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 contain 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, polyolefin films are widely used as heat seal layers because they have flexibility and transparency as well as excellent heat sealability. Biaxially oriented polyester films are also widely used as substrates because they have excellent strength and heat resistance.

[0003] 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 base material and the heat seal layer are each made of the same type of resin material (mono-materialization). For example, Patent Document 1 proposes that the base material and the heat seal layer are each made of polyethylene. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] JP 2020-55156 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] The present inventors have investigated the use of a laminate having a stretched polyethylene film as a substrate as a packaging material to produce a packaging container. However, such packaging containers tend to have insufficient gas barrier properties. Therefore, the present inventors have investigated the provision of a vapor deposition film on a stretched polyethylene film. One object of the present disclosure is to provide a barrier substrate having excellent gas barrier properties, and a polyethylene-based stretched substrate that can be suitably used to produce the barrier substrate. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] The stretched substrate of one embodiment of the present disclosure comprises, in this order, at least a first surface resin layer containing polyethylene as a main component, a polyethylene layer containing polyethylene as a main component, and a second surface resin layer containing polyethylene and an adhesive resin, and is subjected to a uniaxial stretching treatment. A barrier substrate according to one embodiment of the present disclosure includes the above-mentioned stretched substrate, and a vapor-deposited film provided on the surface of the second surface resin layer of the above-mentioned stretched substrate. Effect of the Invention

[0007] According to the present disclosure, a polyethylene-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 deposition film on the surface of the second surface resin layer of the polyethylene-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.

[0009] Hereinafter, the embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail. The present disclosure can be implemented in many different forms, and is not to be interpreted as being limited to the description of the embodiments exemplified below. In the drawings, the width, thickness, shape, etc. of each layer may be shown diagrammatically in order to make the explanation clearer, but these are merely examples and do not limit the interpretation of the present disclosure. In this specification and each figure, elements similar to those already explained with respect to the previous figures are given the same reference numerals, and detailed explanations may be omitted as appropriate.

[0010] In the present disclosure, when multiple upper limit candidates and multiple lower limit candidates are listed for a certain parameter, the numerical range of the parameter may be configured by combining any one upper limit candidate and any one lower limit candidate.

[0011] In this specification, each of the components (e.g., polyolefins such as polyethylene and polypropylene, α-olefins, resin materials such as gas barrier resins, adhesive resins, and additives) appearing in the following description may be used either alone or in combination of two or more types.

[0012] In this specification, the "main component" of a certain layer refers to a component whose content in the layer is more than 50% by mass, preferably 60% by mass or more, more preferably 70% by mass or more, and even more preferably 80% by mass or more.

[0013] [Stretched base material] The stretched substrate of the present disclosure comprises: A first surface resin layer containing polyethylene as a main component; A polyethylene layer containing polyethylene as a main component; a second surface resin layer containing polyethylene and an adhesive resin; In the thickness direction, at least Hereinafter, "provided in this order in the thickness direction" will be simply described as "provided in this order."

[0014] The stretched substrate may comprise two or more polyethylene layers.

[0015] The stretched substrate may include a first surface resin layer, a first polyethylene layer, a second polyethylene layer, a third polyethylene layer, and a second surface resin layer in this order. The compositions of the first to third polyethylene layers may be the same as or different from each other. The thicknesses of the first to third polyethylene layers may be the same as or different from each other.

[0016] The stretched substrate has a multi-layer structure of three or more layers. In one embodiment, the number of layers of the stretched substrate is 3 or more, preferably 9 or less, more preferably 7 or less. Specifically, the number of layers of the stretched substrate is 3, 5, 7, or 9. The stretched substrate having a multilayer structure has an excellent balance of, for example, gas barrier properties, strength, rigidity, heat resistance, transparency, and printability.

[0017] The content of polyethylene in the stretched substrate is preferably more than 50% by mass, more preferably 60% by mass or more, even more preferably 70% by mass or more, still more preferably 80% by mass or more, particularly preferably 85% by mass or more or 90% by mass or more. A laminate (or a packaging container) including such a stretched substrate has, for example, excellent recyclability.

