Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present disclosure relates to stretched substrates, barrier substrates, laminates, and packaging containers. [Background technology]
[0002] Packaging containers are used to store contents such as liquids and powders. Packaging containers are produced using a laminate including a substrate and a heat seal layer (see, for example, Patent Document 1). For example, a stretched polypropylene film is used as the substrate because of its excellent strength and heat resistance. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2020-55156 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] Depending on the type of contents, the packaging container may be required to have gas barrier properties. Stretched polypropylene films usually do not have high gas barrier properties. For this reason, providing a vapor deposition film on the stretched polypropylene film has been considered. One object of the present disclosure is to provide a barrier substrate having excellent gas barrier properties and a polyolefin-based stretched substrate that can be suitably used to produce the barrier substrate. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] The stretched substrate of the present disclosure comprises at least a first surface resin layer containing a polyolefin and an adhesive resin, a polyolefin layer containing a polyolefin as a main component, and a second surface resin layer containing a polyolefin and an adhesive resin, in this order. The barrier substrate of the present disclosure comprises the above-mentioned stretched substrate, and a vapor-deposited film provided on the surface of at least one layer selected from the first surface resin layer and the second surface resin layer of the above-mentioned stretched substrate. Effect of the Invention
[0006] According to the present disclosure, a polyolefin-based stretched substrate that can be suitably used to prepare a barrier substrate having excellent gas barrier properties can be provided. For example, a barrier substrate having a vapor deposition film on the polyolefin-based stretched substrate has excellent gas barrier properties. The stretched substrate and the barrier substrate are useful, for example, as a substrate in a packaging material for preparing a packaging container having excellent gas barrier properties.

The MFR of the acid-modified polyolefin is measured by the A method under a load of 2.16 kg in accordance with JIS K7210-1:2014. The measurement temperature of the MFR is set according to the melting point of the acid-modified polyolefin, and is 230 ° C. for acid-modified polypropylene and 190 ° C. for acid-modified polyethylene.
[0066] The density of acid-modified polypropylene is, for example, 0.88 g / cm 3 More than 0.92g / cm 3 In this specification, the density of the acid-modified polypropylene is measured in accordance with Method D (density gradient tube method, 23° C.) of JIS K7112:1999. The density of the acid-modified polyethylene may be in the same range as that of the polyethylene described above.
[0067] The melting point (Tm) of the acid-modified polypropylene is, from the viewpoints of the strength and heat resistance of the stretched substrate, and the adhesion between the surface resin layer and the vapor-deposited film, preferably 120°C or higher, more preferably 125°C or higher, and even more preferably 130°C or higher; it is preferably 175°C or lower, more preferably 170°C or lower, even more preferably 165°C or lower, still more preferably 160°C or lower, particularly preferably 155°C or lower or 150°C or lower, for example, 120°C or higher and 175°C or lower.

[0075] [Barrier substrate] The barrier substrate of the present disclosure is The stretched substrate described above; a vapor-deposited film provided on the surface of at least one layer selected from the first surface resin layer and the second surface resin layer of the stretched substrate; Equipped with.
[0076] The vapor-deposited film may be provided only on the surface of the first surface resin layer of the stretched substrate, may be provided only on the surface of the second surface resin layer, or may be provided on the surfaces of the first surface resin layer and the second surface resin layer.
[0077] In one embodiment, the barrier substrate of the present disclosure comprises: A first deposited film; The stretched substrate described above; A second deposited film; In the thickness direction, at least
[0078] The stretched substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The first vapor-deposited film is provided on the first surface of the stretched substrate. The first vapor-deposited film is provided on a surface of a first surface resin layer of the stretched substrate. The second vapor-deposited film is provided on a second surface of the stretched substrate. The second vapor-deposited film is provided on a surface of a second surface resin layer of the stretched substrate.
[0079] The barrier substrate may further include a printed layer, which will be described later.
[0080] <Vapor deposition film> The barrier substrate of the present disclosure has a vapor deposition film and is excellent in gas barrier properties. Therefore, a packaging container produced using such a barrier substrate has excellent gas barrier properties. In one embodiment, the barrier substrate of the present disclosure has a first vapor deposition film and a second vapor deposition film and is more excellent in gas barrier properties. Since such a barrier substrate has vapor deposition films on both sides of the stretched substrate, it is possible to suppress the deterioration of gas barrier properties due to pinholes.
