Description

The present invention relates to a packaging material provided with a laminate strength adjusting layer. The present invention also relates to a bag and a packaging body formed of a packaging material provided with a laminated strength adjusting layer.

Conventionally, many of the contents are contained in a container made of a plastic laminate and are on the market. In the container, the unsealed portion in which the laminated bodies are not joined together constitutes the accommodating portion in which the contents are accommodated. In addition, the sealing portion where the laminated bodies are joined seals the accommodating portion. The contents are contained in a container, for example, in a frozen state. The contents are heated in a microwave oven or the like while being contained in a container.

By the way, when the contents contained in the sealed container are heated by using a microwave oven, the water contained in the contents evaporates with the heating and the pressure in the containing portion increases. If the pressure in the housing increases, the container may burst and the contents may scatter and stain the inside of the microwave oven. In consideration of such a problem, for example, Patent Document 1 proposes to provide a mechanism for automatically communicating the accommodating portion and the outside when the pressure of the accommodating portion increases and allowing the steam in the accommodating portion to escape to the outside. ing. The mechanism disclosed in Cited Document 1 includes a laminate strength adjusting layer located between the base material layer and the thermoplastic resin layer. The laminate strength adjusting layer is a layer having a property of decreasing strength under a high environmental temperature. By providing such a layer, steam can be released to the outside of the container through the portion of the laminate strength adjusting layer that has been peeled off by heat. In Cited Document 1, such a laminate strength adjusting layer is arranged at a portion where the end seal portion and the gassho seal portion intersect, for example, in a pillow type container.

The test piece 80 is a rectangular film having a long side and a short side. In the present application, the length L1 of the long side of the test piece 80 is 150 mm, and the length L2 of the short side is 15 mm. Examples of the loop stiffness measuring instrument 85 include No. 1 manufactured by Toyo Seiki Co., Ltd. 581 Loop STIFFNESS TESTER DA type can be used.

The second chuck 862 may be connected to the first chuck 861 via a hinge mechanism.

When the film to be measured, such as a biaxially stretched plastic film, a vapor-deposited film, or a laminated film, is available in a state before the film is processed into a packaged product, the test piece 80 is obtained by cutting the film to be measured. It may be made. Further, the test piece 80 may be produced by cutting a packaged product produced from the packaging material 30 such as a bag and obtaining a target film. FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of a method of preparing a test piece 80 from samples S1A to S2B obtained by cutting the packaging material 30 constituting the front surface 11 or the back surface 12 of the bag 10. When measuring the loop stiffness in the flow direction, as indicated by reference numeral S1A or S2A in FIG. 4, the packaging material 30 of the bag 10 is cut so that the long side direction of the sample coincides with the flow direction, and then biaxially stretched.

When measuring the loop stiffness in the vertical direction, as shown by reference numeral S1B or S2B in FIG. 4, the packaging material 30 of the bag 10 is cut so that the long side directions of the sample coincide with the vertical direction, and then biaxially stretched. Obtain a target film, such as a plastic film, from a sample.

A method of measuring the loop stiffness of the test piece 80 using the loop stiffness measuring device 85 will be described. First, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the test piece 80 is placed on the first chuck 861 of the pair of chuck portions 86 arranged at intervals L3. In the present application, the interval L3 is set so that the length of the loop portion 81 (hereinafter, also referred to as the loop length) described later is 60 mm. The test piece 80 includes an inner surface 80x located on the side of the first chuck 861 and an outer surface 80y located on the opposite side of the inner surface 80x. When the test piece 80 is made of the packaging material 30, the inner surface 80x and the outer surface 80y of the test piece 80 correspond to the inner surface 32 and the outer surface 31 of the packaging material 30. When the loop portion 81 described later is formed on the test piece 80, the inner surface 80x is located inside the loop portion 81, and the outer surface 80y is located outside the loop portion 81. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 15, the second chuck 862 is arranged on the test piece 80 so as to grip the end portion of the test piece 80 in the long side direction with the first chuck 861.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 16, at least one of the pair of chuck portions 86 is slid on the support member 87 in the direction in which the distance between the pair of chuck portions 86 is reduced. As a result, the loop portion 81 can be formed on the test piece 80. The test piece 80 shown in FIG. 16 has a loop portion 81, a pair of intermediate portions 82, and a pair of fixing portions 83. The pair of fixing portions 83 are portions of the test piece 80 that are gripped by the pair of chuck portions 86. The pair of intermediate portions 82 are portions of the test piece 80 located between the loop portion 81 and the pair of intermediate portions 82. As shown in FIG. 16, the chuck portion 86 is slid on the support member 87 until the inner surfaces 80x of the pair of intermediate portions 82 come into contact with each other. As a result, the loop portion 81 having a loop length of 60 mm can be formed. The loop length of the loop portion 81 includes the position P1 at which the surface of one second chuck 862 on the loop portion 81 side and the test piece 80 intersect, and the surface of the other second chuck 862 on the loop portion 81 side and the test piece 80. It is the length of the test piece 80 with respect to the position P2 where The above-mentioned interval L3 is a value obtained by adding 2 × t to the length of the loop portion 81 when the thickness of the test piece 80 is ignored. t is the thickness of the second chuck 862 of the chuck portion 86.

