influence on the use of the food packaging in the market. This also applies to the stability, safety and quality of food packaging made from novel materials during food storage.

For example, patent application CN 01129006.4 discloses a small package for marinated meat products.

Another example is the patent application CN 99125782.0, which has disclosed a composite material for food packaging. It contains a core layer and an outer layer, the core layer being coated with an outer layer containing aluminum foil. Another example is the patent application CN 201310420320.8, which discloses a functional multi-layer cling film made of composite material. Corresponding to the five-layer structure of PE / EVOH / PA / EVOH / PE, suitable additives are added to each layer and functional multi-layer cling films made of composite material are produced from them through coextrusion blow molding.

Summary of the invention

An object to be achieved by the present invention is to provide an improved vacuum sealable plastic bag.

The following technical concepts of the present invention serve to solve the problem.

A naturally degradable vacuum sealable plastic bag is designed as follows: The vacuum sealable plastic bag contains a bag body. The bag body is composed of layers which are compounded from several film layers, and a receiving cavity is formed in the middle of said bag body, preferably between two of these layers. The receiving cavity can be used to store food. In addition, one or more of the film layers have a degradation-promoting material, with polyethylene also being contained in the film material for the preparation and production of said multiple layers. The amount of the degradation-promoting material added is about 5% by weight of the polyethylene.

Most conventional vacuum plastic bags are not degradable. Some degradable plastic bags are not degradable effectively. The decomposition of the admixed degradable components can also lead to secondary environmental pollution. In addition, they are strongly influenced by the environment and are unstable. The degradation can even only take place under certain environmental conditions.

The proposed naturally degradable vacuum sealable plastic bag can effectively reduce environmental pollution and increase the safety and stability of food storage.

Preferred embodiments are explained below, which can be advantageously combined with one another without any indication to the contrary. The amount of the degradation-promoting material added is preferably about 1 to 10% by weight of the polyethylene, particularly preferably 3 to 7% by weight of the polyethylene.

Preferably, the polyethylene contained in an outer film layer material of the bag body is a mixture of HDPE (High Density Polyethylene), LLDPE (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene) and metallocene Linear Low-Density Polyethylene (mLLDPE) in a weight ratio of 1- 3: 1-10: 1-7, and is prepared and manufactured through a coextrusion, casting, blowing and molding process.

Preferably, the polyethylene contained in an inner film layer material of the bag body is a mixture of LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene) and LLDPE (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene) in a weight ratio of 1-7: 1-15, and is made by prepared and manufactured the coextrusion, casting, blow molding and molding process.

The film layers of the plurality of layers are preferably two film layers or more than two film layers. If the film layers of the multiple layers are more than two film layers, then the polyethylene contained in a middle film layer material is a mixture of LDPE (Low Density Polyethylene), LLDPE (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene) and metallocene Low Linear Density Polyethylene (mLLDPE) in a weight ratio from 1-3: 1-8: 1-5 and is prepared and manufactured by the coextrusion, casting, blowing and molding process.

Preferably, the degradation-promoting material is an oxidative biodegradable additive with polyethylene as a carrier. The additive can be a metal stearate, in particular a manganese stearate. The additive can also contain a stabilizer. The additive from Symphony Plastic Technologies known under the brand “D2W” can advantageously be used as an oxidatively degrading additive.

Preferably, the outer film layer of the bag body prepared and manufactured by the mixed coextrusion blow molding is subjected to an orientation and expansion treatment.

Preferably, the inner film layer of the bag body prepared and manufactured by the mixed coextrusion blow molding is not subjected to any orientation and stretching treatment.

Preferably, after the inner film layer has been formed, strip-like or point-like air channels are embossed on its surface. Preferably, the coextrusion, casting, blowing and molding process includes the following:

Adding the raw material to the extruder,

Increase the temperature to 180-350 ° C to form a melt mixture, then rapidly reduce the temperature to 65-85 ° C at a cooling rate of 15 ° C / s and

Transfer of the cooled melt mixture for casting onto the casting bed, which has already been preheated to 45-05 ° C.

The films are blown and cooled using a film blowing machine with a nozzle slot of less than 1.0 mm and a speed of 10 to 20 rpm.

The film layers are created after molding.

Preferably, compounding the film layers of the multiple layers onto the sequential lamination of the prepared and fabricated inner film layer and outer film layer, or the inner film layer, middle film layer, and outer film layer. The vacuum sealable plastic bag, including the bag body, is produced by hot pressing with a roller and molding.

Using the 0. g. technical solutions, the present invention has the following advantages compared to the current state of the art:

1. In the case of the vacuum sealable plastic bag of the present invention, different film layers are formed according to a certain combination and ratio of HDPE (high density polyethylene), LDPE (low density polyethylene), LLDPE (linear low density polyethylene) and metallocene linear low density polyethylene (mLLDPE) . So the outer film layer has a significant tensile strength, tear strength, environmental stress crack resistance,

Cold resistance, weather resistance and puncture resistance, and the inner and middle film layers have significant compatibility and stability. The entire performance of the sealable plastic bag can safely meet the requirements of food packaging and thus guarantees the storage quality of the food. 2. In the present invention, the oxidative biodegradable additive D2W is added with a polyethylene carrier resin. It promotes the oxidative degradation of the vacuum sealable plastic bag in the natural environment without causing secondary pollution, which is in line with the sustainable production ideology.

