[0006] [Patent Document 1] JP 2008-73926 A [Patent Document 2] JP 2004-82499 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] In recent years, from the viewpoint of environmental issues, there has been a demand for mono-material packaging materials. However, conventional biaxially oriented polypropylene films often lacked sufficient thermal dimensional stability in terms of preventing thermal wrinkles in the sealed areas during bag making and preventing thermal elongation during vapor deposition and coating processes. Furthermore, when a homopolypropylene having high crystallinity is used to improve the heat resistance of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film, the antistatic properties are sometimes insufficient. That is, conventional biaxially oriented polypropylene films are required to have a further improved balance of thermal dimensional stability and antistatic properties.

[0012] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a biaxially oriented polypropylene film having an improved balance of thermal dimensional stability and antistatic properties. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0013] [Figure 1] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic example of the structure of a biaxially oriented polypropylene film according to the present embodiment. [Diagram 2] FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic example of the structure of a biaxially oriented polypropylene film according to the present embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0014] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the drawings are schematic diagrams and do not correspond to the actual dimensional ratio. Note that "~" between numbers in the text indicates "above" to "below" unless otherwise specified.

[0015] <Biaxially oriented polypropylene film> 1 and 2 are cross-sectional views that diagrammatically show an example of the structure of a biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 according to the present embodiment. The biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 of this embodiment comprises a biaxially oriented film layer 101 containing homopolypropylene (A), at least one polymer (B) selected from the group consisting of random polypropylene (B1) and α-olefin copolymer (B2), and an antistatic agent (C), and a surface resin layer 103 located on at least one side of the biaxially oriented film layer 101 and containing homopolypropylene (A).

[0016] As described above, further improvement in the thermal dimensional stability of biaxially oriented polypropylene films is required from the viewpoints of suppressing thermal wrinkles in the sealed portions during bag making and suppressing thermal elongation during vapor deposition and coating processes. On the other hand, when a homopolypropylene having high crystallinity is used from the viewpoint of improving the thermal dimensional stability and heat resistance of a biaxially oriented polypropylene film, the yield stress during molding increases due to the high crystallinity, and the stretching point is not stable, so the effect of improving the thermal dimensional stability is not sufficiently obtained. Also, when a homopolypropylene having high crystallinity is used to improve the heat resistance of a biaxially oriented polypropylene film, the antistatic property may not be sufficient. Here, according to the investigations of the present inventors, it was found that by adopting a layer structure comprising a biaxially oriented film layer 101 containing homopolypropylene (A), at least one polymer (B) selected from the group consisting of random polypropylene (B1) and α-olefin copolymer (B2), and an antistatic agent (C), and a surface resin layer 103 located on at least one side of the biaxially oriented film layer 101 and containing homopolypropylene (A), the residual stress of the film can be efficiently relaxed, thereby improving the thermal dimensional stability of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film and further improving the antistatic properties, which led to the present invention. That is, according to the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 of the present embodiment, the performance balance between thermal dimensional stability and antistatic property can be improved. In addition, since the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 of this embodiment has improved thermal dimensional stability, it is possible to suppress thermal wrinkles in the sealed portions during bag production, thereby improving bag production properties.

[0017] In the biaxially stretched polypropylene film 100, the surface resistivity logΩ on the surface resin layer 103 side is preferably less than 14.0, more preferably less than 13.5, and even more preferably less than 13.0, from the viewpoint of further improving the performance balance of thermal dimensional stability, antistatic properties, and printing properties. The lower limit of the surface resistivity logΩ is not particularly limited, and is, for example, 5.0 or more, may be 8.0 or more, 10.0 or more, or may be 12.0 or more. The surface resistivity log Ω on the surface resin layer 103 side can be measured in accordance with JIS C2139:2018 by the method described in the Examples.

[0018] In the biaxially stretched polypropylene film 100, the surface resistivity on the surface resin layer 103 side is preferably 1.0×10 14 Less than Ω, more preferably 5.0×10 13 less than Ω, more preferably 3.0×10 13 less than Ω, more preferably 1.0×1013 The lower limit of the surface resistivity is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 1.0×10 5 Ω or more, 1.0×10 8 Ω or more, up to 1.0×10 10 Ω or more, up to 1.0×10 11 Ω or more, up to 1.0×10 12 It may be Ω or more. The surface resistivity on the surface resin layer 103 side can be measured in accordance with JIS C2139:2018 by the method described in the Examples.

