The second chuck 862 may be connected to the first chuck 861 via a hinge mechanism.

When a film to be measured such as a stretched plastic film, a vapor-deposited film, and a laminated film is available in a state before the film is processed into a packaged product, the test piece 80 is produced by cutting the film to be measured. May be. Moreover, the test piece 80 may be produced by cutting a packaged product produced from the packaging material 30 such as a bag and taking out a film to be measured. FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a method for preparing the test piece 80 by cutting the front film 14 or the back film 15 of the bag 10. When measuring the loop stiffness of the packaging material 30 in the flow direction, the front film 14 or the back film 15 of the bag 10 is cut so that the long side direction of the test piece coincides with the flow direction as indicated by reference numeral 80A in FIG. To prepare a test piece. When measuring the loop stiffness of the packaging material 30 in the vertical direction, the front film 14 or the back film 15 of the bag 10 is cut so that the long side direction of the test piece coincides with the vertical direction as indicated by reference numeral 80B in FIG.

A method for measuring the loop stiffness of the test piece 80 using the loop stiffness measuring device 85 will be described. First, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the test piece 80 is placed on the first chuck 861 of the pair of chuck portions 86 arranged with a gap L <b> 3. In the present application, the interval L3 is set so that the length of the loop portion 81 (to be described later) (hereinafter also referred to as loop length) is 60 mm. The test piece 80 includes an inner surface 80x located on the first chuck 861 side and an outer surface 80y located on the opposite side of the inner surface 80x. When the test piece 80 is made of the packaging material 30, the inner surface 80x and the outer surface 80y of the test piece 80 coincide with the inner surface 30x and the outer surface 30y of the packaging material 30. When the loop portion 81 described later is formed on the test piece 80, the inner surface 80 x is positioned inside the loop portion 81 and the outer surface 80 y is positioned outside the loop portion 81. Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 8, the second chuck 862 is disposed on the test piece 80 so as to grip the end portion in the long side direction of the test piece 80 with the first chuck 861.

Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 9, at least one of the pair of chuck portions 86 is slid on the support member 87 in a direction in which the distance between the pair of chuck portions 86 is reduced. Thereby, the loop part 81 can be formed in the test piece 80. A test piece 80 shown in FIG. 9 includes a loop portion 81, a pair of intermediate portions 82, and a pair of fixing portions 83. The pair of fixing portions 83 are portions of the test piece 80 that are gripped by the pair of chuck portions 86. The pair of intermediate portions 82 are portions of the test piece 80 that are located between the loop portion 81 and the pair of intermediate portions 82. As shown in FIG. 9, the chuck portion 86 is slid on the support member 87 until the inner surfaces 80x of the pair of intermediate portions 82 come into contact with each other. Thereby, the loop part 81 which has a loop length of 60 mm can be formed. The loop length of the loop portion 81 is such that the position P1 where the surface on the loop portion 81 side of one second chuck 862 and the test piece 80 intersect, the surface on the loop portion 81 side of the other second chuck 862, and the test piece 80 This is the length of the test piece 80 between the position P2 and the position P2. The interval L3 is a value obtained by adding 2 × t to the length of the loop portion 81 when the thickness of the test piece 80 is ignored. t is the thickness of the second chuck 862 of the chuck portion 86.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 10, the posture of the chuck portion 86 is adjusted so that the protruding direction Y of the loop portion 81 with respect to the chuck portion 86 is horizontal. For example, the posture of the chuck portion 86 supported by the support member 87 is adjusted by moving the support member 87 so that the normal direction of the support member 87 faces the horizontal direction. In the example shown in FIG. 10, the protruding direction Y of the loop portion 81 coincides with the thickness direction of the chuck portion. In addition, the load cell 88 is prepared at a position away from the second chuck 862 by the distance Z1 in the projecting direction Y of the loop portion 81. In the present application, the distance Z1 is 50 mm. Subsequently, the load cell 88 is moved toward the loop portion 81 of the test piece 80 at a speed V by a distance Z2 shown in FIG. As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the distance Z2 is set so that the load cell 88 comes into contact with the loop portion 81 and then the load cell 88 pushes the loop portion 81 toward the chuck portion 86.

In this case, the distance Z3 between the load cell 88 and the second chuck 862 of the chuck portion 86 in a state where the load cell 88 pushes the loop portion 81 toward the chuck portion 86 is 10 mm. The speed V for moving the load cell 88 was 3.3 mm / second.

Subsequently, the load cell 88 shown in FIG. 11 is moved to the chuck portion 86 side by a distance Z2, and the load cell 88 is added to the load cell 88 from the loop portion 81 in a state where the load cell 88 pushes the loop portion 81 of the test piece 80. After the load value stabilizes, record the load value. The load value thus obtained is adopted as the loop stiffness of the film constituting the test piece 80.

When the high stiffness polyester film is a high stiffness PET film containing PET as a main component, the PET constituting the high stiffness PET film may contain biomass-derived PET. In this case, the high stiffness PET film may be composed of only biomass-derived PET. Alternatively, the high stiffness PET film may be composed of biomass-derived PET and fossil fuel-derived PET. Since the high-stiffness PET film contains biomass-derived PET, the amount of PET derived from fossil fuel can be reduced compared to the conventional case, so that the amount of carbon dioxide emission can be reduced and the environmental load can be reduced. it can. Biomass-derived PET uses biomass-derived ethylene glycol as a diol unit and fossil fuel-derived terephthalic acid as a dicarboxylic acid unit. Fossil fuel-derived PET uses fossil fuel-derived ethylene glycol as diol units and fossil fuel-derived terephthalic acid as dicarboxylic acid units.

Since carbon dioxide in the atmosphere contains C14 at a constant ratio (105.5 pMC), the C14 content in plants that take in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and grow, for example, corn, is also about 105.5 pMC. It is known. It is also known that fossil fuel contains almost no C14. Therefore, the ratio of carbon derived from biomass can be calculated by measuring the ratio of C14 contained in all carbon atoms in PET. In the present invention, “biomass degree” indicates the weight ratio of biomass-derived components. Taking PET as an example, PET is obtained by polymerizing ethylene glycol containing 2 carbon atoms and terephthalic acid containing 8 carbon atoms in a molar ratio of 1: 1. When only biomass-derived components are used as the ethylene glycol of PET, the weight ratio of biomass-derived components in PET is 31.25%, so the theoretical value of the biomass degree of PET is 31.25%. Specifically, since the mass of PET is 192 and the mass derived from biomass-derived ethylene glycol is 60, 60 ÷ 192 × 100 = 31.25. Moreover, the weight ratio of the biomass-derived component in PET derived from fossil fuel is 0%, and the biomass degree of PET derived from fossil fuel is 0%. In the present invention, the biomass degree of the high stiffness PET film is preferably 5.0% or more, and more preferably 10.0% or more.

For example, biomass-derived ethylene glycol can be obtained from biomass ethanol by a conventionally known method, such as a method of producing ethylene glycol via ethylene oxide. Examples of raw materials for biomass ethanol include corn, sugar cane, beet, and manioc. Moreover, you may use commercially available biomass ethylene glycol, for example, the biomass ethylene glycol marketed from India Glycol can be used conveniently. India Glycoal's biomass ethylene glycol is made from sugarcane waste molasses.

Aliphatic isocyanate compounds, or adducts or multimers of the above-mentioned various isocyanate compounds can be used.

The material constituting the first adhesive layer 45 preferably has a higher thermal conductivity than the materials constituting the first stretched plastic film 40, the second stretched plastic film 50, and the sealant layer 70. For example, the thermal conductivity of the material constituting the first adhesive layer 45 is preferably 1.0 W / m · K or more, more preferably 3.0 W / m · K or more. The thermal conductivity of polyurethane is in the range of 3.0 W / m · K to 5.0 W / m · K, for example 5.0 W / m · K. Due to the high thermal conductivity of the material constituting the first adhesive layer 45, when the bag 10 made using the packaging material 30 is heated, the heat generated in the housing portion 17 is the inner surface 30x of the packaging material 30. Heat is easily diffused in the surface direction of the packaging material 30 while being transferred from the side to the outer surface 30y side. Thereby, since the heat dissipation of the packaging material 30 can be improved, the temperature rise of the packaging material 30 can be suppressed. As a result, the packaging material 30 can be prevented from being damaged by heat when the bag 10 is heated. That is, the heat resistance of the packaging material 30 can be increased.

Among these, aromatic isocyanate compounds elute components that cannot be used in food applications under high-temperature environments such as heat sterilization. Incidentally, the second adhesive layer 55 is in contact with the sealant layer 70. For this reason, when the 2nd adhesive bond layer 55 contains an aromatic isocyanate compound, the component eluted from the aromatic isocyanate compound adheres to the content accommodated in the accommodating part 17 which contact | connects the sealant layer 70.

The boil process is a process of filling the bag 10 with the contents and sealing the bag 10 and then bathing the bag 10 under atmospheric pressure. The temperature of boil processing is 90 degreeC or more and 100 degrees C or less, for example.

The melting point of the material constituting the sealant layer 70 is preferably 150 ° C. or higher, and more preferably 160 ° C. or higher. By increasing the melting point of the sealant layer 70, the bag 10 can be retorted at a high temperature, and therefore the time required for the retort processing can be shortened. The melting point of the material constituting the sealant layer 70 is lower than the melting point of the resin constituting the stretched

When considering from the viewpoint of retort treatment, a material mainly composed of propylene can be used as a material constituting the sealant layer 70. Here, the material having “propylene as a main component” means a material having a propylene content of 90% by mass or more.

When polyethylene is used as the material constituting the sealant layer 70, a melting point of 100 ° C. or higher can be realized, for example, when the density of polyethylene is 0.920 g / cm ³ or higher. Specific examples of the sealant layer for constituting the sealant layer 70 having a melting point of 100 ° C. or higher include TUX-HC manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals Tosero, L6101 manufactured by Toyobo, and LS700C manufactured by Idemitsu Unitech.

In the propylene / ethylene block copolymer, the mass ratio of the sea component made of polypropylene is higher than the mass ratio of the island component made of the ethylene / propylene copolymer rubber component. For example, in the propylene / ethylene block copolymer, the mass ratio of the sea component made of polypropylene is at least 51% by mass, preferably 60% by mass or more, and more preferably 70% by mass or more.

The single-layer sealant layer may further contain a second thermoplastic resin in addition to the first thermoplastic resin made of propylene / ethylene block copolymer.

The medium density polyethylene and the high density polyethylene are obtained, for example, by polymerizing ethylene at a medium pressure or low pressure of 1 atm or more and less than 1000 atm.

The medium density polyethylene and the high density polyethylene may partially contain a copolymer of ethylene and α-olefin. Even when ethylene is polymerized at an intermediate pressure or a low pressure, when a copolymer of ethylene and an α-olefin is contained, an intermediate density or low density polyethylene can be produced. Such polyethylene is referred to as the above-mentioned linear low density polyethylene. The linear low density polyethylene is obtained by introducing a short chain branch by copolymerizing an α-olefin with a linear polymer obtained by polymerizing ethylene at a medium pressure or a low pressure. Examples of α-olefins include 1-butene (C ₄ ), 1-hexene (C ₆ ), 4-methylpentene (C ₆ ), 1-octene (C ₈ ) and the like. The density of the linear low density polyethylene is, for example, 0.915 g / cm ³ or more and 0.945 g / cm ³ or less.

R ₁ and R ₂ are both H (hydrogen atom) or an alkyl group such as CH ₃ or C ₂ H ₅ . J and k are both integers of 1 or more. J is larger than k. That is, in the α-olefin copolymer represented by the formula (IV), the left side structure including R ₁ is the base. R ₁ is, for example, H, and R ₂ is, for example, C ₂ H ₅ .

In the sealant layer, the mass ratio of the first thermoplastic resin made of propylene / ethylene block copolymer is higher than the mass ratio of the second thermoplastic resin containing at least the α-olefin copolymer or polyethylene. For example, in the single-layer sealant layer, the mass ratio of the first thermoplastic resin composed of the propylene / ethylene block copolymer is at least 51% by mass, preferably 60% by mass or more, and more preferably 70%. It is at least mass%.

As described above, the second thermoplastic resin can contribute to enhancing the impact resistance of the sealant layer.

