Description

Two-component curing adhesives, laminates, and packaging materials

[0001] This invention relates to a two-component curing adhesive, a laminate, and a packaging material.

[0002] For packaging materials of food, medical products, cosmetics, and daily necessities, composites are used that are multilayer laminated of metal foils such as aluminum foil, films having a metal vapor-deposited layer or an inorganic oxide vapor-deposited layer, and plastic films such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyester, and nylon. These laminates are formed by appropriately combining various plastic films, metal vapor-deposited films, or metal foils according to the required characteristics for each application and bonding them together with adhesives. As adhesives, two-component curing types consisting of a polyol composition and a polyisocyanate composition are generally used (for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2014-101422

[0004] Packaging materials for the aforementioned applications often have a printed layer. This printed layer typically contains layers of printing inks in multiple colors, such as yellow, red, cyan, and white. However, the white ink layer can sometimes be omitted and replaced with an adhesive layer colored white by dispersing white pigment. Furthermore, in recent years, efforts have been made to develop easily recyclable packaging materials to reduce environmental impact. One such material is a laminate made by bonding olefin resin substrates together with an adhesive. Such laminates exhibit inferior oxygen barrier properties compared to laminates using, for example, polyester film. Therefore, there is a need for a white adhesive with excellent oxygen barrier properties that is suitable for use in laminates made by bonding olefin resin substrates together with an adhesive.

[0005] This invention has been made in view of these problems, and aims to provide a white adhesive with excellent oxygen barrier properties.

[0006] In other words, the present invention relates to a two-component curing adhesive comprising a polyol composition (X) and a polyisocyanate composition (Y), wherein the polyol composition (X) comprises a polyol compound (A) and a white pigment (B), and the polyisocyanate composition (Y) comprises an isocyanate compound (C), and the polyol compound (A) is at least one selected from polyester polyols (A1-1) obtained by polycondensation of a polycarboxylic acid containing an ortho-directing polycarboxylic acid and a polyhydric alcohol, polyester polyols having an isocyanuric ring (A1-2), and polyester polyols having a polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond (A1-3), and includes a polyester polyol (A1) having a molecular weight of 200 g / mol or more and a molecular weight of 2000 g / mol or less.

[0007] According to the present invention, a white adhesive with excellent oxygen barrier properties can be provided.

[0008] <Two-component curing adhesive> The adhesive of the present invention is a two-component curing adhesive comprising a polyol composition (X) containing a polyol compound (A) and a white pigment (B), and a polyisocyanate composition (Y) containing an isocyanate compound (C).

[0009] (Polyol composition (X)) (Polyol compound (A)) Polyol compound (A) is at least one selected from polyester polyols (A1-1) obtained by polycondensation of a polycarboxylic acid containing an ortho-directing polycarboxylic acid and a polyhydric alcohol, polyester polyols having an isocyanuric ring (A1-2), and polyester polyols having a polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond (A1-3), and includes polyester polyol (A1) having a molecular weight of 200 g / mol or more and a molecular weight of 2000 g / mol or less.

[0010] Examples of ortho-directing polycarboxylic acids used in the synthesis of polyester polyol (A1-1) include orthophthalic acid or its acid anhydride, naphthalene 2,3-dicarboxylic acid or its acid anhydride, naphthalene 1,2-dicarboxylic acid or its acid anhydride, anthraquinone 2,3-dicarboxylic acid or its acid anhydride, and 2,3-anthracenecarboxylic acid or its acid anhydride. These compounds may have substituents on any carbon atom of the aromatic ring. Examples of substituents include chloro group, bromo group, methyl group, ethyl group, i-propyl group, hydroxyl group, methoxy group, ethoxy group, phenoxy group, methylthio group, phenylthio group, cyano group, nitro group, amino group, phthalimide group, carboxyl group, carbamoyl group, N-ethylcarbamoyl group, phenyl group, or naphthyl group.

[0011] The polycarboxylic acid used in the synthesis of polyester polyol (A1-1) may include polycarboxylic acids other than ortho-directing polycarboxylic acids. Examples of polycarboxylic acids other than ortho-directing polycarboxylic acids include aliphatic polycarboxylic acids such as succinic acid, adipic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, and dodecanedicarboxylic acid; unsaturated bond-containing polycarboxylic acids such as maleic anhydride, maleic acid, and fumaric acid; alicyclic polycarboxylic acids such as 1,3-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid and 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid; terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, pyromellitic acid, trimellitic acid, 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 2,5-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, naphthalic acid, biphenyldicarboxylic acid, 1,2-bis(phenoxy)ethane-p,p'-dicarboxylic acid and acid anhydrides or ester-forming derivatives of these dicarboxylic acids, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-(2-hydroxyethoxy)benzoic acid and ester-forming derivatives of these dihydroxycarboxylic acids, and aromatic polycarboxylic acids, and one or more of these can be used in combination. Among these, succinic acid, 1,3-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid, isophthalic acid, and their acid anhydrides are preferred.

