Description
本発明は、加熱成形時などにおける耐熱性に優れるとともに、容器内面と収容物とのスティッキングを有効に回避でき、さらには、蓋材の易剥離性をも備えた医療用包装容器として好適な包装容器、及びそのような包装容器に用いるのに好適な医療用包装シートに関する。 The present invention is excellent in heat resistance at the time of thermoforming and the like, can effectively avoid sticking between the inner surface of the container and the contents, and further suitable for use as a medical packaging container having easy peelability of the lid. The present invention relates to a container and a medical packaging sheet suitable for use in such a packaging container.
例えば、医療用包装容器として、容器本体に、空気透過性及びバクテリアバリア性を備えた滅菌紙などからなる蓋材をヒートシールしたものが知られている。このような医療用包装容器の一例として、特許文献1には、容器本体の容器内面側となる面の全面に接着材を積層し、これに蓋材をヒートシールしたものが開示されている。特許文献1は、従来、蓋材側に設けられていた接着材を、容器本体側に設けることで、蓋材の空気透過性を損なうことなく、完全な密封が可能になるとしている。 For example, a medical packaging container is known in which a container body is heat-sealed with a lid made of sterilized paper having air permeability and bacteria barrier properties. As an example of such a medical packaging container, Patent Document 1 discloses a structure in which an adhesive is laminated on the entire surface of the container main body which is the inner surface of the container, and a lid material is heat sealed. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-133867 discloses that the sealing material can be completely sealed without impairing the air permeability of the lid material by providing the adhesive material conventionally provided on the lid material side on the container body side.
しかしながら、熱可塑性樹脂シートを熱板に挟んで加熱し、プラグアシスト式の圧空成形により成形するなどして所望の容器形状に成形する方法が知られているが、本出願人が鋭意研究を重ねたところ、このような成形方法を特許文献1に開示されたもの(段落番号[0020]、[0021])に適用すると、熱板による加熱時に接着材が熱板に付着してしまうことがあるという問題が見出された。加熱温度を低くすれば、このような問題は回避できるが、そうすると今度はシートに内部歪みが残ったまま容器形状に成形することになり、滅菌処理時の加熱などによって容器が変形してしまうという新たな問題が生じてしまう。 However, there is a known method of forming a desired container shape by heating a thermoplastic resin sheet between hot plates and forming it by plug-assisted pressure forming, but the applicant has conducted extensive research. As a result, when such a molding method is applied to the one disclosed in Patent Document 1 (paragraph numbers [0020] and [0021]), the adhesive may adhere to the hot plate when heated by the hot plate. The problem was found. If the heating temperature is lowered, such a problem can be avoided, but in this case, the sheet will be formed into a container shape with the internal distortion remaining in the sheet, and the container will be deformed due to heating during sterilization. New problems will arise.
また、特許文献1では、容器の内面側に接着材を設けても、接着材は収容物に何ら不具合を与えることはないとしているが(段落番号[0021])、特許文献1のように、容器内面側の全面に接着材を設けた場合には、接着材と内容物とのはりつき(スティッキング)が生じるという問題も見受けられた。特に、注射器などの医療用器具を収容する医療用包装材にあっては、100℃を超える高い温度で滅菌処理を行う必要があるため、高温環境下に曝された接着材が溶融又は軟化して、内容物に付着してしまうものがあった。 Further, in Patent Document 1, even if an adhesive is provided on the inner surface side of the container, the adhesive does not give any trouble to the contents (paragraph number [0021]). However, as in Patent Document 1, In the case where an adhesive is provided on the entire inner surface of the container, there has also been a problem that sticking (sticking) between the adhesive and the contents occurs. In particular, in the case of medical packaging materials that contain medical devices such as syringes, it is necessary to perform sterilization at a high temperature exceeding 100 ° C., so that the adhesive exposed to a high temperature environment melts or softens. In some cases, the contents adhere to the contents.
さらに、この種の包装容器に蓋材として用いる滅菌紙などは、空気透過性を確保しなければならず、易剥離のための処理を施すのが困難であり、開封時に蓋材が破断して、内容物に紙粉が混入してしまうなどの問題もった。容器本体に蓋材をヒートシールしてなるこの種の包装容器にあっては、内容物の密封性に加え、容器を開封して内容物を取り出す際に、蓋材が容易に剥離できることが要求されている。 Furthermore, sterilized paper used as a lid for this type of packaging container must ensure air permeability, and it is difficult to perform a treatment for easy peeling, and the lid is broken when opened. There were also problems such as paper dust mixing into the contents. For this type of packaging container, which is made by heat-sealing the lid on the container body, it is required that the lid can be easily peeled when the container is opened and the contents are taken out in addition to the tightness of the contents. Has been.