[0081] The vapor deposition film is composed of, for example, a metal and / or an inorganic oxide. The vapor deposition film may be a metal vapor deposition film composed of one or more metals, or an inorganic oxide vapor deposition film composed of one or more inorganic oxides. The inorganic oxide vapor deposition film may be a transparent vapor deposition film. Examples of metals include aluminum, chromium, tin, nickel, copper, silver, gold, and platinum. Examples of inorganic oxides include aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, zirconium oxide, titanium oxide, boron oxide, hafnium oxide, barium oxide, and silicon carbide oxide (carbon-containing silicon oxide). Among the vapor deposition films, aluminum vapor deposition films, aluminum oxide (alumina) vapor deposition films, silicon oxide (silica) vapor deposition films, and silicon carbide oxide vapor deposition films are preferred, and the first vapor deposition film and the second vapor deposition film are each independently preferably an aluminum vapor deposition film, an aluminum oxide (alumina) vapor deposition film, a silicon oxide (silica) vapor deposition film, or a silicon carbide oxide vapor deposition film.
[0082] The combination of the first and second evaporated films is not particularly limited. The first vapor-deposited film may be a metal vapor-deposited film and the second vapor-deposited film may be a metal vapor-deposited film, where both may be the same or different. One of the first vapor-deposited film and the second vapor-deposited film may be a metal vapor-deposited film and the other may be an inorganic oxide vapor-deposited film or a transparent vapor-deposited film. The first vapor-deposited film may be an inorganic oxide vapor-deposited film or a transparent vapor-deposited film, where both may be the same or different.
[0083] In one embodiment, the first vapor-deposited film is a metal vapor-deposited film, and the second vapor-deposited film is a metal vapor-deposited film, which may be the same or different. Such a barrier substrate has particularly excellent gas barrier properties.
[0084] For example, when a packaging container is produced using a laminate comprising a barrier substrate having a metal vapor deposition film such as an aluminum vapor deposition film on both sides of a stretched substrate, depending on the type of contents filled in the packaging container, the metal vapor deposition film may be oxidized to form a metal oxide, causing discoloration, corrosion, or volume expansion, reducing the laminate strength, and causing problems such as lifting and peeling of layers.
[0085] In one embodiment, at least one of the first and second vapor deposition films is an inorganic oxide vapor deposition film. By using a laminate including such a barrier substrate, a packaging container having excellent resistance to contents can be produced. For example, a laminate including a barrier substrate and a heat seal layer is prepared. The laminate includes a barrier substrate arranged such that the inorganic oxide vapor deposition film faces the heat seal layer side (inside of the packaging container) and the other vapor deposition film faces the outside (outside of the packaging container). When both the first and second vapor deposition films are inorganic oxide vapor deposition films, the orientation of the barrier substrate is not particularly limited. By producing a packaging container using the above laminate, discoloration, corrosion or deterioration of the vapor deposition film, and lifting or peeling of layers can be suppressed even when the packaging container is filled with corrosive contents. This is because the inorganic oxide vapor deposition film is originally oxidized, and thus it is possible to suppress the occurrence of volume expansion due to oxidation, as occurs with metal vapor deposition films.
[0086] In one embodiment, the first vapor-deposited film is an inorganic oxide vapor-deposited film and the second vapor-deposited film is a metal vapor-deposited film. In one embodiment, the first vapor-deposited film is a metal vapor-deposited film and the second vapor-deposited film is an inorganic oxide vapor-deposited film. The inorganic oxide vapor-deposited film may be a transparent vapor-deposited film.
