【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、清涼飲料、コーヒー、紅茶、お茶、ビール等の飲料缶、缶詰、エアゾール缶、美術缶の如く金属缶材の耐熱、美粧、耐蝕、防錆用として使用されるラミネート缶用積層体に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
金属缶の生産方式として、高生産性、優れたフレーバー性、環境ホルモン対策、鮮明な印刷効果等の利点からポリエステルフィルムにグラビア印刷、グラビアコーティング等を施し、それを接着剤にて金属板に貼り合わせるラミネート金属板方式が数年前より実用化されている。従来よりその印刷物に高輝度感を付与するために、印刷インキ組成物中にアルミニウムペースト、アルミ粉、パール(マイカ)等の顔料を添加したいわゆるメタリック調印刷インキ組成物が使用されてきた。しかし、レトルト処理後の輝度感の消失、白化等の問題があり、更に、ネック加工、樽缶加工等の厳しい加工を行った場合のレトルト処理後に於ける加工部の剥離が発生し易くなっている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の課題は、隠蔽性を損なうことなく高輝度感を付与し、かつレトルト処理後に於けるネック加工部の剥離、白化の発生が無いラミネート缶用積層体を提供することにある。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、鋭意検討の結果、高輝度印刷インキ皮膜層、接着剤層、白色印刷インキ皮膜層又は着色顔料を有する印刷インキ皮膜層の何れかの層に酸無水物を含有する積層体が上記課題を解決することを見出し、本発明に到達した。
【0005】
すなわち、本発明は、基材フィルム上に、高輝度顔料及び熱可塑性樹脂を含有する高輝度印刷インキ皮膜層及び接着剤層の2層、前記高輝度印刷インキ皮膜層及び接着剤層の間に白色印刷インキ皮膜層を有する3層、着色顔料を有する印刷インキ皮膜層と前記高輝度印刷インキ皮膜層及び前記接着剤層を有する3層、又は、前記着色顔料を有する印刷インキ皮膜層と前記高輝度印刷インキ皮膜層と前記白色印刷インキ皮膜層及び前記接着剤層を有する4層をこの順に有し、何れかの1層以上が酸無水物を含有することを特徴とするラミネート缶用積層体に関する。
【0006】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明は、基材フィルム上に、高輝度顔料及び熱可塑性樹脂を含有する高輝度印刷インキ皮膜層及び接着剤層の2層、前記高輝度印刷インキ皮膜層及び接着剤層の間に白色印刷インキ皮膜層を有する3層、着色顔料を有する印刷インキ皮膜層と前記高輝度印刷インキ皮膜層及び前記接着剤層を有する3層、又は、前記着色顔料を有する印刷インキ皮膜層と前記高輝度印刷インキ皮膜層と前記白色印刷インキ皮膜層及び前記接着剤層を有する4層をこの順に有し、何れかの1層以上が酸無水物を含有することを特徴とするラミネート缶用積層体に関するものであり、前記接着剤層を介して缶用金属板にラミネートすることにより、高輝度の意匠性を有する缶を得ることが出来る。以下、各層について詳細の述べる。
【0007】
(1)高輝度顔料
高輝度顔料としては、アルミペースト、アルミニウム等の金属薄膜細片、更に、蒸着金属薄膜細片等が用いられる。
【0008】
アルミペーストはアルミニウム粉末を溶剤とともにペースト状に練ったものであり、アルミニウム粉の平均粒子径は、5〜50μmが好ましく、さらに好ましくは10〜35μmである。平均粒子径が5μm未満の場合は、塗膜の輝度が不十分となり、50μmを越えると、グラビア方式あるいはスクリーン印刷方式で印刷または塗布する場合は、版の目詰まりの原因となり得る。アルミペーストの配合量としては、高輝度印刷インキ中に1〜50質量%が好ましく、さらに好ましくは10〜30質量%である。アルミペーストは、ラミネート缶用の高輝度印刷インキ中における分散性を高めるために表面処理するのが好ましい。表面処理剤としては、ステアリン酸、オレイン酸、パルミチン酸等の有機脂肪酸、メチルシリルイソシアネート、ニトロセルロース、セルロースアセテートプロピオネート、セルロースアセテートブチレート、エチルセルロース等のセルロース誘導体、アクリル樹脂等が挙げられる。
