[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a polyester resin composition excellent in aroma retention, heat stability, heat sealability, impact resistance, flexibility, pinhole resistance, spreadability and the like. More specifically, the present invention relates to a polyester resin composition and a sheet, which are suitable as a packaging material for contents in which aroma components are less adsorbed and acetaldehyde is less eluted into the contents, and in particular changes in the aroma components such as beverages and foods are not preferred.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art For packaging containers such as paper packs, trays, lids, and cans, the contents and inner surfaces where the change in aroma components is not preferred, such as beverages such as juice, water, liquor and foods such as convenience foods and fruits. May be in direct contact with the material forming the innermost layer for that reason, aroma retention,
Excellent gas barrier properties are required.
From such a background, as the innermost layer of these packaging containers,
Polyethylene terephthalate is drawing attention.

For example, hollow molded bottles and multi-layered paper packs have been widely used in the field of beverage packaging such as juice, lactic acid bacterium beverage, water and liquor. In the paper pack, it is necessary to laminate the heat-sealable resin layer as an innermost layer on the paper in order to perform heat-sealing in the forming and filling steps. As the heat-sealable resin layer, polyolefin, especially polyethylene, has been frequently used. Polyolefin has not only excellent heat sealability but also excellent flexibility, and has the advantage that pinholes do not occur during bending. But,
Polyolefin has a drawback that it tends to adsorb a fragrance component and may be accompanied by a resin odor, and the taste and aroma may change depending on the type of contents.

On the other hand, polyethylene terephthalate has little adsorption of fragrance components and is excellent in gas barrier property,
The heat sealing performance was poor and the impact resistance was poor, and it was difficult to use it for the innermost layer of a packaging material that requires heat sealing, such as a paper pack. Further, the crystalline copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate obtained by copolymerizing isophthalic acid and the like is superior in heat sealability to polyethylene terephthalate, but not satisfactory in impact resistance and flexibility. Furthermore, PET
Cyclohexanedimethanol such as G is about 30 mol%
The impact resistance of the copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate is at a considerable level, but the fragrance and heat stability,
The heat resistance was not satisfactory. Further, these polyethylene terephthalate-based resins have a drawback that the acetaldehyde content tends to increase at the time of molding, and the taste and aroma of the contents change due to the elution thereof.

Therefore, as a method for improving the drawbacks of such a polyethylene terephthalate resin, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
No. 127340 discloses a method in which a random copolymer is dispersed in a polyester resin having a specific crystallinity and used. This method is intended to improve the impact resistance and heat sealability, which are the drawbacks of the polyethylene terephthalate resin, and have insufficient aroma retention.

Further, JP-A-2-277635 discloses a method of blending isophthalic acid copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate with a specific amount of polyolefin. This method is intended to improve the heat sealability, which is a drawback of polyethylene terephthalate resin, but has the drawback that sufficient heat sealability cannot be obtained unless the composition is inferior in aroma retention. there were.

Further, a method of blending a copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate with an ethylene / (meth) acrylic acid ester type copolymer or a metal ionized product thereof (JP-A-2-233372, JP-A-3-3283).
No. 7) has been proposed. However, even in the packaging material obtained by such a method, due to metal ions and moisture absorption derived from the polyolefin component, the thermal stability of the copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate is lowered,
The content of acetaldehyde increases at the time of molding, and the elution thereof causes a bad taste and odor to be added to the contents, which is not satisfactory.

[0008]

The object of the present invention is to provide excellent heat stability, heat sealability, impact resistance, flexibility, pinhole resistance, spreadability, etc., and in particular, less adsorption of aroma components. It is intended to provide a polyester resin composition in which acetaldehyde is less eluted into the contents, and a sheet formed by molding the polyester resin composition.

[0009]

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of intensive studies to achieve the above object, the present inventors have found that a polyester resin composition obtained by mixing a specific copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate with a specific modified polyolefin is molded. It has been found that the reduction of acetaldehyde content or the suppression of its increase sometimes occurs, and the present invention has been accomplished.

That is, the gist of the present invention is that the intrinsic viscosity is 0.5.

The present invention will be described in detail below. The polyester resin composition of the present invention comprises copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate and a modified polyolefin. In the polyester resin composition of the present invention, the proportion of copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate is 60 to 99% by weight, preferably 70 to 99% by weight.
98% by weight, more preferably 75 to 97% by weight, the ratio of the modified polyolefin is 1 to 40% by weight,
Preferably 2 to 30% by weight, more preferably 3 to 25
It is in the range of% by weight. When the ratio of the modified polyolefin is less than 1% by weight, it is not preferable because not only flexibility and impact resistance are low but also heat sealability and pinhole resistance are poor. On the other hand, when the ratio of the modified polyolefin exceeds 40% by weight, the aroma retaining property, the gas barrier property,
It is not preferable because the heat resistance is significantly reduced.

The copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate used in the polyester resin composition of the present invention is a polyester containing terephthalic acid and ethylene glycol as main repeating units, and is phenol / 1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane (weight ratio). = 1/1) in a mixed solvent of 30

It is in the range of 0.8 dl / g. When the intrinsic viscosity of the copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate is less than 0.5 dl / g, the strength of the molded product obtained by molding the obtained polyester resin composition is low, which is not preferable. On the other hand, the intrinsic viscosity is 1.
When it exceeds 5 dl / g, it is not preferable because the cost is increased when producing the copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate, and the moldability of the obtained polyester resin composition is low.

eq / kg or less, more preferably 30 meq / kg or less, still more preferably 20 meq / kg or less. When the terminal carboxyl group concentration of the copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate exceeds 60 meq / kg, the mechanical properties due to thermal decomposition and the acetaldehyde content increase remarkably during molding of the resulting polyester resin composition. It is not preferable because it exists. The concentration of the terminal carboxyl group is a method for controlling the concentration of the terminal carboxyl group that has been conventionally performed in melt polymerization of polyethylene terephthalate, for example, the final esterification rate during the esterification reaction, the temperature during the transesterification reaction or polycondensation reaction, It can be controlled by pressure, time, etc. Here, the concentration of the terminal carboxyl group was quantified by heating and dissolving the copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate in benzyl alcohol, diluting with chloroform, and titrating with sodium hydroxide / benzyl alcohol solution using phenol red as an indicator,
It is the ratio of the terminal carboxyl group to the copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate.

The copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate used in the polyester resin composition of the present invention has a proportion of copolymerization components other than diethylene glycol of 2 to 25 mol%, preferably 3 to 20 mol%, more preferably 5 to 15 mol%. It is a range. It is preferable to use a copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate in which the ratio of the copolymerization component other than diethylene glycol exceeds 25 mol%, because the resulting polyester resin composition tends to have low aroma and gas barrier properties and low thermal stability. Absent. On the other hand, it is not preferable to use a copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate in which the ratio of the copolymerization component other than diethylene glycol is less than 2 mol% because the obtained polyester resin composition has low flexibility, impact resistance and heat sealability. Here, the ratio of the copolymerization component other than diethylene glycol, the ratio of the dicarboxylic acid component other than terephthalic acid to the total dicarboxylic acid component, and ethylene glycol to the total diol component,
It is the sum of the proportions of diol components other than diethylene glycol.

The dicarboxylic acid component used as the copolymerization component is usually isophthalic acid, phthalic acid, 2,6
Examples include components such as naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, 4,4′-biphenyldicarboxylic acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, and sebacic acid.

Of these, 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol and isophthalic acid are preferable, and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol is more preferable. Regarding the above-mentioned trifunctional or higher functional copolymerization component,
From the viewpoint of preventing gelation, it is usually used in the range of 1 mol% or less, preferably 0.7 mol% or less.

The copolymerization ratio of diethylene glycol of the copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate used in the polyester resin composition of the present invention is 5 mol% or less, preferably 4 mol% or less, more preferably 3 mol% or less. When copolymerized polyethylene terephthalate having a copolymerization ratio of diethylene glycol exceeding 5 mol% is used, the thermal stability of the obtained polyester resin composition is low, and the mechanical properties due to thermal decomposition decrease and the acetaldehyde content increases. It is not preferable. Here, the copolymerization ratio of diethylene glycol is the ratio of diethylene glycol to the total diol component.

In particular, since diethylene glycol is partly produced as a by-product from ethylene glycol during the polymerization reaction, the reaction conditions, additives, etc. may be appropriately selected in addition to the case where a predetermined amount of diethylene glycol or its ester-forming derivative is used as a polymerization raw material. By doing so, the copolymerization ratio of diethylene glycol can be controlled.

It is carried out by setting the temperature to 20 to 280 ° C.

With respect to the melt molding method, a melt molding method such as extrusion molding, injection molding or press molding which has been generally used for polyethylene terephthalate or polyolefin can be used. When these melt moldings are performed, the temperature is usually 200 to 300 ° C., preferably 220.
It is carried out by setting the temperature to 280 ° C. In particular, molding with a twin-screw extruder having a vent connected to a vacuum system is preferable because it lowers the acetaldehyde content or suppresses its increase. The vacuum system connected to the vent is 100
