Description
本発明は、清涼飲料等の液体を収容する容器の蓋用ポリエチレン系樹脂に関し、詳しくは成形性、高流動性、剛性と耐衝撃性とのバランス、耐ストレスクラック性、滑り性、低臭気性、食品安全性に優れ、かつ高温時においても比較的容易にカット出来るポリエチレン系樹脂に関する。特に、本発明のポリエチレン系樹脂は、ポリエチレンテレフタレート(以下、PETともいう)製ボトル等の飲料容器に用いられる容器蓋に好適な材料であり、剛性が高く、易開封性に優れた容器蓋を提供できる。なおかつ、高速成形に優れ、内容物に異味を与えるような添加剤も含まず、内容物に異臭を与えるような炭化水素揮発分が少ない、容器蓋に好適な材料を提供するものである。 The present invention relates to a polyethylene-based resin for lids of containers that contain liquids such as soft drinks, and more specifically, moldability, high fluidity, balance between rigidity and impact resistance, stress crack resistance, slipperiness, and low odor. The present invention relates to a polyethylene resin that is excellent in food safety and can be cut relatively easily even at high temperatures. In particular, the polyethylene resin of the present invention is a material suitable for container lids used for beverage containers such as polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter also referred to as PET) bottles, and has a highly rigid and easy-open container lid. Can be provided. In addition, the present invention provides a material suitable for a container lid that is excellent in high-speed molding, does not contain additives that give taste to the contents, and has a small amount of hydrocarbon volatile matter that gives a strange odor to the contents.
従来、清涼飲料水等の容器として、ポリエチレンテレフタレート製の容器(ボトル)が用いられ、その蓋としてアルミニウム金属製の蓋が用いられていたが、近年、リサイクル性等の環境保全の観点からポリオレフィン製の蓋(キャップ)が用いられるようになってきた。 Conventionally, a container (bottle) made of polyethylene terephthalate has been used as a container for soft drinks, and a lid made of aluminum metal has been used as its cover. Recently, it is made of polyolefin from the viewpoint of environmental conservation such as recyclability. Lids (caps) have come to be used.
さらに、ポリオレフィン製のキャップ成形サイクルを短縮し、生産効率を上げるため、高流動性のポリオレフィンにて射出成形および圧縮成形を行う試みがなされており、この中でポリエチレンはポリプロピレンに比べ融点が低いため、成形サイクルを短縮できる点で注目され、さらに、ポリエチレンはキャップ開閉時の滑り性も良好であるため、好ましい。 Furthermore, in order to shorten the polyolefin cap molding cycle and increase production efficiency, attempts have been made to perform injection molding and compression molding with high-fluidity polyolefins, among which polyethylene has a lower melting point than polypropylene. In view of the fact that the molding cycle can be shortened, polyethylene is preferable because it has a good sliding property when the cap is opened and closed.
また、経済上の理由からキャップの肉厚を薄くすることも要求されているため、薄い肉厚による剛性低下で内圧によって変形しシール部から内容物が漏れないようにするため高い剛性が求められている。 Moreover, since it is required to reduce the thickness of the cap for economic reasons, high rigidity is required in order to prevent the contents from leaking from the seal part due to deformation caused by internal pressure due to the reduction in rigidity due to the thin thickness. ing.
最近では緑茶などの飲料入り容器を加温器にて加温し販売する態様が現れてきた。
この加温販売においては、加温時でも形状を保持できるよう更なる高剛性化および高温時のキャップ締め付けによる割れが発生しないことが要求される。
Recently, a mode has appeared in which containers containing beverages such as green tea are heated and sold with a heater.
In this warming sale, it is required that the rigidity is further increased so that the shape can be maintained even during warming and that cracks due to cap tightening at high temperatures do not occur.
例えば2種類のポリエチレンを順次重合もしくはブレンドすることにより得られるポリエチレン組成物は耐ストレスクラック性、耐衝撃性等に優れており、コンテナー、ボトル、フィルム等に使用されているが、高速成形に対応しうる高流動性、高温時の切れ性の満足するものが得られず、加温販売用キャップには使用されていない。一方、近年の成形サイクル向上のための流動性を重視したポリエチレンでは一般に耐ストレスクラック性が不足する。また、単に剛性を重視した高密度のポリエチレンでも耐ストレスクラック性は同様に劣る。例えば、特許文献1に記載されたポリエチレン組成物では、耐ストレスクラック性は良いものの、高サイクル成形性および高剛性化の点では不十分である。 For example, polyethylene composition obtained by sequentially polymerizing or blending two types of polyethylene is excellent in stress crack resistance, impact resistance, etc., and is used for containers, bottles, films, etc. High fluidity and high cutting performance at high temperatures are not obtained, and it is not used for heated sales caps. On the other hand, polyethylene with emphasis on fluidity for improving molding cycles in recent years generally lacks stress crack resistance. Moreover, the stress crack resistance is similarly inferior even with high-density polyethylene that emphasizes rigidity. For example, the polyethylene composition described in Patent Document 1 has good stress crack resistance, but is insufficient in terms of high cycle moldability and high rigidity.
また、特許文献2および特許文献3で提案されているポリエチレン系樹脂組成物により容器および蓋の耐ストレスクラック性を向上させることが可能となったが、加温用の容器としては更なる高剛性が望まれており、切れ性、剛性、耐ストレスクラック性とのバランスが不十分で、加温販売容器の蓋には使用されていないのが現状である。さらに、一般的に成形サイクルが上がらず、高速成形できないことが問題となっている。 Moreover, although it became possible to improve the stress crack resistance of a container and a lid | cover by the polyethylene-type resin composition proposed by patent document 2 and patent document 3, it is still higher rigidity as a container for heating. However, the balance between cutting ability, rigidity, and stress crack resistance is insufficient, and it is currently not used for lids of heated sales containers. Furthermore, the molding cycle generally does not increase, and it is a problem that high-speed molding cannot be performed.
本発明の目的は、成形性、高流動性、剛性と耐衝撃性とのバランス、耐ストレスクラック性、滑り性に優れ、比較的容易にカットでき、また、添加剤無添加および低揮発性による低味低臭性に優れ、かつ高速成形性に優れるポリエチレン系樹脂で、特にPETボトル等の飲料容器に用いられる容器蓋に好適な材料を提供することにある。本発明のポリエチレン系樹脂を用いることにより、剛性が高く、加温(60℃程度)時の開栓でも易開口性があり、タンパーエビデント性付与のためのブリッジの切れが良く、割れず、また、高速成形性、成形ハイサイクル性に優れた容器蓋を提供することができる。 The object of the present invention is excellent in moldability, high fluidity, balance between rigidity and impact resistance, stress crack resistance, slipperiness, can be cut relatively easily, and has no additive and low volatility. An object of the present invention is to provide a material suitable for a container lid used for a beverage container such as a PET bottle, which is a polyethylene resin excellent in low taste and low odor and excellent in high-speed moldability. By using the polyethylene-based resin of the present invention, the rigidity is high, it is easy to open even when heated (about 60 ° C.), the bridge for imparting tamper evidence is good, the crack is not broken, Moreover, the container lid excellent in the high-speed moldability and the shaping | molding high cycle property can be provided.
そこで本発明者らは成形性、高流動性、剛性、耐ストレスクラック性等の性能を有する容器蓋用ポリエチレン系樹脂組成物を開発すべく鋭意研究を重ねた結果、これらの特性を満足する容器蓋用ポリエチレン系樹脂を発明するに至った。 Therefore, as a result of intensive research to develop a polyethylene-based resin composition for container lids having performances such as moldability, high fluidity, rigidity, and stress crack resistance, the present inventors have obtained a container that satisfies these characteristics.

