Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a laminate and a packaging container.

[0002] Conventionally, a resin film made of a polyester resin such as polyethylene terephthalate (hereinafter also referred to as a polyester film) has excellent mechanical properties, chemical stability, heat resistance, and transparency, and is inexpensive. Therefore, it is used as a base material constituting a laminate used for manufacturing a packaging container.

[0003] Such a polyester film is usually laminated with a polyethylene film as a sealant layer, and after being formed into a laminate, it is formed into a packaging container.

[0004] A packaging container produced from the above-described laminate in which different resin films, that is, a polyester film and a polyethylene film are laminated together is difficult to separate into its respective layers. The packaging containers recovered after use are not suitable for recycling and are not actively recycled at present.

[0005] And, for the purpose of improving the recyclability of packaging containers, instead of using a polyester film, the use of a polyethylene film as a base material and the production of a packaging container (monomaterial packaging container) using a laminate composed of the same material have been studied.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0006] Recently, the present inventors attempted to form a vapor deposition film on the surface of a polyethylene film in order to compensate for the decreased gas barrier property associated with changing the polyester film to a polyethylene film. However, the adhesion between the polyethylene film and the vapor deposition film was not sufficient, and when a packaging container was produced using the polyethylene film on which the vapor deposition film was formed, a new problem was found that delamination might occur between the polyethylene film and the vapor deposition film.

[0007] And, surprisingly, the inventors have found that by providing a surface resin layer containing a resin material having a melting point of 150°C or higher on the surface of the polyethylene film, the adhesion of the vapor deposition film formed on the surface resin layer is improved, and accordingly, the gas barrier property of the laminate is remarkably improved, and the above problems can be solved.

[0008] The present invention has been made based on such findings, and the problem to be solved is to provide a laminate that can be suitably used for producing a single-material packaging container, has high adhesion to a vapor deposition film, and can effectively prevent delamination when used as a packaging container.

[0009] Another problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a packaging container made of the above-described laminate.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0025] (Laminate) As shown in FIG. 1, the laminate 10 of the present invention includes at least a first sealant layer 11, a vapor deposition film 12, a base material 13, and a second sealant layer 14. The polyethylene resin layer of the base material included in the laminate, the first sealant layer, and the second sealant layer are made of the same resin, that is, polyethylene resin. A laminate having such a configuration can be suitably used as a laminate for producing a monomaterial packaging container. Moreover, in the laminate of the present invention, the adhesion between the base material and the vapor deposition film is significantly improved, and it has extremely high gas barrier properties.

[0026] The base material 13 includes at least a surface resin layer 15 and a polyethylene resin layer 16. The base material 13 can include an adhesive resin layer (not shown) between the surface resin layer 15 and the polyethylene resin layer 16.

[0027] In one embodiment, the laminate 10 can include a melt-extruded resin layer or an adhesive layer 17 between the first sealant layer 11 and the vapor deposition film 12, and between the base material 13 and the second sealant layer 14.

[0028] The content of the polyethylene resin with respect to the total amount of the solid content contained in the laminate is preferably 95% by mass or more. Thereby, it can be made into a laminate that can be suitably used for producing a monomaterial packaging container.

[0029] Hereinafter, each layer included in the laminate 10 will be described.

[0030] (Base material) The base material includes at least a polyethylene resin layer and a surface resin layer. Further, in one embodiment, the base material includes an adhesive resin layer between the polyethylene resin layer and the surface resin layer.

[0031] The ratio of the thickness of the surface resin layer to the total thickness of the base material is preferably 2% or more and 20% or less, and more preferably 4% or more and 15% or less. By setting the ratio of the thickness of the surface resin layer to the total thickness of the base material to 2% or more, the adhesion of the vapor deposition film can be further improved, and the gas barrier property can be further improved. Also, by setting the ratio of the thickness of the surface resin layer to the total thickness of the base material to 20% or less, it can be made into a laminate that can be suitably used for producing a monomaterial packaging container. Furthermore, the film-forming property and processing suitability of the base material can be further improved.