The sealant layer 70 may have an easy peel property. The easy peel property means that, for example, when the packaging material 30 having the sealant layer 70 is used to form a container lid, the lid is easily peeled from the flange portion of the container at the lower surface thereof, that is, the sealant layer 70. It is a characteristic. The easy peel property can be expressed, for example, by configuring the sealant layer 70 with two or more kinds of resins and making one resin and another resin incompatible. Examples of the resin capable of exhibiting easy peel properties include a mixed resin of polyethylene and polypropylene such as high-density polyethylene.

When the sealant layer 70 has an easy peel property, as shown in FIG. 12, the sealant layer 70 is positioned on the inner side of the first layer 71, the first layer 71 positioned on the second stretched plastic film 50 side, And a second layer 72 constituting the inner surface 30x of the packaging material 30. As the first layer 71 and the second layer 72 of the sealant layer 70 having easy peel properties, there are mainly two types such as A type and B type described below.

In the A type sealant layer 70, the first layer 71 is a layer mainly composed of polyethylene, and the second layer 72 is a layer containing a mixed resin of polyethylene and polypropylene.

As the polypropylene in the second layer 72 of the A type sealant layer 70, for example, an ethylene-propylene random copolymer can be used.

In the A type sealant layer 70, the ratio of the thickness of the first layer 71 to the thickness of the second layer 72 can be 5: 1 to 10: 1.

In the B-type sealant layer 70, the first layer 71 is a layer mainly composed of polypropylene, and the second layer 72 is a layer containing a mixed resin of polyethylene and polypropylene. In the second layer 72, the blending ratio of polypropylene is larger than the blending ratio of polyethylene. The mass ratio of polypropylene and polyethylene in the second layer 72 is 6: 4 to 8: 2.

When the packaging material 30 including the B-type sealant layer 70 is used in a packaged product for heat sterilization, the density of the polyethylene in the sealant layer 70 is preferably 0.940 g / cm ³ or more.

As the polypropylene in the first layer 71 of the B type sealant layer 70, for example, an ethylene-propylene block copolymer can be used. As the polypropylene in the second layer 72 of the B type sealant layer 70, for example, an ethylene-propylene random copolymer can be used.

The sealant layer 70 may be a resin layer provided on the inner surface side of the second stretched plastic film 50 by an extrusion method or the like. In this case, the second adhesive layer 55 described above may not be present between the second stretched plastic film 50 and the sealant layer 70.

(Other layers)
The packaging material 30 may further include a printing layer 32. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the printing layer 32 is located between the first stretched plastic film 40 and the first adhesive layer 45.

As shown in FIG. 2, the packaging material 30 may further include a printing layer 32 provided on the first stretched plastic film 40. The printed layer 32 is a layer for displaying information on the contents and the packaged product or imparting aesthetics to the packaged product such as the bag 10. The print layer expresses letters, numbers, symbols, figures, patterns, and the like. As a material constituting the printing layer, gravure printing ink or flexographic printing ink can be used. As a specific example of the ink for gravure printing, FINAT manufactured by DIC Graphics Corporation can be given.

FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing a modification of the layer structure of the packaging material 30. As shown in FIG. 3, the packaging material 30 may include a vapor deposition layer 34 positioned on the inner surface 30 x side surface of the first stretched plastic film 40. The packaging material 30 may further include a gas barrier coating film 36 that is located on the surface of the vapor deposition layer 34 and has transparency.

FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view showing a modification of the layer structure of the packaging material 30. As shown in FIG. 4, the vapor deposition layer 34 may be located on the surface on the outer surface 30 y side of the second stretched plastic film 50. A gas barrier coating film 36 may be provided on the surface of the vapor deposition layer 34.

Hereinafter, the vapor deposition layer 34 and the gas barrier coating film 36 will be described.

The vapor deposition layer 34 is a layer provided on the packaging material 30 in order to improve the gas barrier property of the packaging material 30. Examples of the material constituting the vapor deposition layer 34 include metals such as aluminum, metal oxides such as aluminum oxide, and inorganic oxides such as silicon oxide.

The vapor deposition layer 34 functions as a layer having a gas barrier function that prevents permeation of oxygen gas, water vapor, and the like. Two or more vapor deposition layers 34 may be provided. When it has two or more vapor deposition layers 34, each may have the same composition or different compositions. Examples of the method for forming the vapor deposition layer 34 include physical vapor deposition methods (Physical Vapor Deposition method, PVD method) such as vacuum vapor deposition, sputtering, and ion plating, or plasma chemical vapor deposition, Examples thereof include chemical vapor deposition and chemical vapor deposition (chemical vapor deposition, CVD) such as photochemical vapor deposition. Specifically, a vapor deposition layer can be formed on a film formation roller using a roller-type vapor deposition film forming apparatus.

The vapor deposition layer 34 may be a transparent vapor deposition layer formed of an inorganic material having transparency, such as aluminum oxide (aluminum oxide) or silicon oxide. In particular, when the printing layer 32 is provided on the inner surface 30x side of the vapor deposition layer 34, the vapor deposition layer 34 is configured as a transparent vapor deposition layer. It is preferable to use an amorphous thin film of aluminum oxide as the transparent vapor deposition layer. Specifically, the transparent vapor-deposited layer is an amorphous thin film of aluminum oxide represented by the formula AlO _X (wherein X represents a number in the range of 0.5 to 1.5). As the transparent vapor deposition layer, an amorphous thin film of aluminum oxide in which the value of X decreases in the depth direction from the film surface toward the inner surface can be used. The amorphous thin film of aluminum oxide is represented by the formula AlO _X (wherein X represents a number in the range of 0.5 to 1.5), and in the depth direction from the thin film surface toward the inner surface. It is preferable that the value of X is increasing. In addition, as a value of X in the above formula, a value of X = 0.5 or more can be basically used. However, when X is less than 1.0, coloring is intense and transparent. Since it is inferior in property, it is preferable to use the thing of X = 1.0 or more. Moreover, since the thing of X = 1.5 is a thing in which Al and oxygen were completely oxidized, the thing to X = 1.5 can be used as an upper limit. In addition, when the value of X in said formula is 0, it is a perfect inorganic simple substance (pure substance), and is not transparent.

The rate of decrease in the value of X is determined by using a surface analyzer such as an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (Xray Photoelectron Spectroscopy: XPS) or a secondary ion mass spectrometer (Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy: SIMS). This can be confirmed by conducting an elemental analysis of the transparent vapor-deposited layer using a method of analyzing by ion etching or the like.

<First Preferred Form of Transparent Deposition Layer>
Hereinafter, the 1st preferable form of a transparent vapor deposition layer is demonstrated. The transparent vapor deposition layer may be a layer made of a mixture of inorganic compounds containing a covalent bond between an aluminum atom and a carbon atom. In this case, the transparent vapor deposition layer is a covalent bond between an aluminum atom and a carbon atom at the peak measured by ion etching in the depth direction using an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (measurement conditions: X-ray source AlKα, X-ray output 120 W). In addition, it may have a gas barrier property that is transparent and that prevents permeation of oxygen, water vapor, and the like.

A covalent bond between a metal atom and a carbon atom may be formed at the interface between the transparent vapor deposition layer and the stretched plastic film. For example, when the transparent vapor deposition layer contains aluminum oxide, a covalent bond between an aluminum atom and a carbon atom may be formed at the interface between the stretched plastic film and the transparent vapor deposition layer. The covalent bond can be detected by measurement by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (hereinafter referred to as “XPS measurement” for short).

Moreover, in the transparent vapor deposition layer, the existence ratio of the covalent bond between the aluminum atom and the carbon atom is the total bond including carbon atoms observed when the interface between the transparent vapor deposition layer and the stretched plastic film is measured by XPS measurement. It is preferable that it is within the range of 0.3% or more and 30% or less. Thereby, the adhesiveness of a transparent vapor deposition layer and an extending | stretched plastic film is strengthened, transparency is excellent, and the thing of the performance with a good balance is obtained as a gas barrier property vapor deposition film.

If the abundance ratio of the covalent bond between the aluminum atom and the carbon atom is less than 0.3%, the adhesion of the transparent deposition layer is not sufficiently improved, and it is difficult to stably maintain the barrier property.

Furthermore, the AL (aluminum) / O (oxygen) ratio of the transparent vapor-deposited layer mainly composed of aluminum oxide is such that the transparent vapor-deposited layer on the opposite side of the stretched plastic film from the interface between the stretched plastic film and the transparent vapor-deposited layer. In the range up to 3 nm toward the surface, it is preferably 1.0 or less.
Within the range from the interface between the transparent vapor-deposited layer and the stretched plastic film to the surface of the transparent vapor-deposited layer opposite to the stretched plastic film, if the AL / O ratio exceeds 1.0, the stretched plastic film and the transparent vapor-deposited film Adhesion between the layers becomes insufficient, the proportion of aluminum increases, and the transparency of the transparent vapor deposition layer decreases.

The thickness of the transparent vapor deposition layer is, for example, 20 mm or more and 200 mm, preferably 30 mm or more and 150 mm. If it is less than 30 mm, gas barrier properties may be insufficient. On the other hand, if it exceeds 150 mm, the gas barrier performance of the packaging material 30 may not be maintained. The reason for this is not clear, but if the thickness of the transparent vapor deposition layer exceeds 150 mm, the flexibility of the packaging material 30 decreases, and when the packaging material 30 is used for the bag 10, a part of the transparent vapor deposition layer is cracked or pinholed It is considered that gas barrier properties are reduced due to the occurrence of gas. The thickness of the transparent vapor deposition layer is preferably 40 mm or more and 130 mm or less, more preferably 50 mm or more and 120 mm or less. The thickness of the transparent vapor deposition layer can be measured by a fundamental parameter method using, for example, a fluorescent X-ray analyzer (trade name: RIX2000 type, manufactured by Rigaku Corporation). Moreover, as a means to change the thickness of a transparent vapor deposition layer, it can carry out by the method of changing the deposition rate of a transparent vapor deposition layer, the method of changing the speed | rate of vapor deposition, etc.

The surface of the stretched plastic film may be pretreated such as corona discharge treatment, flame treatment, or plasma treatment. When the pretreatment is plasma treatment, plasma is supplied to the surface of the stretched plastic film by a pretreatment apparatus in a reduced pressure environment of 0.1 Pa or more and 100 Pa or less. Plasma uses an inert gas such as argon alone or a mixed gas of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide and one or more of them as a plasma source gas, and the plasma source gas is excited by a potential difference due to a high-frequency voltage or the like. By doing so, it can be generated.

プラズマ By pretreatment, plasma can be confined in the vicinity of the surface of the stretched plastic film. Thereby, the shape of the surface of a stretched plastic film, a chemical bonding state, and a functional group can be changed, and the chemical property of the surface of a stretched plastic film can be changed. This makes it possible to improve the adhesion between the stretched plastic film and the transparent vapor deposition layer.

<Second Preferred Form of Transparent Deposition Layer>
Next, the 2nd preferable form of a transparent vapor deposition layer is demonstrated. In addition, in this application, the transparent vapor deposition layer may satisfy | fill both the above-mentioned 1st preferable form and the 2nd preferable form demonstrated below, and may satisfy | fill only any one form. Moreover, the case where the transparent vapor deposition layer of this application does not satisfy | fill both of the above-mentioned 1st preferable form and the 2nd preferable form demonstrated below can also be considered.

In the transparent vapor deposition layer, a transition region defining the adhesion strength between a base material such as a stretched plastic film and a transparent vapor deposition layer such as an aluminum oxide vapor deposition film may be formed in the transparent vapor deposition layer. When the transparent vapor deposition layer is an aluminum oxide vapor deposition film, the transition region is formed on the aluminum hydroxide detected by etching the aluminum oxide vapor deposition film using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS). Includes a transforming bond structure (Al2O4H). The transition region transformation rate defined by the ratio of the transformed transition region defined using TOF-SIMS to the aluminum oxide vapor deposition film defined by etching using TOF-SIMS is preferably 45% or less. Such a form is based on the knowledge that by specifying the transformation rate of the transition region, it is possible to specify the packaging material 30 having barrier properties with improved adhesion strength between the stretched plastic film and the aluminum oxide deposition film. Is based.

The transition region metamorphic rate will be explained in detail. First, etching is performed from the outermost surface of the aluminum oxide vapor deposition film by Cs using a time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer, and the element bond of the interface between the aluminum oxide vapor deposition film and the stretched plastic film and the element bond of the vapor deposition film are performed. taking measurement. Subsequently, respective measured graphs are obtained for the measured elements and element bonds as shown in FIG.