【0009】
金属薄膜細片の金属として、アルミニウム、金、銀、銅、真鍮、チタン、クロム、ニッケル、ニッケルクロム、ステンレス等を使用することができる。好ましくは、アルミニウム薄膜細片である。より好ましくは、アルミニウム蒸着薄膜細片であり、なかでもセルロース誘導体で表面処理したアルミニウム蒸着薄膜細片が好ましい。金属薄膜細片の厚さは、0.01〜0.1μmが好ましく、さらに好ましくは0.03〜0.08μmである。印刷インキ組成物中に分散させる金属薄膜細片の面方向の大きさは、5〜25μmが好ましく、さらに好ましくは10〜15μmである。大きさが5μm未満の場合は、塗膜の輝度が不十分となり、25μmを越えると金属薄膜細片が配向しにくくなるので輝度が低下する。金属薄膜細片の配合量としては、高輝度印刷インキ中に0.1〜50質量%が好ましく、さらに好ましくは1〜10質量%である。金属薄膜細片は、ラミネート缶用高輝度印刷インキ中における分散性を高めるために表面処理するのが好ましい。表面処理剤としては、ステアリン酸、オレイン酸、パルミチン酸等の有機脂肪酸、メチルシリルイソシアネート、ニトロセルロース、セルロースアセテートプロピオネート、セルロースアセテートブチレート、エチルセルロース等のセルロース誘導体、アクリル樹脂等が挙げられ、公知慣用の方法で金属薄膜細片表面に吸着させる。
【0010】
(2)熱可塑性樹脂
熱可塑性樹脂としてはポリウレタン樹脂、ポリエステル樹脂、ポリウレタンウレア樹脂、塩化ビニル/ビニルアルコール共重合樹脂、酢酸ビニル/ビニルアルコール共重合樹脂、塩化ビニル/酢酸ビニル/ビニルアルコール共重合樹脂、塩化ビニル/酢酸ビニル共重合樹脂、塩化ビニル/マレイン酸共重合樹脂、酢酸ビニル/マレイン酸共重合樹脂、塩化ビニル/酢酸ビニル/マレイン酸共重合樹脂、アクリル樹脂、ポリアミド樹脂、硝化綿、エポキシ樹脂、アセタール樹脂、ブチラール樹脂等が挙げられる。これら樹脂は1種類である必要はなく混合しても使用できる。好ましくは、ポリウレタン系樹脂単独、またはポリウレタン系樹脂とビニル系樹脂の混合系である。
【0011】
(3)酸無水物
酸無水物としては、例えば、フタル酸無水物、コハク酸無水物、ヘット酸無水物、ハイミック酸無水物、マレイン酸無水物、テトラヒドロフタル酸無水物、ヘキサヒドロフタル酸無水物、テトラプロムフタル酸無水物、テトラクロルフタル酸無水物、トリメリット酸無水物、ピロメリット酸無水物、ベンゾフェノンテトラカルボン酸無水物、2,3,6,7−ナフタリンテトラカルボン酸2無水物、5−(2,5−ジオキソテトラヒドロ−3−フラニル)−3−メチル−3−シクロヘキセン−1,2−ジカルボン酸無水物、スチレン無水マレイン酸共重合体等が挙げられる。これら酸無水物は1種類である必要はなく混合しても使用できる。好ましくは、トリメリット酸無水物、ピロメリット酸無水物、ベンゾフェノンテトラカルボン酸無水物、5−(2,5−ジオキソテトラヒドロ−3−フラニル)−3−メチル−3−シクロヘキセン−1,2−ジカルボン酸無水物である。
【0012】
酸無水物のラミネート缶用の高輝度印刷インキ中への添加方法としては、酸無水物が液体の場合は、インキ配合中にそのまま添加し、酸無水物が固体の場合は、固体のまま添加しても良いが、より好ましくは、ラミネート缶用の高輝度印刷インキ中に均一に溶解させる目的で予めメチルエチルケトン等の溶剤に溶解させた後に添加する事が好ましい。
【0013】
