Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a parchment paper that can be used as an oxygen barrier layer in packaging materials for oxygen sensitive items. Further aspects of the present invention include a method for producing the oxygen barrier parchment paper and a packaging material comprising the oxygen barrier parchment paper.
  • Biodegradable packing materials cause a large amount of waste, which many countries presently try to reduce by exchanging fuel based plastic packaging materials with fully biodegradable, compostable and bio-sourced packaging materials.
  • Such biodegradable packing materials must fulfil various conditions depending on the end use. For example, when being used as food packaging, they must be safe for food contact, when being used as packaging for life science and diagnostic devices, they must meet stringent safety requirements. In particular, when used as packaging material for oxygen-sensitive products, sufficient gas barrier properties of the packaging material are required.
  • Genuine vegetable parchment (GVP) made of 100% cellulose is known as biodegradable packaging material having moisture vapor barrier properties and intrinsic grease barrier properties.
  • the parchment paper is either produced so as to have a very high level of parchmentization or an additional oxygen barrier layer is laminated thereon.
  • EP 3 819 426 A1 describes parchment paper having a very high level of parchmentization.
  • WO 2018/197676 A1 describes a multilayer article that comprises a vegetable parchment support and an oxygen barrier layer containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH).
  • PVOH polyvinyl alcohol
  • vapor phase deposition can also be used to cover the GVP.
  • metallization or other vapor phase processes allow to impart excellent barrier properties with very little raw material, these processes are quite expensive and are usually done with specific vacuum conditions, which require external converting steps.
  • a paper substrate if used, it requires an additional coating step to improve the surface roughness before metallization. Indeed, without such additional coating the paper substrate can swell with moisture and the metal coating can crack and lose barrier properties. In addition to having a strong impact on packaging costs, the life cycle of these processes is still subject to discussions.
  • an object of the present invention to provide an improved biodegradable packaging material having very good oxygen barrier properties and excellent mechanical properties with respect to for example tear strength, wet burst strength and dry burst strength.
  • a further object of the present invention is the provision of a biodegradable packaging material that is easy to manufacture in an energy and waste-efficient way and at low costs.
  • this invention Compared to the prior art paper as taught in WO 2021/089778 A1 , this invention has better mechanical properties and can be produced in a more efficient manner due to the parchment paper used as the base material having a lower parchmentization level and the thin non-continuous oxygen barrier coating formed thereon. Compared to the existing multilayer products comprising a parchment base paper and an oxygen barrier coating, this invention offers a fully compostable material having better oxygen barrier properties due to the thin non-continuous coating made of a water-soluble polymer and/or a water-dispersible polymer.
  • the present invention solves the problems of the prior art by the following means.
  • the present invention relates to a barrier paper comprising a parchment paper as a base material and a non-continuous coating formed on a surface of the base material, wherein the non-continuous coating is made of at least one of a water-soluble polymer and a water-dispersible polymer.
  • the present invention relates to a method for producing a barrier paper comprising applying at least one water-soluble polymer or water-dispersible polymer onto a surface of a parchment paper as a base material to form a non-continuous coating.
  • a further advantage of the present invention resides in the fact that the barrier paper as described herein can be prepared in a sustainable and more efficient manner and waste and production costs can be reduced compared to prior art procedures.
  • the present invention relates to a packaging material for oxygen sensitive products comprising the barrier paper described herein.
  • Fig. 1 shows a cross-sectional view of an uncoated parchment paper with scanning electron microscope (SEM).
  • the present invention relates to a barrier paper comprising a parchment paper as a base material and a non-continuous coating formed on a surface of the base material, wherein the non-continuous coating is made of at least one of a water-soluble polymer and a water-dispersible polymer.
  • biodegradable is generally defined in line with the EN13432 standard.
  • biodegradable when applied to a material or a product means that the material, or the entire product, will both biodegrade and disintegrate.
  • biodegrade it is meant that the chemical structure or the material breaks down under the action of micro-organisms, while by “disintegrates” it is meant that the material, or the product made from it, will physically fall apart into fine visually indistinguishable fragments, at the end of a typical composting cycle.
  • the term "parchment paper” or "genuine vegetable parchment (GVP)” refers to a material comprised substantially of cellulose, which has been subjected to a parchmentizing process.
  • Cellulose materials are derived from manmade sources such as regenerated cellulose fibers or films or from natural sources such as fibers or pulp from woody plants or non-woody plants.
  • a cellulose paper sheet is treated with a gelatinizing agent comprising, for example, sulfuric acid under conditions where the reaction time between the gelatinizing agent and the cellulose is limited to control cellulose dissolution, hydrolysis and degradation. The treated paper is then washed thoroughly so as to remove the gelatinizing agent, after which it is dried.
  • the bath chemical partially dissolves or gelatinizes the cellulose in the paper sheet.