Focus on AL2O4H in order to make the transition region at the interface between the stretched plastic film and the vapor deposition film formed by aluminum hydroxide in the aluminum oxide vapor deposition film as much as possible. 1) Position where the intensity H ₀ of the graph of element C6 is halved (The position where the intensity (Intensity) becomes H ₁ in FIG. 13) is specified as the interface between the stretched plastic film and the aluminum oxide deposition film (the horizontal axis (Cycle) is the position where T ₁ in FIG. 13). Further, the surface from the interface to the surface of the aluminum oxide vapor deposition film (the position where the horizontal axis (Cycle) is T ₀ in FIG. 13) is specified as the aluminum oxide vapor deposition film. Subsequently, 2) peak in the graph representing the element binding AL2O4H (horizontal axis shows 13 (Cycle) is asked to T ₂ of the position) is specified from the position of the peak to the position of the interface as a transition region. Subsequently, 3) (transition region from the peak of the element bond AL2O4H to the interface / aluminum oxide vapor deposition film) × 100 (%) is obtained to determine the conversion rate of the transition region into aluminum hydroxide. In the example shown in FIG. 13, the metamorphic rate is (W2 / W1) × 100 (%).

In forming the aluminum oxide vapor-deposited film, it is preferable to perform plasma pretreatment on the surface of the stretched plastic film before the aluminum oxide vapor-deposition step in order to obtain a preferable value for the transition rate of the transition region of the aluminum oxide vapor-deposited film. In the plasma pretreatment, the mixing ratio of oxygen gas supplied as plasma gas and argon or helium is 5 to 1, preferably 2 to 1. By setting the mixing ratio to 5: 1, the film formation energy of evaporated aluminum on the surface of the stretched plastic film is increased, and by further setting 2: 1, the formation of aluminum hydroxide is near the interface of the substrate. It is formed, that is, the transformation rate of the transition region is lowered.

As a vapor deposition method for forming a vapor deposition film, various vapor deposition methods can be applied among physical vapor deposition and chemical vapor deposition. The physical vapor deposition method can be selected from the group consisting of vapor deposition method, sputtering method, ion plating method, ion beam assist method, and cluster ion beam method. Chemical vapor deposition methods include plasma CVD method, plasma polymerization method, thermal method. It can be selected from the group consisting of CVD method and catalytic reaction type CVD method. In this embodiment, a physical vapor deposition method is preferred.

The thickness of the aluminum oxide vapor deposition film formed as described above is preferably 3 nm or more and 50 nm or less, and preferably 8 nm or more and 30 nm or less. If it is this range, it will be easy to hold | maintain barrier property.

When preparing the above transparent gas barrier composition, for example, a silane coupling agent or the like may be added. As said silane coupling agent, known organic reactive group containing organoalkoxysilane can be used. In particular, an organoalkoxysilane having an epoxy group is preferably used. Specifically, for example, γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-glycidoxypropylmethyldiethoxysilane, or β- (3, 4-epoxycyclohexyl) ethyltrimethoxysilane and the like can be used. The above silane coupling agents may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

The water vapor permeability is measured under the conditions of 40 ° C. and 90% RH using a water vapor barrier measuring device PERMATRAN manufactured by Mocon, USA according to JIS K7129 (Method B).

Next, the layer structure of the lower film 16 will be described.

The layer structure of the lower film 16 is arbitrary as long as it has an inner surface that can be joined to the inner surface of the front film 14 and the inner surface of the back film 15. For example, the packaging material 30 described above may be used as the lower film 16 as with the front film 14 and the back film 15. Alternatively, a film having an inner surface constituted by a sealant layer and a configuration different from that of the packaging material 30 may be used as the lower film 16.

Method for producing a packaging material will be described an example of a method for manufacturing the packaging material 30.

First, the first stretched plastic film 40 and the second stretched plastic film 50 described above are prepared. The first stretched plastic film 40 or the second stretched plastic film 50 is provided with a printing layer 32, a vapor deposition layer 34, a gas barrier coating film 36, and the like as necessary.

Subsequently, the first stretched plastic film 40 and the second stretched plastic film 50 are laminated via the first adhesive layer 45 by a dry laminating method. Thereafter, the laminate including the first stretched plastic film 40 and the second stretched plastic film 50 and the sealant film for constituting the sealant layer 70 are laminated via the second adhesive layer 55 by a dry laminating method. . Thus, the packaging material 30 including the first stretched plastic film 40, the second stretched plastic film 50, and the sealant layer 70 can be obtained.

Alternatively, the second stretched plastic film 50 and the sealant film are first laminated by the dry lamination method through the second adhesive layer 55, and then the first stretched plastic film 40, the second stretched plastic film 50, and the sealant layer are laminated. The packaging material 30 may be manufactured by laminating the laminated body including the laminated body via the first adhesive layer 45 by a dry laminating method.

In the dry laminating method, first, an adhesive composition is applied to one of two laminated films. Subsequently, the applied adhesive composition is dried to volatilize the solvent. Then, two films are laminated | stacked through the adhesive composition after drying. Subsequently, aging is performed for 24 hours or more in an environment of 20 ° C. or higher, for example, in a state where the two laminated films are wound.

Method for producing a bag Next, a method for producing the bag 10 with the packaging material 30 described above. First, the front film 14 and the back film 15 made of the packaging material 30 are prepared. In addition, the lower film 16 in a folded state is inserted between the front film 14 and the back film 15. Subsequently, the inner surfaces of the films are heat-sealed to form seal portions such as the lower seal portion 12a and the side seal portion 13a. Further, the films bonded to each other by heat sealing are cut into an appropriate shape to obtain a bag 10 shown in FIG.

Subsequently, the contents 10 are filled into the bag 10 through the opening 11b of the upper portion 11. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 14, portions of the pair of side seal portions 13 a of the bag 10 that are close to the upper portion 11 are gripped by the pair of chuck portions 105. Further, as indicated by an arrow P in FIG. 14, the chuck portion 105 is moved in such a direction that the interval between the pair of chuck portions 105 becomes narrow in the width direction of the bag 10. Thereby, the surface film 14 and the back film 15 are deformed so as to form the opening 11b in the upper part 11. At this time, as shown in FIG. 14, the suction part 106 may be attached to the outer surfaces of the front film 14 and the back film 15, and the suction part 106 may be moved in the direction of the arrow Q. Thereby, it becomes easy to form the opening part 11b. Subsequently, the contents 18 are filled into the bag 10 through the opening 11b. Thereafter, the upper part 11 is heat-sealed to form the upper seal part 11a. Thus, the bag 10 in which the contents 18 are accommodated and sealed can be obtained.

The contents 18 are cooked foods containing moisture, such as curry, stew, and soup. The contents 18 may have a material containing a large amount of oil, such as meat and fish and seasonings for them. In addition to food, items that can be heated by hot water can be stored in the bag 10 as contents. In addition, the bag 10 may contain contents that do not require heating.

In the present embodiment, a high stiffness polyester film is used as the first stretched plastic film 40 or the second stretched plastic film 50 of the packaging material 30 constituting the bag 10. For this reason, the packaging material 30 and the bag 10 can have rigidity and puncture resistance. Thereby, for example, when a sharp member with a sharp tip comes into contact with the bag 10, the bag 10 can be prevented from being torn. The puncture strength of the packaging material 30 is preferably 14N or more, preferably 15N or more, more preferably 16N or more, preferably 17N or more, and more preferably 18N or more. The method for measuring the piercing strength will be described in the examples described later.

In the present embodiment, since the packaging material 30 constituting the front film 14 and the back film 15 has rigidity, when the chuck portion 105 is moved as shown in FIG. It becomes easy to form. For example, the front film 14 and the back film 15 are each easily deformed so as to have a curved shape that is convex on the outer surface side. Thereby, it becomes easy to ensure the opening width K of the opening part 11b. Moreover, in this Embodiment, since the packaging material 30 which comprises the surface film 14 and the back film 15 has rigidity, it is hard to produce a wrinkle in the surface film 14 and the back film 15. For this reason, the adsorption | suction part 106 tends to adsorb | suck to the outer surface of the surface film 14 and the back film 15. This can also contribute to securing the opening width K of the opening 11b.

Opening method of bag will now be described opening method of bag 10. Here, a case where the consumer opens the bag 10 by tearing the bag 10 along the first direction D1 will be described. In the present embodiment, as described above, a straight cut film is used as the first stretched plastic film 40 or the second stretched plastic film 50 of the packaging material 30. For this reason, when a consumer tears and opens the bag 10, it can suppress that a tear direction deviates from the 1st direction D1. Therefore, the consumer can tear the bag 10 easily. In order to improve the tearability of the bag 10, it is preferable to use the above-described second type sealant film having a high tensile elastic modulus.

Note that various modifications can be made to the above-described embodiment. Hereinafter, modified examples will be described with reference to the drawings as necessary. In the following description and the drawings used in the following description, the same reference numerals as those used for the corresponding parts in the above embodiment are used for the parts that can be configured in the same manner as in the above embodiment. A duplicate description is omitted. In addition, when it is clear that the operational effects obtained in the above-described embodiment can be obtained in the modified example, the description thereof may be omitted.

(Bag variant)
FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating another example of the bag 10 including the packaging material 30. The bag 10 shown in FIG. 15 is different from the bag 10 shown in FIG. 1 only in that the bag 10 is further provided with a steam venting mechanism 20. In the bag 10 shown in FIG. 15, the same parts as those in the bag 10 shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 15, the bag 10 includes a steam release mechanism 20 for escaping steam generated when the contents stored in the storage portion 17 are heated. The steam release mechanism 20 allows the inside and the outside of the bag 10 to communicate with each other when the pressure of the steam reaches a predetermined value or more to escape the steam, and suppresses the steam from being released from a place other than the steam release mechanism 20. ,It is configured.

In addition, when the bag 10 provided with the vapor venting mechanism 20 is heated using a microwave oven or the like, the internal pressure of the bag 10 may not increase to the extent that the vapor is released from the vapor venting mechanism 20 to the outside. That is, depending on how the bag 10 is used, the steam release mechanism 20 may have a low probability of developing a function of escaping steam to the outside. Even in this case, by providing the vapor venting mechanism 20 in the bag 10, it is possible to further reduce the probability that the vapor will escape from a place other than the vapor venting mechanism 20 or the bag 10 may rupture.

In the example shown in FIG. 15, the steam release mechanism 20 includes a steam release seal part 20 a that protrudes from the side seal part 13 a toward the inside of the bag 10, and a non-seal that is isolated from the housing part 17 by the steam release seal part 20 a. Part 20b. The non-seal portion 20 b communicates with the outside of the bag 10. When the pressure in the accommodating portion 17 is increased by being heated by a microwave oven or the like, the steam release seal portion 20a is peeled off. The steam in the housing part 17 can escape to the outside of the bag 10 through the peeling part of the steam release seal part 20a and the non-seal part 20b. At this time, since the packaging material 30 has heat resistance, it is possible to suppress the formation of a hole in the packaging material 30 or the formation of wrinkles in the packaging material 30 during heating.

It should be noted that the configuration of the steam release mechanism 20 is not limited to the configuration shown in FIG. The configuration of the steam release mechanism 20 is arbitrary as long as the housing portion 17 and the outside of the bag 10 can be communicated with each other when the steam pressure exceeds a predetermined value.

For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the surface film 14 may include a palm portion 14a in which the inner surfaces of the surface film 14 are partially overlapped. The palm portion 14a can be configured, for example, by folding back with a folding portion 14f so as to form a pleat on one surface film 14. Further, the palm portion 14a may be configured by overlapping a part of the two surface films 14.

In the palm portion 14a, a palm seal portion 14b extending from one side seal portion 13a to the other side seal portion 13a is formed. In this case, the steam release mechanism 20 includes, for example, a steam release seal part 20a that protrudes from the palm seal part 14b toward the housing part 17, and a non-seal part 20b that is surrounded by the steam release seal part 20a and the joint seal part 14b. And a through hole 20c formed in the surface film 14 in the non-seal portion 20b.

Also in this modified example, when the pressure in the accommodating portion 17 increases, the steam release seal portion 20a is peeled off, and the accommodating portion 17 and the non-seal portion 20b communicate with each other. The steam that has flowed into the non-seal portion 20b from the housing portion 17 through the peeled portion of the steam release seal portion 20a passes through the through hole 20c and escapes to the outside of the bag 10.