[0012] When the polycarboxylic acid includes polycarboxylic acids other than ortho-directing polycarboxylic acids, it is preferable that the proportion of ortho-directing polycarboxylic acids to the total amount of polycarboxylic acids is 40 to 100% by mass.

[0013] The polyhydric alcohol used in the synthesis of polyester polyol (A1-1) preferably contains at least one selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, neopentyl glycol, and cyclohexanedimethanol, and more preferably contains ethylene glycol.

[0014] Polyhydric alcohols other than those listed above may be used in combination. Examples include aliphatic diols such as 1,5-pentanediol, 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, methylpentanediol, dimethylbutanediol, butylethylpropanediol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, and tripropylene glycol; trihydric or higher polyhydric alcohols such as glycerin, trimethylolpropane, trimethylolethane, tris(2-hydroxyethyl) isocyanurate, 1,2,4-butanetriol, pentaerythritol, and dipentaerythulitol; hydroquinone, resorcinol, catechol, naphthalenediol, biphenol, bisphenol A, hisphenol F, tetramethylbiphenol, and aromatic polyhydric phenols such as ethylene oxide extensions thereof and hydrogenated alicyclic groups.

[0015] If the polyester polyol (A1-1) has three or more hydroxyl groups, some of the hydroxyl groups may be modified with a polycarboxylic acid or its acid anhydride. Preferably, the proportion of hydroxyl groups modified with a polycarboxylic acid is 1 / 3 or less of the total hydroxyl groups present in the polyester polyol (A1-1). Examples of polycarboxylic acids used for modification include, but are not limited to, succinic anhydride, maleic acid, fumaric acid, 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic anhydride, 4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic anhydride, 5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, 2,3-naphthalenedicarboxylic anhydride, trimellitic anhydride, oleic acid, and sorbic acid.

[0016] Polyester polyol (A1-2) can be obtained, for example, by reacting a triol having an isocyanuric ring with a polycarboxylic acid containing an ortho-directing aromatic polycarboxylic acid and a polyhydric alcohol. Examples of triols having an isocyanuric ring include alkylene oxide adducts of isocyanuric acid such as 1,3,5-tris(2-hydroxyethyl)isocyanuric acid and 1,3,5-tris(2-hydroxypropyl)isocyanuric acid. The ortho-directing aromatic polycarboxylic acid, polycarboxylic acid, and polyhydric alcohol can be the same as those used in polyester polyol (A1-1).

[0017] As the triol compound having an isocyanuric ring, it is preferable to use 1,3,5-tris(2-hydroxyethyl)isocyanuric acid or 1,3,5-tris(2-hydroxypropyl)isocyanuric acid. As the ortho-directing aromatic polycarboxylic acid, it is preferable to use orthophthalic anhydride. As the polyhydric alcohol, it is preferable to use ethylene glycol.

[0018] Polyester polyols (A1-3) can be obtained by using components having polymerizable carbon-carbon double bonds as polycarboxylic acids and polyhydric alcohols.

[0019] Examples of polycarboxylic acids having polymerizable carbon-carbon double bonds include maleic anhydride, maleic acid, fumaric acid, 4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid and its acid anhydride, and 3-methyl-4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic acid and its acid anhydride. Maleic anhydride, maleic acid, and fumaric acid are preferred because it is presumed that the fewer carbon atoms there are, the less the molecular chain becomes excessively flexible and therefore less permeable to oxygen. Examples of polyhydric alcohols having polymerizable carbon-carbon double bonds include 2-butene-1,4-diol.

[0020] In addition to the above, polycarboxylic acids and polyhydric alcohols that do not have polymerizable carbon-carbon double bonds may be used in combination. As such polycarboxylic acids and polyhydric alcohols, those the same as those for polyester polyols (A1-1) and (A1-2) can be used. It is preferable to use at least one polycarboxylic acid selected from the group consisting of succinic acid, 1,3-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid, orthophthalic acid, acid anhydride of orthophthalic acid, and isophthalic acid, and it is more preferable to use at least one of orthophthalic acid and its acid anhydride. It is preferable to use at least one polyhydric alcohol selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, neopentyl glycol, and cyclohexanedimethanol, and it is more preferable to use ethylene glycol.

[0021] The molecular weight of polyester polyol (A1) is 200 g / mol or more and 2000 g / mol or less. This allows for the creation of a white adhesive with excellent oxygen barrier properties. The molecular weight is calculated from the obtained hydroxyl value and the number of functional groups of hydroxyl groups in the design.

[0022] The hydroxyl value of the polyester polyol (A1) is preferably 20 mg KOH / g or more and 250 mg KOH / g or less. If the hydroxyl value is less than 20 mg KOH / g, the molecular weight is too large, resulting in a high viscosity of the polyol composition (X), which requires a higher coating temperature for application as a solvent-free adhesive, for example. If the hydroxyl value exceeds 250 mg KOH / g, the crosslinking density of the cured coating film becomes too high, which may reduce the adhesive strength.

