Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0008] [Wrapping Paper] The wrapping paper of this embodiment is a wrapping paper having a heat seal layer on a paper base material, the basis weight of the paper base material is 40 g / m 2 or less, the content of the paper base material in the wrapping paper is 50% by mass or more, the Clark stiffness in the longitudinal direction of the wrapping paper is 15.5 or less, the puncture strength of the wrapping paper is 1.3 N or more, and the length-weighted average fiber length of the pulp constituting the paper base material is 0.92 mm or less. According to the wrapping paper of this embodiment, there is provided a wrapping paper that reduces the environmental load, has excellent followability to dies and the like when packaging using a machine, has excellent burst packaging resistance, and has heat sealability. The reason for obtaining the above effects is that since the content of the paper base material in the wrapping paper is 50% or more, the content of the plastic material in the wrapping paper becomes 50% or less, and the environmental load is reduced. Also, since the basis weight of the paper base material is 40 g / m 2 Hereinafter, since the content of the paper base material in the wrapping paper is 50% by mass or more, the Clark stiffness in the longitudinal direction of the wrapping paper is 15.5 or less, and the length-weighted average fiber length of the pulp constituting the paper base material is 0.92 mm or less, the wrapping paper is considered to be flexible and excellent in followability. Furthermore, since the puncture strength of the wrapping paper is 1.3 N or more, it is considered to be difficult to break and excellent in burst packaging resistance. Note that the reason for obtaining the above effects is not limited to this. Also, according to the wrapping paper of the present embodiment, since the length-weighted average fiber length of the pulp constituting the paper base material is 0.92 mm or less, unevenness of the paper base material is suppressed, and as a result of the improvement in surface uniformity, it is considered that a heat seal layer can be formed with a basis weight less than that of the conventional heat seal layer. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.

[0009] In this specification, the numerical range represented by "X to Y" means a numerical range including X as the lower limit value and Y as the upper limit value. When the numerical ranges are described stepwise, the upper and lower limits of each numerical range can be arbitrarily combined. Also, in this specification, unless otherwise specified, measurements of operations and physical properties are performed under the conditions of room temperature (20 to 25 °C) / relative humidity 40 to 50% RH. Further, "(meth)acrylic" is a general term including both acrylic and methacrylic. Also, the longitudinal direction of the wrapping paper and the paper base material means the paper-making direction (MD) in the paper base material, and the transverse direction means the direction (CD) orthogonal to the paper-making direction.

[0010] <Paper base material> The wrapping paper of the present embodiment has a heat seal layer on the paper base material. Note that the paper base material may be formed of a single layer or multiple layers and is not particularly limited. The paper base material is a sheet mainly made of pulp, and the base paper obtained by papermaking a paper stock containing raw material pulp, filler, various auxiliaries, etc. as it is, or on at least one surface of the base paper, a sealer layer, an ink receiving layer, a water-resistant layer, an oil-resistant layer, a water vapor barrier layer, a gas barrier layer, etc. One or more functional layers can be used.

[0011] (Raw material pulp) The pulp constituting the paper base material is not particularly limited, and known pulp can be used. Specifically, unbleached pulp such as unbleached hardwood kraft pulp (LUKP) and unbleached softwood kraft pulp (NUKP); chemical pulp such as bleached hardwood kraft pulp (LBKP) and bleached softwood kraft pulp (NBKP); groundwood pulp (GP), pressure groundwood pulp (PGW), refiner mechanical pulp (RMP), thermomechanical pulp (TMP), chemithermomechanical pulp (CTMP), chemimechanical pulp (CMP), chemiground pulp (CGP), etc.; wastepaper pulp; non-wood fiber pulp such as kenaf, bagasse, bamboo, cotton, etc.; synthetic pulp, etc. These pulps may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, at least one selected from the group consisting of unbleached hardwood kraft pulp (LUKP), unbleached softwood kraft pulp (NUKP), bleached hardwood kraft pulp (LBKP), and bleached softwood kraft pulp (NBKP) is preferable, at least one selected from the group consisting of bleached hardwood kraft pulp (LBKP) and bleached softwood kraft pulp (NBKP) is more preferable, and bleached hardwood kraft pulp (LBKP) is even more preferable.