In addition, the bag 10 shown in FIG. 16 is arrange | positioned in a microwave oven so that the back surface film 15 may contact the turntable or lower surface (flat table) of a microwave oven over a wide area. For this reason, compared with the self-supporting bag 10 as shown in FIG. Moreover, since the area of the part where the bag 10 is in contact with the microwave oven is large, even if the bag 10 is softened by heating, the position of the liquid level of the contents is unlikely to change. For this reason, in the heating process using a microwave oven, it is difficult for the contents to adhere to the inner surface of the front film 14 or the back film 15 above the liquid level of the contents. Thereby, it can suppress that the phenomenon that the content adhering to the inner surface of the surface film 14 or the back surface film 15 overheats excessively and a hole is formed in the surface film 14 or the back surface film 15 arises.

FIG. 17A and FIG. 17B are a longitudinal sectional view and a plan view showing a lidded container 110 which is an example of an application of the packaging material 30. The lidded container 110 includes a container main body 112 manufactured by sheet molding such as drawing or injection molding, and a lid member 114 joined to the container main body 112. The container main body 112 includes a bottom surface 112a and a side surface 112b, and a flange portion 113 that spreads outward in the horizontal direction from the upper end of the side surface 112b. The lid member 114 is joined to the upper surface of the flange portion 113 of the container main body 112 via a seal portion 116. The lid 114 may include the packaging material 30 described above having a high stiffness polyester film. By configuring the lid member 114 using the packaging material 30 described above, the lid member 114 can have excellent piercing strength. Thereby, when the sharp member with the pointed tip contacts the lid member 114, the lid member 114 can be prevented from being broken. Moreover, when the container 110 with a lid | cover falls, it can suppress that the container 110 with a lid | cover is damaged and the content leaks out.

The sealant layer 70 of the packaging material 30 constituting the lid material 114 may have an easy peel property. That is, the sealant layer 70 of the packaging material 30 constituting the lid member 114 includes a first layer 71 mainly composed of polyethylene or polypropylene, and a second layer 72 comprising a mixed resin of polyethylene and polypropylene and constituting the inner surface 30x. , May be included.

In the present application, products for packaging articles such as the bag 10 and the lidded container 110 are also referred to as packaging products.

(Other variations of bags)
In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the bag 10 is a gusset type bag has been shown, but the specific configuration of the bag 10 is not particularly limited. For example, the bag 10 may be a so-called four-side sealed bag formed by joining the inner surfaces of the front film 14 and the back film 15 made of the packaging material 30 at the upper part 11, the lower part 12 and the side part 13.

The inner side means the side of the contents contained in the packaged product in the packaged product formed from the packaging material. Moreover, an outer side means the side away from the content accommodated in packaged products.

FIG. 18 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the packaging material 210 according to the embodiment of the present invention. The packaging material 210 includes a barrier laminate film 205, a printed layer 218, a first adhesive layer 213, a stretched plastic film 214, a second adhesive layer 215, and a sealant layer 212 in order from the outside to the inside. The barrier laminate film 205 includes at least a base material 201 and a vapor deposition layer 202 provided on the inner surface of the base material 201. The barrier laminate film 205 may further include a gas barrier coating film 203 located on the vapor deposition layer 202. The base material 201 constitutes the outer surface 210 y of the packaging material 210, and the sealant layer 212 constitutes the inner surface 210 x of the packaging material 210.

In this embodiment, the outer surface is a surface located on the outermost side in the packaging material 210, and the inner surface is a surface located on the innermost side in the packaging material 210. Further, in the present embodiment, the term “order” in descriptions such as “prepared in this order” and “laminated in order” represents the order in the direction from the outside to the inside unless otherwise specified.

The stretched plastic film 214 constitutes the outer surface 210 y of the packaging material 210, and the sealant layer 212 constitutes the inner surface 210 x of the packaging material 210.

Hereinafter, the film and layers constituting the packaging material 210 will be described. First, the barrier laminate film 205 will be described.

[Base material]
The substrate 201 used for the barrier laminate film 205 is a polyester film containing polyester as a main component. The base material 201 contains, for example, 51% by mass or more of polyester. The polyester is at least one aromatic dicarboxylic acid selected from terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid and 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, and at least selected from ethylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol and 1,4-butanediol. A polyester mainly composed of an aromatic polyester composed of one kind of aliphatic alcohol is preferred. For example, the polyester includes polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter also referred to as PET), polybutylene terephthalate (hereinafter also referred to as PBT), and the like.

In order to prevent the bag from tearing when a sharp member with a sharp tip comes into contact with a packaging container made of a packaging material including the barrier laminate film 205, the base of the barrier laminate film 205 is used. It is preferable that the material 201 has resistance such as puncture resistance. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it is proposed to use either a high stiffness PET film or a PBT film as the base material 201. Thereby, for example, the puncture strength of the base material 201 can be increased. For example, the puncture strength of the base material 201 can be set to 9.5 N or more, more preferably 10 N or more. Further, the ratio of the tensile strength to the tensile elongation of the substrate 201 can be increased. For example, in at least one direction, the value obtained by dividing the tensile strength of the substrate by the tensile elongation is 2.0 [MPa /%] or more. Thereby, the rigidity for suppressing that a packaging container is torn can be given even when a sharp member with a sharp tip comes into contact with the packaging material including the barrier laminate film 205.

Hereinafter, the high stiffness PET film and the PBT film will be described in detail. First, the high stiffness PET film will be described.

The high stiffness PET film, like the above-described high stiffness polyester film, has a loop stiffness of 0.0017 N or more in the flow direction (MD) and the vertical direction (TD), and includes 51% by mass or more of PET. It is a plastic film. The thickness of the high stiffness PET film is preferably 5 μm or more, more preferably 7 μm or more. The thickness of the high stiffness PET film is preferably 25 μm or less, and more preferably 20 μm or less. The loop stiffness measurement method is the same as that in the first embodiment described above.

The preferred mechanical properties of the high stiffness PET film will be further described.
The puncture strength of the high stiffness PET film is preferably 9.5 N or more, more preferably 10.0 N or more.

The tensile strength and tensile elongation of the high stiffness PET film in the flow direction, the value obtained by dividing the tensile strength of the high stiffness PET film by the tensile elongation, the thermal shrinkage rate, and the tensile elastic modulus are the same as those in the first embodiment. Since it is the same as the case of the stiffness polyester film, the description is omitted.

In the production process of the high stiffness PET film, as in the case of the high stiffness polyester film, for example, first, a PET film obtained by melting and molding polyethylene terephthalate is subjected to 90 ° C. in the flow direction and the vertical direction, respectively. A first stretching step of stretching 3 to 4.5 times at ˜145 ° C. is performed. Subsequently, a second stretching step is performed in which the plastic film is stretched 1.1 to 3.0 times at 100 to 145 ° C. in the flow direction and the vertical direction, respectively. Thereafter, heat setting is performed at a temperature of 190 ° C. to 220 ° C. Subsequently, in the flow direction and the vertical direction, a relaxation treatment (treatment for reducing the film width) of about 0.2% to 2.5% is performed at a temperature of 100 ° C. to 190 ° C. In these steps, a high stiffness PET film having the above-mentioned mechanical properties can be obtained by adjusting the stretching ratio, stretching temperature, heat setting temperature, and relaxation treatment rate.

The PET constituting the high stiffness PET film may include biomass-derived PET, as in the case of the first embodiment described above. In this case, the high stiffness PET film may be composed of only biomass-derived PET. Alternatively, the high stiffness PET film may be composed of biomass-derived PET and fossil fuel-derived PET. The biomass-derived PET contained in the high stiffness PET film, the biomass degree of the high stiffness PET film, and the like are the same as in the case of the high stiffness polyester film of the first embodiment described above, and thus the description thereof is omitted.

Next, the PBT film will be described. The PBT film is a stretched plastic film containing 51% by mass or more of PBT. Hereinafter, advantages of the base material 201 containing PBT will be described.

PBT has excellent heat resistance. For this reason, it can suppress that the base material 201 deform | transforms or the intensity | strength of the base material 201 falls when performing a boil process and a retort process to the packaging bag which accommodates contents, such as foodstuffs. The retort process is a process of heating the packaging bag in a pressurized state using steam or heated hot water after filling the packaging bag with the contents and sealing the packaging bag. The temperature of retort processing is 120 degreeC or more, for example. The boil process is a process in which the packaged product is filled with the contents and the packaged product is sealed, and then the packaged product is boiled under atmospheric pressure. The temperature of boil processing is 90 degreeC or more and 100 degrees C or less, for example.

Also, PBT has high strength. For this reason, the packaging bag can be provided with puncture resistance as in the case where the packaging material 210 constituting the packaging bag contains nylon. The puncture strength of the PBT film is preferably 9.5 N or more, more preferably 10.0 N or more.

The tensile strength of the PBT film in the flow direction is preferably 150 MPa or more, more preferably 180 MPa or more. The tensile strength of the PBT film in the vertical direction is preferably 250 MPa or more, and more preferably 280 MPa or more.
The tensile elongation of the PBT film in the flow direction is preferably 220% or less, and more preferably 200% or less. The tensile elongation of the PBT film in the vertical direction is preferably 120% or less, and more preferably 110% or less.
Preferably, in at least one direction, a value obtained by dividing the tensile strength of the PBT film by the tensile elongation is 2.0 [MPa /%] or more. For example, the value obtained by dividing the tensile strength of the PBT film in the vertical direction (TD) by the tensile elongation is preferably 2.0 [MPa /%] or more, more preferably 2.2 [MPa /%] or more. Yes, more preferably 2.5 [MPa /%] or more.

Also, PBT has a characteristic that it is less likely to absorb moisture than nylon. For this reason, even if it is a case where the base material 201 containing PBT is arrange | positioned on the outer surface of the packaging material 210, it suppresses that the base material 201 absorbs a water | moisture content and the laminate strength of the packaging material 210 falls. it can.

Hereinafter, the configuration of the base material 201 including PBT will be described in detail. As the configuration of the base material 201 containing PBT in the present embodiment, any of the following first configuration or second configuration may be adopted.

[First Configuration of Substrate Containing PBT]
The content of PBT in the substrate 201 according to the first configuration is preferably 51% by mass or more, more preferably 60% by mass or more, further 70% by mass or more, particularly preferably 75% by mass or more, and most preferably. 80% by mass or more. By making the content of PBT 51% by mass or more, the base material 201 can have excellent impact strength and pinhole resistance.

PBT used as a main constituent component is preferably 90 mol% or more, more preferably 95 mol% or more, still more preferably 98 mol% or more, most preferably 100 mol% or more of terephthalic acid as a dicarboxylic acid component. Mol%. 1,4-butanediol as the glycol component is preferably 90 mol% or more, more preferably 95 mol% or more, still more preferably 97 mol% or more, and most preferably 1,4-butanediol during polymerization. It is not included except by-products generated by the ether bond of butanediol.

The base material 201 may contain a polyester resin other than PBT. Thereby, for example, the film formability when the film-like base material 201 is biaxially stretched and the mechanical properties of the base material 201 can be adjusted.
Polyester resins other than PBT include polyester resins such as PET, polyethylene naphthalate (PEN), polybutylene naphthalate (PBN), and polypropylene terephthalate (PPT), as well as isophthalic acid, orthophthalic acid, naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, and biphenyldicarboxylic acid. , PBT resin copolymerized with dicarboxylic acid such as cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, adipic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, ethylene glycol, 1,3-propylene glycol, 1,2-propylene glycol, neopentyl glycol, 1,5 -Diols such as pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, diethylene glycol, cyclohexanediol, polyethylene glycol, polytetramethylene glycol, polycarbonate diol Min can be mentioned copolymerized PBT resin.

The amount of the polyester resin other than PBT is preferably 49% by mass or less, and more preferably 40% by mass or less. If the addition amount of the polyester resin other than PBT exceeds 49% by mass, the mechanical properties as PBT may be impaired, and impact strength, pinhole resistance, and drawability may be insufficient.

The base material 201 may include a polyester-based and polyamide-based elastomer obtained by copolymerizing at least one of a flexible polyether component, a polycarbonate component, and a polyester component as an additive. Thereby, the pinhole resistance at the time of bending can be improved. The additive amount of the additive is, for example, 20% by mass. If the additive amount exceeds 20% by mass, the effect as an additive may be saturated, or the transparency of the substrate 201 may be reduced.

An example of a method for producing the film-like substrate 201 according to the first configuration will be described. Here, a method for producing the film-like substrate 201 by a casting method will be described. More specifically, a method of casting a resin having the same composition in multiple layers during casting will be described.

