、及びラベルが榭脂成形品に接合 (又は貼付)された複合成形品に関する。
背景技術
[0002] 従来、榭脂成形品などの成形品には、一方の面に印刷が施され、他方の面に粘着 剤を介して離型紙を貼り合わせたラベルが用いられている。しかし、このような方法で は、ラベル作製に多くの工程を要するとともに、成形品への貼付作業も、離型紙を剥 離し、位置合わせする必要があり、非常に煩雑である。また、ラベルを貼付した成形 品をリサイクルするには、ラベルを剥離する必要があり、リサイクルも困難である。
[0003] そこで、ラベルを貼付しても、容易に再使用や再利用することができる成形品が検 討されている。例えば、特開 2000— 43177号公報 (特許文献 1)には、成形榭脂材 料と相溶性がある材料カゝらなる表示ラベルを、弱粘着性の接着剤により榭脂成形品 本体(トナーマガジンの上カバーなど)に着脱可能に貼付したリサイクル可能な榭脂 成形品が開示されている。
[0004] 特開平 8— 340182号公報 (特許文献 2)には、熱可塑性榭脂よりなるリサイクル可 能な部品を有する製品において、前記部品に対して相溶性を有する熱可塑性榭脂 よりなり、かつ前記部品に貼着されていて、前記部品から剥離することなく前記部品 を再生処理できることを示すマークが表示されているデカル (シート状部片)と、前記 マークの意味する内容が表示された表示部材 (シート状部材)とを具備する製品が開 示されている。前記特許文献 2には、複写機の前ドアとデカルとを熱融着又は接着剤 により貼着することが開示されて 、る。
[0005] 特開平 10— 119169号公報 (特許文献 3)には、第 1の物品と、この物品に接着材 を介して接合された第 2の物品とを有するリサイクル可能な物品において、前記第 1 の物品と第 2の物品とを互いに相溶性のある熱可塑性榭脂により構成すると共に、前 記接着材として、熱及び Z又は電磁波 (紫外線など)を加えることによって、第 1の物 品に対する接着力が減少する特性を有する接着材を使用したリサイクル可能な物品 が開示されている。
[0006] 特開平 11 109831号公報 (特許文献 4)には、画像形成装置を構成する各部品 の構成材料名、部品としての再利用の可否などの複数の項目を選択し、これらの項 目をまとめて表示する表示部を対象部品中に形成したリサイクル表示付き画像形成 装置が開示されている。また、榭脂からなる部品に対しては、その部品にシート部材 の貼付によって表示部を形成することも開示されている。なお、特許文献 4には、貼 付方法の詳細につ!、ては記載がな!、。
[0007] 特開 2000— 66607号公報 (特許文献 5)には、装置に備えられる外装カバーにお いて、外装カバー基体の外観表面部に剥離可能な透明のフィルムが張り合わされて いるリサイクル用外装カバーが開示されている。また、前記特許文献 5には、前記透 明フィルムの材料と、外装カバー基体の材料とは相互に相溶性を有して 、てもよ 、こ と、張り合わせに接着剤を用いた場合には透明フィルムの材料と、外装カバー基体 の材料と、接着剤とが相互に相溶性を有することが開示されている。
[0008] しかし、接着剤や粘着剤などを用いると、リサイクルに先立ってラベルを成形品から 剥離する必要があるとともに、接着剤が成形品の表面に残存しやすぐリサイクル品 の品質も低下する。また、熱融着などによりラベルを貼付すると、接着剤を用いる場 合と同様に位置合わせが困難であることに加え、周囲の榭脂まで融解して成形品の 外観を損なう虞があるとともに、複雑な形状の成形品には適用するのが困難である。
[0009] 特開 2003— 181931号公報 (特許文献 6)には、レーザー光に対して非吸収性で 熱可塑性の隣接する透明榭脂部材間に、レーザー光に対して吸収性で非常に薄い 透明フィルム (赤外線吸収透明フィルム)を介在させた状態で複数の透明榭脂部材 を接面重合し、外側の透明榭脂部材の面にレーザー光を照射することにより溶着さ せる熱可塑性透明榭脂部材のレーザー接合方法が開示されている。前記透明フィ ルムには、赤外線に対しては吸収性を呈するが可視光線に対しては透過性を呈する 顔料又は染料を添加してもよいことも開示されている。しかし、特許文献 6では、透明 榭脂部材を用いるので、ラベルとして用いたとき、下地を有効に隠蔽できない。一方 、ラベルで下地を隠蔽すると、レーザー光を有効に透過できず、接合強度が低下し やすい。
[0010] 特開 2001— 198982号公報(特許文献 7)には、レーザー光の透過率が 70. 0〜1 00%で、全光線透過率が 60%以下である着色層が設けられた加飾透明榭脂パネ ルを、レーザー光の透過率力^〜 10%である着色榭脂成形品の上に接置し、加飾 透明榭脂パネルの着色層上力 レーザー光を照射し、加飾透明榭脂パネルの裏面 と着色榭脂成形品の表面の界面を溶着させることにより、加飾透明榭脂パネルと着 色榭脂成形品とを溶着一体化させる加飾プラスチック成形品の製造方法が開示され ている。し力しながら、特許文献 7には、レーザー溶着性を損なうことなぐ下地となる 榭脂成形品を隠蔽する度合 、 (隠蔽特性)を効率よく調整することができるラベル特 ヽては記載されて ヽな ヽ。