[0018] The stretched substrate is a substrate that has been subjected to uniaxial stretching. This can improve, for example, the strength, rigidity, heat resistance, transparency, and printability of the substrate. The stretching ratio when stretching in the longitudinal direction (flow direction of the substrate, MD direction) is preferably 2 times or more, more preferably 3 times or more, and preferably 10 times or less, more preferably 7 times or less, for example, 2 times or more and 10 times or less. The stretching ratio when stretching in the transverse direction (direction perpendicular to the MD direction, TD direction) is preferably 2 times or more, more preferably 3 times or more, and preferably 10 times or less, more preferably 7 times or less, for example, 2 times or more and 10 times or less. The stretched substrate is, for example, a substrate that is uniaxially stretched in the MD direction (MDO substrate).

[0019] The thickness of the stretched substrate is preferably 5 μm or more, more preferably 10 μm or more, even more preferably 15 μm or more, and preferably 200 μm or less, more preferably 100 μm or less, even more preferably 50 μm or less, particularly preferably 40 μm or less, for example, 5 μm or more and 200 μm or less. A stretched substrate having a thickness equal to or greater than the lower limit has, for example, excellent strength, rigidity, and heat resistance. A stretched substrate having a thickness equal to or less than the upper limit has, for example, excellent processability. In this specification, the thickness of the substrate and each layer is the average value of the thicknesses at 10 points measured based on a scanning electron microscope (SEM) image obtained by observing a cross section perpendicular to the substrate surface.

[0020] The stretched substrate can be produced, for example, by forming the materials constituting each layer into a laminated film, and then uniaxially stretching the laminated film. For example, the film-forming method includes inflation molding and T-die molding, and inflation molding is preferred. According to the inflation molding, stretching can be performed after film formation.

[0021] In one embodiment, the stretched substrate is a stretched film of a coextruded resin film. In one embodiment, the stretched substrate is a resin film obtained by producing a laminated film by co-extrusion of a material constituting the first surface resin layer, a material constituting the polyethylene layer, and a material constituting the second surface resin layer using a co-extrusion inflation molding method or the like, and then uniaxially stretching the laminated film.

[0022] The stretched substrate and the barrier substrate described later may be subjected to a surface treatment. Such a stretched substrate and a barrier substrate have, for example, excellent adhesion to other layers. Examples of the surface treatment method include physical treatment and chemical treatment. Examples of the physical treatment include corona treatment, ozone treatment, low-temperature plasma treatment using oxygen gas and / or nitrogen gas, and glow discharge treatment. Examples of the chemical treatment include oxidation treatment using chemicals.

[0023] The stretched substrate may further include a printing layer, which will be described later.

[0024] <Polyethylene layer> The polyethylene layer contains polyethylene as a main component.

[0025] In this specification, polyethylene refers to a polymer in which the content of ethylene-derived structural units in all repeating structural units exceeds 50 mol%. In this polymer, the content of ethylene-derived structural units is preferably 70 mol% or more, more preferably 80 mol% or more, even more preferably 90 mol% or more, and particularly preferably 95 mol% or more. The content is measured by NMR.

[0026] In this specification, polyethylene may be a homopolymer of ethylene, or a copolymer of ethylene and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer other than ethylene. Examples of the ethylenically unsaturated monomer other than ethylene include α-olefins having 3 to 20 carbon atoms, such as propylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-octene, 1-decene, 1-dodecene, 1-tetradecene, 1-hexadecene, 1-octadecene, 1-eicosene, 3-methyl-1-butene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, and 6-methyl-1-heptene, vinyl monomers such as vinyl acetate and vinyl propionate, and (meth)acrylic acid esters such as methyl (meth)acrylate and ethyl (meth)acrylate.

