Description

  The present invention provides a laminate excellent in gas barrier properties, fragrance retention, heat resistance, and moisture resistance, and a food packaging container and a microwave oven using the same, which have good adhesion to a substrate mainly composed of paper. Concerning the container.

Conventionally, in order to provide various functions, it is widely performed to laminate a thermoplastic resin. In particular, in the production of processed paper laminated with polyethylene, polyethylene is frequently used as a packaging or container material because of its excellent moldability and adhesiveness to paper.
However, since polyethylene has insufficient gas barrier properties, it is unsuitable in the field of food packaging containers and the like that require gas barrier properties and fragrance retention properties.
On the other hand, in a field that requires fragrance retention and heat resistance, a material obtained by laminating polyethylene terephthalate (PET) on a base material has been used. However, when PET is to be laminated on paper, it is difficult to perform stable processing, and thickness unevenness occurs, or only processed paper with insufficient adhesion to the substrate can be obtained. was there.

In order to solve the problem of adhesion between the base material and PET, the following method is disclosed.
For example, in Patent Document 1, a first layer made of PET having a specific density or a resin containing PET as a main component is disposed on a paper base material without using an adhesive layer, and the first layer is specified on the first layer. It is disclosed that the adhesiveness is improved by a multilayer polyester-based laminated paper characterized in that a second layer made of a PET copolymer resin having a density of 1 is disposed.
Moreover, in patent document 2, in the method of carrying out extrusion coating of polyester to a fiber base material, polyester which was excellent in interlayer adhesiveness by carrying out extrusion coating on specific conditions using polyester of specific melt viscosity ratio and intrinsic viscosity. It is disclosed that processed paper can be manufactured stably.
However, the adhesion between the substrate and PET is inferior to the adhesion between the substrate and polyolefin, and there is room for improvement as a material. Further, when PET is directly coated, although it has excellent fragrance retention, it has poor room for moisture resistance as compared with the case where polyethylene is laminated, so there is room for improvement.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail for each item.
1. Laminate (1) Polyethylene resin composition (C)
The polyethylene resin composition (C) forming the polyethylene resin layer (I) used in the present invention is a polyethylene resin composition having the following properties (c-1).
(C-1) In the elution curve obtained by temperature-rise elution fractionation (TREF) with orthodichlorobenzene, the proportion of eluate of 80 ° C. or less is 28% by weight or more obtained by temperature-rise elution fractionation (TREF) with orthodichlorobenzene. The elution curve to be obtained can be obtained by the measuring means, measuring apparatus and measuring conditions described in detail in the following examples. For example, as shown in FIG. 1, from the integral elution curve with respect to the temperature of the obtained TREF, the percentage by weight of the component eluted at an elution temperature of 80 ° C. or less can be calculated.
According to the polyethylene-based resin composition satisfying the above (c-1), it becomes possible to develop adhesiveness with the polyethylene terephthalate resin layer (II) directly laminated thereon.
More preferably, in the elution curve obtained by the TREF, the polyethylene resin composition (C)
(C-1 ′) TREF 80 ° C. or lower eluate ratio is 28 wt% or more and 99.5 wt% or less,
More preferably,
(C-1 ″) TREF 80 ° C. or less eluate ratio is 50 wt% or more and 99.5 wt% or less,
More preferably
(C-1 ′ ″) TREF 80 ° C. or less The eluate ratio is 57% by weight or more and 99.5% by weight or less.
Furthermore, when the ratio of the eluate at TREF of 80 ° C. or less is 95.0% by weight or less, preferably 88.0% by weight or less, the laminate has excellent water vapor barrier properties.
In order to obtain a polyethylene-based resin composition (C) that satisfies this elution ratio, specifically, it is obtained by mixing a polyethylene-based resin (A) and a polyethylene-based resin (B), which will be described later, as described later. Is preferred.
Specifically, the polyethylene resin (A) having a lower density (and a high ratio of the eluate component of TREF 80 ° C. or less) and a higher density (a low ratio of the eluate component of a TREF 80 ° C. or lower component) By adjusting the kind and component ratio of each resin to be mixed when mixing the polyethylene resin (B), it has a TREF elution ratio in the above desired range, and preferably (c-2 The polyethylene resin composition (C) having the desired density range described in (1) can be obtained. Such a resin composition can satisfy the contradictory performance of improving the water vapor barrier property and improving the adhesiveness in a well-balanced manner. Although it is possible to use a single polyethylene-based resin as (C), there may be a problem in the balance of heat resistance, moisture resistance, and extrusion laminate processability as well as adhesiveness.

If the density is less than 0.910 g / cm ³ , the laminate molding resin does not slide well, and handling becomes worse. In addition, when used at high temperatures such as in a microwave oven or oven, the polyethylene resin layer may foam or cause poor appearance due to insufficient heat resistance of the polyethylene layer. A material having a density exceeding 0.940 g / cm ³ is not preferable because the adhesive strength with the polyethylene terephthalate resin is poor. It has been confirmed that when the density is 0.940 g / cm ³ or less, the adhesive strength is dramatically improved.

(Ii) MFR
The melt flow rate (MFR) of the polyethylene-based resin composition (C) is preferably 1.0 to 30 g / 10 min, more preferably 2 as measured by JIS K7210 (190 ° C., 21.18 N load). 0.025 g / 10 min, most preferably 3.0-20 g / 10 min.

(Iii) Manufacturing method It is preferable to obtain a polyethylene-type resin composition (C) by mixing the polyethylene-type resin (A) and polyethylene-type resin (B) which are shown later, respectively.

When the resin (A) is less than 10% by weight and exceeds 90% by weight of the resin (B), or when the resin (A) is more than 90% by weight and less than 10% by weight of the resin (B), a polyethylene resin Inconveniences such as inability to adjust various physical properties of the composition (C) are likely to occur, and as a result, the neck-in at the time of extrusion laminating is large, resulting in inconveniences such as poor stability at the time of processing.

In the polyethylene resin composition (C), an antioxidant, a heat stabilizer, a plasticizer, a tackifier, a metal may be added to the polyethylene resin composition (C) as necessary, as long as the characteristics of the polyethylene resin composition (C) are not impaired. Additives such as soaps, neutralizers, anti-blocking agents, lubricants, dispersants, pigments, dyes, etc., antifogging agents, antistatic agents, UV absorbers, light stabilizers, nucleating agents, etc. May be.
