DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION <Industrial Application Field> The present invention relates to an oxygen absorbing sheet. For more details,
This article relates to an oxygen-absorbing sheet that is easy to handle and has a controlled oxygen-absorbing capacity. Prior Art> Oxygen-absorbing rhododendrons are used in a wide range of applications for the purpose of removing oxygen when preserving food and other products where oxygen is not preferred. For example, iron powder as shown in JP-A No. 62-234544 is preferably used as an oxygen absorbent, but powder oxygen absorbers, especially fine powders, do not absorb oxygen in the air. easy to do,
In particular, iron-based oxygen absorbers are difficult to handle because they are even spontaneously flammable. The method disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 62-54704, in which oxygen-absorbing powder is packaged with a breathable material, has the problem that if the powder is not completely sealed, the powder may leak outside. In addition, the oxygen absorber reacts and hardens on the surface of the powder oxygen absorber in order to absorb oxygen from the air-permeable packaging material surface. For this reason, an absorption reaction that reaches the interior cannot be expected, and as a result, oxygen absorption characteristics proportional to the amount of absorbent filled cannot be exhibited, resulting in the problem that the oxygen absorption rate cannot be sufficiently controlled. A method for packaging oxygen absorbers is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-11643.
Although methods such as those shown in Publication No. 6 have been proposed,
Filling small amounts of oxygen absorbers accurately and at high speed is extremely difficult and requires expensive automatic filling and packaging machines. In addition, oxygen absorbers packaged in this way are often packaged together with food, and there are cases where oxygen absorbers are accidentally eaten. In addition, as a sheet type, JP-A-55-4
As shown in Japanese Patent No. 4344, there is a receipt cane made by blending an oxygen absorbent made of activated iron oxide with a thermoplastic resin such as polyethylene, but it cannot be said that the oxygen absorption capacity is necessarily sufficient. As shown in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 55-109428, a sheet or film-like perforated base material in which the pores are filled with an oxygen absorbent may cause the oxygen absorbent to fall off due to handling, or may require air permeability to prevent it from falling off. The disadvantage of those with a film layer is that they are expensive. Tokukai Showa 6
As shown in Publication No. 0-183373, a foamed polyurethane sheet having an open cell structure in which oxygen scavenger powder is embedded in the cells is difficult to stably obtain open cells industrially. However, the material itself is expensive and impractical. <Problems to be Solved by the Invention> The objects of the present invention are to provide an oxygen absorbent that is easy to handle, does not leak to the outside, can arbitrarily control the oxygen absorption capacity, and does not require the technically difficult process of filling and packaging. It is an object of the present invention to provide an oxygen absorbent that is highly effective in preventing accidental ingestion. <Means for Solving the Problems> In view of the above-mentioned iJ problem, the present inventors have conducted intensive research into an oxygen scavenger that is easy to handle, does not leak to the outside, and can arbitrarily control its oxygen absorption capacity. I have continued to do so. As a result, they discovered that the desired oxygen-absorbing sheet could be obtained by stretching a film obtained by mixing and melt-molding a thermoplastic resin and an oxygen absorber under specific conditions, leading to the completion of the present invention. Ta. That is, in the present invention, after processing a resin composition consisting of 15 to 70% by weight of a thermoplastic resin and 30 to 85% by weight of an oxygen absorber into a sheet with a thickness of 10 to 5 μm, the sheet has a thickness of 1.5 to 8 μm in at least one axis direction. This is an oxygen-absorbing sheet characterized by being stretched at a magnification of 0.0 times. The oxygen absorbing sheet of the present invention is produced by uniformly dispersing an oxygen absorbent in a thermoplastic resin by melt-kneading and then stretching the obtained film or sheet under specific conditions. ), and the oxygen absorbent uniformly dispersed in the film or sheet is in contact with the atmosphere through micropoid and can effectively absorb oxygen in the atmosphere. It has the characteristics of being able to The oxygen absorbent used in the present invention is preferably one made of iron powder or iron powder and an electrolyte, and more preferably one made of iron powder and an electrolyte. Iron powder contains iron carbide, iron oxide, etc. as iron-based subcomponents on its surface, and the content of these subcomponents is usually 0.1 to 20% by weight. The particle size of the iron powder is usually preferably about 0.1 to 100 μm, more preferably 1 to 50 μm. If the particle size is too large, the specific surface area will be small, resulting in low oxygen absorption capacity, and there is also the limitation that thin sheets cannot be formed. On the other hand, if the particle size is too small, there is the problem that the dispersibility in the thermoplastic resin deteriorates, as well as the problem that it is difficult to obtain small-sized iron powder in an industrially stable manner. In addition, iron powder has a specific surface area of 1000
cJ/g or more, preferably 1000cm2/g or more, and more preferably 5000cm2/g or more. Therefore, the best shape of iron powder is porous or similar. 1!1 Solutes promote the oxygen absorption rate of iron powder, such as halides, carbonates, sulfates, or hydroxides. Among these salts, halides are preferred, and CaC1 is more preferred.