[0019] The surface resistivity of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 can be adjusted, for example, by adjusting the types and content ratios of the homopolypropylene (A), polymer (B) and antistatic agent (C) contained in the biaxially oriented film layer 101, the thickness and stretching ratio of the biaxially oriented film layer 101, the constituent materials and thickness of the surface resin layer 103, etc.

[0020] The sum (T1+T2) of the tensile modulus T1 in the MD direction and the tensile modulus T2 in the TD direction of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100, measured in accordance with JIS K7127 (1999) using a tensile tester under conditions of a measurement temperature of 23±2°C, 50±5% RH, and a tensile speed of 5 mm / min, is preferably 2000 MPa or more, more preferably 2500 MPa or more, more preferably 2800 MPa or more, even more preferably 3000 MPa or more, and is preferably 10000 MPa or less, more preferably 8000 MPa or less, even more preferably 7000 MPa or less, even more preferably 6500 MPa or less, even more preferably 6300 MPa or less. When the sum (T1+T2) of the tensile modulus T1 in the MD direction and the tensile modulus T2 in the TD direction is equal to or greater than the lower limit, the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 can have a better balance of performance such as thermal dimensional stability, formability, water vapor barrier properties, mechanical properties, transparency, bag formability, and handleability. Furthermore, the stiffness of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 can be improved, which in turn can prevent the film from shifting position during heat sealing, thereby preventing the occurrence of defective sealing. In other words, when the sum (T1+T2) of the tensile modulus in the MD direction T1 and the tensile modulus in the TD direction T2 is equal to or greater than the above-mentioned lower limit, the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 can have a better balance of thermal dimensional stability, formability, water vapor barrier properties, mechanical properties, transparency, bag formability, handleability, and packaging suitability. In addition, when the sum (T1+T2) of the tensile modulus T1 in the MD direction and the tensile modulus T2 in the TD direction is equal to or less than the upper limit, problems such as breakage are unlikely to occur during molding of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100, continuous stretch molding of the film becomes easy, and industrial continuous productivity can be further improved. Furthermore, when the sum (T1+T2) of the tensile modulus T1 in the MD direction and the tensile modulus T2 in the TD direction is equal to or less than the upper limit, the surface resistivity of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 can be effectively reduced without increasing the amount of antistatic agent added, and as a result, the antistatic properties of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 can be improved while maintaining good heat sealability. Such a tensile modulus is a substitute value for quantitatively measuring the stiffness of a film, and can be adjusted, for example, by adjusting the types and contents of the homopolypropylene (A), polymer (B) and antistatic agent (C) contained in the biaxially oriented film layer 101, the thickness and stretching ratio of the biaxially oriented film layer 101, the constituent materials and thickness of the surface resin layer 103, etc.

[0021] In addition, the tensile modulus T1 in the MD direction of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 is preferably 800 MPa or more, more preferably 1000 MPa or more, even more preferably 1200 MPa or more, and even more preferably 1300 MPa or more, from the viewpoint of further improving the performance balance of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 in terms of thermal dimensional stability, formability, water vapor barrier properties, mechanical properties, transparency, bag formability, handleability, and packaging suitability, and from the viewpoint of further improving the performance balance of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 in terms of thermal dimensional stability, antistatic properties, bag formability, and packaging suitability, it is preferably 4000 MPa or less, more preferably 3000 MPa or less, even more preferably 2500 MPa or less, even more preferably 2400 MPa or less, even more preferably 2200 MPa or less, and even more preferably 2000 MPa or less.