[0087] In one embodiment, the first vapor-deposition film is an inorganic oxide vapor-deposition film, and the second vapor-deposition film is an inorganic oxide vapor-deposition film. Here, both may be the same or different. The inorganic oxide vapor-deposition film may be a transparent vapor-deposition film. Such a barrier substrate can avoid the problem of oxidation deterioration when the vapor-deposition film is a metal vapor-deposition film, and can also suppress corrosion of the vapor-deposition film from the end face of the barrier substrate. In addition, since such a barrier substrate has excellent transparency, a packaging container with excellent visibility of the contents can be produced, for example, a packaging container that can be used in a microwave oven and a packaging container that can pass through a metal detector can be produced. In addition, a packaging container including such a barrier substrate can be clearly understood by, for example, a consumer that does not contain an aluminum vapor-deposition film, making it easy to separate, and further, can suppress the inclusion of foreign matter such as black spots (metal color) that may occur due to the aluminum vapor-deposition film during recycling processing.
[0088] The first and second vapor-deposited films may both be aluminum vapor-deposited films, and may be the same or different. One of the first and second vapor-deposited films may be an alumina vapor-deposited film, a silica vapor-deposited film, or a silicon carbide oxide vapor-deposited film, and the other may be an aluminum vapor-deposited film. The first vapor-deposited film may be an alumina vapor-deposited film, a silica vapor-deposited film, or a silicon carbide oxide vapor-deposited film, and the second vapor-deposited film may be an alumina vapor-deposited film, a silica vapor-deposited film, or a silicon carbide oxide vapor-deposited film, and may be the same or different.
[0089] In one embodiment, the barrier substrate of the present disclosure has a vapor deposition film only on one side of the stretched substrate. By using a laminate having such a barrier substrate, a packaging container having excellent resistance to contents can be produced. For example, a laminate having a barrier substrate and a heat seal layer is prepared. The laminate has a barrier substrate arranged such that the stretched substrate faces the heat seal layer side (inside of the packaging container) and the vapor deposition film faces the outside (outside of the packaging container). By producing a packaging container using the above laminate, the vapor deposition film can be arranged on the outside, so that even if a corrosive content is filled in the packaging container, discoloration, corrosion or deterioration of the vapor deposition film and lifting or peeling of the layer can be suppressed.
[0090] The thickness of the vapor-deposited film is preferably 1 nm or more, more preferably 5 nm or more, and even more preferably 10 nm or more, from the viewpoint of gas barrier properties. The thickness of the vapor-deposited film is preferably 150 nm or less, more preferably 100 nm or less, and even more preferably 80 nm or less, from the viewpoint of suppressing crack generation in the vapor-deposited film and recyclability of the packaging container. The thickness of the vapor-deposited film is, for example, 1 nm or more and 150 nm or less. The thickness of the first vapor-deposited film and the second vapor-deposited film is also similar.
[0091] When the vapor deposition film is an aluminum vapor deposition film, the optical density (OD value) of the aluminum vapor deposition film is preferably 2.0 or more and 3.5 or less, more preferably 2.2 or more and 3.5 or less, even more preferably 2.7 or more and 3.5 or less, and particularly preferably 3.0 or more and 3.5 or less. This can improve the oxygen barrier property and water vapor barrier property while maintaining the productivity of the barrier substrate. When one vapor deposition film in the barrier substrate of the present disclosure is a transparent vapor deposition film, the other vapor deposition film tends to have a stable OD value and an aluminum vapor deposition film with excellent thickness uniformity. The OD value can be measured in accordance with JIS K7361-1:1997.
[0092] The surface of the deposited film is preferably subjected to the above-mentioned surface treatment, so that such a deposited film has, for example, excellent adhesion to adjacent layers.
[0093] Examples of methods for forming the vapor-deposited film include physical vapor deposition methods (PVD methods) such as vacuum deposition, sputtering, and ion plating, and chemical vapor deposition methods (CVD methods) such as plasma chemical vapor deposition, thermal chemical vapor deposition, and photochemical vapor deposition. The vapor-deposited film may be a composite film containing two or more layers of different vapor-deposited films formed by combining both physical vapor deposition and chemical vapor deposition.
[0094] The vacuum level in the deposition chamber was 10 -2 ~10 -8After oxygen is introduced, the pressure is preferably about 10 -1 ~10 -6 The pressure is preferably about mbar. The amount of oxygen introduced varies depending on the size of the deposition machine. For the oxygen introduced, an inert gas such as argon gas, helium gas, or nitrogen gas may be used as a carrier gas to the extent that no problems occur. The conveying speed of the target film on which the deposition film is formed is, for example, 10 m / min or more and 800 m / min or less.