[0012] The main component of the pulp constituting the paper base material used for the wrapping paper of the present embodiment is preferably hardwood pulp, and more preferably bleached hardwood kraft pulp (LBKP). "The main component of the pulp constituting the paper base material is hardwood pulp (or bleached hardwood kraft pulp)" means that the content of hardwood pulp (or bleached hardwood kraft pulp) in the pulp constituting the paper base material exceeds 50% by mass. The content of hardwood pulp (or bleached hardwood kraft pulp) is preferably 85% by mass or more, more preferably 90% by mass or more, still more preferably 95% by mass or more, and even more preferably 100% by mass. Hardwood pulp has a shorter average fiber length than softwood pulp. By using a paper base material using hardwood pulp as the raw material pulp, a wrapping paper having a desired Clark stiffness can be obtained, and it is preferable because of excellent followability. Also, by using hardwood pulp, preferably hardwood sun-dried pulp, as the raw material pulp, the average fiber length of the pulp constituting the paper base material tends to be short. As a result, paper unevenness is suppressed, and a paper base material with better surface uniformity can be obtained. To form a heat-sealing layer on a paper base material with high surface uniformity, even if a heat-sealing layer with a lower basis weight is formed, a uniform heat-sealing layer can be formed, and the formation of a heat-sealing layer with a lower basis weight also has the effect of imparting good heat-sealing properties.

[0013] That is, the raw material pulp preferably contains hardwood sun-dried kraft pulp (LBKP) and, if necessary, softwood sun-dried kraft pulp (NBKP). The total content of hardwood kraft pulp and softwood sun-dried kraft pulp in the raw material pulp is preferably 80% by mass or more, more preferably 90% by mass or more, and still more preferably 100% by mass. Also, the mass ratio (NBKP / LBKP) of softwood sun-dried kraft pulp (NBKP) to hardwood sun-dried kraft pulp (LBKP) in the raw material pulp is preferably 0 / 100 or more and 15 / 85 or less, more preferably 10 / 90 or less, and still more preferably 5 / 95 or less.

[0014] The wrapping paper of this embodiment has a length-weighted average fiber length of the pulp constituting the paper base material of 0.92 mm or less. When the length-weighted average fiber length of the pulp constituting the paper base material is 0.92 mm or less, a wrapping paper with excellent followability can be obtained. From the viewpoints of followability and bursting strength, the length-weighted average fiber length of the pulp constituting the paper base material is preferably 0.30 mm or more and 0.90 mm or less, more preferably 0.80 mm or less, still more preferably 0.75 mm or less, even more preferably 0.70 mm or less, and more preferably 0.40 mm or more, still more preferably 0.50 mm or more, even more preferably 0.55 mm or more, and most preferably 0.60 mm or more. The length-weighted average fiber length of the pulp constituting the paper base material can be adjusted to a desired range by appropriately selecting the type of raw material pulp used, the beating degree, etc. When comparing hardwood pulp and softwood pulp as raw material pulps, hardwood pulp tends to have a shorter fiber length, and by increasing the content of hardwood pulp in the raw material pulp, the length-weighted average fiber length can be decreased. Also, when the beating degree is increased, the length-weighted average fiber length tends to become shorter. The length-weighted average fiber length of the pulp constituting the paper base material is the length-weighted average fiber length of the defibrated pulp obtained by defibrating the wrapping paper, and specifically, it is measured by the method described in the examples. Note that the length-weighted average fiber length of the raw material pulp when preparing the paper base material and the length-weighted average fiber length of the defibrated pulp obtained by defibrating the wrapping paper are not significantly different, and by adjusting the length-weighted average fiber length of the raw material pulp, the length-weighted average fiber length of the pulp constituting the paper base material can be appropriately adjusted.

[0015] (Canadian Standard Freeness) The beating degree of the raw material pulp is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of obtaining a wrapping paper having a desired Clark stiffness, puncture strength, and length-weighted average fiber length, as the Canadian Standard Freeness (CSF), it is preferably 300 mL or more and 700 mL or less, more preferably 350 mL or more, still more preferably 380 mL or more, and more preferably 600 mL or less, still more preferably 500 mL or less, and even more preferably 450 mL or less. When the CSF of the raw material pulp is within the above range, the smoothness of the surface of the paper base material is good, and even if the basis weight is small, a uniform heat-sealing layer tends to be obtained, which is preferable. CSF is measured in accordance with JIS P 8121-2:2012 "Pulp - Freeness test method - Part 2: Canadian Standard Freeness method".

