Definitions
- the present invention relates to a package comprising a container main body in which a fluid substance is accommodated, and more specifically, an unevenness is formed on the inner surface of the container main body.
- the present invention relates to a package in which a coating layer of a lubricating liquid for improving slipperiness is formed.
- Plastic containers are widely used for various applications because they are easy to mold and can be manufactured at low cost.
- a bottle-shaped olefin resin container in which the inner surface of the container wall is formed of an olefin resin such as low density polyethylene and is formed by direct blow molding is a viscous material such as ketchup from the viewpoint that the contents can be easily squeezed out. It is suitably used as a container for containing slurry-like or paste-like contents.
- the bottles may be stored in an inverted state so that the contents can be discharged quickly or used up to the end without remaining in the bottle. There are many. Therefore, when the bottle is turned upside down, there is a demand for the characteristic that the viscous contents do not remain attached to the inner wall surface of the bottle and fall quickly.
- Patent Document 1 proposes a container in which hydrophobic oxide fine particles having an average primary particle diameter of 3 to 100 nm are attached to the inner surface.
- Patent Document 2 discloses a water-repellent film having a structure in which oxide fine particles having an average particle diameter of 5 nm to 100 nm are dispersed and attached to the surface of a resin film formed of resin particles having an average particle diameter of 1 ⁇ m to 20 ⁇ m. A lid formed on the surface has been proposed.
- fine irregularities are formed on the surface in contact with the contents, and water repellency (hydrophobicity) is expressed by the fine irregular surfaces. That is, in addition to the hydrophobicity of the material forming the uneven surface, an air layer is formed in the voids existing on the uneven surface, and this air layer has a higher water repellency than the material forming the container. The non-adhesiveness to the contents is improved.
- Patent Document 3 proposes a container in which irregularities are formed on the inner surface and a liquid is stably held on the irregularities.
- a container stably holds a liquid layer on the inner surface of the container by utilizing the uneven capillary phenomenon, and the liquid layer improves the slipperiness with respect to the contents.
- there is a difficulty in means for forming irregularities on the inner surface of the container That is, since the unevenness retains the liquid by capillary action, the pitch is extremely small and the height of the unevenness is considerably high with respect to the pitch. If it is not such a form, the capillary force is not dominant and the liquid falls due to gravity.
- the unevenness of such a form is formed by means of post-processing after forming the container body, for example, spraying a liquid in which fine particles for forming the unevenness are dispersed or etching. For this reason, in a container having a form such as a bottle, the process for forming irregularities after forming the container becomes extremely complicated, and a significant increase in cost and the like is inevitable.
- Patent Document 4 Such a container also has irregularities formed on the inner surface, and a liquid layer of lubricating liquid is formed on the inner surface of such irregularities, and this liquid layer is used to improve slipperiness with respect to the contents of the container. Then, it is the same as the technique of said patent document 3. FIG. However, this Patent Document 4 forms a locally protruding portion on the surface of the liquid layer, specifically, the irregularities on the inner surface of the container are reflected on the surface of the liquid layer, and the convexity on the inner surface of the container is reflected.
- the portion has an important feature in that a portion protruding locally on the surface of the liquid layer is formed. That is, the liquid layer formed here is a thin layer that wets the inner surface of the container, and when the container content flows through the portion where such a liquid layer is formed, the container content When the container contents are made to flow in contact with the liquid layer simply by contacting the air layer existing between the locally projecting liquid layer and the locally projecting liquid layer. Compared to the above, superior slipperiness is exhibited.
- Patent Document 4 can greatly improve the slipperiness with respect to the contents of the container, but it should be noted that the inner surface of the container is not affected by post-processing after the container is formed. That is, it can be produced by mixing the resin to be formed with fine particles that become a surface roughening agent and molding a container. That is, the unevenness only needs to hold the liquid so as to wet the inner surface of the container, and does not develop a capillary force that holds the liquid between the unevenness. Therefore, the pitch is large, for example, higher than the height of the unevenness. It ’s a big one.
- a liquid layer is formed by an internal addition means in which a lubricating liquid is mixed with the resin for forming a container to form a container. That is, the liquid layer is formed by bleeding from the resin layer that forms the inner surface of the container.
- Such an internal addition means is certainly advantageous for the formation of a thin liquid layer, but it is difficult to form a uniform thickness on the entire inner surface, and a part where the liquid layer does not exist partially is formed.
