[0010] [Figure 1] 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating an example of a laminated film according to an embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating an example of a laminated film according to an embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0011] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Note that the drawings are schematic diagrams and do not correspond to actual dimensional proportions. In this specification, "A to B" indicating a numerical range means A or more and B or less unless otherwise specified.
[0012] In this embodiment, low-density polyethylene (LDPE) has a density of 0.910 g / cm 3More than 0.930g / cm 3 Medium density polyethylene (MDPE) refers to polyethylene having a density less than 0.930 g / cm 3 More than 0.942g / cm 3 High density polyethylene (HDPE) refers to polyethylene having a density less than 0.942 g / cm 3 It refers to polyethylene with a density equal to or greater than 100%. Low-density polyethylene and medium-density polyethylene with little branching are referred to as linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE).
[0013] (Laminated film) 1 and 2 are cross-sectional views schematically illustrating an example of a laminate film according to the present embodiment. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the laminate film 100 of the present embodiment includes, in this order, a core layer 11 containing high-density polyethylene, a skin layer 13 containing linear low-density polyethylene, and a barrier resin layer 30. When the content of linear low-density polyethylene in the core layer 11 relative to the entire core layer 11 is defined as W1 and the content of linear low-density polyethylene in the skin layer 13 relative to the entire skin layer 13 is defined as W2, the laminate film 100 of the present embodiment satisfies the relationship W2 > W1. That is, when the contents (mass %) of linear low-density polyethylene in the layers are compared, the content in the skin layer 13 is greater than the content in the core layer 11.
[0014] The present inventors have discovered that in a laminate film 100 comprising a core layer 11 containing high-density polyethylene and a barrier resin layer 30, the interlayer peel strength can be improved by providing a skin layer 13 containing linear low-density polyethylene between the core layer 11 and the barrier resin layer 30, and have completed the present invention. More specifically, when the content of linear low-density polyethylene in the core layer 11 relative to the entire core layer 11 is defined as W1 and the content of linear low-density polyethylene in the skin layer 13 relative to the entire skin layer 13 is defined as W2, the inventors have discovered that by satisfying the relationship W2 > W1, the interlayer peel strength can be improved when compared between films having the same configuration except for the core layer 11 and the skin layer 13.
[0015] The mechanism by which the interlayer peel strength can be improved by satisfying the relationship W2>W1 is not entirely clear, but according to the investigations of the present inventors, it is presumed as follows.
[0016] First, it is believed that satisfying the relationship W2>W1 makes it possible to obtain a film (a film in which the core layer 11 and the skin layer 13 are laminated) with smaller surface roughness on the side of the skin layer 13 opposite to the core layer 11 (the surface of the skin layer 13 on the barrier resin layer 30 side). The mechanism behind this is not entirely clear, but one possible factor is the difference in softening point or glass transition temperature between the core layer 11 and the skin layer 13, for example.
[0017] Next, it is believed that the smaller surface roughness of the surface can improve the bonding between the skin layer 13 and a layer laminated on the surface (for example, the barrier resin layer 30 or the anchor coat layer 50 described below). In this way, it is believed that the bonding between the barrier resin layer 30 and a layer adjacent to the barrier resin layer 30 (for example, the skin layer 13 or the anchor coat layer 50) can be improved in the laminate film 100. Therefore, when compared between films having the same configuration except for the core layer 11 and the skin layer 13, it is believed that a laminate film 100 with improved interlayer peel strength can be obtained.
[0018] In this embodiment, the term "interlayer peel strength" refers to the peel strength between the barrier resin layer 30 and a layer adjacent to the barrier resin layer 30. That is, in this embodiment, the term "interlayer peel strength" includes the peel strength between the barrier resin layer 30 and the skin layer 13, and the peel strength between the barrier resin layer 30 and the anchor coat layer 50. In addition, when the barrier resin layer 30 is the outermost layer of the laminate film 100 and the laminate film 100 is laminated with another film to form a multilayer film, the term "interlayer peel strength" also includes the peel strength between the barrier resin layer 30 and another film.
[0019] It is preferable that the skin layer 13 and the core layer 11 are in direct contact with each other, which simplifies the manufacturing process of the laminated film 100.
[0020] At least one of the core layer 11 and the skin layer 13 preferably comprises a stretched film layer, more preferably a uniaxially stretched film layer or a biaxially stretched film layer, and even more preferably a biaxially stretched film layer. It is also preferable that both the core layer 11 and the skin layer 13 comprise stretched film layers, more preferably a uniaxially stretched film layer or a biaxially stretched film layer, and even more preferably a biaxially stretched film layer. This allows the laminate film 100 to achieve a good balance of various performance characteristics, such as thermal dimensional stability, film formability, heat resistance, barrier properties, mechanical properties, and rigidity.
