JP6044061B2 - Flexible packaging bag for liquid - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a flexible packaging bag for ink bags for ink jet devices, foods, detergents, household products and health / medical products.

  The flexible packaging bag of the present invention is a case where the content is a liquid and contains a strong permeable substance containing a volatile component, a fragrance, an oil, a high boiling point organic solvent, an acidic substance or an alkaline substance. Even if it exists, it is excellent in the preservability of the content, without reducing the adhesive strength of the adhesive bond layer of the plastic laminated film which comprises the said packaging bag.

  Conventionally, flexible packaging bags are used for individual packaging in various fields such as ink bags for inkjet devices, foods, detergents, household products, and health / medical products.

  As a packaging material of the flexible packaging bag, as shown in FIG. 3A, each layer of a paper layer (31), a polyethylene layer (32), an aluminum foil layer (33), and a sealant layer (34). As shown in FIG. 3 (b), a laminate (30) in which is laminated, a paper layer (31), a polyethylene layer (32), an aluminum foil layer (33), a polyester layer (36), a sealant layer. A laminate (39) in which the layers (34) are laminated has been widely used.

  Among them, the bonding of the aluminum foil layer (33) and the sealant layer (34) in the former laminate (30) is usually a heat-adhesive resin that becomes the sealant layer (34) on the aluminum foil layer (33), For example, as shown in FIG. 4, polyethylene or ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer (EAA) is directly extruded and laminated using a melt extrusion laminator (40), or an aluminum foil layer (33). A two-component curable polyurethane-based anchor coating agent (35) or the like was applied to the resin, and then a resin to be the sealant layer (34) was extruded and laminated.

  In addition, the polyester layer (36) and the sealant layer (34) of the latter laminate (39) are usually bonded to a polyester film by applying an anchor coating agent (35) such as a two-component curable polyurethane system to the polyester film. Then, the sealant layer (34) was extruded and laminated.

  Such a laminate has an appropriate laminate strength, gas barrier properties, and the like, and is widely used as a packaging material for packaging foods and pharmaceuticals.

  However, some contents contained in packaging materials contain alcohols, acidic substances, alkaline substances, fragrances, surfactants, high-boiling organic solvents, and so on. In some cases, the adhesive of the agent layer is adversely affected, leading to a decrease in laminate strength in the laminate or peeling.

  In addition, in the case of an ink bag for an ink jet apparatus, the ink that is the content often contains alcohols, oils, pigments, and the like.

That is, when a volatile substance or a highly alkaline substance is contained as in the ink, a laminate obtained by using a laminate or an adhesive layer having the above-described configuration is used as a packaging material. When these contents are stored in the packaging bag, the laminate strength between the aluminum foil and the sealant layer or between the polyester film and the sealant layer is lowered with time, and as a result, delamination may occur.

  In other words, if the contents to be stored are inks for ink jet devices, poultices, bathing agents, etc., these contain volatile substances, so use a laminate or adhesive layer as described above. When the resulting laminate is used as a packaging material and these contents are packaged, the laminate strength between the aluminum foil and the sealant layer or between the polyester film and the sealant layer will increase over time due to the strong penetration of volatile substances. There is a problem in that it decreases and as a result causes delamination.

  On the other hand, an ink jet printer that performs printing by ejecting ink from nozzles is known as a liquid ejecting apparatus that ejects liquid. This printer has a recording head in which a plurality of nozzles are formed, and printing is performed by ejecting ink from the nozzles while reciprocating the recording head.

  In such a printer, an ink cartridge that stores ink to be supplied to the recording head is replaceably provided. The ink cartridge contains an ink bag that wraps ink inside a hard case. There is a type in which ink is directly stored in an ink storage chamber formed inside the hard case and the opening is sealed with a resin film.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the ink bag type is provided with an elastic bag member (rubber etc.) (22) in an ink bag (20), and a laminated film (25) using an aluminum foil having a gas barrier property or a vapor deposition film. In general, ink is stored inside a packaging bag configured by heat sealing (21), (23).

  In addition, the resin film sealing type is a laminate film that has an elastic plug member on the wall surface of the ink storage chamber formed inside the hard case, and uses an aluminum foil or vapor deposition film having gas barrier properties and water vapor barrier properties for the opening. In general, ink is stored in an ink containing chamber configured by heat sealing.

  The ink stored in both types is supplied to the recording head by inserting a hollow needle (24) into the elastic plug member (22) and the like, and depending on the type of the recording head, pressurization, decompression, electricity ( Piezo method), heat (thermal method), etc. are applied, and ink is ejected from the recording head.

