TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of shrink film processing, and particularly relates to a label film with strong printing ink adaptability, low haze and low density and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of the packaging industry, label films, as a key component of food, daily necessities and other commodity packaging, are increasingly widely used. Label films are usually used for shrink sleeve labeling, full-seal labeling, bottle cap and bottle cap sealing, etc. Compared with traditional label materials, label films, especially heat-shrinkable label films, have the advantages of good adhesion, high transparency, good gloss, high strength, etc., which can greatly improve the visual effect and shelf appeal of the packaging. At present, the mainstream heat-shrinkable label film materials on the market include polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene terephthalate-1,4-cyclohexane dimethanol (PETG) and oriented polystyrene (OPS). Among them, PVC film has a serious environmental defect that it may produce harmful substances dioxin in the recycling process, and its application is strictly limited and gradually replaced. OPS film has the advantages of high strength, good printing performance and low cost; PETG film is excellent in non-toxicity, high shrinkage rate, mechanical and optical properties. Therefore, the use of OPS and PETG films is rapidly increasing.
[0003] However, the existing OPS and PETG label film technologies still have two significant defects in terms of sustainability and application performance. First, recycling separation is difficult, affecting the circular economy: In the recycling process of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles and other containers, the water flotation method is usually used to separate the bottle body (PET material) from the label film. Ideally, PET bottle pieces (density greater than water) should sink, and label film materials (density should be less than water) should float, thereby achieving effective separation. However, the densities of OPS and PETG materials are both greater than water, causing them to sink to the bottom of the water along with the PET bottle pieces during the flotation process, making separation difficult. If OPS or PETG is mixed into the recycled PET material, it will seriously contaminate the recycled material stream, causing its reprocessing performance to deteriorate and making it unable to be used to manufacture new PET bottles, greatly hindering the closed-loop recycling of plastic packaging. Second, the ink adhesion and film opening performance are not good, affecting the printing quality and processing efficiency: First, the surface properties of existing label film materials need to be optimized, resulting in insufficient ink adhesion and long-term stability on them, affecting the quality and durability of the printed pattern. Second, to prevent the film from sticking together during winding and storage, an opening agent is usually added to the film material. The commonly used inorganic silica opening agent has the following disadvantages: particles are prone to agglomeration, causing defects such as "fish eyes" and scratches on the film surface, and may clog the filter screen of the extruder; at the same time, inorganic particles can significantly increase the haze of the film, damaging its transparency. If no opening agent is added, the film may stick together due to a large coefficient of friction. Therefore, the industry urgently needs an improved solution that can effectively balance the opening performance and optical performance of the film.
[0004] In summary, developing a new type of label film that is easy to recycle and separate (especially from PET bottles), while having excellent ink adhesion and ideal opening performance, has become a technical problem that needs to be solved in the field. In view of this, the present invention is proposed. SUMMARY

[0021] Advantages
[0022] The application provides a label film with strong printing ink adaptability and low haze and low density and a preparation method and application thereof. 3 The label film prepared by the method has a density of less than 0.96 g / cm Specific embodiments
[0023] The application provides a label film with strong printing ink adaptability and low haze and low density and a preparation method and application thereof.
[0024] In the specific embodiments and the following examples, the label film with strong printing ink adaptability and low haze and low density is prepared by the following steps.
[0025] (1) Pretreatment: epoxy resin (E-51) is dissolved in xylene (solid content 60%); monomers (MMA, BA, AA) are excluded from the polymerization inhibitor.
[0026] (2) Grafting reaction: Add epoxy resin solution to the flask, heat to 110°C, and drop "monomer mixture + initiator (BPO)" (5% AA in monomer, providing carboxyl group to react with epoxy group; BPO dosage 1.0%) dropwise for 2-3h.
[0027] (3) Insulation: Continue to react for 2-3h at 100-120°C to make epoxy group of epoxy resin and carboxyl group of AA fully react (ester bond is formed), and monomers are grafted to the epoxy backbone through free radicals.
[0028] (4) Post-processing: After cooling, add triethylamine to neutralize residual carboxyl group (pH adjusted to 7-8), and adjust the solid content of the solvent to 60% to obtain an epoxy resin-acrylic composite modified resin (used as a surface modifier).
[0029] (5) The obtained epoxy resin-acrylic composite modified resin and cycloolefin polymer are blended and granulated using a twin-screw extruder, and a modified cycloolefin polymer is obtained. The epoxy resin-acrylic composite modified resin accounts for 3-8%, and the temperature of the twin-screw extruder is set to 200-250°C.
[0030] (6) The modified cycloolefin polymer obtained in step (5) is added to extruder 1, and the modified polyolefin mixture is added to extruder 2 for melt plasticization. Both extruders 1 and 2 are twin-screw extruders, and their processing temperatures are maintained at 230-260°C.
[0031] (7) The raw materials in step (6) are dispersed through an adapter, combined in a die, and extruded to a chill roll for casting.