[0021] The density of the core layer 11, measured in accordance with JIS K 7112:1999, is preferably 0.942 g / cm 3 More than 0.970g / cm 3 or less, more preferably 0.945 g / cm 3 More than 0.965g / cm 3 or less, more preferably 0.950 g / cm 3 More than 0.960g / cm 3 The interlayer peel strength can be further improved by setting the density of the core layer 11 within the above range. Furthermore, by setting the density of the core layer 11 within the above range, the laminated film 100 can achieve a good balance of various performance characteristics such as thermal dimensional stability, film formability, heat resistance, mechanical properties, and rigidity.
[0022] The density of the skin layer 13, measured in accordance with JIS K 7112:1999, is preferably 0.910 g / cm 3 More than 0.942g / cm 3 less than 0.920 g / cm 3 More than 0.942g / cm 3 less than 0.930 g / cm 3 More than 0.942g / cm 3 By setting the density of the skin layer 13 within the above range, the peel strength between layers can be further improved. Furthermore, by setting the density of the skin layer 13 within the above range, the laminated film 100 can achieve a good balance of various performance characteristics such as thermal dimensional stability, film formability, heat resistance, mechanical properties, and rigidity.
[0023] The density of the core layer 11 minus the density of the skin layer 13 is preferably 0.005 g / cm 3 More preferably, 0.010 g / cm 3 More preferably, 0.013 g / cm 3 That's all. By setting the value obtained by subtracting the density of the skin layer 13 from the density of the core layer 11 to be equal to or greater than the above-mentioned lower limit, the peel strength between the layers can be further improved. Furthermore, by setting the value obtained by subtracting the density of the skin layer 13 from the density of the core layer 11 to be equal to or greater than the above-mentioned lower limit, the laminate film 100 can achieve a good balance among various performances such as thermal dimensional stability, film formability, heat resistance, mechanical properties, and rigidity. The upper limit of the value obtained by subtracting the density of the skin layer 13 from the density of the core layer 11 is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 0.100 g / cm 3 It may be less than 0.050 g / cm 3 It may be less than 0.030 g / cm 3 It may be 0.020 g / cm or less. 3 It may be the following:

By setting the content of the polyethylene polymer in the skin layer 13 relative to the entire skin layer 13 to be equal to or greater than the above-mentioned lower limit, the laminate film 100 can be well balanced in various performance characteristics such as thermal dimensional stability, film formability, heat resistance, mechanical properties, and rigidity. Furthermore, by setting the content of the polyethylene polymer in the skin layer 13 relative to the entire skin layer 13 to be equal to or less than the above-mentioned upper limit, the laminate film 100 can be improved in performance balance between processability and continuous productivity.

[0096] 4. Preparation of Laminated Film In each example and comparative example, a barrier resin layer was formed on the corona-treated surface of the skin layer 1, or on the surface of the anchor coat layer if an anchor coat layer was formed, to produce a laminate film. In any of the examples and comparative examples, no curling or film cracking of the barrier resin layer was observed. The methods for forming the anchor coat layer and the barrier resin layer are described below.
[0097] (1) Method for forming anchor coat layer A solvent-based polyisocyanate (manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., product name: Takenate D-110N) was coated onto the skin layer 1 using a Mayer bar, and the coating was dried at 100°C for 15 seconds to obtain a coating weight of 0.1 g / m. 2 An anchor coat layer of the above was formed. (2) Method for forming a barrier resin layer (Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2: Method A) Polyacrylic acid (manufactured by Toagosei Co., Ltd., product name: AC-10H, weight average molecular weight: 800,000), 10 mass% aqueous ammonia (manufactured by Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd.), and purified water were mixed so that the ammonia concentration was 250 equivalent % relative to the carboxyl groups of the polyacrylic acid, thereby obtaining an aqueous solution of ammonium polyacrylate with a concentration of 7.29 mass %. Next, zinc oxide (Kanto Chemical Co., Ltd.) and ammonium carbonate were added to the resulting aqueous ammonium polyacrylate solution, and the mixture was stirred to obtain a mixed solution (1-A). The amount of zinc oxide added was such that the ratio (moles of zinc oxide in coating material A) / (moles of -COO- groups in polyacrylic acid in coating material A) was 0.475. The amount of ammonium carbonate added was such that the ratio (moles of ammonium carbonate in coating material A) / (moles of zinc oxide in coating material A) was 1.5. Next, polyethyleneimine (manufactured by Nippon Shokubai Co., Ltd., trade name: SP-200, number average molecular weight: 10,000) was added to the purified water to obtain a 10% by mass aqueous polyethyleneimine solution. Next, purified water was added to low-polymerized ammonium polyphosphate (manufactured by Amada Co., Ltd., product number: water-soluble ammonium polyphosphate flame retardant NNA20, P2O5 content 59%) to obtain a 25% by mass aqueous solution of low-polymerized ammonium polyphosphate. Next, the mixed solution (1-A), the polyethyleneimine aqueous solution, and the low-polymerized ammonium polyphosphate aqueous solution as a phosphorus introduction source were mixed in a ratio such that (the number of moles of amino groups contained in polyethyleneimine in coating material A) / (the number of moles of -COO- groups contained in polyacrylic acid in coating material A) was 0.55, and (the number of moles of P contained in polyphosphate compound or its salt in coating material A) / (the number of moles of -COO- groups contained in polyacrylic acid in coating material A) was 0.025, to obtain mixed solution (2-A). Purified water was then added to the mixture (2-A) so that the solids concentration was 1.5% by mass, and the mixture was stirred until a uniform solution was obtained. A surfactant (polyoxyethylene lauryl ether, manufactured by Kao Corporation, trade name: Emulgen 120) was then added to the mixture (2-A) so that the solids concentration was 0.3% by mass, thereby preparing coating material A. Coating material A was applied to the skin layer 1 or the anchor coat layer with a Mayer bar and heated in an oven at 70°C for 60 seconds to form a 300 nm thick barrier resin layer.
