【産業上の利用分野】
本発明は高速、低圧下における低温ヒートシール性、密封性、ラミネート強度に優れ、且つ耐ブロッキング性、包装材料に好適なスリップ性、透明性等を有する熱融着性プロピレン系重合体積層フィルム及びその用途に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
プロピレン系ランダム共重合体から得られるフィルムは低密度ポリエチレン、線状低密度ポリエチレン等のエチレン系重合体から得られるフィルムに比べて、ヒートシール強度、透明性、腰の強さ、耐ブロッキング性、ホットタック性、耐傷付き性、耐熱性等に優れるので、スナック、菓子、パン、野菜、麺等の食品、或いはシャツ、ズボン等の衣料品を始めとする日用品等あらゆる分野の製品の包装材料として広く使用されている。そして、かかるプロピレン系ランダム共重合体からなるフィルムは低密度ポリエチレン、線状低密度ポリエチレン等のエチレン系重合体からなるフィルムに比べると低温ヒートシール性に劣ることから、その改良が常に要求されている。低温ヒートシール性を改良する方法としては、例えば結晶性プロピレンランダム共重合体と1−ブテン系ランダム共重合体との組成物(特許文献1)、メタロセン触媒を用いた重合方法により得られるプロピレン・α―オレフィンランダム共重合体(例えば、特許文献2)等、種々提案されている。しかしながら、いずれのフィルムも低温ヒートシール性と剛性、密封性、ラミネート強度、耐ブロッキング性等のバランスに優れるものは得られていない。

本発明における各種試験法および評価法は次の通りである。
(1)ヒートシール強度(N/15mm)
ヒートシール強度を測定する前に、予めフィルムを38℃オ−ブン中で15時間エ−ジングした後放冷した。フィルムの熱融着層面を重ね合せ、シ−ルバ−の当たるラミネ−ト層面に厚さ21μmのセロハンを当てて所定の温度で、幅5mmのシールバーにより、0.2MPaの圧力で1秒間、フィルムの流れ方向に対して直角方向にヒートシールした後放冷した。これから15mm幅の試験片を切り取りクロスヘッド速度500mm/分でヒートシール部を剥離し、その強度をヒートシール強度とした。
(2)ブロッキング性

Example 1
Separate extruders were prepared by preparing PER-1 as a heat-sealing layer, a propylene polymer composition dry-blended with 95% by weight of PP and 5% by weight of EBR as an intermediate layer, and EBR as a laminate layer. To obtain a three-layer co-extruded laminated film comprising a heat-fused layer / intermediate layer / laminate layer by a T-die method. The total thickness of the film was 30 μm, and the thickness of each layer was heat-fused layer: intermediate layer: laminate layer = 2.0 μm: 16.0 μm: 2.0 μm.
The physical properties and the like of the obtained three-layer co-extruded laminated film were evaluated by the methods described above. Table 1 shows the results.
[0024]
Example 2
A three-layer co-extruded laminated film was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that PER-2 was used instead of PER-1 used for the heat-sealing layer of Example 1.
Table 1 shows the evaluation results of the physical properties and the like of the obtained three-layer coextruded laminated film.
[0025]
Example 3
A three-layer co-extruded laminated film was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that PER-3 was used instead of PER-1 used for the heat sealing layer of Example 1.

As is clear from Table 1, the heat-fusible propylene-based polymer laminated film using the specific propylene / α-olefin copolymer of the present invention for the heat-sealing layer (Examples 1, 2 and 3) It has excellent blocking resistance in spite of being excellent in low-temperature heat sealability as compared with a laminated film obtained by using a conventional propylene / α-olefin copolymer (Comparative Example 1). I understand.
