AI Technical Summary
During the recycling process of existing food packaging films, the printed layer and the inner layer form a strong bond due to physical or chemical bonding. Mechanical peeling cannot guarantee the integrity of the material, resulting in low recycling rate and high cost.
A water-soluble release coating is used to connect the printing layer and the substrate layer. The layers are then quickly separated by immersion in an alkaline solution, forming an environmentally friendly and separable composite packaging film structure, which includes a protective layer, a printing layer, a water-soluble release coating, a substrate layer, and a cold-sealing adhesive layer.
It enables rapid separation of the printed layer from the substrate layer, improves the recycling rate, reduces production costs, and ensures the integrity and environmental friendliness of the materials.

Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the food packaging technical field, concretely relates to a kind of environment-friendly separable composite packaging film. BACKGROUND
[0002] Food packaging film plays a role in blocking food and external environment during the transportation and storage of food, reduces the influence of physical damage or chemical pollution on food, and maintains the freshness and quality of food. Common food packaging film is a multi-layer structure, mainly including a printing layer and an inner layer arranged in turn from the outside to the inside. The printing layer is attached to the surface of the inner layer by printing, and the printing layer is solidified to form patterns or marks. The inner layer has certain low adsorption and anti-permeation properties to ensure the quality and safety of food.
[0003] At present, the market demand for recyclable environment-friendly food packaging film is growing. By peeling off the multi-layer structure of the food packaging film, the food packaging film can be classified and recycled, which helps to reduce the pollution of discarded food packaging film to the environment and plays a role in saving resources and promoting sustainable development.
[0004] However, the printing layer is usually directly compounded with the inner layer. The printing layer and the inner layer are strongly bonded due to physical or chemical bonding. During the recycling process of the food packaging film, it is difficult to ensure the integrity of the material by mechanical peeling, and the base layer is easily broken due to stretching under external force during the peeling process. SUMMARY
[0005] To solve the problems of the prior art, the utility model provides an environment-friendly separable composite packaging film. The printing layer and the base layer are separated by a water-soluble release coating during recycling. It has the characteristics of environmental safety, high recycling rate and low production cost, and improves the material integrity of the composite packaging film after separation and recycling.
[0006] The technical effects achieved by the utility model are realized by the following technical aspects:
[0007] The utility model provides an environment-friendly separable composite packaging film, which includes a protective layer, a printing layer, a water-soluble release coating, a base layer and a cold seal adhesive layer arranged in turn from the outside to the inside. The dry film thickness of the water-soluble release coating after solidification is 0.5-1.2 μm.
[0008] In some implementations, the water-soluble release coating is made of a mixture of polyvinyl alcohol and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose.
[0009] In some implementations, the water-soluble release coating has a peel strength of ≤0.5 N / 15 mm with the printing layer in an alkaline solution.
[0010] In some implementations, the protective layer is an aqueous polyurethane-acrylate copolymer layer reverse gravure coated on the printing layer.
[0011] In some implementations, the aqueous polyurethane-acrylate copolymer layer has a thickness of 0.8-1.2 μm.
[0012] In some implementations, the substrate layer is one of synthetic paper, MOPP film, aluminized paper or kraft paper.
[0013] In some implementations, the substrate layer has a thickness of 28-120 μm.
[0014] In some implementations, the cold seal adhesive layer is a styrene-isoprene-styrene-based hot melt adhesive layer.
[0015] In some implementations, the cold seal adhesive layer has a thickness of 2.5-4.0 μm.
[0016] In some implementations, the printing layer is a gravure ink layer.
[0017] In summary, the present application has at least the following advantages:
[0018] The environmental protection type separable composite packaging film provided by the present application has the water-soluble release coating layer coated on the surface of the substrate layer, the printing layer forms a printing pattern on the surface of the water-soluble release coating layer, the protective layer is coated on the printing layer, the cold seal adhesive layer is coated on the other side of the substrate layer away from the water-soluble release coating layer, and the composite packaging film forms a composite structure. When recycled, the water-soluble release coating layer is dissolved, and the printing layer can be quickly separated from the substrate layer, which is beneficial to improve the problem that the traditional food packaging film is difficult to ensure the integrity of the material through mechanical peeling and that there is a large amount of residual printing layer after peeling, so that a separable composite packaging film is obtained, and the recycling rate of the food packaging film is improved.