- a liquid layer with an excessive thickness may be partially formed. is necessary.

- a lubricating liquid pool is formed at the peripheral edge portion of the upper end surface of the flowable contents accommodated in the container body.
- the unevenness formed on the inner surface of the container body needs to have a form in which the capillary force against the fluid content is dominant.
- the unevenness can be formed by internally adding to the resin forming the inner surface of the container body, and post-processing after forming the container is not necessary.

- the layer of the lubricating liquid covering the irregularities on the inner surface of the container body can be formed by spraying an excessive amount of the lubricating liquid onto the inner surface of the container body.
- the coating layer of the lubricating liquid can be formed without depending on the internal addition to the resin that easily causes the thickness variation. Accordingly, in the package of the present invention, the irregularities on the inner surface of the container body can be formed without using complicated and costly post-processing, and the coating of the lubricating liquid is also sprayed on the inner surface of the container body. It is possible to effectively avoid variations such as the thickness of the coating layer of the lubricating liquid.

- the schematic sectional drawing which shows a state when discharging the principal part and fluid content of the package of this invention.
- the figure which shows the whole form of the direct blow bottle which is the most suitable form of the container main body in the package of this invention.
- the package of the present invention comprises a container main body 1 in which a flowable content 3 is accommodated, and particularly as shown in FIG.
- the upper end of the container body 1 is sealed with a sealing foil 5 and is appropriately closed with a lid (not shown), and the upper end surface of the fluid content 3 and the upper end of the container body 1 (seal foil) Between 5), a head space 7 is formed.
- FIG. 2 A preferred example of the container body 1 as described above is a direct blow bottle, and this form is shown in FIG.
- a direct blow bottle (corresponding to the container main body 1 in FIG. 1) as a whole is composed of a neck 11 provided with a thread, a trunk wall 15 and a trunk connected to the neck 11 via a shoulder 13. It has a bottom wall 17 that closes the lower end of the wall 15, and an opening at the upper end of the wall 15 is filled with the fluid content 3 (not shown in FIG. 2), and then a sealing member such as an aluminum foil. 19 (corresponding to the sealing foil 5 in FIG. 1), and a cap 20 is screwed to ensure sealing performance.
- a bottle 10 is preferably used for accommodating viscous fluid contents, and by squeezing the body wall 15, the viscous substance contained therein is discharged.
- the inner surface of the container body 1 (for example, the direct blow bottle 10 in FIG. 2) is an uneven surface 1a formed by fine protrusions 8 having a height h of 0.7 ⁇ m or more distributed over the entire surface.
- a concavo-convex surface 1a is coated with a lubricating liquid 30 that improves slipperiness with respect to the fluid content 3, and the fluid content 3 and the inner surface of the container body 1 (the concavo-convex surface 1a) Between them, the lubricating liquid 30 is interposed, and no air layer exists between them.
- the small protrusion 9 whose height is smaller than the said fine protrusion 8 is distributed on the uneven surface 1a, such a small protrusion 9 does not affect the slipperiness or the like. Can be ignored.
- the lubricating liquid is applied to the peripheral edge portion of the upper end surface of the fluid content 3.
- Thirty liquid reservoirs 31 are formed. That is, in the upright state, the lubricating liquid 30 covering the uneven surface 1 a of the head space 7 located above the fluid content 3 flows down, so that a liquid pool 31 of the lubricating liquid 30 is formed. That is why. Accordingly, in the upper portion of the uneven surface 1a of the head space 7 portion, a gap portion where the lubricating liquid 30 does not enter is formed between the fine protrusions 8.
- the liquid reservoir 31 formed as described above exhibits a stable and excellent slipperiness when the fluid content 3 is discharged.
- the container body 1 is tilted.
- the formed lubricating liquid 30 flows down to the upper end portion of the container body 1 along the uneven surface 1a. In this state, the fluid content 3 is discharged.
- the lubricating liquid 30 forming the liquid pool 31 flows down and corresponds to the head space 7.
- a thick film 30a of the lubricating liquid 30 that completely covers the fine protrusions 8 and completely fills the gaps between the fine protrusions 8 is formed on the uneven surface 1a at the position.
