Description

  The present invention relates to a food packaging paper coated with a coating agent in order to prevent the moisture and oil of the food from seeping out to the outer surface and to prevent the food containing moisture from adhering to the packaging paper.

Currently, fast food wrapping paper such as hamburgers prevents food moisture and oil from leaching to the outside, prevents moisture-containing food from adhering to the wrapping paper (release), and heat-sealed bags. Most of the paper is polyethylene-laminated paper laminated with polyethylene on the surface that comes into direct contact with food (see Patent Document 1 below). However, when polyethylene, which is significantly inferior in moisture permeability and air permeability as compared with paper, is laminated, vapor generated from hot food tends to condense on the polyethylene surface, and the food tends to be sticky.

  In addition, fast food may be heated again in a microwave oven, and polyethylene laminated paper may not be able to open the wrapping paper easily due to the softening and fusion of polyethylene due to the heat and oil of steam generated from food. is there.

In addition, since polyethylene laminated paper cannot be disaggregated as waste paper, there is a problem that it is impossible to recycle in a general waste paper recycling line, and only a dedicated recycling line can be processed.
Furthermore, in terms of the environment, plastic films such as polyethylene are mainly made of fossil raw materials such as petroleum, but a large amount of “greenhouse gas” is emitted in their production. The total amount of greenhouse gases emitted during the life cycle of the product, including these packaging materials, is added together, and the total amount obtained is converted into carbon dioxide and displayed on packaging materials, etc. The introduction of “print” is spreading all over the world. In particular, so-called 'disposable' packaging materials represented by fast food packaging have been called out to be particularly obliged to reduce “greenhouse gases”. In particular, efforts such as simplifying packaging and reducing plastic usage are required. It has been. In addition, products with low emissions may improve the consumer image and create new business opportunities.

As a method of imparting water resistance and oil resistance to fast food wrapping paper, there is also a method of coating paper with a water- and oil-repellent agent containing fluorine resin and fluorine, but when incinerating such paper, Various fluorine-containing decomposition products that may affect the environment may be generated. Currently, there is no provision with respect to the water-repellent, oil-repellent containing a fluorine-based resin and fluorine in the Food Sanitation Law, water-repellent, oil-repellent containing a fluorine-based resin and fluorine gives the global environment, the human effect on human health Since the possibility cannot be wiped out, food packaging paper that uses as little fluorocarbon resin as possible is desired.

Furthermore, as a paper that has been given water resistance and oil resistance to the fast food wrapping paper, there is a wax paper in which the paper is impregnated or surface-coated with waxes such as paraffin wax and carnauba wax, particularly steam and oil such as a hamburger. When a food containing a large amount of is packaged, there is a problem in water resistance and oil resistance. Further, depending on the amount of heat of the heated food, the wax may remelt and adhere to the food.

In general, when a water-based coating agent is applied to a thin paper such as a thin paper, the paper swells, and the resin impregnated in the meantime dries to form a film. The processing suitability at the time of cutting or molding may be significantly reduced. As a general method for solving this problem, there is a method of adding a polyhydric alcohol solvent such as glycerin or propylene glycol having high moisture retention as a moisture adjusting agent for paper to the coating agent, but as a fast food wrapping paper containing moisture. When used, there is a possibility that the water resistance of the coating agent is lowered and the ingredients of these humectants adhere to food due to bleeding.

JP-A-9-2540

The present invention has water resistance, oil resistance, curl resistance, and release properties that are indispensable for food packaging without impairing the air permeability and moisture permeability of the paper, and is further heated by a microwave oven or the like. Another object of the present invention is to provide a food wrapping paper that can be easily opened without being fused by the heat of steam or oil generated from the food.

It is highly recyclable and can be recycled using existing waste paper recycling equipment. Further, the use of an aqueous coating agent containing a filler is effective in smoothing the surface and suppressing the tendency of paper to curl. In addition, by forming the coat layer by flexographic printing, it is possible to print the pattern and form the coat layer without moving to another line or place. Compared with conventional polyethylene laminated paper, the equipment Economics such as reduction of investment and maintenance costs, shortening of delivery time, reduction of transportation cost, and reduction of transportation distance can reduce the burden on the environment such as CO ₂ . Inclusion of a filler in the coating agent increases the amount of inorganic materials that are relatively inexpensive, thereby reducing costs and contributing to the reduction of CO ₂ that is inevitably generated in the process of consumption . Currently, there is no clear hygiene standard for paper in the Japanese Food Sanitation Law, so all components are based on the FDA 176.170 positive list (paper, paperboard ingredients-for food contact with oil, moisture) More safe food wrapping paper can be provided.

The food packaging paper of the present invention is formed from one or more (meth) acrylate monomers and one or more vinyl monomers, and has a glass transition point of -10 ° C to 50 ° C. It has a coat layer formed by applying and drying an aqueous varnish containing an acid-containing copolymer as a main component and a filler on a paper having a weight of 19 to 700 g / m ² by flexographic printing.