[0022] In order to further improve the balance of thermal dimensional stability and bag formability, it is preferable that the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 expands in the TD direction when heat-treated at 120°C for 15 minutes in accordance with JIS C2151:2019. More specifically, the thermal expansion coefficient in the TD direction of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 when heat-treated at 120°C for 15 minutes is preferably 0.1% or more, more preferably 0.2% or more, from the viewpoint of further improving the performance balance between thermal dimensional stability and bag formability, and from the viewpoint of further suppressing thermal wrinkles in the sealed portion and obtaining a bag product with good thermal wrinkles in the sealed portion, and from the viewpoint of further improving the performance balance between thermal dimensional stability and bag formability, it is preferably 2.0% or less, more preferably 1.5% or less, even more preferably 1.2% or less, even more preferably 1.0% or less, and even more preferably 0.8% or less. Generally, a roll of biaxially oriented polypropylene film is unwound in the MD direction, and bag making, coating, deposition, etc. are performed while tension is applied. That is, since no tension is applied in the TD direction, the biaxially oriented polypropylene film is easily affected by heat shrinkage when heated, and heat wrinkles are easily generated in the sealed portion. On the other hand, if the thermal expansion coefficient in the TD direction when heated at 120°C for 15 minutes is within the above range, heat shrinkage is unlikely to occur in the TD direction even when the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 is heated, and heat wrinkles in the sealed portion can be further suppressed. The thermal expansion coefficient in the TD direction of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 when it is heat-treated at 120° C. for 15 minutes is calculated by the following method. First, a 10 cm x 10 cm test piece is cut out from the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100, and this test piece is heat-treated for 15 minutes at 120° C. Next, when the length of the test piece in the TD direction after the heat treatment is TD1 [cm], the thermal expansion coefficient in the TD direction [%] is calculated by 100 x (TD1-10) / 10.

[0023] Furthermore, the heat shrinkage rate in the MD direction of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 when heated at 120°C for 15 minutes is, from the viewpoint of further improving the performance balance between thermal dimensional stability and bag formability, and from the viewpoint of further suppressing thermal elongation of the film during processing, preferably 5.0% or less, more preferably 4.0% or less, even more preferably 3.0% or less, even more preferably 2.5% or less, even more preferably 2.2% or less, and even more preferably 2.0% or less, and may be 0.1% or more, 0.3% or more, or 0.5% or more. Generally, a roll of biaxially oriented polypropylene film is unwound in the MD direction, and bag making, coating, deposition, etc. are performed while tension is applied. In other words, since tension is applied in the MD direction, if the heat resistance of the film is low, the film is likely to thermally elongate in the MD direction when heated. On the other hand, if the heat shrinkage rate in the MD direction when heated at 120°C for 15 minutes is within the above range, it is possible to further suppress the thermal elongation in the MD direction when the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 is heated. The heat shrinkage rate in the MD direction of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 when it is heat-treated at 120° C. for 15 minutes is calculated by the following method. First, a 10 cm x 10 cm test piece is cut out from the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100, and this test piece is heat-treated at 120° C. for 15 minutes. Next, when the length of the test piece in the MD direction after the heat treatment is MD1 [cm], the heat shrinkage rate in the MD direction [%] is calculated by 100 x (10-MD1) / 10.

[0024] The heat shrinkage rate in the TD direction and the heat shrinkage rate in the MD direction when the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 is heated at 150°C for 15 minutes are respectively X TD [%] and X MD When set to [%], X TD +X MD From the viewpoint of further improving the performance balance of the thermal dimensional stability and bag formability of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100, it is preferably less than 7.0%, more preferably 6.5% or less, even more preferably 6.0% or less, and even more preferably less than 5.0%. Also, biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 x TD [%] and X MD [%] is calculated as follows: First, a 10 cm x 10 cm test piece is cut out from the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100, and this test piece is heat-treated at 150 ° C for 15 minutes. Next, when the length in the TD direction of the test piece after the heat treatment is TD1 [cm] and the length in the MD direction of the test piece after the heat treatment is MD1 [cm], X TD [%] is calculated by 100×(10-TD1) / 10, where X MD [%] is calculated by 100×(10-MD1) / 10.

[0025] The thermal expansion coefficient and thermal shrinkage coefficient of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 can be adjusted, for example, by adjusting the types and content ratios of the homopolypropylene (A), polymer (B) and antistatic agent (C) contained in the biaxially oriented film layer 101, the thickness and stretching ratio of the biaxially oriented film layer 101, the constituent materials and thickness of the surface resin layer 103, etc. In addition, the thermal expansion coefficient and thermal shrinkage coefficient of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 can be measured in accordance with JIS C2151:2019.