[0032] (Polyethylene resin layer) The polyethylene resin layer is composed of a polyethylene resin. As the polyethylene resin, high-density polyethylene resin (HDPE), medium-density polyethylene resin (MDPE), low-density polyethylene resin (LDPE), linear low-density polyethylene resin (LLDPE), and ultra-low-density polyethylene resin (VLDPE) can be used. Also, as the polyethylene resin, a copolymer of ethylene and other monomers can also be used. Furthermore, as the polyethylene resin, a polyethylene resin derived from biomass, or a mechanically recycled or chemically recycled polyethylene resin can also be used.

[0033] Here, as the high-density polyethylene resin, a polyethylene resin having a density of 0.945 g / cm 3 or higher can be used. As the medium-density polyethylene resin, a polyethylene resin having a density of 0.925 g / cm 3 or higher and less than 0.945 g / cm 3 can be used. As the low-density polyethylene resin, a polyethylene resin having a density of 0.900 g / cm 3 or higher and less than 0.925 g / cm 3 can be used. As the linear low-density polyethylene resin, a polyethylene resin having a density of 0.900 g / cm 3 or higher and less than 0.925 g / cm 3 can be used. As the ultra-low-density polyethylene resin, a polyethylene resin having a density of less than 0.900 g / cm 3 can be used.

[0034] The content of the polyethylene resin in the polyethylene resin layer is preferably 70% by mass or more, and more preferably 80% by mass or more. Thereby, the laminate of the present invention can be more suitably used for producing a monomaterial packaging container.

[0035] In one embodiment, the polyethylene resin layer may include at least one layer containing a compatibilizer. When the packaging container produced using the laminate of the present invention is heated and melted and recycled by including a compatibilizer in the polyethylene resin layer, the resin material having a melting point of 150°C or higher contained in the surface resin layer and the polyethylene resin contained in the polyethylene resin layer can be effectively prevented from being uniformly mixed and the physical properties thereof from deteriorating. Further, it is possible to effectively prevent the transparency from deteriorating. In addition, when the polyethylene resin layer has a multilayer structure, the compatibilizer is preferably contained in the layer in contact with the surface resin layer of the polyethylene resin layer. By incorporating the compatibilizer into the layer in contact with the surface resin layer of the polyethylene resin layer, the above-described effect can be further improved.

[0036] As the compatibilizer, conventionally known ones can be appropriately selected and used. From the viewpoint of recyclability, an unsaturated carboxylic acid-modified polyolefin resin is preferable, and among them, a maleic anhydride-modified polyethylene resin is more preferable.

[0037] The content of the compatibilizer in the layer containing the compatibilizer is preferably 5% by mass or more and 30% by mass or less. By setting the content of the compatibilizer in the polyethylene resin layer to 5% by mass or more, the above-described effect can be further improved. By setting the content of the compatibilizer in the polyethylene resin layer to 30% by mass or less, the strength and heat resistance of the base material can be improved.

[0038] Within a range not impairing the characteristics of the present invention, the polyethylene resin layer may contain a resin material other than the polyethylene resin. For example, polyolefin resins such as polypropylene resin, (meth)acrylic resins, vinyl resins, cellulose resins, polyamide resins, polyester resins, and ionomer resins can be mentioned. Note that, from the viewpoint of recyclability, it is particularly preferable that the polyethylene resin layer does not contain a resin other than the polyethylene resin.

[0039] Also, within a range not impairing the characteristics of the present invention, the polyethylene resin layer can contain additives. For example, crosslinking agents, antioxidants, antiblocking agents, slip agents, ultraviolet absorbers, light stabilizers, fillers, reinforcing agents, antistatic agents, pigments, and modifying resins can be mentioned.

[0040] The polyethylene resin layer provided in the base material may have a single-layer structure or a multilayer structure.

