[0009] The method for peeling off a laminate according to the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In each drawing, the same reference numerals may be used to designate common parts, and the description may be omitted. In each drawing, the scale of each member may differ from the actual scale.

[0010] In this specification, the directions of the figures are described using a three-dimensional orthogonal coordinate system of three axial directions (X direction, Y direction, and Z direction). In each figure, the horizontal direction of the resin laminate is the X direction, the vertical direction of the resin laminate is the Y direction, and the thickness direction of the resin laminate is the Z direction. In addition, deviations in each direction are allowed to an extent that do not impair the functions and effects of the present disclosure. Note that parallel, perpendicular, center, and square may also include approximately parallel, approximately perpendicular, approximately center, and approximately square.

[0011] The method for peeling a laminate according to the present disclosure is a method for peeling a resin layer from a resin laminate. The resin laminate is a laminate in which a plurality of resin layers are laminated. "Peeling a resin layer" refers to naturally peeling each resin layer from the resin laminate without applying a physical external force to the resin laminate.

[0012] There is no particular limitation on the shape of the resin laminate 100. The shape of the resin laminate 100 may be, for example, a regular shape in a planar view, such as a triangle, a rectangle, a polygon, or a circle, or may be an irregular shape in a planar view.

[0013] The size (area) of the resin laminate 100 is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.1 cm 2 More than 20cm 2 More preferably, 0.15 cm or less. 2 More than 15cm 2 Less than 0.2 cm, more preferably 2 More than 10cm 2 The following is the result.

[0014] The resin constituting each resin layer of the resin laminate may be one type of resin or multiple types of resins.

[0015] In the present disclosure, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a resin laminate 100 is composed of a first resin layer 10, a second resin layer 30, and a third resin layer 60.

[0016] There is no particular limitation on the components of the resins constituting the first resin layer 10, the second resin layer 30, and the third resin layer 60. Examples of the resin components include polyethylene (PE), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyamide (PA), and the like.

[0017] The first resin layer 10, the second resin layer 30, and the third resin layer 60 may be made of a composite material in which different types of resins are used in some or all of the resin layers. For example, the first resin layer 10 may be made of polyethylene (PE) resin, the second resin layer 30 may be made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin, and the third resin layer 60 may be made of polyamide (PA) resin.

[0018] The first resin layer 10, the second resin layer 30, and the third resin layer 60 may be mono-material in which the same type of resin is used for all the resin layers. For example, the first resin layer 10, the second resin layer 30, and the third resin layer 60 may all be made of polyethylene (PE) resin.

[0019] Furthermore, when the first resin layer 10, the second resin layer 30, and the third resin layer 60 are all made of the same type of resin, the same type of resin may have different physical properties for each resin layer. For example, the first resin layer 10 may be made of a linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) resin, the second resin layer 30 may be made of a medium-density polyethylene (MDPE) resin, and the third resin layer 60 may be made of a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resin.

[0020] The thickness of each of the first resin layer 10, the second resin layer 30, and the third resin layer 60 is not particularly limited. For example, the thickness of the first resin layer 10 is 60 to 100 μm, preferably 70 to 90 μm, and more preferably 75 to 85 μm. The thickness of the second resin layer 30 is 5 to 45 μm, preferably 15 to 35 μm, and more preferably 20 to 30 μm. The thickness of the third resin layer 60 is 5 to 45 μm, preferably 15 to 35 μm, and more preferably 20 to 30 μm.

[0021] In the resin laminate 100, a first adhesive layer 20 is formed between the first resin layer 10 and the second resin layer 30, and the first resin layer 10 and the second resin layer 30 are bonded via the first adhesive layer 20. In addition, a second adhesive layer 40 is formed between the second resin layer 30 and the third resin layer 60, and the second resin layer 30 and the third resin layer 60 are bonded via the second adhesive layer 40.

[0022] There is no particular limitation on the type of adhesive constituting the first adhesive layer 20 and the second adhesive layer 40. Examples of the types of adhesive include two-component curing urethane adhesives, polyester urethane adhesives, polyether urethane adhesives, acrylic adhesives, polyester adhesives, polyamide adhesives, and epoxy adhesives. Molten resins such as polyethylene can also be used as adhesives.

[0023] The mode of forming the adhesive layer is not particularly limited, and the adhesive layer can be formed by, for example, a sandwich lamination method, a dry lamination method, or the like.

[0024] The resin laminate 100 may further include a printed layer, a barrier layer, an anchor coat layer, a functional layer, a surface coat layer, and the like.

