Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a packaging material and a method for producing the same. [Background technology]
[0002] From the viewpoints of environmental protection and effective use of resources, various studies are being conducted on the recycling of plastic products. In recent years, there has been a particularly high demand for material recycling in order to realize a recycling-oriented society.
[0003] Among plastic products, packaging materials made of plastic films have a multi-layer structure to meet the different required performance for each application. On the other hand, packaging materials containing multiple types of materials are difficult to separate or sort into single materials, making material recycling difficult, so in recent years, mono-material packaging materials, such as those described in Patent Document 1, have been considered.
[0004] Lamination adhesives used in packaging materials are mainly classified into solvent-based and solventless lamination methods, but due to the strengthening of legal regulations and consideration of environmental conservation and safety, there is an increasing demand for switching to solventless types. Recently, the use of solventless adhesives has been considered not only for two-layer structures, which are the main structure of solventless laminates, but also for three-layer or more laminate structures, which were previously performed with solvent-based adhesives. However, solventless adhesives are designed to contain resins with low molecular weights from the viewpoints of handling, cleaning, appearance performance, and pot life, and tend to have a slow rise in cohesive force after lamination compared to solvent-based laminates.
[0005] This makes it easy for defects in appearance to occur due to air bubbles trapped when the solvent-free adhesive is applied, and carbon dioxide gas generated when the polyisocyanate compound, a component of the adhesive, reacts with moisture in the air. Other defects include delamination caused by air bubbles and carbon dioxide gas, and telescoping (the roll becomes bamboo shoot-like when wound up) caused by the laminated film slipping in the shear direction and shifting. If a printed layer is present, these defects are even more likely to occur due to the penetration of the adhesive into the printed layer and the unevenness of the printed layer surface.
[0006] For example, Patent Document 2 describes how the adhesive strength and processed appearance are improved by using a solvent-free adhesive with high tensile shear strength, but does not describe a method for improving the laminate appearance in a substrate having a printed layer.

[0022] <Packaging material> The packaging material of the present invention is a packaging material having a structure in which at least a base material, a printing layer, an adhesive layer, and a sealant are laminated in this order. Specific examples of the structure include, but are not limited to, the following structures. In the structure descriptions (1) to (3) below, " / " indicates the boundary between layers.

(Test conditions) A coating amount of 1.9 to 2.1 g / m is applied to the corona-treated surface of a polyethylene terephthalate substrate 1 having a thickness of 25 μm and a wetting tension of 45 to 60 mN / m on the corona-treated surface. 2 An adhesive layer is formed, and the corona-treated surface of substrate 2 having the same thickness and wet tension as substrate 1 is bonded to the substrate 2 so that the bonding area is 25 mm x 25 mm to obtain a test specimen. The test specimen is kept at 20°C and a humidity of 65% for 1 hour, and then a tensile test of substrate 1 and substrate 2 of the test specimen is performed in an environment of 80°C to measure the shear stress. In the present invention, the shear stress is measured five times and the average value is used. As the shear stress measuring device, a general tensile tester can be used.
[0053] More specifically, shear stress refers to the stress that occurs during shear deformation when a film arranged to sandwich an adhesive resin slides in a direction parallel to the surface, and during the lamination process, it occurs in the direction in which the film travels (parallel to the surface). More specifically, when the laminate packaging material passes through any of the impression rolls, coating rolls, nip rolls, and touch rolls equipped in the laminating device, the above-mentioned shear force causes the films to shift, resulting in defects such as air bubbles and delamination. If there are many voids such as delaminations and bubbles in the packaging material, the packaging material is likely to absorb moisture during the cleaning process of the packaging material for material recycling. If the moisture content in the packaging material becomes high, it can cause foaming when producing recycled pellets, which can lead to unevenness on the surface of the molded product. By setting the shear stress to 1.5 N or more, slippage and misalignment between the substrates used in lamination is suppressed, making it possible to maintain the shape immediately after lamination, and when laminating using the solvent-free adhesive, the inclusion of air bubbles and the occurrence of telescoping, etc. can be suppressed.