[0095] The vapor-deposited film may be a single layer formed by one vapor deposition process, or may be a multilayer formed by multiple vapor deposition processes. When the vapor-deposited film is a multilayer film, each layer may be composed of the same component or different components. Each layer may be formed by the same method or different methods.
[0096] In one embodiment, the stretched substrate comprises a first surface resin layer constituting the first surface and a second surface resin layer constituting the second surface, the first vapor-deposited film is provided on the surface of the first surface resin layer, and the second vapor-deposited film is provided on the surface of the second surface resin layer. Such a stretched substrate is excellent in, for example, vapor-deposited film formability, smoothness, and adhesion, and the obtained barrier substrate is excellent in, for example, gas barrier properties, specifically oxygen barrier properties and water vapor barrier properties, and also excellent in brightness when the vapor-deposited film is a metal vapor-deposited film.
[0097] <Barrier coat layer> The barrier substrate of the present disclosure may further include a barrier coat layer on the vapor-deposited film. That is, the barrier substrate may further include a barrier coat layer on the surface of the vapor-deposited film opposite to the surface of the stretched substrate. Such a barrier substrate has, for example, excellent oxygen barrier properties and water vapor barrier properties, and can effectively suppress the occurrence of cracks in the vapor-deposited film when the vapor-deposited film is made of an inorganic oxide such as aluminum oxide or silicon oxide.
[0098] In one embodiment, the barrier substrate comprises, in this order, a metal vapor-deposited film as a first vapor-deposited film, a first surface resin layer, a polyolefin layer, a second surface resin layer, an inorganic oxide vapor-deposited film as a second vapor-deposited film, and a barrier coat layer. In one embodiment, the barrier substrate comprises, in this order, a barrier coat layer, an inorganic oxide vapor-deposited film as a first vapor-deposited film, a first surface resin layer, a polyolefin layer, a second surface resin layer, and a metal vapor-deposited film as a second vapor-deposited film.

[0099] In one embodiment, the barrier coat layer contains a gas barrier resin, such as an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, polyvinyl alcohol, polyamide, polyvinylidene chloride, polyester, polyether polyol, polyester polyol, polyurethane, polyacrylonitrile, or (meth)acrylic resin.
[0100] The content of the gas barrier resin in the barrier coat layer is preferably more than 50% by mass, more preferably 60% by mass or more, and even more preferably 70% by mass or more. Such a barrier coat layer has, for example, excellent gas barrier properties.
[0101] The barrier coat layer may contain the above-mentioned additives.
[0102] The thickness of the barrier coat layer containing the gas barrier resin is preferably 0.01 μm or more, more preferably 0.1 μm or more, from the viewpoint of gas barrier properties. The thickness of the barrier coat layer containing the gas barrier resin is preferably 10 μm or less, more preferably 5 μm or less, from the viewpoint of processability of the barrier substrate and recyclability of the packaging container. The thickness is, for example, 0.01 μm or more and 10 μm or less.
[0103] The barrier coat layer can be formed, for example, by applying a coating liquid obtained by dissolving or dispersing a material such as a gas barrier resin in water or an appropriate organic solvent onto the vapor-deposited film, and drying the resulting coating liquid.
[0104] In another embodiment, the barrier coat layer is a gas barrier coating film formed by mixing a metal alkoxide, a water-soluble polymer, and optionally a silane coupling agent, and adding water, an organic solvent, and a sol-gel catalyst as required to obtain a gas barrier composition, coating the gas barrier composition on a deposition film, and drying the gas barrier composition. The gas barrier coating film contains a hydrolysis polycondensate obtained by hydrolyzing and polycondensing the above-mentioned metal alkoxide by the sol-gel method. By providing such a barrier coat layer on a deposition film, when the deposition film is made of an inorganic oxide, the gas barrier property can be improved and the occurrence of cracks in the deposition film can be effectively suppressed.