3. The vacuum sealable plastic bag of the present invention has not only good degradability but also other such advantages as high security and stability. No additional superfluous raw material is added during the preparation and manufacturing process. The compounding of different polyethylene materials alone can reduce the addition of components that are difficult to break down, or components that could affect human health, during the preparation and manufacturing process of the plastic bag. In addition, the simple components make the preparation and manufacturing process of the plastic bag of the present invention simple. The process steps are easy to control, costs are reduced, and mass production is possible.

Comparative example 3:

Comparative example 3 is a commercially available vacuum sealable plastic bag. It is a product that the expert in this field acquires on the market on the basis of the product description. Based on the product description, the plastic product is manufactured from a starting material from the polyethylene series. In the present invention, it is used as a comparison.

The performance tests were carried out on the naturally degradable vacuum sealable plastic bags produced in Examples 1 to 3. In the comparative examples, there are the vacuum sealable plastic bags produced in 1 to 2 and the conventional, commercially available, sealable plastic bag in comparative example 3. The results are shown in Table 1:

Table 1 From the performance analysis of the results in Table 1, it can be seen that the vacuum sealable plastic bag of the present invention has significant natural degradability - apart from its useful life. It also has significant weather resistance, resistance to cold and significant stability. In addition, the vacuum sealable plastic bag of the present invention has other good performances as explained in other descriptions. In the case of chemical products, however, there are too many relevant performance parameters so that only a few of them have been selected for explanation. All others are no longer described in detail.

Accelerated aging and thermal stability test

In the laboratory, the real-time stability of the polymer products stored at room temperature can be determined in a relatively short time by monitoring the degradation during the thermal aging process at high temperatures in accordance with ASTM D5510. In addition, they can be prevented from being exposed to sunlight for a long time.

The polymer degradation is evaluated by determining the polymer oxidation by means of infrared spectroscopy. An increase in the characteristic amount of the infrared spectrum corresponding to the carbonyl product from polymer oxidation is recorded as the carbonyl optical density. If no significant increase in carbonyl optical density (no more than 0.0010) is observed during the accelerated aging time, it is considered to be an indication of the real-time stability of the product under storage conditions.

The naturally degradable and vacuum sealable plastic bag produced in exemplary embodiment 3 was selected as a test sample. The stability and degradation behavior of the naturally degradable, vacuum sealable plastic bag were evaluated through accelerated laboratory aging. The results are shown in Table 2:

Table 2

It can be seen from Table 2 that no apparent oxidation was indicated during the accelerated stability test. The sample shows that the average value of the carbonyl optical density did not exceed o, oooi with accelerated aging of up to 575 hours. Likewise, no degradation behavior of the vacuum sealable plastic bag of the present invention occurred under the test conditions. This is evidence that the vacuum sealable plastic bag of the present invention has a relatively high stability within its useful life.

Accelerated aging test for thermal degradation after initial UV exposure

In the laboratory, the degradation of polymers which are then exposed to sunlight under initially dark conditions can be determined in a relatively short time by monitoring the degradation during accelerated fluorescent UV aging.

This is done according to ASTM D5208, then thermal aging at high temperature according to ASTM D5510.

The polymer degradation is evaluated by determining the polymer oxidation by means of infrared spectroscopy. An increase in the characteristic amount of the infrared spectrum corresponding to the carbonyl product from polymer oxidation is recorded as the carbonyl optical density. The optical carbonyl density of 0.0100 is regarded as pre-degradation, which leads to spontaneous embrittlement.

The naturally degradable and vacuum sealable plastic bag produced in exemplary embodiment 3 was selected as the test sample. First, the sample was exposed to constant fluorescent UV aging for 48 hours, and then to accelerated thermal aging under dark conditions. By monitoring the changes in the optical carbonyl density with the aging time, the rate of degradation was determined and compared. The results are shown in Table 3:

Table 3

The analysis of Table 3 in combination with Figure 2 shows that the test sample showed a significant increase in the optical carbonyl density during the accelerated aging process. The sample demonstrated a carbonyl optical density of 0.0165 after an exposure of 288 hours (including an initial fluorescent UV exposure of 48 hours). This indicates that the sample is already significantly degraded and shows that the vacuum sealable plastic bag of the present invention can degrade under natural conditions when it has exceeded its useful life.

In summary: The naturally degradable and vacuum sealable plastic bag of the present invention has the advantages of high security performance, high stability and good weather resistance within its service life. In addition, there is no secondary pollution during degradation, making it environmentally friendly. In addition, the manufacturing method is simple and suitable for mass production.
