Description

The present invention relates to a shrink label having a base film made of a multilayer film that is excellent in heat resistance, oil resistance, cut performance at perforations, and appearance and that does not peel off during mounting.

In recent years, many containers such as plastic bottles and metal bottles are provided with a shrink label obtained by printing or the like on a base film made of a heat-shrinkable resin film.
As shrink labels, those made of polystyrene resin are the mainstream because of their excellent low temperature shrinkability. However, since the polystyrene resin film has insufficient heat resistance, for example, when a plastic bottle collapses during heating in a hot warmer at a convenience store etc., the label shrinks and the label is distorted or torn. There was a problem that I could get lost. In addition, since the polystyrene-based resin film has insufficient solvent resistance, there is a problem that when it is used for packaging an article containing oil, it may shrink or dissolve due to adhesion of the oil. It was.

On the other hand, an attempt has been made to use a polyester film excellent in heat resistance and solvent resistance as a shrink label instead of the polystyrene resin film. However, the polyester film has poor low-temperature shrinkability and has a problem that wrinkles are easily generated when the polyester film is attached to a container. In addition, the shrink film is often provided with a perforation for peeling so that the shrink label can be easily peeled off from the container after use in order to recycle the container. There was also a problem that the cut property at the perforation was poor and the shrink label could not be easily peeled off from the container.

On the other hand, Patent Document 1 discloses a hard multilayer shrinkable film in which an outer layer made of a polyester resin is laminated on an intermediate layer made of a polystyrene resin through an adhesive layer made of an olefin resin. ing. In Patent Document 2, an outer surface layer made of a polyester resin made of a specific monomer is laminated on both sides of an intermediate layer made of a polystyrene resin, and the intermediate layer and the outer surface layer form an adhesive layer. A shrink label provided with a base film laminated without being interposed is disclosed. Shrink labels made of these multilayer films are excellent in low-temperature shrinkage and perforation cutability by an intermediate layer made of polystyrene resin, and because the intermediate layer is covered by an outer surface layer made of polyester resin, Excellent solvent resistance and heat resistance. However, when these shrink labels are actually attached to the container, the hard multilayer shrinkable film described in Patent Document 1 may cause the intermediate layer and the outer surface layer to be peeled off during the attachment. In the shrink label described in, peeling between the inner surface layer and the outer surface layer may occur when the films are rubbed during transportation of the product after being mounted, or when scratched by human nails or objects. There was a problem that there was.

In view of the above-mentioned present situation, the present invention aims to provide a shrink label having a base film made of a multilayer film that is excellent in heat resistance, oil resistance, perforation, and appearance, and that does not peel off during mounting. To do.

The present invention is a shrink label having a base film made of a heat-shrinkable multilayer resin film comprising an intermediate layer made of polystyrene resin and an outer surface layer made of polyester resin sandwiching the intermediate layer. The constituting polystyrene resin is an aromatic vinyl hydrocarbon-conjugated diene copolymer, and the intermediate layer and the outer surface layer are composed of a carboxylic acid group, an acid anhydride group, an amino group, an epoxy group, and a hydroxyl group. It is a shrink label bonded by an adhesive layer made of a hydrogenated aromatic vinyl hydrocarbon-conjugated diene copolymer having at least one selected functional group in the molecule.
The present invention is described in detail below.

The present inventors provide a shrink label having a base film made of a heat-shrinkable multilayer resin film comprising an intermediate layer made of polystyrene resin and an outer surface layer made of polyester resin sandwiching the intermediate layer. When the layers are bonded via a specific adhesive layer, it has been found that delamination does not occur and can be stably mounted, and the present invention has been completed.

As a method of attaching the shrink label to the container, usually, the end portions of the shrink film are bonded to each other using a solvent and processed into a tube shape (center seal processing), and then heated while covering the container to form the film. The method of contracting is adopted.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a state in the vicinity of the center seal portion in a series of mounting steps when the shrink label of the present invention is used, and FIG. 2 uses a conventional shrink label using a multilayer film as a base film. The schematic diagram which shows the state of the center seal | sticker part vicinity in a series of mounting processes in the case was shown.
When the present inventors investigated in detail the state of mounting failure when a conventional shrink label using a multilayer film as a base film was used, the shrink label described in Patent Document 2 is shown in FIG. As shown, the inner layer 1 and the outer layer 2 after heat-shrinking after center sealing and when the films are rubbed during transportation of the product after heat-shrinking or when scratched by human nails or objects. (For comparison, in FIG. 2 (a), the film is peeled off at the end of the film, but not only at the end of the film. Also, peeling may occur in the central portion or the like). Moreover, in the shrink label described in Patent Document 1, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), when the heat is shrunk after the center seal, between the outer surface layer 2 on the center seal side and the adhesive layer 3 ′. It was found that peeling occurred.

