Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of soft packaging, and particularly relates to an antibacterial packaging film and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The existing meat, bread, cheese and other products are usually packaged by using ordinary film materials, and have a short shelf life, such as 3-4 days for fresh meat in cold storage, 3-10 days for bread, etc. Long time will breed bacteria and other microorganisms, and it is difficult to achieve efficient preservation and long shelf life. The existing technology realizes several methods of efficient sterilization and prolonging shelf life. First, a bactericide is added to a slow-release substrate or coating, such as silver, and silver ions are released from the surface to water where they develop their biocidal properties. However, this leaching coating also has serious drawbacks. Their service life is limited because the bactericide will eventually be used up, and the water will be contaminated with potentially dangerous compounds.

[0003] Quaternary ammonium salt compounds have biocidal properties, and there have been many attempts to immobilize quaternary ammonium salt compounds on surfaces. However, polyethylene is composed only of carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds, and due to its inertness and chemical unreactivity, methods for attaching quaternary ammonium salt compounds to the surface of polyethylene are mostly tedious. However, for large-scale production, methods using ultraviolet-induced free radicals are not suitable, and hidden surfaces are difficult to be irradiated by ultraviolet light. Therefore, a non-leaching, simple, durable and inexpensive method is needed to immobilize quaternary ammonium salt compounds on polyethylene. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the defects in the prior art, and to provide an antibacterial composite film containing copper ions or silver ions to replace the traditional packaging structure of the material. A small amount of bactericide polymer is melt compounded with polyethylene to produce a composite material with antibacterial surface.

[0005] The packaging realizes the characteristics of sterilization, which can effectively eliminate bacteria or fungi that cause food deterioration, thereby prolonging the shelf life of food and improving the quality of food, and without changing the formula of the customer's product.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical scheme of the present application is to provide an antibacterial packaging film, comprising a first base layer and a second base layer arranged in sequence, the first base layer being selected from one or more of linear low-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, medium-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, and the second base layer being selected from one or more of polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide, polypropylene or polyethylene, characterized in that the first base layer contains 4-6% of metal ions and 1-4% of a bifunctional quaternary ammonium salt compound by total weight, the bifunctional quaternary ammonium salt compound comprising a main carbon chain with 10-22 carbon atoms and two ammonium groups, the ammonium groups being connected to carbon atoms at the ends of the main carbon chain.

[0007] Further preferred technical scheme is that the quaternary ammonium salt compound is selected from one or more of 1,12-bis(dimethyloctylammonium) dodecanedibromide and 1,20-bis(dimethylammonium) eicosanedibromide.

[0008] The present application also provides a method for preparing the antibacterial packaging film, characterized by comprising the following steps:

[0009] S1, preparing a bifunctional quaternary ammonium salt compound comprising a main carbon chain with 10-22 carbon atoms and two ammonium groups connected to carbon atoms at the ends of the main carbon chain;

[0010] S2, mixing the bifunctional quaternary ammonium salt compound and the metal ions with polyethylene particles respectively, regranulating, then mixing the bifunctional quaternary ammonium salt compound master batch, the metal ion master batch and the polyethylene resin for 1-2 hours, and preparing the first base layer by film blowing;

[0011] S3, placing the second base layer on the first unwinding frame to expand, applying solvent-based adhesive on the second base layer through the gluing unit, placing the first base layer on the second unwinding frame to expand, setting one unwinding tension, two unwinding tensions and a winding tension suitable for the materials, and using guide rollers to send the first base material and the second base material coated with solvent-free glue to the compounding device for compounding to obtain a composite film;

[0012] S4, placing the composite film obtained in step S3 into a curing chamber for curing, the curing temperature being 30-40℃ and the curing time being 36-48H.

[0013] Further preferably, the second base layer in step S3 is prepared by the following steps: the polyethylene terephthalate film is unwound on the first unwinding frame of the unwinding unit of the dry compound machine, the solvent adhesive is coated, the nylon film is unwound on the second unwinding frame, and is sent to the compound device for compounding, the first unwinding tension is 2-12 kgf, the second unwinding tension is 2-15 kgf, the winding tension is 12-30 kgf, the winding taper is 60-85%, the oven tension is 2-16 kgf, the compounding temperature is 55-80℃, the oven temperature is 65-90℃, the adhesive amount is 2.8-3.5 g / m2, the compounding roller pressure is 2.5-5 bar, the adhesive pressure is 2-4 bar, and the compounding speed is 90-200 m / min.

[0014] Further preferably, the first unwinding tension is 4-16 kgf, the second unwinding tension is 2-10%, the winding tension is 8-20 kgf, the winding taper is 60-85%, the oven tension is 10-18 kgf, the compounding temperature is 35-48℃, the oven temperature is 55-95℃, the adhesive amount is 2.8-3.4 g / m2, the compounding roller pressure is 2-5 bar, the adhesive pressure is 2-4 bar, and the compounding speed is 90-180 m / min.

[0015] Further preferably, the preparation of the bifunctional quaternary ammonium salt compound in step S1 is specifically as follows: dimethyloctylamine is added to 1,12-dibromododecane, and the mixture is dissolved in methanol, the mixture is refluxed for 20 hours, washed with ethyl acetate solution, distilled water, the residue is dissolved in dichloromethane, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and the dichloromethane is distilled off to obtain 1,12-bis(dimethyloctylammonium) dodecane dibromide.

[0016] Further preferably, the preparation of the bifunctional quaternary ammonium salt compound in step S1 is specifically as follows: 1,20-dibromoeicosane is dissolved in tetrahydrofuran, dimethyloctylamine is added, the solution is refluxed for 20 hours, and the tetrahydrofuran is distilled off with a rotary evaporator to obtain 1,20-bis(dimethylammonium) eicosane dibromide.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:

[0018] 1. The quaternary ammonium salt compound is fixed in the polyethylene matrix by van der Waals force, although the van der Waals force is relatively weak, but it is proportional to the length of the hydrocarbon chain of the quaternary ammonium salt compound, and the quaternary ammonium salt compound is immiscible with polyethylene, in the process of separating the ammonium group to the surface of polyethylene, the long chain of the quaternary ammonium salt compound can be entangled with the polyethylene chain, in addition to the anchoring effect of van der Waals force, it can also mechanically anchor the molecule in the matrix, and the long enough hydrocarbon chain can prevent leaching.

[0019] 2. The bifunctional quaternary ammonium salt structure is characterized by two cationic heads and two long-chain hydrophobic tails. As an antibacterial additive, bifunctional quaternary ammonium salt bactericides exhibit extremely strong bactericidal activity. This is due to two long-chain hydrophobic groups in the molecule, and also to the two positively charged ammonium groups. Through induction, the positive charge density on the quaternary nitrogen increases, which is more conducive to the adsorption of bactericide molecules on the surface of bacterial and algal cells, thereby altering the permeability of the cell wall and causing cell rupture. Furthermore, after the bactericide is adsorbed onto the bacterial surface, the hydrophobic and hydrophilic groups penetrate deep into the lipid and protein layers of the bacterial cell, respectively, leading to enzyme inactivation and protein denaturation. The combined effect of these two mechanisms gives the bactericide its strong bactericidal ability.

[0020] 3. After the packaging film is made into packaging bags and filled with contents, when bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms are formed inside the packaging, the metal ions in the packaging film and the bifunctional quaternary ammonium salt work together to enter the microbial cells, causing them to rupture or damage the bacterial cell membranes. At the same time, it can promote the formation of reactive oxygen species and cause catalytic reactions, ultimately killing the bacteria, fungi and other microorganisms that have multiplied, thus extending the shelf life of the contents.