ラミネート缶用の高輝度印刷インキ中の酸無水物の添加量は0.01〜50質量%の範囲、より好ましくは0.1〜10質量%の範囲にする事により、製缶焼き付け後基材フィルム、白色インキ皮膜層、接着剤層、金属板との密着性が向上する。特にインキを厚盛り若しくは積層し、厳しい加工を施した後のレトルト耐性及びレトルト白化耐性が向上する。酸無水物の添加量が0.01質量%を下回る場合、製缶焼き付け後、厳しい加工を施した後のレトルト耐性及びレトルト白化耐性に対する寄与が低下する。又逆に酸無水物の添加量が50質量%を上回る場合、インキの高粘度化、印刷適性の低下の問題が発生する場合がある。また、高輝度顔料の金属成分に対する酸無水物の含有量比が0.01〜4.0であることが好ましい。
【0014】
酸無水物は、ラミネート缶用高輝度印刷インキ皮膜層、白色印刷インキ皮膜層、着色顔料を有する印刷インキ皮膜層の内の1層以上に含有させることが好ましいが、レトルト時のアルミニウム等の酸化による白化を考慮して、少なくとも、前記高輝度印刷インキ皮膜層に含有させるのが特に好ましい。
【0015】

本発明で使用する溶剤は、従来のグラビアインキ、フレキソインキ、あるいはスクリーンインキに使われている公知慣用の溶剤を使用することができる。具体的には例えば、トルエン、キシレン等の芳香族炭化水素、シクロヘキサン、ノルマルヘキサン等の脂肪族または脂環式炭化水素、酢酸エチル、酢酸プロピル等のエステル類、メタノール、エタノール、イソプロパノール等のアルコール類、アセトン、メチルエチルケトン、メチルイソブチルケトン等のケトン類、エチレングリコールモノエチルエーテル、プロピレングリコールモノメチルエーテル等のアルキレングリコールアルキルエーテル等を挙げることができる。好ましくは、トルエン、メチルエチルケトン、イソプロパノールまたは、酢酸エチル、メチルエチルケトン、イソプロパノールを主溶剤とする混合系である。
【0016】
(5)その他の任意の添加剤
尚、高輝度感、物性を阻害しない限り、印刷インキ組成物中に消泡、沈降防止、顔料分散、流動性改質、ブロッキング防止、帯電防止、酸化防止、光安定性、紫外線吸収、内部架橋、着色等を目的とする各種添加剤を併用することも可能である。
【0017】
本発明に用いるラミネート缶用の高輝度印刷インキは、金属光沢を発現させるために上記配合原料を混合撹拌することによって調製することが望ましい。
【0018】
(6)接着剤層
接着剤としては公知のものが任意に用いられるが、例えば熱可塑性のポリエステル樹脂、ポリウレタン樹脂をバインダーとし、透明または酸化チタン等の白色顔料を有する接着剤が用いられる。接着剤の塗布量は、固形分で1g〜20g/mの範囲が好ましい。透明接着剤の場合は、1g〜5g/mがより好ましい。白色顔料を含有する接着剤の場合は、5g〜15g/mがより好ましい。接着剤中に酸無水物を含有する場合の酸無水物の添加量は0.01〜50質量%の範囲、より好ましくは0.1〜10質量%の範囲である。これにより、製缶焼き付け後基材フィルム、インキ皮膜層及び金属板との密着性が向上し、特にインキを厚盛り若しくは積層し、厳しい加工を施した後のレトルト耐性及びレトルト白化耐性が向上する。酸無水物の添加量が0.01質量%を下回る場合、製缶焼き付け後、厳しい加工を施した後のレトルト耐性及びレトルト白化耐性に対する寄与が低下する。又逆に酸無水物の添加量が50質量%を上回る場合、接着剤の高粘度化、塗装適性の低下の問題が発生する場合がある。
【0019】
(7)白色印刷インキ
白色印刷インキ皮膜層を形成するインキとしては、前記した熱可塑性樹脂、溶剤を酸化チタン等の白色顔料と混合または練肉することによって調製することが望ましい。尚、物性を阻害しない限り、白インキ中に消泡、沈降防止、顔料分散、流動性改質、ブロッキング防止、帯電防止、酸化防止、光安定性、紫外線吸収、内部架橋等を目的とする各種添加剤を併用することも可能である。白色印刷インキの印刷方法は、前記した印刷方法が好ましく、塗布量は、固形分で0.1g〜10g/m好ましい。白色印刷インキ中に酸無水物を含有させる場合の酸無水物の添加量は0.01〜50質量%の範囲、より好ましくは0.1〜10質量%の範囲である。これにより、製缶焼き付け後基材フィルム、高輝度印刷インキ皮膜層、接着剤層、金属板との密着性が向上し、特にインキを厚盛り若しくは積層し、厳しい加工を施した後のレトルト耐性及びレトルト白化耐性が向上する。酸無水物の添加量が0.01質量%を下回る場合、製缶焼き付け後、厳しい加工を施した後のレトルト耐性及びレトルト白化耐性に対する寄与が低下する。又逆に酸無水物の添加量が50質量%を上回る場合、インキの高粘度化、印刷適性の低下の問題が発生する場合がある。