発明が解決しょうとする課題
[0011] 従って、本発明の目的は、レーザー溶着性を損なうことなく榭脂成形品に対して容 易に接合可能で、かつ下地となる榭脂成形品を有効に隠蔽可能な榭脂製ラベル、 及びこの榭脂製ラベルが榭脂成形品に接合された複合成形品を提供することにある

[0013] 本発明の更に他の目的は、被接合体となる榭脂成形品がレーザー光を吸収可能 であるか否かに拘わらず、レーザー光照射により榭脂成形品に容易に接合すること 力 Sでき、しかも下地を有効に隠蔽可能である榭脂製ラベル及び複合成形品を提供す ることにめる。
[0014] また、本発明の更に他の目的は、被接合体となる榭脂成形品のラベルとの接合す る面にレーザー光を吸収可能な吸収部を構成し、レーザー光照射により下地を有効 に隠蔽可能である榭脂製ラベルを榭脂成形品に容易に接合することができる複合成 形品を提供することにある。
課題を解決するための手段
[0015] 本発明者らは、前記課題を達成するため鋭意検討した結果、レーザー光並びに可 視光に対して特定の透過特性を有する榭脂製ラベルを用いると、ラベルとしての機 能を損なうことなぐレーザー溶着により榭脂成形品に容易に接合できることを見いだ し、本発明を完成した。
[0016] すなわち、本発明のレーザー溶着用ラベルは、少なくとも榭脂層を有し、かつレー ザ一溶着により榭脂成形品に貼付するための榭脂製ラベルであって、前記榭脂層に おいて、波長 740〜: L lOOnmの範囲内に発振波長を有するレーザー光に対する透 過率が 20%以上(例えば、 20〜100%程度)でぁり、ASTM D1003に準拠した可 視光線に対する全光線透過率が 50%以下 (例えば、 0〜50%程度)である。前記榭 脂層は、光散乱性を有しており、 ASTM D1003に準拠したヘーズ値が 70%以上 である。
[0017] 前記ラベルは、 50 μ m〜5mm程度の厚みを有して 、てもよ、。前記榭脂層を構成 する榭脂は、通常、熱可塑性榭脂であってもよい。熱可塑性榭脂は、前記榭脂成形 品を構成する榭脂に対して相溶性を有して 、てもよ 、。
[0018] 前記ラベルの榭脂層は、榭脂成形品を隠蔽可能であってもよぐ有彩色 (例えば、 黄色、橙色、赤色、青色など)又は無彩色 (例えば、白色、灰色、黒色など)に着色さ れていてもよい。榭脂層の着色濃度は所望に応じて選択でき、例えば、白色の着色 剤と有彩色の着色剤とを組み合わせることもできる。
[0019] 榭脂層単独で構成されたラベルは、レーザー光を透過可能であり、このようなラベ ルをレーザー透過溶着用ラベルと称する場合がある。 [0020] また、本発明のラベルは、表面に表示機能を有する印刷層が形成されていてもよい 。印刷層は、レーザー光に対して透過性を有する着色剤で構成してもよい。なお、印 刷層では、このような着色剤を複数組み合わせてもよ 、。
[0021] 本発明のラベルは、前記榭脂層と、この榭脂層の一方の面に形成され、かつレー ザ一光を吸収可能な吸収部とで構成してもよい。このようなラベルでは、被接合体と なる榭脂成形品に対して前記吸収部側を接触させて、レーザー光の照射により溶着 可能である。また、吸収部を有するラベルは、榭脂成形品の種類によらず、榭脂成形 品に対して簡便に接合することができ、榭脂成形品の選択の幅が広がる。なお、前 記吸収部は、榭脂層の一方の面に形成されたレーザー光を吸収可能な吸収層であ つてもよい。吸収層の厚みは 1〜40 m程度であってもよい。また、前記吸収層は、 レーザー光吸収剤を含有する塗膜 (塗布層)で形成してもよぐ例えば、レーザー光 吸収剤を含有するコーティング剤 (インク、塗料など)の塗布により形成された塗膜で あってもよい。
[0022] 本発明には、榭脂成形品と前記ラベルとが、レーザー溶着により接合された複合成 形品も含まれる。前記榭脂成形品は、前記榭脂成形品のラベルと溶着する面 (被接 合面又は被溶着面)の少なくとも一部に、レーザー光を吸収可能な吸収部が形成さ れた榭脂成形品であってもよい。このような榭脂成形品を用いると、前記吸収部側を レーザー溶着用ラベル (例えば、レーザー透過溶着用ラベル)に接触させて、レーザ 一光の照射によりラベルと榭脂成形品とを溶着可能である。前記吸収部は、榭脂成 形品の被接合面に形成されたレーザー光を吸収可能な吸収層であってもよ 、。この ような吸収層の厚みは 1〜40 m程度であってもよい。また、前記吸収層は、レーザ 一光吸収剤を含有する塗膜 (塗布層)で形成してもよぐ例えば、レーザー光吸収剤 を含有するコーティング剤 (インク、塗料など)の塗布により形成された塗膜であっても よい。
