• EVOH resin ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer
• An EVOH resin composition which can provide a secondary molded article excellent in appearance in which no streaks are observed even when a laminate having such a resin composition layer is secondarily formed into a bottomed container shape.
• the present invention relates to an EVOH resin composition.
• EVOH resin is excellent in transparency, gas barrier properties, fragrance retention, solvent resistance, oil resistance, etc., so it can be used as food packaging materials, pharmaceutical packaging materials, industrial chemical packaging materials, agricultural chemical packaging materials, etc. Alternatively, it is used by being molded into a bottomed container such as a bottle or a cup. Sheets, films, and containers as packaging materials can be made of EVOH resin alone, but usually through an adhesive resin layer for water resistance, strength enhancement, and other functions. Used as a laminate in which thermoplastic resins other than EVOH resin (other thermoplastic resins) are laminated.
• EVOH resin is a resin that is difficult to stretch as compared with other thermoplastic resins
• EVOH resin can follow the elongation of other thermoplastic resins when accompanied by a heat stretching process in forming a film, sheet, container or the like. It is necessary to improve the stretchability of the resin.
• EVOH resin tends to have better stretchability as the content of ethylene structural units (hereinafter, simply referred to as “ethylene content”) is higher.
• ethylene content the higher the ethylene content (the lower the content of vinyl alcohol structural units (hereinafter simply referred to as “vinyl alcohol content”)), the lower the gas barrier properties.

It is described that a molded product obtained by vacuum-pressure forming a laminate obtained by using a product as an intermediate layer and laminated with a polystyrene layer was excellent in transparency and appearance, free from cracks and uneven thickness, and excellent in gas barrier properties.
• Patent Document 2 JP-A-8-311276 discloses an EVOH resin composition containing two types of EVOH resins having a difference in ethylene content of 3 to 20 mol% and having a specific boron concentration. Yes.
• a laminated film in which the EVOH resin composition is used as an intermediate layer and a polypropylene layer is laminated via an adhesive resin layer can be whitened, streaked even when heated and stretched (4 times in the vertical direction and 6 times in the horizontal direction). It has been disclosed that no stretching unevenness was observed.
• the EVOH resin compositions disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2 improve the moldability of the EVOH resin while ensuring gas barrier properties.

• Such vacuum / compression molding is considered to be a stricter process compared to uniaxial and biaxial stretching of laminated films and sheets.
• a cup was formed by vacuum / pressure forming using the laminated film disclosed in Patent Document 2, it was found that streaks that were not recognized in the stretched film and sheet were generated.
• Patent Document 1 performs vacuum / pressure forming (drawing ratio 1 (stretching ratio 7 times)) and stretch blow molding (stretching ratio 10 times) to form a bottomed container. Appearance evaluation of the obtained molded product As such, transparency, presence / absence of cracks, and presence / absence of uneven thickness are merely evaluated visually, and the presence / absence of streaks is not evaluated.
• the present invention is a composition containing two types of EVOH resins having different ethylene contents and degrees of saponification, and the generation of streaks is suppressed even when vacuum / pressure forming is applied while maintaining gas barrier properties.
• An object of the present invention is to provide an EVOH resin composition and a method for producing a bottomed container such as a cup excellent in gas barrier properties and appearance by vacuum / pressure forming using the composition.
• the inventors have conducted various studies on streaks that occur when a laminate in which another thermoplastic resin layer is laminated on an EVOH resin layer is formed by vacuum-pressure forming.
• the flow of the resin in the molten state of each resin layer is different, so that the resin flow tends to be disturbed at the junction (interface).
• EVOH resin composition layers containing different types of EVOH resins having different ethylene contents resins having different melt viscosities are mixed.
• an adhesive resin layer and other thermoplastic resin layers are coextruded using a composition layer containing EVOH resin having greatly different ethylene content and degree of saponification (vinyl alcohol structure content) as an intermediate layer of the laminate.
• the two types of EVOH resin and the resin of the adjacent layer (adhesion) It is considered that a turbulence with the ionic resin) is mixed and mixed, and a turbulence that is smaller than a turbulence that occurs at a normal interface is also generated.
• the molding of a bottomed container by vacuum / pressure forming is different from the stretching process of a film that is uniformly stretched as a whole, and the tension applied during stretching differs depending on the part.
• a laminated body containing minute interface disturbances is applied to such vacuum / pressure forming, it is considered that the minute interface disturbance portions are extended and become streaks.
• the inventors of the present invention in a composition containing EVOH resin having greatly different ethylene content and degree of saponification (vinyl alcohol structure content), the relationship between the difference in ethylene content and degree of saponification and the occurrence of streaks. As a result, the present inventors have reached the present invention.
• the EVOH resin composition of the present invention comprises (A) two ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers having a difference in content ( ⁇ Et) of ethylene structural units of 10 to 25 mol%; and (B) zinc of a higher fatty acid. Contains salt.
• the present invention also provides a laminate having at least one layer containing the resin composition of the present invention.
• a layer of a thermoplastic resin other than the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer may be laminated on at least one surface of the resin composition layer via an adhesive resin layer.
• Another aspect of the present invention is a method for producing a bottomed container excellent in gas barrier properties and appearance by using a laminate having at least one layer of the resin composition of the present invention. That is, the step of heat-softening the sheet or film of the laminate of the present invention; the step of bringing the sheet or film into close contact with the mold by vacuum suction and / or compressed air; This is a method for producing a bottomed container excellent in gas barrier properties and appearance including a step of obtaining a container.
• the present invention relates to a method of forming streaks appearing in a secondary molded article of a laminate including at least one layer of a resin composition containing two kinds of ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers having different ethylene contents as a gas barrier layer.
• the two types of ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers are two types of ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers having a difference in content of ethylene structural units ( ⁇ Et) of 10 to 25 mol%. And using a zinc salt of a higher fatty acid in the resin composition.
• the EVOH resin composition of the present invention can provide a bottomed container excellent in appearance without generation of streaks, even when a laminate having such a resin composition layer as an intermediate layer is vacuum-pressure molded. .

• the EVOH resin is usually a resin obtained by saponifying a copolymer of ethylene and a vinyl ester monomer (ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer), and is a water-insoluble thermoplastic resin.
• the vinyl ester monomer is generally vinyl acetate from the economical aspect.
• any known polymerization method such as solution polymerization, suspension polymerization, and emulsion polymerization can be used. In general, solution polymerization using methanol as a solvent is used. Saponification of the obtained ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer can also be performed by a known method.
• the EVOH resin mainly contains an ethylene structural unit and a vinyl alcohol structural unit and contains a slight amount of vinyl ester structural unit remaining without being saponified.
• the ethylene content in the EVOH resin is usually 20 to 60 mol%. In general, the higher the ethylene content, the better the moldability, but the lower the gas barrier properties.
