Definitions

  • This application relates to waterborne copolymer dispersions having utility as heat seal coatings having good moisture resistance for food packaging and related uses.
  • the copolymer dispersions are the result of a multi-stage (e.g., two- stage) polymerization that produces one rubbery copolymer with a low glass transition temperature and a second hard copolymer with a higher glass transition temperature.
  • Heat seal adhesives for high moisture food and condiments have traditionally been partially crystalline polymers applied from solvent based solutions to the lidding material.
  • the lidding material with applied adhesive is stored until needed to package food or condiments. It is desirable that the adhesive applied to the lidding not adhere to any other portion of the lidding (adjacent lidding, etc.) while stored in warehouses awaiting use (this is referred to as having blocking).
  • the food or condiments are added to a plastic container on a filling line, the lidding material is cut to shape and positioned over the container, the lidding and container are brought together in the presence of a heated platen (typically applied to the outside surface of the lidding) that melts and activates the adhesive (between the lidding and the container) to secure the lidding to the container and seal the package.
  • a heated platen typically applied to the outside surface of the lidding
  • the adhesive needs to have low moisture sensitivity so it does not swell, whiten or otherwise produce a weakened bond between the container and lidding during storage of the food or condiment.
  • the adhesive has to be approved for food and condiment contact as the food or condiment can come into direct contact during shipping, sale, and post sale with the adhesive. When a consumer opens a heat sealed package of food or condiment, they generally prefer that the lidding with the adhesive attached thereto cleanly delaminate from the container and contained food or condiment.
  • U.S. 7,189,461 discloses aqueous based ethylene-vinyl acetate polymers emulsions containing crystalline segments resulting from ethylene linkages are useful in heat seal applications.
  • solvent based partially crystalline polymers provide a distinct melting/softening temperature that can be selected to be a few degrees above the storage temperature of the adhesive prior to use and a few degrees below the heat seal temperature.
  • U.S. 6,368,707 discloses a polymer for a heat-sensitive adhesive sheet comprising a substrate having formed thereon an adhesive layer comprising a polymer "A" having a glass transition temperature of -1O 0 C or below obtained by emulsion-polymerizing alkyl(meth)acrylates and copolymer "B" having a glass transition temperature of 2O 0 C or more and being a water-soluble or water- dispersible copolymer from unsaturated carboxylic acid with other radically polymerizable monomers, wherein part of the entire amount of carboxyl groups in the copolymer are neutralized with a base having a boiling point of HO 0 C or below.
  • U.S. 6,258,887 discloses a multi-stage emulsion-polymer suitable for use in dirt pickup resistant coatings.
  • U.S. 5,385,967 discloses aqueous dispersions for heat-seal applications with a copolymer A having a glass transition of 50-150 0 C and copolymer B with a glass transition of -50 to 5O 0 C and at least one of the two copolymers containing from 3 to 70% by wt. of an ethylenically unsaturated C3-C5 mono- or dicarboxylic acid or the anhydride thereof.
  • the examples of the patent generally showed the high glass transition temperature polymer with high amounts of ethylenically unsaturated C3-C5 mono- or dicarboxylic acid or the anhydride thereof.
  • Such high glass transition temperature polymers with high amounts of carboxylic resins are generally known as support resins and while providing good colloidal stability tend to impart unacceptable moisture sensitivity in applications where exposure to moisture occurs.
  • U.S. 5,306,743 discloses an aqueous synthetic resin dispersion comprising latex particles having an average diameter below 145 or 100 nm consisting of a core material with a glass transition temperature above 6O 0 C and a shell material with a glass transition temperature below 8O 0 C, provided that the glass transition temperature of the shell is at least 20 K below that of the core (indicating a softer shell and harder core).
  • Heat seal adhesive is a broad category of materials. Some heat seal adhesives are applied as a hot fluid adhesive to one or more substrates to form an adhesive bond between two or more substrates. This adhesive type does not need blocking resistance as the adhesive typically is heated immediately before application to two or more substrates and is not stored in contact with several substrates where it may prematurely cause an adhesive bond.
  • a subset of adhesives for seals is those products where an adhesive is applied to one substrate (typically cardboard, paper, or plastic packaging) and the adhesive and substrate is further processed or stored and later during final assembly a substrate near the adhesive is heated above an activation temperature at which temperature the heat seal adhesive then forms a bond between the original substrate and one or more additional substrates. In many cardboard, paper and plastic adhesive uses, the adhesive can have moisture sensitive components without having adhesion adversely affected (because they are used in relatively dry environments where the moisture effect on the adhesive is minimal).
