Description

  The present invention relates to a bag comprising a biodegradable polymer concealing film and a transparent film.

In order to facilitate the disposal of plastic films, biodegradable films have attracted attention, and various films have been developed. The biodegradable film is subject to hydrolysis and biodegradation in soil and water, gradually breaking down and decomposing the film, and finally changing to a harmless degradation product by the action of microorganisms. As such a film, a film formed from an aromatic polyester resin, an aliphatic polyester resin such as polylactic acid or polybutylene succinate, polyvinyl alcohol, cellulose acetate, starch or the like is known.
As a method for improving the mechanical strength, durability, and thickness accuracy of these biodegradable polymers, for example, a polylactic acid stretched film, there is a method in which polylactic acid is blended with an inorganic filler and stretched (see, for example, Patent Document 1). . The stretched polylactic acid film thus obtained has a concealing property, a cosmetic property, and an ultraviolet ray cutting property in addition to the improvement of the mechanical strength. However, the resulting postal envelope consisting of a single film has concealment like a paper envelope, but there is a problem that it is necessary to write the address on the surface of the envelope by a method such as printing, and the contents are not known until the envelope is opened. .

Examples of the method for producing the biaxially stretched film (I) made of polylactic acid include the following methods.
That is, a sheet obtained by extruding a polylactic acid composition containing titanium oxide and other fillers is formed into a biaxially stretched film by biaxial stretching such as a known simultaneous biaxial stretching method or a sequential biaxial stretching method. There is a way to do it.
The biaxial stretching conditions are the conditions under which polylactic acid can be stretched, for example, in the sequential biaxial stretching method, the stretching temperature in the longitudinal direction is 60 to 100 ° C., the stretching ratio is in the range of 2 to 6 times, and the stretching temperature in the transverse direction. The temperature is preferably set to 60 to 120 ° C., and the draw ratio is preferably set to a range of 2 to 12 times.
In the simultaneous biaxial stretching method, it is desirable that the stretching temperature is in the range of 60 to 120 ° C. and the stretching ratio is in the range of 2 to 12 times (4 to 150 times in terms of surface magnification).
After biaxial stretching, heat set (heat treatment) is performed, so that the heat shrinkage rate is in an arbitrary range, for example, 100 ° C., 15 minutes, the heat shrinkage rate in the vertical direction is 0.5 to 1.5%, The direction of heat shrinkage can be in the range of 1.0 to 2.0%.

Coating layer when coating layer film (I) is a composite film in which a coating layer made of polylactic acid containing 0 to 1% silica is laminated on one side of a base material layer containing titanium oxide and other fillers Is described below.
The average particle diameter of the silica fine particles blended in the polylactic acid of the coating layer is preferably in the range of 0.1 to 12 micrometers (μm). If the average particle size of the silica fine particles is less than 0.1 micrometer (μm), the function of giving irregularities to the surface is not sufficient, and handling may be poor and unevenness may occur during kneading. From 12 micrometer (μm) If it is large, the gloss of the film (I) may be inferior.
The base layer of the film (I) is usually 5 to 500 micrometers (μm), and the covering layer is usually 5 to 300 microns.

When the melting point (Tm) of the aliphatic polyester copolymer (B) is less than 80 ° C., the melting point is too low to use the obtained film as a coating layer, and it is melted in the heat setting step after biaxial stretching, and then recrystallized. When doing so, the surface gloss may be lost and the gloss may decrease. Moreover, when used as a packaging film, there is a risk of stickiness and poor packaging suitability.
On the other hand, when the melting point (Tm) exceeds 120 ° C., the melting temperature at the time of heat-sealing becomes high, and the heat sealability may be deteriorated.
In addition, when the crystallization temperature (Tc) of the aliphatic polyester copolymer (B) is less than 35 ° C., the crystallization temperature is too low, and the stretched raw film of the laminated film containing the copolymer as a coating layer can be cast-molded. Even if it is to be obtained, it is not completely solidified at a normal cooling temperature (5 to 30 ° C.), and imprints such as nip rolls are not transferred to the obtained stretched raw material or peeled off easily from the cooling roll, resulting in a poor appearance. There is a risk of becoming.

Further, the film was heat set in an atmosphere at 165 ° C. for 10 seconds to obtain a biaxially stretched laminated film having a total thickness of 45 μm (base layer 35 μm, coating layer 5 μm each), which was designated as film (I).
<Manufacture of film (II)>
In the same manner, a biaxially stretched laminated film having a three-layer structure of film (II) made of PLAC alone was obtained as film (I).
<Manufacture of bags>
The above film (I) and film (II) are overlapped and heat sealed (two-way fusing seal, one-side ultrasonic sealing), and the envelope of film (II) is 27 mm longer at an opening of 120 mm × 235 mm. A shaped bag was manufactured.
This bag has a transparent front surface and a concealing white color and is suitable as an envelope.

It consists of a polylactic acid stretched film that is a biodegradable polymer and has a function that can be provided without opening the information on the destination and contents. For example, when used for mail delivery, it is transparent by describing the destination in the contents. Can be read from the surface of the envelope, and the back of the envelope is a milky white film with concealment, so it is easy to deliver without giving unnecessary information when used as mail, and information about the contents Can be kept secret.