Since PBT has a high crystallization speed, crystallization proceeds even during casting. At this time, when cast as a single layer without being multi-layered, there is no barrier that can suppress the growth of the crystal, so the crystal grows to a large size, and the resulting unstretched original fabric is obtained. The yield stress of becomes higher. For this reason, it becomes easy to fracture when the unstretched original fabric is biaxially stretched. Moreover, it is possible that the yield stress of the obtained biaxially stretched film becomes high and the moldability of the biaxially stretched film becomes insufficient.
On the other hand, if the same resin is multilayered at the time of casting, the stretching stress of the unstretched sheet can be reduced. For this reason, stable biaxial stretching is possible, and the yield stress of the obtained biaxially stretched film is reduced. Thereby, a flexible and high breaking strength film can be obtained.

FIG. 20 is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the layer structure of the base material 201. In the case where the base material 201 is produced by casting the resin in multiple layers, as shown in FIG. 20, the base material 201 is composed of a multilayer structure including a plurality of layers 201a. Each of the plurality of layers 201a includes PBT as a main component. For example, each of the plurality of layers 201a preferably includes 51% by mass or more of PBT, and more preferably includes 60% by mass or more of PBT. In the plurality of layers 201a, the (n + 1) th layer 201a is directly stacked on the nth layer 201a. That is, no adhesive layer or adhesive layer is interposed between the plurality of layers 201a.

The reason why the properties of the PBT film are improved by multilayering is estimated as follows. When the resins are laminated, even if the resin composition is the same, a layer interface exists, and crystallization is accelerated by the interface. On the other hand, the growth of large crystals beyond the layer thickness is suppressed. For this reason, it is considered that the size of the crystal (spherulite) becomes small.

As a specific method for reducing the size of spherulites by multilayering, a general multilayering apparatus (multilayer feed block, static mixer, multilayer multimanifold, etc.) can be used. For example, a method of laminating thermoplastic resins sent from different flow paths using two or more extruders in multiple layers using a feed block, a static mixer, a multi-manifold die, or the like can be used. In addition, when multilayering resin of the same composition, it is also possible to introduce the above multilayering apparatus into the melt line from the extruder to the die using only one extruder.

The substrate 201 is composed of a multilayer structure including at least 10 layers, preferably 60 layers or more, more preferably 250 layers or more, and still more preferably 1000 layers or more. By increasing the number of layers, the size of spherulites in the unstretched raw PBT can be reduced, and the subsequent biaxial stretching can be carried out stably. Moreover, the yield stress of PBT in the state of a biaxially stretched film can be made small. Preferably, the diameter of the spherulite in the unstretched raw PBT is 500 nm or less.

The stretching temperature (hereinafter also referred to as MD stretching temperature) in the longitudinal stretching direction (hereinafter referred to as MD) when producing a biaxially stretched film by biaxially stretching the unstretched raw material of PBT is preferably 40 ° C. or higher. Yes, more preferably 45 ° C or higher. By setting the MD stretching temperature to 40 ° C. or higher, the film can be prevented from being broken. Moreover, MD extending | stretching temperature becomes like this. Preferably it is 100 degrees C or less, More preferably, it is 95 degrees C or less. The phenomenon that the orientation of the biaxially stretched film does not occur can be suppressed by setting the MD stretching temperature to 100 ° C. or lower.

The draw ratio in MD (hereinafter also referred to as MD draw ratio) is preferably 2.5 times or more. Thereby, a biaxially stretched film can be oriented and a favorable mechanical characteristic and uniform thickness can be implement | achieved. MD stretch ratio is 5 times or less, for example.

The stretching temperature (hereinafter also referred to as TD stretching temperature) in the transverse stretching direction (hereinafter also referred to as TD) is preferably 40 ° C. or higher. By setting the TD stretching temperature to 40 ° C. or higher, the film can be prevented from being broken. The TD stretching temperature is preferably 100 ° C. or lower. By setting the TD stretching temperature to 100 ° C. or lower, the phenomenon that the orientation of the biaxially stretched film does not occur can be suppressed.

The stretching ratio in TD (hereinafter also referred to as TD stretching ratio) is preferably 2.5 times or more. Thereby, a biaxially stretched film can be oriented and a favorable mechanical characteristic and uniform thickness can be implement | achieved. MD stretch ratio is 5 times or less, for example.

TD relaxation rate is preferably 0.5% or more. Thereby, it can suppress that a fracture | rupture arises at the time of heat setting of the biaxially stretched film of PBT. The TD relaxation rate is preferably 10% or less. Thereby, sagging etc. arise in a biaxially stretched film of PBT, and it can control that thickness unevenness generate | occur | produces.

The thickness of the layer 201a of the substrate 201 shown in FIG. 20 is preferably 3 nm or more, more preferably 10 nm or more. The thickness of the layer 201a is preferably 200 nm or less, more preferably 100 nm or less.
Moreover, the thickness of the base material 201 is preferably 9 μm or more, more preferably 12 μm or more. The thickness of the base material 201 is preferably 25 μm or less, more preferably 20 μm or less. By setting the thickness of the base material 201 to 9 μm or more, the base material 201 has sufficient strength. Moreover, the base material 201 comes to show the outstanding moldability by making the thickness of the base material 201 into 25 micrometers or less. For this reason, the process which processes the packaging material 210 containing the base material 201 and manufactures a packaging bag can be implemented efficiently.

[Second Configuration of Substrate Containing PBT]
The base material 201 according to the second configuration is made of a single layer film containing polyester having butylene terephthalate as a main repeating unit. For example, the base material 201 is mainly composed of 1,4-butanediol as a glycol component or an ester-forming derivative thereof and terephthalic acid as a dibasic acid component or an ester-forming derivative thereof, and condenses them. Homo- or copolymer-type polyester obtained. The content of PBT in the base material 201 according to the second configuration is preferably 51% by mass or more, more preferably 60% by mass or more, further preferably 70% by mass or more, further preferably 80% by mass or more, and most preferably. Is 90% by mass or more. Moreover, it is preferable that the base material 201 which concerns on a 2nd structure is comprised only with the polybutylene terephthalate and the additive.

In order to impart mechanical strength to the substrate 201, PBT having a melting point of 200 ° C. or more and 250 ° C. or less and an IV value (intrinsic viscosity) of 1.10 dl / g or more and 1.35 dl / g or less Is preferred. Furthermore, those having a melting point of 215 ° C. or more and 225 ° C. or less and an IV value of 1.15 dl / g or more and 1.30 dl / g or less are particularly preferable. These IV values may be satisfied by the entire material constituting the substrate 201. The IV value can be calculated based on JIS K 7367-5: 2000.

The substrate 201 according to the second configuration may include a polyester resin other than PBT such as PET in a range of 30% by mass or less. When the base material 201 contains PET in addition to PBT, PBT crystallization can be suppressed, and the stretchability of the PBT film can be improved. As PET mix | blended with PBT of the base material 201, the polyester which uses ethylene terephthalate as a main repeating unit can be used. For example, a homotype mainly composed of ethylene glycol as a glycol component and terephthalic acid as a dibasic acid component can be preferably used. In order to impart good mechanical strength characteristics, among PET, those having a melting point of 240 ° C. or more and 265 ° C. or less and an IV value of 0.55 dl / g or more and 0.90 dl / g or less are preferable. Furthermore, those having a melting point of 245 ° C. or more and 260 ° C. or less and an IV value of 0.60 dl / g or more and 0.80 dl / g or less are particularly preferable.
By setting the blending amount of PET to 30% by mass or less, it is possible to suppress the unstretched raw fabric and the stretched film from becoming too rigid. Thereby, a stretched film becomes brittle and it can suppress that the pressure resistance strength, impact strength, puncture strength, etc. of a stretched film fall. Moreover, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of stretching failure when the unstretched raw fabric is stretched.

The substrate 201 is made of a lubricant, an anti-blocking agent, an inorganic extender, an antioxidant, an ultraviolet absorber, an antistatic agent, a flame retardant, a plasticizer, a colorant, a crystallization inhibitor, and a crystallization accelerator as necessary. Etc. may be contained. Further, the polyester resin pellets used as the raw material of the base material 201 has a moisture content of 0.05% by weight or less, preferably 0.01% by weight or less before heating and melting in order to avoid a decrease in viscosity due to hydrolysis during heating and melting. It is preferable to use after sufficiently pre-drying so that

An example of a method for producing the film-like substrate 201 according to the second configuration will be described.

In order to stably produce the film of the base material 201 having the above-described configuration, it is important to suppress the crystal growth in the unstretched raw fabric state. Specifically, when forming the film by cooling the extruded PBT melt, the crystallization temperature region of the polymer is cooled at a certain rate or more, that is, the raw fabric cooling rate is an important factor. The raw fabric cooling rate is, for example, 200 ° C./second or more, preferably 250 ° C./second or more, particularly preferably 350 ° C./second or more. Since the unstretched original film formed at a high cooling rate maintains a low crystalline state, the stability of the bubbles during stretching is improved. Furthermore, since film formation at high speed is possible, film productivity is also improved. When the cooling rate is less than 200 ° C./sec, it is considered that the crystallinity of the obtained unstretched original fabric is increased and the stretchability is lowered. In extreme cases, the stretching bubble may burst and stretching may not continue.

It is preferable that the unstretched raw material containing PBT as a main component is conveyed to a space where biaxial stretching is performed while maintaining the atmospheric temperature at 25 ° C. or lower, preferably 20 ° C. or lower. Thereby, even if it is a case where residence time becomes long, the crystallinity of the unstretched original fabric immediately after film-forming can be maintained.

The biaxial stretching method for obtaining a stretched film by stretching an unstretched raw fabric is not particularly limited. For example, the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction may be simultaneously stretched by the tubular method or the tenter method, or the longitudinal direction and the lateral direction may be sequentially stretched. Among these, the tubular method can obtain a stretched film having a good balance of physical properties in the circumferential direction, and is particularly preferably employed.

In the tubular method, the unstretched raw material introduced into the stretching space is inserted between a pair of low-speed nip rolls, and then heated by a stretching heater while air is being pressed therein. After stretching, air is blown onto the stretched film by a cooling shoulder air ring. The stretching ratio is preferably 2.7 times or more and 4.5 times or less for MD and TD, respectively, in consideration of stretching stability, strength physical properties of the stretched film, transparency, and thickness uniformity. By setting the draw ratio to 2.7 times or more, it is possible to sufficiently ensure the tensile elastic modulus and impact strength of the stretched film. In addition, by setting the draw ratio to 4.5 times or less, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of excessive molecular chain distortion due to stretching, and to suppress the occurrence of breakage and puncture during the stretching process, so that the stretched film can be stabilized. Can be produced.

The stretching temperature is preferably 40 ° C. or higher and 80 ° C. or lower, and particularly preferably 45 ° C. or higher and 65 ° C. or lower. Since the unstretched original fabric produced at the above-described high cooling rate has low crystallinity, the unstretched original fabric can be stably stretched even when the stretching temperature is relatively low. Further, by setting the stretching temperature to 80 ° C. or less, it is possible to suppress stretching bubble shaking and obtain a stretched film with good thickness accuracy. In addition, by setting the stretching temperature to 40 ° C. or higher, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of excessive stretch-oriented crystallization due to low-temperature stretching, thereby preventing whitening of the film.

The base material 201 produced as described above is constituted by a single layer containing, for example, polyester having butylene terephthalate as a main repeating unit. According to the above-described production method, since the unstretched raw film is formed at a high cooling rate, even when the unstretched raw fabric is constituted by a single layer, a low crystalline state can be maintained, For this reason, an unstretched original fabric can be extended | stretched stably.

When the base material 201 contains PBT, the heat resistance of the barrier laminate film 205 and the heat resistance of the packaging material 210 including the barrier laminate film 205 can be increased. For example, the tensile elastic modulus of the barrier laminate film 205 and the packaging material 210 can be sufficiently increased. In particular, the tensile elastic modulus (hereinafter also referred to as hot tensile elastic modulus) of the barrier laminate film 205 and the packaging material 210 in a high-temperature atmosphere, for example, an atmosphere at 100 ° C. can be sufficiently increased.