  In both types, when the printer is switched on, the ink is stored in advance in a degassed state and formed inside the ink bag or hard case in order to improve ink discharge performance regardless of the remaining amount of ink. Many of them are provided with means for pressurizing the resin film sealing the opening of the ink storage chamber with a constant pressure.

  Therefore, the resin film sealing the ink bag and the hard case opening may have good suitability (chemical stability) with the content ink and good ink discharge properties (flexibility to the pressurizing means). In many cases, a polyethylene-based resin is used for the innermost layer.

  That is, the resin film has chemical stability that is not affected by chemical changes such as dissolution and expansion by the ink, and when the ink is discharged from the nozzle of the recording head, the ink bag receives the pressurizing means. It must be flexible and flexible.

  Therefore, a polyethylene-based resin film having the above characteristics has been used for the innermost layer, which is the inner surface of the ink bag in contact with the liquid.

  In order to cope with such a situation, Patent Document 1 discloses various improvements in adhesives used for laminating, improving resistance to highly alkaline items, and various plastic films and metals. Various adhesives with improved adhesion to foil have been proposed.

  However, additives such as lubricants, antioxidants, antiblocking agents and plasticizers are used in the polyethylene resin film that constitutes the heat seal layer used for the innermost layer. However, it may elute into the ink in the ink bag and deteriorate the flow state of the ink.

  In other words, the additive may cause aggregation of the ink, or may adhere to the wall surface of the nozzle, which is the ink passage, to form a lump and cause a clogging phenomenon in the ink nozzle.

  Further, the additive penetrates into the anchor coating agent (adhesive) provided on the base film side at the time of laminating, thereby reducing the laminating adhesive strength of the laminated film constituting the packaging bag, May cause lamination.

  That is, what causes the lowering of the laminate adhesive strength of the anchor coating agent (adhesive) is a strongly permeable substance including a volatile substance in the contents of the packaging bag, and a polyethylene type which is the sealant layer. It is an additive contained in resins and the like.

  Even in this case, the present invention does not cause delamination and is excellent in storage stability of the contents without reducing the adhesive strength of the adhesive layer of the plastic laminated film constituting the bag. A flexible packaging bag for liquid is provided.

  The flexible packaging bag for liquid in the present invention uses a packaging material made of a laminated film having at least a base film and a heat seal film on one side.

  The heat seal film constitutes an inner wall surface of the liquid flexible packaging bag, and is a polyethylene-based resin film with no additive.

  In the laminated film, a polyurethane adhesive layer containing a urea bond and a heat seal film are provided in this order on the base film.

  The polyurethane adhesive layer containing a urea bond is a polyurethane containing a urea bond synthesized from a derivative of a trifunctional monomer of adduct type, burette type, or trimer type.

  The base film is a laminate in which a metal foil or an inorganic oxide or metal vapor deposition layer is provided on one side of the base film, and a film of the same type as the base film is provided thereon. It is characterized by.

  The base film and the same type of film are any one of a polyester film, a nylon film, and a polyolefin film.

  As the form of the flexible packaging bag for liquid of the present invention, a two-side seal, a three-side seal, a flat bag with a four-side seal, a gusset bag, and a standing pouch are mostly used.

  The two-side sealed bag is a form in which the upper and lower (top and bottom) of the tubular film are heat sealed.

  A three-sided seal bag is a film that is folded in two, heat sealed at both ends and top, and one film is formed in a pillow shape, heat sealed with the film seam at the center, Furthermore, there is a so-called pillow type three-side sealed bag that is heat-sealed at the top and bottom.

  There are three types of pillow-type three-sided seal bags: center seal, envelope seal, and tape seal. The four-side sealed bag is made from one film or two films in a form in which the four sides of the bag are sealed.

  A standing pouch is a pouch that is self-supporting. The bottom film is folded in two to form a fold, and the bottom film is formed by heat-sealing with the body film. There are two types: one that is used to fold the bottom and heat-seal both sides to form the bottom.

  The standing pouch requires rigidity and shape retention for the material to be used in order to give the bag self-supporting properties, and a laminated material suitable for these physical properties is used. The gusset bag is a bag having a folded portion on both sides of the bag and having a large packaging internal volume per packaging material area.

  In general, the flexible packaging bag is strongly bonded by heat sealing (thermal welding), and it is difficult to open from the heat sealing portion, so various opening methods are devised. As opening methods that are often used, a notch is provided in the lateral end of the upper part of the bag, and examples of the notch include a V-notch, a notch, a sawtooth cut, and a perforation. For visually impaired people, it is necessary to provide notches that are easy to find by hand, and V-notches can be preferably used.

  As an ink-jet ink bag used as an example of the present invention, a hollow needle (24) is inserted into the elastic plug member (22) into a spout plug portion of a spout as a plug member on the upper portion of a standing pouch type. A standing pouch type is used.