本発明は、以上のような従来の技術が有する問題を解決するために提案されたものであり、加熱成形時などにおける耐熱性に優れるとともに、容器内面と収容物とのスティッキングが有効に回避でき、さらには、蓋材のシール性及び易剥離性をも備えた医療用包装容器として好適な包装容器、及びそのような包装用容器に用いるのに好適な医療用包装シートの提供を目的とする。 The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the problems of the conventional techniques as described above, and is excellent in heat resistance at the time of thermoforming, and can effectively avoid sticking between the inner surface of the container and the contents. Furthermore, it aims at providing the packaging container suitable as a medical packaging container provided also with the sealing performance and easy peelability of a lid | cover material, and a medical packaging sheet suitable for using for such a packaging container. .
上記課題を解決するためになされた、本発明に係る包装容器は、容器本体の周縁に沿って、空気透過性及びバクテリアバリア性を備えた蓋材をヒートシールしてなる包装容器であって、前記容器本体が、基材層と容器内面側に位置する表面層とを備える積層体からなり、前記表面層を、融点130℃以上の熱可塑性樹脂、又は前記熱可塑性樹脂を50重量%以上含む樹脂組成物により形成した構成としている。 The packaging container according to the present invention, which has been made to solve the above problems, is a packaging container formed by heat-sealing a lid material having air permeability and bacterial barrier properties along the periphery of the container body, The said container main body consists of a laminated body provided with a base material layer and the surface layer located in the container inner surface side, The said surface layer contains thermoplastic resin with melting | fusing point 130 degreeC or more, or the said thermoplastic resin 50weight% or more. It is set as the structure formed with the resin composition.
このような構成を採用することで、加熱成形時における表面層の耐熱性を向上させることができ、成形に支障をきたすことがなくなる。また、表面層は、ヒートシールされる部位において接着層として機能するものであるところ、ヒートシール部位以外においても容器本体の内面側に露出し、内容物と接しているが、上記構成を採用することで、たとえ、滅菌処理などの高温環境下に曝されても、表面層と内容物とのスティッキングを有効に回避することができる。 By adopting such a configuration, the heat resistance of the surface layer at the time of heat forming can be improved, and there will be no hindrance to the forming. In addition, the surface layer functions as an adhesive layer in the heat-sealed part, and is exposed to the inner surface side of the container main body other than the heat-sealed part and is in contact with the contents. Thus, even when exposed to a high temperature environment such as sterilization, sticking between the surface layer and the contents can be effectively avoided.
また、本発明に係る包装容器は、前記蓋材が、多孔性フィルム、不織布、織布又は滅菌紙のいずれかであり、前記容器本体における基材層を、ポリプロピレン系樹脂又はポリプロピレン系樹脂を50重量%以上含む樹脂組成物により形成し、前記容器本体における表面層を、ポリプロピレン系樹脂50〜95重量%と、ポリエチレン系樹脂5〜50重量%とからなる樹脂組成物により形成した構成とするのが好ましい。 Further, in the packaging container according to the present invention, the lid material is any one of a porous film, a nonwoven fabric, a woven cloth, and sterilized paper, and the base material layer in the container body is made of a polypropylene resin or a polypropylene resin. It is formed by a resin composition containing at least wt%, and the surface layer in the container body is formed by a resin composition comprising 50 to 95 wt% polypropylene resin and 5 to 50 wt% polyethylene resin. Is preferred.
このような構成を採用することで、加熱成形時における表面層の耐熱性を向上させるとともに、容器開封時における蓋材の易剥離性を確保することができる。このとき、蓋材として用いる多孔性フィルム、不織布又は織布を、ポリエチレン系樹脂からなるものとする場合は、前記表面層を形成する樹脂組成物に配合するポリプロピレン系樹脂を、融点が130℃以上のランダムポリプロピレンにすることが好ましい。これにより、融点が低いポリエチレン系樹脂からなる蓋材を破壊することなく、表面層のポリエチレン系樹脂成分との間で、樹脂どうしの適度な接着が得られる。 By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to improve the heat resistance of the surface layer at the time of thermoforming and to ensure the easy peelability of the lid material at the time of opening the container. At this time, when the porous film, non-woven fabric or woven fabric used as the cover material is made of a polyethylene resin, the melting point of the polypropylene resin blended in the resin composition forming the surface layer is 130 ° C. or higher. It is preferable to use random polypropylene. Thereby, moderate adhesion | attachment of resin is obtained between the polyethylene-type resin components of a surface layer, without destroying the cover material which consists of a polyethylene-type resin with low melting | fusing point.