[0023] 前記複合成形品は、リサイクル可能な消耗品などの用途、特に、使用済みの製品 を素材に戻して再利用する用途、例えば、レーザープリンターや小型複写機等に用 いられるトナー用カートリッジなどに好適である。
発明の効果 [0024] 本発明の榭脂製ラベルは、レーザー光に対して特定の透過特性を有する榭脂層で 少なくとも構成するので、レーザー溶着性を損なうことなぐ被接合体に対して容易に 接合することができる。更に、前記榭脂製ラベルは、可視光に対しても特定の透過特 性を有するので、ラベルとしての機能を損なうことがなぐ例えば、下地 (被接合体 (榭 脂成形品)など)を有効に隠蔽することもできる。また、本発明のラベルは、レーザー 溶着によりラベルと被接合体とを接合可能であるため、粘着剤などを用いなくとも、被 接合体に対して強固に接合又は貼付することができ、リサイクル性にも優れている。 更に、前記榭脂層の一方の面にレーザー光を吸収可能な吸収部(吸収層など)を有 するラベルでは、被接合体となる榭脂成形品がレーザー光を吸収可能である力否か に拘わらず、榭脂層のレーザー光透過性と、吸収部のレーザー光吸収性を利用して 、吸収部側を被接合体に接触させてレーザー光照射により容易に貼付又は接合す ることができる。しカゝも、榭脂層は、可視光に対して特定の透過特性を有するので、下 地 (吸収部及び被接合体)を有効に隠蔽することもできる。
[0025] または、榭脂成形品のある面にレーザー光を吸収可能な吸収部(吸収層)が形成さ れている榭脂成形品では、前記吸収部と下地を有効に隠蔽することができるレーザ 一溶着用ラベルを接触させてレーザー光照射により容易に貼付または接合すること ができる。

[0028] (榭脂層) 榭脂層を構成する榭脂 (又はベース榭脂)としては、レーザー光を透過可能である 限り特に制限されず、種々の熱可塑性榭脂が使用でき、結晶性榭脂であっても、非 結晶性榭脂であってもよい。熱可塑性榭脂としては、例えば、スチレン系榭脂、アタリ ル系榭脂(例えば、ポリメタクリル酸メチルなどのポリ (メタ)アクリル酸アルキルエステ ル、ポリアクリロニトリルなど)、ォレフィン系榭脂(ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ェチレ ン—プロピレンコポリマーなどのォレフィンの単独又は共重合体など)、ビュル系榭脂

[0029] 前記スチレン系榭脂としては、ポリスチレン(GPPSなど)、スチレン一アクリル系共 重合体 (スチレンーメタクリル酸メチル共重合体、スチレン (メタ)アクリル酸共重合 体、スチレン—アクリロニトリル共重合体 (AS榭脂)など)、スチレン—ジェン又はォレ フィン系共重合体 [スチレン ブタジエン スチレン(SBS)ブロック共重合体、スチレ ン一イソプレン一スチレン (SIS)ブロック共重合体など]、ゴム含有スチレン系榭脂 [ 耐衝撃性ポリスチレン (HIPS)、アクリロニトリル—ブタジエンゴム—スチレン榭脂 (A BS榭脂)、メタクリル酸メチル一ブタジエンゴム一スチレン榭脂(MBS榭脂)、メタタリ ル酸メチル—スチレン榭脂 (MS榭脂)など]などが挙げられる。
[0030] これらの熱可塑性榭脂のうち、ラベルとしての強度や光散乱性の点から、結晶性榭 脂(ポリアミド、結晶性ポリエステルなど)や、非結晶性榭脂では、ポリスチレン (GPPS など)、ゴム強化榭脂 (例えば、ゴム含有スチレン系榭脂 (例えば、 ABS榭脂など)、ス チレン ジェン又はォレフィン系共重合体など)などを用いるのが好ましい。
[0031] 前記熱可塑性榭脂は、単独で又は二種以上組み合わせて使用できる。複数の榭 脂を組み合わせて用いる場合、榭脂の組合せは、レーザー溶着性や成形性を損な わない限り、被接合体 (又は被着体)を構成する榭脂ゃ吸収部の種類に応じて、同 系統又は異系統の榭脂の組み合わせであってもよい。なお、榭脂層を構成する榭脂 は、被接合体である榭脂成形品を構成する榭脂及び Z又は吸収体に含まれる榭脂 などに対して相溶性を有するのが好ま 、。
[0032] 榭脂層を構成する榭脂は、レーザー光線を透過可能である限り、特に制限されず、 透明、半透明又は不透明のいずれであってもよい。また、前記榭脂は、更に着色剤 を含む榭脂組成物であってもよい。透明な榭脂であっても、着色剤を併用すること〖こ より、ラベルとして有効に機能させることもできる。