[0023] When the polyester polyol (A1) has acidic groups, the acid value is preferably 200 mg KOH / g or less. If the acid value exceeds 200 mg KOH / g, the reaction between the polyol composition (X) and the polyisocyanate composition (Y) may proceed too quickly, potentially reducing the coating suitability. There is no particular lower limit to the acid value, but as an example, it is 20 mg KOH / g or more. When the acid value is 20 mg KOH / g or more, good gas barrier properties and initial cohesive force can be obtained due to intermolecular interactions. The hydroxyl value of the polyester polyol (A1) can be measured using the hydroxyl value measurement method described in JIS-K0070, and the acid value can be measured using the acid value measurement method described in JIS-K0070.

[0024] Polyester polyol (A1) may also be polyester polyurethane polyol obtained by extending polyester polyols (A1-1) to (A1-3) with a diisocyanate compound. Since the urethane-extended polyester polyol contains molecular weight components above a certain level and urethane bonds, it has excellent gas barrier properties, excellent initial cohesive strength, and is excellent as an adhesive for lamination.

[0025] Polyol compound (A) may contain substances other than polyester polyol (A1). Examples of polyol compounds other than polyester polyol (A1) include polyester polyols other than polyester polyol (A1), polyether polyols, polyurethane polyols, vegetable oil polyols, sugar alcohols, etc. The content of these polyol compounds (A2) is preferably 50% by mass or less, and more preferably 20% by mass or less, of the total amount of polyol compound (A). Polyol compound (A) may not contain polyol compound (A2).

[0026] (White Pigment (B)) Examples of white pigment (B) include titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, zinc sulfide, barium sulfate, calcium carbonate, chromium oxide, silica, lithopone, antimony white, gypsum, and kaolinite, and one or more of these can be used in combination. It is also preferable that the white pigment be treated with silica and / or alumina. Titanium dioxide or zinc oxide is preferred because of its good dispersibility in polyester polyol (A1).

[0027] The average particle diameter of the white pigment (B) is preferably 100 nm or more and 1000 nm or less, and more preferably 100 nm or more and 500 nm or less. The average particle diameter of the white pigment (B) is obtained by measuring it with a transmission electron microscope or a scanning electron microscope and calculating the volume average diameter.

[0028] The content of the white pigment (B) can be adjusted as appropriate, but from the viewpoint of balancing the coating suitability of the adhesive, the opacity provided by the white pigment (B), and the storage stability of the polyol composition (X), it is preferably 30% by mass or more, preferably 40% by mass or more, preferably 80% by mass or less, and preferably 75% by mass or less of the solid content of the polyol composition (X).

[0029] The white pigment (B) is dispersed in the polyol composition (X) using a disperser. Examples of dispersers include, but are not limited to, roller mills, ball mills, pebble mills, attritors, sand mills, bead mills, and three-roll mills. If the polyol composition (X) contains air bubbles or unexpectedly large particles, it is preferable to remove them by filtration or the like. Conventional known filters can be used.

[0030] (Co-resin (D)) The polyol composition (X) may also preferably contain a co-resin (D) having a functional group having affinity for the white pigment (B) and a resin portion having affinity for polyester polyol (A1) or the organic solvent described later. Examples of functional groups having affinity for the white pigment (B) include acidic functional groups such as carboxyl groups, phosphate groups, and sulfonic acid groups, and basic functional groups such as primary amino groups, secondary amino groups, tertiary amino groups, quaternary ammonium bases, and nitrogen-containing heterocycles. Basic functional groups are preferred.

[0031] The resin portion can be made from polyurethane, polyacrylates and other polycarboxylic acid esters, unsaturated polyamides, polycarboxylic acids, polycarboxylic acid (partial)amine salts, polycarboxylic acid ammonium salts, polycarboxylic acid alkylamine salts, polysiloxanes, long-chain polyaminoamide phosphates, hydroxyl group-containing polycarboxylic acid esters, modified versions thereof, oily dispersants such as amides and salts formed by the reaction of poly(lower alkyleneimines) with polyesters having free carboxyl groups, water-soluble resins and water-soluble polymer compounds such as (meth)acrylic acid-styrene copolymers, (meth)acrylic acid-(meth)acrylic acid ester copolymers, styrene-maleic acid copolymers, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyester-based materials, modified polyacrylate-based materials, ethylene oxide / propylene oxide adduct compounds, phosphate ester-based materials, etc., and can be used individually or in combination of two or more, but is not necessarily limited to these.

[0032] The auxiliary resin (D) may have a comb-like structure in which a resin portion is attached as a side chain to a main chain to which a functional group having affinity for the white pigment (B) is attached; or it may have a linear resin portion with a functional group having affinity for the white pigment (B) attached to one end; or it may have a linear resin portion to which a functional group having affinity for the white pigment (B) is locally attached.

[0033] The content of the auxiliary resin (D) is adjusted as appropriate, but as an example, it is 0.01% by mass or more and 5% by mass or less relative to the white pigment (B), preferably 0.05% by mass or more and 4% by mass or less.