[0026] In a package produced using the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100, from the viewpoint of further improving the performance balance between the ability to prevent the film from fusing to the seal bar during bag making processing and the seal appearance, the heat fusion strength (TD tensile direction) of the portion heat-sealed under conditions of 200°C, a pressure of 2.0 kgf, and a sealing time of 1.0 second is preferably 6.0 N / 15 mm or less, more preferably 5.0 N / 15 mm or less, even more preferably 4.0 N / 15 mm or less, even more preferably 3.0 N / 15 mm or less, even more preferably 2.5 N / 15 mm or less, even more preferably 2.0 N / 15 mm or less, even more preferably 1.5 N / 15 mm or less, and even more preferably 1.3 N / 15 mm or less. The lower limit of the heat fusion strength of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 at 200°C is not particularly limited, but may be 0.01 N / 15 mm or more, 0.05 N / 15 mm or more, or 0.1 N / 15 mm or more. In this specification, the heat fusion strength is used as an index of the heat fusion resistance of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film surface. It can be determined that the lower the heat fusion strength, the better the heat fusion resistance of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film surface. Here, the heat fusion strength at 200°C can be measured by the following method. First, two biaxially oriented polypropylene films 100 are heat fused under the conditions of 200°C, pressure of 2.0 kgf, and sealing time of 1.0 second to obtain a laminated film. Next, the two biaxially oriented polypropylene films 100 are peeled under the conditions of 15 mm width, 90 degree peel, peel speed of 300 mm / min, and tension in the TD direction, and the peel strength at that time is taken as the heat fusion strength. The heat fusion strength at 200°C can be adjusted, for example, by adjusting the types and contents of the homopolypropylene (A), polymer (B) and antistatic agent (C) contained in the biaxially oriented film layer 101, the thickness and stretching ratio of the biaxially oriented film layer 101, the constituent materials and thickness of the surface resin layer 103, etc.

[0027] The haze of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100, measured using a haze meter in accordance with JIS K7136:2000, is preferably 5.0% or less, more preferably 4.0% or less, even more preferably 3.5% or less, even more preferably 3.0% or less, even more preferably 2.5% or less, even more preferably 2.0% or less, even more preferably 1.5% or less, and even more preferably 1.3% or less, in order to further improve the transparency of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100. Such haze can be adjusted, for example, by adjusting the types and content ratios of the homopolypropylene (A), polymer (B) and antistatic agent (C) contained in the biaxially oriented film layer 101, the thickness and stretching ratio of the biaxially oriented film layer 101, the constituent materials and thickness of the surface resin layer 103, etc.

[0028] Here, the food packaging produced using the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 exhibits sufficient performance in terms of water vapor barrier properties, and therefore the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 can be particularly suitably used as a food packaging film for packaging foods that require water vapor barrier properties.

[0029] From the viewpoint of stably obtaining food packaging with improved water vapor barrier properties, the water vapor permeability of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100, measured by the following method, is preferably 20.0 g / (m 2 ·24h) or less, more preferably 18.0g / (m 2 24h) or less, and more preferably 15.0g / (m 2 ·24h) or less, more preferably 12.0g / (m 2 ·24h) or less, more preferably 10.0g / (m 2 24h or less. (Measurement method) The biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 is folded and two sides are heat sealed to form a bag. Then, calcium chloride is placed in the bag as the content. Next, the other side is heat sealed to form a bag with a surface area of ​​0.01 m. 2 The bag is then stored for 72 hours at 40°C and 90% RH. The mass of calcium chloride is measured before and after storage, and the difference is used to determine the water vapor permeability (g / (m 2 Calculate the time (24h). Such water vapor permeability can be adjusted, for example, by adjusting the types and content ratios of the homopolypropylene (A), polymer (B) and antistatic agent (C) contained in the biaxially oriented film layer 101, the thickness and stretching ratio of the biaxially oriented film layer 101, the constituent materials and thickness of the surface resin layer 103, etc.

[0030] The amount of structural units derived from α-olefins other than propylene contained in the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100, when the total amount of structural units derived from monomers contained in the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 is taken as 100 mol %, is, from the viewpoint of further improving the performance balance of the formability, antistatic properties, thermal dimensional stability, and bag formability of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100, preferably 0.05 mol % or more, more preferably 0.1 mol % or more, even more preferably 0.3 mol % or more, even more preferably 0.5 mol % or more, even more preferably 1.0 mol % or more, even more preferably 3.0 mol % or more, and even more preferably 5. From the viewpoint of further improving the performance balance of the thermal dimensional stability, water vapor barrier property, bag formability and transparency of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100, it is preferably 50.0 mol% or less, more preferably 30.0 mol% or less, even more preferably 25.0 mol% or less, even more preferably 20.0 mol% or less, even more preferably 15.0 mol% or less, even more preferably 12.0 mol% or less, even more preferably 10.0 mol% or less, and even more preferably 8.0 mol% or less. When the amount of structural units derived from α-olefins other than propylene contained in the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 is within the above range, the softening effect of the structural units derived from α-olefins suppresses the yield point stress at the start of stretching during the stretching process, improving ease of formability. In addition, the low melting point effect of the structural units derived from α-olefins more efficiently relieves residual stress in the heat setting process during film molding, improving formability and suppressing thickness unevenness. As a result, the thermal dimensional stability of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 can be further improved.