x, NaCl, 11gc l. etc. The electrolyte is preferably used by being attached or coated on the surface of the iron powder, but it may also be used simply as a blend with the iron powder. Further, the amount of electrolyte added is preferably 0.1 to 10 wt%, but in the case of a type that is attached or coated on the surface of iron powder, the amount of addition of 0.1 to 5 wt% is most practical. If the added W exceeds 10% by weight, too much moisture will be absorbed, the entire sheet will become wet and its commercial value will be lost. The oxygen absorbent used in the present invention absorbs almost no oxygen when the humidity is low, and only absorbs oxygen in the presence of sufficient moisture (for example, in the atmosphere with a relative humidity of 50% or more), so it is easy to handle. It has the characteristic that When the content of oxygen absorbing material in the oxygen absorbing sheet of the present invention is less than 30% by weight, the generation of microvoids is small, so the number of microvoids that connect with the atmosphere is also small, and as a result, the ability to absorb atmospheric oxygen is extremely low for practical use. It cannot be provided to On the other hand, if the content exceeds 85% by weight, the resulting oxygen-absorbing sheet will become extremely weak and cannot be put to practical use. The thermoplastic resin used in the present invention includes branched low-density polyethylene obtained by a high-pressure method, ethylene and carbon atoms having 4 to 4 carbon atoms.
copolymers with α-olefins of 12, dense polyethylene, random and block copolymers of propylene with ethylene and/or butene-1, propylene homopolymers, vinyl acetate and/or (meth)acrylic acid There are one or more mixtures selected from copolymers of ester and ethylene and metal salts of copolymers of ethylene and acrylic acid. polymers, random and block copolymers of ethylene and/or butene-1 and propylene, copolymers of vinyl acetate and/or (meth)acrylic acid esters with ethylene, copolymers of ethylene and acrylic acid. Metal salts are preferred. More preferably, it is a copolymer of ethylene and an α-olefin having 4 to 12 carbon atoms, and has a density of 0.870=0.915 g/c4
, the weight average molecular chain length of the xylene extracted component (hereinafter referred to as rcxs component J) at 25°C is 1000 to 9000.
Those containing 18 to 45% by weight of the extract component for humans (hereinafter referred to as "
Examples include "very low density polyethylene") and thermoplastic resins containing at least 10% by weight of very low density polyethylene. The thermoplastic resin used in the present invention containing 10% by weight or more of ultra-low density polyethylene has good dispersibility of the oxygen absorber during melt-kneading, and the resulting sheet has excellent stretchability and can be stretched at high ratios. It is. Furthermore, ultra-low density polyethylene is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-open No. 56-9, for example.
It can be manufactured using known techniques such as No. 9209 and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 59-280011. The sheet thickness of a resin composition made of a thermoplastic resin and an oxygen absorber before stretching varies depending on the purpose of use, but if it is less than IO μm, an oxygen absorbing sheet with a very large area is required to obtain the desired oxygen absorption capacity. In some cases, it may be necessary to use a packaged food product, which causes the problem that it is larger and more conspicuous than the packaged food itself. On the other hand, if the length exceeds 5 m, it may be difficult to bring the sheet to a uniform stretching temperature during stretching after sheet processing, and uniform stretching may not be possible, or the stretching stress may be so large that it may not be possible with normal equipment. Furthermore, if the stretching ratio of the obtained sheet is less than 1.5 times, the generation of microvoids is small and the uniformly dispersed oxygen absorbent cannot sufficiently contact the atmosphere, making it impossible to obtain a sufficient oxygen absorption capacity for practical use. Further, if the ratio exceeds 8.0 times, the resulting oxygen-absorbing sheet will have a marked decrease in film strength such as tearing, and will be damaged by a slight external force, so it cannot be put to practical use.

The stretching temperature of the sheet is 5° below the melting point of the thermoplastic resin.