[0025] In the resin laminate 100, for example, the printed layer 50 is formed by printing and applying an ink material to the surface of the third resin layer 60 on the second resin layer 30 side. This makes the printed layer visible from the third resin layer 60 side of the resin laminate 100, as shown in Fig. 2. The printed layer can contain one or more types of ordinary ink vehicles as a main component.

[0026] The printing layer may further contain one or more additives, such as a plasticizer, a stabilizer, an antioxidant, a light stabilizer, an ultraviolet absorber, a curing agent, a crosslinking agent, a lubricant, an antistatic agent, a filler, etc. The printing layer may be formed from an ink composition prepared by adding a colorant, such as a dye or pigment, and thoroughly kneading with a solvent, a diluent, etc.

[0027] Furthermore, the ink composition can be used to form desired printed patterns consisting of letters, figures, symbols, designs, etc., by using printing methods such as gravure printing, offset printing, letterpress printing, screen printing, transfer printing, and flexographic printing.

[0028] In addition, the barrier layer (not shown) can be formed, for example, by laminating a metal foil on the surface of the second resin layer 30 facing the third resin layer 60, or by forming the second resin layer 30 into a vapor-deposited film in which a metal or metal oxide is vapor-deposited.

[0029] As the vapor-deposited film, a polyethylene terephthalate film having a vapor-deposited layer of a metal such as aluminum or an inorganic vapor-deposited layer such as alumina or silica, or a polypropylene film having a vapor-deposited layer of a metal such as aluminum or an inorganic vapor-deposited layer such as alumina or silica can be used.

[0030] The metal foil may be an aluminum foil or the like, and the thickness of the foil may be from 5 μm to 20 μm.

[0031] The method for peeling a laminate according to the present disclosure includes a slit forming step and a dipping step.

[0032] In the slit forming step, a slit S is formed in the resin laminate 100. In this specification, a slit refers to a linear cut that penetrates the resin laminate.

[0033] The mode of forming the slits S is not particularly limited, and for example, the slits S are formed in the resin laminate 100 by making cuts in the thickness direction of the resin laminate 100 with a metal blade. Note that when forming the slits S, it is preferable not to cut out a part of the resin laminate 100 in order to avoid generating excess waste.

[0034] The shape of the slit S is not particularly limited and may be any of a straight line, a curved line, and a combination of a straight line and a curved line, but is preferably a straight line.

[0035] The width of the slit S is not particularly limited, but is, for example, the width of the cut made by the blade die described above, and is preferably 1 mm or less, and more preferably 0.1 mm or less.

[0036] The direction of the slits S is not particularly limited. For example, as shown in Fig. 1, in one example of the resin laminate, a square resin laminate 100 is formed with slits S extending parallel to sides 1 and 3 that face each other in the lateral direction (X direction) of the square. Also, as shown in Fig. 4, in a first modified example of the resin laminate, a square resin laminate 100 is formed with slits S extending obliquely to each side (side 1, side 2, side 3, and side 4) of the square.

[0037] There is no particular limitation on the length of the slit S. For example, as shown in Fig. 1, in one example of the resin laminate, when the length of each side (side 1, side 2, side 3, or side 4) of a square resin laminate 100 is taken as 100%, the length of the slit S is 20% or more, preferably 40% or more, and more preferably 60% or more.

[0038] The number of slits S is not limited to 1, and may be 2 or more. For example, as shown in Fig. 5 to Fig. 8, in the second, third, fourth, and fifth modified examples of the resin laminate 100, the slits S are configured with three slits (slits S1, S2, and S3).

[0039] When two or more slits S are formed in the resin laminate 100, the arrangement of each slit is not limited. For example, each slit may be arranged so that two or more slits S are aligned in parallel. As shown in Fig. 5, in the second modified example of the resin laminate, three slits S (slits S1, S2, and S3) extending in the vertical direction (Y direction) of the resin laminate 100 are arranged at equal intervals in the horizontal direction (X direction) of the resin laminate 100.

[0040] As shown in Fig. 5, in the second modified example of the resin laminate, three slits S (slits S1, S2, and S3) are arranged in the center of the resin laminate 100, but are not limited to such an arrangement. For example, as shown in Fig. 6, in the third modified example of the resin laminate, three slits S (slits S1, S2, and S3) may be arranged biased to one side of each side of the resin laminate 100 (for example, side 3).

[0041] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 7, in a fourth modified example of the resin laminate, slits S extending diagonally to each side (side 1, side 2, side 3, and side 4) of the square resin laminate 100 are arranged in parallel.