また、蓋材に耐熱性の高い滅菌紙を用いる場合は、前記表面層を形成する樹脂組成物に配合するポリプロピレン系樹脂を、ホモポリプロピレンとするのが好ましい。これにより、表面層の耐熱性がより向上するとともに、内容物と表面層とのスティッキングがより有効に回避できる。 Moreover, when using highly heat-resistant sterilized paper for a lid | cover material, it is preferable that the polypropylene resin mix | blended with the resin composition which forms the said surface layer is a homo polypropylene. Thereby, the heat resistance of the surface layer is further improved, and sticking between the contents and the surface layer can be more effectively avoided.
さらに、前記表面層を形成する樹脂組成物に配合するポリエチレン系樹脂は、直鎖状低密度ポリエチレン(LLDPE)又は低密度ポリエチレン(LDPE)のいずれかであるのが好ましい。このような低密度のポリエチレン系樹脂の密度は、ポリプロピレン系樹脂の密度(0.9g/cm3)に近似する。これにより、表面層を形成する樹脂組成物の密度分布の均一性が保たれ、透明性が求められる包装容器においては、内容物の視認性を確保することができる。
なお、前記表面層を形成する樹脂組成物に配合する低密度のポリエチレン系樹脂は、その密度が、0.89g/cm3〜0.92g/cm3であるのが好ましい。Furthermore, it is preferable that the polyethylene resin blended in the resin composition forming the surface layer is either linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) or low density polyethylene (LDPE). The density of such a low-density polyethylene resin approximates the density (0.9 g / cm 3 ) of the polypropylene resin. Thereby, the uniformity of the density distribution of the resin composition which forms a surface layer is maintained, and the visibility of the content can be ensured in the packaging container in which transparency is required.
The low-density polyethylene resin to be blended in the resin composition forming the surface layer has a density, is preferably 0.89g / cm 3 ~0.92g / cm 3 .
このような本発明に係る包装容器は、注射器、薬液充填済シリンジ、ガーゼ、ピンセット、又はメスなどの医療器具を内容物として収容し、蓋材をヒートシールした後に、110℃以上、好ましくは120℃以上の温度で滅菌処理が施される包装容器として好適に利用することができる。 Such a packaging container according to the present invention contains a medical instrument such as a syringe, a medicine-filled syringe, gauze, tweezers, or a scalpel as contents, and heat-sealing the lid, and then 110 ° C. or higher, preferably 120 It can be suitably used as a packaging container that is sterilized at a temperature of ℃ or higher.
また、本発明に係る医療用包装シートは、空気透過性及びバクテリアバリア性を備えた蓋材をヒートシールして、医療器具を内容物として収容するのに用いる医療用包装シートであって、基材層の内容物と接する面側に表面層を積層した積層構造を備え、前記表面層が、融点130℃以上の熱可塑性樹脂、又は前記熱可塑性樹脂を50重量%以上含む樹脂組成物により形成されている構成としている。 Further, the medical packaging sheet according to the present invention is a medical packaging sheet used for heat-sealing a lid material having air permeability and bacteria barrier properties and containing a medical device as a content. It is provided with a laminated structure in which a surface layer is laminated on the surface side in contact with the contents of the material layer, and the surface layer is formed of a thermoplastic resin having a melting point of 130 ° C. or higher, or a resin composition containing 50% by weight or more of the thermoplastic resin. The configuration is as follows.
このような構成の本発明に係る医療用包装シートは、本発明に係る包装容器において容器本体を形成する積層体として好適に用いられ、加熱成形時における表面層の耐熱性に優れ、蓋材をヒートシールして容器として使用したときに、表面層と内容物とのスティッキングも有効に回避することができる。 The medical packaging sheet according to the present invention having such a configuration is suitably used as a laminate for forming the container body in the packaging container according to the present invention, and has excellent heat resistance of the surface layer at the time of thermoforming, and a lid material. When heat sealed and used as a container, sticking between the surface layer and the contents can be effectively avoided.
本発明によれば、加熱成形時などにおける耐熱性に優れた包装容器を得ることができる。さらに、容器内面と収容物とのスティッキングを有効に回避できるとともに、蓋材の素材、基材層を形成する樹脂、及び表面層を形成する樹脂を特定の組み合わせとすることにより、蓋材の易剥離性をも備えた包装容器とすることができる。 According to this invention, the packaging container excellent in heat resistance at the time of thermoforming etc. can be obtained. Furthermore, the sticking between the inner surface of the container and the contents can be effectively avoided, and the lid material, the resin for forming the base material layer, and the resin for forming the surface layer can be made into a specific combination to facilitate the lid material. It can be set as the packaging container provided also with peelability.