- the fluid content 3 is discharged together with a part of the lubricating liquid 30 or slides on the thick film 30a of the lubricating liquid 30 while being in contact with the thick film 30a, thereby stably exhibiting excellent slipperiness. It will be. At this time, a thick film 30a of the lubricating liquid 30 is formed on the uneven surface 1a. When the thick film 30a flows on the uneven surface 1a, the presence of the fine protrusions 8 forming the uneven surface 1a Flow resistance occurs. Due to this flow resistance, the speed at which the thick film 30a itself flows is slower than when the lubricating liquid flows on a smooth surface.
- the lubricating liquid 30 discharged together with the discharge of the fluid contents 3 is formed by forming the lubricating liquid film on the uneven surface 1a. It is possible to reduce the amount of. The effect of not reducing the amount of the lubricant 30 held is also an important advantage of the present invention. Further, when the container body 1 is tilted, the uneven surface (not shown) facing the thick lubricating liquid 30a shown in FIG. 1C, that is, the uneven surface that becomes upward when tilted (that is, the uneven surface faces downward).
- the fluid content 3 is peeled off from the surface on the side to be separated, but the liquid reservoir 31 becomes the starting point of peeling and proceeds from the side wall to the bottom.
- the fact that the liquid pool 31 is the starting point of such peeling is also an advantage in improving the slipperiness of the contents.
- the container body 1 is tilted and a part of the fluid content 3 is discharged as described above, the container body 1 is held in an upright state, and a lid is appropriately attached and sealed. However, in such an upright state, the excess lubricating liquid 30 covering the uneven surface 1a at the position corresponding to the head space 7 portion flows down, and again on the peripheral edge of the upper end surface of the fluid content 3 As shown in FIG.
- a liquid pool 31 of the lubricating liquid 30 is formed. Therefore, when the container body 1 is tilted again and the fluid content 3 is discharged, a thick film 30a of the lubricating liquid 30 is formed in the head space portion as described above, and excellent slipperiness is achieved. Will be expressed.
- the uneven surface 1a may be formed by the fine protrusions 8 described above, but the pitch p of the fine protrusions 8 is preferably larger than the height h of the fine protrusions 8. In particular, it is desirable that the average pitch is 20 to 500 ⁇ m, more preferably 30 to 400 ⁇ m. This condition is that the capillary force with respect to the lubricating liquid by the fine protrusions 8 does not dominate the gravity, and the lubricating liquid 30 covering the uneven surface 1a is not held by the capillary force but flows down quickly. means.
- the lubricating liquid 30 is held on the concavo-convex surface 1a by capillary force, it may be difficult to form an amount of the liquid reservoir 31 effective for improving slipperiness. This is because the amount of the lubricating liquid 30 flowing down from the uneven surface 1a in the head space 7 portion is reduced.
- the fine protrusions 8 as described above are preferably distributed on the inner surface of the container body 1 at a density of 10 to 2500 / mm 2 , more preferably 20 to 1500 / mm 2 . That is, if the fine protrusions 8 are not formed at an appropriate density, the resistance to the flow of the lubricating liquid 30 is reduced. As a result, when the container body 1 is tilted and the fluid contents 3 are discharged, a large amount of the lubricating liquid 30 is discharged together with the fluid content 30, and the effect of improving the slipperiness by the lubricating liquid 30 disappears in a short time. In particular, when the uneven surface 1a is not formed on the inner surface of the container body 1, the lubricating liquid 30 is immediately discharged as described above, and the effect of improving slipperiness cannot be substantially exhibited. .
- the presence of the fine protrusions 8 forming the uneven surface 1a described above can be analyzed by an atomic force microscope, a laser microscope, a white interference microscope, or the like, as will be described in Examples described later.
- the presence of the liquid reservoir 31 can be easily confirmed by visual observation or collection using a glass capillary tube (glass capillary tube) or the like.
- the formation of the uneven surface 1a by the fine protrusions 8 as described above is not performed by post-processing after the container body 1 is molded, and a roughening agent is internally added to the resin forming the inner surface of the container body 1.
- the upper limit of the height of the fine protrusions 8 is usually about 50 to 100 ⁇ m.
- the average particle diameter is 40 ⁇ m or less as the roughening agent.
- the upper limit of the height is about 30 ⁇ m, and the upper limit of the height of the fine particles having an average particle diameter of about 20 ⁇ m is about 15 ⁇ m.