After that, as shown in FIG. 17, the posture of the chuck portion 86 is adjusted so that the protruding direction Y of the loop portion 81 with respect to the chuck portion 86 is in the horizontal direction. For example, the posture of the chuck portion 86 supported by the support member 87 is adjusted by moving the support member 87 so that the normal direction of the support member 87 faces the horizontal direction. In the example shown in FIG. 17, the protruding direction Y of the loop portion 81 coincides with the thickness direction of the chuck portion. Further, the load cell 88 is prepared at a position separated from the second chuck 862 by a distance Z1 in the protruding direction Y of the loop portion 81. In the present application, the distance Z1 is set to 50 mm. Subsequently, the load cell 88 is moved toward the loop portion 81 of the test piece 80 at a speed V by the distance Z2 shown in FIG. The distance Z2 is set so that the load cell 88 contacts the loop portion 81 and then the load cell 88 pushes the loop portion 81 toward the chuck portion 86, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18. In the present application, the distance Z2 is set to 40 mm. In this case, the distance Z3 between the load cell 88 and the second chuck 862 of the chuck portion 86 in the state where the load cell 88 is pushing the loop portion 81 toward the chuck portion 86 is 10 mm. The speed V for moving the load cell 88 was set to 3.3 mm / sec.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 18, the load cell 88 is moved to the chuck portion 86 side by a distance Z2, and is added to the load cell 88 from the loop portion 81 in a state where the load cell 88 is pushing the loop portion 81 of the test piece 80. After the load value stabilizes, record the load value. The value of the load thus obtained is adopted as the loop stiffness of the film constituting the test piece 80.

That is all. The value obtained by dividing the breaking strength of the high-stiffness polyester film in the flow direction (MD) by the breaking elongation is preferably 1.8 [MPa /%] or more, more preferably 2.0 [MPa /%] or more. is there.

The breaking strength and breaking elongation of the high stiffness polyester film can be measured according to JIS K7127. As the measuring instrument, a tensile tester STA-1150 manufactured by Orientec can be used. As the test piece, a high-stiffness polyester film cut out into a rectangular film having a width of 15 mm and a length of 150 mm can be used. The distance at the start of measurement between the pair of chucks holding the test piece is 100 mm, and the tensile speed is 300 mm / min. The length of the test piece can be adjusted as long as the test piece can be gripped by a pair of chucks.

In the packaging material 30 including the high-stiffness polyester film, the high-stiffness polyester film may be provided with a thin-film deposition layer. In this case, the high-stiffness polyester film provided with the thin-film deposition layer may have the same mechanical properties as the single high-stiffness polyester film. For example, a high-stiffness polyester film provided with a thin-film deposition layer may have a loop stiffness of 0.0017 N or more in at least one direction.

In the process of producing a high-stiffness polyester film, for example, first, a plastic film obtained by melting and molding polyester is 3 to 4.5 times at 90 ° C. to 145 ° C. in the flow direction and the vertical direction, respectively. The first stretching step is carried out. Subsequently, a second stretching step of stretching the plastic film 1.1 to 3.0 times at 100 ° C. to 145 ° C. in the flow direction and the vertical direction is carried out. Then, heat fixing is performed at a temperature of 190 ° C. to 220 ° C. Subsequently, in the flow direction and the vertical direction, a relaxation treatment (a treatment for reducing the film width) of about 0.2% to 2.5% is carried out at a temperature of 100 ° C. to 190 ° C. By adjusting the stretching ratio, stretching temperature, heat fixing temperature, and relaxation treatment rate in these steps, a high-stiffness polyester film having the above-mentioned mechanical properties can be obtained.

At least one of the first biaxially stretched plastic film 41 and the second biaxially stretched plastic film 42 may be a stretched plastic film containing polyamide as a main component. In the following description, a biaxially stretched plastic film containing polyamide as a main component is also referred to as a biaxially stretched polyamide film. For example, one of the first biaxially stretched plastic film 41 and the second biaxially stretched plastic film 42 may be a biaxially stretched polyamide film, and the other may be a biaxially stretched polyester film.

The biaxially stretched polyamide film contains, for example, 51% by mass or more of polyamide. Examples of polyamide-based examples include aliphatic polyamides and aromatic polyamides. Examples of the aliphatic polyamide include nylon such as nylon-6, nylon-6,6, and a copolymer of nylon 6 and nylon 6,6, and examples of the aromatic polyamide include polymethoxylen adipamide (polymethoxylen adipamide). MXD6) and the like. When the packaging material 30 includes a biaxially stretched polyamide film, the piercing strength of the packaging material 30 can be increased.