In the shrink label described in Patent Document 2, the inner surface layer 1 and the outer surface layer 2 are directly laminated without using an adhesive layer. In Patent Document 2, it is said that by using an outer surface layer made of a polyester-based resin made of a specific monomer, the affinity between the inner surface layer 1 and the outer surface layer 2 is increased to increase the adhesive strength. It is considered that the adhesive strength between the layers was not high, and the layers were separated between the inner surface layer 1 and the outer surface layer 2.
On the other hand, in the shrink label described in Patent Document 1, since the inner surface layer 1 and the outer surface layer 2 are laminated via the adhesive layer 3 ′ made of an olefin resin, the adhesive strength between the layers should be high. . In the center seal method, the end portions of the shrink film are bonded using a solvent. At this time, as the solvent, a solvent that dissolves the polyester resin used for the outer surface layer is used, and a part of the outer surface layer is dissolved and bonded. The olefin resin used as the adhesive layer in Patent Document 1 has extremely high solvent resistance against a solvent for dissolving the polyester resin, and hardly dissolves or swells. Therefore, even if a part of the outer surface layer is dissolved at the center seal, the solvent does not penetrate into the inside of the shrink label, and the adhesive force between the dissolved outer surface layer and the adhesive layer on the inner side is reduced, and the heat is reduced. When stress is applied during the shrinkage, it is considered that the outer surface layer 1 and the adhesive layer 3 ′ have been separated.

On the other hand, in the shrink label of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 1, delamination did not occur even when heat shrinkage was performed after the center seal.
In the shrink label of the present invention, the inner surface layer 1 and the outer surface layer 2 have at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of a carboxylic acid group, an acid anhydride group, an amino group, an epoxy group, and a hydroxyl group in the molecule. Since the layers are laminated via the adhesive layer 3 made of a hydrogenated product of an aromatic vinyl hydrocarbon-conjugated diene copolymer, the adhesive strength between the layers is extremely high. Further, since the resin constituting the adhesive layer 3 dissolves or swells in a solvent that dissolves the polyester-based resin, the solvent penetrates into the interior of the shrink label and is bonded as a whole at the time of center sealing. Is made. For this reason, since the adhesive force between each layer improves more in a center seal part, it is thought that delamination does not occur.

The shrink label of the present invention uses, as a base film, a heat-shrinkable multilayer resin film composed of an intermediate layer made of polystyrene resin and an outer surface layer made of polyester resin sandwiching the intermediate layer.
The polystyrene resin constituting the intermediate layer is an aromatic vinyl hydrocarbon-conjugated diene copolymer. Since the aromatic vinyl hydrocarbon-conjugated diene copolymer is excellent in low-temperature shrinkage, the resulting shrink film can be easily attached to a container without generating wrinkles or the like. In addition, the cut property at the perforation is excellent.

The aromatic vinyl hydrocarbon-conjugated diene copolymer is not particularly limited. For example, aromatic vinyl hydrocarbons include styrene, o-methylstyrene, p-methylstyrene and the like, and conjugated dienes are 1,3- Examples include butadiene, 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butadiene, 1,3-pentadiene, 1,3-hexadiene, and the like. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, a styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymer (SBS resin) is preferable because it is particularly excellent in low-temperature shrinkage and cut performance at perforations. In order to produce a film with less fish eye, a styrene-isoprene-styrene copolymer (SIS resin) using 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene (isoprene) as a conjugated diene, or a styrene-isoprene. It is preferable to use a butadiene-styrene copolymer (SIBS resin) or the like.