- the lubricating liquid 30 covering the uneven surface 1a completely covers the fine protrusions 8 forming the uneven surface 1a and fills the gaps between the protrusions 8. Is applied in excess. That is, this means that the lubricating liquid 30 can be applied by spraying the lubricating liquid 30 onto the uneven surface 1a of the inner surface of the container body 1 as described above, which is also a great advantage of the present invention.
- the inner surface of the container body 1 described above is an uneven surface 1 a due to the fine protrusions 8.
- the material for forming the inner surface of the container body 1 is not particularly limited, and can be selected and used according to the use / content such as thermoplastic resin / thermosetting resin, glass, metal.

It is also suitable for formation. In particular, when the container body 1 is used as a direct blow bottle as shown in FIG. 2, it is suitable for squeezing the contents, and is representative of low density polyethylene and linear low density polyethylene. It is preferable to use an olefin resin.
- the thermoplastic resin forming the inner surface is blended with a roughening agent in order to form the uneven surface 1a formed by the fine protrusions 8.
- a roughening agent fine particles having an average particle size of 40 ⁇ m or less, particularly 0.2 to 20 ⁇ m are used. That is, when molding is performed using a thermoplastic resin in which such fine particles are blended, the portion where the fine particles are connected is raised, and the above-described fine protrusions 8 are formed. Moreover, such fine particles form the inner surface of the container body 1 with its surface covered with a thermoplastic resin, and are firmly fixed. For this reason, the lubricating liquid 30 in contact with the uneven surface 1a formed by such fine protrusions 8 can be stably held.
- the rough surface 1a is formed by the fine protrusions 8 by internally adding the above roughening agent to the resin, the rough surface is formed by applying the particles for roughening by spraying or the like. Compared with the case where the surface 1a is formed, dropping of the fine protrusions 8 can be effectively avoided, which is a great advantage of the present invention.
- the average particle diameter can be measured by a method such as a laser diffraction / scattering method using a laser diffraction particle size distribution measuring apparatus, for example, and the integrated value in volume conversion in the measured particle size distribution. Calculated as the particle size at 50%. Note that in the case of fine particles having a primary particle size of 0.2 ⁇ m or less such as silica, it is extremely difficult to make the primary particles alone, so the particle size of the secondary particles is calculated as the average particle size.
- the fine particles used as the roughening agent as described above are not particularly limited as long as the average particle diameter is in the above range, but generally, for example, metal oxide particles such as titanium oxide, alumina, and silica, Typical examples include organic fine particles composed of carbonates such as calcium carbonate, carbon fine particles such as carbon black, polymethyl (meth) acrylate cured products, ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene, and silicone particles such as polyorganosilsesquioxane. Yes, these may or may not be hydrophobized with a silane coupling agent, silicone oil, or the like. In the present invention, since it can be carried out also by extrusion molding typified by direct blow molding, it is only necessary to maintain the particle diameter after melt molding. For example, fine particles that have been hydrophobized, particularly hydrophobic silica, polymethyl A methacrylate cured product, ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene, polyorganosilsesquioxane, and silicone particles are preferably used.
- the fine particles used as such a surface roughening agent are usually per 100 parts by mass of the resin forming the inner surface of the container body 1 in order to form the fine protrusions 8 with the height h, pitch p and density described above. It is used in an amount of 0.1 to 30 parts by weight, preferably 0.3 to 20 parts by weight, more preferably 0.3 to 10 parts by weight.
- the container main body 1 may have a single layer structure of a resin in which the above roughening agent is blended as long as the inner surface is an uneven surface 1 a formed by the fine protrusions 8. It is also possible to have a multilayer structure.
- a gas barrier resin layer is used as an intermediate layer between the inner surface layer of the container body 1 (the resin layer containing the surface roughening agent described above) and the outer surface layer (the resin layer containing no surface roughening agent). It is possible to suppress the deterioration of the contents 3 due to the gas permeation of oxygen or the like.
- the gas barrier resin examples include an ethylene / vinyl alcohol copolymer (saponified ethylene / vinyl acetate copolymer), an aromatic polyamide, and a cyclic polyolefin. In particular, it is most suitable because it exhibits excellent oxygen barrier properties.
- the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer as described above is generally an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer having an ethylene content of 20 to 60 mol%, particularly 25 to 50 mol%, and a saponification degree of 96 mol% or more. In particular, a saponified copolymer obtained by saponification to be 99 mol% or more is preferred.
- the gas barrier resins described above can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Moreover, in order to improve the adhesiveness with the inner surface layer and the outer surface layer, polyolefin such as polyethylene may be blended with the gas barrier resin as long as the gas barrier property is not impaired.