以下、本発明の好ましい実施形態について説明する。本発明において、容器本体を形成する積層体としては、例えば、基材層を形成する樹脂と、表面層を形成する樹脂のそれぞれを押し出し機から押し出し、積層した後にダイスなどにより貼り合わせながら巻き取っていく共押し出し法などにより、シート状に形成されたものを用いることができる。 Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described. In the present invention, the laminate forming the container body may be, for example, extruding each of the resin forming the base layer and the resin forming the surface layer from an extruder and laminating them while adhering them with a die or the like. A sheet formed by a co-extrusion method or the like can be used.
また、本発明に係る包装容器は、容器本体の周縁に沿って蓋材をヒートシールすることによって得られるが、容器本体の形態は、内容物の形状に応じて種々の形態を適宜採用することができる。例えば、ガーゼなどの薄手のものを内容物とする場合には、シート状に形成した積層体の表面層側と蓋材との間に内容物を挟み、内容物の周囲をヒートシールするとともに、不要部分をカットするようにしてもよく、結果として、容器本体(積層体)の周縁に沿って蓋材がヒートシールされていればよい。 In addition, the packaging container according to the present invention is obtained by heat-sealing the lid material along the periphery of the container body, and the form of the container body appropriately adopts various forms according to the shape of the contents. Can do. For example, when the content is thin such as gauze, the content is sandwiched between the surface layer side of the laminate formed in a sheet shape and the lid, and the periphery of the content is heat sealed, You may make it cut an unnecessary part, and the lid | cover material should just be heat-sealed along the periphery of a container main body (laminated body) as a result.
また、注射器などのように内容物が立体的形状を有するものである場合には、例えば、シート状に形成した積層体を熱板に挟んで成形温度まで加熱し、表面層が容器内面に位置するようにして、プラグアシスト式の圧空成形により成形するなどの適当な成形手段により、容器本体を内容物が収容できるような形態とするとともに、容器本体の開口部周縁に沿って、蓋材をヒートシールするためのフランジ部を形成するなどすればよい。 In addition, when the contents have a three-dimensional shape such as a syringe, for example, a laminate formed in a sheet shape is sandwiched between heating plates and heated to a molding temperature, and the surface layer is positioned on the inner surface of the container. In this way, the container body is made into a form that can accommodate the contents by an appropriate molding means such as molding by plug-assisted pressure forming, and the lid member is formed along the periphery of the opening of the container body. What is necessary is just to form the flange part for heat-sealing.
容器本体を形成する積層体が備える基材層は、通常は、所望の容器形状に成形可能な熱可塑性樹脂により形成され、少なくとも、バクテリアの透過を遮るバクテリアバリア性を有していればよいが、容器本体の耐熱性や透明性を考慮すると、ポリプロピレン系樹脂又はポリプロピレン系樹脂を50重量%以上、好ましくは70重量%以上含む樹脂組成物により形成するのが好ましく、ポリプロピレン系樹脂としては、ホモポリプロピレン及び/又はランダムポリプロピレンが特に好ましい。なお、基材層は、必要に応じて、空気の透過を遮る空気非透過性や水蒸気バリア性などを付加又は補うための樹脂層を積層させた多層構成とすることもできる。 The base material layer provided in the laminate forming the container body is usually formed of a thermoplastic resin that can be molded into a desired container shape, and at least has a bacteria barrier property that blocks the permeation of bacteria. In view of heat resistance and transparency of the container body, it is preferable to form a polypropylene resin or a resin composition containing polypropylene resin at 50% by weight or more, preferably 70% by weight or more. Polypropylene and / or random polypropylene are particularly preferred. In addition, the base material layer can also be made into the multilayer structure which laminated | stacked the resin layer for adding or supplementing the air non-permeability which blocks | prevents permeation | transmission of air, water vapor | steam barrier property, etc. as needed.
また、表面層は、融点130℃以上の熱可塑性樹脂、又は前記熱可塑性樹脂を50重量%以上、好ましくは60重量%以上を含む樹脂組成物により形成する。これにより、前述したような加熱成形時における表面層の耐熱性を向上させることができ、成形に支障をきたすことがなくなる。さらに、表面層は、ヒートシールされる部位において接着層として機能するものであるところ、ヒートシール部位以外においても容器本体の内面側に露出し、内容物と接しているが、このような表面層を上記樹脂にて形成することにより、たとえ、滅菌処理などの高温環境下に曝されても、表面層と内容物とのスティッキングを有効に回避することができる。なお、表面層の厚みは、蓋材とのヒートシール性を考慮して、通常は、1〜100μm、好ましくは10〜50μmの厚みで形成される。 The surface layer is formed of a thermoplastic resin having a melting point of 130 ° C. or higher, or a resin composition containing 50% by weight or more, preferably 60% by weight or more of the thermoplastic resin. Thereby, the heat resistance of the surface layer at the time of thermoforming as described above can be improved, and the molding is not hindered. Further, the surface layer functions as an adhesive layer in the heat-sealed part, but it is exposed on the inner surface side of the container body outside the heat-sealed part and is in contact with the contents. By using the above resin, sticking between the surface layer and the contents can be effectively avoided even when exposed to a high temperature environment such as sterilization treatment. The thickness of the surface layer is usually 1-100 μm, preferably 10-50 μm, considering the heat sealability with the lid.