By providing the surface resin layer 103 on both sides of the biaxially stretched film layer 101, different functions can be imparted to each surface of the film. In addition, the surface resin layer 103 is preferably provided on the outermost layer of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 in order to further improve the functions of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100, such as heat resistance, heat sealability, antistatic properties, blocking resistance, printability, slip properties, etc., depending on the purpose.

[0066] The surface resin layer 103 is preferably provided so as to be in direct contact with the surface of the biaxially oriented film layer 101. This allows the manufacturing process of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 to be simplified.

Here, the thickness of the surface resin layer 103 refers to the thickness of the surface resin layer 103 provided on one side of the biaxially stretched film layer 101. That is, in this embodiment, when the surface resin layer 103 is provided on both sides of the biaxially stretched film layer 101, the above-mentioned thickness of the surface resin layer 103 indicates the thickness of the surface resin layer 103 provided on one side of the biaxially stretched film layer 101.

[0069] The surface resin layer 103 is preferably formed by biaxially stretching simultaneously with the biaxially stretched film layer 101 in a state before biaxial stretching. This allows the biaxially stretched polypropylene film 100 to be produced by a molding method such as coextrusion molding, i.e., by using a laminated film produced in a single molding, thereby further simplifying the manufacturing process of the biaxially stretched polypropylene film 100. Therefore, the surface resin layer 103 is preferably biaxially stretched.

[0070] The surface resin layer 103 may be subjected to a surface treatment in order to further improve the balance between the printability and blocking resistance of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100.

A preferred embodiment of the homopolypropylene (A) constituting the surface resin layer 103 is the same as the homopolypropylene (A) contained in the biaxially stretched film layer 101 described above.

[0072] From the viewpoint of further improving the balance of performance such as antistatic property, heat fusion resistance, thermal dimensional stability, heat resistance, water vapor barrier property, transparency, mechanical properties, rigidity, bag formability, fluidity, and moldability of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100, the content of the homopolypropylene (A) in the propylene-based polymer composition (Y), i.e., the surface resin layer 103, is preferably 75% by mass or more, more preferably 80% by mass or more, even more preferably 90% by mass or more, even more preferably 95% by mass or more, even more preferably 98% by mass or more, even more preferably 99% by mass or more, and preferably 100% by mass or less, when the entire propylene-based polymer composition (Y), i.e., the entire surface resin layer 103, is taken as 100% by mass.

[0073] (Other Ingredients) To the propylene-based polymer composition (Y) constituting the surface resin layer 103, various additives such as a tackifier, a heat stabilizer, a weather stabilizer, an antioxidant, an ultraviolet absorber, a lubricant, a slipping agent, a nucleating agent, an antiblocking agent, an antistatic agent, an antifogging agent, a pigment, a dye, and an inorganic or organic filler may be added as necessary within a range that does not impair the object of this embodiment.

[0074] (Method for preparing propylene polymer composition (Y)) The propylene polymer composition (Y) can be prepared, for example, by mixing or melt-kneading the components by dry blending, a tumbler mixer, a Banbury mixer, a single-screw extruder, a twin-screw extruder, a high-speed twin-screw extruder, a heat roll or the like.

[0075] <Method of manufacturing biaxially oriented polypropylene film> The biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 can be obtained, for example, by co-extrusion molding a propylene-based polymer composition (X) for forming the biaxially oriented film layer 101 and a propylene-based polymer composition (Y) for forming the surface resin layer 103 into a film, and then biaxially stretching the film obtained by the co-extrusion molding using a known biaxially oriented film production method such as a simultaneous biaxial stretching method, a sequential biaxial stretching method, or an inflation biaxial stretching method. The molding device and molding conditions are not particularly limited, and conventionally known molding devices and molding conditions can be adopted. As the molding device, a T-die extruder, a multi-layer T-die extruder, an inflation molding machine, a multi-layer inflation molding machine, etc. can be used. As the biaxial stretching conditions, for example, known OPP film manufacturing conditions can be adopted.
