JP7482385B2 - Laminate and packaging bag - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a laminate used for producing packaging bags and the like. The present invention also relates to a packaging bag made of the laminate.

Conventionally, resin films made of resin materials have been used as materials for making packaging bags. For example, resin films made of polyolefins have moderate flexibility and transparency, as well as excellent heat sealability, and are therefore widely used for packaging bags.

Normally, resin films made of polyolefins are inferior in terms of strength and heat resistance and cannot be used as a base material for constructing packaging bags, etc., and are used by laminating them with resin films made of polyester, polyamide, etc. For this reason, normal packaging bags are composed of a laminate in which the base material and the sealant layer are made of different types of resin materials (for example, Patent Document 1).

In recent years, with the growing demand for a recycling-oriented society, there is a demand for packaging bags and other items with high recyclability. However, as mentioned above, conventional packaging bags are made up of different resin materials, and because it is difficult to separate the individual resin materials, they are not currently recycled.

JP 2009-202519 A

The present inventors have found that by subjecting a polyethylene film or a polypropylene film to at least one of a stretching treatment and an electron beam irradiation treatment, the strength and heat resistance of the film can be significantly improved, making it possible to use the film as a substrate in a laminate used in the manufacture of packaging bags, etc. Furthermore, the present inventors have found that by forming the sealant layer from a polyolefin, like the substrate, the recyclability of the laminate can be significantly improved.

The laminate of the present invention may also include an adhesive layer between any of the layers (not shown).
Additionally, the laminate of the present invention may include an intermediate layer (not shown) between the substrate and the sealant layer.

(Base material)
The substrate constituting the laminate of the present invention is made of polyethylene or polypropylene, and is characterized by having been subjected to at least one of a stretching treatment and an electron beam irradiation treatment.
By carrying out the stretching treatment and electron beam irradiation treatment, the heat resistance and strength of the substrate can be significantly improved, and the physical properties required for the outer layer of a packaging bag or the like can be satisfied.
When the substrate has been subjected to electron beam irradiation treatment, the substrate is provided so that the surface of the substrate irradiated with electron beams becomes the outermost surface of the laminate.

As the polyethylene, high density polyethylene, medium density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene and very low density polyethylene can be used.
Among these, high density polyethylene and medium density polyethylene are preferred from the viewpoint of the strength and heat resistance of the substrate, and medium density polyethylene is more preferred from the viewpoint of stretchability.

In the present invention, the high-density polyethylene may be polyethylene having a density of 0.945 g/ ^cm3 or more, the medium-density polyethylene may be polyethylene having a density of 0.925 g/ ^cm3 or more and less than 0.945 g/ ^cm3 , the low-density polyethylene may be polyethylene having a density of 0.900 g/ ^cm3 or more and less than 0.925 g/ ^cm3 , the linear low-density polyethylene may be polyethylene having a density of 0.900 g/ ^cm3 or more and less than 0.925 g/ ^cm3 , and the very low-density polyethylene may be polyethylene having a density less than 0.900 g/ ^cm3 .

In addition, as long as the characteristics of the present invention are not impaired, copolymers of ethylene and other monomers can also be used as the polyethylene. Examples of ethylene copolymers include copolymers of ethylene and α-olefins having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, and examples of α-olefins having 3 to 20 carbon atoms include propylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-octene, 1-decene, 1-dodecene, 1-tetradecene, 1-hexadecene, 1-octadecene, 1-eicosene, 3-methyl-1-butene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, and 6-methyl-1-heptene. In addition, as long as the objective of the present invention is not impaired, copolymers with vinyl acetate or acrylic esters may also be used.

In the present invention, the substrate preferably contains biomass-derived polyethylene. Biomass-derived polyethylene is a material that uses biomass-derived ethylene instead of ethylene obtained from fossil fuels as a raw material. Since such biomass-derived polyethylene is a carbon-neutral material, it is possible to reduce the environmental impact of producing the laminate. Such biomass-derived polyethylene can be produced, for example, by a method such as that described in JP 2013-177531 A. Commercially available biomass-derived polyethylene (for example, Green PE available from Braskem) may also be used.

