Description

Description Title of the invention: MULTILAYER MATERIAL THAT CAN BE USED AS PACKAGING, COMPRISING A LAYER OF CELLULOSIC MATERIAL AND A LAYER OF MATERIAL COMPRISING AT LEAST ONE CASEIN AND / OR AT LEAST ONE CASEINATE technical field

[0001] — This disclosure falls within the domain of multilayer materials that can be used as packaging. In particular, this disclosure relates to a material multilayer comprising a layer of cellulosic material A and a layer of material B comprising at least one casein and / or at least one caseinate. Technological background

[0002] The depletion of non-renewable resources, such as oil, and The increase in pollution linked to these resources leads to the development of alternative solutions that are less polluting and more environmentally friendly. In particular, with regard to packaging, the European Commission wishes that 100% of packaging be reusable, mechanically recyclable or com- postable by 2030 (Action Plan for the Circular Economy - 2020).

[0003] = In the food sector, the use of packaging made from cellulose materials po- potentially recyclable materials, such as paper or cardboard packaging, are developing. However, there are still major obstacles to the recyclability of this packaging. Furthermore, the use of recycled paper in these packages can also pose consumer safety issues.

[0004] — Indeed, single-use packaging for takeaway food and catering fast-acting ones always have a layer of plastic as a grease barrier, usually in polyamide (PA) or perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), for the convenience of consumers. This represents 65k tonnes discarded in Europe each year (by 2025) millions of individual packages produced).

[0005] — Furthermore, 17% of paper packaging is coated with a layer of plastic, to provide a barrier to gases, greases or water (in PE, PP, PET, PVDC, EVOH, or PVOH) to show the food inside, or to allow the sub- dability (sealing of the packaging).

