Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of packaging materials technology, specifically to a high-barrier, straight-line, easy-tear thermoforming film and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with economic development, people's material lives have become increasingly richer, and the pace of life has accelerated. The food industry is also developing towards greater convenience and speed. This has led to new requirements for the packaging of staple and non-staple food semi-finished products: easy to open, pour, and remove; convenient to use; and high barrier properties to effectively maintain the quality of the packaged contents.

[0003] Currently available high-barrier thermoforming films on the market have high tear strength but lack the ability to be easily torn in a straight line; or they are easy to tear in a straight line but cannot be deeply stretched and thermoformed.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent CN109666292A describes a BOPA film with high barrier properties and easy tearing properties. It describes a nylon film with good barrier properties and easy tearing properties, and low production cost. It can improve the barrier properties of nylon film by more than 100%, and also has straight tearing properties. Compared with existing ordinary BOPA nylon film, the production cost is reduced by 50% compared with existing easy tearing nylon film.

[0005] The problem with the above technology is that although nylon film reduces material costs, it cannot be deeply stretched and thermoformed when actually used in food packaging bags, which limits the process design. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a high-barrier, straight-line easy-tear thermoforming film and its preparation method, which, while ensuring excellent thermoforming performance, is also low-cost and has a straight-line easy-tear effect, thus solving the problems existing in the prior art.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a high-barrier straight-line easy-tear thermoformed film, comprising a base film layer, an adhesive layer, and a high-barrier heat-sealing layer, wherein the base film layer and the high-barrier heat-sealing layer are straight-line easy-tear films, wherein the base film layer is composed of eight to ten layers of water-cooled down-blown co-extruded polyethylene film, and the high-barrier heat-sealing layer is composed of five, seven, nine, eleven, or thirteen layers of air-cooled up-blown co-extruded polyethylene film.

[0008] Furthermore, the water-cooled downblown co-extruded polyethylene film consists of an eight- or ten-layer structure, with the main structure being: PE layer - TIE adhesive layer - PA layer - TIE adhesive layer - PE layer.

[0009] Furthermore, the thickness of the water-cooled downblown co-extruded polyethylene film is 50–250 μm.

[0010] Furthermore, the longitudinal traction ratio of the water-cooled downblown co-extruded polyethylene film is ≥4.

[0011] Furthermore, the air-cooled, top-blown co-extruded polyethylene film is composed of five, seven, nine, eleven, or thirteen layers, with the main structure being: PE layer - TIE adhesive layer - EVOH layer - TIE adhesive layer - PE layer.

[0012] Furthermore, the thickness of the air-cooled, top-blown co-extruded polyethylene film is 30–100 μm.

[0013] Furthermore, the adhesive layer is a solvent-free polyurethane adhesive layer.

[0014] Based on the same technical problem, the present invention further provides a method for preparing a high-barrier, straight-line, easy-tear thermoforming film, the steps of which are as follows:

[0015] S1. Preparation of the base film layer:

[0016] S11. The raw materials for each layer of the water-cooled downblown co-extruded polyethylene film are added to the corresponding extruders, melt-mixed in the barrel of the extruder, and extruded through the die.

[0017] S12. After the raw material is extruded through the die head, it is blown into a film bubble with a transverse blow-up ratio ≥1.2. The film bubble is cooled by water cooling.

[0018] S13. The membrane bubble is extruded into a sheet film under the action of the herringbone plate and the traction guide roller. The film is pulled under the action of the main traction roller. The longitudinal stretch ratio is controlled to be ≥4 to prepare a co-extruded polyethylene film.

[0019] S2. Preparation of a high-barrier heat-sealing layer:

[0020] S21. The component raw materials of each layer of the air-cooled and top-blown co-extruded polyethylene film are added to the corresponding extruders in proportion and melt-mixed in the barrel of the extruder.

[0021] S23. Blow molding into a film bubble with a lateral blow-up ratio ≥1.4. The film bubble is cooled by the action of the air ring, which is located below the film bubble, and the cold air is blown upward to the surface of the film bubble.

[0022] S23. The film bubble is squeezed into a sheet film under the action of the herringbone plate and the traction guide roller. The film is pulled to be wound up under the action of the main traction roller to form the air-cooled top-blown co-extruded polyethylene high-barrier film.

[0023] S3. Film forming: The base film layer and the high-barrier heat-sealing layer are bonded together by the adhesive layer.

[0024] Furthermore, in step S11, the raw materials of the water-cooled downblown co-extruded polyethylene film have a PA content of 20% to 45%, a PE content of 55% to 80%, and a TIE content of 5% to 15%.