When the SBS resin, SIS resin or SIBS resin is used as the aromatic vinyl hydrocarbon-conjugated diene copolymer, one kind of resin may be used alone, or a plurality of resins may be used in combination. . When used in plural, dry blending may be used, or a compound resin that is kneaded and pelletized using an extruder with a specific composition may be used.
It is preferable to use such a resin singly or in a plurality as a composition having a styrene content of 65 to 90% by weight and a conjugated diene content of 10 to 35% by weight. A resin having such a composition is particularly excellent in low-temperature shrinkage and perforation. On the other hand, if the conjugated diene content is less than 10% by weight, the film tends to break when tension is applied to the film, and the film may break unexpectedly when used as a converting or label for printing or the like. . When the conjugated diene content exceeds 35% by weight, foreign matters such as gel may be easily generated during the molding process.

The polyester resin constituting the outer surface layer can be obtained by condensation polymerization of dicarboxylic acid and diol.
The dicarboxylic acid is not particularly limited. For example, o-phthalic acid, terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, sebacic acid, azelaic acid, octyl succinic acid, cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, fumaric acid, Examples include maleic acid, itaconic acid, decamethylene carboxylic acid, anhydrides and lower alkyl esters thereof.
The diol is not particularly limited. For example, ethylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, diethylene glycol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, dipropylene glycol, triethylene Glycol, tetraethylene glycol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 2,3-butanediol, neopentyl glycol (2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diol), 1,2-hexane Aliphatic diols such as diol, 2,5-hexanediol, 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol, 3-methyl-1,3-pentanediol, 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol; 2-bis (4-hydroxycyclohexyl) propane, 2,2-bis (4-hydroxy) B carboxymethyl cyclohexyl) alkylene oxide adducts of propane, 1,4-cyclohexane diol, alicyclic diols such as 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol.

Among these polyester-based resins, those containing a component derived from terephthalic acid as the dicarboxylic acid component and those derived from ethylene glycol and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol as the diol component are suitable. is there. By using such a polyester-based resin, particularly high heat resistance and solvent resistance can be imparted to the resulting shrink label of the present invention.
In addition, when imparting particularly high heat resistance and solvent resistance, the content of the component derived from ethylene glycol is 60 to 80 mol%, and the content of the component derived from 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol is 10 to 10. It is preferable to use one that is 40 mol%. Such a polyester resin may further contain 0 to 20 mol% of a component derived from diethylene glycol.
As a polyester-type resin which comprises the said outer surface layer, the polyester-type resin which has the composition mentioned above may be used independently, and 2 or more types of polyester-type resins which have the composition mentioned above may be used together.

As the polyester resin, a resin having a crystal melting temperature of 240 ° C. or lower is preferably used. In the manufacture of shrink films, it is common practice to use stretched ear trimming pieces and recycled films as return materials again. Usually, such a return material is mixed with a polystyrene resin as a raw material for the intermediate layer. However, since the polystyrene resin and the polyester resin have different properties such as a melting point, the temperature is suitable for molding the polystyrene resin. When film molding is performed, the polyester resin may be extruded in an unmelted state. However, by using a polyester resin having a relatively low crystal melting temperature or no crystal melting temperature, it is possible to prevent an unmelted product of the polyester resin from becoming a foreign substance in the film after molding. On the other hand, when the crystal melting temperature exceeds 240 ° C., when molding as a return material, undissolved polyester-based resin remains as foreign matter on the film, resulting in appearance failure or ink at the time of printing. In some cases, a problem such as a printing failure occurs due to flying. More preferably, it is 220 degrees C or less.

In the heat-shrinkable multilayer resin film, the intermediate layer and the outer surface layer have at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of a carboxylic acid group, an acid anhydride group, an amino group, an epoxy group, and a hydroxyl group in the molecule. Are adhered by an adhesive layer made of a hydrogenated aromatic vinyl hydrocarbon-conjugated diene copolymer. Such an adhesive layer has a high affinity for either the polystyrene resin constituting the intermediate layer or the polyester resin constituting the outer surface layer, and can bond them with high strength. In addition, since it dissolves or swells in a solvent that dissolves the polyester resin constituting the outer surface layer, the solvent can penetrate into the interior of the shrink label during center sealing, and delamination occurs during subsequent heat shrinkage. Can be prevented. Furthermore, since it can be molded by the coextrusion method together with the intermediate layer and the outer surface layer, it is excellent in productivity.