このような表面層は、例えば、ポリプロピレン系樹脂50〜95重量%、好ましくは60〜80重量%と、ポリエチレン系樹脂5〜50重量%、好ましくは20〜40重量%とからなる樹脂組成物により形成するのが好ましい。この場合、ポリプロピレンを配合する割合が上記範囲に満たないと、表面層の耐熱性が不十分となり、また、ポリプロピレンを配合する割合が上記範囲を超え、ポリエチレン系樹脂の割合が少なくなると、ヒートシール性が不十分となってしまう。 Such a surface layer is made of, for example, a resin composition comprising 50 to 95% by weight of polypropylene resin, preferably 60 to 80% by weight, and 5 to 50% by weight of polyethylene resin, preferably 20 to 40% by weight. Preferably formed. In this case, if the ratio of blending polypropylene is less than the above range, the heat resistance of the surface layer becomes insufficient, and if the ratio of blending polypropylene exceeds the above range and the ratio of polyethylene resin decreases, heat sealing It becomes inadequate.
蓋材に滅菌紙を用いる場合であって、表面層を形成する樹脂に、ポリプロピレン系樹脂と、ポリエチレン系樹脂とからなる樹脂組成物を用いる場合には、ポリプロピレン系樹脂は、ホモポリプロピレンであるのが好ましく、ポリエチレン系樹脂としては、直鎖状低密度ポリエチレン(LLDPE)、低密度ポリエチレン(LDPE)のいずれかであるのが好ましい。 In the case where sterilized paper is used for the lid, and the resin composition comprising a polypropylene resin and a polyethylene resin is used as the resin forming the surface layer, the polypropylene resin is a homopolypropylene. The polyethylene resin is preferably either a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) or a low density polyethylene (LDPE).
このように、表面層を形成する樹脂にポリプロピレン系樹脂を比較的高い割合で配合することで、表面層の耐熱性を向上させることができる。これにより、容器自体の耐熱性が向上するとともに、たとえ、高温環境下に曝されたとしても容器の密封性を保持できるのはいうまでもないが、容器本体を形成する積層体に前述したような加熱成形を施す際に、基材層を形成するポリプロピレン系樹脂の成形温度まで加熱して、高温で成形を行っても、表面層を形成する樹脂が熱板に付着したり、熱板の表面形状が表面層に転写されるなどして、得られる包装容器の外観品位を損なうようなことがない。さらに、成形温度を高くすることで、積層体の内部歪みを除去することができ、成形後の容器の変形、特に、滅菌処理などの加熱による容器の変形を防止することができ、さらに、容器の変形による蓋材の剥離も防止できる。 Thus, the heat resistance of a surface layer can be improved by mix | blending a polypropylene-type resin with the resin which forms a surface layer in a comparatively high ratio. As a result, the heat resistance of the container itself is improved, and it is needless to say that the hermeticity of the container can be maintained even when exposed to a high temperature environment. When performing heat molding, the resin forming the surface layer adheres to the hot plate even if the molding is performed at a high temperature by heating to the molding temperature of the polypropylene resin forming the base material layer. The appearance quality of the resulting packaging container is not impaired by the surface shape being transferred to the surface layer. Furthermore, by increasing the molding temperature, the internal distortion of the laminate can be removed, and the deformation of the container after molding, in particular, the deformation of the container due to heating such as sterilization treatment can be prevented. It is also possible to prevent the cover material from peeling off due to the deformation.