The biaxially stretched polyamide film may be composed of a single layer or may be composed of a plurality of layers. When the biaxially stretched polyamide film contains a plurality of layers, the biaxially stretched polyamide film is, for example, a co-extruded film produced by co-extrusion. The co-press film includes, for example, a first layer made of polyester such as PET, a second layer made of polyamide such as nylon, and a third layer made of polyester such as PET, which are laminated in order. When the mass of the second layer made of polyamide such as nylon is 51% or more of the mass of the entire co-pressed film, it can be said that the main component of the co-pressed film is polyamide.

The thickness of the biaxially stretched polyamide film is preferably 12 μm or more, more preferably 15 μm or more. The thickness of the biaxially stretched polyamide film is preferably 25 μm or less, more preferably 20 μm or less.

An example of the combination of the first biaxially stretched plastic film 41 and the second biaxially stretched plastic film 42 in the present embodiment is as follows.

Examples of the biaxially stretched polyester film include the above-mentioned biaxially stretched PET film, biaxially stretched PBT film, and high stiffness polyester film. Detailed specific examples of the combinations of Examples 1, 2 and 3 shown in Table 1 are shown in Table 2, Table 3 and Table 4, respectively.

When the biaxially stretched plastic films 41 and 42 contain PET, the PET may contain biomass-derived PET. In this case, the biaxially stretched plastic films 41 and 42 may be composed only of PET derived from biomass. Alternatively, the biaxially stretched plastic films 41 and 42 may be composed of PET derived from biomass and PET derived from fossil fuel. Since the biaxially stretched plastic films 41 and 42 contain PET derived from biomass, the amount of PET derived from fossil fuel can be reduced as compared with the conventional case, so that the amount of carbon dioxide emission can be reduced and the environmental load can be reduced. Can be reduced. The biomass-derived PET has ethylene glycol derived from biomass as a diol unit and terephthalic acid derived from fossil fuel as a dicarboxylic acid unit. The fossil fuel-derived PET has ethylene glycol derived from fossil fuel as a diol unit and terephthalic acid derived from fossil fuel as a dicarboxylic acid unit.

Since carbon dioxide in the atmosphere contains C14 at a fixed ratio (105.5 pMC), the C14 content in plants that grow by taking in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, for example, corn, is also about 105.5 pMC. It is known. It is also known that fossil fuels contain almost no C14. Therefore, the proportion of biomass-derived carbon can be calculated by measuring the proportion of C14 contained in all carbon atoms in PET. In the present invention, the "biomass degree" indicates the weight ratio of the biomass-derived component. Taking PET as an example, PET is obtained by polymerizing ethylene glycol containing a 2-carbon atom and terephthalic acid containing an 8-carbon atom at a molar ratio of 1: 1. When only biomass-derived ethylene glycol is used as PET ethylene glycol, the weight ratio of the biomass-derived component in PET is 31.25%, so that the theoretical value of the biomass degree of PET is 31.25%. Specifically, the mass of PET is 192, of which the mass derived from biomass-derived ethylene glycol is 60, so 60 ÷ 192 × 100 = 31.25. Further, the weight ratio of the biomass-derived component in the fossil fuel-derived PET is 0%, and the biomass degree of the fossil fuel-derived PET is 0%. In the present invention, the biomass degree of the biaxially stretched plastic films 41 and 42 is preferably 5.0% or more, and more preferably 10.0% or more. Further, the biomass degree of the biaxially stretched plastic films 41 and 42 is preferably 30.0% or less.

Biomass-derived ethylene glycol is made from ethanol (biomass ethanol) produced from biomass as a raw material. For example, biomass-derived ethylene glycol can be obtained from biomass ethanol by a method of producing ethylene glycol via ethylene oxide by a conventionally known method. Examples of raw materials for biomass ethanol include corn, sugar cane, beet, and manioc. Further, commercially available biomass ethylene glycol may be used, and for example, biomass ethylene glycol commercially available from India Glycol Co., Ltd. can be preferably used. Biomass ethylene glycol manufactured by India Glycol Co., Ltd. is made from sugar cane molasses.

Next, the adhesive layer 43 located between the first biaxially stretched plastic film 41 and the second biaxially stretched plastic film 42 in the packaging material 30 shown in FIGS. 5 to 9 will be described. The adhesive layer 43 is an adhesive layer or an adhesive resin layer. Hereinafter, the adhesive layer and the adhesive resin layer will be described.

The adhesive layer can be formed by a conventionally known method, for example, a dry laminating method. When the two layers are bonded by the dry laminating method, the adhesive layer is formed by applying an adhesive to the surface of the layer on the side to be laminated and drying. Examples of the adhesive to be applied include one-component or two-component curable or non-curable vinyl type, (meth) acrylic type, polyamide type, polyester type, polyether type, polyurethane type, epoxy type, and rubber. Adhesives such as solvent type, water-based type, or emulsion type such as system and others can be used. As the two-component curable adhesive, a cured product of a polyol and an isocyanate compound can be used. As the coating method of the above-mentioned adhesive for laminating, for example, a direct gravure roll coating method, a gravure roll coating method, a kiss coating method, a reverse roll coating method, a fonten method, a transfer roll coating method, or other methods can be applied. .. The dried adhesive layer has a thickness of, for example, 1 μm or more and 10 μm or less, preferably 2 μm or more and 5 μm or less.