[0034] (Polyisocyanate composition (Y)) (Isocyanate compound (C))

[0035] The isocyanate compound (C) can be any conventionally known compound without particular limitation, including aromatic diisocyanates, aromatic aliphatic diisocyanates, aliphatic diisocyanates, alicyclic diisocyanates, and biuret, nurate, adduct, allophanate, carbodiimide modified, uretdione modified, iminooxadiazinedione, polyurethane polyisocyanates, etc., and can be used individually or in combination of two or more.

[0036] Examples of aromatic diisocyanates include 2,2'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, 2,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (also known as MDI), polymethylene polyphenyl polyisocyanate (also called polymeric MDI or crude MDI), 1,3-phenylenediisocyanate, 4,4'-diphenyl diisocyanate, 1,4-phenylenediisocyanate (also known as PPDI), and 2,4-toluene. Examples include, but are not limited to, diisocyanates, 2,6-toluene diisocyanate, 4,4'-toluidine diisocyanate, 2,4,6-triisocyanate toluene, 1,3,5-triisocyanate benzene, toidine diisocyanate (also known as TODI), dianisidine diisocyanate, naphthalene diisocyanate (also known as NDI), 4,4'-diphenyl ether diisocyanate, and 4,4',4''-triphenylmethane triisocyanate.

[0037] Aromatic aliphatic diisocyanates refer to aliphatic isocyanates having one or more aromatic rings in their molecule, and include, but are not limited to, m- or p-xylylene diisocyanate (also known as XDI) and α,α,α',α'-tetramethylxylylene diisocyanate (also known as TMXDI).

[0038] Examples of aliphatic diisocyanates include, but are not limited to, trimethylene diisocyanate, tetramethylene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate (also known as HDI), pentamethylene diisocyanate (also known as PDI), 1,2-propylene diisocyanate, 2,3-butylene diisocyanate, 1,3-butylene diisocyanate, dodecamethylene diisocyanate, 2,4,4-trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate, lysine diisocyanate (also known as LDI), etc.

[0039] Examples of alicyclic diisocyanates include, but are not limited to, 3-isocyanatomethyl-3,5,5-trimethylcyclohexyl isocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate (also known as IPDI), 1,3-cyclopentane diisocyanate, 1,3-cyclohexane diisocyanate, 1,4-cyclohexane diisocyanate, methyl-2,4-cyclohexane diisocyanate, methyl-2,6-cyclohexane diisocyanate, 4,4'-methylenebiscyclohexyl isocyanate (also known as hydrogenated MDI or HMDI), 1,3-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane (also known as hydrogenated XDI or HXDI), hydrogenated TMXDI, norbornane diisocyanate (also known as NBDI), etc.

[0040] Examples of the compounds used for synthesizing the adduct include low molecular weight active hydrogen compounds such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, metaxylylene alcohol, 1,3-bis(hydroxyethyl)benzene, 1,4-bis(hydroxyethyl)benzene, trimethylolpropane, glycerol, pentaerythritol, erythritol, sorbitol, ethylenediamine, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, metaxylylenediamine, etc.

[0041] Compounds used in the synthesis of polyurethane polyisocyanates include alkylene oxide adducts of the low molecular weight active hydrogen compounds mentioned above, various polyester resins, and high molecular weight active hydrogen compounds of polyamides, and can be used individually or in combination of two or more. Preferred compounds include at least one selected from polyester polyols (A1-1) to (A1-3), and diols with a molecular weight of 65 to 300.

[0042] As the diol having a molecular weight of 65 or more and 300 or less, 1,2-propanediol, neopentyl glycol, 2-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 2-methyl-1,3-butanediol, 2-ethyl-1,3-butanediol, 2-propyl-1,3-butanediol, 2-butyl-1,3-butanediol, 2-pentyl-1,3-butanediol, 2-(1-methylethyl)-1,3-butanediol, 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-butanediol, 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butanediol, 2-ethyl-2-methyl-1,3-butanediol, 3-methyl-1,3-butanediol, 1,2-pentanediol, 1,3-pentanediol, 2,4-pentanediol, 2-methyl-1,3-pentanediol, 2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-propyl-1,3-propanediol, 4-methyl 1,3-pentanediol, 2,4-dimethyl-1,3-pentanediol, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol, 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol, 3-methyl-2,4-pentanediol, 3-ethyl-2,4-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, 1,3-hexanediol, 2-methyl-1,3-hexanediol, 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol, 4-methyl-1,3-hexanediol, 5-methyl-1,3-hexanediol, 2,4-hexanediol, 1,3-heptanediol, 2-methyl-1,3-methyl-heptanediol, 4-methyl-1,3-heptanediol, 5-methyl-1,3-heptanediol, 6-methyl-1,3-heptanediol, 2,4-heptanediol, 2,4-octanediol, 3,5-octanediol, 2,4-nonanediol, 3,5-nonanediol, 4,6-nonanediol, etc., diols having an alkyl side chain with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and

[0044] It is more preferable to use isocyanate compounds having a skeleton derived from xylylene diisocyanate, hydrogenated xylylene diisocyanate, toluene diisocyanate, or diphenylmethane diisocyanate, as these provide good gas barrier properties.