[0105] Examples of metal alkoxides include alkoxysilanes, specifically tetramethoxysilane, tetraethoxysilane, tetrapropoxysilane, and tetrabutoxysilane.
[0106] Examples of the water-soluble polymer include hydroxyl group-containing polymers such as polyvinyl alcohol and ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer. Either polyvinyl alcohol or ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer may be used, or both may be used in combination, depending on the desired physical properties such as oxygen barrier property, water vapor barrier property, water resistance, and weather resistance. Also, a gas barrier coating film obtained using polyvinyl alcohol and a gas barrier coating film obtained using ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer may be laminated. The amount of the water-soluble polymer used is preferably 5 parts by mass or more and 500 parts by mass or less, based on 100 parts by mass of the metal alkoxide.
[0107] As the silane coupling agent, known organic reactive group-containing organoalkoxysilane can be used, and organoalkoxysilane having epoxy group is preferable, for example, γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane, γ-glycidoxypropylmethyldiethoxysilane and β-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyltrimethoxysilane can be mentioned. The amount of the silane coupling agent used is preferably 1 part by mass or more and 20 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the metal alkoxide.
[0108] The gas barrier composition may contain water in a ratio of preferably 0.1 mol or more, more preferably 0.5 mol or more, and preferably 100 mol or less, more preferably 60 mol or less, per mol of metal alkoxide. By making the water content equal to or greater than the lower limit, for example, the oxygen barrier property and water vapor barrier property of the barrier substrate can be improved. By making the water content equal to or less than the upper limit, for example, the hydrolysis reaction can be carried out quickly.
[0109] The gas barrier composition may contain an organic solvent, such as methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, n-propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, or n-butyl alcohol.
[0110] The sol-gel catalyst is preferably an acid or an amine compound.
[0111] Examples of methods for applying the gas barrier composition include application means such as roll coating using a gravure roll coater or the like, spray coating, spin coating, dipping, brush coating, bar coating, and applicator coating.
[0112] Hereinafter, one embodiment of the method for forming a gas barrier coating film will be described. A gas barrier composition is prepared by mixing a metal alkoxide, a water-soluble polymer, a sol-gel catalyst, water, an organic solvent, and, if necessary, a silane coupling agent. A polycondensation reaction gradually proceeds in the composition. The composition is applied to the deposition film by a conventional method and dried. This drying causes further polycondensation of the metal alkoxide and the water-soluble polymer (and the silane coupling agent if the composition contains a silane coupling agent) to form a composite polymer layer. The above operation may be repeated to laminate multiple composite polymer layers. For example, the applied composition is heated at a temperature of preferably 20°C or higher, more preferably 50°C or higher, and even more preferably 70°C or higher, and preferably 150°C or lower, more preferably 120°C or lower, and even more preferably 100°C or lower, for 1 second to 10 minutes. This allows the formation of a gas barrier coating film.

A barrier substrate provided with such a gas barrier coating film has, for example, excellent gas barrier properties, can suppress the occurrence of cracks in a vapor deposition film composed of an inorganic oxide, and also has excellent recyclability and processability of a packaging container.

From the viewpoint of visibility of the printed layer, the surface protective layer is preferably transparent in the visible light region, and more preferably colorless and transparent.
[0131] The surface protective layer contains, for example, a thermoplastic resin, a cured product of a thermosetting resin, or a cured product of an energy ray curable compound. Among these, from the viewpoint of improving scratch resistance and weather resistance, the surface protective layer preferably contains a cured product of a thermosetting resin or a cured product of an energy ray curable compound, and more preferably contains a cured product of an energy ray curable compound.

The heat seal layer contains, as a main component, a heat-fusible resin that can be melted by heat and fused to each other. Examples of the heat-fusible resin include polyolefins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and polymethylpentene, cyclic polyolefins, cyclic olefin copolymers, ionomer resins, acid-modified polyolefins, and terpolymers of ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid ester-unsaturated carboxylic acid. Examples of polyethylene include linear low-density polyethylene, high-pressure low-density polyethylene, medium-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, ethylene-propylene copolymers, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid copolymers, and ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid ester copolymers. Examples of acid-modified polyolefins include resins obtained by modifying polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene with unsaturated carboxylic acid compounds such as (meth)acrylic acid and maleic anhydride.