The adhesive layer may contain biomass-derived components. For example, when the adhesive layer contains a cured product of a polyol and an isocyanate compound, at least one of the polyol or the isocyanate compound may contain a biomass-derived component. Thereby, the biomass degree of the packaging material 30 can be further improved.

The adhesive resin layer contains a thermoplastic resin. The adhesive resin layer can be formed by a conventionally known method, for example, a melt extrusion laminating method or a sand laminating method. As the thermoplastic resin that can be used for the adhesive resin layer, a polyethylene resin, a polypropylene resin, a cyclic polyolefin resin, or a copolymer resin containing these resins as a main component, a modified resin, or a mixture can be used. .. Examples of the polyolefin-based resin include low-density polyethylene (LDPE), medium-density polyethylene (MDPE), high-density polyethylene (HDPE), linear (linear) low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), polypropylene (PP), and metallocene catalyst. Ethylene-α / olefin copolymer polymerized using, random or block copolymer of ethylene / polypropylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer (EAA), ethylene / Ethyl acrylate copolymer (EEA), ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer (EMAA), ethylene-methyl methacrylate copolymer (EMMA), ethylene-maleic acid copolymer, ionomer resin, and adhesion between layers. In order to improve the above, it is possible to use an acid-modified polyolefin resin obtained by modifying the above-mentioned polypropylene-based resin with an unsaturated carboxylic acid such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid, maleic anhydride, fumaric acid, and itaconic acid. it can. Further, as the polyolefin resin, an unsaturated carboxylic acid, an unsaturated carboxylic acid anhydride, a resin obtained by graft-polymerizing or copolymerizing an ester monomer and the like can be used. These materials can be used alone or in combination of two or more. As the cyclic polyolefin resin, for example, cyclic polyolefins such as ethylene-propylene copolymer, polymethylpentene, polybutene, and polynorbonene can be used. These resins can be used alone or in combination of two or more. The adhesive resin layer has a thickness of, for example, 5 μm or more and 50 μm or less, preferably 10 μm or more and 30 μm or less.

As the polyethylene-based resin described above, a resin using biomass-derived ethylene as a monomer unit may be used. Thereby, the biomass degree of the packaging material 30 can be further improved.

Next, the biaxially stretched plastic film 44 of the packaging material 30 shown in FIGS. 10 to 12 will be described in detail. As the biaxially stretched plastic film 44, either the above-mentioned first biaxially stretched plastic film 41 or the biaxially stretched plastic film exemplified as the second biaxially stretched plastic film 42 can be used. For example, the biaxially stretched plastic film 44 may be the above-mentioned biaxially stretched polyester film containing polyester as a main component. Examples of the biaxially stretched polyester film include the above-mentioned biaxially stretched PET film, biaxially stretched PBT film, and high stiffness polyester film. Further, the biaxially stretched plastic film 44 may be a biaxially stretched polyamide film containing polyamide as a main component.

When the biaxially stretched plastic film 44 contains PET, the PET may contain biomass-derived PET as in the case of the first biaxially stretched plastic film 41 or the second biaxially stretched plastic film 42. ..

Next, the pattern layer 45 of the packaging material 30 shown in FIGS. 5 to 12 will be described. The pattern layer 45 is a layer provided on the packaging material 30 in order to show information on the contents and the container to a container such as a bag 10 and to give an aesthetic impression. The pattern layer 45 expresses characters, numbers, symbols, figures, patterns, and the like. As a material constituting the pattern layer 45, an ink for gravure printing or an ink for flexographic printing can be used. As a specific example of the ink for gravure printing, a finale manufactured by DIC Graphics Corporation can be mentioned.

(Sealant layer)
Next, the sealant layer 50 will be described. The sealant layer 50 has a heat-sealing property and is a layer constituting the inner surface 32 of the packaging material 30. The sealant layer 50 contains a thermoplastic resin. Examples of the thermoplastic resin include α-olefin copolymer and polyethylene. The α-olefin copolymer is, for example, linear low density polyethylene. Examples of polyethylene include low density polyethylene, medium density polyethylene, and high density polyethylene.

The low-density polyethylene, density of 0.910 g / cm ³ or more and 0.925 g / cm ³ or less of polyethylene. The medium density polyethylene is polyethylene having a density of 0.926 g / cm ³ or more and 0.940 g / cm ³ or less. The high-density polyethylene is polyethylene having a density of 0.941 g / cm ³ or more and 0.965 g / cm ³ or less. Low-density polyethylene can be obtained, for example, by polymerizing ethylene at a high pressure of 1000 atm or more and less than 2000 atm. Medium density polyethylene and high density polyethylene are obtained, for example, by polymerizing ethylene at medium pressure or low pressure of 1 atm or more and less than 1000 atm.