[0033] 榭脂製ラベルの榭脂層は、半透明又は不透明であればよぐレーザー光に対する 透過率は、使用するレーザー光の発振波長に応じて、例えば、 20%以上 (例えば、 2 0〜100%程度)であればよい。なお、本明細書において、「レーザー光に対する透 過率が 20%以上」とは、波長 740〜: L lOOnm (好ましくは波長 740〜1064nm)の範 囲内に発振波長を有するレーザー光力 選択されたあるレーザー光線の波長に対し て、透過率が 20%以上であればよぐ上記の全波長範囲に対して、透過率が必ずし も 20%以上である必要はない。レーザー光に対する榭脂層の透過率は、好ましくは 25%以上(25〜100%程度)、更に好ましくは 30%以上(30〜100%程度)であつ てもよい。また、榭脂層の上記レーザー光透過率は、 20〜70%程度であっても、ラ ベルを効率よく溶着することができる。
[0034] 榭脂層を、前記着色剤を含む榭脂組成物で構成する場合、前記着色剤としては、 レーザー光が透過可能な有彩色又は無彩色着色剤(又はレーザー光に対して非吸 収性の着色剤)が使用できる。前記着色剤としては、例えば、白色染顔料 (例えば、 チタン白、炭酸カルシウム、酸化亜鉛、硫化亜鉛、リトボンなどの無機顔料)、黄色顔 料 [例えば、カドミイェロー (力ドミ黄)、黄鉛 (クロム黄)、ジンククロメート、黄土 (ォー カー)などの無機顔料、ハンザイェロー、ベンジジンイェロー、ビグメントイエローなど の有機顔料]、橙色顔料、赤色顔料 [例えば、赤口顔料、アンバー、カドミウムレッド( 火赤)、鉛丹(四三酸ィ匕鉛、光明丹)などの無機顔料、パーマンネントレッド、レーキレ ッド、ウォッチヤンレッド、ブリリアント 'カーミン 6Bなどの有機顔料]、青色顔料 [例えば 、紺青、群青、コバルトブルー (テナール青)などの無機顔料、フタロシアニンブルー などの有機顔料]、緑色顔料 [例えば、クロムグリーンなどの無機顔料、フタロシア- ングリーンなどの有機顔料]、ァゾ系染顔料、ァゾ系含金染顔料、ナフトールァゾ系 染顔料、ァゾレーキ系染顔料、ァゾメチン系染顔料、アントラキノン系染顔料、キナク リドン系染顔料、ジォキサジン系染顔料、ジケトピロロピロール系染顔料、アントラピリ ドン系染顔料、イソインドリノン系染顔料、インダンスロン系染顔料、ペリノン系染顔料 、ペリレン系染顔料、インジゴ系染顔料、チォインジゴ系染顔料、キノフタロン染顔料 、キノリン系染顔料、ベンズイミダゾロン系染顔料、トリフ ニルメタン系染顔料などの 有機染顔料が挙げられる。また、黒色系の着色剤としては、公知又は市販のレーザ 一光に対して非吸収性の黒色染顔料を用いることができる。このような黒色系着色剤 は、例えば、オリヱント化学工業 (株)から「eBINDLTW— 8170C」、「eBINDLTW — 8012」、「eBINDLTW—8620C」、「eBINDLTW—8630C」、「eBINDLTW— 8400C」、「eBINDLTW— 8950C」、「eBINDLTW— 8200」、「eBINDLTW— 8 300」、「eBINDLTW— 8250C」などとして入手可能であり、好適に使用できる。
[0035] 着色剤は、前記例示の染顔料などを単独で用いてもよぐ複数の着色剤を組み合 わせて用いて所望の色調に調整してもよい。例えば、減色混合法を利用して、色相 の異なる複数の着色剤 (例えば、 3原色)を組み合わせて、榭脂を着色 (例えば、黒 色に着色)してもよぐ白色の着色剤と、有彩色の着色剤とを組み合わせることもでき る。着色剤は、光散乱性を有していてもよぐこのような着色剤 (例えば、酸化チタンな どの顔料など)を用いるとラベルに光散乱性を付与でき、下地となる榭脂成形品を効 果的に隠蔽することもできる。
[0036] なお、榭脂層の色は、特に制限されず、必要に応じて、下地 (被接合体である榭脂 成形品及び Z又は吸収部)を隠蔽可能であってもよい。被接合体の色に対して、明 瞭に区別できる色を採用してもよぐ同系色を採用してもよい。このようなラベルは、有 彩色 (例えば、黄色、橙色、赤色、青色など)又は無彩色 (例えば、白色、灰色、黒色 など)に着色されていてもよい。
[0037] 着色剤の割合は、特に制限されないが、榭脂ゃ着色剤の種類、レーザー光の発振 波長、被接合体の色などに応じて適宜選択でき、例えば、榭脂 100重量部に対して 、 0. 0001〜 10重量部、好まし <は 0. 001〜 7重量部、更に好まし <は 0. 01〜5重 量部程度であってもよい。
[0038] 榭脂製ラベルの榭脂層は、下地 (榭脂成形品)を効果的に隠蔽するため、 ASTM
D1003に準拠した可視光線に対する全光線透過率力 例えば、 50%以下 (0〜5 0%程度)、好ましくは 30%以下 (0〜30%程度)、更に好ましくは 20%以下 (0〜20 %程度)であってもよい。
[0039] また、榭脂製ラベルの榭脂層は、 ASTM D1003に準拠して測定したヘーズ値( 拡散透過率 Z全光線透過率で算出され、曇価である。)が、 70%以上 (例えば、 70 〜: LOO%程度)、好ましくは 80%以上 (例えば、 80〜: LOO%程度)、更に好ましくは 9 0〜100%程度であってもよい。このようなヘーズ値を有する榭脂層は、光散乱性を も有しており、レーザー溶着性を損なうことなぐ下地を有効に隠蔽することができる。
