[0010] [Figure 1] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic example of the structure of the packaging film of the present embodiment. [Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic example of the structure of the packaging film of the present embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the drawings are simplified and do not correspond to the actual dimensional ratio. Note that "~" between numbers in the text indicates "above" to "below" unless otherwise specified.
[0012] [Packaging film] 1 and 2 are cross-sectional views that diagrammatically show an example of the structure of a packaging film 100 according to the present embodiment. The packaging film 100 of this embodiment is a packaging film having a biaxially stretched film layer 101 containing an olefin-based polymer and at least one filler selected from the group consisting of organic fillers and inorganic fillers, wherein the olefin-based polymer includes an olefin copolymer, the olefin copolymer includes a propylene copolymer, and the propylene copolymer includes at least one selected from the group consisting of a block copolymer of propylene and an α-olefin having a carbon number of 2 to 10 (however, the α-olefin excludes propylene) and a random copolymer of propylene and an α-olefin having a carbon number of 2 to 10 (however, the α-olefin excludes propylene).
[0013] As described above, from the viewpoint of environmental issues, there is a demand for packaging materials using packaging films with reduced density. For example, a method for obtaining a packaging film with reduced density may include a method for forming voids in a biaxially stretched film layer. However, packaging materials using packaging films with reduced density may not have sufficient strength. According to the studies of the present inventors, it has been found that in order to improve the strength of the packaging material, it is effective to improve the heat seal strength of the packaging film. According to the packaging film of this embodiment, it is possible to improve the heat seal strength of a packaging film having the same density.
[0014] Furthermore, according to the study by the present inventors, it was found that it is effective to improve the heat seal peel energy of the packaging film in order to improve the strength of the packaging material. A packaging material using a packaging film can be obtained, for example, by bonding the heat seal layers of two packaging films together. However, the strength of the packaging material using the conventional packaging film having a biaxially stretched film layer in which voids are formed tends to decrease. The present inventors considered that the strength of the packaging material is decreased when the packaging material using the conventional packaging film having a biaxially stretched film layer in which voids are formed is weak between the biaxially stretched film layer and the heat seal layer, and the biaxially stretched film layer and the heat seal layer are peeled off. That is, the present inventors considered that when the packaging material using the conventional packaging film having a biaxially stretched film layer in which voids are formed is peeled off, the interlayer between the biaxially stretched film layer and the heat seal layer becomes the peeling surface. According to the study by the present inventors, it was found that the strength of the packaging material is improved by increasing the heat seal peel energy of the packaging film. The present inventors consider the reason for this as follows. First, by improving the heat seal peeling energy of the packaging film, the strength between the biaxially oriented film layer and the heat seal layer is improved. As a result, the peeling surface is not between the biaxially oriented film layer and the heat seal layer, but is the interface between the heat seal layers of the two packaging films. The strength of the packaging material is improved by the peeling surface being the heat seal layers of the two packaging films. Furthermore, according to the packaging film of this embodiment, the heat seal peeling energy of the packaging film can be improved.
[0015] The density D of the packaging film 100 of the present embodiment is preferably 0.50 g / cm from the viewpoint of further improving the heat seal strength and the heat seal peel energy. 3 More preferably, 0.53 g / cm 3 More preferably, 0.55 g / cm 3 More preferably, 0.56 g / cm 3 From the viewpoint of environmental issues, it is preferably 0.90 g / cm 3 More preferably, 0.87 g / cm 3 More preferably, 0.85 g / cm 3 More preferably, 0.83 g / cm 3 More preferably, 0.80 g / cm 3 The following is the result. The density D of the packaging film can be measured by the method described in the Examples.

[0096] (10) Heat seal strength of packaging film The corona-treated surface of a 20 μm-thick biaxially oriented polypropylene film (Mitsui Chemicals Tohcello, Inc., product name: U-1) was bonded to the surface layer of the packaging film coated with an adhesive so that the MD direction of the biaxially oriented polypropylene film and the MD direction of the packaging film were aligned, to produce a packaging film after lamination. The adhesive used was a two-component curing polyurethane adhesive (a blend of 9.0 parts by mass of urethane resin (Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., product name: Takelac A525S), 1.0 part by mass of isocyanate curing agent (Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., product name: Takenate A50), and 7.5 parts by mass of ethyl acetate). The dry coating amount of the adhesive was 2.7 g / m 2 It was decided. After lamination, the heat seal layers of the two packaging films were stacked together so that the MD directions of the two packaging films were aligned, and the films were heat-sealed using an impulse sealer manufactured by Fuji Impulse Co., Ltd. (model: OPL-300-10) at a temperature of 140°C and a sealing time of 0.5 seconds to obtain a sample for measuring heat seal strength. A 15 mm wide test piece was cut out from the sample for measuring heat seal strength, and the two packaging films were peeled off using an Orientec tensile tester under the conditions of 90 degree peel, peel speed of 300 mm / min, and tension in the MD direction, and the peel strength at this point was recorded as the heat seal strength [N / 15 mm]. Packaging film density D [g / cm 3] and heat seal strength [N / 15mm], the value obtained by dividing the heat seal strength by density D [(N / 15mm) / (g / cm 3 )] was calculated.
[0097] (11) Heat seal peeling energy of packaging film When the heat seal strength (10) was measured, the heat seal peel energy (mJ) was calculated from the heat seal strength (N / 15 mm) and the peel distance (mm) according to the following formula (1). The method for calculating the heat seal peel energy in this specification is a measurement method that complies with the literature: Journal of the Japan Society of Welding, 2006, Vol. 42, No. 4, pp. 146-152, “Proposal for measurement and evaluation method of peel energy at welded surface of heat seal.”

[0099] In equation (1), S is the peel energy [mJ], F is the tensile strength at each peel distance [N], ΔL is the unit distance [mm] for energy calculation, and Ld is the tensile distance at which fracture occurs [mm].
[0100] [Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3] Polypropylene films were extruded with the compositions shown in Table 1, and then biaxially stretched to produce packaging films, which were then evaluated. The evaluation results are shown in Table 1. In addition, a corona treatment was performed on the surface layer opposite the biaxially stretched film layer. Extrusion molding machine: 60mmφ multi-layer T-die extrusion molding machine (screw: L / D=27, manufactured by Screw Seiki Co., Ltd.) Extrusion temperature setting: 230~250℃ Processing speed: 20m / min (winding speed) MD stretching temperature [℃]: 90℃~120℃ Stretching ratio in MD direction [times]: 5 times TD stretching temperature [℃]: 150℃~170℃ Stretching ratio in TD direction [times]: 9.3 times

[0102] From Table 1, the packaging films of the examples have an improved value of the heat seal strength of the packaging film divided by the density D, compared to the packaging films of the comparative examples. That is, it can be seen that the packaging film of this embodiment has an improved heat seal strength in packaging films of the same density. It can also be seen that the packaging film of the example has improved heat seal peel energy compared to the packaging film of the comparative example having the same density. That is, it can be seen that the packaging film of the present embodiment has improved heat seal peel energy. [Explanation of symbols]