The medium-density polyethylene and the high-density polyethylene may partially contain a copolymer of ethylene and α-olefin. Further, even when ethylene is polymerized at medium pressure or low pressure, medium-density or low-density polyethylene can be produced when a copolymer of ethylene and α-olefin is contained. Such polyethylene is referred to as the above-mentioned linear low-density polyethylene. The linear low-density polyethylene is obtained by copolymerizing an α-olefin with a linear polymer obtained by polymerizing ethylene at medium pressure or low pressure to introduce a short chain branch. Examples of α-olefins include 1-butene (C ₄ ), 1-hexene (C ₆ ), 4-methylpentene (C ₆ ), 1-octene (C ₈ ) and the like, and in particular 1-. Butene (C ₄ ) can be preferably used. The density of the linear low-density polyethylene is, for example, 0.915 g / cm ³ or more and 0.945 g / cm ³ or less.

The thickness of the sealant layer 50 is preferably 10 μm or more. The thickness of the sealant layer 50 may be, for example, 200 μm or less, 150 μm or less, or 100 μm or less.

As shown in FIGS. 5, 8, 9 and 10, the sealant layer 50 is formed by applying a sealant film 51 previously formed by a method such as inflation to the base material 40 via an adhesive layer 61 or the like. It may be a layer obtained by laminating. Further, as shown in FIGS. 6, 7, 11 and 12, the sealant layer 50 is a layer obtained by coating a base material 40 or the like with a material constituting the sealant layer 50 by an extrusion coating method. It may be.

Preferably, the sealant layer 50 has low breaking elongation or low breaking strength at the heating temperature of the microwave oven. As a result, after the laminate strength adjusting layer 35 is peeled off from the sealant layer 50, the portion of the sealant layer 50 located in the first region 33 is likely to break. Therefore, it is possible to easily release the vapor to the outside of the bag 10 through the fractured portion of the sealant layer 50.

Hereinafter, preferable characteristics of the sealant film 51 when the sealant layer 50 is made of the sealant film 51 will be described.

The sealant film 51 preferably has a breaking elongation of 60% or more and 100% or less at 80 ° C. in one direction, for example, in the flow direction. When the breaking elongation of the sealant film 51 at 80 ° C. is 100% or less, the sealant layer 50 can be appropriately broken at at least a part of the first region 33 of the packaging material 30 at the heating temperature of the microwave oven. Further, when the breaking elongation of the sealant film 51 at 80 ° C. is 60% or more, the sealing strength at the sealing portion can be ensured. In addition, it is possible to prevent the sealant layer 50 from breaking in the second region 34.

Further, the sealant film 51 preferably has a breaking elongation of 40% or more and 70% or less at 90 ° C. in one direction, for example, in the flow direction.

Further, the sealant film 51 has a breaking strength of 5N or more and 10N or less at 80 ° C. in one direction, for example, in the flow direction. When the breaking strength of the sealant film 51 at 80 ° C. is 10 N or less, the sealant layer 50 can be appropriately broken at at least a part of the first region 33 of the packaging material 30 at the heating temperature of the microwave oven. Further, when the breaking strength of the sealant film 51 at 80 ° C. is 5 N or more, it is possible to prevent the sealant layer 50 from breaking in the second region 34.

The breaking elongation and breaking strength of the sealant film 51 can be measured according to JIS K7127. As a measuring instrument, No. 1 manufactured by Toyo Seiki Co., Ltd. A 260 strograph VG1F can be used. As the test piece, a sealant film 51 cut out into a rectangular film having a width of 15 mm and a length of 150 mm can be used. The distance at the start of measurement between the pair of chucks holding the test piece is 50 mm, and the tensile speed is 200 mm / min. The length of the test piece can be adjusted as long as the test piece can be gripped by a pair of chucks.

In the present application, unless otherwise specified, the breaking strength and breaking elongation of the sealant film 51 at high temperature are such that the test piece is held in an environment of 80 ° C. and 5% relative humidity for 1 minute, and then the temperature is 80 ° C. and the relative humidity is 5%. Measure in the environment of. The breaking strength and breaking elongation of the sealant film 51 at room temperature are measured in an environment of a temperature of 25 ° C. and a relative humidity of 50% after holding the test piece in an environment of a temperature of 25 ° C. and a relative humidity of 50% for 1 minute.

According to new findings from the research and development of the inventors, in multiple types of sealant films containing the same material and having the same density, MFR, melting point, etc., the factories where the sealant film materials are manufactured are different. In this case, a phenomenon was observed in which the elongation at the breaking point of the sealant film at the heating temperature of a microwave oven such as 80 ° C. was different. According to the consideration of the inventors, it is considered that the ratio of the heat of fusion of the sealant film, which is one of the characteristics of the material, is different in the heating temperature of the microwave oven due to the difference in the production conditions of the sealant film. The ratio of the heat of fusion of the sealant film is measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and the heating temperature of the microwave oven (for example, 80 ° C., 90 ° C., 100 ° C.) with respect to the total heat of fusion (50 ° C. to 120 ° C.) of the material. ) Can be expressed as the ratio of the amount of heat of fusion. A large proportion of the heat of fusion of the sealant film at the heating temperature of the microwave oven means that the amount of heat of melting in the sealant film is relatively large at the heating temperature of the microwave oven. The present inventors have confirmed that the sealant film having a particularly low breaking point elongation in the flow direction at the heating temperature of the microwave oven has a large proportion of the heat of fusion of the sealant film.

