Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of food packaging, in particular to an easy-to-peel cover film, in particular to an easy-to-peel cover film suitable for canned powdered food, and a preparation method of the cover film. Background Art

[0002] Food packaging made of sheet metal, categorized by material, includes iron cans and aluminum cans. Due to its extremely low water and oxygen permeability, this type of packaging completely blocks the penetration of moisture and oxygen, maintaining low humidity and oxygen levels within the package. Furthermore, metal packaging can withstand significant pressure, making it particularly suitable for transporting and protecting the food inside. It is commonly used in canned foods, beverages, milk powder, protein powder, coffee, and other packaging, ensuring maximum quality and safety of the contents while significantly extending their shelf life.

[0003] Metal packaging, depending on how the lid is opened, includes sterile caps (Sanitary End), easy-open caps (Easy-Open End), and peel-off caps (Peel-Off End). As sterile caps lack pull rings, they must be cut from the can body with a sharp tool. Easy-open caps, on the other hand, have a separation line pre-set between the lid and the can body during stamping, allowing the lid to be removed by pulling the pull ring. While both types of lids are still in use, the former is difficult to open, while the latter's separation line can easily scratch users. Therefore, the market is more inclined towards easy-open caps with a pre-set opening and a tight fit.

[0004] Traditional easy-tear lids typically include a protective coating, an aluminum foil layer, and a heat-seal coating (HSL) layer stacked in sequence. When used for canned powdered foods, these easy-tear lids are subject to the risk of heat-seal coating powder shedding and coating leaks. Powder shedding can easily leave coating material on the inside of the easy-tear lid, while coating leaks can cause the easy-tear lid to leak, both of which can easily lead to food safety issues.

[0005] The utility model patent with announcement number CN207207324U provides a transparent easy-tear sealing film. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art. In a first aspect, a canned powder food packaging easy-to-open cover film is provided, which has safe and reliable heat-sealing performance, is completely combined with the canned powder food, and is easy to open.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution provided by the present invention is as follows: a canned food packaging easy-to-peel cover film, comprising a printing layer, a barrier layer and a heat-sealing layer made of a polyolefin film stacked in sequence, the three-layer structure being connected as one, and the total thickness of the easy-to-peel cover film being less than 150 μm.

[0008] Compared with the existing technology, the above technical features are designed with functional zoning of a three-layer structure. The printing layer can be used as a film material for printing on the surface, and can also serve as surface protection for the barrier layer. The heat-sealing layer replaces the risk of powder loss in traditional coatings, reducing the hidden dangers of food contamination. The form of the composite film relies on its mature process and has no risk of composite omissions, thereby avoiding the problem of leaking when the easy-to-peel cover film is used to seal the metal can through heat sealing.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the printing layer is at least one of polyethylene terephthalate film, polypropylene film, and polyethylene film, with a thickness of 8-30 μm. The printing layer is made of a film with high mechanical strength and print resistance, balancing the requirements of surface printing with the barrier layer's protective function. The thickness is selected to balance mechanical strength with the overall lightweight requirements of the cover film.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the barrier layer is at least one of aluminum foil, aluminum oxide coating, silicon oxide coating, and liquid crystal polymer film, with a thickness of 60-100 μm. The high-barrier material prevents water and oxygen penetration, extending the shelf life of the powdered food. The thickness of the barrier layer ensures a balance between barrier performance and mechanical strength.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the polyolefin film is at least one of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), cast polypropylene (PP), metallocene polypropylene (MP), and ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer (EAC). The heat-seal layer has a thickness of 18-50 μm. The polyolefin material used in the heat-seal layer achieves controllable heat-seal strength, ensuring a balance between ease of opening and sealing. The thickness of the heat-seal layer ensures both flexibility and prevents breakage or residue when the lid is opened.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the barrier layer contains at least one layer of liquid crystal polymer film, and the heat sealing layer contains at least one layer of cast polypropylene film. The thickness ratio of the liquid crystal polymer film to the cast polypropylene film is (1-4):1.

[0013] Liquid crystal polymer (LCP) film refers to a high-performance polymer with a highly oriented molecular chain structure. It is formed into a film through melt extrusion and has high barrier properties, high temperature resistance, and excellent dimensional stability. Cast polypropylene film refers to a polypropylene film made through a melt casting process, which has high transparency, excellent heat sealing properties, and flexibility. The barrier layer contains at least one layer of LCP film, and the heat sealing layer contains at least one layer of CPP film. The thickness ratio of the two ranges from 1:1 to 4:1. The low thermal expansion coefficient of LCP (CTE≈10 ppm / ℃) and the higher thermal expansion coefficient of CPP (CTE≈100 ppm / ℃) differ by nearly ten times. The present invention compensates for the difference in thermal deformation by adjusting the thickness, reducing the risk of delamination. At the same time, LCP has a high elastic modulus and is combined with the high-ductility CPP to form a "rigid-flexible composite structure" to avoid brittle fracture when the lid is opened.

[0014] As an explanation, the glass transition temperature of LCP is usually between 120-150°C, and its surface will soften slightly at conventional heat sealing temperatures. The melting temperature of CPP is between 130-180°C. After melting, it has high fluidity and can easily form a tight fit with the surface of the metal can. When the two are bonded to each other, the molten CPP will penetrate the microporous structure of the softened LCP surface, forming a mechanical interlock after cooling. The softened LCP surface molecular chains are partially entangled with the molten CPP molecules, and the interfacial bonding between the two cans can be enhanced. Control the CPP melting depth and the thickness of the LCP softened layer to prevent thermal degradation of the LCP.