[0016] (Basis weight) In the present embodiment, the basis weight of the paper base material is 40 g / m from the viewpoint of obtaining a desired Clark stiffness. 2 or less.

The lower limit is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of obtaining a desired puncture strength, it is preferably 10 g / m 2 or more, more preferably 15 g / m 2 or more, still more preferably 17 g / m 2 or more. When the basis weight of the paper substrate is within the above range, a wrapping paper with excellent followability and excellent bursting resistance can be obtained, which is preferable. The basis weight of the paper substrate is measured in accordance with JIS P 8124:2011. When measuring the basis weight of the paper substrate from the wrapping paper, the thickness of the heat-sealing layer may be measured with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and the basis weight of the paper substrate may be calculated by calculating the basis weight of the heat-sealing layer from the results of the component analysis of the heat-sealing layer.

[0017] (Thickness) The thickness of the paper substrate is preferably 20 μm or more and 65 μm or less, more preferably 22 μm or more, still more preferably 25 μm or more, and more preferably 60 μm or less, still more preferably 50 μm or less, even more preferably 45 μm or less, from the viewpoint of obtaining a wrapping paper having a desired Clark stiffness and puncture strength. When the thickness of the paper substrate is within the above range, a wrapping paper with excellent followability and excellent bursting resistance can be obtained, which is preferable. The thickness of the paper substrate is measured in accordance with JIS P 8118:2014, and specifically, it is measured by the method described in the examples.

[0018] (Density) The density of the paper substrate is preferably 0.3 g / cm 3 or more and 1.0 g / cm 3 or less, more preferably 0.5 g / cm 3 or more, still more preferably 0.6 g / cm 3 or more, and more preferably 0.9 g / cm 3 or less, still more preferably 0.8 g / cm 3 or less. When the thickness of the paper base material is within the above range, it is preferable because a wrapping paper excellent in followability and bursting strength resistance can be obtained. The density of the paper base material is calculated from the basis weight and thickness of the paper base material obtained by the measurement method described above.

[0021] Examples of the wet paper strength enhancer include polyamide polyamine epichlorohydrin, urea formaldehyde resin, melamine formaldehyde resin, etc. The content of the wet paper strength enhancer is not particularly limited, but is preferably 3.0 parts by mass or less with respect to 100 parts by mass of the raw material pulp (dry mass).

[0022] Examples of the sizing agent include internal sizing agents such as rosin sizing agent, synthetic sizing agent (for example, alkyl ketene dimer), petroleum resin-based sizing agent, and surface sizing agents such as styrene / acrylic acid copolymer, styrene / methacrylic acid copolymer. The content of the sizing agent is not particularly limited, but is preferably 3.0 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the raw material pulp (dry mass).

[0023] Examples of the fixing agent include sulfuric acid band, polyethyleneimine, etc. The content of the fixing agent is not particularly limited, but is preferably 3.0% by mass or less per raw material pulp (dry mass).

[0025] <Method for manufacturing paper base material> The method for manufacturing the paper base material preferably includes a step of papermaking a slurry containing the above raw material pulp. The papermaking method is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include an acidic papermaking method in which papermaking is performed at a pH of around 4.5, a neutral papermaking method in which papermaking is performed at a pH of about 6 to about 9, and the like. In the papermaking step, if necessary, papermaking process chemicals such as a pH adjuster, an antifoaming agent, a pitch control agent, and a slime control agent can be appropriately added. The paper machine is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include continuous paper machines such as a fourdrinier type, a cylinder type, and an inclined type, or a multi-layer combined papermaking machine combining these.

[0026] In the present embodiment, in the papermaking step, the jet / wire ratio (J / W ratio), which is the ratio of the flow rate (J) of the stock ejected onto the wire to the running speed (W) of the papermaking wire, may be appropriately adjusted from the viewpoint of making the fiber orientation ratio within a desired range. The fiber orientation ratio (longitudinal / transverse) is preferably 1.85 or less, more preferably 1.80 or less, still more preferably 1.60 or less, even more preferably 1.40 or less, and most preferably 1.30 or less from the viewpoint of making the Clark stiffness in the longitudinal direction within a desired range.