  As the base film (4) of the base film (3) of the flexible packaging bag for liquid according to the present invention, cellophane, stretched polypropylene, unstretched polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene naphthalate, nylon, polystyrene, polyvinyl alcohol , Ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polymethylpentene, polyacrylonitrile and the like can be used.

  Furthermore, a multilayer laminated film (co-extruded film, laminated film bonded with an adhesive) of the various plastic films, a laminated film of a plastic film and paper, an aluminum foil, an aluminum deposited film, or the like can be used.

  Among these, a polyester film, a nylon film, or a polyolefin film can be preferably used. In particular, a nylon film can be more preferably used because it is excellent in preventing piercing to an inkjet nozzle that is a sharp protrusion.

  When the oxygen barrier property or water vapor barrier property is required, the polyester film, nylon film, or polyolefin film provided with a vapor deposition layer such as an inorganic oxide layer or metal on one side can be more preferably used. .

  In the case of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B, an inorganic oxide layer, a metal, or the like is formed on one side of the polyester film, nylon film, or polyolefin film as the base film (4). After providing a vapor deposition layer, what laminated | stacked the same kind of film as the said base film (4) on the adhesive agent (9) on it is used as the said base film (3).

  The reason for adopting this configuration is that the contents of the flexible packaging bag for liquid are intended not to be in direct contact with the vapor deposition layer such as an inorganic oxide layer or a metal. In order to provide a distance as much as possible, a film of the same type as the base film (4) such as the polyester film, nylon film or polyolefin film is provided via an adhesive (9).

  As the heat seal film (8) constituting the inner wall surface of the flexible packaging bag for liquid, polyethylene resin (including low density polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene, medium density polyethylene, high density polyethylene), Polypropylene resins, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, ionomers, polyester resins, and the like can be used. However, additives such as lubricants, antioxidants, antiblocking agents, and plasticizers can be preferably used without adding polyethylene resins. .

The base film (3) and the heat seal film (8) are laminated to produce the laminated film ( 1 ). The laminating method may be either a dry laminating method or a melt extrusion laminating method. Can do.

  In the case of the latter melt-extrusion laminating method, as shown in FIG. 4, after the anchor coating agent (35) is applied to the base film (37), the sealant layer ( 34) A laminate is prepared by laminating (heat seal film).

  The laminated film (1) of the present invention is coated on a polyurethane adhesive layer (6) containing urea bonds as an anchor coating agent on the base film (3), and then a molten polyethylene resin (7) is applied. Then, a heat seal film (8) is bonded as a sealant layer.

  As the molten polyethylene resin (7), a polyethylene resin to which the additive is not added can be preferably used.

  The polyurethane adhesive layer (6) containing urea bonds is a polyurethane adhesive layer containing urea bonds synthesized from derivatives of trifunctional monomers of adduct body type, burette body type, and trimer body type. Compared with a general two-component curing type urethane adhesive layer, the polyurethane adhesive layer containing urea bonds has more bonds, higher bond density, and stronger bond network structure.

  For this reason, a strong osmotic substance containing a volatile component having a strong osmotic force contained in the contents of the packaging bag or a resin additive causes a dissolution or expansion phenomenon, that is, the laminate strength is extremely reduced. It is less.

  That is, the polyurethane compound layer containing the urea bond is synthesized from a bifunctional isocyanate monomer or a derivative of a trifunctional monomer of adduct body type, burette body type, or trimer body type, whereby an isocyanate compound is obtained. It can have a dense network structure having urea bonds with high content resistance and resin additive resistance, and a highly resistant laminate can be obtained.

  (A) of FIG. 1 is a schematic sectional view of a laminated film (1) constituting the flexible packaging bag for liquid of the present invention, and the laminated film (1) is formed on one side of the base film (3). After the anchor coat layer (6) is provided, the heat seal film (8) is laminated through the extruded resin (7).

The base film (3) is provided with a metal foil or an inorganic oxide or metal deposition layer ( 5 ) on one side of the base film (4) via an adhesive (9), and further thereon. In addition, a film (4) of the same type as the base film (4) is a laminate provided with an adhesive (9).

  FIG. 1B is a schematic cross-sectional view in which the top and bottom of FIG. 1A, which is a laminated film (1) constituting the flexible packaging bag for liquid of the present invention, is reversed.

  That is, if (a) in FIG. 1 is a film that becomes a front surface of the flexible packaging bag for liquid, (b) in FIG. 1 is a back film. The end portions of the respective heat seal film surfaces are superposed and thermally bonded to create a flexible packaging bag for liquid.
