Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a foodstuffs packaging containing a polyolefin-based film with properties providing a barrier to mineral oils.
  • Polyolefin-based films in particular biaxially oriented propylene (boPP) films, are nowadays used as packaging films in a wide range of applications.
  • Polypropylene films are characterised by many advantageous use properties, such as high transparency, gloss, barrier to water vapour, good printability, rigidity, penetration strength, etc.
  • the polypropylene films can be used both as transparent films and as opaque films.
  • the above films are often also used in combination with other packaging materials, in particular in the field of foodstuffs.
  • recycled cardboard packaging is often used that, due to its availability, is often present in the form of recycled cardboard. This results in problems, since recycled cardboards typically contain 300-1000 mg/kg mineral oil with a relatively low molar mass (primarily n-C18 to n-C22) and a content of aromatic components between 15-20% (opinion no. 008/2010 of the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment “BfR” of Sep. 12, 2009).
  • the mineral oil mixtures detected in recycled cardboard are paraffin-like (open-chained, usually branched) and naphthene-like (cyclical) hydrocarbons that are referred to as “mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons” (MOSH), and also aromatic hydrocarbons, or “mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons” (MOAH), which consist primarily of highly alkylated systems (see Biedermann M, Fiselier K, Grob K, 2009, “Aromatic hydrocarbons of mineral oil origin in foods: Method for determining the total concentration and first results. Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry 57: 8711-8721).
  • MOSH mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons
  • MOAH mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons
  • films that have a metallisation with sufficient optical density are suitable.
  • This metal layer forms an effective barrier against the mineral oils.
  • such metal layers are undesirable for aesthetic reasons or for cost reasons.
  • these metal layers cannot be used when the film packaging is to be transparent.
  • the efficacy as a barrier is also dependent on the quality of the coating, such that only a high-quality costly metallisation serves this purpose.
  • the object of the present invention was to provide a polyolefin-based film, in particular a film based on biaxially oriented polypropylene (boPP) films, for foodstuffs packaging formed from recycled cardboard, which film has a sufficient barrier to mineral oil mixtures and at the same time retains the good application properties, such that a contamination of the foodstuff to be packaged or already packaged by the mineral oil mixture in the recycled cardboard is avoided.
  • boPP biaxially oriented polypropylene
  • the present invention thus relates to a foodstuffs packaging comprising:
  • the foodstuffs packaging according to the invention does not require any barrier layers produced by metallisation of surfaces and can thus be produced more economically than a metallised cardboard or a metallised film, for example.
  • the invention enables new types of packaging that previously were not possible on account of the metallisation.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a test structure containing cardboard saturated with a defined quantity of mineral oil which was covered with the sample to be measured, Tenax® was distributed thereon.
  • the invention can be provided by differently designed foodstuffs packagings.
  • bag packaging or wrap packaging is produced with technology known per se and contains the foodstuff.
  • the filled bag or wrap packaging is then packaged in a further encasing cardboard packaging.
  • the coating on the outer side of the bag or wrap packaging prevents the migration of the mineral oils from the cardboard into the foodstuff.
  • the cardboard can be laminated or lined with the coated film.
  • a packaging that contains the foodstuff is then produced from the coated cardboard. This variant is advantageous for packaging in which the foodstuff would otherwise come into direct contact with the cardboard.
  • the polyolefin-based films used within the scope of the present invention are in particular films based on biaxially oriented polypropylene (boPP) films. These films can be constructed in a monolayer or multi-layer manner and have a coating comprising (i) acrylate polymer and/or (ii) halogen-containing vinyl polymers and/or vinylidene polymers and/or (iii) polymers based on vinyl alcohol (VOH).
  • boPP biaxially oriented polypropylene
  • the monolayer film or the base layer of the multilayer film contains polyolefin, preferably a propylene polymer and optionally further conventional additives in effective quantities in each case.
  • the base layer generally contains at least 70 to ⁇ 100% by weight, preferably 75 to 98% by weight, in particular 85 to 95% by weight, of the polyolefin, in each case in relation to the weight of the layer.
  • Propylene polymers are preferred as polyolefins of the base layer or as material for monolayer films. These propylene polymers contain 90 to 100% by weight, preferably 95 to 100% by weight, in particular 98 to 100% by weight, of propylene units and have a melting point of 120° C. or above, preferably 150 to 170° C., and generally a melt flow index from 1 to 10 g/10 min, preferably 2 to 8 g/10 min, at 230° C. and a force of 21.6 N (DIN 53735).
  • Isotactic propylene homopolymer with an atactic proportion of 15% by weight and below copolymers of ethylene and propylene with an ethylene content of 5% by weight or below, copolymers of propylene with C 4 -C 8 olefins with an olefin content of 5% by weight or below, and terpolymers of propylene, ethylene and butylene with an ethylene content of 10% by weight or below and with a butylene content of 15% by weight or below are preferred propylene polymers for the base layer, wherein isotactic propylene homopolymer is particularly preferred.
  • the specified percentages by weight relate in each case to the respective polymers.