[0041] In a polyethylene resin layer having a multilayer structure, the densities of the polyethylene resins constituting each layer may be different, that is, a density gradient may be provided in the polyethylene resin layer. By providing a density gradient in the polyethylene resin layer, its strength, heat resistance and drawability are significantly improved.

[0042] In a polyethylene resin layer provided with a density gradient, when the density difference between each layer is large, delamination may occur at the interface. Therefore, the density difference between each layer is preferably 3 not more than 0.04 g / cm 3 and more preferably not more than 0.02 g / cm.

[0043] The embodiments of the polyethylene resin layer provided with a density gradient are exemplified below. Note that the configuration of the polyethylene resin layer is not limited to these.

[0044] In one embodiment, the polyethylene resin layer provided with a density gradient is composed of three layers: a layer containing a high-density polyethylene resin, a layer containing a medium-density polyethylene resin, and a layer containing a high-density polyethylene resin. By forming the polyethylene resin layer into a three-layer structure with the above-described density gradient, the strength, heat resistance and drawability are significantly improved. Also, in the substrate, curling can be effectively prevented from occurring.

[0045] In one embodiment, the polyethylene resin layer provided with a density gradient is composed of five layers: a layer containing a high-density polyethylene, a layer containing a medium-density polyethylene resin, a layer containing at least one of a low-density polyethylene resin and a linear low-density polyethylene resin, a layer containing a medium-density polyethylene resin, and a layer containing a high-density polyethylene resin. By forming the polyethylene resin layer into a five-layer structure with the density gradient as described above, the strength, heat resistance, and drawability are significantly improved. Further, in the substrate, it is possible to effectively prevent the occurrence of curl. The polyethylene resin layer having such a structure can be stably produced by the inflation method as follows. Specifically, from the outside, high-density polyethylene resin, medium-density polyethylene resin, and at least one of low-density polyethylene resin and linear low-density polyethylene resin are co-extruded in a tubular shape. Next, layers containing at least one of low-density polyethylene resin and linear low-density polyethylene resin can be produced by pressing them together using a rubber roll or the like. By producing in such a manner, the number of defective products in production can be significantly reduced, and ultimately, the production efficiency can be improved.

[0046] In one embodiment, the polyethylene resin layer with a density gradient is composed of seven layers: a layer containing high-density polyethylene resin, a layer containing a blend resin of high-density polyethylene resin and medium-density polyethylene resin, a layer containing at least one of low-density polyethylene resin and linear low-density polyethylene resin, a layer containing a blend resin of high-density polyethylene resin and medium-density polyethylene resin, and a layer containing high-density polyethylene resin. By forming the polyethylene resin layer into a five-layer structure with the density gradient as described above, the strength, heat resistance, and drawability are significantly improved. Further, in the substrate, it is possible to effectively prevent the occurrence of curl. Furthermore, it is possible to effectively prevent the occurrence of delamination in the substrate. Also, the polyethylene resin layer having such a structure can be stably produced by the inflation method described above.

[0047] The thickness of the polyethylene resin layer is preferably 10 μm or more and 50 μm or less, and more preferably 10 μm or more and 40 μm or less. By setting the thickness of the polyethylene resin layer to 10 μm or more, the strength and heat resistance of the substrate can be further improved. Also, by setting the thickness of the polyethylene resin layer to 50 μm or less, the film-forming property and processability of the substrate can be further improved.

[0048] The polyethylene resin layer may have a printing layer on its surface. The image formed on the printing layer is not particularly limited, and characters, patterns, symbols, and combinations thereof are represented. The formation of the printing layer on the substrate can be performed using ink derived from biomass. Thereby, the environmental load can be reduced. The method for forming the printing layer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include conventionally known printing methods such as the gravure printing method, the offset printing method, and the flexographic printing method.

[0049] (Surface resin layer) The substrate included in the laminate of the present invention includes a surface resin layer containing a resin material having a melting point of 150°C or higher (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a high melting point resin material) on the polyethylene resin layer.