[0027] In this specification, examples of polyethylene include high-density polyethylene, medium-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, and very low-density polyethylene, as well as ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid ester copolymer. From the viewpoint of the strength and heat resistance of the stretched substrate, high-density polyethylene and medium-density polyethylene are preferred. From the viewpoint of the film-forming property and processability of the stretched substrate, linear low-density polyethylene and medium-density polyethylene are preferred.

[0028] In this specification, the density of polyethylene is as follows: The density of the high density polyethylene is preferably 0.945 g / cm 3 The upper density limit of high density polyethylene is, for example, 0.965 g / cm 3 The density of the medium density polyethylene is preferably 0.930 g / cm 3 Exceeds 0.945g / cm 3 The density of the low density polyethylene is preferably 0.900 g / cm 3 Exceeds 0.930g / cm 3 The density of the linear low density polyethylene is preferably 0.900 g / cm 3 Exceeds 0.930g / cm 3The density of the very low density polyethylene is preferably 0.900 g / cm 3 The lower limit of the density of the very low density polyethylene is, for example, 0.860 g / cm 3 In this specification, the density of polyethylene is measured in accordance with JIS K7112:1999, Method D (density gradient tube method, 23° C.).

[0029] Low-density polyethylene is, for example, polyethylene obtained by polymerizing ethylene by high-pressure polymerization (high-pressure low-density polyethylene). Linear low-density polyethylene is, for example, polyethylene obtained by polymerizing ethylene and a small amount of α-olefins by a polymerization method using a multi-site catalyst such as a Ziegler-Natta catalyst or a single-site catalyst such as a metallocene catalyst.

[0030] Polyethylenes with different densities or branches can be obtained by appropriately selecting a polymerization method. For example, it is preferable to carry out polymerization in one or more stages by using a multi-site catalyst such as a Ziegler-Natta catalyst or a single-site catalyst such as a metallocene catalyst as a polymerization catalyst, by any of gas phase polymerization, slurry polymerization, solution polymerization, and high pressure ion polymerization.

[0031] In this specification, polyethylene may be polyethylene derived from biomass (hereinafter also referred to as "biomass polyethylene"). That is, as a raw material for obtaining polyethylene, ethylene derived from biomass may be used instead of ethylene obtained from fossil fuels. Since biomass polyethylene is a carbon-neutral material, it is possible to reduce the environmental load caused by the laminate or packaging container. Biomass polyethylene can be produced, for example, by the method described in JP 2013-177531 A. Commercially available biomass polyethylene may be used.

[0032] As the polyethylene, mechanically recycled or chemically recycled polyethylene (hereinafter also referred to as "recycled polyethylene") may be used. This can reduce the environmental impact of the laminate or packaging container. Mechanical recycling is generally a method in which recovered polyethylene films, etc. are crushed, washed with an alkali to remove dirt and foreign matter from the film surface, and then dried at high temperature and reduced pressure for a certain period of time to diffuse contaminants remaining inside the film, decontaminating it, removing the dirt from the film, and returning it to polyethylene. Chemical recycling is generally a method in which recovered polyethylene films, etc. are decomposed to the monomer level, and the monomers are polymerized again to obtain polyethylene.

[0033] The above description of polyethylene is also applicable elsewhere in this specification.

[0034] The melt flow rate (MFR) of the polyethylene contained in the polyethylene layer is preferably 0.1 g / 10 min or more, more preferably 0.2 g / 10 min or more, even more preferably 0.3 g / 10 min or more, and particularly preferably 0.5 g / 10 min or more, from the viewpoint of film-forming property and processability. The MFR of the polyethylene is preferably 30 g / 10 min or less, more preferably 20 g / 10 min or less, even more preferably 10 g / 10 min or less, and particularly preferably 5 g / 10 min or less, from the viewpoint of film-forming property and processability. The MFR is, for example, 0.1 g / 10 min or more and 30 g / 10 min or less. In this specification, the MFR of the polyethylene is measured by the A method at a temperature of 190 ° C. and a load of 2.16 kg in accordance with JIS K7210-1:2014.