また、表面層を形成する樹脂組成物に配合するポリプロピレン系樹脂に、ホモポリプロピレンを用いれば、表面層の耐熱性をより向上させることができるとともに、内容物と表面層とのスティッキングをより有効に回避することができる。さらに、表面層を形成する樹脂組成物に配合するポリエチレン系樹脂として、例えば、LLDPEやLDPEなどのように、密度が、ポリプロピレン系樹脂の密度(0.9g/cm3)に近似するもの(好ましくは、密度0.89g/cm3〜0.92g/cm3の低密度ポリエチレン)を用いれば、表面層を形成する樹脂組成物の密度分布の均一性を保つことができる。これにより、容器本体の透明性を損なうことなく、内容物の視認性を確保することができる。特に、メタロセン系触媒を用いて重合させたメタロセン系LLDPEは、密度がホモポリプロピレンと近い値を示し、屈折率が近似するため、基材層及び表面層に配合するポリプロピレン系樹脂にホモポリプロピレン及び/又はランダムポリプロピレンを用いるとともに、表面層に配合するポリエチレン系樹脂をメタロセン系LLDPEとする態様は、容器本体の透明性を確保する上で特に好適である。Moreover, if homopolypropylene is used for the polypropylene resin blended in the resin composition forming the surface layer, the heat resistance of the surface layer can be further improved, and the sticking between the contents and the surface layer can be made more effective. It can be avoided. Furthermore, as the polyethylene resin to be blended in the resin composition for forming the surface layer, for example, LLDPE, LDPE, etc., the density of which approximates the density (0.9 g / cm 3 ) of the polypropylene resin (preferably is the use of the low-density polyethylene) of density 0.89g / cm 3 ~0.92g / cm 3 , it is possible to maintain uniformity of the density distribution of the resin composition forming the surface layer. Thereby, the visibility of the contents can be ensured without impairing the transparency of the container body. In particular, metallocene LLDPE polymerized using a metallocene catalyst exhibits a density close to that of homopolypropylene and approximates the refractive index, so that homopolypropylene and / or polypropylene resin blended into the base material layer and the surface layer is used. Alternatively, an embodiment in which random polypropylene is used and the polyethylene resin blended in the surface layer is a metallocene LLDPE is particularly suitable for ensuring the transparency of the container body.
一方、蓋材としては、バクテリアバリア性を備えるとともに、内容物の滅菌処理時に滅菌ガスを透過し、滅菌処理後には滅菌ガスの空気置換が可能な空気透過性を備え、容器本体にヒートシールできるものであれば、特に限定されないが、多孔性フィルム、不織布、織布又は滅菌紙のいずれかを用いるのが好ましい。これらのものを蓋材に用いれば、表面に開口する多数の孔や、繊維どうしの隙間に、ヒートシール時に溶融した表面層を形成する樹脂が入り込み、そのアンカー効果による機械的結合及び/又は蓋材と表面層との化学的相容性により、蓋材と表面層との間で適度の接着性を発揮させることができ、後述するように、蓋材と表面層との間での適度の接着性が、蓋材の易剥離性の発揮に寄与する。このとき、多孔性フィルム、不織布又は織布にポリエチレン系樹脂製のものを用いれば、容器本体の表面層に配合されたポリエチレン系樹脂との化学的相容性によっても蓋材と表面層との適度な接着性が得られ、蓋材の易剥離性を適度に発揮させる上で好ましい。 On the other hand, the lid material has a bacteria barrier property and allows sterilization gas to permeate during sterilization of the contents, and after air sterilization to allow air replacement of the sterilization gas, can be heat sealed to the container body. Although it will not specifically limit if it is a thing, It is preferable to use either a porous film, a nonwoven fabric, a woven fabric, or a sterilized paper. If these materials are used as a cover material, a resin that forms a surface layer melted at the time of heat sealing enters a large number of holes opened on the surface and gaps between fibers, and mechanical bonding and / or a cover by the anchor effect. Due to the chemical compatibility between the cover material and the surface layer, it is possible to exert an appropriate adhesiveness between the cover material and the surface layer. Adhesiveness contributes to the easy release of the lid. At this time, if a porous film, a nonwoven fabric or a woven fabric made of polyethylene resin is used, the lid material and the surface layer are also affected by the chemical compatibility with the polyethylene resin blended in the surface layer of the container body. Appropriate adhesiveness can be obtained, which is preferable in that the easy-peeling property of the lid material is appropriately exhibited.
さらに、本発明にあっては、蓋材として、多孔性フィルム、不織布、織布又は滅菌紙のいずれかを用いるとともに、容器本体における基材層を前述したようなポリプロピレン系樹脂又はポリプロピレン系樹脂を含む樹脂組成物により形成し、容器本体における表面層を前述したようなポリプロピレン系樹脂とポリエチレン系樹脂とからなる樹脂組成物により形成するのが好ましい。 Furthermore, in the present invention, as the lid material, any one of a porous film, a nonwoven fabric, a woven fabric, and sterilized paper is used, and the base material layer in the container body is made of the above-described polypropylene resin or polypropylene resin. Preferably, the surface layer in the container body is formed of a resin composition comprising a polypropylene resin and a polyethylene resin as described above.
本発明では、蓋材の素材、基材層を形成する樹脂、及び表面層を形成する樹脂をこのような組み合わせとすることで、本発明に係る包装容器の成形時などにおける耐熱性を向上させるとともに、容器開封時における蓋材の易剥離性を発揮させることができる。 In the present invention, the heat resistance at the time of molding of the packaging container according to the present invention is improved by using such a combination of the material for the lid, the resin for forming the base layer, and the resin for forming the surface layer. At the same time, the easy peelability of the lid material when the container is opened can be exhibited.