Hydrogenation of an aromatic vinyl hydrocarbon-conjugated diene copolymer having in its molecule at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of the carboxylic acid group, acid anhydride group, amino group, epoxy group and hydroxyl group Although it does not specifically limit as a thing, For example, maleic anhydride modified styrene-ethylene / butylene-styrene block copolymer (maleic anhydride modified SEBS resin), amine modified styrene-ethylene / butylene-styrene block copolymer (amine modified) SEBS resin), amine-modified styrene-butadiene / butylene-styrene block copolymer (amine-modified SBBS resin) or carboxylic acid-modified styrene-butadiene / butylene-styrene block copolymer (carboxylic acid-modified SBBS resin) are suitable. .

Both the SEBS resin and the SBBS resin can be obtained by hydrogenating the SBS resin, and further, grafted with maleic anhydride or reacted with an amine compound, a carboxylic acid compound or the like to form an amine or carboxylic acid at the terminal portion. A modified product can be easily obtained by adding an acid.

Hydrogenation of an aromatic vinyl hydrocarbon-conjugated diene copolymer having in its molecule at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of the carboxylic acid group, acid anhydride group, amino group, epoxy group and hydroxyl group The preferable lower limit of the content of the aromatic vinyl hydrocarbon component in the product is 20% by weight, and the preferable upper limit is 80% by weight. When it is less than 20% by weight, delamination tends to occur when a shrink label is attached. When it exceeds 80% by weight, the tackiness of the adhesive layer is lowered, and sufficient adhesive strength may not be obtained. A more preferred upper limit is 50% by weight.

Hydrogenation of an aromatic vinyl hydrocarbon-conjugated diene copolymer having in its molecule at least one functional group selected from the group consisting of the carboxylic acid group, acid anhydride group, amino group, epoxy group and hydroxyl group The minimum with preferable content of the said functional group in a thing is 0.05 weight%, and a preferable upper limit is 5.0 weight%. If it is less than 0.05% by weight, the adhesion to the outer surface layer may be insufficient, and if it exceeds 5.0% by weight, the resin is thermally deteriorated when the functional group is added, and the gel Such a foreign matter may be easily generated. A more preferred lower limit is 0.1% by weight, and a more preferred upper limit is 3.0% by weight.

The preferable lower limit of the thickness of the intermediate layer is 22 μm, and the preferable upper limit is 37 μm. If it is less than 22 μm, sufficient cut performance at the perforation may not be obtained, and if it exceeds 37 μm, sufficient heat resistance may not be obtained. A more preferred lower limit is 26 μm, and a more preferred upper limit is 36 μm.
The preferable lower limit of the thickness of the outer surface layer is 3 μm, and the preferable upper limit is 10 μm. If it is less than 3 μm, sufficient oil resistance and heat resistance may not be obtained, and if it exceeds 10 μm, sufficient cut performance at the perforation may not be obtained. A more preferable lower limit is 4 μm, and a more preferable upper limit is 8 μm.
The preferable lower limit of the thickness of the adhesive layer is 0.7 μm, and the preferable upper limit is 1.5 μm. If it is less than 0.7 μm, sufficient adhesive strength may not be obtained, and if it exceeds 1.5 μm, the heat shrinkage characteristics may be deteriorated. A more preferable lower limit is 0.8 μm, and a more preferable upper limit is 1.3 μm.

The method for producing the heat-shrinkable multilayer resin film is not particularly limited, but a method of simultaneously forming each layer by a coextrusion method is preferable. For example, in co-extrusion using a T-die, any of a feed block method, a multi-manifold method, or a method using these in combination may be used as a lamination method. In particular, by setting the temperature after the portion where the resin of each layer joins to preferably 230 ° C. or higher, more preferably 240 ° C. or higher, a multilayer film having good adhesion of each layer can be obtained.

You may add additives, such as antioxidant, a heat stabilizer, a lubricant, an antistatic agent, an antiblocking agent, to the shrink label of this invention as needed. In particular, the generation of gel can be suppressed by adding a heat stabilizer or an antioxidant.

In the shrink label of the present invention, the heat-shrinkable multilayer resin film may be used as a base film, and other layers such as a print layer may be laminated as necessary.

ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the shrink film which uses the multilayer film which is excellent in heat resistance, oil resistance, the cut property in a perforation, and an external appearance, and does not peel at the time of mounting | wearing can be provided.