It is also possible to use polyethylene that has been recycled through mechanical recycling. Mechanical recycling generally refers to a method in which collected polyethylene film is crushed and washed with an alkali to remove dirt and foreign matter from the film surface, and then dried at high temperature and reduced pressure for a certain period of time to diffuse and decontaminate the contaminants remaining inside the film, removing dirt from the polyethylene film and returning it to polyethylene.

When a packaging bag made of the laminate of the present invention is filled with contents and subjected to retort treatment, the base material and the sealant layer are preferably made of polypropylene from the viewpoint of suitability for retort treatment.
The polypropylene may be a homopolymer, a random copolymer or a block copolymer.
A polypropylene homopolymer is a polymer of propylene alone, a polypropylene random copolymer is a random copolymer of propylene and an α-olefin other than propylene (e.g., ethylene, butene-1, 4-methyl-1-pentene, etc.), and a polypropylene block copolymer is a copolymer having a polymer block of propylene and a polymer block of the above-mentioned α-olefin other than propylene.
Among these polypropylenes, it is preferable to use a homopolymer or a random copolymer from the viewpoint of improving the transparency of the substrate and improving the visibility of an image formed on the adhesive layer side surface of the substrate. When the rigidity and heat resistance of the packaging bag are important, a homopolymer can be used, and when impact resistance and the like are important, a random copolymer can be used.

It is also possible to use polypropylene derived from biomass or polypropylene recycled through mechanical recycling.

From the viewpoint of strength and heat resistance, it is preferable that the crosslink density of the polyethylene as a whole is improved by electron beam irradiation.

(Barrier Coat Layer)
The laminate of the present invention is characterized in that it has a barrier coat layer between the substrate and the light-shielding printed layer, or between the substrate and the sealant layer having a light-shielding layer, thereby improving the oxygen barrier property and water vapor barrier property of the laminate.

In one embodiment, the barrier coat layer is a gas barrier coating film containing at least one resin composition such as a hydrolysate of a metal alkoxide or a hydrolysis condensate of a metal alkoxide obtained by polycondensing a mixture of a metal alkoxide and a water-soluble polymer by a sol-gel method in the presence of a sol-gel catalyst, water, an organic solvent, and the like.
When the laminate of the present invention includes a vapor-deposited film made of an inorganic oxide, the barrier coat layer of this type is provided adjacent to the vapor-deposited film, thereby making it possible to effectively prevent the occurrence of cracks in the vapor-deposited film.

In one embodiment, the metal alkoxide is represented by the following general formula:
R ¹ _n M (OR ² ) _m
(In the formula, R ¹ and R ² each represent an organic group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, M represents a metal atom, n represents an integer of 0 or more, m represents an integer of 1 or more, and n+m represents the atomic valence of M.)

As the metal atom M, for example, silicon, zirconium, titanium, aluminum, etc. can be used.
Examples of the organic group represented by R ¹ and R ² include alkyl groups such as a methyl group, an ethyl group, an n-propyl group, an i-propyl group, an n-butyl group, and an i-butyl group.

Examples of metal alkoxides satisfying the above general formula include tetramethoxysilane (Si( _OCH3 ) _{4 )} , tetraethoxysilane (mass %) Si( _{OC2H5 ) 4} ), tetrapropoxysilane (Si( _OC3H7 ) ₄ ), and _{tetrabutoxysilane} (Si( _OC4H9 ) ₄ ).

It is also preferable to use a silane coupling agent together with the metal alkoxide.
As the silane coupling agent, a known organoalkoxysilane containing an organic reactive group can be used, and in particular, an organoalkoxysilane having an epoxy group is preferred. Examples of organoalkoxysilane having an epoxy group include γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-glycidoxypropylmethyldiethoxysilane, and β-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyltrimethoxysilane.

Two or more of the above silane coupling agents may be used, and it is preferable to use the silane coupling agent in an amount within the range of about 1 to 20 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the alkoxide.

As water-soluble polymers, polyvinyl alcohol and ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers are preferred, and from the viewpoints of oxygen barrier properties, water vapor barrier properties, water resistance, and weather resistance, it is preferable to use these in combination.