[0040] 前記榭脂層は、必要により、他の添加剤、例えば、相溶化剤、難燃剤、充填剤 (ガ ラス繊維、炭素繊維、金属フィラーなど)、安定剤 (酸ィ匕防止剤など)、滑剤、分散剤、 発泡剤、抗菌剤などを含んでいてもよい。
[0041] (吸収部)
吸収部は、レーザー光を吸収して、榭脂製ラベルを被接合体に対して溶着可能で あればよぐレーザー光に対する吸収剤を榭脂層の一方の面に散布や塗布(レーザ 一光吸収剤の分散液又は溶液などの塗布)などにより付着させることにより形成して もよい。吸収部は、通常、レーザー光吸収剤と、榭脂 (前記榭脂層の項で例示の榭脂 の他、インク、塗料などのコーティング剤において使用される慣用の榭脂(例えば、ケ トン榭脂、テルペン榭脂など)など)とを含む榭脂組成物で構成する場合が多い。この ような吸収部を有するラベルでは、榭脂成形品に対して前記吸収部側を接触させて 、レーザー光の照射により溶着可能である。
[0042] なお、吸収部の分布形態は、特に制限されず、前記榭脂層の一方の面全体に、均 一又は不均一な層状で分布させてもよぐ榭脂層の一方の面に全体的又は部分的 に分散分布させてもよい。また、吸収部は、特定の形状、例えば、直線状、曲線状、 円状、多角形状などで分布させてもよぐレーザー光の照射位置に合わせた形状 (例 えば、複数の並行線状、格子状などの形状)であってもよい。これらの分散形態のう ち、通常、層状の吸収体 (吸収層)を榭脂層の一方の面に形成する場合が多い。吸 収層は、前記レーザー光吸収剤を含んでいればよぐ通常、前記レーザー光吸収剤 と榭脂 (ベース榭脂)とを含む榭脂組成物で構成できる。また、吸収層は、前記レー ザ一光吸収剤を含有する塗膜などであってもよ ヽ。
[0043] 前記レーザー光吸収剤は、レーザー光の波長に応じて選択でき、レーザー光の波 長域に吸収を有する無機又は有機染顔料が使用でき、通常、カーボンブラック (例え ば、アセチレンブラック、ランプブラック、サーマルブラック、ファーネスブラック、チャン ネルブラック、ケッチェンブラックなど)、チタンブラック、黒色酸化鉄、ァ-リンブラック などの顔料(黒色顔料など)の他、ニグ口シン、フタロシアニン、ポルフィリン、シァニン 系化合物、ペリレン、クオテリレン、金属錯体、ァゾ染料、アントラキノン、スクェア酸誘 導体、インモ-ゥム染料などの染料を使用することができる。これらのレーザー光吸 収剤は、単独で又は二種以上組合せて使用できる。なお、顔料の平均粒径は、例え ば、 ΙΟηπ!〜 3 m (好ましくは ΙΟηπ!〜 1 μ m)程度の広い範囲から選択できる。力 一ボンブラックの一次粒径は、例えば、 10〜: LOOnm、好ましくは 15〜90nm程度で あってもよい。榭脂組成物で構成された吸収層において、レーザー光吸収剤の割合 は、ベース榭脂 100重量部に対して、 0. 1〜: LO重量部、好ましくは 0. 3〜7重量部、 更に好ましくは 0. 5〜5重量部程度であってもよい。なお、吸収層は、前記レーザー 光吸収剤を着色剤として含有していてもよぐ更に他の着色剤 (無機又は有機染顔 料など)を含有してもよい。
[0044] 榭脂組成物で構成された吸収部(吸収層)にお ヽて、ベース榭脂は、被接合体を 構成する榭脂及び Z又は榭脂層を構成する榭脂に対して相溶性を有するのが好ま しい。好ましいベース榭脂は、結晶性榭脂(ポリアミド、結晶性ポリエステル、ケトン榭 脂など)や、非結晶性榭脂では、ポリスチレン (GPPS)、ゴム強化榭脂 (例えば、 AB S榭脂などのゴム含有スチレン系榭脂、スチレン ジェン又はォレフィン系共重合体 など)などである。
[0045] 吸収層の厚みは、被接合体に対する接合性を損なわな 、範囲で選択でき、例えば 、 0. 5〜50 μ m、好ましく ίま 1〜40 μ m、更に好ましく ίま 2〜30 μ m程度であっても よい。榭脂層に対する吸収層の厚み比は、例えば、吸収層 Z榭脂層 =0. 001/10 0〜20Z100、好まし <は 0. 005ZlOO〜15ZlOO、更に好まし <は 0. OlZlOO〜 ιοζιοο程度であってもよい。
[0046] また、吸収部(又は吸収層)は、必要により、前記榭脂層の項で例示の他の添加剤 を含有してもよい。
[0047] 本発明にお 、て、前記榭脂層単独で構成されたラベルは、ラベル全体として、レー ザ一光を透過可能であり、通常、レーザー光を吸収可能な榭脂成形品に対してレー ザ一光照射により溶着できる。また、榭脂層と吸収部とで構成されたラベルでは、榭 脂層を透過したレーザー光が吸収部に吸収され、ラベルの吸収部側で、被接合体と なる榭脂成形品に接合することができる。そのため、吸収部を有するラベルは、被接 合体のレーザー光吸収性の如何に拘わらず、簡便かつ効率よく被接合体に対して 接合できる。