The sealant layer 50 may or may not contain the biomass-derived component. When the sealant layer 50 is formed from a material containing a biomass-derived component, the sealant layer 50 can be formed by using the following biomass polyolefin. When the sealant layer 50 is formed of a material that does not contain biomass-derived components, the sealant layer 50 can be formed by using a conventionally known fossil fuel-derived thermoplastic resin.

Biomass polyolefin is a polymer of a monomer containing an olefin such as ethylene derived from biomass. Since a biomass-derived olefin is used as the raw material monomer, the polymerized polyolefin is derived from biomass. The raw material monomer of polyolefin does not have to contain 100% by mass of biomass-derived olefin.

For example, biomass-derived ethylene can be produced using biomass-derived ethanol as a raw material. In particular, it is preferable to use fermented ethanol derived from biomass obtained from plant raw materials. The plant material is not particularly limited, and conventionally known plants can be used. For example, corn, sugar cane, beet, and manioc can be mentioned.

Fermented ethanol derived from biomass refers to ethanol that has been purified after being produced by contacting a culture solution containing a carbon source obtained from a plant material with a microorganism that produces ethanol or a product derived from a crushed product thereof. Conventionally known methods such as distillation, membrane separation, and extraction can be applied to the purification of ethanol from the culture broth. For example, a method of adding benzene, cyclohexane or the like and azeotropically boiling the mixture, or removing water by membrane separation or the like can be mentioned.

The monomer that is the raw material of the biomass polyolefin may further contain a fossil fuel-derived ethylene monomer and / or a fossil fuel-derived α-olefin monomer, or may further contain a biomass-derived α-olefin monomer.

The above-mentioned α-olefin has no particular limitation on the number of carbon atoms, but usually one having 3 to 20 carbon atoms can be used, and it is preferably butylene, hexene, or octene. This is because butylene, hexene, or octene can be produced by polymerization of ethylene, which is a raw material derived from biomass. Further, by including such an α-olefin, the polymerized polyolefin has an alkyl group as a branched structure, so that it can be made more flexible than a simple linear one.

As the biomass polyolefin, polyethylene or a copolymer of ethylene and α-olefin may be used alone, or two or more kinds thereof may be mixed and used. In particular, the biomass polyolefin is preferably polyethylene. This is because by using ethylene, which is a raw material derived from biomass, it is theoretically possible to produce with 100% biomass-derived components.

The biomass polyolefin may contain two or more kinds of biomass polyolefins having different biomass degrees, and the biomass degree of the entire polyolefin resin layer may be within the range described later.

Biomass polyolefin, preferably 0.91 g / cm ³ or more 0.93 g / cm ³ or less, more preferably 0.912 g / cm ³ or more 0.928 g / cm ³ or less, more preferably 0.915 g / cm ³ or more 0 It has a density of .925 g / cm ³ or less. The density of the biomass polyolefin is a value measured according to the method specified in the method A of JIS K7112-1980 after performing the annealing described in JIS K6760-1980. When the density of the biomass polyolefin is 0.91 g / cm ³ or more, the rigidity of the polyolefin resin layer containing the biomass polyolefin can be increased, and it can be suitably used as the inner layer of the packaged product. Further, when the density of the biomass polyolefin is 0.93 g / cm ³ or less, the transparency and mechanical strength of the polyolefin resin layer containing the biomass polyolefin can be enhanced, and it can be suitably used as the inner layer of the packaged product.

Biomass polyolefin has a melt flow of 0.1 g / 10 minutes or more and 10 g / 10 minutes or less, preferably 0.2 g / 10 minutes or more and 9 g / 10 minutes or less, and more preferably 1 g / 10 minutes or more and 8.5 g / 10 minutes or less. It has a rate (MFR). The melt flow rate is a value measured by the method A under the conditions of a temperature of 190 ° C. and a load of 21.18 N in the method specified in JIS K7210-1995. When the MFR of the biomass polyolefin is 0.1 g / 10 minutes or more, the extrusion load during the molding process can be reduced. Further, when the MFR of the biomass polyolefin is 10 g / 10 minutes or less, the mechanical strength of the polyolefin resin layer containing the biomass polyolefin can be increased.

Suitable biomass polyolefins include low-density polyethylene derived from biomass manufactured by Braskem (trade name: SBC818, density: 0.918 g / cm ³ , MFR: 8.1 g / 10 minutes, biomass degree 95%). Low-density polyethylene derived from biomass manufactured by Braskem (trade name: SPB681, density: 0.922 g / cm ³ , MFR: 3.8 g / 10 minutes, biomass degree 95%), linear linear derived from biomass manufactured by Braskem. Examples thereof include low density polyethylene (trade name: SLL118, density: 0.916 g / cm ³ , MFR: 1.0 g / 10 minutes, biomass degree 87%).