[0035] From the viewpoint of heat resistance, the melting point (Tm) of the polyethylene contained in the polyethylene layer is preferably 100° C. or higher, more preferably 105° C. or higher, even more preferably 110° C. or higher, particularly preferably 120° C. or higher, and preferably 140° C. or lower, for example, 100° C. or higher and 140° C. or lower. In this specification, the Tm of various materials is the melting peak temperature obtained by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in accordance with JIS K7121:2012 (using test pieces after conditioning according to 3.(2) (wherein a cooling rate of 10° C. / min)).

[0036] The polyethylene content in the polyethylene layer is preferably more than 50% by mass, 60% by mass or more, or 70% by mass or more, more preferably 80% by mass or more, even more preferably 85% by mass or more, even more preferably 90% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 95% by mass or more.

[0037] The polyethylene layer may contain a resin material other than polyethylene, such as polyolefins other than polyethylene, such as polypropylene, polyesters, polyamides, (meth)acrylic resins, vinyl resins, cellulose resins, and ionomer resins.

[0038] The polyethylene layer may contain additives, such as crosslinkers, antioxidants, UV absorbers, light stabilizers, antiblocking agents, slip agents, fillers, reinforcing agents, antistatic agents, compatibilizers, pigments, and modifying resins.

[0039] The thickness of the polyethylene layer is preferably 3 μm or more, more preferably 8 μm or more, even more preferably 13 μm or more, and preferably 180 μm or less, more preferably 80 μm or less, even more preferably 40 μm or less, particularly preferably 30 μm or less, for example, 3 μm or more and 180 μm or less. A stretched substrate having a polyethylene layer whose thickness is equal to or greater than the lower limit is excellent in, for example, strength, rigidity, heat resistance, and recyclability. A stretched substrate having a polyethylene layer whose thickness is equal to or less than the upper limit is excellent in, for example, processability. When the stretched substrate has two or more polyethylene layers, the above "thickness" means the sum of the thicknesses of the polyethylene layers.

[0040] The thickness of the polyethylene layer is preferably 40% or more, more preferably 50% or more, and even more preferably 60% or more, and is preferably 98% or less, more preferably 94% or less, and even more preferably 90% or less, for example, 40% or more and 98% or less, relative to the thickness of the stretched substrate. When the stretched substrate has two or more polyethylene layers, the above "thickness" means the total thickness of each polyethylene layer.

[0041] The stretched substrate may comprise one polyethylene layer or two or more layers.

[0042] In a stretched substrate having two or more polyethylene layers, the density of each polyethylene layer may be the same or different. For example, the stretched substrate may have a gradient in density (density gradient) between the polyethylene layers. A stretched substrate having a density gradient between the polyethylene layers is excellent in strength, rigidity, heat resistance, and stretchability of the substrate before stretching.

[0043] In a stretched substrate having a density gradient between the polyethylene layers, it is preferable that the absolute value of the density difference between any adjacent polyethylene layers is small. The absolute value of the density difference is, for example, 0.050 g / cm 3 Less than 0.040 g / cm 3 Less than or equal to 0.030 g / cm 3 More preferably, 0.020 g / cm 3The following is the case. Such a stretched substrate can effectively suppress the occurrence of delamination at the interface between each polyethylene layer, for example. The density of the polyethylene layer is measured in accordance with JIS K7112:1999, Method D (density gradient tube method, 23°C).

[0069] In the second surface resin layer, the content of polyethylene is preferably 60% by mass or more and 95% by mass or less, and the content of adhesive resin is preferably 5% by mass or more and 40% by mass or less, more preferably 70% by mass or more and 95% by mass or less, and the content of adhesive resin is more preferably 5% by mass or more and 30% by mass or less, and even more preferably 80% by mass or more and 95% by mass or less, and the content of adhesive resin is more preferably 5% by mass or more and 20% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 85% by mass or more and 95% by mass or less, and the content of adhesive resin is more preferably 5% by mass or more and 15% by mass or less.