  Examples of the (meth) acrylate monomer constituting the acid-containing copolymer include butyl acrylate (BA), ethyl acrylate (EA), ethyl methacrylate (EMA), methyl methacrylate (MMA), N-propyl methacrylate, and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). N-hexyl methacrylate (HMA), 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, methacrylic acid (MAA) and the like. Examples of vinyl monomers constituting the acid-containing copolymer include acrylic acid (AA), fumaric acid, itaconic acid, methyl. Examples include acrylate (MA), acrylonitrile, butadiene, styrene, vinyl acetate, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride and the like.

  The acid-containing copolymer used in the present invention is one selected from butyl acrylate (BA), ethyl acrylate (EA), ethyl methacrylate (EMA), methyl acrylate (MA), methyl methacrylate (MMA), and N-propyl methacrylate. The above monomers are contained so as to be 50% by weight or more of the total monomers constituting the acid-containing copolymer, and acrylic acid (AA), fumaric acid, glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), N-hexyl methacrylate (HMA), itaconic acid, One or more kinds of monomers selected from methacrylic acid (MAA) are contained so that the amount of each monomer is 5% by weight or less of the total monomers constituting the acid-containing copolymer, and acrylonitrile, butadiene, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, styrene, vinyl acetate. A polymer obtained by copolymerizing one or more monomers selected from vinyl chloride and vinylidene chloride so that the total amount of monomers constituting the acid-containing copolymer is 50% by weight or less. Moisture permeability, water resistance, oil resistance and release properties are effectively expressed, which is preferable.

  In the present invention, the glass transition point of the acid-containing copolymer needs to be −10 ° C. to 50 ° C. By configuring the acid-containing copolymer so that the glass transition point is -10 ° C to 50 ° C, the water resistance, oil resistance, and release that are essential for food packaging while maintaining the breathability and moisture permeability inherent in paper. It also has sex. Furthermore, even if reheating is performed using a microwave oven or the like, it can be easily opened without being fused by the heat of steam or oil generated from food.

  The method for producing the acid-containing copolymer is not particularly limited, and a general polymerization method such as emulsion polymerization can be used.

  In the present invention, the blending ratio of the acid-containing copolymer contained in the aqueous varnish that forms the coat layer is preferably 10% by weight or more based on the entire aqueous varnish at the time of coating. When it is less than 10% by weight with respect to the entire aqueous varnish at the time of coating, the water resistance and oil resistance of the food packaging paper are likely to be lowered.

In the present invention, the aqueous varnish forming the coating layer contains a filler. Examples of the filler include calcium carbonate, talc, kaolin, mica, aluminum hydroxide, barium sulfate, calcium silicate, calcium sulfate, silica, zinc carbonate, zinc oxide, titanium oxide, dickite, nacrite, halloysite, antigolite, and risardite. , Pyrophyllite, montmorillonite, smectite, bentonite, hectorite, tetrasilic mica, sodium teniolite, muscovite, margarite, vermiculite, phlogopite, xanthophyllite, chlorite, etc. In particular, one or more fillers selected from calcium carbonate, talc, kaolin and mica are preferred. By containing the filler, the problem that curling occurs on the coating side when a conventional aqueous coating agent is applied is solved, and even if a coating layer is formed with an aqueous varnish, the curling resistance is excellent. Moreover, the release property of food and the anti-blocking property when forming a coat layer are also improved.

  In this invention, it is preferable to make it the mixture ratio of the filler contained in the said aqueous varnish which forms a coating layer be 5 to 50 weight% with respect to the whole aqueous varnish at the time of coating. When the amount is less than 5% by weight with respect to the entire aqueous varnish at the time of coating, the curl resistance tends to decrease, and when it exceeds 50% by weight, the viscosity of the aqueous varnish increases and the flexographic printability tends to decrease.

In the present invention, the aqueous varnish forming the coating layer preferably contains a wax. By containing a wax, water resistance and oil resistance are improved. As waxes, vegetable wax (wood wax, carnauba wax), animal wax (bee wax, lanolin), petroleum wax (paraffin wax, microcrystalline wax, petrolatum), polyolefin wax (polyethylene wax, polypropylene wax), polyamide wax , Silicon wax , ethylene acrylic acid wax and the like.

  In the present invention, the aqueous varnish forming the coating layer preferably contains an antifoaming agent. By containing an antifoaming agent, the coating suitability when the coating layer is applied by the flexographic printing method is improved. Examples of the antifoaming agent include hydrophobic silica-based, metal soap-based, amide-based, silicon-based, polyether-based, mineral oil-based, wax-based, acrylic-based, and acetylenic diol-based antifoaming agents.

  In the present invention, the aqueous varnish that forms the coating layer may contain a dispersant. By containing a dispersing agent, the coating suitability at the time of coating a coat layer by a flexographic printing method improves. Dispersants include surfactants (anionic, nonionic, cationic), polycarboxylic acids, naphthalene condensation, aliphatic alcohol sulfates, polyesters, polyethers, vinyl polymers, acetylenic diols, Examples thereof include polyaminoamide-based dispersants.