Next, the above-mentioned adhesive layer 61 and anchor coat layer 62, which are layers used for laminating the sealant layer 50, will be described.

The adhesive layer 61 can be formed by a conventionally known method, for example, a dry laminating method, similarly to the adhesive layer of the adhesive layer 43 described above. As the adhesive of the adhesive layer 61, those exemplified in the adhesive layer of the adhesive layer 43 described above can be used.

The anchor coat layer 62 is a layer for enhancing the adhesion between the base material 40 and the sealant layer 50. As the resin constituting the anchor coat layer 62, a vinyl-modified resin, an epoxy resin, a urethane resin, a polyester resin, or the like can be used.

(Laminate strength adjustment layer)
Next, the laminate strength adjusting layer 35 will be described. The laminate strength adjusting layer 35 is a layer containing a resin and softened by heating. The laminate strength adjusting layer 35 can be formed by using a resin material having a melting point of 60 to 110 ° C.

Hereinafter, the resin material constituting the laminate strength adjusting layer 35 will be described. The laminate strength adjusting layer 35 can be formed by using, for example, a resin containing polyamide, cellulose, and an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin. Further, the laminate strength adjusting layer 35 can also be formed by using, for example, a resin containing polyamide, cellulose, and polyolefin wax. Cellulose is, for example, nitrified cotton. The polyolefin wax is, for example, polyethylene wax. As the resin containing polyamide, nitrocellulose and polyethylene wax, MWOP varnish (softening point: 105 ° C.) manufactured by DIC Graphics Corporation can be used.

The thickness of the laminate strength adjusting layer 35 is preferably 1 μm or more and 5 μm or less. If the thickness of the laminate strength adjusting layer 35 is 1 μm or more, breakage can occur between the laminate strength adjusting layer 35 and the sealant layer 50 when heated in a microwave oven. If the thickness of the laminate strength adjusting layer 35 is too large, depending on the pattern of the laminate strength adjusting layer, when the film-shaped packaging material 30 is wound in a roll shape, a part of the film-like packaging material 30 rises and the packaging material of that portion stretches. However, if the thickness of the laminate strength adjusting layer 35 is 5 μm or less, the elongation of such a packaging material 30 can be suppressed.

(Other layers)
The packaging material 30 may include a thin-film deposition layer located on the surface of the first biaxially stretched plastic film 41 or the second biaxially stretched plastic film 42. Further, the packaging material 30 may be further provided with a transparent gas barrier coating film located on the surface of the vapor deposition layer.

The thin-film deposition layer is a layer provided on the packaging material 30 in order to enhance the gas barrier property of the packaging material 30. The thin-film deposition layer is a transparent thin-film deposition layer formed of a transparent inorganic substance such as aluminum oxide (aluminum oxide) or silicon oxide. Two or more thin-film deposition layers 37 may be provided. When two or more thin-film deposition layers 37 are provided, they may have the same composition or different compositions.

Examples of the method for forming the vapor deposition layer include a physical vapor deposition method (PVD method) such as a vacuum vapor deposition method, a sputtering method, and an ion plating method, or a plasma chemical vapor deposition method and thermochemistry. Examples thereof include a chemical vapor deposition method (Chemical Vapor Deposition method, CVD method) such as a vapor phase growth method and a photochemical vapor deposition method. Specifically, a thin-film deposition film film forming apparatus can be used to form a thin-film deposition layer on the film-forming roller. The thickness of the thin-film deposition layer is, for example, 20 Å or more and 200 Å, preferably 30 Å or more and 150 Å, and more preferably 50 Å or more and 120 Å or less. The thickness of the thin-film deposition layer can be measured by the fundamental parameter method using, for example, a fluorescent X-ray analyzer (trade name: RIX2000 type, manufactured by Rigaku Co., Ltd.).

The gas barrier coating film is a layer that functions as a layer that suppresses the permeation of oxygen gas, water vapor, and the like. The gas barrier coating film has a general formula of R ¹ _n M (OR ² ) _m (however, in the formula, R ¹ and R ² represent organic groups having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, M represents a metal atom, and n. Represents an integer of 0 or more, m represents an integer of 1 or more, and n + m represents the valence of M), and at least one or more alkoxides represented by the above-mentioned polyvinyl alcohol system.

Manufacturing Method of Packaging Material Next, an example of a manufacturing method of the packaging material 30 will be described.

First, the above-mentioned base material 40 is prepared.
In the examples shown in FIGS. 5 to 9, by using a laminating method such as a dry laminating method or a sand laminating method, the first biaxially stretched plastic film 41 and the second biaxially stretched plastic are interposed via the adhesive layer 43. The film 42 is laminated. Thereby, the base material 40 can be obtained. When the pattern layer 45 is located between the first biaxially stretched plastic film 41 and the second biaxially stretched plastic film 42, the first biaxially stretched plastic film 41 or the second is used before the laminating step. The pattern layer 45 is provided on the biaxially stretched plastic film 42 of the above.
In the examples shown in FIGS. 10 to 12, a biaxially stretched plastic film 44 that functions as a base material 40 is prepared.