- the gas barrier resin layer as described above is provided as an intermediate layer, in order to improve adhesion with the inner surface layer or the outer surface layer on which the predetermined uneven surface 1a is formed and to prevent delamination, It is preferable to provide an adhesive resin layer between this layer and the gas barrier resin layer.
- Adhesive resins used for forming such an adhesive resin layer are known per se.
- a carbonyl group (> C ⁇ O) is 1 to 100 meq / 100 g resin in the main chain or side chain, particularly 10 to 100 meq / 100 g.
- Resin contained in the amount of resin specifically, olefin resin graft-modified with carboxylic acid such as maleic acid, itaconic acid, fumaric acid or the like, anhydride, amide, ester, etc .; ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer; An ion-crosslinked olefin copolymer; an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer; and the like are used as the adhesive resin.
- Each layer described above is set to a known thickness so that the characteristics required for the layer are exhibited.
- additives such as an antioxidant, a surfactant, and a colorant may be appropriately blended in the resin for forming each layer as long as the characteristics of each layer are not impaired.
- the container body 1 has a predetermined uneven surface 1a on the inner surface, and may have various forms as long as the liquid reservoir 31 can be formed when the uneven surface 1a is coated with the lubricating liquid 30, for example, It may have the form of a bottle or cup.

- this lubricating liquid 30 is fluid. It must be immiscible with the contents 3. In the present invention, being immiscible with the flowable content 3 means that even when it comes into contact with the flowable content 3, it does not immediately disperse in molecules but exists as a lubricating liquid 30. Furthermore, it must be a non-volatile liquid having a low vapor pressure under atmospheric pressure, for example, a high-boiling liquid having a boiling point of 200 ° C. or higher. This is because when a volatile liquid is used, it easily evaporates and disappears with time, and it becomes difficult to improve the slipperiness with respect to the fluid content 3.

