[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 comprising a biaxially oriented film layer 101 containing an olefin-based polymer and at least one type of filler selected from the group consisting of organic fillers and inorganic fillers, and a heat seal layer 103 provided on at least one surface of the biaxially oriented film layer 101, wherein the heat seal layer 103 contains a propylene-based polymer and an olefin copolymer, and the propylene-based polymer contained in the heat seal layer 103 includes at least one selected from the group consisting of homopolypropylene and a block copolymer of propylene and an α-olefin having a carbon number of 2 or more and 10 or less (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.

[0014] 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. The packaging material using the packaging film is 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. The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a packaging film having improved heat seal peeling energy.

[0015] Packaging films used in food packaging materials are required to have improved puncture strength and pinhole resistance. The packaging film of the present embodiment can also improve the balance of puncture strength and pinhole resistance. Furthermore, the packaging film of this embodiment can also have improved blocking resistance.

[0110] (6) Thickness and density of packaging film D The thickness of the packaging film was measured using a micrometer (manufactured by Hybrid Manufacturing Co., Ltd., product name: Automatic Micrometer).

[0113] (9) 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].

[0114] (10) Heat seal peeling energy of packaging film When the heat seal strength (9) 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.”

[0116] 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].

[0117] (11) Pinhole resistance of packaging film A test piece measuring 297 mm in width and 210 mm in length was cut out from the packaging film and subjected to a bending test 3,000 times at an ambient temperature of -20°C using a Gelbo Flex Tester (manufactured by Tester Sangyo Co., Ltd.) with a twist angle of 440 degrees, a stroke of 152 mm, and a bending frequency of 40 times / min. After the bending test, the heat-sealed layers of the test piece were heat-sealed to each other to make a bag, and the number of pinholes [pieces / m 2 ] was counted using an Ageless Seal Check (manufactured by Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Co., Ltd.). 2 ] was measured.

[0118] (12) Puncture strength of packaging film A test piece 60 mm wide and 200 to 300 mm long was cut out from the packaging film. Next, a tensile tester (manufactured by Orientec Co., Ltd., product name: Tensilon RTC-1225) was used to measure the puncture strength [N] when a needle was pierced from the heat seal layer surface under conditions of temperature: 23°C and humidity: 50% in accordance with JIS Z 1707 (2019).

[0119] (13) Blocking resistance of packaging film Two pieces of packaging film cut to a width of 20 mm were stacked together so that the heat-sealed layers were in contact with each other, and then heated at 55°C, 1 kg / 4 cm 2 After storing the film for 24 hours under this load, the peel strength [N / 20 mm] of the two packaging films was measured using a tensile tester (manufactured by A&D Co., Ltd.).

[0120] [Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 2] 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 Table 1, "-" means that the value was not measured. 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

[0121] [Table 1]

[0122] As can be seen from Table 1, the packaging films of the examples have improved heat seal peel energy values ​​compared to the packaging films of the comparative examples. That is, it can be seen that the packaging film of this embodiment has improved heat seal peel energy.

[0123] In addition, the packaging film of the embodiment has a smaller number of pinholes than the packaging film of the comparative example, which indicates that the pinhole resistance is improved. Also, the packaging film of the embodiment has an improved puncture strength compared to the packaging film of the comparative example. That is, according to the packaging film of this embodiment, the performance balance between the puncture strength and pinhole resistance of the packaging film is improved, and it can be understood that it can be suitably used as a packaging film for food.

[0124] Furthermore, the packaging films of the Examples have lower peel strengths as measured by blocking resistance compared to the packaging films of the Comparative Examples, and therefore it can be seen that blocking resistance is improved. That is, according to the packaging film of this embodiment, the blocking resistance of the packaging film is improved. [Explanation of symbols]