[0042] When two or more slits S are formed in the resin laminate 100, the lengths of the slits may be the same or different. In addition, the slits are not limited to being arranged in parallel as described above, and may be arranged randomly. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, in a fifth modified example of the resin laminate, three slits S (slit S1, slit S2, and slit S3) having different lengths are arranged randomly in the resin laminate 100.

[0043] Furthermore, when two or more slits S are formed in the resin laminate 100, the slits may be arranged so that the two or more slits intersect. For example, as shown in Fig. 9, in a sixth modified example of the resin laminate, a slit S (slit S4) extending in the vertical direction (Y direction) of the resin laminate 100 and a slit S (slit S5) extending in the horizontal direction (X direction) of the resin laminate 100 are arranged so as to intersect at right angles at the center of the resin laminate 100.

[0044] Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 10, in the seventh modified example of the resin laminate, two slits S (slits S4 and S5) extending diagonally to each side (side 1, side 2, side 3, and side 4) of the square resin laminate 100 are arranged so as to intersect at right angles in the center of the resin laminate 100.

[0045] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 11, in the eighth modified example of the resin laminate, in addition to the two slits S (slit S4 and slit S5) in the seventh modified example of Figure 10, a slit S (slit S6) extending in the vertical direction (Y direction) of the resin laminate 100 is arranged so as to intersect at the center of the resin laminate 100.

[0046] Furthermore, when two or more slits S are formed in the resin laminate 100, the two or more slits may be configured as a first slit group having multiple slits arranged parallel to a first direction, and a second slit group having multiple slits arranged parallel to the first direction and facing the first slit group in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction.

[0047] For example, as shown in FIG. 12, in the ninth modified example of the resin laminate, three slits S1 (slits S11, S12, and S13) arranged at equal intervals in the horizontal direction (X direction) of the resin laminate 100 and extending in the vertical direction (Y direction) of the resin laminate 100 are arranged on one side 2 of the vertical direction (Y direction) of the resin laminate 100. In addition, three slits S2 (slits S21, S22, and S23) arranged at equal intervals in the horizontal direction (X direction) of the resin laminate 100 and extending in the vertical direction (Y direction) of the resin laminate 100 are arranged on the other side 4 of the vertical direction (Y direction) of the resin laminate 100. Furthermore, the three slits S1 and the three slits S2 are arranged opposite to each other in the vertical direction (Y direction) of the resin laminate 100. Here, the three slits S1 and the three slits S2 are an example of the first slit group and the second slit group of the present disclosure. Moreover, the longitudinal direction (Y direction) and longitudinal direction (Y direction) of the resin laminate 100 are examples of the first direction and second direction of the present disclosure.

[0048] It is preferable that the slits S are formed continuously from the edge of the resin laminate 100, regardless of the number of slits S formed in the resin laminate 100. For example, as shown in Fig. 13, in the tenth modified example of the resin laminate, the three slits S1 (slits S11, S12, and S13) arranged on one side 2 in the ninth modified example of Fig. 12 are formed continuously on the one side 2. In addition, the three slits S2 (slits S21, S22, and S23) arranged on the other side 4 are formed continuously on the other side 4. Here, the one side 2 and the other side 4 are both examples of the edge of the resin laminate of the present disclosure.

[0049] In addition, when two or more slits are formed in the resin laminate, the two or more slits may be arranged in a staggered manner. For example, as shown in Fig. 14, in the eleventh modified example of the resin laminate, two slits S1 (slits S11 and S12) are arranged in the horizontal direction (X direction) of the resin laminate 100, and extend in the vertical direction (Y direction) of the resin laminate 100, continuing from one side 2 in the vertical direction (Y direction) of the resin laminate 100, and two slits S2 (slits S21 and S22) are arranged in the horizontal direction (X direction) of the resin laminate 100, and extend in the vertical direction (Y direction) of the resin laminate 100, continuing from the other side 4 in the vertical direction (Y direction) of the resin laminate 100, and one slit S3 is arranged in the center of the resin laminate 100 in a staggered manner with respect to the two slits S1 and the two slits S2.

[0050] In the laminate peeling method of the present disclosure, in the immersion step, the resin laminate 100 having the slit S formed therein is immersed in a stripping liquid. The manner in which the resin laminate 100 is immersed in the stripping liquid is not particularly limited. In the present disclosure, for example, as shown in FIG. 15, the resin laminate 100 is immersed in a stripping liquid 80 contained in an immersion bath 70.

[0051] The components of the stripping solution are not particularly limited, and examples thereof include an inorganic solvent, an inorganic solution, an organic solvent, an organic solution, a mixture of an inorganic compound and an organic solvent, a mixture of an inorganic compound and an organic solution, a mixture of an inorganic solvent and an organic solvent, a mixture of an inorganic solvent and an organic solution, a mixture of an inorganic solution and an organic solvent, a mixture of an inorganic solution and an organic solution, etc. Among these, a mixture of an inorganic compound and an organic solvent and a mixture of an inorganic compound and an organic solution are preferred.