Abstract
Description
また、特許文献2には、平均粒径が1μm~20μmの樹脂粒子により形成された樹脂膜の表面に平均粒径が5nm~100nmの酸化物微粒子が分散付着している構造の撥水性膜が表面に形成されている蓋体が提案されている。
しかるに、このような微細な凹凸面を形成した場合では、水性の内容物に対する非付着性が高められるものの、内容物と微細な凹凸面が常時接触する場合、微細な凹凸面の凹部では水分の凝縮が非常におこりやすく、水分凝縮により凹部が埋まるためにその滑り性が悪化していく問題があり、さらなる滑り性の向上が求められている。
しかしながら、かかる技術では、容器内面に凹凸を形成する手段に難がある。即ち、かかる凹凸は、毛管現象により液体を保持するものであるため、そのピッチが極めて小さく、ピッチに対して、凹凸の高さがかなり高いという形態を有する。このような形態でなければ、毛管力が支配的にならず、重力により液体が落下してしまうからである。しかるに、このような形態の凹凸は、容器本体を成形した後の後加工、例えば、凹凸形成用の微粒子が分散された液を吹き付けたり或いはエッチング等の手段により形成されるものである。このため、ボトルなどの形態を有する容器では、容器成形後の凹凸形成のための工程が極めて煩雑となってしまい、コスト等の大幅な増大を免れない。
しかるに、この特許文献4は、液層の表面に局部的に突出している部分を形成していること、具体的には、容器内面の凹凸が液層表面に反映されており、容器内面の凸部に対応して、液層表面に局部的に突出ている部分を形成している点に、重要な特徴を有している。即ち、ここで形成されている液層は、容器内面を濡らす程度の薄層であり、このような液層が形成されている部分を容器内容物が流れるとき、容器内容物は、液層(局部的に突出している部分)と、局部的に突出している液層間に存在している空気層とに接触して流れることとなり、これにより、単に液層と接触させて容器内容物を流す場合に比して、より優れた滑り性が発揮されるというものである。
即ち、特許文献4の技術では、容器内面の潤滑液の液層が極めて薄い層であるため、容器内面に潤滑液をスプレー噴霧して液層を形成するという手段に適しておらず、容器内面を形成する樹脂に潤滑液を混合して容器を成形するという内添手段によって液層が形成される。即ち、容器内面を形成する樹脂層からのブリーディングにより液層が形成されるわけである。
このような内添手段は、確かに薄い液層の形成には有利であるが、内面全体に均一な厚みで形成し難く、部分的に液層が存在しない部分が形成されたり、場合によっては、内面の凹凸が液体保持力を有していないため、部分的に過剰な厚みの液層が形成されてしまうことがあり、このため、内容物に対する滑り性にバラつきが生じ易く、さらなる改善が必要である。
前記容器本体の内面には、その全体にわたって凹凸が形成されており、
前記凹凸からなる容器本体の内面は、前記流動性内容物とは非混和性の潤滑液で被覆されており、該内面と該流動性内容物との間に、該潤滑液の被覆層が介在していると共に、
前記容器本体が正立に保持された状態において、該容器本体内に収容されている前記流動性内容物の上端面の周縁部には、前記被覆層を形成している潤滑液の液溜りが形成されていることを特徴とするパッケージが提供される。
(1)前記凹凸は、0.7μm以上の高さを有する微細突起により形成されており、該微細突起のピッチが高さよりも大きい形態を有していること、
(2)前記容器本体の内面は、粗面化剤として平均粒子径が40μm以下の微細粒子が分散されている熱可塑性樹脂層により形成されていること、
(3)前記流動性内容物が、100mPa・s(25℃)以上の粘度を有する粘稠物質であること、
が好適である。
さらに、上記の潤滑液の液溜りは、ヘッドスペース部分の凹凸を被覆している潤滑液の落下により形成される。このことから理解されるように、容器本体の内面の凹凸を被覆する潤滑液の層は、過剰な量の潤滑液を容器本体の内面にスプレー噴霧することによって形成できる。即ち、厚みのバラつき等を生じ易い樹脂への内添によらず、潤滑液の被覆層を形成することができる。
従って、本発明のパッケージでは、容器本体内面の凹凸を、煩雑で且つコストのかかる後加工を用いずに形成することができ、また、潤滑液の被覆も、容器本体内面に潤滑液をスプレー噴霧するという容易な手段で行い、潤滑液の被覆層の厚み等のバラつきを有効に回避することできる。
図1を参照して、本発明のパッケージは、内部に流動性内容物3が収容された容器本体1からなるものであり、特に図1(A)に示されているように、正立状態において、容器本体1の上端は、シール箔5によりシールされており、適宜、蓋体(図示せず)により閉じられており、流動性内容物3の上端面と容器本体1の上端(シール箔5)との間にはヘッドスペース7が形成されている。
