JP6895135B2 - Barrier laminate, packaging container provided with the barrier laminate - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a barrier laminate and a packaging container including the barrier laminate.

Conventionally, a film made of polyester such as polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter, also referred to as polyester film) is excellent in mechanical properties, chemical stability, heat resistance and transparency, and is inexpensive, so that it is used for manufacturing packaging containers. It is used as a base material constituting the laminated body to be formed.

Depending on the contents to be filled in the packaging container, the packaging container is required to have gas barrier properties such as high oxygen barrier property and water vapor barrier property. In order to meet these requirements, a vapor-deposited film containing alumina, silica, etc. is formed on the surface of the polyester film. It is widely used to form (Patent Document 1).

By the way, in recent years, a search for a resin material to replace a polyester film has been conducted, and application of a polyolefin film, particularly a polypropylene film, to a base material is being studied.

In addition, the stretching in the lateral direction may be performed first.

(Packaging container)
The packaging container of the present invention is characterized by comprising the above-mentioned barrier laminate. Examples of the packaging container include a packaging product (packaging bag), a lid material, and a laminated tube.

As a packaging bag, for example, standing pouch type, side seal type, two-way seal type, three-way seal type, four-way seal type, envelope-attached seal type, gassho-attached seal type (pillow-seal type), fold-attached seal type, flat-bottom seal type. , Various types of packaging bags such as a square bottom seal type and a gusset type.

As shown in FIG. 10, the packaging container of the present invention is a packaging bag 30 in which two barrier laminates are bonded together (the shaded area is a heat-sealed portion).
When the tensile strength of the multilayer base material in the vertical direction (MD direction) is larger than the tensile strength in the horizontal direction (TD direction), the vertical direction (MD direction) of the multilayer base material is in the horizontal direction of the packaging bag 30. It is preferable to prepare the packaging bag so that the horizontal direction (TD direction) of the multilayer base material corresponds to the vertical direction of the packaging bag 30. With such a configuration, it becomes extremely easy to tear the packaging container in the lateral direction. The same applies to the packaging containers illustrated below.

As shown in FIG. 11, the packaging container of the present invention is a standing pouch 40.
FIG. 11 is a diagram briefly showing an example of the configuration of the standing pouch. As shown in FIG. 11, the standing pouch 40 is composed of a body portion (side sheet) 41 and a bottom portion (bottom sheet) 42.
At least one of the side sheet 41 and the bottom sheet 42 included in the standing pouch 40 is composed of the barrier laminate of the present invention.

In one embodiment, the body portion 41 included in the standing pouch 40 can be formed by making a bag so that the sealant layer included in the barrier laminate of the present invention is the innermost layer.
In another embodiment, for the side sheet 41, two barrier laminates of the present invention are prepared, these are laminated so that the sealant layers face each other, and the sealant layer is formed from both ends of the laminated barrier laminate. It can be formed by inserting two V-shaped laminated bodies and heat-sealing them so that the surface is on the outside. According to such a manufacturing method, a stand pouch having a body portion with a side gusset can be obtained.

Further, in one embodiment, the bottom sheet 42 included in the standing pouch 40 can be formed by inserting the barrier laminate of the present invention between the bag-made side sheets and heat-sealing. More specifically, the barrier laminate can be formed by folding it in a V shape so that the sealant layer is on the outside, inserting it between the bag-made side sheets, and heat-sealing it.

Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the packaging container may be provided with the easy-opening means 51.
Examples of the easy-opening means 51 include a notch portion 52 which is a starting point of tearing and a half-cut line 53 formed by laser processing or a cutter as a path for tearing, as shown in FIG.

Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the packaging container may be provided with the steam venting mechanism 50. When the steam pressure inside the packaging container exceeds a predetermined value, the steam bleeding mechanism 50 communicates the inside and the outside of the packaging container to allow steam to escape and to release steam at a place other than the steam bleeding mechanism 50. It is configured to suppress.
The steam bleeding mechanism 50 includes a steam bleeding seal portion 50a projecting from the side seal portion toward the inside of the packaging container, and a non-seal portion 50b isolated from the contents accommodating portion by the steam bleeding seal portion 50a.
The non-seal portion 50b communicates with the outside for easy packaging. By heating the packaging container in which the contents are filled and the opening is heat-sealed by a microwave oven or the like, the internal pressure is increased and the steam-sealed portion 50a is peeled off. The steam passes through the peeled portion of the steam seal 50a and the non-sealed portion 50b, and escapes to the outside of the packaging container.

As a heat sealing method, for example, a known method such as a bar seal, a rotary roll seal, a belt seal, an impulse seal, a high frequency seal, or an ultrasonic seal can be used.

The contents to be filled in the packaging container are not particularly limited, and the contents may be a liquid, a powder or a gel. Moreover, it may be food or non-food.

<< Gas barrier property evaluation (after lamination) >>
The barrier laminates obtained in Examples 3 to 9 were cut out to obtain test pieces. Using this test piece, oxygen permeability (cc / m ² · day · atm) and water vapor permeability (g / m ² · day) were measured in the same manner as described above. The results are summarized in Tables 2-8. In Tables 2 to 8, the units of oxygen permeability and vapor permeability are omitted.

<< Gas barrier property evaluation (after Gelboflex test) >>
Using the barrier layer body obtained in Examples 3 to 9, a tubular bag was prepared. Using this bag, the ASTM F392 compliant Gelboflex test was repeated 10 times.
Then, the barrier laminate was cut out from the bag to obtain a test piece. Using this test piece, the oxygen permeability (cc / m ² · day · atm) and the water vapor transmission rate (g / m ² · day) were measured in the same manner as described above. The results are summarized in Tables 2-8. In Tables 2 to 8, the units of oxygen permeability and vapor permeability are omitted.