すなわち、表面層を形成する樹脂に、基材層を形成する樹脂と同種のポリプロピレン系樹脂を配合することで、表面層と基材層との相容性が良くなり、基材層と表面層との接着性を強固なものとすることができる。一方、多孔性フィルム、不織布、織布又は滅菌紙は、前述したように、蓋材と表面層との間で適度の接着性を発揮させることができる。このため、基材層と表面層との間及び蓋材と表面層との間における層間接着強度のバランスにより、容器の密封性を確保しつつ、蓋材の易剥離性を発揮させることができると考えられる。このとき、多孔性フィルム、不織布、織布として、ポリエチレン系樹脂製のものを用いれば、表面層のポリエチレン系樹脂成分との間で樹脂どうしの適度な接着が得られ、上記した層間接着強度のバランスを調整することが容易になる。なお、蓋材の易剥離性を発揮させるために、出光ユニテック株式会社製の「マジックトップ」のような易剥離構造を利用してもよい。 That is, the compatibility of the surface layer and the base material layer is improved by blending the same type of polypropylene resin as the resin forming the base material layer with the resin that forms the surface layer. The adhesiveness can be made strong. On the other hand, as described above, the porous film, nonwoven fabric, woven fabric, or sterilized paper can exhibit appropriate adhesiveness between the lid member and the surface layer. For this reason, the balance of the interlayer adhesive strength between the base material layer and the surface layer and between the lid material and the surface layer can exhibit the easy peelability of the lid material while ensuring the sealing performance of the container. it is conceivable that. At this time, if a porous film, a nonwoven fabric, or a woven fabric is made of a polyethylene resin, an appropriate adhesion between the resins can be obtained with the polyethylene resin component of the surface layer. It becomes easy to adjust the balance. An easy peeling structure such as “Magic Top” manufactured by Idemitsu Unitech Co., Ltd. may be used to exhibit the easy peeling property of the lid.
以上説明したような本発明に係る包装容器は、注射器、薬液充填済シリンジ、ガーゼ、ピンセット、又はメスなどの医療器具を内容物として収容し、蓋材をヒートシールした後に、110℃以上、好ましくは120℃以上の温度で滅菌処理が施される包装容器として好適に利用することができるが、EGO滅菌などの、高温加熱処理を必要としない滅菌処理が施される医療用包装容器としても利用できるのはいうまでもない。 The packaging container according to the present invention as described above contains a medical instrument such as a syringe, a medicine-filled syringe, gauze, tweezers, or a scalpel as contents, and after heat-sealing the lid, is preferably 110 ° C. or higher. Can be suitably used as a packaging container that is sterilized at a temperature of 120 ° C. or higher, but is also used as a medical packaging container that is subjected to sterilization that does not require high-temperature heat treatment such as EGO sterilization. Needless to say, you can.

滅菌処理を施した後、容器が常温に戻ってから、蓋材にタイベックを用いた容器と、蓋材に滅菌紙を用いた容器を、各々1個ずつ無作為に取り出して容器本体から蓋材を剥離した。蓋材を手で剥がす時に感じる抵抗を評価(官能評価)するとともに、蓋材の剥離状態、破れの有無などを目視にて観察した。但し、取り出した容器の蓋材が、フランジから一部でも剥離していた場合は、蓋材が剥離していない容器と取り替えた。(A) Easy peelability of the lid material After the sterilization treatment, after the container returns to room temperature, there is no container each using a Tyvek as the lid material and a container using sterilized paper as the lid material.

The resistance felt when the lid was peeled off by hand was evaluated (sensory evaluation), and the peeled state of the lid and the presence or absence of tearing were visually observed. However, when the lid of the taken-out container had peeled even part from the flange, the container was replaced with a container from which the lid was not peeled.
ここで、比較例2の容器のうち、蓋材に滅菌紙を用いたものは、蓋材を手で剥がす時の抵抗が大きく、無理に剥がすと、蓋材の接着面側の一部が薄く剥離して容器フランジ部にへばりついたり、蓋材に破れが発生した。また、蓋材にタイベックを用いたものは、蓋材の破れはなかったが、手で剥がす時の抵抗が大きく、剥がし難かった。比較例2の評価を×とし、蓋材の破れがなく、比較例2より蓋材を剥がす時の抵抗が弱い場合は、蓋材の易剥離性に優れるとして評価を○とした。 Here, among the containers of Comparative Example 2, the one using sterilized paper for the lid has a large resistance when the lid is peeled off by hand, and if it is forcibly removed, a part of the lid on the bonding surface side is thin. It peeled off and stuck to the container flange, or the lid material was torn. In addition, in the case of using Tyvek as the lid material, the lid material was not torn, but the resistance when peeled by hand was large and difficult to remove. The evaluation of Comparative Example 2 was evaluated as x, and when the lid material was not torn and the resistance when peeling the lid material was weaker than Comparative Example 2, the evaluation was rated as ◯ because the lid material was excellent in easy peelability.