Also in the present embodiment, when the packaging material 210 includes a high stiffness PET film or a PBT film, the puncture strength of the packaging material 210 can be increased as in the case of the first embodiment described above. The puncture strength of the packaging material 210 is, for example, 14N or more, 15N or more, 16N or more, 17N or more, or 18N or more. In addition, the strength of the packaging material 210 can be increased as in the case of the first embodiment described above. For example, the loop stiffness of the packaging material 210 can be increased. The loop stiffness of the packaging material 30 in at least one direction is, for example, 0.160 N or more, 0.165 N or more, 0.170 N or more, or 0.175 N or more. 0.180N or more. For example, the loop stiffness of the packaging material 30 in the flow direction (MD) is, for example, 0.160 N or more, 0.165 N or more, 0.170 N or more, or 0.175 N or more. It may be 0.180 N or more. The loop stiffness of the packaging material 30 in the vertical direction (TD) is, for example, 0.160 N or more, 0.165 N or more, 0.170 N or more, or 0.175 N or more. It may be 0.180 N or more. Also,

Become. Therefore, since it is excellent as a film having gas barrier properties and heat-resistant water treatment properties, it becomes a flexible cured film, and also has excellent bending resistance.

(Preferred configuration of barrier laminate film)
Next, a preferable configuration of the barrier laminate film 205 in the thickness direction when the vapor deposition layer 202 is a transparent vapor deposition layer containing aluminum oxide will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 22 shows time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF−) while soft etching is repeated at a constant rate on the surface of the barrier laminate film 205 on the gas barrier coating film 203 side with a Cs (cesium) ion gun. It is a figure which shows the result of having measured the ion derived from the vapor deposition layer 202 containing an aluminum oxide, and the ion derived from the base material 201 using SIMS. The vapor deposition layer 202 of the barrier laminate film 205 includes a transition region specified by the graph analysis diagram shown in FIG.

The transition region is the position of the peak of element-bonded Al ₂ O ₄ H that is converted into aluminum hydroxide and is detected by etching the barrier laminate film 205 from the gas barrier coating film 203 side using TOF-SIMS. This is a region between T ₂ and the interface T ₁ between the vapor deposition layer 202 and the substrate 201. Interface T ₁ of the the deposition layer 202 and the substrate 201, the intensity of the graph element C ₆ is identified as a position that is half the strength of the element C ₆ in the substrate 201. In FIG. 22, the symbol W2 represents the thickness of the transition region.

The ratio of the thickness W2 of the transition region to the thickness of the deposited layer 202 (hereinafter also referred to as the transition region modification rate) is preferably 5% or more and 60% or less. By making the transformation rate 5% or more and 60% or less, when the packaging material including the barrier laminate film 205 is subjected to sterilization treatment such as boil treatment or retort treatment, the barrier property of the barrier laminate film 205 against water vapor is It can suppress that it falls. A retort process is a process which heats a packaging bag in a pressurized state, after filling the packaging bag comprised with the packaging material provided with the barrier property laminated | multilayer film 205 and sealing a packaging bag. The temperature of retort processing is 120 degreeC or more, for example. The boil process is a process of filling the packaging bag with the contents and sealing the packaging bag, and then bathing the packaging bag under atmospheric pressure. The temperature of boil processing is 90 degreeC or more and 100 degrees C or less, for example. Note that the packaging material including the barrier laminated film 205 having a transition region transformation rate of 5% or more and 60% or less is used in packaging bags that are not subjected to sterilization treatment such as boil treatment or retort treatment. However, it can function effectively in maintaining the barrier property against gases such as oxygen and water vapor.

The interface between the base material 201 and the vapor deposition layer 202 is subjected to mechanical and chemical stress by heat. Therefore, in order to suppress deterioration in adhesion and barrier properties, it is important to firmly cover the base material 201 with the vapor deposition layer 202 at the interface between the base material 201 and the vapor deposition layer 202.

Aluminum hydroxide has good adhesion to plastic films such as polyester film due to its chemical structure, and has high water vapor barrier properties because it itself forms a network and is dense. However, the bonding structure based on hydrogen bonding between aluminum hydroxide and the plastic film is easily broken microscopically against heat stress. Also, it easily penetrates into the membrane due to the affinity of the water molecule and aluminum hydroxide grain interface to the aluminum hydroxide network.

In the present embodiment, in order to make the transition region at the interface with the base material 201 formed by aluminum hydroxide in the vapor deposition layer 202 containing aluminum oxide as much as possible, attention is paid to element-bonded Al ₂ O ₄ H and its presence. Control the amount. This suppresses aluminum hydroxide generated from elementally bonded Al ₂ O ₄ H due to thermal stress, and increases the proportion of the aluminum oxide layer that is relatively low in aluminum hydroxide, thereby making it microscopic due to water molecules caused by thermal stress. It is intended to suppress the destruction of the vapor deposition layer 202 and the interface destruction with the plastic film. As a result, a barrier laminate film 205 having unprecedented adhesion and barrier properties can be provided.

The vapor deposition layer 202 containing aluminum oxide can be formed by forming the vapor deposition layer 202 on the surface of the base material 201 that has been pretreated with oxygen plasma. As a vapor deposition method for forming the vapor deposition layer 202, various vapor deposition methods can be applied among physical vapor deposition and chemical vapor deposition. The physical vapor deposition method can be selected from the group consisting of vapor deposition method, sputtering method, ion plating method, ion beam assist method, and cluster ion beam method. Chemical vapor deposition methods include plasma CVD method, plasma polymerization method, thermal method. It can be selected from the group consisting of CVD method and catalytic reaction type CVD method. In this embodiment, a physical vapor deposition method is preferable.

A specific example of a method for obtaining the graph of FIG. 22 will be described. First, using Cs, etching is performed from the outermost surface of the gas barrier coating film 203, and the element bonding of the interface between the gas barrier coating film 203, the vapor deposition layer 202, and the film such as the substrate 201 and the element bonding of the vapor deposition layer 202 are performed. Perform analysis. Thereby, the graph shown in FIG. 22 can be obtained.

Next, a specific example of a method for analyzing the graph in FIG. 22 will be described. Here, a case where the gas barrier coating film 203 contains silicon oxide will be described.

First, in the graph, the position at which the strength of SiO ₂ (mass number 59.96), which is a constituent element of the gas barrier coating film 203, becomes half the strength of the gas barrier coating film 203 is indicated by the gas barrier coating film 203 and the vapor deposition layer. 202 is specified as the interface. Next, a position where the strength of C ₆ (mass number 72.00), which is a constituent material of the base material 201, becomes half of the strength of the base material 201 is specified as an interface between the base material 201 and the vapor deposition layer 202. Further, the distance in the thickness direction between the two interfaces is adopted as the thickness of the vapor deposition layer 202.

Next, a peak of the measured element-bonded Al ₂ O ₄ H (mass number 118.93) is obtained, and the transition from the peak to the interface is taken as the transition region. However, when the component of the gas barrier coating film 203 is made of a material having the same mass number as Al ₂ O ₄ H (mass number 118.93), it is necessary to separate the waveform of 118.93.

When reactants AlSiO ₄ and hydroxide Al ₂ O ₄ H are generated at the interface between the gas barrier coating film 203 and the vapor deposition layer 202, Al and the Al present at the interface between the substrate 201 and the vapor deposition layer 202 are present. ₂ O ₄ H can be separated. As described above, the waveform separation can be appropriately handled according to the material of the gas barrier coating film 203.

In waveform separation, for example, a profile with a mass number of 118.93 obtained by TOF-SIMS is subjected to nonlinear curve fitting using a Gaussian function, and overlapping peaks are separated using a least square method Levenberg Marquardt algorithm. It can be carried out.

The above analysis assumes that the barrier laminate film 205 includes the base material 201, the vapor deposition layer 202, and the gas barrier coating film 203. However, the same analysis shows that the barrier laminate film 205 includes the base material 201. In addition, the present invention can also be applied to the case where the vapor barrier layer 202 is included but the gas barrier coating film 203 is not included. Even when the barrier laminate film 205 does not include the gas barrier coating film 203, the packaging material including the barrier laminate film 205 can be boiled by setting the transformation rate of the transition region of the vapor deposition layer 202 within a predetermined range. When the sterilization process such as the process or the retort process is performed, it is possible to prevent the barrier property of the barrier laminate film 205 from being deteriorated against water vapor. When the barrier laminate film 205 includes a base material 201 and a vapor deposition layer 202 and etching is performed from the vapor deposition layer 202 side using time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS), the transition region of the vapor deposition layer 202 is changed. The modification rate is preferably 45% or less.

Next, mechanical properties of the barrier laminate film 205 will be described. The mechanical properties of the barrier laminate film 205 are mainly determined by the mechanical properties of the substrate 201. Therefore, the mechanical properties such as the loop stiffness, puncture strength, tensile strength, tensile elongation, tensile strength divided by tensile elongation, thermal shrinkage rate, and tensile elastic modulus of the barrier laminate film 205 are the same as those of the substrate 201. This is equivalent to the mechanical properties of the high-stiffness PET film and PBT film to be constructed. Therefore, if the measurement results of the mechanical properties of the barrier laminate film 205 are within the above-described preferable range, the measurement results of the mechanical properties of the base material 201 formed of a high stiffness PET film or a PBT film are also described above. Is considered to be within the preferable range.

[Sealant layer]
Next, the sealant layer 212 will be described. The sealant layer 212 is a layer containing a thermoplastic resin that constitutes the inner surface 210 x of the packaging material 210. In the example shown in FIG. 18, the sealant layer 212 is formed by bonding a thermoplastic resin film to the stretched plastic film 214 via the second adhesive layer 215. In the example shown in FIG. 19, the sealant layer 212 is formed by bonding a thermoplastic resin film to the base material 201 of the barrier laminate film 205 via the second adhesive layer 215. Although not shown, the sealant layer 212 may be formed by extruding a thermoplastic resin onto the stretched plastic film 214 or the barrier laminate film 205.

As a material constituting the sealant layer 212, one or more resins selected from polyethylene such as low density polyethylene and linear low density polyethylene, and polypropylene can be used. The sealant layer 212 may be a single layer or a multilayer. The sealant layer 212 is preferably made of an unstretched film. “Unstretched” is a concept that includes not only a film that is not stretched at all, but also a film that is slightly stretched due to the tension applied during film formation.

Incidentally, a packaged product composed of the packaging material 210 including the sealant layer 212 may be subjected to sterilization treatment such as boil treatment and retort treatment at a high temperature. Accordingly, the sealant layer 212 has a heat resistance that can withstand the processing at these high temperatures.

The melting point of the material constituting the sealant layer 212 is preferably 150 ° C. or higher, and more preferably 160 ° C. or higher. By increasing the melting point of the sealant layer 212, it becomes possible to perform the retorting process of the packaged product at a high temperature, and therefore the time required for the retorting process can be shortened. Note that the melting point of the material constituting the sealant layer 212 is lower than the melting point of the resin constituting the substrate 201.

When considering from the viewpoint of the retort treatment, a material mainly composed of propylene can be used as a material constituting the sealant layer 212 as in the case of the sealant layer 70 in the first embodiment. Further, when considering from the viewpoint of boil processing, examples of the material constituting the sealant layer 212 include polyethylene, polypropylene, or a combination thereof as in the case of the sealant layer 70 in the first embodiment described above. Can do.

Preferably, the sealant layer 212 includes a propylene / ethylene block copolymer as in the case of the sealant layer 70 in the first embodiment described above. For example, the sealant film constituting the sealant layer 212 is an unstretched film containing a propylene / ethylene block copolymer as a main component. By using the propylene / ethylene block copolymer, the impact resistance of the sealant layer can be increased, and thereby, the package product can be prevented from being broken by the impact at the time of dropping. Moreover, the puncture resistance of the packaging material 210 can be improved.

Further, the sealant layer 212 may further include a thermoplastic elastomer as in the case of the sealant layer 70 in the first embodiment described above. By using a thermoplastic elastomer, the impact resistance and puncture resistance of the sealant layer can be further enhanced.

The content of the propylene / ethylene block copolymer in the sealant layer 212 is, for example, 80% by mass or more, and preferably 90% by mass or more.

The sealant layer 212 may have an easy peel property. The easy peel property means that, for example, when a packaging material 210 having a sealant layer 212 is used to form a lid for a container, the lid is easily peeled from the flange portion of the container at the lower surface thereof, that is, the sealant layer 212. It is a characteristic. The easy peel property can be expressed, for example, by configuring the sealant layer 212 with two or more types of resins and making one resin and another resin incompatible. Examples of the resin capable of exhibiting easy peel properties include a mixed resin of polyethylene and polypropylene such as high-density polyethylene.