[0052] The mixture of an inorganic compound and an organic solvent is, for example, a mixture of an alkaline inorganic compound and an alcohol, preferably a mixture of potassium hydroxide and methanol, or a mixture of sodium hydroxide and methanol.

[0053] The mixture of an inorganic compound and an organic solution is, for example, a mixture of an alkaline inorganic compound and an alcohol solution, preferably a mixture of potassium hydroxide, methanol, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). From the viewpoint of reducing the toxicity of the stripping solution, a stripping solution that does not contain NMP (such as a mixture of potassium hydroxide and methanol, or a mixture of sodium hydroxide and methanol) is preferable.

[0054] The temperature of the stripping solution is not particularly limited and is, for example, 20° C. or higher, preferably 30° C. or higher and 90° C. or lower, and more preferably 40° C. or higher and 80° C. or lower.

[0055] In the immersion step, a physical treatment such as stirring the stripping solution or applying ultrasonic vibration to the stripping solution may be added as desired.

[0056] As described above, the laminate peeling method of the present disclosure includes a slit forming step and an immersion step, and when the resin laminate 100 with the slit S formed therein is immersed in the peeling liquid 80, the peeling liquid 80 penetrates between the resin layers of the resin laminate 100 not only from the edge of the resin laminate 100 but also from the portion where the slit S is formed. Therefore, as shown in Figs. 15 and 16, the first resin layer 10, the second resin layer 30, and the third resin layer 60 are easily peeled from the resin laminate 100. Thus, according to the laminate peeling method of the present disclosure, each resin can be separated (isolated) from the resin laminate without using large-scale equipment (stirring, ultrasonic vibration, etc.).

[0057] Furthermore, in the laminate peeling method of the present disclosure, by forming a slit S in the resin laminate 100, the end of the slit S can be formed at a position close to the edge of the resin laminate 100. Therefore, the stripping liquid 80 can easily penetrate between the end of the slit S and the edge of the resin laminate 100. This makes it possible to shorten the time from when the resin laminate is immersed in the stripping liquid until each resin layer is peeled off. In this way, according to the laminate peeling method of the present disclosure, each resin can be efficiently separated (isolated) from the resin laminate.

[0058] Furthermore, in the laminate peeling method of the present disclosure, as described above, the peeling liquid 80 can easily penetrate between the resin layers of the resin laminate 100 through the slit S, so that even if the bonds between the resin layers are strong, each resin layer can be isolated. Therefore, regardless of whether the resin laminate is a composite material or a mono-material, each resin can be separated (isolated) from the resin laminate.

[0059] Furthermore, according to the laminate peeling method of the present disclosure, as described above, each resin can be isolated from the resin laminate 100, making it easy to separate the resins. This makes it possible to reuse each resin constituting the resin laminate 100.

[0060] In the laminate peeling method of the present disclosure, as described above, when there are two or more slits S, the portion into which the stripping liquid 80 penetrates increases in the resin laminate 100, and the time from when the resin laminate is immersed in the stripping liquid until each resin layer is peeled off can be further shortened. Therefore, according to the laminate peeling method of the present disclosure, each resin can be separated (isolated) from the resin laminate more efficiently.

[0061] In the laminate peeling method disclosed herein, as described above, by arranging two or more slits in parallel, even when two or more slits are formed regularly, the effect of shortening the time from immersing the resin laminate in the peeling solution to peeling off each resin layer can be maintained.

[0062] In the laminate peeling method disclosed herein, as described above, by intersecting two or more slits, the effect of shortening the time from immersing the resin laminate in the peeling solution to peeling off each resin layer can be maintained, even if another slit is formed in a part of the resin laminate where a slit has already been formed.

[0063] In the laminate peeling method disclosed herein, as described above, by configuring two or more slits as a first slit group having a plurality of slits aligned parallel to a first direction, and a second slit group having a plurality of slits aligned parallel to the first direction and facing the first slit group in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, the area through which the stripping liquid 80 penetrates in the resin laminate 100 is further increased, thereby further shortening the time from immersing the resin laminate in the stripping liquid until each resin layer is peeled off.

[0064] In the laminate peeling method of the present disclosure, as described above, the slit is formed continuously from the edge of the resin laminate, so that the stripping liquid 80 can easily enter the slit S by capillary action. This further increases the amount of the stripping liquid 80 that permeates between the resin layers of the resin laminate 100, so that the stripping liquid 80 can more easily permeate between the resin layers of the resin laminate 100. This enables more efficient separation (isolation) of each resin from the resin laminate.