[0048] また、本発明の榭脂製ラベルは、レーザー光及び可視光に対して特定の透過特性 を有するとともに、特定の光散乱特性を有する榭脂層で少なくとも構成されているた め、特にラベル表面側 (視認側)に着色層を設けなくても、レーザー溶着性と下地の 隠蔽性とを両立できる。
[0049] 前記榭脂層又はラベルの厚み(吸収層を有するラベルでは、榭脂層と吸収層との 厚みの合計)は、例えば、 50 μ m〜5mm、好ましくは 70 μ m〜3mm (例えば、 100 /z m〜: Lmm)、更に好ましくは 150 m〜: Lmm (例えば、 510 m〜: Lmm)、特に 2 00〜900 /ζ πι (例えば、 550〜900 /ζ πι)程度の範囲から選択できる。なお、榭脂層 単独で構成された榭脂製ラベルでは、ラベルの不透明性は、レーザー光の透過を阻 害しない範囲で、ラベル (榭脂層)の厚みによっても調整することができる。
[0050] ラベルの厚みは、ラベル全体において均一であってもよぐ不均一であってもよい。
また、ラベルは、凹凸又は一部に孔を有していてもよぐラベル表面が曲面になって いてもよぐ少なくとも表面の一部が傾斜していてもよい。ラベルは、通常、シート又は フィルム (もしくはプレート)状である場合が多 、。
[0051] また、レーザー溶着用ラベルの形状 (平面形状)は、特に制限されるものではなぐ 例えば、多角形状 (三角形状、四角形状、台形状など)、円状、楕円状の他、周囲を 直線及び Ζ又は曲線で囲まれた種々の形状 (例えば、ブロック矢印、星形、ドーナツ 形など種々の有形物を模つた形状など)であってもよ 、。 [0052] 榭脂層 (又は榭脂層単独で構成された単層構造のラベル)、及び榭脂組成物で構 成された吸収層は、それぞれの所望に合わせた各構成成分 (例えば、榭脂、着色剤 、レーザー光吸収剤、添加剤など)を、押出機、ニーダー、ミキサー、ロールなどを用 いた慣用の混合方法で混合 (例えば、溶融混練)し、慣用の成形方法、例えば、押出 成形、射出成形、圧縮成形、ブロー成形などにより、通常、シート又はフィルム (ある いはプレート)状に成形することにより得ることができる。また、シート状の成形体を、 必要により、型抜き、切断などの加工処理し、所望の形状に成形してもよい。
[0053] また、榭脂層と吸収層との積層構造を有する榭脂製ラベルは、慣用の積層フィルム の製造方法、例えば、ラミネート法、共押出法 (共押出 Tダイ成形法、共押出サーキュ ラーダイ成形法、共押出中空成形法など)、コーティング法などの方法により調製でき る。
[0054] ラミネート法では、上記成形方法により成形された榭脂層と、吸収層とを、慣用のラ ミネート方法、例えば、ヒートラミネーシヨンやドライラミネーシヨンなどの方法により積 層すること〖こより調製できる。
[0055] また、共押出法では、各層を構成する榭脂組成物を、汎用のフィードブロック付きダ ィゃマルチマ-ホールドダイなどを使用して共押出することにより調製でき、例えば、 各榭脂組成物を押出機に供給して溶融攪拌し、各榭脂組成物層をダイ内で合流さ せて積層し、ダイ力 押し出すことにより調製できる。
[0056] コーティング法では、榭脂層及び吸収層のうち一方を構成する榭脂組成物を溶剤 に溶解又は懸濁させてコーティング液を調製し、このコーティング液を、他方 (例えば 、前記例示の成形法により成形されたシート又はフィルム状榭脂層)に、慣用の流延 又は塗布方法、例えば、ロールコーター、エアナイフコーター、ブレードコーター、口 ッド、: ~"タ' ~" ノ ■ ~" Π ' ~"タ' ~"、: πンマ: ~"タ' ~"、ク ビア: ~"タ' ~" シノレクスクリ1 ~~ ^Π ' ~~ ター法などにより流延又は塗布し、乾燥することにより調製できる。また、スプレーコー ティングによりコーティング液を他方の榭脂層の表面に適用してもよい。前記溶剤とし ては、トルエンなどの芳香族炭化水素;ァセトニトリルなどの-トリル;ジメチルホルム アミドなどのアミド;ジメチルスルホキシドなどのスルホキシド;アルコール(エタノール などのアル力ノール;ベンジルアルコールなどのァラルキルアルコールなど;グリコー ル系溶剤;エステル系溶剤;又はこれらの混合溶剤などの有機溶剤などが使用できる 。榭脂層及び吸収層のいずれをコーティング法により形成してもよいが、通常、フィル ム又はシート状の榭脂層に、吸収層を構成する榭脂組成物のコーティング液をコー ティングする場合が多い。
[0057] また、コーティング法では、レーザー光吸収剤を含有するコーティング剤 (インク及 び Z又は塗料など)を榭脂層の一方の面の少なくとも一部に塗布することにより、塗 膜 (塗布層)を形成してもよい。このようなコーティング剤は、通常、レーザー光吸収剤 の他、インクや塗料などに使用される慣用の成分、例えば、溶剤(前記例示の溶剤な ど)、榭脂成分 (前記例示の榭脂の他、ケトン樹脂、テルペン榭脂など)、添加剤 (ォ レイン酸などの有機酸など)などを含有する場合が多 、。