[0050] The melting point of the high melting point resin material is more preferably 160°C or higher. By setting the melting point of the high melting point resin material to 160°C or higher, the adhesion of the vapor deposition film can be further improved, and the gas barrier property can be further improved. Also, when a sealant layer is laminated, the adhesion to the sealant layer can be improved, and the laminate strength of the packaging container produced by this laminate can be further improved.

[0051] The melting point of the high melting point resin material is preferably 265°C or lower, more preferably 260°C or lower, and even more preferably 250°C or lower. By setting the melting point of the high melting point resin material to 265°C or lower, the film-forming property of the substrate can be improved.

[0052] The difference between the melting point of the high melting point resin material contained in the surface resin layer and the melting point of the polyethylene contained in the polyethylene resin layer is preferably 20 to 80 °C, more preferably 20 to 60 °C. When the difference between the melting point of the high melting point resin material contained in the surface resin layer and the melting point of the polyethylene contained in the polyethylene resin layer is 20 °C or more, the adhesion of the vapor deposition film can be further improved, and the gas barrier property of the substrate on which the vapor deposition film is formed can be further improved. Further, when the sealant layer is laminated, the adhesion to the sealant layer can be improved, and the laminate strength of the packaging container produced by this laminate can be further improved. In addition, when the difference between the melting point of the high melting point resin material contained in the surface resin layer and the melting point of the polyethylene contained in the polyethylene resin layer is 80 °C or less, the film forming property of the substrate can be further improved.

[0053] In one embodiment, the high melting point resin material is composed of a polymer having a polar group. Since the high melting point resin material is composed of a polymer having a polar group, the adhesion to the vapor deposition film can be further improved.

[0054] In the present invention, the polar group refers to a group containing one or more heteroatoms, and examples thereof include an ester group, an epoxy group, a hydroxyl group, an amino group, an amide group, a carboxyl group, a carbonyl group, a carboxylic anhydride group, a sulfone group, a thiol group, and a halogen group. Among these, from the viewpoint of the laminate strength of the packaging container, a hydroxyl group, an ester group, an amino group, an amide group, a carboxyl group, and a carbonyl group are preferable, and a hydroxyl group is more preferable.

[0055] Examples of the high melting point resin material include vinyl resin, polyamide, polyimide, polyester, (meth)acrylic resin, cellulose resin, polyolefin resin, and ionomer resin.

[0056] In the present invention, a resin material having a melting point of 150°C or higher and having a polar group is particularly preferred. Amide resins such as ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer, polyvinyl alcohol, nylon 6, nylon 6,6, nylon 6-nylon 6,6 copolymer, MXD nylon, and amorphous nylon are preferred, and ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer and amide resin are particularly preferred. By using such a resin material, the adhesion of the vapor deposition film formed on the surface resin layer can be significantly improved, and the gas barrier property can be effectively enhanced.

[0057] The content of the high melting point resin material in the surface resin layer is preferably 70% by mass or more, more preferably 80% by mass or more, and still more preferably 90% by mass or more. By setting the content of the high melting point resin material in the surface resin layer to 70% by mass or more, the adhesion of the vapor deposition film formed on the surface resin layer can be significantly improved, and the gas barrier property of the substrate on which the vapor deposition film is formed can be effectively enhanced.

[0058] Within a range not impairing the characteristics of the present invention, the surface resin layer may contain a resin material other than the high melting point resin material. From the viewpoint of adhesion to the vapor deposition film, it is preferable that the surface resin layer does not contain a resin material other than the high melting point resin material.

[0059] Also, within a range not impairing the characteristics of the present invention, the surface resin layer can contain additives, for example, crosslinking agents, antioxidants, antiblocking agents, slip agents, ultraviolet absorbers, light stabilizers, fillers, reinforcing agents, antistatic agents, pigments, and modifying resins.