  • the dissolved cellulose is subsequently precipitated when the bath chemical is diluted by washing the treated paper.
  • This process called parchmenting or parchmentizing, forms a very tough, stiff, smooth paper with an appearance somewhat like that of a genuine parchment.
  • paper treated in this manner has a tendency to become brittle and to wrinkle upon drying, it is sometimes treated with a plasticizing agent, for example glycerin, glucose or Sorbitol.
  • Vulcanized fiber is a related product made by treating a cellulose paper sheet with a gelatinizing agent comprising, for example, zinc chloride.
  • the surface of a parchment paper or a GVP typically has small cracks and recesses formed therein, which can result in a certain average surface roughness.
  • non-continuous coating refers to a coating formed on a surface of the base material, which provides a non-continuous coverage of said surface. That means, whilst the non-continuous coating is equally distributed over the entire surface of the base material, it may be applied in an amount that is not sufficient to form a continuous coating layer.
  • the non-continuous coating does not necessarily cover the whole surface area of the base material but can represent a partial coating, as long as the non-continuous coating fills in the cracks and recesses of the surface of the base material. Some parts of the surface can remain exposed without being covered by the coating.
  • the cracks and recesses that are filled with the non-continuous coating are distributed equally over the entire surface area of the base material so that a more even surface (having a reduced surface roughness than the base material used) is formed.
  • water-soluble polymer refers to polymers that are substantially soluble in water, i.e. polymers that form a substantially homogeneous solution with water by being dissolved therein.
  • the water-soluble polymers described herein are entirely solubilized before use.
  • examples of the water-soluble polymer are carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC), hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), polyvinyl alcohol and cationic starch.
  • water-dispersible polymer refers to polymers that are substantially not soluble in water but that can be mixed with water so as to form a heterogeneous mixture, which can be a dispersion or an emulsion.
  • examples of the water-dispersible polymer are acrylic latex, styrene-butadiene latex, styrene acrylic latex, starches and biopolyesters such as polylactic acid (PLA), polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) or mixtures thereof.
  • the "oxygen transmission rate (OTR)" of a material refers to the amount of oxygen (cm 3 ) that is transmitted through a specified area of the material (m 2 ) during one day at atmospheric pressure of 1.013 bar (1 atm), a temperature of 23 °C and a relative humidity of 50%.
  • the oxygen transmission rate (OTR) (cm 3 /m 2 /day) is measured in accordance with ASTM D 3985 and ASTM F 1927. Unless described otherwise, the OTR described herein is measured on an OX-TRAN 2/22 apparatus (supplier: MOCON), which complies with ASTM D3985.
  • the OTR of a material is a measure for the oxygen barrier properties of the material and indicates the gas barrier level. In other words, the lower the OTR of a material, the smaller the amount of gas being transmitted through the material which results in the material offering a high barrier to gas, especially to oxygen.
  • the first aspect of the present invention relates to a barrier paper comprising a parchment paper as a base material having a non-continuous coating made of at least one of a water-soluble polymer and a water-dispersible polymer formed on a surface thereof.
  • the inventors have surprisingly found that the barrier paper is provided with high oxygen barrier properties and simultaneously with excellent mechanical properties when coating a parchment paper with a water-soluble polymer and/or a water-dispersible polymer so as to obtain a non-continuous coating.
  • the oxygen barrier properties are especially excellent when coating the parchment paper with 1.5 g/m 2 or less, preferably with 0.05 to 1.5 g/m 2 , more preferably with 0.2 to 1.0 g/m 2 of a water-soluble polymer and/or a water-dispersible polymer.
  • One important aspect of the present invention resides in the discovery that the formation of a non-continuous coating on a surface of a parchment paper is already sufficient to significantly improve the oxygen barrier properties thereof.
  • the surface of parchment paper typically contains certain unevenesses such as cracks and recesses, which reduce the oxygen barrier properties of the parchment paper. It is thought that the high oxygen barrier properties of the barrier paper according to the present invention result from the non-continuous coating filling in the unevennesses present in the surface of the parchment paper used as the base material.
  • a further key aspect of the present invention is the discovery that a parchment paper having a high to moderate parchmentization level and having insufficient oxygen barrier properties prior to being coated with the non-continuous coating can be suitably used as the base material of the barrier paper. Specifically, when using a parchment paper having low oxygen barrier properties as the base material, improved oxygen barrier properties can be obtained by coating this parchment paper with the non-continuous coating made of a water-soluble polymer and/or a water-dispersible polymer.
  • the barrier paper described herein can therefore be advantageously used as barrier layer for the construction of highly gas and moisture impermeable packaging material, especially as packaging material for oxygen-sensitive items. Furthermore, as the barrier paper described herein has excellent mechanical properties with respect to tear strength, wet burst strength and dry burst strength, it can also be used as reinforcement layer for the construction of packaging material, particularly for packaging having a predetermined shape.