The content of the water-soluble polymer in the gas barrier coating film is preferably 5 parts by mass or more and 500 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the metal alkoxide.
By setting the content of the water-soluble polymer in the gas barrier coating film to 5 parts by mass or more per 100 parts by mass of the metal alkoxide, the oxygen barrier property and water vapor barrier property of the laminate can be further improved. Also, by setting the content of the water-soluble polymer in the gas barrier coating film to 500 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the metal alkoxide, the film formability of the gas barrier coating film can be improved.

The thickness of the gas barrier coating film is preferably 0.01 μm or more and 100 μm or less, and more preferably 0.1 μm or more and 50 μm or less, which can further improve the oxygen barrier property and water vapor barrier property while maintaining recyclability.
By making the thickness of the gas barrier coating film 0.01 μm or more, the oxygen barrier property and water vapor barrier property of the laminate can be improved. Furthermore, when the gas barrier coating film is provided adjacent to a vapor-deposited film made of an inorganic oxide, the occurrence of cracks in the vapor-deposited film can be prevented.

The gas barrier coating film can be formed by applying a composition containing the above-mentioned materials by a conventionally known means such as roll coating using a gravure roll coater or the like, spray coating, spin coating, dipping, brushing, bar coding, or an applicator, and then polycondensing the composition by a sol-gel method.
The sol-gel catalyst is preferably an acid or an amine compound. As the amine compound, a tertiary amine that is substantially insoluble in water and soluble in an organic solvent is preferable, and examples thereof include N,N-dimethylbenzylamine, tripropylamine, tributylamine, and tripentylamine. Among these, N,N-dimethylbenzylamine is preferable.
The sol-gel catalyst is preferably used in the range of 0.01 to 1.0 part by mass, and more preferably 0.03 to 0.3 part by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the metal alkoxide.
By using a sol-gel catalyst in an amount of 0.01 part by mass or more per 100 parts by mass of the metal alkoxide, the catalytic effect can be improved, and by using a sol-gel catalyst in an amount of 1.0 part by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the metal alkoxide, the thickness of the gas barrier coating film formed can be made uniform.

The composition may further contain an acid, which is used as a catalyst in the sol-gel process, mainly for the hydrolysis of alkoxides, silane coupling agents, etc.
The acid may be a mineral acid such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, or nitric acid, or an organic acid such as acetic acid, tartaric acid, etc. The amount of the acid used is preferably 0.001 mol or more and 0.05 mol or less based on the total molar amount of the alkoxide and the alkoxide portion (e.g., silicate portion) of the silane coupling agent.
The amount of acid used is 0.001 mole or more relative to the total molar amount of the alkoxide and the alkoxide portion (e.g., silicate portion) of the silane coupling agent, thereby improving the catalytic effect. Also, the amount of acid used is 0.05 mole or less relative to the total molar amount of the alkoxide and the alkoxide portion (e.g., silicate portion) of the silane coupling agent, thereby making the thickness of the gas barrier coating film formed uniform.

The composition preferably contains water in an amount of 0.1 to 100 moles, more preferably 0.8 to 2 moles, per mole of the total amount of alkoxides.
By controlling the water content to 0.1 mole or more per mole of the total molar amount of the alkoxides, the oxygen barrier property and water vapor barrier property of the laminate of the present invention can be improved. Also, by controlling the water content to 100 moles or more per mole of the total molar amount of the alkoxides, the hydrolysis reaction can be carried out quickly.

The composition may also contain an organic solvent. Examples of the organic solvent that can be used include methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, n-propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, and n-butanol.

Hereinafter, one embodiment of the method for forming a gas barrier coating film will be described.
First, a composition is prepared by mixing a metal alkoxide, a water-soluble polymer, a sol-gel catalyst, water, an organic solvent, and optionally a silane coupling agent, etc. In the composition, a polycondensation reaction gradually proceeds.
Next, the composition is applied onto a substrate by the above-mentioned conventionally known method and dried. This drying process further advances the polycondensation reaction between the alkoxide and the water-soluble polymer (and the silane coupling agent, if the composition contains a silane coupling agent) to form a composite polymer layer.
Finally, the composition is heated at a temperature of 20 to 250° C., preferably 50 to 220° C., for 1 second to 10 minutes to form a gas barrier coating film.

The barrier coat layer may have a printed layer formed thereon. The method for forming the printed layer is as described above.