[0060] The thickness of the surface resin layer is preferably 0.1 μm or more and 5 μm or less, and more preferably 0.1 μm or more and 4 μm or less. By setting the thickness of the surface resin layer to 0.1 μm or more, the adhesion of the vapor deposition film can be further improved, and the gas barrier property of the substrate on which the vapor deposition film is formed can be further improved. Further, when the sealant layer is laminated, the adhesion to the sealant layer can be improved, and the laminate strength of the packaging container produced by this laminate can be further improved. Also, by setting the thickness of the surface resin layer to 5 μm or less, it can be used as a substrate suitable for producing a single-material packaging container. Furthermore, the film-forming property and processing suitability of the substrate can be further improved.

[0061] Also, the surface resin layer provided on the substrate may be subjected to a surface treatment. Thereby, the adhesion to an adjacent layer can be improved. The method of the surface treatment is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include physical treatments such as corona discharge treatment, ozone treatment, low-temperature plasma treatment using oxygen gas and / or nitrogen gas, glow discharge treatment, and chemical treatments such as oxidation treatment using chemical agents.

[0062] The thickness of the surface resin layer is preferably 0.1 μm or more and 5 μm or less, and more preferably 0.1 μm or more and 4 μm or less. By setting the thickness of the surface resin layer to 0.1 μm or more, the adhesion of the vapor deposition film can be further improved, and the gas barrier property of the substrate on which the vapor deposition film is formed can be further improved. Further, when the sealant layer is laminated, the adhesion to the sealant layer can be improved, and the laminate strength of the packaging container produced by this laminate can be further improved. Also, by setting the thickness of the surface resin layer to 5 μm or less, it can be used as a substrate suitable for producing a single-material packaging container. Furthermore, the film-forming property and processing suitability of the substrate can be further improved.

[0063] Also, the surface resin layer provided on the substrate may be subjected to a surface treatment. Thereby, the adhesion to an adjacent layer can be improved. The method of surface treatment is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include physical treatments such as corona discharge treatment, ozone treatment, low-temperature plasma treatment using oxygen gas and / or nitrogen gas, glow discharge treatment, and chemical treatments such as oxidation treatment using chemical agents.

[0064] (Adhesive resin layer) In one embodiment, the substrate can include an adhesive resin layer between the polyethylene resin layer and the surface resin layer, whereby the adhesion between these layers can be improved.

[0065] The adhesive resin layer can be formed by using an adhesive resin such as polyether, polyester, silicone resin, epoxy resin, polyurethane, vinyl resin, phenolic resin, and polyolefin. Among the above, since the laminate of the present invention can be made into a configuration more suitable for a monomaterial packaging container, polyolefin and its acid-modified product are preferable, and polyethylene and its acid-modified product are particularly preferable. As the adhesive polyethylene, commercially available products can be used. For example, the Admer series manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. can be used.

[0066] The thickness of the adhesive resin layer is not particularly limited, but can be, for example, 1 μm or more and 15 μm or less. By setting the thickness of the adhesive resin layer to 1 μm or more, the adhesion between the polyethylene resin layer and the surface resin layer can be further improved. By setting the thickness of the adhesive layer to 15 μm or less, the processability of the substrate can be improved.

[0067] In one embodiment, the substrate is subjected to a stretching treatment, and the stretching treatment may be uniaxial stretching or biaxial stretching. The stretching ratios in the longitudinal direction (MD direction) and the transverse direction (TD direction) of the substrate are preferably 2 times or more and 15 times or less, and preferably 5 times or more and 13 times or less. By setting the draw ratio to 2 times or more, the strength and heat resistance of the base material can be further improved. Also, the printability on the base material can be improved. Also, from the viewpoint of the breaking limit of the base material, the draw ratio is preferably 15 times or less.

[0068] In one embodiment, the base material is a coextruded film, which can be produced by forming a film using the T-die method or the inflation method or the like, making it into a resin film, and then stretching it. By forming a film by the inflation method, stretching of the resin film can be performed simultaneously.