When the sealant layer 212 has an easy peel property, as shown in FIG. 21, the sealant layer 212 includes a first layer 2121 that constitutes the inner surface 210 x of the packaging material 210, and the barrier layered film 205 side of the first layer 2121. The 2nd layer 2122 located in (outside) may be included. In this case, the first layer 2121 may be a layer containing mixed polypropylene and high density polyethylene. The second layer 2122 may be a layer made of polypropylene or high-density polyethylene. Such a sealant layer 212 can be formed by bonding a coextruded film including the first layer 2121 and the second layer 2122 to the barrier laminate film 205. When the second layer 2122 is made of polypropylene, the sealant layer 212 including the first layer 2121 and the second layer 2122 has heat resistance that can withstand heat treatment up to 135 ° C., for example. When the second layer 2122 is made of high-density polyethylene, the sealant layer 212 including the first layer 2121 and the second layer 2122 has heat resistance that can withstand heat treatment up to 123 ° C., for example.

The sealant layer 212 may contain a biomass-derived component or may not contain a biomass-derived component. When the sealant layer 212 is formed of a material containing a biomass-derived component, the sealant layer 212 can be formed using the following biomass polyolefin. Moreover, when forming the sealant layer 212 with the material which does not contain a biomass origin component, the sealant layer 212 can be formed using the conventionally well-known thermoplastic resin derived from a fossil fuel. In addition, the sealant layer 70 of the above-mentioned first embodiment may also contain a biomass-derived component, and may not contain a biomass-derived component, like the sealant layer 212 of the present embodiment.

Biomass polyolefin is a polymer of a monomer containing an olefin such as ethylene derived from biomass. Since a biomass-derived olefin is used as a monomer as a raw material, the polymerized polyolefin is derived from biomass. In addition, the raw material monomer of polyolefin does not need to contain 100 mass% of olefin derived from biomass.

For example, biomass-derived ethylene can be produced using biomass-derived ethanol as a raw material. In particular, it is preferable to use biomass-derived fermented ethanol obtained from plant raw materials. A plant raw material is not specifically limited, A conventionally well-known plant can be used. For example, corn, sugar cane, beet, and manioc can be mentioned.

Biomass-derived fermented ethanol refers to ethanol that has been purified after contacting a microorganism-producing product or a product derived from its crushed material with a culture solution containing a carbon source obtained from plant raw materials. For the purification of ethanol from the culture solution, conventionally known methods such as distillation, membrane separation, and extraction can be applied. For example, a method of adding benzene, cyclohexane or the like and azeotropically or removing water by membrane separation or the like can be mentioned.

The monomer that is a raw material of biomass polyolefin may further contain an ethylene monomer derived from fossil fuel and / or an α-olefin monomer derived from fossil fuel, or may further include an α-olefin monomer derived from biomass.

The above α-olefin is not particularly limited in carbon number, but usually those having 3 to 20 carbon atoms can be used, and is preferably butylene, hexene or octene. This is because if it is butylene, hexene or octene, it can be produced by polymerization of ethylene which is a biomass-derived raw material. In addition, by including such an α-olefin, the polymerized polyolefin has an alkyl group as a branched structure, so that it can be more flexible than a simple linear one.

As the biomass polyolefin, polyethylene or a copolymer of ethylene and α-olefin may be used alone, or two or more kinds may be mixed and used. In particular, the biomass polyolefin is preferably polyethylene. This is because, by using ethylene, which is a biomass-derived raw material, it is theoretically possible to manufacture with 100% biomass-derived components.

If the density of the biomass polyolefin is 0.91 g / cm ³ or more, the rigidity of the polyolefin resin layer containing the biomass polyolefin can be increased, and it can be suitably used as the inner layer of the packaged product. Moreover, if the density of biomass polyolefin is 0.93 g / cm < ³ > or less, the transparency and mechanical strength of the polyolefin resin layer containing biomass polyolefin can be improved, and it can be used suitably as an inner layer of a packaged product.

The melt flow rate is a value measured by the method A under the conditions of a temperature of 190 ° C. and a load of 21.18 N in the method specified in JIS K7210-1995. If the MFR of the biomass polyolefin is 0.1 g / 10 min or more, the extrusion load during the molding process can be reduced. Moreover, if MFR of biomass polyolefin is 10 g / 10min or less, the mechanical strength of the polyolefin resin layer containing biomass polyolefin can be raised.

The stretching direction of the stretched plastic film 214 is not particularly limited. For example, the stretched plastic film 214 may be stretched in the film flow direction (MD) or may be stretched in the transverse direction (TD) orthogonal to the flow method.

As the material of the stretched plastic film 214, various plastics such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, polyvinyl chloride, polystyrene, and polyester can be used. For example, the stretched plastic film 214 is a polyester film or a polyamide film. Further, the stretched plastic film 214 may be a high stiffness PET film or a PBT film, like the base material 201 of the barrier laminate film 205.

The stretched plastic film 214 may contain a biomass-derived component. For example, the stretched plastic film 214 may contain a resin composition containing biomass-derived polyester (hereinafter also referred to as biomass polyester). When the stretched plastic film 214 includes a biomass-derived component, the degree of biomass in the stretched plastic film 214 is preferably 5.0% or more, more preferably 10.0% or more, and 15.0% or more. It may be. The degree of biomass of the stretched plastic film 214 is preferably 30.0% or less, and may be 25.0% or less.

Biomass polyester is a polyester in which the diol unit is biomass-derived ethylene glycol and the dicarboxylic acid unit is a dicarboxylic acid derived from fossil fuel. Biomass-derived ethylene glycol has the same chemical structure as conventional fossil fuel-derived ethylene glycol. Therefore, polyester films synthesized using biomass-derived ethylene glycol are mechanically similar to conventional fossil fuel-derived polyester films. There is no inferiority in physical properties such as characteristics. Accordingly, the stretched plastic film 214 and the packaging material 210 including the stretched plastic film 214 have a layer made of a carbon neutral material, and therefore, compared with a stretched plastic film manufactured from a raw material obtained from a conventional fossil fuel and a packaging material including the stretched plastic film. The amount of fossil fuel used can be reduced and the environmental load can be reduced.

Further, the stretched plastic film 214 may be a recycled film containing polyethylene terephthalate recycled by mechanical recycling. The recycled film includes PET obtained by recycling a PET bottle by mechanical recycling. The PET includes diol units of ethylene glycol and dicarboxylic acid units of terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid. Here, mechanical recycling generally means that collected polyethylene terephthalate resin products such as PET bottles are crushed and washed with alkali to remove dirt and foreign matter on the surface of PET resin products, and then dried for a certain period of time under high temperature and reduced pressure. In this method, contaminants remaining inside the PET resin are diffused and decontaminated to remove stains on the resin product made of the PET resin, and then returned to the PET resin again.

When the stretched plastic film 214 includes a stretched polyester film such as a stretched polyethylene terephthalate film or a stretched polybutylene terephthalate film, the thickness of the stretched plastic film 214 is, for example, 9 μm or more and 25 μm or less.

<Method for manufacturing packaging material>
Next, an example of a method for manufacturing the packaging material 210 will be described. First, an example of a method for producing the barrier laminate film 205 will be described.

(Manufacturing process of barrier laminated film)
First, the base material 201 is prepared. Subsequently, a vapor deposition layer 202 containing aluminum oxide is formed on the surface of the substrate 201. FIG. 23 is a diagram illustrating an example of the film forming apparatus 260. Hereinafter, a film forming apparatus 260 and a film forming method using the film forming apparatus 260 will be described.

As shown in FIG. 23, in the film forming apparatus 260, partition walls 285a to 285c are formed in the decompression chamber 262. The partition walls 285a to 285c form a base material transfer chamber 262A, a plasma pretreatment chamber 262B, and a film formation chamber 262C, and in particular, a plasma pretreatment chamber 262B and a film formation chamber as spaces surrounded by the partition walls and the partition walls 285a to 285c. 262C is formed, and an exhaust chamber is further formed inside each chamber as necessary.

The plasma pretreatment process in the plasma pretreatment chamber 262B and the plasma pretreatment chamber 262B will be described. In the plasma pretreatment chamber 262B, a part of the plasma pretreatment roller 270 that conveys the substrate 201 to be pretreated and enables the plasma treatment is provided so as to be exposed to the substrate conveyance chamber 262A. Yes. The substrate 201 moves to the plasma pretreatment chamber 262B while being wound up.

The plasma pretreatment chamber 262B and the film formation chamber 262C are provided in contact with the base material transfer chamber 262A, and can move without the base material 201 being exposed to the atmosphere. Further, the pretreatment chamber 262B and the base material transfer chamber 262A are connected by a rectangular hole, and a part of the plasma pretreatment roller 270 protrudes to the base material transfer chamber 262A side through the rectangular hole. A gap is opened between the wall of the transfer chamber and the pretreatment roller 270, and the substrate 201 can move from the substrate transfer chamber 262A to the film forming chamber 262C through the gap. The structure between the base material transfer chamber 262A and the film formation chamber 262C is similar, and the base material 201 can be moved without being exposed to the atmosphere.

The base material transport chamber 262A is moved again to the base material transport chamber 212A by the film forming roller 275, and the base material 201 with the vapor deposition layer 202 formed on one side is wound up in a roll shape. A take-up roller is provided so that the substrate 201 on which the vapor deposition layer 202 is formed can be taken up.

When manufacturing the barrier laminate film 205 having the vapor deposition layer 202 containing aluminum oxide, the plasma pretreatment chamber 262B separates the space where the plasma is generated from other regions so that the facing space can be efficiently evacuated. By being configured, control of the plasma gas concentration becomes easy and productivity is improved. The pre-treatment pressure formed by reducing the pressure can be set and maintained at about 0.1 Pa to 100 Pa. In particular, the oxygen plasma pre-treatment is performed in order to obtain a preferable transformation rate of the transition region of the vapor deposition layer 202 containing aluminum oxide. The processing pressure is preferably 1 to 20 Pa.

The conveying speed of the substrate 201 is not particularly limited, but can be at least 200 to 1000 m / min from the viewpoint of production efficiency, and in particular, oxygen in order to obtain a transformation rate in the transition region of the vapor deposition layer 202 containing aluminum oxide. The conveyance speed of the plasma pretreatment is preferably 300 to 800 m / min.

The plasma pretreatment roller 270 constituting the plasma pretreatment apparatus prevents the base material 201 from being contracted or damaged by heat during the plasma processing by the plasma pretreatment means, and the oxygen plasma P is uniformly and widely distributed over the base material 201. It is intended to be applied to. It is preferable that the pretreatment roller 270 can be adjusted to a constant temperature between −20 ° C. and 100 ° C. by adjusting the temperature of the temperature adjustment medium circulating in the pretreatment roller.

The plasma pretreatment means includes a plasma supply means and a magnetic formation means. The plasma pretreatment means cooperates with the plasma pretreatment roller 270 to confine the oxygen plasma P in the vicinity of the surface of the substrate 201.

The plasma pretreatment means is provided so as to cover a part of the pretreatment roller 270. Specifically, the plasma supply means 272 and the magnetic formation means 273 that constitute the plasma pretreatment means are disposed along the surface in the vicinity of the outer periphery of the pretreatment roller 270. The plasma supply means 272 includes a plasma supply nozzle that supplies a plasma source gas. The magnetic forming means 273 has a magnet or the like for promoting the generation of the plasma P. Further, the plasma pretreatment means includes an electrode 271 to which a voltage is applied between the plasma pretreatment means 270 and the pretreatment roller 270. FIG. 23 shows an example in which the electrode 271 and the plasma supply means 272 are separate members, but the present invention is not limited to this. Although not shown, the electrode 271 and the plasma supply means 272 may be constituted by an integral member.

Plasma P is generated in a space sandwiched between the pretreatment roller 270 and the magnetic forming means 273, and a region having a high plasma density is formed in the vicinity of the surface of the pretreatment roller 270 and the substrate 201. The plasma-treated surface can be formed by performing oxygen plasma pretreatment on the inner surface.

The plasma supply means 272 of the plasma pretreatment means includes a source gas volatilization supply device 268 connected to a plasma supply nozzle provided outside the decompression chamber 262 and a source gas supply line for supplying source gas from the device. The plasma source gas to be supplied is supplied while oxygen alone or a mixed gas of oxygen gas and inert gas is measured from the gas reservoir through a flow rate controller while measuring the gas flow rate. As an inert gas, 1 type, or 2 or more types of mixed gas chosen from the group which consists of argon, helium, and nitrogen is mentioned.