Subsequently, after forming the pattern layer 45 on the inner surface of the base material 40 as needed, the laminate strength adjusting layer 35 is partially formed on the inner surface of the base material 40 or the inner surface of the pattern layer 45. For example, while transporting the base material 40 in the flow direction, a region of the base material 40 that overlaps the portion where the first end seal portion 13 and the gassho seal portion 15 intersect, and the second end seal portion 14 and the gassho. The material constituting the laminate strength adjusting layer 35 is applied to the region overlapping the portion where the seal portion 15 intersects. The flow direction of the base material 40 corresponds to the first direction D1 shown in FIG.

Subsequently, the sealant layer 50 is laminated on the base material 40 on which the laminate strength adjusting layer 35 is partially provided. For example, the base material 40 and the sealant film 51 are laminated via the adhesive layer 61 by the dry laminating method. Alternatively, the base material 40 is coated with the material constituting the sealant layer 50 by an extrusion coating method. The anchor coat layer 62 described above may be formed on the base material 40 prior to coating. In this way, the packaging material 30 including at least the base material 40, the laminate strength adjusting layer 35, and the sealant layer 50 can be obtained in this order from the outer surface 31 side to the inner surface 32 side.

Characteristics of Packaging Material Next, the characteristics of the packaging material 30 will be described. Specifically, the breaking elongation, breaking strength and laminating strength of the packaging material 30 will be described. First, the environment for measuring the breaking elongation, the breaking strength and the laminating strength, and the measuring method will be described.

In the following description, the breaking elongation in the first region 33 of the packaging material 30 is also referred to as a first breaking elongation, and the breaking elongation in the second region 34 of the packaging material 30 is also referred to as a second breaking elongation. Of the first elongation at break and the second elongation at break, after holding the test piece of the packaging material 30 in an environment having a temperature of 80 ° C. and a relative humidity of 5% for 1 minute, an environment having a temperature of 80 ° C. and a relative humidity of 5%. The breaking elongations obtained by the above-mentioned measurements are also referred to as high-temperature first breaking elongation and high-temperature second breaking elongation, respectively.

Further, in the following description, the breaking strength of the packaging material 30 in the first region 33 is also referred to as a first breaking strength, and the breaking strength of the packaging material 30 in the second region 34 is also referred to as a second breaking strength. Of the first breaking strength and the second breaking strength, the test piece of the packaging material 30 was held in an environment of a temperature of 80 ° C. and a relative humidity of 5% for 1 minute, and then measured in an environment of a temperature of 80 ° C. and a relative humidity of 5%. The breaking strengths obtained by the above are also referred to as high-temperature first breaking strength and high-temperature second breaking strength, respectively. Of the first breaking strength and the second breaking strength, the test piece of the packaging material 30 was held in an environment of a temperature of 25 ° C. and a relative humidity of 50% for 1 minute, and then measured in an environment of a temperature of 25 ° C. and a relative humidity of 50%. The breaking strengths obtained by the above are also referred to as the first normal temperature breaking strength and the second normal temperature breaking strength, respectively.

The breaking elongation and breaking strength of the packaging material 30 can be measured according to JIS K7127. As a measuring instrument, No. 1 manufactured by Toyo Seiki Co., Ltd. A 260 strograph VG1F can be used. As the test piece, a packaging material 30 cut out into a rectangular film having a width of 15 mm and a length of 150 mm can be used. The distance at the start of measurement between the pair of chucks holding the test piece is 50 mm, and the tensile speed is 200 mm / min. The length of the test piece can be adjusted as long as the test piece can be gripped by a pair of chucks.

When a packaging material 30 in a state before being processed into a container such as a bag 10 is available, a test piece of the packaging material 30 is produced by cutting the packaging material 30 before being processed. Further, the test piece of the packaging material 30 may be produced by cutting a container made from the packaging material 30, such as a bag 10.
For example, when measuring the breaking elongation and breaking strength in the flow direction of the packaging material 30, as shown by reference numeral S1A or S2A in FIG. 4, the long side direction of the test piece coincides with the flow direction of the packaging material 30. The packaging material 30 of the bag 10 may be cut. The test piece S1A is for measuring the breaking elongation and breaking strength of the first region 33 of the packaging material 30 in the flow direction, and includes at least a partially laminated strength adjusting layer 35. The test piece S2A is for measuring the breaking elongation and breaking strength of the second region 34 of the packaging material 30 in the flow direction, and does not include the laminate strength adjusting layer 35.
Further, for example, when measuring the breaking elongation and breaking strength of the packaging material 30 in the vertical direction, the long side direction of the test piece coincides with the vertical direction of the packaging material 30 as shown by reference numeral S1B or S2B in FIG. The packaging material 30 of the bag 10 may be cut.
