Description
本発明は、透明性を有し、酸素、水蒸気等のガスバリア性、特に高湿度下でのガスバリア性に優れた包装材料に好適なガスバリア性膜の製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for producing a gas barrier film suitable for a packaging material having transparency and excellent gas barrier properties such as oxygen and water vapor, particularly gas barrier properties under high humidity.
近年、酸素あるいは水蒸気等に対するバリア性材料として、フィルム基材に酸化ケイ素、酸化アルミニウム等の無機酸化物を、真空蒸着法、スパッタリング法、イオンプレーティング法、化学気相成長法等で形成してなる透明ガスバリア性フィルムが注目されている。そして、かかる透明ガスバリア性フィルムは、一般には透明性、剛性に優れる二軸延伸ポリエステルフィルムからなる基材面に無機酸化物を蒸着したフィルムであるので、そのままでは蒸着層が使用時の摩擦等に弱く、包装用フィルムとして使用する場合、後加工の印刷やラミネート時、又内容物の充填時に、擦れや伸びにより無機酸化物にクラックが入りガスバリア性が低下することがある。
一方、ガスバリア性を有するポリビニルアルコール、エチレン・ビニルアルコール共重合体を二軸延伸フィルム基材に積層する方法(例えば、特許文献1)、あるいはポリビニルアルコールとポリ(メタ)アクリル酸との組成物を二軸延伸フィルム基材に被覆する方法(例えば、特許文献2)が提案されている。しかしながら、ポリビニルアルコールを積層してなるガスバリア性フィルムは、高湿度下での酸素バリア性が低下し、ポリビニルアルコールとポリ(メタ)アクリル酸との組成物は、エステル化を十分に進行させて、フィルムのガスバリア性を高めるためには高温で長時間の加熱が必要であり生産性に問題があり、また、高湿度下でのガスバリア性は不十分であった。また、高温で長時間反応させることによりフィルムが着色し、外観を損ねるため食品包装用には改善が必要である。
他方、ポリビニルアルコールとポリ(メタ)アクリル酸との組成物はエステル化に高温で長時間の反応が必要なことから、ポリアクリル酸にイソシアネート化合物等の架橋剤成分を添加する方法(例えば、特許文献3)、更には金属イオンと反応させる方法(例えば、特許文献4)等が提案されているが、かかる方法においても、ポリアクリル酸を架橋剤成分で架橋するには、実施例に記載されているように、180〜200℃で5分間と高温での処理を必要とする。
In recent years, as a barrier material against oxygen or water vapor, inorganic oxides such as silicon oxide and aluminum oxide have been formed on film substrates by vacuum deposition, sputtering, ion plating, chemical vapor deposition, etc. A transparent gas barrier film is attracting attention. Such a transparent gas barrier film is a film obtained by depositing an inorganic oxide on a base material surface made of a biaxially stretched polyester film that is generally excellent in transparency and rigidity. When used as a packaging film, the inorganic oxide may be cracked by rubbing or stretching during post-processing printing or laminating or filling the contents, and the gas barrier property may be lowered.
On the other hand, a method of laminating a polyvinyl alcohol having a gas barrier property and an ethylene / vinyl alcohol copolymer on a biaxially stretched film substrate (for example, Patent Document 1), or a composition of polyvinyl alcohol and poly (meth) acrylic acid A method of coating a biaxially stretched film substrate (for example, Patent Document 2) has been proposed. However, the gas barrier film formed by laminating polyvinyl alcohol has a reduced oxygen barrier property under high humidity, and the composition of polyvinyl alcohol and poly (meth) acrylic acid has sufficiently advanced esterification, In order to improve the gas barrier property of the film, heating at a high temperature for a long time is required, which causes a problem in productivity, and the gas barrier property under high humidity is insufficient. Further, since the film is colored by reacting at high temperature for a long time and the appearance is impaired, improvement for food packaging is necessary.
On the other hand, since a composition of polyvinyl alcohol and poly (meth) acrylic acid requires a long reaction at a high temperature for esterification, a method of adding a crosslinking agent component such as an isocyanate compound to polyacrylic acid (for example, a patent) Document 3) and a method of reacting with a metal ion (for example, Patent Document 4) have been proposed. In this method, polyacrylic acid is crosslinked with a crosslinking agent component as described in Examples. As shown, it requires treatment at 180 to 200 ° C. for 5 minutes and at a high temperature.
そこで本発明は、不飽和カルボン酸化合物を180〜200℃の高温での熱処理による架橋を行わずに、透明性に優れ、且つ高湿度下でのガスバリア性に優れ、しかも低湿度下でのガスバリア性も良好なガスバリア性膜を安定して得る方法を開発することを目的とした。 Therefore, the present invention provides an excellent transparency and gas barrier property under high humidity without crosslinking the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound by heat treatment at a high temperature of 180 to 200 ° C., and a gas barrier under low humidity. The purpose was to develop a method for stably obtaining a gas barrier film having good properties.