[0069] (First sealant layer and second sealant layer) The sealant layer contains the same resin as the polyethylene resin layer of the base material, that is, polyethylene resin. A laminate having such a configuration can be suitably used as a laminate for producing a monomaterial packaging container. As the polyethylene resin, high-density polyethylene resin (HDPE), medium-density polyethylene resin (MDPE), low-density polyethylene resin (LDPE), linear low-density polyethylene resin (LLDPE), and ultra-low-density polyethylene resin (VLDPE) can be used. Also, as the polyethylene resin, a copolymer of ethylene and other monomers can be used. Furthermore, as the polyethylene resin, a polyethylene resin derived from biomass or a polyethylene resin recycled mechanically or chemically can be used.

[0070] Within a range not impairing the characteristics of the present invention, the sealant layer can contain the above additives.

[0071] The sealant layer may have a single-layer structure or a multilayer structure. In one embodiment, the sealant layer includes a layer made of a low-density polyethylene resin, a layer made of a high-density polyethylene resin, and a layer made of a low-density polyethylene resin. By adopting such a configuration, the heat sealability and strength can be improved.

[0072] The thickness of the sealant layer is preferably 20 μm or more and 100 μm or less, and more preferably 30 μm or more and 70 μm or less. By setting the thickness of the sealant layer to 20 μm or more, the lamination strength of the packaging container can be further improved. Also, by setting the thickness of the sealant layer to 100 μm or less, the moldability of the laminate can be improved, and the packaging container can be manufactured more easily.

[0073] The sealant layer may have a printing layer on its surface, and the image formed on the printing layer is not particularly limited, and characters, patterns, symbols, and combinations thereof are represented. The formation of the printing layer on the sealant layer can be performed using biomass-derived ink. Thereby, the environmental load can be reduced. The method for forming the printing layer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include conventionally known printing methods such as the gravure printing method, the offset printing method, and the flexographic printing method.

[0074] The sealant layer can be laminated with a base material or the like via the following melt-extruded resin layer or adhesive layer.

[0075] The first sealant layer and the second sealant layer included in the laminate of the present invention may have the same configuration or different configurations.

[0076] (Vapor deposition film) The laminate of the present invention includes a vapor deposition film adjacent to the surface resin layer on the surface resin layer. In the laminate of the present invention, the vapor deposition film and the surface resin layer have high adhesion and extremely high gas barrier properties, specifically, oxygen barrier properties and water vapor barrier properties. In addition, since the laminate includes a vapor deposition film, the packaging container produced using the laminate can suppress the mass reduction of the contents filled therein.

[0077] The vapor deposition film can be a vapor deposition film of one or more inorganic substances or inorganic oxides such as silicon (Si), aluminum (Al), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), potassium (K), tin (Sn), sodium (Na), boron (B), titanium (Ti), lead (Pb), zirconium (Zr), yttrium (Y), etc. The vapor deposition film can have a two-layer or more structure, and may be composed of the same material or different materials. Among the above, from the viewpoints of adhesion to the surface resin layer and gas barrier properties, the vapor deposition film is preferably composed of aluminum, aluminum oxide (alumina) or silicon oxide (silica). Further, by using a vapor deposition film composed of aluminum, the glossiness of the packaging container can be improved, and its design can be improved.

[0078] The surface of the vapor deposition film is preferably subjected to the above surface treatment. Thereby, the adhesion to an adjacent layer can be improved.

[0079] Further, the thickness of the vapor deposition film is preferably 1 nm or more and 150 nm or less, more preferably 5 nm or more and 60 nm or less, and even more preferably 10 nm or more and 40 nm or less. By setting the thickness of the vapor deposition film to 1 nm or more, the oxygen barrier property and water vapor barrier property of the laminate can be further improved. In addition, by setting the thickness of the vapor deposition film to 150 nm or less, a laminate suitable for producing a monomaterial packaging container can be obtained. Furthermore, the generation of cracks in the vapor deposition film can be prevented.