The fiber orientation ratio of the wrapping paper is measured by the method described in the examples.

[0027] In addition, in the present embodiment, surface treatment for treating the surface of the paper base material with a chemical agent may be performed. Examples of the chemical agent used for the surface treatment include sizing agents, water repellents, water retention agents, thickeners, lubricants, and the like. As the apparatus used in the surface treatment step, a known apparatus can be used.

[0028] <Heat seal layer> The wrapping paper of the present embodiment has a heat seal layer. The heat seal layer is a layer that melts and adheres by heating, ultrasonic waves, or the like. The heat seal layer may be provided by coating, dry lamination, or extrusion lamination. Among these, from the viewpoint of obtaining a wrapping paper that is excellent in followability and burst resistance and has a reduced environmental load, it is preferable to provide it by coating or extrusion lamination. The heat seal layer is preferably laminated directly on the paper base material. By not passing through other layers, it is possible to reduce the basis weight of the entire wrapping paper, and it is preferable because a wrapping paper with excellent followability can be obtained.

[0029] (Coating layer) When provided by coating, the heat seal layer preferably contains a water-dispersible resin binder. The water-dispersible resin binder is not water-soluble (specifically, the solubility in water at 25°C is 10 g / L or less), but refers to a resin binder that is finely dispersed in water in the form of an emulsion or suspension. In addition, when the water-dispersible resin binder also falls under the following lubricants, it shall be classified as a lubricant.

[0030] The water-dispersible resin binder is not particularly limited as long as it exhibits the effects of the present invention.

These may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, at least one selected from the group consisting of styrene-butadiene copolymers and olefin-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymers is preferred. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of increasing the heat seal peel strength, olefin-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymers are more preferred, and from the viewpoints of availability, cost, and recyclability, styrene-butadiene copolymers are more preferred.

[0031] Examples of the olefin-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer include ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid copolymer, ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid alkyl ester copolymer, etc. Among them, ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid copolymer is preferred, and ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer is more preferred. Therefore, it is preferable that the water-dispersible resin binder contained in the heat-sealing layer is at least one selected from the group consisting of a styrene-butadiene copolymer and an ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid copolymer. The olefin-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer may be an ionomer.

[0032] As the styrene-butadiene copolymer, either a synthetic product or a commercially available product may be used. Examples of commercially available products include Nipol latex LX407G51, LX407S10, LX407S12, LX410, LX415M, LX416, LX430, LX433C, 2507H manufactured by Zeon Corporation, Japan; Narstar SR-101, SR-102, SR-103, SR-115, SR-153 manufactured by A&R Corporation, Japan; styrene-butadiene latex 0602, 0597C manufactured by JSR Corporation, etc.

[0034] The glass transition temperature of the water-dispersible resin binder is preferably 0 °C or higher, more preferably 10 °C or higher, and still more preferably 15 °C or higher. By using a water-dispersible resin binder having a glass transition temperature equal to or higher than the above lower limit value, the occurrence of blocking can also be suppressed. From the viewpoint of heat-sealing properties, it is preferably 100 °C or lower, more preferably 80 °C or lower, still more preferably 60 °C or lower, and even more preferably 50 °C or lower.

[0037] - Lubricant - From the viewpoints of imparting slipperiness and suppressing blocking of the heat-sealing paper, the heat-sealing layer may contain a lubricant in addition to the above water-dispersible resin binder. A lubricant is a substance that can reduce the friction coefficient of the surface of the heat-sealing layer by being blended therein.