[0015] To illustrate, LCPs are mostly composed of rigid, rod-shaped aromatic monomers that form a highly oriented backbone structure through polycondensation. The backbone rigid monomers are preferably p-hydroxybenzoic acid (PHB), while the flexible spacer monomers are preferably terephthalic acid (TA) and isophthalic acid (IPA). They may also contain copolymerized modifying monomers such as 4,4'-biphenyldicarboxylic acid (HNA).

[0016] For illustration, LCP raw materials, by weight, include 50-70% PHB, 20-40% TA, and 30-50% HNA. Preparation methods include, but are not limited to, using a twin-screw extruder at a feed stage of 280-300°C, a melt stage of 320-340°C, and a homogenization stage of 340-360°C to form a cast film or blown film into a barrier layer.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution, the thickness ratio of liquid crystal polymer film to cast polypropylene film is 2:1. During heat sealing, the heat transfer from molten CPP to LCP is more uniform, reducing local LCP temperature melting.

[0018] As an explanation, the easy-peel mechanism of the easy-peel film is that the heat-sealing layer itself is destroyed and peeled off, with part of the heat-sealing layer remaining on the surface of the barrier layer and the other part remaining on the heat-sealed substrate (metal can). The peeled area will turn white, and when peeling, the heat-sealing layer itself will produce interfacial damage and internal peeling of the film will occur.

[0019] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing an easy-to-peel cover film for canned food packaging having at least one of the above technical features, comprising the following steps: S1, performing dry lamination or solvent-free lamination on the printing layer and the barrier layer to integrally connect the two to form a primary product; S2, ripening the primary product; S3, dry-compounding or solvent-free-compounding the primary product with the heat-sealing layer to integrally connect the two to form a finished film; S4, aging the finished film.

[0020] To explain, the purpose of the dry / solventless lamination process combined with step-by-step aging is to reduce solvent residue and enhance interlayer bonding. Dry lamination is a traditional lamination process that uses an adhesive containing an organic solvent. This adhesive is evenly applied to the adhesive-carrying base film using an anilox roller coating method, dried in an oven, and pressed together in the lamination section to form a composite film. The adhesive used in dry lamination is typically solvent-based. Solventless lamination uses an adhesive that does not contain organic solvents. This adhesive is applied via multi-roll transfer coating, resulting in a thin and uniform adhesive layer. The coating amount is primarily determined by the speed of each roller and can be adjusted continuously online. The adhesive used in solvent-free lamination is typically a two-component reactive adhesive. Both lamination processes typically use polyurethane as the primary component, supplemented by a curing agent. The solvent-based adhesive used in dry lamination often uses organic solvents such as ethyl acetate.

[0021] As a preferred embodiment, dry lamination or solvent-free lamination is carried out on a corresponding laminating machine. In S1, the printing layer is placed in the first unwinding unit and the barrier layer is placed in the second unwinding unit, and the corresponding unwinding tension and laminating pressure are set for lamination; in S3, the primary product is placed in the first unwinding unit and the heat sealing layer is placed in the second unwinding unit, and the corresponding unwinding tension and laminating pressure are set for lamination.

[0022] As an explanation, step S1 combines the printing layer and the barrier layer into a primary product through a dry lamination or solvent-free lamination process. Dry lamination uses a solvent-based adhesive with a coating weight of 3.0-4.5 g / m 2 After the solvent is dried in three drying tunnels, the lamination is carried out under a pressure of 0.3-0.5 MPa. The winding tension is controlled to be 45-55 N for the printing layer and 50-60 N for the barrier layer. For solvent-free lamination, 100% solid content adhesive is used, and the coating amount is 1.4-2.0 g / m 2, directly through 0.4-0.6 MPa pressure compounding, no need for drying tunnel.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment, the adhesive used in the dry composite process is a two-component polyurethane adhesive, the mass ratio of the main agent to the curing agent is (8-10):1, the solid content after mixing is 25-33%, and the viscosity range is 300-800 mPa·s (25°C); the adhesive used in the solvent-free composite process is a polyurethane adhesive, especially an aliphatic polyurethane adhesive, and the glass transition temperature of the aliphatic polyurethane adhesive is -50°C to 80°C; the adhesive coating process parameters include: the dry composite coating roller line count is 120-180 lines / foot; the solvent-free composite coating roller temperature is 50-70°C, the coating roller pressure is 0.2-0.4MPa, the coating speed is 120-200m / min, and the ambient humidity of the solvent-free composite is controlled below 60%RH.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the aging process is typically carried out in an aging chamber. The aging parameters are a temperature of 40-60°C, a humidity of 50-80% RH, and an aging time of ≥ 24 hours, preferably ≥ 48 hours. When the barrier layer comprises a liquid crystal polymer film, the difference between the two aging times is ≤ 4 hours.

[0025] A powder food packaging having a packaging cover material made of an easy-to-peel cover film according to at least one of the above technical features.

[0026] The advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention are: the structure of integrated composite connection of the printing layer, the barrier layer and the heat-sealing layer solves the risk of powder loss and coating leakage when the coating type easy-to-open lid is connected by the coating, and the heat sealing is used to connect it to the metal can body packaging, which greatly reduces the risk of leakage. As a cover film, the connection between the metal can body and it can be made without sharp edges through processes such as flanging and chamfering, which reduces the risk of scratching the user when taking out the contents of the metal can, and is more labor-saving when opening than the easy-to-open lid with a pull ring structure. When dry lamination is used, the amount of residual solvent between the layers is low, which meets the needs of food safety. Compared with cover films with structures such as epoxy resin and coating, this type of cover film has no bad appearance such as brushing or fuzzing on the base material after being opened. The same easy-to-open force value can be achieved at different heat sealing temperatures of 130℃-180℃. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