[0006] Furthermore, recycled paper cannot be used in direct contact with food, due to the migration of mineral oils from the inks used in the Previous paper, for example in newspapers. A layer of plastic must It is now being used as a barrier for consumer safety. This prevents the widespread use of recycled paper in food packaging. When these packages are sorted, the removal of the plastic layer from the paper in recycling centers is a real problem which at best results in the loss of 10 to 20% of the paper fibers and at worst in the pollution of the batches of fibers by plastics which must then be burned or buried. It is therefore necessary to develop packaging that can counteract these disadvantages. In this context, the present invention aims to satisfy at least one of the following objectives. One of the objectives of the present invention is the provision of a recyclable material that can be used as packaging. One of the objectives of the present invention is the provision of a bio-based recyclable material that can be used as packaging. One of the objectives of the present invention is the provision of a recyclable material that can be used as packaging in the food sector. One of the objectives of the present invention is the provision of a biodegradable material that can be used as packaging. Another objective of the present invention is the provision of a material based on cellulosic materials, having improved barrier properties. One of the objectives of the present invention is the provision of a recyclable material that can be easily produced. Summary This disclosure relates to a multilayer material comprising: 1) At least one layer of cellulosic material A, and ii) At least one layer of material B comprising: a. At least one casein and / or at least one caseinate; b. Water, and € At least one plasticizer other than b). This disclosure also relates to a multilayered material obtained: - either by coating a layer of cellulosic material A with a solution S comprising: a. At least one casein and / or at least one caseinate; b. Water, and € At least one plasticizer other than b); - either by assembling a layer of cellulosic material A and a layer of material B comprising: a. At least one casein and / or at least one caseinate; b. Water, and c. At least one plasticizer other than b), possibly by means of a binder, the assembly being preferably carried out by lamination or bonding. This disclosure also relates to packaging comprising a multi-layered material. This disclosure also relates to a product packaged in packaging comprising a multi-layered material. This disclosure also relates to a process for manufacturing a multilayer material, said process being carried out - either by coating a layer of cellulosic material A with a solution comprising: a At least one casein and / or at least one caseinate; b. Water, and c. At least one plasticizer different from b); - either by assembling a layer of cellulosic material A and a layer of material B comprising: a At least one casein and / or at least one caseinate; b. Water, and c. At least one plasticizer other than b), possibly using a binder, the assembly preferably being carried out by lamination or bonding The inventors discovered that such a multilayer material could be used as packaging. This multilayer material can be recycled in recycling centers without any modification to the lines or processes because the B material layer is water-soluble. Recycling centers will be able to recover nearly 100% of the cellulosic material fibers through simple mechanical filtration. The residues of the B material resulting from its solubilization will be biodegraded in the existing water treatment infrastructure at the recycling plants. Furthermore, the presence of a layer of material B improves the barrier properties of the multilayer material, particularly the barrier properties against fats and oxygen, making it suitable for use in the field of food packaging. Furthermore, material B is food-safe, 100% renewable, compostable, and biodegradable in marine environments, unlike most polymers used in packaging. Casein is an existing, documented ingredient in the food industry and is easily industrialized. Therefore, the multilayer material can be produced readily. Detailed description Unless otherwise stated, throughout this document, % are expressed as % by weight. By "packaging" we mean an object intended to contain and protect goods, to allow their handling and transport from the producer to the consumer or user, and to ensure their presentation, preservation, protection and / or use. The term “cellulosic material” refers, for example, to a material that can be derived from cellulose pulp. This cellulose pulp can be produced by chemical and / or mechanical processing, which is well known to those skilled in the art. This cellulose pulp can be derived from any suitable source such as wood, recycled wood, annual plants, agricultural residues (bagasse, straw, etc.), grasses (e.g., sugarcane, bamboo), or cardboard. By "thermoplastic" we mean, for example, a material which becomes malleable and foldable above a given temperature, the glass transition temperature Tg, but which below this Tg becomes hard again, these transformations being reversible. The term "biodegradable" refers, for example, to a material that can be broken down by microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, algae, etc.). The result of this decomposition is the formation of water, CO₂, and / or methane, and possibly byproducts (residues, new biomass) that are not toxic to the environment. This could be, for example, a material that is biodegradable according to the European standard EN NF 13432 and / or the French standard NF T 51-800. By "between x and y", we mean, for example, that the bounds x and y are included in the interval [x, y]. By "water-soluble," we mean, for example, something that dissolves in water. The water solubility of a material can be measured as follows: a piece of film (5 cm x 5 cm, cut with a punch) is attached to a slide holder and then immersed in a 1000 ml beaker containing 600 ml of distilled water at 20°C, while being stirred with a magnetic stir bar at 300 rpm. The time it takes for the film to break through is measured. The film's disintegration results in the formation of film particles. The test lasts 10 minutes, after which the particles are passed through a 0.5 mm sieve to check their size. When no particles are found on the sieve, the film is considered water-soluble. By "plasticizer" we mean, for example, a substance that lowers the glass transition temperature Tg of the material. By "hydrophobic," we mean, for example, a compound having little affinity with water and tending not to dissolve in it. Typically, it is a predominantly nonpolar compound. The term "hydrophilic" refers, for example, to a compound that has an affinity for water and tends to dissolve in it. Typically, this is a compound with polar groups capable of forming hydrogen bonds. By "surfactant", we mean, for example, an amphiphilic molecule, that is to say, a molecule possessing both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. The term "HLB" refers, for example, to the hydrophilic-lipophilic balance. The HLB value can be calculated using the following method: HLB = 20 x (Molar mass of the hydrophobic portion) / (Molar mass of the molecule). By "fatty acid" we mean, for example, an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid. By "bio-based", we mean, for example, a product made from materials of biological origin. The term "binder" refers, for example, to an agent that creates a bonding layer between the cellulosic material layer A and the material layer B. The binder used in the present invention may be a binder commonly used in the manufacture of multilayer materials, and in particular, multilayer films. Examples of such binders include hot-melt adhesives.