A method for producing a gas barrier film characterized by irradiation is provided.

It is preferable to carry out in the range of ° C. If the temperature when irradiating the electron beam is too high, the evaporation of the solvent is accelerated and crystals of the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound polyvalent metal salt are likely to precipitate, whereas if the temperature is too low, the unsaturated carboxylic acid is It is necessary to lengthen the time for drying the solvent after polymerizing the acid compound polyvalent metal salt and lengthen the production line of the gas barrier film.

したがって、本発明の製造方法で得られるガスバリア性膜において、(A0/A)が0.25未満であるということは、遊離のカルボン酸基が存在しないか、少ないことを示しており、0.25を越える膜は、遊離のカルボン酸基の含有量が多く、耐ガスバリア性が改良されない虞がある。
本発明における1700cm−1付近のカルボン酸基のνC=Oに基づく吸光度A0と赤外線吸収スペクトルにおける1520cm−1付近のカルボキシレートイオンのνC=Oに基づく吸光度Aとの比(A0/A)は、ガスバリア性膜(ガスバリア性積層体)から1cm×3cmの測定用サンプルを切り出し、その表面(不飽和カルボン酸化合物多価金属塩重合体層)の赤外線吸収スペクトルを赤外線全反射測定(ATR法)に得、以下の手順で、先ず、吸光度A0及び吸光度Aを求めた。

Thus, the absorption based on νC═O of the free carboxylic acid group is around 1700 cm −1 , and the absorption based on νC═O of the carboxylate ion is around 1520 cm −1 .
Therefore, in the gas barrier film obtained by the production method of the present invention, (A 0 / A) being less than 0.25 indicates that there are no or few free carboxylic acid groups. A film exceeding .25 has a large content of free carboxylic acid groups, and there is a possibility that the gas barrier resistance is not improved.

The peak position of maximum absorbance (near 1520 cm −1 ) may vary depending on the metal species of the counter ion. For example, calcium is near 1520 cm −1 , zinc is near 1520 cm −1 , magnesium is near 1540 cm −1 , and In sodium (Na), it is around 1540 cm −1 .
Next, the ratio (A 0 / A) was determined from the absorbance A 0 and the absorbance A determined by the above method.

Reference example 3
In the same manner as in Reference Example 1, the above-described Zn acrylate solution (X) was applied to a base film composed of a biaxially stretched polyester film, and then the temperature; 60 ° C., time; 16 seconds using a hot air dryer Then, the water content of the coating liquid before polymerization is set to 54% by weight. Then, using a UV irradiation device (EYE GRANDAGE model ECS 301G1 manufactured by Eye Graphic Co., Ltd.), the UV intensity is 189 mW / cm 2 , the integrated light quantity is 190 mJ / Ultraviolet rays were irradiated under the condition of cm 2 to obtain a gas barrier laminated film in which a gas barrier film was laminated by polymerization.

表1及び表2から分かるように、基材層に塗工した不飽和カルボン酸化合物の多価金属塩溶液に電子線を照射して不飽和カルボン酸化合物の多価金属塩を重合させて得られたガスバリア性積層フィルム(実施例1〜5)は、基材層に塗工した不飽和カルボン酸化合物の多価金属塩溶液に紫外線を照射して不飽和カルボン酸化合物の多価金属塩を重合して得られたガスバリア性積層フィルム(参考例1〜3)に比べ、特に低湿度下(0%RH)における酸素バリア性に優れていることが分かる。 As can be seen from Table 1 and Table 2, the polyvalent metal salt solution of the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound coated on the base layer is irradiated with an electron beam to polymerize the polyvalent metal salt of the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound. The obtained gas barrier laminate films (Examples 1 to 5) were obtained by irradiating the polyvalent metal salt solution of the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound coated on the base layer with ultraviolet rays to obtain the polyvalent metal salt of the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound. It turns out that it is excellent in oxygen barrier property especially in low humidity (0% RH) compared with the gas barrier property laminated | multilayer film (Reference Examples 1-3) obtained by superposing | polymerizing.
本発明の不飽和カルボン酸化合物多価金属塩の重合体からなるガスバリア性膜及びかかるガスバリア性を形成してなるガスバリア性積層体は、耐酸素透過性(ガスバリア性)に優れているので、かかる特徴を活かして、包装材料、特に高いガスバリア性が要求される内容物の食品包装材料を始め、医療用途、工業用途等さまざまな包装材料としても好適に使用し得る。 Since the gas barrier film made of the polymer of the unsaturated carboxylic acid compound polyvalent metal salt of the present invention and the gas barrier laminate formed with such a gas barrier property are excellent in oxygen permeation resistance (gas barrier property), this is required. Taking advantage of the characteristics, it can be suitably used as a packaging material, particularly a food packaging material having a high gas barrier property, as well as various packaging materials such as medical use and industrial use.