【0020】
(8)着色顔料を有する印刷インキ
着色顔料を有する印刷インキ皮膜層を形成するインキとしては、前記した熱可塑性樹脂、溶剤を既存の各種顔料と混合または練肉することによって調製することが望ましい。尚、物性を阻害しない限り、着色顔料を有する印刷インキ中に消泡、沈降防止、顔料分散、流動性改質、ブロッキング防止、帯電防止、酸化防止、光安定性、紫外線吸収、内部架橋等を目的とする各種添加剤を併用することも可能である。着色顔料を有する印刷インキの印刷方法は、前記した印刷方法が好ましく、塗布量は、固形分で0.1g〜10g/m好ましい。着色顔料を有する印刷インキ中に酸無水物を含有させる場合の酸無水物の添加量は0.01〜50質量%の範囲、より好ましくは0.1〜10質量%の範囲である。これにより、製缶焼き付け後基材フィルム、インキ皮膜層、接着剤層、金属板との密着性が向上し、特にインキを厚盛り若しくは積層し、厳しい加工を施した後のレトルト耐性及びレトルト白化耐性が向上する。酸無水物の添加量が0.01質量%を下回る場合、製缶焼き付け後、厳しい加工を施した後のレトルト耐性及びレトルト白化耐性に対する寄与が低下する。又逆に酸無水物の添加量が50質量%を上回る場合、インキの高粘度化、印刷適性の低下の問題が発生する場合がある。

本発明のラミネート缶用積層体に用いる高輝度印刷インキは、基材フィルム上に印刷され、接着剤層を介して、缶用金属板にラミネートされる。求める意匠性に応じて下地の金属表面を隠蔽するために接着剤層との間に、前記した白色印刷インキ皮膜層を設けても良い。また着色顔料を有する印刷インキに輝度感等を付与する目的で基材フィルムと該高輝度印刷インキ皮膜層の間に着色顔料を有する印刷インキ皮膜層を設けても良い。
【0022】
基材フィルムとしては、ポリエステル樹脂フィルムが特に好ましいが、その他のポリプロピレン、ナイロン、ポリエチレン樹脂フィルム等に対しても用いることができる。フィルムの厚さは通常5〜50μm程度が好ましく用いられる。
【0023】
本発明のラミネート缶用積層体に用いる高輝度印刷インキの印刷方法としてはグラビア印刷、フレキソ印刷、スクリーン印刷などの方式が用いられる。塗布方式としては、グラビアコーター、グラビアリバースコーター、フレキシコーター、ブランケットコーター、ロールコーター、ナイフコーター、エアナイフコーター、キスタッチコーター、コンマコーター等を使用することができる。
【0024】
ラミネート缶用の高輝度印刷インキの塗布量は、固形分で0.1g〜10g/mが好ましい。塗布量が0.1g/m未満の場合は、インキ塗膜の輝度が不十分となり、10g/mを越えると加工性が低下する。
【0025】
求める意匠性に応じて下地の金属表面を隠蔽するために接着剤層との間に、白色インキ皮膜層を設ける場合、白色インキの印刷方法は、前記した高輝度印刷インキ組成物の印刷方法と同様で良く、塗布量は、固形分で0.1g〜10g/mが好ましい。

If the amount of the acid anhydride is less than 0.01% by mass, the contribution to the retort resistance and the retort whitening resistance after severe processing after baking of a can is reduced. On the other hand, when the amount of the acid anhydride exceeds 50% by mass, problems such as an increase in viscosity of the adhesive and a decrease in coating suitability may occur.