The barrier coat layer may contain the above additives as long as they do not impair the properties of the present invention.

(Vapor-deposited film)
In one embodiment, the laminate of the present invention may have a deposition film between the substrate and the barrier coat layer, between the barrier coat layer and the sealant layer, or between the barrier coat layer and the light-shielding print layer. This can improve the gas barrier properties of the laminate, specifically, the oxygen barrier properties and water vapor barrier properties. In addition, it can suppress the weight loss of the contents filled in the packaging bag produced using the laminate of the present invention.

Examples of vapor-deposited films include those composed of metals such as aluminum, and inorganic oxides such as aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, zirconium oxide, titanium oxide, boron oxide, hafnium oxide, and barium oxide.

The thickness of the vapor-deposited film is preferably 1 nm or more and 150 nm or less, more preferably 5 nm or more and 60 nm or less, and even more preferably 10 nm or more and 40 nm or less. By making the thickness of the vapor-deposited film 1 nm or more, the oxygen barrier property and water vapor barrier property of the laminate can be further improved. Furthermore, by making the thickness of the vapor-deposited film 150 nm or less, the occurrence of cracks in the vapor-deposited film can be prevented. Furthermore, the recyclability of the laminate can be maintained.

The deposition film on the substrate can be formed by a conventional method, for example, physical vapor deposition methods (PVD method) such as vacuum deposition, sputtering, and ion plating, as well as chemical vapor deposition methods (CVD method) such as plasma chemical vapor deposition, thermal chemical vapor deposition, and photochemical vapor deposition.

Also, for example, a composite film consisting of two or more layers of vapor-deposited films of different inorganic oxides can be formed and used by combining both physical vapor deposition and chemical vapor deposition. The degree of vacuum in the vapor deposition chamber is preferably about 10 ^-2 to 10 ^-8 mbar before oxygen is introduced, and about 10 ^-1 to 10 ^-6 mbar after oxygen is introduced. The amount of oxygen introduced varies depending on the size of the vapor deposition machine. For the oxygen to be introduced, an inert gas such as argon gas, helium gas, or nitrogen gas may be used as a carrier gas to the extent that no problems occur. The film transport speed can be about 10 to 800 m/min.

It is preferable that the surface of the deposited film is subjected to the above-mentioned surface treatment. This can improve adhesion to adjacent layers.

(Adhesive Layer)
The adhesive layer may be formed of a conventionally known adhesive. The adhesive may be a one-component curing type, a two-component curing type, or a non-curing type.
The adhesive may be either a solvent-free adhesive or a solvent-based adhesive, but from the standpoint of environmental impact, a solvent-free adhesive is preferably used.
Examples of solvent-free adhesives include polyether adhesives, polyester adhesives, silicone adhesives, epoxy adhesives, and urethane adhesives. Among these, two-component curing urethane adhesives can be preferably used.
Examples of the solvent-based adhesive include rubber-based adhesives, vinyl-based adhesives, silicone-based adhesives, epoxy-based adhesives, phenol-based adhesives, and olefin-based adhesives.

Furthermore, when the laminate of the present invention includes an aluminum vapor-deposited film, the adhesive layer provided adjacent to the aluminum vapor-deposited film is preferably made of a cured product of a resin composition containing a polyester polyol, an isocyanate compound, and a phosphoric acid-modified compound.
When forming a laminate with a vapor-deposited film into a packaging bag, a bending load is applied to the laminate by a molding machine or the like, which may cause cracks in the aluminum vapor-deposited film. By configuring the adhesive layer as described above, it is possible to prevent cracks from occurring in the aluminum vapor-deposited film, and even if cracks do occur, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the oxygen barrier property and water vapor barrier property (flexural load resistance).

Polyester polyols have two or more hydroxyl groups as functional groups in one molecule. Also, isocyanate compounds have two or more isocyanate groups as functional groups in one molecule. Polyester polyols have, for example, a polyester structure or a polyester polyurethane structure as the main skeleton.

Specific examples of resin compositions (adhesives) containing polyester polyol, isocyanate compounds, and phosphoric acid-modified compounds include the PASLIM series sold by DIC Corporation.

The resin composition may further contain a plate-like inorganic compound, a coupling agent, cyclodextrin and/or its derivatives, etc.