[0045] It is also preferable that the isocyanate compound (C) has a diisocyanate monomer content reduced to 1.0% by mass or less, more preferably to 0.1% by mass or less. In particular, when an aromatic diisocyanate other than diphenylmethane diisocyanate is used as the isocyanate compound (C), it is also preferable that the content of the aromatic diisocyanate is reduced to 1.0% by mass or less, more preferably to 0.1% by mass or less.

[0046] When manufacturing laminates for food packaging using a two-component curing adhesive containing aromatic diisocyanates, unreacted aromatic isocyanate monomers may remain in the adhesive layer. These isocyanate monomers react with surrounding water to form primary aromatic amines (PAAs), which may migrate through the film and leach into the contents (food). PAAs are a cause for concern due to their potential harmful effects on human health, and various regulations have been established, including the European Commission's regulations on plastic materials and products for food contact, which set detection limits for PAAs.

[0047] Since PAA reacts with unreacted aromatic isocyanates in the surrounding environment, the concentration of PAA gradually decreases even if aromatic isocyanates remain in the adhesive layer. Eventually, it will fall below the detection limit, but from the viewpoint of manufacturing efficiency for laminates used in food packaging, it is preferable to have a low initial value of aromatic isocyanate monomers remaining in the adhesive layer. By removing diisocyanate monomers in advance, a two-component curing adhesive with excellent manufacturing efficiency can be produced.

[0048] The diisocyanate monomer can be removed by distilling it under reduced pressure using a short-pass distillation apparatus or a thin-film distillation apparatus. The degree of reduced pressure and distillation temperature are adjusted as appropriate depending on the diisocyanate monomer to be removed, but as an example, they are 0.1 mbar or less and 120°C to 190°C. The diisocyanate monomer removal process may be performed multiple times.

[0049] (Additive (E)) The adhesive of the present invention may contain additive (E) to the extent that it does not impair the adhesive properties and gas barrier properties. Additive (E) may be included in either or both of the polyol composition (X) and the polyisocyanate composition (Y), or it may be prepared separately and mixed with the polyol composition (X) and the polyisocyanate composition (Y) immediately before application of the adhesive. The components will be described below.

[0050] (Urethane catalyst (E1)) Examples of urethane catalyst (E1) include metal catalysts, amine catalysts, aliphatic cyclic amide compounds, and quaternary ammonium salts.

[0083] (Drying aid (E7)) Drying aid (E7) has the function of promoting the volatilization of organic solvents. Examples of drying aid (E7) include isosorbide, isomannide, isoidide, triacetin, dibutyl sebacate, bis(2-ethylhexyl) terephthalate, and bis(2-ethylhexyl) adipate. By including drying aid (E7), the organic solvent volatilizes more easily during the drying process of the adhesive described later, and less organic solvent remains in the cured coating film of the adhesive.

[0084] The drying aid (E7) preferably has a hydroxyl group. This allows it to react with the isocyanate compound (C) and be incorporated into the cured coating film. Unlike additives without functional groups, there is no risk of it migrating from the adhesive layer to other layers over time, and it has little effect on the physical properties of the adhesive layer over time. The hydroxyl group of the drying aid (E7) is preferably a secondary hydroxyl group. Because it has lower reactivity with the isocyanate compound (C) compared to a primary hydroxyl group, it can effectively suppress the reaction with the isocyanate compound (C) before the drying process.

[0085] From the viewpoint of effectively suppressing the residue of organic solvents, the amount of drying aid (E7) blended is preferably 0.5% by mass or more, and more preferably 1% by mass or more, of the total solid content of the adhesive. From the viewpoint of the solubility of the drying aid (E7) in the adhesive solution, it is preferably 50% by mass or less, and more preferably 30% by mass or less.

[0086] (Plate-shaped inorganic compound (E8)) Using plate-shaped inorganic compound (E8) is preferable because it improves adhesive strength, gas barrier properties, light shielding properties, etc. Examples of platy inorganic compounds (E8) include hydrated silicates (phyllosilicate minerals, etc.), kaolinite-serpentine clay minerals (haloysite, kaolinite, endelite, dickite, nacrite, etc., antigorite, chrysotile, etc.), pyrophyllite-talc group (pyrophyllite, talc, kerolite, etc.), smectite group clay minerals (montmorillonite, beidelite, nontronite, saponite, hectorite, souconite, stevensite, etc.), vermiculite group clay minerals (vermiculite, etc.), mica or mica group clay minerals (muscovite, phlogopite, etc., margalite, tetrasilicic mica, teniolite, etc.), chlorite group (cuquerite, sudoite, clinochlore, chamosite, nimite, etc.), hydrotalcite, platy barium sulfate, boehmite, and polyaluminum phosphate. These minerals may be natural or synthetic clay minerals. Plate-shaped inorganic compounds can be used individually or in combination of two or more types.

