Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of heat shrink film, and more specifically to a low-shrinkage PETG composite heat shrink film. Background Technology

[0002] Heat shrink film refers to labels used to wrap around the outside of containers, including plastic bottles and glass bottles. Heat shrink film has good gloss, adhesion, and shrinkage properties. Because of its gloss and shrinkage, the packaging designs on containers are more vivid and stand out on supermarket shelves, creating an unexpected shelf effect, and is therefore widely used in container packaging.

[0003] The main materials used for heat shrink film in labeling include polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate-1,4-cyclohexanediol (PETG), and oriented polystyrene (OPS). PVC heat shrink film has characteristics such as high tensile strength, high elongation, good self-adhesion, and high transparency, but it also has the drawback of easily generating highly toxic dioxins during recycling and poor environmental performance, leading to its gradual ban. OPS heat shrink film has characteristics such as high strength, high rigidity, shape stability, good gloss and transparency, and is easy to process, easy to color, has good printability, and extremely high printing resolution, but it is more expensive and requires special ink solvents. PETG heat shrink film has characteristics such as being non-toxic, odorless, high strength, high heat shrinkage rate, good optical properties, mechanical elongation, and aesthetically pleasing packaging effects, leading to the rapid growth in the use of OPS and PETG heat shrink films.

[0004] Currently, the requirements for PETG composite heat shrink film on the market usually focus on how to balance shrinkage stress and shrinkage force. Introducing fillers such as nano silica or talc can disperse shrinkage stress, but adding too much will cause a significant decrease in strength and heat shrinkage rate. In addition, due to the large amount of additives added, it is easy to cause local deformation or arc-shaped poor shrinkage when the interface shrinks. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a low-shrinkage PETG composite heat-shrink film.

[0036] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0037] 1. This invention prepares a PETG composite heat-shrinkable film, comprising upper and lower surface layers and a middle inner core layer. The upper and lower surface layers are composed of the same PETG film, while the inner core layer is a PETG / PBAT composite film. The PETG composite shrinkable film designed by this invention can maintain low shrinkage stress while ensuring strength, and enhances its thermal stability, enabling more uniform body shrinkage during interfacial shrinkage, thereby avoiding local deformation or poor arc-shaped shrinkage.

[0038] 2. This invention designs the composition of all three layers of the PETG composite heat shrink film. In addition to PETG resin, the inner core layer also contains PBAT resin, plasticizer, and chain extender to enhance the heat resistance and strength of the film. The upper and lower surface layers contain anti-blocking agents and additives based on PETG resin. The anti-blocking agent enhances the melt flow, mechanical properties, and thermal stability of the film, and also makes the thermal conductivity of the shrink film more uniform, reducing uneven shrinkage caused by local overheating, ultimately making the shrinkage of the composite film more uniform and balanced.

[0039] 3. The anti-blocking agent added to the upper and lower surface films in this invention is modified nano-silica, obtained through surface modification treatment of nano-sized silica. Specifically, the surface of silica is first aminated, and then amidated with tris(2-carboxyethyl) isocyanurate through a DCC / NHS system to obtain a core-shell structure containing amide groups and isocyanurate coated with organic matter. The modified nano-silica, as an anti-blocking agent, has significantly enhanced compatibility with PETG resin, resulting in better performance of PETG film strength, thermal stability, and shrinkage balance.

9. A method for preparing the low-shrinkage PETG composite heat-shrink film according to claim 1, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step 1: Weigh the raw materials for the upper surface layer, lower surface layer and inner core layer respectively, and dry them in an oven at 70-80℃ until constant weight; Step 2: After mixing the raw materials of each layer separately, they are fed into different twin-screw extruders and melt-granulated in a temperature range of 250-290℃ to obtain upper surface masterbatch, lower surface masterbatch and inner core masterbatch respectively. Step 3: The three materials obtained in Step 2 are added to three extruders and then cast into sheets after being compounded by a die. The sheets are first subjected to biaxial stretching and then rapidly cooled and shaped to obtain a low-shrinkage PETG composite heat shrink film.
