(Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a composite film with good heat-sealing properties. (Prior Art) A large amount of so-called composite films, which are laminated from various resins, are used in the field of packaging materials. These films generally have a heat seal layer made of a relatively low melting point resin. The resin for such a heat seal layer is required to have the following properties. (1) Good adhesion to other resins, (2) Heat sealing is possible at low temperatures and has a wide appropriate temperature range, (3) High peel resistance immediately after heat sealing, so-called hot tack. and (4) high mechanical strength such as tensile strength. The present inventors have developed an ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer (hereinafter referred to as "EAA") with a relatively low melting point.
That's what it means. ) Various studies were conducted to use the single substance as a heat seal layer. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, the above-mentioned heat seal layer However, it was not possible to obtain a product that satisfied the properties required for (heat sealing properties). (Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has discovered a heat-sealing layer that satisfies the above characteristics, and its gist is that ethylene is 50% by weight or more and acrylic acid is An ionic copolymer containing an ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer containing 15% by weight and one or more metal ions dispersed in the copolymer consisting of an α-olefin and an α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid. The present invention provides a composite film with good heat-sealability, characterized in that a layer obtained by melt-kneading the following is used as a heat-sealing layer. The present invention will be explained in detail below. In the following description, "%" indicating a ratio represents "% by weight". EAA in the present invention is a copolymer containing ethylene and acrylic acid as essential components, and may be copolymerized with other olefins or unsaturated carboxylic acids other than acrylic acid. The copolymerization ratio of ethylene monomer units is 50% or more, and the copolymerization ratio of acrylic acid monomer units is in the range of 3 to 15%. If the acrylic acid content is less than 3%, no improvement in heat sealing properties will be observed, and if it exceeds 15%, the melt viscosity will be too low, resulting in poor moldability. In addition, ionic copolymers containing one or more metal ions dispersed in a copolymer consisting of α-olefin and α,β-unsaturated carboxylic acid (hereinafter referred to as “ionic copolymers”) are Ordinary ionomers can be used, such as partial salts of ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymers with Na ions (Na type) and partial salts with Zn ions (Zn type). In the present invention, it is necessary to melt and knead the above EAA and ionic copolymer, and the mixing ratio of both resins is
EAA95~50%, ionic copolymer 5~50%
A range of 50% is preferred. 5% ionic copolymer
If it is less than 50%, no improvement effect on heat sealing property is observed, and if it exceeds 50%, no improvement effect is seen in spite of the increase, making it uneconomical. The melt-kneading method can be carried out during film formation by various manufacturing methods, but when used as a heat-sealing layer, a coextrusion method with other resins can be suitably applied. In the present invention, remarkable changes in melt index are observed due to melt kneading during film formation, for example, EAA with a melt index of 2.0 and EAA with a melt index of 2.0
When the same amount of ionic copolymer of 2.5 was used and melted and kneaded, the melt index of the resin was 1.5.
It became. Similarly, remarkable changes in the melt viscosity characteristics are seen as shown in FIG. Figure 1 is a graph showing the relationship curve between the apparent viscosity of molten resin and temperature.
40Kg/cm 2 , measured with a nozzle of 1×2 mmφ. Curve A in Figure 1 has a melt index of 7.0.
Curve B (EAA/ionic copolymer = 80/20) and curve C ( EAA/ionic copolymer = 60/40), it can be seen that the viscosity has shifted significantly to the higher viscosity side. The reason for such changes in melt index and melt viscosity is not clear, but it is likely that the metal ions contained in the ionic copolymer have chemical interactions with the acid groups of EAA through heating and melt-kneading. It is thought that this was to wake him up. Next, the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to Examples. (Example) Examples 1 to 4 EAA and ionic copolymer having the resin composition shown in Table 1 were mixed in a mixer at the ratio shown in Table 1, and then subjected to uniaxial extrusion with a diameter of 30 mm and L/D = 25. A film with a thickness of 100 μm was sampled using a T-die. Various physical properties were measured for each film obtained, and the results are shown in Table 1. Comparative Examples 1 to 3 For Comparative Examples 1 and 2, EAA used in the above example was used alone, and Comparative Example 3
Using ordinary low-density polyethylene (LDPE), the same film formation as in the example was carried out, and the physical properties of the obtained film were measured. Physical property measurement method: "MI" measures melt index in accordance with JISK-7210. Similarly, "Haze" is JISK-7105,
and "tensile strength" were measured in accordance with JISK-6761. Regarding "nylon adhesion", each film was made of 60μ thick nylon film (made of 6-nylon).
After temporary adhesion between heated rolls at 100°C, the test pieces were heated and bonded while open (200°C, 1 minute), and the T-peel strength was measured at a tensile speed of 200 mm/min.

[Table] * Unable to measure because it did not adhere. From Table 1, the films of Examples 1 to 4 of the present invention were
The transparency and tensile speed were significantly improved compared to the films of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 made only of EAA, and the films of Comparative Example 3 made only of LDPE had all of the transparency, tensile strength, and nylon adhesion. It turns out to be inferior. Examples 5 and 6 Using an inflation coextruder, 6-nylon was used as an outer layer and the composition shown in Table 2 was used as an inner layer (heat seal layer), and coextrusion molding was carried out at an annular die temperature of 230°C. A 550 mm composite film was obtained (thickness: outer layer 25μ, inner layer 40μ). Note that the EAA and ionic copolymer of the heat seal layer used in Examples 5 and 6 had the same composition as those used in Examples 3 and 4. The temperature dependence of the heat-sealing strength and hot-tack properties of the obtained composite film was measured, and the results are shown in Table 2. Comparative Example 4 Nylon 6 was used as the outer layer in Examples 5 and 6.
A film was formed in the same manner as in Examples 5 and 6 using EAA as a heat seal layer, and the physical properties of the obtained film were measured. Physical property evaluation and measurement method: "Heat seal strength" was determined using a heat sealer, heat seal bar width 10 mm, sealing pressure 3 kg/
cm 2 and a sealing time of 1 second, the heat-sealed layers of the film were sealed together under the heat-sealing temperature conditions shown in Table 2, and then the T-peel strength was measured at a sample width of 15 mm and a tensile speed of 200 mm/min. "Hot tackiness" is determined by using a sample width of 30 mm and immediately after sealing under the same conditions as for "heat sealing strength" above, a load of 200 g is applied to one side of the film to ensure that the heat seal layer does not peel off before it cools and solidifies. The length of the heat-sealed portion was measured.
The longer this length is, the worse the hot-tack properties are.