[0080] As a method for forming a vapor deposition film, a conventionally known method can be adopted. For example, physical vapor deposition methods (Physical Vapor Deposition method, PVD method) such as vacuum evaporation method, sputtering method, ion plating method, or chemical vapor deposition methods (Chemical Vapor Deposition method, CVD method) such as plasma chemical vapor deposition method, thermal chemical vapor deposition method, photo-chemical vapor deposition method, etc. can be mentioned. Hereinafter, an embodiment of the method for forming a vapor deposition film will be shown, but the method for forming a vapor deposition film is not limited thereto.

[0081] As an apparatus used for the method for forming a vapor deposition film by PVD method, a vacuum film forming apparatus with plasma assist can be used. An embodiment of the film forming method of a vapor deposition film using a vacuum film forming apparatus with plasma assist will be described below. In one embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the vacuum film forming apparatus includes a vacuum chamber A, a substrate 10, an unwinding section B, a film forming drum C, a winding section D, a conveying roll E, an evaporation source F, a reaction gas supply section G, a deposition prevention box H, a vapor deposition material I, and a plasma gun J. Note that FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view in the XZ plane direction of the vacuum film forming apparatus, and FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view in the XY plane direction of the vacuum film forming apparatus. As shown in FIG. 2, in the upper part of the vacuum chamber A, the substrate 10 wound around the film forming drum C is arranged with its surface resin layer facing downward, and below the film forming drum C in the vacuum chamber A, a deposition prevention box H grounded electrically is arranged. The evaporation source F is arranged on the bottom surface of the deposition prevention box H. The film forming drum C is arranged in the vacuum chamber A such that the surface resin layer of the substrate 10 wound around the film forming drum C is positioned at a position facing the upper surface of the evaporation source F with a certain interval therebetween. In addition, conveying rolls E are arranged between the unwinding section B and the film forming drum C, and between the film forming drum C and the winding section D. Note that the vacuum chamber is connected to a vacuum pump (not shown). The evaporation source F is for holding the vapor deposition material I and includes a heating device (not shown). The reaction gas supply unit G is a part that supplies a reaction gas (such as oxygen, nitrogen, helium, argon, and a mixed gas thereof) that reacts with the evaporated vapor deposition material. The vapor deposition material I heated and evaporated from the evaporation source F is irradiated onto the surface resin layer of the base material 10, and at the same time, plasma is irradiated from the plasma gun J onto the surface resin layer, and a vapor deposition film is formed. Details of this formation method are disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2011-214089.

[0082] As the plasma generation device used in the plasma chemical vapor deposition method, devices such as a high-frequency plasma, a pulse wave plasma, and a microwave plasma can be used. Also, a device having two or more film formation chambers may be used. The device preferably includes a vacuum pump and can maintain each film formation chamber in a vacuum state. The degree of vacuum in each film formation chamber is preferably 1×10~1×10 -6 Pa.

[0084] (Melt-extruded resin layer and adhesive layer) In one embodiment, the laminate of the present invention includes a melt-extruded resin layer or an adhesive layer between the first sealant layer and the vapor deposition film, or between the substrate and the second sealant layer. As materials constituting the melt-extruded resin layer and the adhesive layer, conventionally known resin materials and adhesives can be used. From the viewpoint of recyclability, it is preferable to use a polyethylene resin or a polyethylene-based adhesive to form the melt-extruded resin layer and the adhesive layer.

[0085] The thicknesses of the melt-extruded resin layer and the adhesive layer are not particularly limited, and for example, they can be 1 to 30 μm.

[0086] (Barrier coat layer) The laminate of the present invention can further include a barrier coat layer on the vapor deposition film. That is, by providing a barrier coat layer between the first sealant layer and the vapor deposition film, the gas barrier property of the laminate can be further improved.