図2において、全体として10で示されるダイレクトブローボトル(図1の容器本体1に相当)は、螺条を備えた首部11、肩部13を介して首部11に連なる胴部壁15及び胴部壁15の下端を閉じている底壁17を有しており、その上端の開口部は、前記の流動性内容物3(図2では図示せず)を充填した後に、アルミ箔等のシール部材19(図1のシール箔5に相当)によって閉じられ、さらにキャップ20が螺子装着されてシール性が確保されるものとなっている。
かかるボトル10は、粘稠な流動性内容物の収容に好適に使用され、胴部壁15をスクイズすることにより、内部に収容された粘稠な物質を排出するというものである。
尚、凹凸面1aには、上記微細突起8よりも高さの小さい小突起9が分布しているが、このような小突起9は、滑り性等に影響を与えるものではなく、本発明では無視することができる。
本発明では、上記のようにして形成されている液溜り31により、流動性内容物3の排出に際して、安定して優れた滑り性が発揮されることとなる。
このとき、凹凸面1a上には潤滑液30の厚い膜30aが形成されているが、この厚い膜30aが凹凸面1a上を流れる際、凹凸面1aを形成する微細突起8との存在により、流動抵抗が発生する。この流動抵抗により、厚い膜30a自体が流れる速度は、平滑な面上を潤滑液が流れる場合と比較して遅くなっている。したがって、平滑な面上に潤滑液の膜を被覆した場合と比較して、凹凸面1a上に潤滑液の膜を形成することで、流動性内容物3の排出により共に排出される潤滑液30の量を低減することが可能となる。この潤滑液30の保有量を低減させない効果も本発明の重要な利点といえる。
また、容器本体1を傾けると、図1(C)に示す厚い潤滑液30a側に対向する凹凸面(図示なし)、即ち、傾けたときに上になる凹凸面(すなわち、凹凸面が下向きになる側の面)から流動性内容物3が剥離されることになるが、液溜り31が剥離の起点となって側壁から底部へ進行する。液溜まり31がこのような剥離の起点のなることも内容物の滑り性を向上させる上で利点となる。
また、上記のように容器本体1を傾けて流動性内容物3の一部を排出した後は、容器本体1は正立状態に保持され、適宜、蓋体が装着されてシールされることとなるが、このような正立状態では、ヘッドスペース7部分に対応する位置の凹凸面1aを被覆している余剰の潤滑液30が流れ落ち、再び、流動性内容物3の上端面の周縁部には、図1(A)に示されるように潤滑液30の液溜り31が形成されることとなる。従って、再度、容器本体1を傾けて流動性内容物3を排出するときにも、上記と同様に、ヘッドスペース部分に潤滑液30の厚い膜30aが形成されることとなり、優れた滑り性が発現することとなる。
例えば、潤滑液30が毛管力によって凹凸面1a上に保持されてしまうと、滑り性を向上するに有効な量の液溜り31を形成することが困難となるおそれがある。ヘッドスペース7部分での凹凸面1aから流れ落ちる潤滑液30の量が少なくなってしまうからである。
本発明において、上述した容器本体1は、その内面が上記の微細突起8によって凹凸面1aとなっている。
特に、この容器本体1を、図2に示されているようなダイレクトブローボトルとして使用する場合には、内容物の絞り出しに適しているという点で、低密度ポリエチレンや直鎖低密度ポリエチレンに代表されるオレフィン系樹脂を用いることが好ましい。
特に、本発明では、上記の粗面化剤を樹脂に内添することにより微細突起8による凹凸面1aが形成されるため、粗面化のための粒子をスプレー噴霧等により塗布することにより凹凸面1aを形成する場合に比して、微細突起8の脱落などを有効に回避することができ、これは本発明の大きな利点である。
上記のようなエチレン・ビニルアルコール共重合体としては、一般に、エチレン含有量が20乃至60モル%、特に25乃至50モル%のエチレン-酢酸ビニル共重合体を、ケン化度が96モル%以上、特に99モル%以上となるようにケン化して得られる共重合体ケン化物が好適である。
上述したガスバリア性樹脂は、それぞれ単独で使用することもできるし、2種以上がブレンドされていてもよい。また、内面層や外面層との接着性を高めるたるために、ガスバリア性が損なわれない範囲で、ポリエチレン等のポリオレフィンがガスバリア性樹脂にブレンドされていてもよい。
このような接着樹脂層の形成に用いる接着剤樹脂はそれ自体公知であり、例えば、カルボニル基(>C=O)を主鎖若しくは側鎖に1乃至100meq/100g樹脂、特に10乃至100meq/100g樹脂の量で含有する樹脂、具体的には、マレイン酸、イタコン酸、フマル酸などのカルボン酸もしくはその無水物、アミド、エステルなどでグラフト変性されたオレフィン樹脂;エチレン-アクリル酸共重合体;イオン架橋オレフィン系共重合体;エチレン-酢酸ビニル共重合体;などが接着性樹脂として使用される。
このような容器本体1は、前述した各層を形成する樹脂を用いての押出成形によりプリフォームを形成した後、ブロー成形、プラグアシスト成形、真空成形等の後加工により所定の容器形状に賦形することにより製造される。