[0025] Furthermore, in step S21, the raw material of the air-cooled top-blown co-extruded polyethylene film has a PE content of 80% to 95%, a TIE content of 5% to 15%, and an EVOH content of 3% to 20%.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by the present invention are as follows: the present invention uses water-cooled down-blown co-extruded polyethylene film to form the base film layer and air-cooled up-blown co-extruded polyethylene film to form the high-barrier heat-sealing layer. Both the base film layer and the high-barrier heat-sealing layer have a straight tear-resistant effect. While ensuring excellent deep stretching and thermoforming performance, the cost is reduced, filling a market gap. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The accompanying drawings are provided to further illustrate the invention and form part of the specification. They are used in conjunction with embodiments of the invention to explain the invention and do not constitute a limitation thereof. In the drawings:

[0028] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the high-barrier, straight, easy-tear thermoforming film of the present invention.

[0029] The components are: 1. Base film layer; 2. Adhesive layer; 3. High-barrier heat seal layer. Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 A high-barrier, straight-line, easy-tear thermoformed film is disclosed, comprising a base film layer 1, an adhesive layer 2, and a high-barrier heat-sealing layer 3. Both the base film layer 1 and the high-barrier heat-sealing layer 3 are straight-line, easy-tear films. The base film layer 1 is composed of eight or ten layers of water-cooled down-blown co-extruded polyethylene film. The main structure of the water-cooled down-blown co-extruded polyethylene film is PE / TIE / PA / TIE / PE in sequence. The eight or ten layers refer to the addition of PE or PA layers to the main structure, with the PE or PA layers connected by a TIE adhesive layer. Each PE or PA layer after synthesis counts as one layer, totaling eight or ten layers. The raw materials for the water-cooled down-blown co-extruded polyethylene film contain 20%–45% PA, 55%–80% PE, and 5%–15% TIE.

[0032] The high-barrier heat-sealing layer 3 consists of five, seven, nine, eleven, or thirteen layers of air-cooled, top-blown co-extruded polyethylene film. The main structure of the air-cooled, top-blown co-extruded polyethylene film is PE / TIE / EVOH / TIE / PE. PE layers are added accordingly to the main structure, and the PE layers are connected to the main structure through TIE adhesive layers. Each PE layer and EVOH layer after synthesis counts as one layer, totaling five, seven, nine, eleven, or thirteen layers. The raw materials for the air-cooled, top-blown co-extruded polyethylene film have a PE content of 80%–95%, a TIE content of 5%–15%, and an EVOH content of 3%–20%. The EVOH layer provides oxygen barrier properties, and the PE layer provides water barrier properties, further enhancing the water and oxygen barrier properties of the high-barrier, straight-line, easy-tear thermoforming film.

[0033] A method for preparing a high-barrier, straight-line, easy-tear thermoforming film, comprising the following steps:

[0034] S1. Preparation of the base film layer:

[0035] S11. The raw materials for each layer of the water-cooled downblown co-extruded polyethylene film are added to the corresponding extruders, melt-mixed in the barrel of the extruder, and extruded through the die.

[0036] S12. After the raw material is extruded through the die head, it is blown up with a transverse blow-up ratio ≥1.2. The bubble is cooled by the air ring, which is located above the bubble. The cold air is blown downward to the surface of the bubble.

[0037] S13. The membrane bubble is extruded into a sheet film under the action of the herringbone plate and the traction guide roller. The film is pulled under the action of the main traction roller. The longitudinal stretch ratio is controlled to be ≥4 to prepare a co-extruded polyethylene film.

[0038] S2. Preparation of a high-barrier heat-sealing layer:

[0039] S21. The component raw materials of each layer of the air-cooled and top-blown co-extruded polyethylene film are added to the corresponding extruders in proportion and melt-mixed in the barrel of the extruder.

[0040] S22. Blow molding into a film bubble with a lateral blow-up ratio ≥1.4. The film bubble is cooled by the action of the air ring, which is located below the film bubble, and the cold air is blown upward to the surface of the film bubble.

[0041] S23. The film bubble is squeezed into a sheet film under the action of the clamping plate and the traction guide roller. The film is pulled under the action of the main traction roller and then air-cooled to form an air-cooled top-blown co-extruded polyethylene high-barrier film.

[0042] S3. Thin film forming: The base film layer and the high-barrier heat seal layer are bonded together with an adhesive layer.

[0043] Traditionally, easy-tear thermoforming films have been made from biaxially stretched films such as BOPA and BOPET. However, biaxially stretched films cannot undergo further deep stretching or thermoforming. In contrast, the method described in this embodiment uses downblowing and water cooling to form the film, eliminating the need for biaxial stretching. Therefore, the easy-tear thermoforming film prepared by this method exhibits excellent deep stretching and thermoforming properties.