[0087] The plate-like inorganic compound (E8) may be ionic, having an interlayer charge, or nonionic, having no interlayer charge. The presence or absence of interlayer charge does not directly and significantly affect the gas barrier properties of the adhesive of the present invention. However, ionic plate-like inorganic compounds and inorganic compounds that swell in water have poor dispersibility in organic solvents, and increasing the amount added may thicken the adhesive or make it thixotropic, potentially reducing its coating suitability. For this reason, it is preferable that the plate-like inorganic compound (E8) is nonionic and has no interlayer charge.

[0088] The average particle size of the plate-like inorganic compound (E8) is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.1 μm or larger, and more preferably 1 μm or larger. If it is smaller than 0.1 μm, the detour path for oxygen molecules will not be long enough, and a sufficient improvement in gas barrier properties cannot be expected. There is no particular upper limit to the average particle size, but if the particle size is too large, defects such as streaks may occur on the coated surface depending on the coating method. For this reason, the average particle size is preferably 100 μm or less, and more preferably 20 μm or less. In this specification, the average particle size of the plate-like inorganic compound (E8) refers to the particle size that appears most frequently when the particle size distribution of the plate-like inorganic compound (E8) is measured using a light scattering measuring device.

[0089] A higher aspect ratio is preferable for improving gas barrier properties due to the labyrinthine effect of oxygen. Specifically, a ratio of 3 or higher is preferred, more preferably 10 or higher, and most preferably 40 or higher.

[0090] The amount of plate-like inorganic compound (E8) is arbitrary, but as an example, when the total solid content mass of the polyol composition (X), polyisocyanate composition (Y), and plate-like inorganic compound (E8) is 100 parts by mass, the amount of plate-like inorganic compound (E8) is 5 to 50 parts by mass.

[0091] (Other Additives (E9)) In addition, the adhesive of the present invention may contain stabilizers (antioxidants, heat stabilizers, UV absorbers, etc.), antistatic agents, lubricants, antiblocking agents, crystal nucleating agents, etc.

[0092] (Form of Adhesive) The adhesive of the present invention may be in either a solvent-type or solvent-free form. In this specification, a solvent-type adhesive refers to a form used in a method in which the adhesive is applied to a substrate, heated in an oven or the like to volatilize the organic solvent in the coating film, and then bonded to another substrate, a method known as the dry lamination method. Examples of solvents that can be used include toluene, xylene, methylene chloride, tetrahydrofuran, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, n-propyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), cyclohexanone, toluene, xylol, n-hexane, and cyclohexane. Either one or both of the polyol composition (X) and the polyisocyanate composition (Y) contain the above-mentioned organic solvent. In the case of a solvent-type adhesive, the solvent used as a reaction medium during the production of the components of the polyol composition (X) or the polyisocyanate composition (Y) may also be used as a diluent during painting.

[0093] A solvent-free adhesive refers to a form used in the so-called non-solvent lamination method, where the adhesive is applied to a substrate and then bonded to another substrate without the step of heating in an oven or the like to evaporate the solvent. Neither the polyol composition (X) nor the polyisocyanate composition (Y) substantially contains the aforementioned organic solvents. If trace amounts of organic solvent remain in the polyol composition (X) or polyisocyanate composition (Y) due to incomplete removal of the components of the polyol composition (X) or polyisocyanate composition (Y) or the organic solvent used as a reaction medium during the manufacturing of their raw materials, it is considered that the adhesive substantially does not contain organic solvents. Furthermore, if the polyol composition (X) contains a low molecular weight alcohol, the low molecular weight alcohol reacts with the polyisocyanate composition (Y) to become part of the coating film, so there is no need to evaporate it after application. Therefore, this form is also treated as a solvent-free adhesive.

[0094] The two-component curing adhesive of the present invention is preferably formulated so that the ratio [NCO] / [isocyanate-reactive functional groups] between the number of moles of isocyanate groups [NCO] contained in the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the number of moles of functional groups that are reactive with isocyanate [isocyanate-reactive functional groups] contained in the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) is 0.5 to 5.0, more preferably 1.0 to 3.0. This makes it possible to obtain appropriate curing properties without depending on the ambient humidity during coating.

[0095] <Laminate> The laminate of the present invention can be obtained, for example, by a method having a two-component mixing step, in which the adhesive of the present invention (a mixture of polyisocyanate composition (X) and isocyanate reactive composition (Y)) is applied to a first substrate, then a second substrate is laminated onto the applied surface, and the adhesive layer is cured; or by a method having a two-component fractional coating step, in which the polyisocyanate composition (X) and isocyanate reactive composition (Y) are applied separately to a first substrate and a second substrate, and then the first substrate and the second substrate are laminated by bringing the respective applied surfaces into contact and pressing them together, and the adhesive layer is cured. There are no particular restrictions on the substrate used, and it can be appropriately selected according to the application.