[0058] なお、榭脂製ラベルの少なくとも表面には、慣用の方法により、文字や画像を印刷( 複写、転写なども含む)可能である。また、レーザー光を透過可能な着色剤 (例えば、 前記榭脂層の項で例示の着色剤など)を用いて、前記文字や画像などをラベル表面 に形成してもよい。また、表面に凹凸 (例えば、点字など)などを設けることによりラベ ルとして機能させてもよい。
[0059] (印刷)
レーザー溶着用ラベルの少なくとも表面に施される印刷(印刷部)は、表示機能 (又 は識別機能)を有していればよぐ特定の形状を有する識別子 (点、記号、文字、記 号又は文字列、バーコード、図形、画像等)であってもよぐ単なる着色 (色分け機能 を有する着色など)であってもよい。印刷部は、ラベル表面の全体に形成してもよぐ 一部に形成してもよい。なお、吸収部を有するラベルでは、印刷部がラベルの少なく とも表面 (視認面)に形成されており、吸収部は、ラベルの裏面 (被溶着面)に形成さ れている。
[0060] 前記印刷部は、通常、ラベル表面に層状に形成される場合が多ぐこのような印刷 部を印刷層と称する場合がある。印刷部(又は印刷層)は、通常、慣用の印刷方法、 例えば、ラベル印刷方法などを利用することにより形成できる。例えば、サーマルへッ ドをインクリボンに押し付けてインクリボンを加熱することにより、ラベルに印刷部(印 刷層)を形成してもよい。なお、印刷部(又は印刷層)は、レーザー溶着に先だって、 ラベルの少なくとも表面に形成してもよぐレーザー溶着と同時に形成してもよい(例 えば、レーザー光の照射により、溶着と同時に印刷部が形成されてもよい)。
[0061] 印刷部(印刷層)は、通常、有彩色又は無彩色の着色剤 (染料、顔料、配合着色剤 など)などを含んでいる力 レーザー溶着性の点から、レーザー光に対して透過性を 有する着色剤が好ましい。
[0062] レーザー光に対して透過性を有する着色剤としては、前記榭脂層の項で例示の染 顔料が使用できる。このような着色剤は一種で用いてもよぐレーザー光透過性及び 表示又は識別性の点から、必要により、レーザー光に対して透過性を有する着色剤 を複数組み合わせて用いてもょ 、。
[0063] [複合成形品]
本発明の複合成形品は、被接合体である榭脂成形品と前記榭脂製ラベルとが、レ 一ザ一溶着により接合されて 、る。
[0064] 榭脂成形品を構成する榭脂としては、特に制限されず、前記ラベルの項で例示の 各種熱可塑性榭脂が使用できる。ラベルを構成する榭脂に対して相溶性の樹脂で、 榭脂成形品を形成するのが好ましい。ラベルを構成する榭脂と、被接合体を構成す る榭脂とは、同種又は同系統の樹脂の組合せであってもよぐ互いに同種又は同系 統の榭脂を含むァロイ(又はブレンド)の糸且合せであってもよ 、。
[0065] 被接合体は、ラベルの種類に応じて、レーザー光に対する吸収剤(前記吸収部の 項で例示のレーザー光吸収剤など)を含んでいてもよい。すなわち、榭脂層単独で 構成されたラベルと接合させる被接合体は、レーザー光を吸収して、榭脂製ラベルと 溶着可能であればよぐ通常、(0前記樹脂とレーザー光に対する吸収剤とを含む榭 脂組成物で形成してもよぐ GO被接合面の少なくとも一部にレーザー光線を吸収可 能な吸収部(吸収層など)が形成された榭脂成形体であってもよ 、。後者の榭脂成形 体は、レーザー光吸収性及び非吸収性のいずれであってもよい。また、榭脂層及び 吸収部(吸収層)で構成されたラベルと接合させる被接合体は、レーザー光吸収性 及び非吸収性のいずれであってもよぐレーザー光吸収剤を含有してもよぐ含有し なくてもよい。なお、被接合体 (あるいは被接合体を構成する榭脂又は榭脂組成物) は、前記レーザー光吸収剤を着色剤として含有していてもよい。被接合体におけるレ 一ザ一光吸収剤の分布形態は、特に制限されず、被接合体全体に均一に分布させ てもよく、不均一に分布 (例えば、表面などに局所的に分布)させてもよいが、通常、 少なくとも被接合面 (又は被溶着面)に分布させる場合が多い。また、レーザー光吸 収剤は、被接合面全体に、均一又は不均一な層状で分布させてもよぐ被接合面に 全体的又は部分的に分散分布させてもよい。
[0066] レーザー光吸収剤の割合は、被接合体を構成する榭脂 100重量部に対して、 0. 0 1〜10重量部、好ましくは 0. 1〜5重量部(例えば、 0. 3〜4重量部)、更に好ましく は 0. 5〜3重量部程度であってもよい。