This assembly can be carried out using a calender. EXAMPLES In the examples below, two types of cellulosic materials (papers) were coated with a sodium caseinate and glycerol solution, prepared from thermoplastic granules, to create a multilayer material according to the invention. Unless otherwise stated, throughout this document, percentages are expressed as weight percentages. The cellulosic materials used are as follows: - Algro Sol PCC 90g / m² paper from Sappi, Kraft paper coated with kaolin on one side, 21*35cm format, coating on the glossy side. - Terrana 85g / m2 paper from Gascogne Papier, natural kraft paper, rubbed on one side, coated on the rubbed side, Size 21*35cm The thermoplastic granules used for coating were prepared by extrusion from sodium caseinate. The extruder used was a Clextral® BC 21 twin-screw co-rotating extruder, with a diameter of 25 mm, a center distance of 21 mm, and a length of 900 mm. This extruder has at least 4 zones: an initial introductory zone, a second introductory zone, a third degassing zone, and a fourth sector zone, The rotation speed of the twin screws is between 175 and 320 rpm and the temperatures of the different zones are between 30 and 120°C. The first zone of the extruder is a powder introduction zone: caseinate and lecithin. Liquids are introduced into the second zone. The extruder also includes an open-air degassing zone and a final zone consisting of a cylindrical rod die with a diameter of 4 mm. The screw profile is as follows: 750 mm of direct pitch screw, 50 mm of mixing screw, 100 mm of reverse pitch screw. After exiting the extruder, the rush is dried and fed into a granulator to produce granules 2 to 3 mm in diameter. The final composition of the granules is the next: 63% sodium caseinate, 23.5% glycerol, 10% water, 2.3% soy lecithin, and 1.1% oleic acid. Coating of papers Dissolving the thermoplastic granules in water under agitation, to obtain a solution of 11%, 18% or 19% dry matter. The papers were coated with the solution using laboratory coating equipment, an Elcometer which allows the translation of a threaded rod to spread and apply the solution to the surface of the paper. Two coating passes were made on the same side of each paper to obtain a coating weight of 9 or 14 g / m². The results are presented in Table 1. [Table 1] Total Coating Weight | Substrate %MS Solution 9 g / m² Gascogne 11% 14 g / m² Gascogne 19% 9 g / m² Sappi 18% 14 g / m² Sappi 18% The coated paper sheets are then oven-dried at 55°C and then under a dermi-lune dryer at 80°C. They are then placed under a heavy metal plate. Characterization of the coated papers obtained Physical properties Weight and thickness The characterization of uncoated and coated backing papers was carried out under standardized conditions at 23°C and 50% RH (NF EN 20 187, 1993). Basis weight was measured according to the method described in standard NF EN ISO 536, 2012, and thickness according to the method described in standard NF EN ISO 534, 2011. The results obtained are consistent with the expected values ​​and correspond to the different coatings applied to the two papers. Adhesion Testing Method FINAT Good adhesion between the material layer B, containing sodium caseinate, and the paper layer A, made of cellulose material, is required. The adhesion of the coated layer to the paper was tested according to the Finat 1 method: To perform the test under optimal conditions, a primer must be applied to the samples, either manually or with tape, to separate the coating from the substrate and thus allow the layer to be peeled off. However, it was not possible to create this primer because the adhesion between the coated layer and the paper substrate was too strong. Adhesion was then tested using the Finat 3 method: In this method, the coated substrate is adhered to a board using tape. The test specimens prepared in this way are made according to the Finat 3 method, namely: the board / tape / coated paper assembly is held for 20 hours at 23°C under a pressure of 6.86 kPa (70 g / m²). As in the Finat 1 method, no delamination between the coated layer and the paper substrate was observed. In fact, the delamination occurred at the tape joint. These tests show that the surface coating adheres very well to the paper substrate, to the point that it is not possible to measure the peel strength. The adhesion of the coated layer to the various substrates is very good, regardless of the coating weight applied (9 or 14 g / m²). Barrier properties Barri isses: Cobb index method in oil The Cobb index measurement is performed on a 25 cm² area, and the duration is set here at 60 seconds. ISIO 4 oil colored with Sudan III red is used, which allows for the visualization of any defects. A method derived from the SCAN-P 37 standard is employed. The Cobb index measurement determines the amount of oil that the surface of paper or cardboard can absorb during a specific time, in this case, 60 seconds. The lowest possible Cobb index is desired. Measurements were taken on 5 different samples. The mean and standard deviation were then calculated. Measurements were taken at 23°C / 50% RH after the samples had been incubated under these conditions for at least 12 hours. The results are presented in Table 2.

