Description
本発明は、衛生性、柔軟性、透明性、突き刺し強度、耐熱性、落袋強度、ヒートシール適性、等に優れた積層体、及びそれからなる薬液、血液等を入れる医療用袋に関する。 The present invention relates to a laminate excellent in hygiene, flexibility, transparency, puncture strength, heat resistance, bag drop strength, heat sealability, and the like, and a medical bag containing a drug solution, blood, and the like comprising the laminate.
医療用袋には、内容液が視認できるような透明性、内容液の滴下性の観点から柔軟性、滅菌など加熱処理によっても透明性,柔軟性を損なうことのない耐熱性が求められる。上記要求を備え、しかも衛生性の良好な樹脂材料としてポリエチレン系の積層体が検討され、多くの提案がなされている。 The medical bag is required to have transparency so that the content liquid can be visually recognized and from the viewpoint of dripping of the content liquid, flexibility, heat resistance such as sterilization and heat resistance that does not impair the flexibility. As a resin material having the above requirements and having good hygiene, a polyethylene laminate has been studied and many proposals have been made.
例えば、内外層が0.910〜0.940g/cm3の密度を有するエチレン・α−オレフィン共重合体である線状低密度ポリエチレンからなり、中間層が0.880〜0.905g/cm3の密度を有するエチレン・α−オレフィン共重合体である線状低密度ポリエチレンからなり、かつ、内層および外層と中間層との間に密度の差を少なくとも0.01g/cm3設けた三層構造のプラスチック容器が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。しかしながら、上記のプラスチック容器は、耐熱性が充分でないという大きな問題がある。特に滅菌処理の温度条件を120℃以上という過酷な条件にした場合には、この成形品は、透明性や柔軟性が低下したりする。 For example, the inner and outer layers are made of linear low density polyethylene which is an ethylene / α-olefin copolymer having a density of 0.910 to 0.940 g / cm 3 , and the intermediate layer is 0.880 to 0.905 g / cm 3. A three-layer structure comprising a linear low-density polyethylene which is an ethylene / α-olefin copolymer having a density of at least 0.01 g / cm 3 between the inner layer, the outer layer and the intermediate layer A plastic container has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). However, the plastic container has a big problem that the heat resistance is not sufficient. In particular, when the temperature condition of the sterilization treatment is set to a severe condition of 120 ° C. or higher, the molded product has reduced transparency and flexibility.
また、密度が0.910g/cm3以上0.950g/cm3未満の直鎖状ポリエチレンで形成された外層と、密度が0.940g/cm3以下の直鎖状ポリエチレンで形成された内層と、前記外層と内層との間に、密度が0.920g/cm3以下で外層および内層を形成する直鎖状ポリエチレンの密度とは異なる密度を有する直鎖状ポリエチレンから形成されてなる少なくとも一つの中間層を含む中間層部とを有し、かつ、これらの層の少なくとも一つの層が、密度が0.950g/cm3以上の高密度ポリエチレンを5〜55重量%含む直鎖状ポリエチレン組成物で形成されていることを特徴とする樹脂積層体が提案されている(例えば、特許文献2参照)。
さらに、外層が特定のビカット軟化温度を有するポリオレフィン系樹脂材料で形成され、内層が低結晶成分と高結晶成分とを含むエチレン・α−オレフィン共重合体を主成分とするポリエチレン系材料で形成された積層体が提案されている(例えば、特許文献3参照)。
しかしながら、これらの積層体からなる医療用袋は、耐熱性が向上し透明性の低下は改善されるが、柔軟性低下の改善は充分ではない。さらに耐熱性を改善するために、高密度ポリエチレンを増やしても、今度は突き刺し強度や落袋強度が悪化することになるため、柔軟性及び透明性に優れ、かつ耐熱性が高く、さらには突き刺し強度や落袋時の破袋強度についても良好で、ヒートシール適性に優れた医療用袋は、従来の多層医療用袋では達成できていなかった。
Furthermore, the outer layer is formed of a polyolefin-based resin material having a specific Vicat softening temperature, and the inner layer is formed of a polyethylene-based material mainly composed of an ethylene / α-olefin copolymer containing a low crystal component and a high crystal component. A laminated body has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 3).
However, medical bags made of these laminates have improved heat resistance and improved transparency, but not enough to improve flexibility. In order to further improve heat resistance, even if high-density polyethylene is increased, the piercing strength and drop-off bag strength will deteriorate this time. Therefore, the flexibility and transparency are excellent, and the heat resistance is high. A medical bag excellent in strength and bag breaking strength at the time of dropping a bag and excellent in heat sealability could not be achieved by a conventional multilayer medical bag.
本発明は、上記問題点に鑑み、衛生性が高く、柔軟性、透明性及び突き刺し強度に優れ、かつ耐熱性が高く、さらには、低温雰囲気下での落袋強度についても良好な、薬液、血液などを収容する医療用袋用積層体及びそれからなる医療用袋を提供することを課題とする。 In view of the above problems, the present invention is highly hygienic, excellent in flexibility, transparency and puncture strength, has high heat resistance, and has a good bag drop strength in a low temperature atmosphere. It is an object of the present invention to provide a laminated body for medical bags that contains blood and the like, and a medical bag comprising the same.
本発明者らは、上記問題点を解決すべく鋭意検討した結果、特定のポリオレフィン系樹脂材料と特定の高密度ポリエチレンを含む特定のエチレン・α−オレフィン共重合体組成物を積層し、水冷インフレーション成形することにより、衛生性が高く、柔軟性、透明性及び突き刺し強度に優れ、かつ耐熱性が高く、さらには、低温雰囲気下での落袋強度についても良好な、薬液、血液などを収容する医療用袋用積層体が得られるとの知見を得て、本発明を完成させるに至った。 As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors laminated a specific ethylene / α-olefin copolymer composition containing a specific polyolefin-based resin material and a specific high-density polyethylene, and water-cooled inflation. By molding, it contains chemicals, blood, etc. that have high hygiene, excellent flexibility, transparency and puncture strength, high heat resistance, and good bag drop strength in a low-temperature atmosphere. The knowledge that a laminate for medical bags can be obtained has led to the completion of the present invention.