[0032] (8) The melt castings in step (7) are subjected to longitudinal and transverse stretching, respectively, and are drawn and wound to obtain a low-density label film with a structure of ABA three layers, usually with a thickness of 20-100μm, and the A layer accounts for 10%-50% of the total layer thickness.
[0033] Further, the components of the cycloolefin polymer in the present application can be COC or COP.
[0034] Further, the attachment method of the castings in the present application can use one or both of calendering or air knife coating.
[0035] Further, the raw materials in extruder 1 in the present application are used in the two A layers of the label film, and the raw materials in extruder 2 are used in the B layer.
[0036] Further, the A layer material in the present application is made of 100% cycloolefin polymer, and no opening agent is added.
[0037] Further, the B layer modified polyolefin component in the present application includes 0-30% cyclic olefin copolymer, 0-80% polypropylene, 0-50% polyethylene and 0-50% polyolefin polymer containing less than 10% butene.
[0038] Further, the strong printing ink adaptability and low haze low density label film in the present application is surface opening modified by special process of the extruder, and by virtue of the special structure of the cyclic olefin, the system automatically increases the speed ratio of the extruder by 0.5 every half an hour during the processing, until 2.0 is added, and then decreases by 0.5 every half an hour, until 2.0 is reduced. The screw shear speed is changed all the time, while the extrusion amount is kept constant, so that the cyclic olefin polymer can generate uniform and stable small crystal points in the extruder, which are distributed on the surface of the film to play the role of opening.
[0039] Further, the scheme in the present application controls the growth speed of the crystal points by keeping the speed of the screw within the range of 100-200 rpm, so that better film properties are obtained.
[0040] Further, the density of the strong printing ink adaptability and low haze low density label film finally prepared in the present application is less than 0.96 g / cm 3 .
[0041] In summary, the strong printing ink adaptability and low haze low density label film is prepared by modifying the surface raw material and improving the process through the modified acrylic resin. The density of the heat shrinkable film is controlled to be less than 0.96 g / cm 3 , so that it can float on the surface of water after being crushed, and the flotation separation is realized due to the density difference between the other components. The separation process is simple and efficient, and is suitable for large-scale recycling procedures. The strong printing ink adaptability and low haze low density label film is prepared after the surface modification by the surface modifier, which can significantly improve the adhesion effect and stability of the ink on the surface, and the ink fastness test method is efficient and accurate. The technical scheme provided by the present application avoids the addition of inorganic opening agent silicon dioxide, reduces the haze of the film, and the surface opening modification component is more uniformly distributed, and the film properties are better.
[0042] The test of the ink adhesion effect in the prior art usually uses a standard width of 3M tape to stick and then peel off, which cannot determine the difference in the ink adhesion effect of the two ways of ink falling. In a more specific embodiment, the ink adhesion effect of the label film is determined by the following method.
[0043] The method for determining the ink adhesion effect of the label film of the present application comprises the following steps:
[0044] (1) Respectively select the concave printing red ink of polyurethane and acrylic system, use the ink scraping stick to evenly spread on the film surface, after the solvent volatilizes completely, respectively select 10cm*10cm small square sample.
[0045] (2) Take 10cm*10cm transparent tape to paste the printed label film full coverage, and then select 5kg / 10cm*10cm sample to press for 5min.
[0046] (3) Take three pieces of each sample, and carry out tensile testing machine stretching (the upper clamp of the tensile testing machine clamps the adhesive tape, and the lower clamp clamps the printed ink label), until the adhesive tape and the film are completely separated.
[0047] (4) Place the label on the coordinate paper to count the ink dropping area, and then calculate the average value.
[0048] (5) Count and calculate the ink dropping ratio, and the calculation formula is: ink dropping ratio=ink dropping area / 100.
[0049] Determination shows that the ink dropping ratio of the label film is less than 10%, and the ink adhesion effect of the label film is good.
[0050] The crystal point generation and distribution of the conventional label film in the production process are generally not controlled. The processing technology provided by the application makes the cycloolefin polymer itself generate crystal points, and the crystal points are uniformly distributed on the film surface, which can replace the generation of the traditional opening master batch. In a more specific embodiment, the application adopts the following method to test the uniformity of the distribution of the crystal points.
[0051] The method for testing the uniformity of the distribution of the crystal points comprises the following steps:
[0052] (1) Select a 0.001*0.001m sample film every 1-5m, and a total of 9 pieces.
[0053] (2) Measure the size of the marked particles and count the number under the electron microscope, and the crystal points include multiple crystal points with the size less than 0.3um, 0.3≤crystal point size≥0.5, 0.5<crystal point size≥1, 1<crystal point size≥2 and crystal point size>2um.
[0054] (3) Make the percentage of the particle size and the number of particles.
[0055] Determination shows that for the label film provided by the application, the number of crystal points with a specific size (0.5<crystal point size≥1) / total number of crystal points on the film surface>60%, and the uniformity of the distribution of the crystal points of the label film is good.