[0038] The lubricant is not particularly limited, and for example, wax, metallic soap, fatty acid ester, etc. can be used. The lubricant may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Examples of the wax include natural waxes such as waxes derived from animals or plants (e.g., beeswax, carnauba wax, etc.), mineral waxes (e.g., microcrystalline wax, etc.), petroleum waxes; synthetic waxes such as polyolefin wax, paraffin wax, polyester wax, etc. Examples of the metallic soap include calcium stearate, sodium stearate, zinc stearate, aluminum stearate, magnesium stearate, sodium fatty acid soap, potassium oleate soap, potassium castor oil soap, and their composites, etc. Among the above lubricants, paraffin wax, carnauba wax, and polyolefin wax are preferred because they have a relatively low melting point and the wax component is easily formed on the surface of the coating layer, and they have an excellent blocking suppression effect. That is, the lubricant is preferably at least one selected from the group consisting of paraffin wax, carnauba wax, and polyolefin wax. From the viewpoints of imparting slipperiness and improving moisture resistance, paraffin wax is preferred. As for carnauba wax, either synthetic products or commercially available products can be used. Examples of commercially available products include Cerol 524 manufactured by Chukyo Yushi Co., Ltd., ML160RPH manufactured by Michaelman Co., etc. As for paraffin wax, either synthetic products or commercially available products can be used. Examples of commercially available products include Hydrin L-700 manufactured by Chukyo Yushi Co., Ltd., etc. As for polyethylene wax, either synthetic products or commercially available products can be used. Examples of commercially available products include Aquacer 531 manufactured by BYK Co., etc.

[0039] When the heat seal layer contains a lubricant, the content of the lubricant is preferably 0.2 parts by mass or more, more preferably 0.5 parts by mass or more, still more preferably 1 part by mass or more, and preferably 30 parts by mass or less, more preferably 10 parts by mass or less, still more preferably 5 parts by mass or less, based on 100 parts by mass of the water-dispersible resin binder.

[0040] When the heat-sealing layer contains a lubricant, the content of the lubricant in the heat-sealing layer is preferably 0.1% by mass or more, more preferably 0.3% by mass or more, still more preferably 1% by mass or more, and preferably 30% by mass or less, more preferably 10% by mass or less, still more preferably 5% by mass or less.

[0041] In the present embodiment, the heat-sealing layer contains a water-dispersible resin binder, and in addition to the water-dispersible resin binder, it preferably contains a lubricant. Further, in addition to the water-dispersible resin binder and, if necessary, the lubricant, it may contain a pigment.

[0042] - Pigment - In the present embodiment, the heat-sealing layer may contain a pigment in addition to the above water-dispersible resin binder. By containing a pigment, when manufacturing the heat-sealing paper, the problem that the coated surface of the heat-sealing layer adheres to the back surface of the heat-sealing paper and peeling (blocking) occurs is suppressed, and a heat-sealing paper excellent in blocking resistance can be obtained.

[0043] The pigment is not particularly limited, and various pigments used in conventional pigment coating layers are exemplified. The pigment may be used alone or in combination of two or more. From the viewpoints of heat-sealing peel strength and blocking resistance, a pigment having an aspect ratio of 20 or more is preferable. The aspect ratio of the pigment is more preferably 25 or more, still more preferably 30 or more, particularly preferably 60 or more, and from the viewpoints of easy availability and smoothness of the surface of the heat-sealing layer, it is preferably 10,000 or less, more preferably 1,000 or less, still more preferably 300 or less. The aspect ratio of the pigment means the major axis / minor axis and may be measured by the following method.

[0044] The pigment is preferably a layered inorganic compound having an aspect ratio of 20 or more. The form of the layered inorganic compound is plate-like. When the pigment is plate-like, the protrusion of the pigment from the surface of the heat-sealing layer is suppressed, and a heat-sealing layer excellent in blocking resistance can be obtained while maintaining heat-sealing properties.

[0045] The pigment preferably has a length (average particle diameter) of 0.1 μm or more and 100 μm or less. When the length is 0.1 μm or more, the pigment is likely to be arranged in parallel to the paper substrate. Also, when the length is 100 μm or less, there is less concern that a part of the pigment protrudes from the heat-sealing layer. The length of the pigment is more preferably 0.3 μm or more, still more preferably 0.5 μm or more, particularly preferably 1.0 μm or more, and more preferably 30 μm or less, still more preferably 20 μm or less, particularly preferably 15 μm or less.

[0046] Here, the length of the pigment in the state of being contained in the heat-sealing layer is determined as follows. For the cross-section of the heat-sealing layer, a magnified photograph is taken using an electron microscope. At this time, the magnification is such that about 20 to 30 pigments are included in the screen. The individual lengths of the pigments in the screen are measured. Then, the average value of the obtained lengths is calculated and taken as the length of the pigment. Note that the length of the pigment may also be described in terms of particle diameter.

[0047] The pigment preferably has a thickness of 200 nm or less.