[0074] The stretched substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The vapor-deposited film is provided on the second surface of the stretched substrate. The vapor-deposited film is provided on a surface of a second surface resin layer of the stretched substrate.

[0075] The barrier substrate may further include a printed layer, which will be described later.

[0076] <Vapor deposition film> The barrier substrate of the present disclosure has a vapor-deposited film and has excellent gas barrier properties. A packaging container produced using such a barrier substrate has excellent gas barrier properties.

[0077] The vapor deposition film is composed of, for example, a metal and / or an inorganic oxide.

[0079] In one embodiment, the barrier substrate of the present disclosure has a deposition film only on the surface of the second surface resin layer of the stretched substrate, and does not have a deposition film on the surface of the first surface resin layer. By using a laminate having such a barrier substrate, a packaging container with excellent content resistance 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 so that the stretched substrate faces the heat seal layer side (inside of the packaging container) and the deposition film faces the outside (outside of the packaging container). By producing a packaging container using the above laminate, the 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 deposition film and lifting or peeling of the layer can be suppressed.

The OD value can be measured in accordance with JIS K7361-1:1997.

[0082] 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.

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.

[0086] 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, and the vapor deposition film is provided on the surface of the second surface resin layer.

[0087] <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.

[0088] In one embodiment, the barrier substrate comprises, in this order, a first surface resin layer, a polyethylene layer, a second surface resin layer, an inorganic oxide vapor deposition film, and a barrier coat layer.

The thickness is, for example, 0.01 μm or more and 10 μm or less.

[0093] 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.

[0094] 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.

[0096] 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.

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.

[0098] 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.

[0099] The gas barrier composition may contain an organic solvent, such as methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, n-propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, or n-butyl alcohol.

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.

[0194] [Example 1] A blended polyethylene (A) was prepared by mixing 60 parts of LLDPE (Exceed XP8656ML) and 40 parts of MDPE (Enable 4002MC). A blended polyethylene (B) was prepared by mixing 70 parts of MDPE (Enable 4002MC) and 30 parts of LLDPE (Exceed 1327MD). A blended polyethylene (C) was prepared by mixing 90 parts of LLDPE (Exceed XP8656ML) and 10 parts of acid-modified LLDPE (OREVAC 18302N).

[0195] A blended polyethylene (C); A blended polyethylene (A); LLDPE (Exceed XP8656ML) and A blended polyethylene (A); A blended polyethylene (B); The mixture was extruded from an extruder through a multi-layer annular die using a five-layer coextrusion inflation device into a tube shape, and then inflated with air pressure while being taken up vertically to form a tubular film. The tubular film had a blended polyethylene (C) layer constituting the outer surface of the tube, a blended polyethylene (A) layer, an LLDPE layer, a blended polyethylene (A) layer, and a blended polyethylene (B) layer constituting the inner surface of the tube. The inner surfaces of the tubular film were brought together to be flattened, and then both ends of the tubular film in the width direction were cut off at a predetermined width to separate it into two films. Each of the obtained films was stretched 4 times in the longitudinal direction (MD direction) using a stretching device to produce a stretched substrate.

[0196] The stretched substrate thus obtained is A second surface resin layer (a blended polyethylene (C) layer) having a thickness of 3 μm; a third polyethylene layer (a blended polyethylene (A) layer) having a thickness of 4 μm; a second polyethylene layer (LLDPE layer) having a thickness of 11 μm; A first polyethylene layer (a blended polyethylene (A) layer) having a thickness of 4 μm; A first surface resin layer (a blended polyethylene (B) layer) having a thickness of 3 μm; The total thickness of the stretched substrate was 25 μm.

[0197] Three types of barrier substrates were prepared as follows. An aluminum (AL) film having a thickness of 30 nm was formed by vapor deposition on the surface of the second surface resin layer of the stretched substrate by the PVD method, thus obtaining a barrier substrate.
