在本发明的一个优选实施方式中,所述的热收缩膜具体膜结构为:
PA/Tie/EVA/Tie/PA/EVOH/PA/Tie/POP+mLLDPE。
本发明的第三方面,提供一种如上所述的适用于生产线自动快速包装的热收缩膜的生产工艺,包括以下步骤:
生产工艺,包括挤出塑化、多层共挤模头成型、冷却水骤冷、第一膜管预热、二次吹胀、牵引、热定型、牵引、收卷,多层共挤模头成型步骤中对形成阻隔层保护层的PA树脂的加热温度为255~265℃,冷却水骤冷定型步骤中冷却水的温度为5~15℃。热封层的POP和PE的加热温度为220~230℃。
优选的,具体包括以下步骤:
S1:将原料置于挤出机中共挤制得膜管,对膜管冷却处理;
S2:加热冷却后的膜管至预热温度,对膜管进行拉伸,然后利用压缩空气进行二次吹胀;
S3:将二次吹胀所得薄膜牵引至定型机构,再次加热至定型温度对薄膜定型处理,得多层共挤收缩膜成品。
其中,S1共挤薄膜由上而下挤出采用水冷,实现薄膜猝冷,控制结晶的生成,以利于分子链段的取向,可降低薄膜的雾度。优选的,S1中的水冷处理水温为5~15℃,流速为20~35L/min。
优选的,S2中预热温度为30~80℃;二次吹胀的吹胀比为1.5~4,牵引比为2.5~3.0。二次吹胀的吹胀比和牵引比与S1中共挤薄膜的结晶度相匹配。吹胀比和牵引比太大容易造成膜泡不稳定,且薄膜容易出现皱折;太小则成品的收缩率低于30%,达不到成品包装的要求。
优选的,S3中定型温度为30~70℃。三泡的定型作用可以有效的抑制普通收缩膜在存储过程中的自由收缩(存储环境温度下,分子链的自然解取向)。
更优选的,S1中的水冷处理水温为10℃,流速为20~30L/min。
S2中预热温度为75℃;二次吹胀的吹胀比为3.0,牵引比为3.0。
S3中定型温度为60℃。
与现有技术相比,本发明优点和有益效果在于:
1、热封材料的选择:为提高材料的抗污染热封能力及热封热粘强度,在热封层使用POP、ULDPE、SURLYN等材料;热封层采用了密度在0.9g/cm3左右的PE热封层,或沙林热封层。具有优异的低温热封性与高效的抗污染热封性能。起封温度比常规材料降低10-20℃。
除了低起封温度,还需要提高热封强度上升速度,即在同样的温度区间内,热封强度增加更多。通常低熔点的材料会有较低的起封温度,但是其热封强度相应较弱,在快速自动包装的过程中,由于材料受热时间较短,瞬间热封强度不够会导致热封问题,因此在降低热封起封温度的同时,提高热封强度是这种自动包装线应用需解决的一大要点。本发明通过热封层和次内层做辅助热封,来达到低起封温度和高热封强度的协调。
2、薄膜平整度:通过结构层材料的选择来控制薄膜的柔软度,使用较低密度≤0.91g/cm3的PE,或EVA等较柔软的材料用在结构层,使其具有较好的 薄膜平整度,柔软性。
3.薄膜的收缩性能:一方面通过工艺条件来控制,另一方面通过材料来控制,特别是PA层材料会限制薄膜的收缩率,选择结晶较慢的PA材料,增加共聚尼龙的比例,添加无定型尼龙等来提高薄膜的收缩率。
本发明的新型热收缩膜具有收缩袋所拥有的优异性能高阻隔,高强度,热封性能好,同时具有优良的走机性能,适用于全自动在线包装,本发明将改变收缩袋的包装方式及包装效率。

下面结合实施例对本发明提供的具体实施方式作详细说明。
实施例1
所述的热收缩膜由外至内依次包括表层1(PA)、结构层2(PE)、阻隔层3(PA/EVOH/PA,包括EVOH阻隔中间层31和两侧的阻隔层保护层32为PA层)、热封层4(POP+mLLDPE)。所述的表层1、结构层2、阻隔层3和热封层4之间分别通过粘接树脂5(Tie)连接。
具体膜结构为:PA/Tie/PE/Tie/PA/EVOH/PA/Tie/POP+mLLDPE;
表层1和中间两层的PA均采用PA6、共聚PA和无定型PA共混而成,PA层的树脂中共聚PA的质量百分比为10%,热封层4POP的含量为90%,薄膜总厚度为75um。PE为较低密度(≤0.91g/cm3)的PE。
生产工艺包括以下步骤:
S1:将原料置于挤出机中共挤制得膜管,对膜管冷却处理;S1中的水冷处理水温为10℃,流速为20~30L/min。
S2:加热冷却后的膜管至预热温度,对膜管进行拉伸,然后利用压缩空气 进行二次吹胀;S2中预热温度为75℃;二次吹胀的吹胀比为3.0,牵引比为3.0。
S3:将二次吹胀所得薄膜牵引至定型机构,再次加热至定型温度对薄膜定型处理,得多层共挤收缩膜成品。S3中定型温度为60℃。
实施例2-4
在热封层加入茂金属材料mLLDPE,与实施例1的区别是热封层POP的含量分别为85%、70%、50%。
实施例5-8
表层和中间两层PA,PA层的树脂中共聚PA的质量百分比分别为20%、30%、40%、50%。其中S2中二次吹胀的吹胀比为2.0-4.5,牵引比为3.0-3.5。
对比例1
具体膜结构为:PA/Tie/PE/Tie/PA/EVOH/PA/Tie/PE。
对比例2
具体膜结构为:PA/Tie/PE/Tie/PA/EVOH/PA/Tie/POP。
对比例1-2的生产工艺步骤与实施例1相同,表层和中间两层的PA均采用PA6。
实施例9
性能检测对比:
对实施例1-8和对比例1-2薄膜的低温热封性和收缩率进行对比。
实施例1-5和对比例1-2低温热封性数据(取热封温度点值90℃、100℃、110℃、120℃、130℃、140℃)见下表1,实施例1-8和对比例1-2的90℃收缩率%见下表2:

(1)通过对比例1和2可以看到,热封层单使用POP或mLLDPE,薄膜均不具备低温热封的性能,且热封强度在所需要的温度区间都不高。
(2)通过对比例1和2和实施例1可以看到,在PA层加入共聚PA和无定型PA后,薄膜的热收缩率有了明显的提高。
(3)通过实施例5/6/7/8可以看到,通过增加共聚PA的比例,可以提高薄膜的热收缩率。这主要是由于共聚PA中可取向的无规链段更多。
(4)通过实施例3~4可以看到,通过POP和mLLDPE的辅配,具有很好的协同效应,既降低了起封温度,又提高了热封强度,解决了低起封温度,在同样的温度区间内,热封强度增加更多的问题。
(5)通过实施例1和对比例1对比例2,POP的加入使得薄膜的起封温度降低20-40℃,随着混合POP的量减少mLLDPE增加,低温热封强度有所提升。
以上已对本发明创造的较佳实施例进行了具体说明,但本发明创造并不限于所述实施例,熟悉本领域的技术人员在不违背本发明创造精神的前提下还可做出种种的等同的变型或替换,这些等同的变型或替换均包含在本申请权利要求所限定的范围内。