[0096] For example, for food packaging, examples include polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, polystyrene film, polyamide film, polyacrylonitrile film, polyethylene film (LLDPE: low-density polyethylene film, HDPE: high-density polyethylene film, MDOPE: uniaxially oriented polyethylene film, BOPE: biaxially oriented polyethylene film), polypropylene film (CPP: unoriented polypropylene film, OPP: biaxially oriented polypropylene film), ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer, and gas barrier heat-seal films such as polyolefin films, polyvinyl alcohol films, and ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer films, which have an olefin-based heat-sealable resin layer on one or both sides of a gas barrier resin such as polyvinyl alcohol.

[0097] Furthermore, it is also preferable to use biomass films, biodegradable films, or recycled plastic films made from materials containing biomass-derived components, biodegradable components, or recycled components. Biomass films, biodegradable films, and recycled plastic films are sold by various companies, and in addition, films certified in each country can be used, such as film sheets listed in the biomass certified product list of the Japan Organic Resources Association, films listed in the Eco Mark certified product list of the Japan Environment Association, and films bearing the symbol mark set by the Japan Bioplastics Association.

[0098] The film may be stretched. A common stretching method involves melting and extruding the resin into a sheet using methods such as extrusion film formation, followed by simultaneous biaxial stretching or sequential biaxial stretching. In the case of sequential biaxial stretching, it is common to first perform longitudinal stretching, followed by transverse stretching. Specifically, a method combining longitudinal stretching using the speed difference between rolls and transverse stretching using a tenter is frequently used.

[0099] Various surface treatments, such as flame treatment or corona discharge treatment, may be applied to the film surface as needed to ensure that an adhesive layer free from defects such as film breakage or repulsion is formed.

[0100] Alternatively, a barrier film containing a gas barrier layer such as polyvinyl alcohol, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, or vinylidene chloride may be used in combination. By using such a film, a laminate can be made that has barrier properties against water vapor, oxygen, alcohol, inert gases, volatile organic compounds (fragrances), etc.

[0101] As for the paper, any known paper substrate can be used without particular limitation. Specifically, it is manufactured using natural fibers for papermaking such as wood pulp and manufactured on a known paper machine, but the papermaking conditions are not particularly specified. Examples of natural fibers for papermaking include wood pulp such as softwood pulp and hardwood pulp, non-wood pulp such as Manila hemp pulp, sisal hemp pulp, and flax pulp, and pulps that have been chemically modified. As for the type of pulp, chemical pulps produced by sulfate pulping, acidic, neutral, and alkaline sulfite pulping, soda salt pulping, etc., as well as gland pulp, chemigland pulp, thermomechanical pulp, etc. can be used. In addition, various commercially available fine papers, coated papers, backing papers, impregnated papers, cardboard, and paperboard can also be used.

Alternatively, a substrate 1 coated with a coating for purposes such as improving gas barrier properties or ink receptivity when providing the printing layer described later may be used.

Examples of sealant films include CPP film, LLDPE film, easy-open heat-seal film, and gas-barrier heat-seal film. The printing layer may be provided on the side of the substrate 1 facing the adhesive layer 1 (or, if a coated substrate film 1 is used, on the side of the coating layer facing the adhesive layer 1) or on the side opposite to the adhesive layer 1. The printing layer is formed using various printing inks such as gravure ink, flexographic ink, offset ink, stencil ink, and inkjet ink, using general printing methods conventionally used for printing on polymer films and paper.

An anchor coat layer may be provided between the vapor-deposited layer and the substrate on which the vapor-deposited layer is provided for the purpose of improving the adhesion of the vapor-deposited layer or improving barrier properties.

When used as a multilayer packaging material, the layer configuration may change depending on the contents, usage environment, and usage form. Furthermore, the packaging material of the present invention may be provided with an easy-open treatment or resealing means as appropriate.

[0120] As an example of a specific embodiment of the packaging material of the present invention, a packaging material made by forming a bag from the laminate described above can be mentioned. The laminate is folded or overlapped so that the inner layers (sealant film surfaces) face each other, and the peripheral edges are heat-sealed to form a bag.

[0123] <Recycled Plastics> The laminates and packaging materials of the present invention can be used as raw materials for recycled plastics. The recycled plastics of the present invention are recycled using the laminates and packaging materials of the present invention as raw materials. The method for recycling the laminates and packaging materials is not particularly limited, and known methods can be used. Examples include crushing the laminates and packaging materials, melting and kneading them, then pelletizing and molding them, or directly feeding the crushed laminates and packaging materials into an extrusion molding machine and melting and kneading them in the heating cylinder of the molding machine to use them as molding raw materials without melting and kneading or pelletizing.

[0124] Laminates and packaging materials can be crushed using known crushers. The crusher is not particularly limited and examples include using a jaw crusher, impact crusher, cutter mill, stamp mill, ring mill, roller mill, jet mill, or hammer mill. The size of the fragments of the printed material or laminate is preferably 1 mm to 40 mm in side length, and more preferably 8 mm to 20 mm.