These supplied gases are mixed at a predetermined ratio as necessary, formed into a plasma raw material gas alone or a plasma forming mixed gas, and supplied to the plasma supply means. The single or mixed gas is supplied to the plasma supply nozzle of the plasma supply means, and is supplied to the vicinity of the outer periphery of the pretreatment roller 270 where the supply port of the plasma supply nozzle opens. The nozzle opening is directed to the base material 201 on the pretreatment roller 270, and is arranged and configured so that the oxygen plasma P can be uniformly diffused and supplied to the entire surface of the base material 201. Thereby, a uniform plasma pretreatment can be performed on a large area portion of the substrate 201.

As described above, the transition rate of the transition region of the vapor deposition layer 202 containing aluminum oxide is set to 5% or more and 60% or less. The active gas) is preferably 6/1 to 1/1, more preferably 5/2 to 3/2. By setting the mixing ratio to 6/1 to 1/1, the film formation energy of the vapor deposition layer 202 on the substrate 201 is increased, and by setting the mixing ratio to 5/2 to 3/2, the formation of aluminum hydroxide is increased. Is formed in the vicinity of the interface of the base material, that is, the rate of transformation of the transition region is lowered.

The electrode 271 functions as a counter electrode of the pretreatment roller 270. The plasma source gas supplied by the potential difference due to the high frequency voltage, the low frequency voltage, etc. supplied to the pretreatment roller 270 is excited, and plasma P is generated and supplied.

Specifically, the electrode 271 is provided with a plasma pretreatment roller as a plasma power source, an AC voltage having a frequency of 10 Hz to 2.5 GHz is applied between the electrode 271 and the counter electrode, and input power control or impedance control is performed. In addition, an arbitrary voltage can be applied between the plasma pretreatment roller 270 and the plasma pretreatment roller 270. The film forming apparatus 260 includes a power source 282 capable of applying a bias voltage that makes the oxygen plasma P capable of physically or chemically modifying the surface properties of the substrate 201 positive.

The plasma intensity per unit area is preferably 50 to 8000 W · sec / m ² . At 50 W · sec / m ² or less, the effect of the plasma pretreatment is not observed, and at 8000 W · sec / m ² or more, deterioration of the base material 201 due to plasma occurs, such as consumption of the base material 201, damage coloring, and firing. There is a tendency. In particular, the plasma intensity per unit area is preferably 100 to 1000 W · sec / m ² . By providing the plasma intensity with a bias voltage perpendicular to the base material 201, adhesion to the vapor deposition layer 202 containing aluminum oxide can be improved stably.

As the magnetic forming means 273, an insulating spacer and a base plate provided in a magnet case and a magnet provided on the base plate can be used. An insulating shield plate is provided on the magnet case, and an electrode can be attached to the insulating shield plate. The magnet case and the electrode are electrically insulated, and even if the magnet case is installed and fixed in the decompression chamber 262, the electrode can be brought to an electrically floating level. By providing the magnet, the reactivity in the vicinity of the surface of the substrate 201 is increased, and a good plasma pretreatment surface can be formed at a high speed.

Preferably, the magnet is configured such that the magnetic flux density at the surface position of the substrate 201 is from 10 gauss to 10,000 gauss. If the magnetic flux density on the surface of the substrate 201 is 10 gauss or more, the reactivity in the vicinity of the surface of the substrate 201 can be sufficiently increased, and a good pretreatment surface can be formed at high speed.

Next, a film formation process in the film formation chamber 262C and the film formation chamber 262C will be described. The film forming apparatus 260 includes a film forming roller 275 disposed in the decompressed film forming chamber 262 </ b> C, and a target of the vapor deposition film forming unit 274 disposed to face the film forming roller 275. The film forming roller 275 conveys the base material 201 while winding the base material 201 with the processing surface of the base material 201 preprocessed by the plasma pretreatment apparatus facing outside. In the film forming step, the target of the vapor deposition film forming means 274 is evaporated to form an aluminum oxide film on the surface of the substrate 201.

The vapor deposition film forming means 274 is, for example, a resistance heating method, and uses aluminum metal wire with aluminum as an evaporation source, and supplies aluminum to oxidize aluminum vapor while containing aluminum oxide on the surface of the substrate 201. The vapor deposition layer 202 is formed.

The thickness of the vapor deposition layer 202 containing aluminum oxide formed as described above is preferably 3 to 50 nm, more preferably 9 to 30 nm. Within this range, the barrier property can be maintained. However, when the vapor deposition layer 202 containing aluminum oxide is very thin, it is difficult to calculate the transition region transformation rate by TOF-SIMS measurement.

Next, a method for forming the gas barrier coating film 203 on the vapor deposition layer 202 will be described. First, an organic solvent such as the above metal alkoxide, silane coupling agent, hydroxyl group-containing water-soluble resin, reaction accelerator (sol-gel method catalyst, acid, etc.), water as a solvent, alcohol such as methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, isopropanol, etc. By mixing, a coating agent for a gas barrier coating film made of a resin composition is prepared.

When the gas barrier coating film 203 contains a silane coupling agent, a coating agent for the gas barrier coating film may be prepared as follows. First, a metal alkoxide such as alkoxysilane and a silane coupling agent are mixed. The metal alkoxide and the silane coupling agent are preferably mixed at 10 ° C. or lower. Thereby, the film structure in the gas barrier coating film 203 to be formed is likely to be dense. Subsequently, a mixture of a metal alkoxide and a silane coupling agent and a hydroxyl group-containing water-soluble resin such as a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin are mixed.

After preparing the coating agent for the gas barrier coating film, the coating agent for the gas barrier coating film is applied onto the vapor deposition layer 202 by a conventional method and dried. By this drying step, the condensation or co-condensation reaction further proceeds to form a coating film. On the first coating film, the above coating operation may be further repeated to form a plurality of coating films composed of two or more layers.

Furthermore, heat treatment is performed for 3 seconds to 10 minutes at a temperature in the range of 20 to 200 ° C., preferably 50 to 180 ° C., and a temperature below the softening point of the resin constituting the substrate 201. As a result, the gas barrier coating film 203 made of the gas barrier coating film coating agent can be formed on the vapor deposition layer 202. In this way, the barrier laminate film 205 having the substrate 201, the vapor deposition layer 202, and the gas barrier coating film 203 can be produced.

(Lamination process)
Next, a method for manufacturing the above-described packaging material 210 by laminating the barrier laminate film 205 and other films will be described.

An example of a method for manufacturing the packaging material 210 shown in FIG. 18 will be described. First, a barrier laminate film 205 is prepared, and a printing layer 218 is formed on the gas barrier coating film 203 of the barrier laminate film 205 by, for example, a gravure printing method. In addition, a stretched plastic film 214 is prepared. Thereafter, the film including the barrier laminate film 205 provided with the printing layer 218 and the stretched plastic film 214 are bonded via the first adhesive layer 213 formed of an adhesive layer by a dry laminating method. In addition, a film constituting the sealant layer 212 is prepared. Thereafter, the laminate including the barrier laminate film 205 and the stretched plastic film 214 and the film constituting the sealant layer 212 are bonded via a second adhesive layer 215 made of an adhesive layer by a dry lamination method. Thus, the packaging material 210 shown in FIG. 18 can be obtained.

In addition, a gusseted bag can be manufactured by performing heat sealing with the folded back packaging material 210 between the front packaging material 210 and the back packaging material 210. Note that all of the packaging material 210 constituting the bag may not be the packaging material 210 according to the present invention. That is, at least a part of the packaging material 210 constituting the bag may be the packaging material 210 including the barrier laminate film 205 having the base 201 including the high stiffness PET film or the PBT film, and the packaging material 210 constituting the bag. The other part may be the packaging material 210 that does not include the barrier laminate film 205.

As a heat sealing method, for example, a known method such as a bar seal, a rotary roll seal, a belt seal, an impulse seal, a high frequency seal, or an ultrasonic seal can be used.

Thereby, it becomes easy to ensure the opening width K of the opening part 11b. Also in this embodiment, since the packaging material 210 has rigidity, the front film 14 and the back film 15 are unlikely to be wrinkled. For this reason, the adsorption | suction part 106 tends to adsorb | suck to the outer surface of the surface film 14 and the back film 15. This can also contribute to securing the opening width K of the opening 11b.

Therefore, the product of the tensile modulus (MPa) and the thickness (μm) of ZK500 in the flow direction is 32000 when the thickness is 50 μm and 33000 when the thickness is 60 μm. The product of the tensile modulus (MPa) and thickness (μm) of ZK500 in the vertical direction is 24000 when the thickness is 50 μm and 35000 when the thickness is 60 μm.

As a result, the piercing strength was 16.8N, the loop stiffness in the flow direction was 0.132N, and the loop stiffness in the vertical direction was 0.110N. In this case, the value obtained by dividing the loop stiffness in the flow direction of the packaging material 30 by the thickness of the packaging material 30 is 0.00138 N / μm, and the value obtained by dividing the loop stiffness in the vertical direction by the thickness of the packaging material 30 is 0.00115 N. / Μm.

In addition, FIG. 27 summarizes the layer configurations of the packaging materials 30 of Examples A1 to A6 and Comparative Example A1, and the evaluation results regarding tearability, heat resistance, and openability. In addition, FIG. 28 shows the layer configuration of the packaging materials 30 of Examples A7 to A9, and the evaluation results regarding the piercing strength and the loop stiffness. 26 to 28, the components of the packaging material 30 are listed from the top in the order of the outer layer side in the “layer configuration” column. Further, in the “heat resistance” column, when holes and wrinkles were not formed in the packaging material 30, “great” was written, and wrinkles were formed in the packaging material 30, but no holes were formed. In this case, “good” was written, and when holes and wrinkles were formed in the packaging material 30, “bad” was written. In the “opening” column, when the front film 14 and the back film 15 are deformed so as to have a curved shape that is convex on the outer surface side, “good” is written. In addition to the plurality of curved portions that are convex on the outer surface side, a plurality of curved portions that are convex on the inner surface side are also indicated as “bad”.

As can be seen from the comparison between Examples A1 to A9 and Comparative Example A1, the packaging material 30 includes the high stiffness polyester film, so that the packaging material 30 is pierced compared to the case where the packaging material 30 does not include the high stiffness polyester film. The strength could be increased to 14N or higher. In Examples A1, A3, and A5 to A9, the piercing strength of the packaging material 30 was 16 N or more. Moreover, in Examples A2 and A4 in which the packaging material 30 includes a straight cut polyamide film in addition to the high stiffness polyester film, the puncture strength of the packaging material 30 was 18 N or more.

Further, as can be seen from the comparison between Examples A1 to A6 and Comparative Example A1, the packaging material 30 includes a high stiffness polyester film, and the sealant layer 70 includes polypropylene as a main component, so that the packaging material 30 has a high stiffness polyester film. The loop stiffness of the packaging material 30 could be increased to 0.160 N or higher, for example, 0.170 N or higher or 0.180 N or higher, in at least one direction, as compared with the case where the material was not included. In addition, the value obtained by dividing the loop stiffness of the packaging material 30 by the thickness of the packaging material 30 is 0.00150 N / μm or more, for example, 0.00160 N / μm or more, 0.00165 N / μm or more, or 0. It was possible to increase it to 190017 N / μm or more. Thereby, the opening property of the bag 10 provided with the packaging material 30 was able to be improved.

Further, as can be seen from the comparison between Examples A1 to A4 and Comparative Example A1, the packaging material 30 includes a straight cut film having tearability in the flow direction (MD) such as a straight cut polyester film and a straight cut polyamide film. As a result, it was possible to prevent the sealant layer 70 from extending when the packaging material 30 was torn. Regarding the tearability, in Examples A3 and A4, the test piece 100 could be smoothly torn across the entire area in the direction of the length V2, and thus the evaluation result was “good”. In Examples A1 and A2, the test piece 100 can be smoothly torn across the entire region in the direction of the length V2, and the two packaging materials 30 constituting the test piece 100 in the direction of the width V1. Since the positional deviation amount was 5 mm or less, the evaluation result was set to “great”. On the other hand, in Comparative Example A1, the sealant layer 70 of the packaging material 30 stretches in the middle, and for this reason, the test piece 100 could not be smoothly torn across the entire area in the direction of the length V2, and thus the evaluation result was “Bad”.
