The present invention relates to a multilayer film, and more particularly to a multilayer film that has excellent cold resistance and is suitable for automatic packaging. Conventionally, food products such as bread, boxed confectionery, and cigarettes have been wrapped in overlap packaging, and stretch packaging has been used for food packaging, such as tray packaging. These types of packaging are performed by wrapping the product using a packaging material and then heat-sealing it, and the film used as the packaging material is required to have a wide heat-sealing temperature range in addition to appropriate rigidity. ing. To meet this requirement, a multilayer film has been proposed in which polypropylene is used as an intermediate layer and low-density polyethylene or ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is laminated on both sides of the intermediate layer. However, although these films meet the above requirements, they have a major drawback in that they are extremely poor in cold resistance and easily break when used in extremely cold seasons or in cold regions. For this reason, in addition to blending ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer into the polypropylene that forms the middle layer, or mixing ethylene with propylene, low-density polyethylene and high-density polyethylene are used between the middle layer and both outer layers. It has been proposed to provide a blend layer of density polyethylene to form a five-layer film. however,
These films have drawbacks such as reduced suitability for automatic packaging due to reduced rigidity and heat resistance, and are expensive due to complicated manufacturing methods. Not yet. The present invention solves the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, has good cold resistance, eliminates the risk of bag tearing even when used in extremely cold seasons or in cold regions, has appropriate film rigidity, and has heat resistance. The object of the present invention is to provide a multilayer film that is excellent in packaging properties and suitable for automatic packaging. That is, in the present invention, a layer made of a resin composition blended with a polypropylene resin and a low-crystalline ethylene-α-olefin copolymer is used as an intermediate layer, and an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer is coated on both sides of the intermediate layer. The present invention provides a multilayer film in which an outer layer is formed. In the multilayer film of the present invention, a resin composition containing a polypropylene resin and a low crystalline ethylene-α-olefin copolymer as described above is used as the intermediate layer. Various types of polypropylene resins can be used here, but generally the density is
It is in the range of 0.895 to 0.915 g/cm 3 and the melt index (MI) is in the range of 1.0 to 20 g/10 min. These polypropylene resins include propylene homopolymers, propylene and
Not more than 3% by weight, preferably not more than 3% by weight of other α-
Olefin (ethylene, butene-1, hexene-
Examples include random copolymers with 1,4-methylpentene-1, etc.). Among these, by using a propylene homopolymer, a multilayer film with even better heat resistance can be obtained. Furthermore, the low crystalline ethylene-α-olefin copolymer as the other component in the resin composition forming the intermediate layer of the multilayer film of the present invention includes ethylene and α-olefin having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, such as ethylene and α-olefin having 3 to 20 carbon atoms. Propylene, butene-1, pentene-1, hexene-1
Ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR) and ethylene-butene-1 copolymer are particularly preferably used. These copolymers may be terpolymers with dienes such as 1,4-hexadiene and 5-methylene-2-norbornane as the third component. The density of these copolymers is usually 0.85 to 0.91 g/cm 3 , preferably 0.85 to 0.90 g/cm 3 . Further, the ethylene content is 40 to 90 mol%, and the crystallinity is 20 or less. If the degree of crystallinity exceeds 20, the cold resistance, which is the objective of the present invention, cannot be improved. The blending ratio of the polypropylene resin and the low crystalline ethylene-α-olefin copolymer is usually 78-90% by weight of the former and 22-10% by weight of the latter, preferably 80-85% by weight of the former and the latter. It is 20-15% by weight. Here, the latter low crystalline ethylene-α-
If the blending ratio of the olefin copolymer is less than 10% by weight, there will be no effect of improving cold resistance;
If it exceeds 22% by weight, the heat resistance and rigidity will decrease and the heat sealing temperature range will become narrow, which is not preferable. Next, both outer layers formed on both sides of the intermediate layer are made of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. The vinyl acetate content of this copolymer is 3 to 50% by weight, preferably 5 to 30% by weight, and the MI is 1.
~50 g/10 min, preferably 2-30 g/10 min. Further, the density is 0.910 to 0.950 g/cm 3 , preferably 0.920 to 0.940 g/cm 3 . The ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers forming both outer layers may be the same or different. The multilayer film of the present invention is composed of three layers, the above-mentioned intermediate layer and both outer layers, and the ratio of outer layer:intermediate layer:outer layer is not particularly limited, and when used for overlap packaging, it is 3 to 20:94 to 60: The ratio is 3 to 20, preferably 4 to 10:92 to 80:4 to 10. Here, if the ratio of each layer is outside the range, the sealing temperature range during heat sealing will be narrowed, which is not preferable. When used for stretch packaging, the ratio of outer layer: middle layer: outer layer is 5 to 40:90 to 20:5 to 40, preferably 10 to 30:80.
~40:10-30. If the ratio of each layer is outside this range, the suitability for stretch packaging will be insufficient, which is undesirable. The multilayer film of the present invention is molded by a coextrusion method, more specifically an inflation method using a circular die, a T film method using a flat die, etc.
A die coextrusion method is applied. The multilayer film of the present invention as described above comprises a polypropylene resin and a low crystalline ethylene resin as an intermediate layer.
Because it uses a layer made of a resin composition containing an α-olefin copolymer, it has good cold resistance and high low-temperature impact strength, and the bag does not break even when used in extremely cold seasons or in cold regions. There is no danger. Further, the multilayer film of the present invention has moderate film rigidity, excellent heat resistance, and has a wide allowable temperature range for heat sealing, making it suitable for automatic packaging. Therefore, the multilayer film of the present invention is extremely useful as an overlapping packaging material for foods, miscellaneous goods, etc., and as a stretch packaging material. Next, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to Examples. Examples 1 to 4 Polypropylene homopolymer (homo-PP) as a component of the intermediate layer (density 0.91 g/cm 3 , MI 7 g/10 min)
and low crystalline ethylene-propylene copolymer (EPR) (density 0.86 g/cm 3 , MI 2.1 g/cm 3 10 min (190°C), Mooney viscosity ML 1+4 (100°C) 20, propylene content 23 wt. %) in the predetermined proportions shown in Table 1, both outer layers (i.e.
Ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) (density 0.927g/cm 3 , MI9g/10) as a component of the inner layer and outer layer)
These raw materials were melt-kneaded and extruded using three extrusion molding machines.
Coextruded from a three-layer multi-manifold type T-die at a temperature of 240°C, the layer ratio of outer layer/middle layer/inner layer is 3/
A 25μ thick three-layer film of 44/3 was obtained. Comparative Examples 1 to 4 The measurement results of various physical properties of the obtained three-layer film and the practical evaluation results in the overlap packaging machine are shown in Table 1.Comparative Examples 1 to 4 In Examples 1 to 4, the components of the intermediate layer were variously changed as shown in Table 1. A three-layer film was obtained in the same manner as in Examples 1 to 4 except for the above. Table 1 shows the measurement results of various physical properties of the obtained three-layer film and the results of practical evaluation on an overlap packaging machine.