[0065] In the method for peeling off a laminate according to the present disclosure, as described above, the area of ​​the resin laminate 100 is 0.1 cm 2 More than 20cm 2 If the thickness is less than this, the operation of forming slits in the resin laminate in the slit forming step is facilitated, the operation of immersing the resin laminate in the stripping solution is facilitated in the immersion step, and further, separation (isolation) of each resin peeled (separated) from the resin laminate in the immersion step is facilitated.

[0066] In the method for peeling off a laminate of the present disclosure, as described above, the peeling liquid 80 is a mixed liquid of an alkaline inorganic compound and an alcohol, so that even if layers other than resin, such as an adhesive layer or a metal deposition layer, exist between the resin layers constituting the resin laminate, these layers other than resin are easily dissolved. Therefore, the bond between the resin layers due to adhesion can be easily dissolved, and each resin can be easily separated (isolated) from the resin laminate.

[0067] In addition, since the stripping solution is a mixture of an alkaline inorganic compound and an alcohol, even if a colored layer containing ink or pigment, such as a printed layer, is present between the resin layers that make up the resin laminate, the colored layer is easily dissolved. This makes it possible to remove (deink) the ink or pigment from the attached layer when each resin layer is peeled off from the resin laminate, and therefore each resin can be cleanly (recyclably) separated (isolated) from the resin laminate.

[0068] In the method for peeling a laminate of the present disclosure, as described above, by setting the temperature of the peeling solution to 20° C. or higher, the first resin layer 10, the second resin layer 30, and the third resin layer 60 can be peeled off from the resin laminate 100 even at room temperature. In addition, by setting the temperature of the peeling solution to 40° C. or higher and 80° C. or lower, the rate of dissolving layers other than the resin present between the resin layers constituting the resin laminate (adhesive layer, metal deposition layer, colored layer, etc.) can be increased. Therefore, the time from immersing the resin laminate in the peeling solution until each resin layer is peeled off can be further shortened, which enables more efficient separation (isolation) of each resin from the resin laminate.

[0069] In the laminate peeling method of the present disclosure, as described above, each resin can be separated (isolated) from the resin laminate without adding physical treatments such as stirring or ultrasonic vibration. However, by adding such physical treatments, some of the resin layers of the resin laminate 100 (e.g., the above-mentioned PET layer) or the adhesive layer between the resin layers can be dissolved more efficiently. EXAMPLES

[0070] The present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to examples. The examples and comparative examples were evaluated by the following tests.

[0071] [Resin laminate (test specimen)] As test specimens, a square laminate CM (composite material) and a square laminate MM (three-layer mono-material) were prepared. The laminate CM is a three-layer composite material with a polyamide (PA) resin layer / printed layer of 15 μm, an adhesive layer of 2 μm, an aluminum vapor deposition layer / polyethylene terephthalate (PET) resin layer of 12 μm, an adhesive layer of 2 μm, and a linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) resin layer of 100 μm. The adhesive is a urethane cured material. The laminate MM is a three-layer mono-material with a high-density polyethylene (HDPE) resin layer of 25 μm, an adhesive layer of 2 μm, a linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) resin layer of 25 μm, an adhesive layer of 2 μm, and a linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) resin layer of 80 μm. Linear slits were formed in the laminate CM and the laminate MM.

[0072] [Stripper] Solution 1, Solution 2, and Solution 3 were prepared as stripping solutions for immersing the test specimens.

[0108] [Table 3]

[0109] From Tables 1 and 2, it was found that in Examples 1 to 26, when a test specimen (resin laminate) with a slit formed therein was immersed in a stripping solution, each resin layer could be separated (isolated) from the resin laminate within 120 minutes in all cases.

[0110] Furthermore, from Table 2, it was found that in Examples 24 to 26, even in the case of the monomaterial, which tends to be relatively more difficult to peel off than the composite material, each resin layer could be separated (isolated) from the resin laminate in the same manner as in the composite material.

[0111] On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, when a resin laminate (test specimen) in which no slits were formed was immersed in the stripping solution, each resin could not be separated (isolated) from the resin laminate even after 120 minutes had passed.

[0112] Furthermore, from Table 3, it was found that in Examples 27 and 28, each resin layer could be separated (isolated) from the resin laminate within 24 hours even when the temperature of the stripping solution was 23° C. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 3, when the temperature of the stripping solution was 23° C., each resin could not be separated (isolated) from the resin laminate even after 33 hours had passed.