The sample bag thus obtained is put into a high-temperature and high-pressure cooking sterilization tester (manufactured by Nisaka Manufacturing Co., Ltd., RCS / 40RTGN type) and then pressurized, the ambient temperature is increased to 115 ° C., and the temperature is adjusted. Hold for 30 minutes. Then, it cooled to about 40 degreeC and took out this sample bag from the testing machine. Hereinafter, this sterilized laminate (“sample bag”) is referred to as “sterilized laminate”.
The heat sealing was performed under the conditions of temperature: 200 ° C., pressure: 2 kg / cm 2 , and time of 4 seconds.

In addition, when the outer surface of the laminate does not adhere to the upper seal bar, the optimum heat seal temperature is widened, so that not only the work efficiency is good, but also there are few troubles such as defective heat seal, which is excellent.

本発明の積層体は、衛生性が良好であるだけでなく、115℃滅菌処理後の柔軟性、透明性、突き刺し強度に著しく優れ、かつ耐熱性、輸送時、取り扱い時に問題となる落袋強度に優れている。よって、医療用袋、特に輸液バッグなどの医療分野、及び耐熱性が必要なレトルト用の食品包装分野でも利用可能である。 The laminate of the present invention not only has good hygiene, but also has excellent flexibility, transparency and puncture strength after 115 ° C. sterilization treatment, and heat resistance, bag drop strength that causes problems during transportation and handling Is excellent. Therefore, it can also be used in the medical field such as medical bags, particularly infusion bags, and the food packaging field for retorts that require heat resistance.