特に本発明では、この容器本体1は、図2に示されているような粘稠な流動性内容物の排出に適したダイレクトブローボトルの形態を有していることが最適である。このようなダイレクトブローボトルは、押出成形によりチューブ形状のプリフォームを成形し、このプリフォームの一端をピンチオフして閉じ、次いで、エア等のブロー流体をプリフォーム内に吹き込んでボトル形状に賦形することにより製造される。
本発明の包装容器においては、上記のようにして得られる容器本体1の内面である凹凸面1aを潤滑液30で被覆し、次いで、ヘッドスペース7が形成されるように流動性内容物3が充填される。
例えば、流動性内容物3が水や水を含む親水性物質である場合には、表面張力が10乃至40mN/m、特に16乃至35mN/mの範囲にある液体を潤滑液30として用いることが好ましく、フッ素系液体、フッ素系界面活性剤、シリコーンオイル、脂肪酸トリグリセライド、各種の植物油などが代表的である。この植物油としては、大豆油、菜種油、オリーブオイル、米油、コーン油、べに花油、ごま油、パーム油、ひまし油、アボガド油、ココナッツ油、アーモンド油、クルミ油、はしばみ油、サラダ油などが好適に使用できる。また、上記の液体をブレンドして用いてもよい。
即ち、図1(A)に示されているように、流動性内容物3が充填されている容器本体1が正立状態に保持されたとき、ヘッドスペース7に対面する部分に位置している凹凸面1から潤滑液30が垂れ落ちるように、過剰の潤滑液30で凹凸面1aの全体を被覆しておくことが必要である。
このために、この潤滑液30をスプレー噴霧により、容器本体1の内面全体に塗布することが必要であり、例えば、その塗布量は、平均して、2.5g/m2以上、特に10~40g/m2程度とするのがよい。このような塗布量とすることにより、凹凸面1aを形成している微細突起8が完全に潤滑液30で覆われ且つ微細突起8間の空隙が潤滑液30で完全に充満した状態となる。例えば、潤滑液30を容器本体1の内面を形成する樹脂に配合しておく等の方法では、このような過剰の潤滑液30により凹凸面1aを被覆して液溜り31を形成することはできない。
例えば、ケチャップ、各種ソース類、蜂蜜、マヨネーズ、マスタード、ジャム、チョコレートシロップ、乳液などは、水分を含む親水性物質であり、潤滑液30としては、シリコーンオイル、グリセリン脂肪酸エステル、食用油などの食品添加物として認可されている油性液体が好適に使用される。
尚、以下の実施例等で行った各種の特性、物性等の測定方法及び容器本体(ボトル)は次の通りである。

尚、粘度の測定にはレオメーター(ARES、ティー・エイ・インスツルメント製)を用いた。パラレルプレートのジオメトリ、ギャップ0.5mmにて定常流法で測定した値を示した。
流動性内容物をボトル内に200g充填し、100g取り出した後、1日以上正立保管した。この正立保管時での外観を目視にて評価した。
ここで、ボトル本体内に収容されている流動性内容物の上端面の周縁部において、潤滑液の液溜まりが形成されていることを目視で確認できるものを液溜り有り、目視で確認できないものを液溜り無し、と判断した。
潤滑液の液溜りの確認を行った後、100gの流動性内容物が内部に残っているボトルを用いて、室温下(25℃)において、正立状態のボトルから流動性内容物を50gスクイズして使用した後、ボトルをサックバックさせてボトル形状を復元させた後、室温下(25℃)で倒立させた際の内容物の滑り性を、倒立後から内容物がボトル口部側に滑り落ちきる時間により評価した。評価基準は次のとおりである。
◎:滑り落ちきる時間が、2分未満である。
〇:滑り落ちきる時間が、2分以上5分未満である。
△:滑り落ちきる時間が、5分以上10分未満である。
×:滑り落ちきる時間が、10分以上である。
容器本体として、ボトルA(5種9層ダイレクトブロー多層ボトル)を用意した。
ボトルAの内面にエアブラシを用いたエアスプレー法で、潤滑液として中鎖脂肪酸トリグリセリドを表1に示す量となるように塗布した。内面に潤滑液が塗布されたボトルを用いて、前述の、潤滑液の液溜りの確認、および、流動性内容物の滑り性試験を行った。結果をまとめて表1に示す。
包装容器として、ボトルB(5種9層ダイレクトブロー多層ボトル)を用意した以外は実施例1と同様の手順で中鎖脂肪酸トリグリセリドを表1に示す量となるように塗布し、潤滑液の液溜りの確認、および、流動性内容物の滑り性試験を行った。結果をまとめて表1に示す。
一方、ボトル内面に凹凸が形成されていないボトルBに潤滑液で被覆されている実験例4~6においては、潤滑液の液溜まりが確認された実験例4では滑り性がほどほど良好であるが、実験例5では液溜まりが確認されたにもかかわらず、滑り性が不良となることが分かる。
さらに、液溜まりの形成が確認されなかった実験例6では実験例3と同様に滑り性が不良となった。
実験例1と実験例4、実験例2と実験例5はそれぞれ同等量の潤滑液をボトル内面に塗布しているが、その滑り性はボトル内面に凹凸が形成されている場合の方が良好となっている。これは、ボトルを倒立(傾斜)した際、内容物の上端面の周縁部に形成されていた潤滑液の液溜まりによって、内容物の進行方向に潤滑液の厚い液膜が形成されることにより、優れた滑り性が発現されたと考えられる。