In the present invention, the aqueous varnish that forms the coat layer may contain a leveling agent. By containing the leveling agent, the coating suitability when the coating layer is applied by the flexographic printing method is improved. Examples of the leveling agent include surfactant-based (anionic, nonionic, cationic), silicon-based , vinyl polymer-based, alcohol alkoxylate-based, and acetylenic diol-based leveling agents.

  In the present invention, the blending ratios of the wax, antifoaming agent, dispersant, and leveling agent contained in the aqueous varnish forming the coating layer are appropriately set according to the desired properties of the coating layer. The wax is preferably 40% by weight or less based on the entire aqueous varnish during coating. If the wax exceeds 40% by weight with respect to the entire aqueous varnish at the time of coating, the air permeability tends to decrease. The antifoaming agent is preferably 3% by weight or less based on the entire aqueous varnish during coating. If the antifoaming agent exceeds 3% by weight with respect to the entire aqueous varnish during coating, pinholes (extraction) are likely to occur during coating. The leveling agent or dispersant is preferably 3% by weight or less based on the entire aqueous varnish during coating. If the leveling agent or dispersant exceeds 3% by weight with respect to the entire aqueous varnish at the time of coating, the water resistance and oil resistance tend to be lowered.

  In the present invention, to the aqueous varnish, a thickener, a defoaming agent, a surface conditioner, a preservative, a pigment, a lubricant, a tackifier, a wetting agent, a water-proofing agent, a crosslinking agent, and the like are added as necessary. You may contain an agent in the range which does not inhibit the effect | action of this invention.

  In the present invention, the constituent component of the aqueous varnish is used as a varnish after being dissolved and dispersed in a solvent such as water or water / ethanol = 10/0 to 5/5.

The paper used as a base material for the food wrapping paper of the present invention needs to have a basis weight of 19 to 700 g / m ² . If the basis weight is less than 19 g / m ² , paper breakage is likely to occur during papermaking and printing (formation of a coat layer), and it is difficult to produce stable food packaging paper. The basis weight of the paper when the food wrapping paper of the present invention is used for a hamburger wrap is preferably 19 to 40 g / m ² . When used for a hamburger wrap, if a paper having a weight exceeding 40 g / m ² is used, problems such as paper return when the hamburger is packaged and a decrease in texture are likely to occur. When the food wrapping paper of the present invention is used as a material such as a carton, a paperboard of 200 to 700 g / m ² is suitable. When the weight is less than 200 g / m ^2, the rigidity after box making is weak, and when it exceeds 700 g / m ² , the moldability is remarkably lowered. The structure of the paper used as the substrate is not particularly limited, and paper normally used for food packaging paper can be used. Since the food wrapping paper of the present invention is paper used for food, it is necessary to use paper that satisfies the standards of the Food Sanitation Law. Specifically, the PCB content in the material is 5 ppm or less (Cyclic erosion No. 442), there is no elution of fluorescent substances (Cyclic erosion No. 244), and the elution amount of heavy metals (as lead) is 1 ppm or less. It is.

In the present invention, it is safer that all the constituents are described in the positive list of FDA 176.170, and further, the FDA usage conditions (food type, temperature limit) are not limited. A high food packaging paper can be provided, which is preferable.

In the present invention, the coat layer is formed by applying and drying the aqueous varnish by a flexographic printing method. By forming the coat layer by flexographic printing method, if you have a flexographic printing device, you can print the pattern and form the coat layer without moving to another line or place like conventional polyethylene laminated paper It can be carried out. Furthermore, if there is an equipment that can be reversed and perform simultaneous double-sided flexographic printing, it is possible to simultaneously form a pattern and a coat layer in one pass . Therefore, it is possible to use conventional flexographic printing equipment and reduce costs such as capital investment, maintenance and management costs, shortened delivery time, and transportation costs compared to polyethylene laminated paper that requires laminating equipment. In addition, since the transport distance is reduced, the generation of CO _{2 and the} like is reduced, and the burden on the environment can be reduced.

In the present invention, the coating and drying conditions of the coating layer by the flexographic printing method can be appropriately set depending on the components of the aqueous varnish, etc., but the dry coating weight of the coating layer is preferably ³ to 15 g / m ² . When the dry coating weight is less than 3 g / m ² , oil resistance and water resistance are remarkably lowered. ^{On the other hand} , if it exceeds 15 g / m ² , in terms of function, problems such as air permeability, reduced paper texture, and flexographic printing suitability such as wrinkles on the paper and inability to coat uniformly are likely to occur. In addition, a coating layer may apply by one application | coating of aqueous varnish, and may apply it several times. The coat layer may be formed on only one side of the paper or on both sides. A pattern or the like may be printed on the surface of the paper. Since the food wrapping paper of the present invention forms the coat layer by the flexographic printing method, as described above, it is more advantageous when there is pattern printing. Therefore, the figure side printing is performed by the flexographic printing method. preferable. As the pattern printing ink, those generally used can be used.