Oxygen barrier: Characterization OTR measurement at 23°C - 50% RH according to ASTM F1927 Oxygen levels were measured using a Presens instrument according to ASTM F1927. Measurements were taken at the temperature and humidity of the conditioned room, 23°C / 50% RH. Measurements were duplicated on four different samples. The results are presented in Table 3.

Recyclability of multilayer materials according to the invention The recyclability of the multilayer materials according to the invention has been determined. The recyclability of packaging is assessed in accordance with Directive 2018 / 852 / EU of 30 May 2018 (amending Directive 94 / 62 / EC). The recyclability of packaging comes down to verifying two criteria so that it can be recovered in the paper recycling industry: - the packaging must have a paperboard-based structure comprising at least 50% by weight of paperboard material, and - The packaging must be designed with materials or combinations of materials that are compatible with known, relevant, and industrially available recycling technologies. It must not negatively affect recycling processes. All multilayer materials prepared according to the invention contain at least 50% by weight of paper / cardboard material. The first condition is therefore met. A recycling test was then carried out with the multilayer materials prepared according to the invention in order to evaluate the impact of the presence of the material layer B comprising sodium caseinate. The different steps carried out are presented below. 4 ion (ISO 5263-1* standard) The pulping operation consists of separating the cellulosic fibers to make the fibrous suspension pumpable for classification using a laboratory pulper. For the purposes of the test, and more specifically for resuspension, we manually tore the 60g sample into pieces of approximately 3 x 3 cm to make it compatible with the dimensions of the laboratory pulper. The prepared raw material is then resuspended under the following conditions: - Temperature*: 40 °C - Concentration: 3% (by weight) - Duration: 15 min - Condition: neutral These conditions are representative of the conditions applied industrially (* exception: temperature of 40°C to simulate water temperatures in industrial recycling processes) OL ion di ion fil dési j After 15 minutes of disintegration, the disintegrated raw material (called a paste or fibrous suspension) is visually observed to check two points: - The individualization of fibers indicates good defibration, and therefore sufficient pulping time. The 15 minutes can be extended if necessary. - The color of the pulping water to check whether or not the packaging has disgorged (color, ink and / or varnish). sp- Classification or elimination of non-fibrous unwanted materials (TAPPI-ANSI T275 18 standard): The paste resulting from the disintegration of the sample to be tested is then collected and sorted using two cascaded Somerville laboratory sorting machines. The first machine is equipped with a 15 / 100 mm slotted sieve, and the second with a 10 / 100 mm sieve. The acceptable paste passes through the slots of the sorters, while undesirable elements (such as pieces of plastic) remain on the surface of the sorting sieve. The first sorter retains large contaminants, and the second retains any residual contaminants. appearance At the exit of the pulping and 10 / 100 mm classification stages, laboratory sheets (called formettes) are produced according to the Rapid-Käthen method (ISO 5269-2: 2004 Standard Pastes — Preparation of laboratory sheets) The results obtained are presented in Table 4 below.

These results show that the multilayer materials according to the invention meet the various recyclability criteria of packaging as defined in Directive 2018 / 852 / EU of 30 May 2018. The presence of layer B of material comprising sodium caseinate and glycerol, on a layer A of cellulosic material does not affect the recyclability of this cellulosic material.