[0098] (Example 2 and Comparative Example 3: Method B) 77 g of water, 13.4 g of isopropyl alcohol, and 1.8 g of 0.5 N hydrochloric acid were mixed to obtain a solution with a pH of 2.2. 35 g of tetraethoxysilane and 1.8 g of a silane coupling agent (manufactured by Shin-Etsu Silicones Co., Ltd., trade name: KBM-403) were mixed with this solution to obtain solution (1-B). Next, 5.9 g of polyvinyl alcohol (manufactured by Nippon Vinegar Vipbal Co., Ltd., trade name: PVA-VI), 129.6 g of water, and 6.8 g of isopropyl alcohol were mixed to obtain a solution (2-B). Solution (1-B) and solution (2-B) were mixed at a weight ratio of 6.5:3.5 to prepare coating material B. Coating material B was coated onto skin layer 1 or the anchor coat layer with a Mayer bar and heated in an oven at 70°C for 60 seconds to form a 300 nm thick barrier resin layer.
[0099] (Example 3 and Comparative Example 4: Method C) Polyvinylidene chloride resin (manufactured by Asahi Kasei Corporation, product name: F216) was dissolved in a mixed organic solvent of toluene and methyl ethyl ketone (weight ratio: toluene / methyl ethyl ketone = 1 / 2) to prepare a polyvinylidene chloride resin solution (solid content 5% by mass), which gave coating material C. Coating material C was coated onto skin layer 1 or the anchor coat layer with a Mayer bar and heated in an oven at 70°C for 60 seconds to form a 500 nm thick barrier resin layer.
[0100] (Example 4 and Comparative Examples 5 and 6: Method D) A water-dispersible polyurethane resin (manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., product name: Takelac WPB-341) was diluted with a solvent (weight ratio: water / isopropyl alcohol = 9 / 1) to prepare a solution with a solids content of 3.5 mass%, yielding Coating Material D. Coating Material D was coated onto the skin layer 1 or anchor coat layer with a Mayer bar and heated in an oven at 70°C for 60 seconds to form a 500 nm thick barrier resin layer.
[0101] 5. Fabrication of Multilayer Films An adhesive (12 parts by mass of a polyester adhesive (Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., product name: Takelac A-310), 1 part by mass of an isocyanate curing agent (Mitsui Chemicals, Inc., product name: Takenate A-3), and 7 parts by mass of ethyl acetate) was applied to one side of a 50 μm-thick unstretched LLDPE film (manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals Tohcello, Inc., product name: TUXMCS). After drying, the laminate film and the LLDPE film were laminated (dry laminated) so that the surface of the barrier resin layer of the laminate film was in contact with the adhesive-coated surface of the LLDPE film, thereby obtaining a multilayer film.
[0102] 6. Evaluation of multilayer films (1) Peel strength Using the resulting multilayer film, the 180° peel strength and 90° peel strength between the laminated film and the LLDPE film were measured at 25°C and a pulling rate of 300 mm / min.
[0103] (2) Moisture permeability The resulting multilayer film was folded over so that the LLDPE film was on the inside, and the two sides were heat-sealed to form a bag. Calcium chloride was then placed inside the resulting bag. The other side of the bag was then heat-sealed to form a bag with a surface area of 0.01 m. 2 The bags were then stored at 40°C and 90% RH for 300 hours. The weight of the calcium chloride was measured before and after storage, and the moisture permeability was calculated from the difference.
[0104] (3) Oxygen permeability The oxygen permeability (mL / (m 2·day·MPa) was measured in accordance with JIS K7126:2006 under conditions of 20°C and 90% RH.
[0105] (4) Evaluation of boiling treatment and multilayer film after boiling treatment The obtained multilayer film was subjected to a boiling treatment for 30 minutes at 85° C. The multilayer film after the boiling treatment was used to perform evaluations in the same manner as in (1) to (3). In any of the Examples and Comparative Examples, no delamination between the laminated film and the LLDPE film was observed after the boiling treatment.
[0106] The evaluation results of each of the examples and comparative examples are shown in Tables 2 to 5.