[0087] In one embodiment, the barrier coat layer is composed of a gas barrier resin such as ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH), polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylonitrile, nylon 6, nylon 6,6, and polymetaxylylene adipamide (MXD6), polyester resin, polyurethane resin, and (meth)acrylic resin.

[0088] The thickness of the barrier coat layer is preferably 0.01 μm or more and 10 μm or less, and more preferably 0.1 μm or more and 5 μm or less. By setting the thickness of the barrier coat layer to 0.01 μm or more, the gas barrier property can be further improved.

Further, it can be made into the laminate 20 that can be suitably used for manufacturing a monomaterial packaging container.

[0089] The barrier coat layer can be formed by dissolving or dispersing the above material in water or an appropriate solvent, followed by coating and drying.

[0090] In another embodiment, the barrier coat layer is a gas barrier coating film containing at least one resin composition such as a hydrolyzate of a metal alkoxide or a hydrolytic condensate of a metal alkoxide, which is obtained by polycondensing a mixture of a metal alkoxide and a water-soluble polymer by a sol-gel method in the presence of a sol-gel method catalyst, water, an organic solvent, etc. By providing such a barrier coat layer on the vapor deposition film, the occurrence of cracks in the vapor deposition film can be effectively prevented.

[0091] In one embodiment, the metal alkoxide is represented by the following general formula. R 1 n M(OR 2 ) m (However, in the formula, R 1 , R 2 each represent an organic group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, M represents a metal atom, n represents an integer of 0 or more, m represents an integer of 1 or more, and n + m represents the valence of M.)

[0092] As the metal atom M, for example, silicon, zirconium, titanium, aluminum, etc. can be used. Also, as the organic groups represented by R 1 and R 2 , for example, alkyl groups such as methyl group, ethyl group, n-propyl group, i-propyl group, n-butyl group and i-butyl group can be mentioned.

[0095] As the water-soluble polymer, polyvinyl alcohol and ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer are preferable, and from the viewpoints of oxygen barrier property, water vapor barrier property, water resistance, and weather resistance, it is preferable to use them in combination.

[0096] The thickness of the gas barrier coating film is preferably 0.01 μm or more and 10 μm or less, and more preferably 0.1 μm or more and 5 μm or less. Thereby, the gas barrier property can be further improved. By setting the thickness of the gas barrier coating film to 0.01 μm or more, the oxygen barrier property and water vapor barrier property of the barrier laminate can be improved. Also, the generation of cracks in the vapor deposition film can be prevented. By setting the thickness of the gas barrier coating film to 10 μm or less, a laminate 20 that can be suitably used for producing a single-material packaging container can be obtained.

[0097] The gas barrier coating film can be formed by applying a composition containing the above materials by a conventionally known means such as roll coating with a gravure roll coater, spray coating, spin coating, dipping, brush, bar coating, applicator, etc., and subjecting the composition to polycondensation by the sol-gel method. As the sol-gel method catalyst, an acid or amine-based compound is suitable.

[0098] The above composition may further contain an acid. The acid is used as a catalyst for the sol-gel method, mainly as a catalyst for hydrolysis of alkoxides and silane coupling agents, etc. As the acid, mineral acids such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and nitric acid, and organic acids such as acetic acid and tartaric acid are used.

[0099] Also, the above composition may contain an organic solvent. As the organic solvent, for example, methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, n-propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, n-butanol, etc. can be used.

[0100] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a method for forming a gas barrier coating film will be described below. First, a metal alkoxide, a water-soluble polymer, a sol-gel method catalyst, water, an organic solvent, and, if necessary, a silane coupling agent, etc. are mixed to prepare a composition. In the composition, a polycondensation reaction gradually proceeds. Next, the composition is applied and dried on the vapor deposition film by the above conventionally known method. By this drying, the polycondensation reaction of the alkoxide and the water-soluble polymer (and also the silane coupling agent if the composition contains a silane coupling agent) further proceeds, and a layer of a composite polymer is formed. Finally, by heating, a gas barrier coating film can be formed.
