Definitions
- the present invention relates to a packaging laminate for a packaging container for a food product, which packaging laminate comprises a bulk layer, outer heat sealable layers, and an electrically conductive layer.
- the invention also relates to a packaging container formed from the packaging laminate.
- the aluminium foil has a dual function in such packaging laminates. Firstly, it acts as a gas barrier layer, and secondly it acts as an electrically conductive layer that enables heat sealing of outer heat sealable layers, by inductive heating. Extensive development is ongoing to find other types of materials that may function as gas barriers, and many alternative materials exist today, such as materials based on ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymers, polyvinyl alcohol and others.
- the second aspect i.e. the enabling of inductive heat sealing
- other sealing methods are used to seal packaging laminates that do not contain aluminium foil.
- Such other methods however have drawbacks and therefore it would be highly desired to be able to present an aluminium-free packaging laminate, preferably but optionally having an alternative gas barrier layer, which packaging laminate could still be sealed by inductive heat sealing.
- WO 03/063548 relates to an agent for heating materials comprising (a) at least one plurality of electrically non-conductive susceptors and (b) at least one plurality of electrically conductive susceptors, in a polymeric or ceramic matrix.
- the electrically conductive susceptors may be comprised of particles of an intrinsically conductive polymer.
- Intrinsically conductive polymers are a type of polymeric material that has been under development for some time, but that in recent years has been improved to enable electrical conductivities that in some cases can compete with the electrical conductivities of metals. In year 2000, the Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded the discovery and development of such conductive polymers. Intrinsically conductive polymers are used today in for example anti-static photographic films, batteries, transistors, displays and EMI and RFI shielding of aircrafts, but are to the knowledge of the present inventors not used today in packaging laminates and packaging containers for food products. ICP's are sometimes also referred to as inherently conducting polymers, organic metals, synthetic metals, etc.
- the present invention has for its object to provide a packaging laminate and a packaging container, by which the above mentioned problems are alleviated or eliminated.
- the present invention aims at providing an aluminium-free packaging laminate that all the same enables for inductive heat sealing of the laminate, as well as providing a packaging container formed from such a laminate.
- the electrically conductive layer is comprised of an intrinsically conductive polymer.
- the invention also relates to a packaging container for a food product, preferably a liquid or flowing food product, which packaging container is formed and sealed from a packaging laminate according to the invention.
- a packaging container for a food product preferably a liquid or flowing food product
- a web of the packaging laminate is continuously formed into a tube, filled with contents and sealed off to pillow-shaped packaging containers by a simultaneous heat sealing and cutting operation.
- the pillow-shaped packaging container is then normally foldformed into a parallellepipedic packaging container.
- Any other type of packaging containers for food products formed from a packaging laminate that is susceptible to heat sealing by inductive heating, is however also conceivable, such as packaging containers having a container body of such a laminate and a plastic top, e.g.
- the electrically conductive layer is an essentially homogeneous layer formed from the intrinsically conductive polymer.
- minor amounts of additives such as adhesion promoting additives, may be allowed in the electrically conductive layer.
- the electrically conductive layer of an intrinsically conductive polymer may comprise up to 10 % by weight at the most, preferably 5 % by weight at the most and even more preferred 3 % by weight at the most, of one or more such additives, which additive(s) is/are preferably comprised of non-conductive material(s).
- the electrically conductive layer is a continuous layer that extends throughout the entire laminate.
- the electrically conductive layer is arranged only in sealing areas of the packaging laminate. This may be achieved since it is technically possible to apply the electrically conductive layer only at positions of the laminate that are to be sealed to each other when the laminate is to be formed into a packaging container, i.e. in the sealing areas. This is also beneficial since it reduces the amount of intrinsically conductive polymer needed, which intrinsically conductive polymer does not anyhow add barrier functions to the laminate (as opposed to the aluminium foil layer commonly used today).
- the intrinsically conductive polymer is chosen from the group that consists of polyaniline, polypyrrole, polythiophene, polyethylenedioxythiophene, poly(p-phenylene vinylene), polyacetylene, polydiacetylene, polyphenylene sulphide, polythienylene vinylene, and polyvinylchloride.
- the intrinsically conductive polymer is doped to enhance its conductivity.
- the examples of intrinsically conductive polymers just given are only to be seen as examples feasible today. As development within the field of intrinsically conductive polymers progresses, new types or improved versions of existing types of intrinsically conductive polymers will surely be found, and such polymers will then also be part of the present invention.
- the intrinsically conductive polymer used can be defined by its electric conductivity. Accordingly, it should have an electric conductivity of at least 1 S/cm, preferably at least 10 2 S/cm, even more preferred at least 10 4 S/cm and most preferred at least 10 6 S/cm. It is difficult to define the thickness needed of the electrically conductive layer of the intrinsically conductive polymer, since the required thickness may vary dependent of type of polymer and the application. However, a thickness of 10 ⁇ m at the most, preferably 5 ⁇ m at the most, even more preferred 2 ⁇ m at the most and most preferred 1 ⁇ a at the most, is generally expected to be enough.