[0125] It is preferable that the crushed laminates and packaging materials are washed before being subjected to heating and melting. Washing methods include batch or continuous washing, and water, detergent, neutralizing agent, or alkaline aqueous solution may be used. Furthermore, it is preferable that the washed laminates and packaging materials are dehydrated and dried. Centrifugal dehydration is preferred as the dehydration method, and hot air drying is preferred as the drying method.

[0126] Dehydration and drying allow for adjustment of the moisture content of the laminate subjected to heating and melting. This helps to avoid foaming during the production of recycled plastics. If air bubbles occur during pellet production, the pressure in the cylinder changes, causing the extrusion amount and pressure to be inconsistent, which may result in irregular pellet shapes and dimensions. Furthermore, when manufacturing molded products using the produced pellets through secondary molding, surface irregularities are likely to occur, potentially degrading the surface condition of the molded product.

[0127] In one embodiment, dehydration and drying are carried out until the moisture content of the laminate used for the production of recycled plastic is 3% by mass or less, preferably 2% by mass or less, more preferably 1% by mass or less, and even more preferably 0.5% by mass or less, based on the total mass of the laminate.

[0128] The crushed laminates and packaging materials are heated and melted at 120-280°C and then kneaded. The temperature at which the laminates and packaging materials are melted can be adjusted considering the glass transition temperature and melting temperature of the laminates or packaging materials, the shape when pelletized, and the pressure applied during the molding process. The screw rotation speed during kneading is, for example, 50-1000 RPM.

[0129] The laminate and packaging material thus melt-kneaded are cooled and shredded to form pellets. Examples of pelletizing methods include hot-cutting and strand-cutting methods, but are not particularly limited. To prevent foreign matter from being mixed into the pellets, it is preferable to provide a screen mesh at the discharge section of the melt-kneaded laminate and packaging material. Examples of screen meshes include woven types such as plain weave, twill weave, plain tatami weave and twill tatami, and perforated metal types. The size of the screen mesh is preferably 40 mesh or more, more preferably 80 mesh or more, and even more preferably 120 mesh or more, taking into consideration the pressure at the discharge section and clogging. Examples of cooling methods include air cooling, wind cooling, and water cooling. In the present invention, it is preferable to include a water cooling step. It is preferable to cool to 20°C to 80°C, and more preferably to 30°C to 60°C.

[0130] The laminate of the present invention can be used as is in the production of recycled plastics if the multiple base materials constituting the laminate are made of the same type of resin. Alternatively, it may be used in the production of recycled plastics after being immersed in a release agent (for example, an alkaline solution such as an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution) for a certain period of time to separate each layer of the laminate.

[0131] If the multiple substrates constituting the laminate of the present invention are made of different resin types, it is preferable to immerse them in a release agent for a certain period of time to separate each layer of the laminate, and then separate them by resin type for use in the production of recycled plastics. Conventional known release agents can be used.

[0132] The material may be used in the manufacture of recycled plastic after the printed layer has been removed. The printed layer can be removed by known methods. The printed layer itself may be formed using a printing ink that is easily peeled off from the substrate by immersion in a release agent, or a delamination layer may be formed by applying a coating agent containing a resin that is easily peeled off from the substrate by immersion in a release agent between the printed layer and the substrate, and the printed layer may be provided on the delamination layer.

[0133] The recycled plastic of the present invention may contain known additives. Examples of such additives include at least one antioxidant selected from the group consisting of phenolic and phosphorus-based agents; at least one lubricant selected from the group consisting of fatty acid amides, alkylene fatty acid amides, metal soaps, and esters; hindered amine-based weather stabilizers; waxes with an acid value of 5 mg KOH / g or less; and at least one antistatic agent selected from the group consisting of fatty acid sulfons and fatty acid esters.

[0134] The recycled plastic of the present invention may contain virgin plastic as a raw material in addition to the laminate and packaging material of the present invention. The virgin plastic added shall be of the same resin type as the base material used in the laminate of the present invention. The virgin plastic may be added when pelletizing the laminate and packaging material of the present invention, or when molding the pelletized recycled plastic of the present invention. It may also be added both when pelletizing and when molding the recycled plastic. As an example, the amount of virgin plastic used in combination when pelletizing the laminate and packaging material of the present invention is in the range of laminate / packaging material:virgin plastic of 100:0 to 25:75 (mass ratio). As an example, the amount of virgin plastic used when molding the pelletized recycled plastic of the present invention is in the range of recycled plastic:virgin plastic of 100:0 to 25:75 (mass ratio).

[0135] The recycled plastic of the present invention can be used as a raw material for various plastic products. Examples of plastic products include, but are not limited to, automobile parts such as bumpers and interior materials, components for home appliances, containers such as pallets and containers for transport, bottles, hangers, stationery, pots and cups, disposable cutlery, and toys. It can also be recycled as a film, or the recycled film can be molded and used as cushioning material when transporting fruits, etc., but is not limited to these uses. As a method for turning the recycled plastic of the present invention into a film to produce a recycled film, known methods such as T-die molding, inflation molding, solution casting molding, and calendering can be used. As a method for molding the recycled film, known methods such as vacuum forming and hot press molding can be used.