(b)スティッキング性
得られた10個の容器中、1個でも、注射器の容器内面に接する部分が、容器本体の内面とくっついている場合には、その評価を×とした。また、得られた10個の容器の全てについて、注射器の容器内面に接する部分が、容器本体の内面とくっついていない場合には、その評価を○とした。(B) Sticking property In the case where at least one of the obtained 10 containers was in contact with the inner surface of the container main body, the evaluation was x. Moreover, about the obtained 10 containers, when the part which contact | connects the container inner surface of a syringe is not sticking with the inner surface of a container main body, the evaluation was set as (circle).
(c)外観評価
得られた10個の容器中、1個でも、プラグラインが明瞭に視認できる、容器表面に熱板の表面が転写されている、容器にへこみや歪が認められる、のいずれか一つの現象が確認できる場合には、その評価を×とした。また、10個の容器の全てについて、いずれの不良現象を確認できない場合には、その評価を○とし、プラグラインが僅かに視認できるが、他の2つの不良現象は、全容器とも視認できない場合には、その評価を△とした。(C) Appearance evaluation Among the obtained 10 containers, any one of which the plug line is clearly visible, the surface of the hot plate is transferred to the container surface, and the container has dents and distortions. In the case where such a phenomenon can be confirmed, the evaluation is x. In addition, if any defect phenomenon cannot be confirmed for all 10 containers, the evaluation is ○, and the plug line is slightly visible, but the other two defect phenomena are not visible for all containers. The evaluation was △.
(d)破袋の有無
得られた10個の容器中、1個でも、蓋材が容器のフランジから剥離しているものがあれば、その評価を×とした。また、得られた10個の容器中、蓋材が容器のフランジから剥離しているものが1個もない場合には、その評価を○とした。(D) Presence / absence of bag breakage Even if one of the 10 containers obtained had a lid peeled from the flange of the container, the evaluation was x. In addition, in the obtained 10 containers, when none of the lid members were peeled off from the flanges of the containers, the evaluation was evaluated as “good”.
(e)熱板付着性
熱成形する前の加熱工程において、熱板間で加熱されたシートが、熱板間を出るときに、熱板に付着するか否かを目視観察した。シートが熱板に付着しないものは、その評価を○とした。シートが熱板に付着するものもあるが、成形に支障がないものについては、その評価を△とした。また、シートが熱板に付着して、成形ができなかったものについては、その評価を×とした。なお、熱板の温度は、金型の型再現性が良好になる温度(155℃)であったが、比較例2のみ、表面層側の温度を100℃、基材層側の温度を140℃とした。(E) Hot plate adhesion In the heating step before thermoforming, whether or not the sheet heated between the hot plates adheres to the hot plate when leaving the hot plate was visually observed. The evaluation that the sheet did not adhere to the hot plate was evaluated as “good”. Although some sheets adhere to the hot plate, the evaluation is Δ for those that do not hinder molding. Moreover, the evaluation was set as x about the thing which the sheet adhered to the hot plate and could not be molded. The temperature of the hot plate was such that the mold reproducibility was good (155 ° C.), but only in Comparative Example 2, the temperature on the surface layer side was 100 ° C., and the temperature on the base material layer side was 140. C.
(f)透明性
比較例1で得られた容器は、容器側面が白濁して、内容物である注射器(シリンダー部)が見え難かった。この透明性を基準にして、その評価を×とする。これに対して、容器の側面から、内容物である注射器(シリンダー部)が視認できるが、明瞭ではない場合は、その評価を△とした。また、容器の側面から、内容物である注射器(シリンダー部)が明瞭に視認できる場合は、その評価を○とした。なお、注射器のシリンダー部はPP製であり、スリガラスのような白っぽい外観のため、容器側面の透明性が悪いと非常に見え難い。(F) Transparency In the container obtained in Comparative Example 1, the side surface of the container became cloudy, and it was difficult to see the syringe (cylinder part) as the contents. The evaluation is x based on this transparency. On the other hand, although the syringe (cylinder part) which is a content can be visually recognized from the side surface of a container, when it is not clear, the evaluation was set to (triangle | delta). Moreover, when the syringe (cylinder part) which is a content can be visually recognized clearly from the side of a container, the evaluation was set as (circle). The cylinder part of the syringe is made of PP and has a whitish appearance like ground glass, so it is very difficult to see if the transparency of the container side is poor.
以上説明したように、本発明に係る包装容器は、医療用包装容器などの用途に、広く利用することができる。 As described above, the packaging container according to the present invention can be widely used for applications such as medical packaging containers.