[0134] In recent years, from the viewpoint of reducing the environmental load, there has been a demand for recycling packaging containers. From the viewpoint of recyclability, it is preferable that the substrate and the heat seal layer are each composed of the same type of resin material (mono-material). In one embodiment, the heat seal layer contains polyolefin as a main component. This allows the packaging container to be mono-material. Such a packaging container has excellent recyclability, and for example, after collecting a used packaging container, it is not necessary to separate the barrier substrate and the heat seal layer.
[0135] For example, when the stretched substrate is a polypropylene-based stretched substrate, the heat seal layer preferably contains polypropylene as a main component. For example, when the stretched substrate is a polyethylene-based stretched substrate, the heat seal layer preferably contains polyethylene as a main component.

This allows, for example, the laminate to be used to produce a mono-material packaging container, improving the recyclability of the packaging container. The upper limit of the content of polyolefin is not particularly limited, but may be 99% by mass.
[0137] The heat seal layer may contain the above-mentioned additives.

The first heat seal layer and the second heat seal layer can be melted by heating and fused to each other. Such a laminate can be suitably used, for example, as a packaging material for forming the body of a tube container body. In this case, the second heat seal layer is a sealant layer on the outer surface side of the body, and the first heat seal layer is a sealant layer on the inner surface side of the body. That is, the body includes, from the outside to the inside of the body, the second heat seal layer, the stretched substrate or the barrier substrate, and the first heat seal layer, in this order. In one embodiment, the first heat seal layer and the second heat seal layer contain polyolefins such as polypropylene and polyethylene as main components.
[0139] In the laminate, the orientation of the barrier substrate is not particularly limited. In the laminate, the orientation of the stretched substrate is not particularly limited.
[0140] The heat seal layer may have a single-layer structure or a multi-layer structure. The thickness of the heat seal layer is preferably 10 μm or more, more preferably 30 μm or more, even more preferably 50 μm or more, and particularly preferably 80 μm or more, from the viewpoint of heat sealability and recyclability of the packaging container. The thickness of the heat seal layer is preferably 300 μm or less, more preferably 200 μm or less, and even more preferably 150 μm or less, from the viewpoint of processability of the laminate.

The concept of "unstretched" includes not only a film that is not stretched at all, but also a film that is slightly stretched due to the tension applied during film formation.
[0142] For example, an unstretched resin film corresponding to the heat seal layer may be laminated on a stretched substrate or a barrier substrate via an adhesive layer as necessary, or a heat-fusible resin or a resin composition thereof may be melt-extruded onto a stretched substrate or a barrier substrate to form a heat seal layer. In the latter case, an adhesive layer may not be provided. Examples of the adhesive layer include the adhesive layer described below.

A 30 nm thick alumina vapor deposition film was formed on each of the first and second surface resin layers of the stretched substrate by the PVD method. 47.69 g of water, 22.8 g of isopropyl alcohol, and 1.13 g of 0.5N hydrochloric acid were mixed to obtain a solution. 27.04 g of tetraethoxysilane as a metal alkoxide and 1.35 g of 3-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane as a silane coupling agent were mixed with this solution while cooling to 10°C to obtain solution A. 4.14 g of polyvinyl alcohol with a saponification degree of 99% or more and a polymerization degree of 2,400 as a water-soluble polymer, 91.07 g of water, and 4.79 g of isopropyl alcohol were mixed to obtain solution B. Solution A and solution B were mixed so that the ratio of solution A / solution B was 65.5 / 34.5 by mass to obtain a barrier coating agent. The surface of the alumina deposition film was coated with the above-mentioned barrier coating agent by spin coating, and then heat-treated in an oven at 100° C. for 8 seconds to form a barrier coating layer with a thickness of 0.3 μm. In this way, a barrier substrate was obtained. A 30 nm thick silica vapor deposition film was formed on each of the first and second surface resin layers of the stretched substrate instead of the alumina vapor deposition film, and the above barrier coat layer was further formed on the silica vapor deposition film to obtain a barrier substrate.