It is sufficient to set the temperature to about .degree. C. or less, but for example, in the case of polyolefin resins, temperatures from room temperature to about 70.degree. C. are often used. The composition for obtaining the oxygen-absorbing sheet of the present invention may contain antioxidants, dispersants, antistatic agents, deodorants, bactericides, etc. to the extent that the effects of the present invention are not substantially impaired. Can be combined. The method for producing the oxygen absorbing sheet of the present invention is, for example, as follows. First, a composition is obtained by mixing or kneading a thermoplastic resin and an oxygen absorbent by a conventional method using a roll-type or Banbury-type kneader, a single-screw or twin-screw extruder, or the like. Next, a film or sheet is produced from this composition by a conventional forming method such as inflation processing, calendar processing, T-die processing, etc., and the obtained film or sheet is stretched, and the stretching is carried out using a single shaft or two wheels. In the case of uniaxial stretching, roll stretching is usually preferred, but tubular stretching may also be used. Furthermore, stretching can be done in one stage or in two or more stages, and in the case of biaxial stretching, it may be simultaneous two-wheel stretching, or sequential biaxial stretching in which stretching is performed in the longitudinal direction and then in the transverse direction. In this way, the production of oxygen-absorbing sheets involves the steps of producing a resin composition consisting of a mature plastic resin and an oxygen absorbent, forming and stretching a film or sheet, and these steps may be performed continuously or individually. Good too. <Examples> The present invention will be explained in detail below using examples, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The methods for measuring the physical properties shown in Examples and Comparative Examples are as follows. Oxygen absorption rate: The oxygen absorption rate was determined by placing the oxygen absorbing sheet in a closed container at a ratio of 3.7g to 1i of air, and calculating the average absorption rate from the amount absorbed in the initial 4 hours. A closed container is a cylindrical glass container with a scale that is placed above the water surface, and the volume that decreases when oxygen is absorbed is occupied by water. Weight average molecular chain length: The weight average molecular chain length of the CXS component is

This composition was processed using a 65-φ extruder manufactured by Minamisenju Seisakusho.
Die molding (Die width 700m, die limb opening 0.7m
) L. , a sheet with a thickness of 1 loaf was obtained. The temperature of the extruder was 250°C for cylinder 1, and 280°C for cylinders 2, 3, head, and die.
The film was stretched 3.2 times in the MD with C, and as shown in Table 1, the oxygen absorption rate was 12.0 cm2/Hr, which is sufficient for practical use as an oxygen absorbent. In addition, this oxygen-absorbing sheet absorbs almost no oxygen when the humidity is low, but it only absorbs oxygen in the presence of sufficient moisture, so it is not only a sheet that is easy to handle, but also has a good function and action control. It was also extremely easy to handle. Furthermore, no release of the oxygen absorbent from the sheet was observed. Examples 2 to 6 Oxygen-absorbing sheets were obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the tree TM compositions having the components and blending ratios shown in Tables 1 and 2 were used. These oxygen absorbing sheets not only had excellent performance as shown in Table 1, but also showed excellent results in terms of ease of handling and release of the oxygen absorbent, as in Example 1. Comparative Examples 1 to 4 Oxygen-absorbing sheets were obtained in the same manner as in Example 1, except that resin compositions having the components and blending ratios shown in Tables 1 and 2 were used. However, as shown in Table 1, only oxygen absorbing sheets with little or no performance can be obtained, or no oxygen absorbing sheets can be obtained at all. <Effects of the Invention> According to the present invention, as described in the claims, a resin composition containing a specific thermoplastic resin and a specific oxygen absorber in a specific ratio can be processed under a specific stretching ratio. According to
We were able to obtain an oxygen-absorbing sheet that is easy to handle, has no leakage of the oxygen-absorbing agent to the outside, can control its oxygen-absorbing capacity at will, does not require a filling and packaging process, and is highly effective in preventing accidental ingestion. Furthermore, it is worth noting that by using a specific oxygen absorber, the sheet processing process and handling up to actual use can be carried out freely in normal atmosphere without worrying about oxygen absorption. This effect is due to the use of a specific thermoplastic resin and a specific oxygen absorber to uniformly disperse the oxygen absorber in the thermoplastic resin, and the specificity of the resulting resin composition. This is also due to the fact that by processing at a stretching ratio of , many microvoids communicating with the atmosphere are generated between the oxygen absorbent and the thermoplastic resin, and as a result, the area of the oxygen absorbent in contact with the atmosphere is increased. The oxygen absorbing sheet obtained by the present invention can be used not only for packaging processed foods such as high water content foods and general foods by taking advantage of its characteristics.
It can be used for packaging fruits, vegetables, flowers, etc., packaging for mechanical parts, packaging for pharmaceuticals, etc. It can also be used in combination with other base materials depending on the purpose of use. \