For example, in general, transition metal compounds such as titanium and zirconium, Ziegler catalysts composed of magnesium compounds, Phillips catalysts typified by chromium oxide-based catalysts, and transition metal compounds such as zirconium, hafnium, and titanium have at least one cyclopenta It can be obtained by polymerizing a metallocene catalyst having a dienyl group or a substituted cyclopentadienyl group as a polymerization catalyst. In the polymerization, it is obtained by polymerizing ethylene alone or by copolymerizing ethylene and one or more comonomers selected from C3-C18 α-olefins to a predetermined density.

Further, when the MFR exceeds 10 g / 10 min, the stress crack resistance is inferior even if the HLMFR is 100 to 500 g / 10 min. Is difficult to achieve, and as a result, the high-speed moldability is naturally inferior. If HLMFR / MFR is less than 50, the balance between stress crack resistance and bridge breakability cannot be achieved. When HLMFR / MFR is larger than 200, the stress crack resistance and the bridge breakability are similarly unbalanced.
さらに本発明のポリエチレン系樹脂は、b)密度が0.958g/cm3以上、好ましくは0.960cm3以上である。密度を0.958g/10min以上とすることにより高レベルの剛性を有し、高温時でもキャップが変形しにくい。密度が0.958g/cm3に達しないものは剛性が劣り、キャップが変形しやすく好ましくない。密度の上限値は特に限定されないが、通常0.980g/cm3程度である。 Furthermore polyethylene resin of the present invention, b) density of 0.958 g / cm 3 or more, preferably 0.960Cm 3 or more.

Those in which the density does not reach 0.958 g / cm 3 are not preferable because the rigidity is poor and the cap is easily deformed. The upper limit of the density is not particularly limited, but is usually about 0.980 g / cm 3 .
前記ポリエチレン系樹脂は、c)射出成形試料の曲げ弾性率が1000MPa以上である。より好ましい曲げ弾性率は1100MPa以上、さらに好ましくは1300MPa以上である。曲げ弾性率が1000MPaに達しないものは剛性が劣り、特に高温時にキャップが変形しやすい。曲げ弾性率の上限値は特に限定されないが、通常は2000MPa程度である。 The polyethylene-based resin is c) the bending elastic modulus of the injection molded sample is 1000 MPa or more.

Those whose bending elastic modulus does not reach 1000 MPa have poor rigidity, and the cap is liable to be deformed particularly at high temperatures. The upper limit of the flexural modulus is not particularly limited, but is usually about 2000 MPa.

As the sample, a sample cut out from a plate having a size of 120 × 120 × 2 mm which is injection-molded at 190 ° C. is used.
この定ひずみESCRが10時間未満では、応力によりキャップが破壊しやすく、内容物の液漏れ原因となる。また、40時間を超えるものでは、耐ストレスクラック性は良いものの、剛性と流動性のバランスが取れない。 If this constant strain ESCR is less than 10 hours, the cap is easily broken by the stress, which causes liquid leakage of the contents. Moreover, when it exceeds 40 hours, although the stress crack resistance is good, rigidity and fluidity cannot be balanced.