[0067] 被接合体 (あるいは被接合体を構成する榭脂又は榭脂組成物)は、慣用の着色剤 ( 前記レーザー光吸収剤以外の着色剤 (他の着色剤)、例えば、市販の着色剤など) を含有してもよ!ヽ。着色剤及び Z又は前記レーザー光吸収剤の種類や割合を適宜 選択することにより、被接合体の色調を所望の色調に調整できる。このような他の着 色剤の種類は、特に制限されず、榭脂の着色に使用される種々の無機又は有機染 顔料、例えば、白色染顔料 (チタン白など)、黄色染顔料 (ベンジジンイェローなど)、 橙色染顔料 (ハンザイェローなど)、赤色顔料 (レーキレッドなど)、青色顔料 (フタロシ ァニンブルーなど)、緑色顔料 (フタロシアニングリーンなど)等が使用でき、前記榭脂 層の項で例示の着色剤を使用してもよい。着色剤の割合は、特に制限されず、例え ば、榭脂 100重量部に対して、 0. 001〜: L0重量部、好ましくは 0. 01〜5重量部程 度であってもよい。
[0068] 前記吸収部(又は吸収層)としては、前記ラベルの項で記載した吸収部と同様にし て形成できる。また、吸収層の厚みも、前記ラベルの項で例示した吸収層の厚みと同 様の範囲力 選択できる。なお、吸収部は、特定の形状、例えば、直線状、曲線状、 円状、多角形状などで分布させてもよぐレーザー光の照射位置に合わせた形状 (例 えば、複数の並行線状、格子状などの形状)であってもよい。
[0069] 榭脂成形品は、慣用の方法、例えば、前記ラベルの項で例示の方法と同様の混合 方法及び成形法などにより成形できる。榭脂成形品の形状は、榭脂製ラベルを貼付 又は接合させるに十分な接触面 (平面など)を少なくとも一部に有する限り、特に制 限されず、二次元的形状 (例えば、板状)又は三次元的形状であってもよい。 [0070] 被接合体である榭脂成形品としては、特に制限されず、家庭用又はオフィスオート メーシヨン(OA)用機器、例えば、コンピューター、ワードプロセッサー、プリンター、コ ピー機、ファックス、電話、モパイル機器 (携帯電話、携帯情報端末 (PDA)など)など の機器類や家電製品(テレビ、ビデオデッキ、 DVD (デジタル 'バーサタイル'ディス ク)プレーヤー、エアコン、冷蔵庫、洗濯機など)の構成部品(ハウジング、ケース、力 バー、ドア、カートリッジ (インクカートリッジ、トナーカートリッジなど)など)などの他、 自動車部品、家庭用品、建築材料など種々の成形品が挙げられる。
[0071] 複合成形品は、被接合体である榭脂成形品と、榭脂製ラベルとをレーザー溶着に より接合することにより製造できる。複合成形品は、例えば、榭脂成形品と榭脂製ラベ ルとを少なくとも接合部を面接触させ、レーザー光を照射することにより、榭脂成形品 と榭脂製ラベルとの界面を部分的に溶融させて接合面を密着させ、冷却することによ り両者を接合、一体ィ匕することにより得られる。なお、吸収部を有する榭脂製ラベルで は、吸収部側が榭脂成形品と接触するように、ラベルと榭脂成形品とを配置させ、榭 脂層側からレーザー光を照射し、吸収部又はその周辺部を少なくとも部分的に溶融 させて、ラベルと榭脂成形品とを接合する。
[0072] レーザー溶着に使用されるレーザー光源としては、榭脂製ラベルの榭脂層への吸 収が抑制される範囲で、例えば、固体レーザー (Nd:YAG励起、半導体レーザー励 起など)、半導体レーザー(650〜980nm)、チューナブルダイオードレーザー(630 〜1550nm)、チタンサファイアレーザー(Nd:YAG励起、 690〜1000nm)など力 利用できる。これらのレーザー光源のうち、通常、可視光より長波長域(740〜1600 nm (例えば、 740〜: L lOOnm)程度)に発振波長を有するレーザー光源が使用され る。
[0073] 本発明では、粘着剤などを用いることなぐいずれも榭脂製のラベルと成形品とをレ 一ザ一溶着により接合するので、リサイクルする場合にも、成形品からラベルを剥離 する必要がない。また、レーザー光の強度や照射時間 (露光量など)などを調整する ことにより、接合強度を調整することもでき、例えば、比較的少ない露光量で、接合強 度を小さくすることもできる。そのため、必要に応じて、ラベルを榭脂成形品から剥離 してリサイクルすることもできる。し力も、榭脂製ラベルは、レーザー光及び可視光に 対して特定の透過特性を有するため、レーザー溶着性を損なうことがなぐ必要に応 じて、下地の成形品を隠蔽することもでき、ラベルとしての機能にも優れている。特に 、複合成形品として、トナーカートリッジに用いることが最適である。
産業上の利用可能性
[0074] 本発明の榭脂製ラベルは、各種機器類の構成部品や、榭脂成形品などに容易に 接合させて情報を提示するのに有用である。榭脂製ラベルを榭脂成形品に接合させ た複合成形品は、例えば、家庭用又はオフィスオートメーション (OA)用機器、例え ば、コンピューター、ワードプロセッサー、プリンター、コピー機、ファックス、電話、モ パイル機器などの機器類や各種家電製品を構成する部品 (ハウジング、ケース、カバ 一、ドア、カートリッジなど)などの他、自動車部品、家庭用品、建築材料などの各種 榭脂成形品として有用である。