  • a mixture of the specified propylene homopolymers and/or copolymers and/or terpolymers and other polyolefins, in particular of monomers with 2 to 6 C atoms, is suitable, wherein the mixture contains at least 50% by weight, in particular at least 75% by weight, of propylene polymer.
  • Suitable other polyolefins in the polymer mixture are polyethylenes, in particular HDPE, MDPE, LDPE, VLDPE and LLDPE, wherein the proportion of each of these polyolefins does not exceed 15% by weight in relation to the polymer mixture.
  • the base layer of the film or the monolayer film contains vacuole-initiating fillers in a quantity of at most 30% by weight, preferably 5 to 25% by weight, in relation to the weight of the opaque base layer.
  • Vacuole-initiating fillers are solid particles that are incompatible with the polymer matrix and, as the films are stretched, lead to the formation of vacuole-like cavities.
  • the vacuole-initiating fillers generally have a minimum size of 1 ⁇ m in order to lead to an effective, i.e. opaque-making, quantity of vacuoles.
  • the mean particle diameter of the particles is generally 1 to 6 ⁇ m, preferably 1.5 to 5 ⁇ m.
  • the chemical nature of the particles plays a subordinate role.
  • vacuole-initiating fillers are inorganic and/or organic materials incompatible with polypropylene, such as aluminium oxide, aluminium sulphate, barium sulphate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, silicates such as aluminium silicate (kaolin clay) and magnesium silicate (talc) and silicon dioxide, from which calcium carbonate and silicon dioxide are preferably used.
  • polypropylene such as aluminium oxide, aluminium sulphate, barium sulphate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, silicates such as aluminium silicate (kaolin clay) and magnesium silicate (talc) and silicon dioxide, from which calcium carbonate and silicon dioxide are preferably used.
  • the conventionally used polymers incompatible with the polymers of the base layer are considered as organic fillers, in particular copolymers of cyclic olefins (COC) as described in EP-A-O 623 463, polyesters, polystyrenes, polyamides, halogenated organic polymers, wherein polyesters such as polybutylene terephthalates and cycloolefin copolymers are preferred.
  • Incompatible materials or incompatible polymers in the sense of the present invention means that the material or the polymer is present in the film in the form of separate particles or in the form of a separate phase.
  • the base layer or the monolayer films additionally or alternatively to the vacuole-initiating fillers, contain pigments, for example in a quantity from 0.5 to 10% by weight, preferably 1 to 8% by weight, in particular 1 to 5% by weight.
  • the specified quantities relate to the weight of the layer.
  • Pigments in the sense of the present invention are incompatible particles that essentially do not lead to vacuole formation as the film is stretched.
  • The, for example, colouring effect of the pigments is caused by the particles themselves.
  • Pigments are both what are known as “white pigments” which colour the films white, and “coloured pigments” which provide the film with a bright or black colour.
  • the mean particle diameter of the pigments lies in the range from 0.01 to 1 ⁇ m, preferably 0.01 to 0.7 ⁇ m, in particular 0.01 to 0.4 ⁇ m.
  • pigments are materials such as aluminium oxide, aluminium sulphate, barium sulphate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, silicates such as aluminium silicate (kaolin clay) and magnesium silicate (talc), silicon dioxide and titanium dioxide, from which white pigments such as calcium carbonate, silicon dioxide, titanium dioxide and barium sulphate are preferably used. Titanium dioxide is particularly preferred. Various modifications and coatings of TiO 2 are known per se in the prior art.
  • the density of the film is determined essentially by the density of the base layer.
  • the density of the base layer generally lies in a range from 0.45-0.95 g/cm 3 .
  • the vacuoles reduce the density of the base layer, and pigments increase the density of the base layer compared with the density of polypropylene ( ⁇ 0.9 g/cm 3 ).
  • the thickness of the film lies generally in a range from 20 to 100 ⁇ m, preferably 25 to 60 ⁇ m, in particular 30 to 50 ⁇ m.
  • the thickness of the base layer is between 10 and 60 ⁇ m, preferably between 10 and 40 ⁇ m.
  • the above-mentioned thicknesses are to be understood without the coating comprising (i) acrylate polymer and/or (ii) halogen-containing vinyl and/or vinylidene polymers and/or (iii) polymers based on vinyl alcohol (VOH).
  • the films also comprise, besides the specified base layer, further layers that are applied at least to one side or to both opposite sides of the base layer.
  • a three-layered structure of the film thus results in the case of two cover layers.
  • the thickness of the cover layer is generally 0.5-3 ⁇ m.
  • intermediate layers are also located on one or both sides between the cover layer and the base layer, the thickness of said intermediate layers lying in the range from 1 to 8 ⁇ m. With a combination of intermediate layer and cover layer, these together preferably have a total thickness from 2 to 8 ⁇ m.
  • the cover layers can be formed as a sealable layer, wherein this is understood to mean both heat-sealable and cold-sealable layers.
  • Cold seal coatings can be applied directly to the surface of a monolayer film. However, it is generally preferred to cover the base layer first with a coextruded polymer layer and to apply the cold seal coating to this polymer cover layer.
  • Suitable materials for the hot-sealable cover layer are the homopolymers, copolymers and terpolymers specified hereinafter.