- the electrically conductive layer of the intrinsically conductive polymer may have any suitable position within the packaging laminate, as seen over the cross-section of the packaging laminate. According to one aspect, it is bonded to the bulk layer by means of a laminating layer.
- a laminating layer may be a known type of (a usually polymeric) barrier layer (other than aluminium), preferably a gas barrier layer, or a combination of barrier layers.
- tie layers are arranged between the bulk layer, any barrier layer(s) and the electrically conductive layer of the intrinsically conductive polymer.
- the electrically conductive layer of the intrinsically conductive polymer is arranged in juxtaposition with the inner sealing layer(s) of the laminate, but it is also conceivable that one or more barrier layers and/or tie layers is/are arranged inbetween.
- the bulk layer is a paper or paperboard bulk layer. It is however also conceivable that it might be a polymeric layer. In case of a polymeric bulk layer, it is even possible to achieve a transparent, optionally coloured, packaging laminate that is sealable by inductive heat sealing.
- the inner and outer heat sealable layers are suitably comprised of a thermoplastics in the group that consists of polyethylene, preferably metallocene polyethylene, and polypropylene.
- a thermoplastics in the group that consists of polyethylene, preferably metallocene polyethylene, and polypropylene.
- polypropylene based heat sealable layers is for example plausible in the case or retortable packaging containers.
- metallocene polyethylene is primarily of interest in the innermost heat sealable layer, i.e. the layer that will face the food contents of the packaging container formed from the packaging laminate.
- Fig. 1 is showing a cross-section of the structure of a preferred basic packaging laminate according to the invention
- Fig. 2 is showing a cross-section of an alternative embodiment of a packaging laminate according to the invention.
- Fig. 1 is schematically showing a preferred basic concept of a packaging laminate according to the invention.
- the packaging laminate 10 has a rigid, but foldable bulk or core layer 11 of paper or paperboard, as well as an outer, liquid-tight and heat sealable coating 13 and an inner, liquid-tight and heat sealable coating 12 on the respective sides of the bulk layer 11.
- the inner coating 12 will form the inside of the packaging container that is formed from the packaging laminate and is preferably composed of metallocene polyethylene.
- the packaging laminate 10 further displays an electrically conductive layer 14 of an intrinsically conductive polymer, disposed between the bulk layer 11 and the inner, liquid-tight coating 12.
- the electrically conductive layer 14 has been laminated to the bulk layer 11 by means of an intermediate laminating layer 15 of a thermoplastic material such as a polyethylene or polypropylene based material e.g.
- a surface activation treatment such as corona, flame or plasma treatment and/or a tie layer is used to promote adhesion of the electrically conductive layer 14 of an intrinsically conductive polymer to the bulk layer 11 and/or to the inner heat sealable layer 12.
- a dedicated barrier layer 16 preferably a gas barrier layer, may be present between the bulk layer 11 and the electrically conductive layer 14 of an intrinsically conductive polymer.
- the barrier layer 16 is arranged between the electrically conductive layer 14 of an intrinsically conductive polymer and the inner heat sealable layer 12.
- the gas barrier layer 16 may be formed from any known gas barrier material except aluminium foil, such as ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymers, polyvinyl alcohol or others.
- Tie layers or laminating layers may be included in the packaging laminate as required.
- packaging laminate many other variants of the packaging laminate are conceivable, all having in common though that they have a polymer or paperboard bulk layer, an electrically conductive layer of an intrinsically conductive polymer, and outwardly facing surfaces of a heat sealable polymer.
- the electrically conductive layer 14 of an intrinsically conductive polymer is suitably applied by dispersion coating, by means of any dispersion coating technique known per se.
- it may be coated onto a carrier layer that is thereafter laminated into the packaging laminate. It is also conceivable, and preferable, that the electrically conductive layer 14 of an intrinsically conductive polymer is arranged only in the sealing areas of the packaging laminate.
- FIG. 1 Two packaging laminates of the basic concept shown in Fig. 1 were heat sealed by inductive heating.
- a reference packaging laminate having an aluminium foil layer instead of the electrically conductive layer of an intrinsically conductive polymer was also tested.
- Table 1 indicates the frequency tested for the induction heating equipment, as well as sealing times required to achieve a strong and durable seal.
- the known use of aluminium foil gave the shortest sealing times, but primarily the test showed that it was possible at reasonable times to achieve acceptable seals also when using an electrically conductive layer of an intrinsically conductive polymer instead of the aluminium foil layer.
- sealing times and other sealing conditions will be improved for the electrically conductive layer of an intrinsically conductive polymer.
