Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an oxygen-absorbing sealant film. [Background technology]
[0002] Many techniques have been proposed for imparting oxygen absorbing properties to packaging materials themselves using oxygen absorbing resin compositions in which oxygen scavengers are dispersed in polyolefin resins. Various inorganic and organic oxygen scavengers are known, but from the viewpoints of oxygen absorbing performance, thermal stability to withstand high temperatures during processing, economy, and hygiene, those made of iron powder and an oxidation promoter are preferably used. These iron-based oxygen scavengers are generally in the form of granules or powder.
[0003] As a method for producing an oxygen-absorbing laminate film containing an iron-based oxygen scavenger, known methods such as a co-extrusion lamination method in which the oxygen-absorbing resin composition constituting the oxygen-absorbing layer and the resin layers constituting the other layers are simultaneously heated and melted and laminated, an extrusion lamination method in which only the oxygen-absorbing resin composition is heated and melted and laminated with the resin films constituting the other layers, and a dry lamination method in which a single-layer oxygen-absorbing layer film is formed in advance and then bonded to the films constituting the other layers using an adhesive are applied.
[0004] As a method for producing such an oxygen-absorbing laminate film, Patent Document 1 discloses a method for producing an oxygen-absorbing laminate film consisting of, from at least the outside, an oxygen barrier layer A / an intermediate layer B / an adhesion strengthening layer C / an oxygen absorbing layer D containing an iron-based oxygen scavenger / a sealant layer E, in which the adhesion strengthening layer C, an oxygen absorbing layer D containing an iron-based oxygen scavenger or the adhesion strengthening layer C, an oxygen absorbing layer D containing an iron-based oxygen scavenger, and a sealant layer E are co-extrusion laminated on the surface of the intermediate layer B.

[Diagram 2] FIG. 2 is a side cross-sectional view of the packaging laminate of the present invention. [Diagram 3] Fig. 3(a) is a front view of a laminate for evaluation of heat seal strength, and Fig. 3(b) is a side cross-sectional view taken along line bb in Fig. 3(a). DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0010] <Oxygen-absorbing sealant film> As shown in FIG. 1, the oxygen absorbing sealant film 10 of the present invention has at least a first skin layer 12, an oxygen absorbing layer 14, and a second skin layer 16 in this order, which are fused together. The oxygen absorbing layer 14 contains iron powder and a polyolefin resin, The first skin layer 12 contains a polyethylene resin, and The thickness of the first skin layer 12 is greater than 10 μm; The oxygen-absorbing sealant film 10 is an inflation film.
[0011] The present inventors have found that the above-mentioned configuration, particularly the thickness of the first skin layer being more than 10 μm and the film being an inflation film, provides good heat sealability. Without wishing to be bound by theory, this is believed to be because the resin composition constituting the first skin layer, the oxygen absorbing layer, and the second skin layer is immediately cooled when extruded from the ring-shaped die of the inflation molding machine, and because the oxygen absorbing layer is supported on the back side by the first skin layer during heat sealing, stress is alleviated, thereby making it possible to prevent the iron powder from being exposed to the surface.
[0012] In general, iron powder has a large particle size, and in the past, when an oxygen-absorbing sealant film was obtained using a resin composition (master batch) containing iron powder, the film did not have sufficient strength, and it was not possible to form the film, or even if it was possible to form the film, the heat seal strength was reduced. On the other hand, when the master batch was diluted with a resin to suppress the reduction in heat seal strength, a sufficient oxygen absorption rate was not obtained in some cases, but the configuration of the present invention can solve this problem.
[0013] The oxygen absorbing sealant film of the present invention can be produced by simultaneously forming and laminating the first skin layer, the oxygen absorbing layer and the second skin layer by a multi-layer inflation method.
[0014] Each component of the present invention will now be described.
[0015] The first skin layer The first skin layer contains a polyethylene resin and has a thickness of more than 10 μm. The first skin layer may be laminated on one side of the oxygen absorbing layer.

For example, a polyolefin resin can be used as the second skin layer. The second skin layer can be a layer for use as a sealant layer. That is, it can be the outermost layer, particularly in the packaging laminate mentioned below.
[0031] The resin that makes up the second skin layer may be different from or the same as the resin that makes up the first skin layer.

[0083] The first and second skin layers are made of linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE1, density 0.925 g / cm 3 As the oxygen absorbing layer, a polyethylene master batch containing 50 to 60 mass % of iron powder (iron powder MB) was used.
[0084] A laminate of a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film (thickness 12 μm) / / alloy aluminum (AL) (thickness 9 μm) / / nylon (Ny) film (thickness 15 μm) as a base layer (" / / " indicates that it is bonded with a dry laminate adhesive) was bonded to the first skin layer side of the obtained oxygen-absorbing sealant film via a two-component dry laminate adhesive to produce the packaging laminate of Example 1.
[0085] Examples 2 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 Packaging laminates of Examples 2 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the materials constituting each layer were changed as shown in Table 1. The packaging laminate of Comparative Example 4 was produced by adhering the above-mentioned base layer to the oxygen absorbing layer of a commercially available oxygen absorbing sealant film having an oxygen absorbing layer and a skin layer in this order.
[0086] Other materials shown in Table 1 are as follows: LLDPE2: Linear low density polyethylene, density 0.903g / cm 3 LLDPE3: Linear low density polyethylene, density 0.922g / cm 3 LLDPE4: Linear low density polyethylene, density 0.936g / cm 3 LDPE: Low density polyethylene Modified PO: Acid-modified polyolefin
[0087] In addition, in Table 1, the term "T-die" means that an oxygen-absorbing sealant film was obtained by an extrusion lamination method in which an oxygen-absorbing layer was extruded using a T-die molding machine and laminated with a film-like sealant layer.
[0088] "evaluation" <Heat seal strength> 3(a) and (b), the second skin layer 16 of the same packaging laminate 20 was placed facing each other, and heat-sealed under the conditions of upper die temperature 120°C, lower die temperature 120°C, sealing time 0.5 seconds, and sealing pressure 0.2 MPa to obtain an evaluation laminate 400. The heat seal strength was measured by T-peeling in the X direction under the conditions of width 15 mm, chuck distance 50 mm, and tensile speed: 300 mm / min. The peel direction 410A of the sealed portion 410 was 10 mm, and the width 410B perpendicular to the peel direction was 15 mm.
[0089] <Oxygen absorption amount> The packaging laminate is placed in a polyethylene terephthalate / aluminum foil / polyethylene bag, 6.25 cm thick.2 The bag was then heat-sealed into a tetrahedral shape so that the volume (air volume) of the packaging bag was 13 mL, and the bag was then stored at 40° C. After 3 days, the oxygen concentration in the bag containing the packaging laminate was measured, and the difference between this and the oxygen concentration in the atmosphere was used to calculate the oxygen concentration of 1 cm of the packaging laminate. 2 The amount of oxygen absorbed per unit was calculated. Measurements were performed by inserting the measuring needle of a Pack Reader (RO105L, Iijima Electronics Co., Ltd.), a diaphragm-type galvanic cell-type oxygen sensor, into the bag.
[0090] Table 1 shows the configurations and evaluation results of the examples and comparative examples.
[0091] [Table 1]
[0092] From Table 1, it can be seen that the packaging laminate of the embodiment having a first skin layer having a thickness of more than 10 μm and made of a polyethylene-based resin, and having an oxygen-absorbing sealant film which is an inflation film, has good heat seal strength without compromising the oxygen absorption rate.