  • the present invention provides a fully biodegradable, compostable and bio-sourced product that substantially consists of cellulose and acts as an oxygen barrier layer as well as a reinforcing layer. Due to the fact that a parchment paper having a lower parchmentization level can be used as the base paper, whereby energy required during parchmentization in the production process can be saved and waste produced during the production can be reduced, rendering the production process more efficient and less expensive.
  • the parchment paper used as the base material may be a genuine vegetable parchment (GVP).
  • the parchment paper is substantially made of short fibres pulp.
  • the parchment paper used as the base material preferably comprises at least 50 percent and even more preferably at least 80 percent cellulose.
  • the parchment paper is composed of 100% cellulose, rendering the parchment paper completely bio-sourced and fully biodegradable/compostable.
  • the parchment paper therefore preferably contains no more than 5 wt.% of non-compostable material or material of undetermined compostability in order to meet the requirements of the EN 13432 standard.
  • any additives added to the cellulose fiber base sheet are compostable.
  • the parchment paper to be used as the base material has preferably an OTR of less than 10,000 cm 3 /m 2 /day, more preferably less than 5000 cm 3 /m 2 /day, even more preferably less than 1000 cm 3 /m 2 /day, as measured at 23 °C and a relative humidity of 50%.
  • OTR an OTR of less than 10,000 cm 3 /m 2 /day
  • the resulting barrier paper may not have a sufficiently low OTR value suitable for packaging of oxygen sensitive items.
  • a parchment paper having an OTR of about 5000 - 150,000 cm 3 /m 2 /day has a low parchmentization level (e.g. Sulpack, manufactured by Ahlstrom Munksjö), a parchment paper having an OTR of about 150 - 3000 cm 3 /m 2 /day has a medium parchmentization level (e.g. Sulflex, manufactured by Ahlstrom Munksjö), and a parchment paper having an OTR of 10 cm 3 /m 2 /day or less has a very high parchmentization level (e.g. PureBarrier, manufactured by Ahlstrom Munksjö).
  • a low parchmentization level e.g. Sulpack, manufactured by Ahlstrom Munksjö
  • a parchment paper having an OTR of about 150 - 3000 cm 3 /m 2 /day has a medium parchmentization level (e.g. Sulflex, manufactured by Ahlstrom Munksjö)
  • a very highly parchmentized parchment paper (e.g. PureBarrier) can exhibit a favourable OTR value of less than 10 cm 3 /m 2 /day.
  • the mechanical properties of the parchment paper are reduced, because a very high parchmentization level leads to the paper being more brittle and sensitive to cracking.
  • the average Bekk smoothness of the parchment paper to be used as the base material is preferably between 4.0 and 20.0 s, more preferably between 5.0 and 16.0 s.
  • the non-continuous coating can be formed on the surface of the parchment paper in such a way that the unevenesses (cracks and recesses) present in the surface of the parchment paper are filled in with the coating and a more homogeneous thickness profile can be obtained.
  • the OTR of the resulting barrier paper can be advantageously reduced.
  • the average Bekk smoothness of the parchment paper to be used as the base material can be measured according to the Bekk roughness determination method ISO 5627:1995.
  • the average Bekk smoothness can be determined with a Buchel 131 ED apparatus.

Indeed, the higher the density the lesser the pore volume. Consequently, one can achieve a satisfactory OTR value by applying a non-continuous coating.
  • the parchment paper will not include binders and other additives.
  • additives may be used to achieve specific desired results.
  • a softener such as glycerol can be added to make the parchment paper less brittle, or a filler such as TiO 2 may be added to modify opacity of the parchment paper, or a pigment may be added to change the colour of the parchment paper.

  • any additives that are added are biodegradable and/or compostable.
  • the non-continuous coating is formed on a surface of the base material. It is preferable that the non-continuous coating is applied in an amount of 1.5 g/m 2 or less. Applying the non-continuous coating is such a light amount, i.e. in an amount of at most 1.5 g/m 2 , is already sufficient to obtain excellent oxygen barrier properties. A small amount of the coating can be applied, because it is sufficient that the cracks and recesses present in the surface of the parchment paper are at least partly filled with the coating.
  • the non-continuous coating is applied in an amount of 0.1 to 1.5 g/m 2 , more preferably 0.1 to 1.0 g/m 2 , even more preferably 0.1 to 0.5 g/m 2 , and most preferably 0.2 to 0.3 g/m 2 , so that the unevenesses present in the surface of the parchment paper used as the base material are filled so that the resulting barrier paper has a smoother surface, i.e. a surface having reduced profile roughness parameters.

  • the Mw of CMC can be adjusted both by raw material selection and the conditions of its manufacturing process.
