Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a laminated container for boiling sterilization and a method for producing the same. [Background technology]
[0002] Gas barrier composite films have been known as packaging materials. A gas barrier composite film includes, for example, a plastic substrate, a metal-deposited film, and an adhesive layer that bonds them together. For example, the following laminated barrier films have been proposed as gas barrier composite films.
[0003] The laminated barrier film comprises multiple barrier films. The multiple barrier films are laminated via an adhesive layer. More specifically, each barrier film comprises a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, an organic film obtained by radical polymerization, and an inorganic film obtained by metal sputtering. The surface of one barrier film opposite the inorganic film side (PET film surface) is laminated to the inorganic film side surface of another barrier film (inorganic film surface) via a urethane adhesive. Furthermore, an ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE) film is laminated to the inorganic film side surface of the barrier film via an acrylic adhesive. This results in a laminated barrier film (see, for example, Patent Document 1 (Example 3)). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

The high-molecular-weight polyol is an organic compound (polymer) having two or more hydroxyl groups in the molecule and having a relatively high molecular weight. The number-average molecular weight of the high-molecular-weight polyol is, for example, 400 or more, for example, 20,000 or less. The number-average molecular weight can be determined as a polystyrene-equivalent molecular weight by a known gel permeation chromatography method (the same applies hereinafter).
[0056] The high-molecular-weight polyol contains a polyester polyol as an essential component, in other words, the polyol component (main component) contains a polyester polyol as an essential component.
[0057] Examples of polyester polyols include condensation polyester polyols and ring-opening polyester polyols. Examples of condensation polyester polyols include condensates of low-molecular-weight polyols and polybasic acids. Examples of ring-opening polyester polyols include ring-opening polymers of lactones and / or lactides. Examples of polyester polyols include preferably condensation polyester polyols. That is, the polyester polyol preferably contains a condensate of low-molecular-weight polyols and polybasic acids.
[0058] Low-molecular-weight polyols are organic compounds having two or more hydroxyl groups in the molecule and a relatively low molecular weight.

Among the dihydric alcohols, examples of branched chain dihydric alcohols include neopentyl glycol and 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol. As the low molecular weight polyol, neopentyl glycol is particularly preferred from the viewpoints of stain resistance, water resistance, and moist heat resistance.
[0060] Examples of polybasic acids include saturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, unsaturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, aromatic dicarboxylic acids, alicyclic dicarboxylic acids, other carboxylic acids, acid anhydrides, and acid halides. Examples of saturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acids include oxalic acid, malonic acid, succinic acid, methylsuccinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, 1,1-dimethyl-1,3-dicarboxypropane, 3-methyl-3-ethylglutaric acid, azelaic acid, and sebacic acid.

[0061] The method for condensing a low-molecular-weight polyol with a polybasic acid is not particularly limited. For example, a low-molecular-weight polyol and a polybasic acid are subjected to ester condensation in an appropriate ratio. In the ester condensation, a known esterification catalyst can be used as needed. This produces a condensation polyester polyol. Alternatively, the condensation polyester polyol can be produced by, for example, transesterification of the alkyl ester of the polybasic acid described above with the low-molecular-weight polyol described above.
[0062] In terms of adhesive strength and boiling sterilization resistance, the number average molecular weight of the polyester polyol is, for example, 400 to 10,000, preferably 500 to 8,500, or more preferably 1,000 to 7,000.
[0063] In terms of adhesive strength and boiling sterilization resistance, the polyester polyol has an average number of hydroxyl groups of, for example, 2 to 6, preferably 2 to 4, and more preferably 3 to 4.
[0064] From the viewpoint of adhesive strength and boiling sterilization resistance, the polyester polyol preferably contains an aromatic ring. Examples of the aromatic ring include aromatic rings contained in the raw materials of the polyester polyol.
[0065] That is, when the polyester polyol is a condensation polyester polyol, from the viewpoint of boiling sterilization resistance, preferably, at least one of the low-molecular-weight polyol and the polybasic acid contains an aromatic ring.
[0066] An example of a low molecular weight polyol containing an aromatic ring is bisphenol A. An example of a polybasic acid containing an aromatic ring is aromatic dicarboxylic acid, more specifically, orthophthalic acid, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, toluene dicarboxylic acid, and naphthalenedicarboxylic acid. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Preferably, an aromatic ring-containing polybasic acid is used, more preferably orthophthalic acid, isophthalic acid, and terephthalic acid.

The aromatic ring concentration is the content (mmol) of aromatic rings relative to the total amount (g) of the polyester polyol, and is calculated from the raw materials and charging recipe of the polyester polyol.
[0068] The high molecular weight polyol can optionally contain other high molecular weight polyols. The other high molecular weight polyols are high molecular weight polyols other than polyester polyols. Examples of other high molecular weight polyols include polyether polyols, polycarbonate polyols, polyurethane polyols, epoxy polyols, vegetable oil polyols, polyolefin polyols, acrylic polyols, and vinyl monomer-modified polyols.

The polyol component can optionally contain the above-mentioned low molecular weight polyols. The polyol preferably does not contain low molecular weight polyols. The polyol component preferably consists of the above-mentioned polyester polyols.
[0069] (3) Polyisocyanate component (hardener) The polyisocyanate component contains, as an essential component, an isocyanurate derivative of hexamethylene diisocyanate.
[0070] Hexamethylene diisocyanate isocyanurate derivatives are isocyanurate derivatives obtained from hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI). Isocyanurate derivatives contain symmetric and asymmetric isocyanurate groups. In addition, isocyanurate derivatives contain no allophanate groups or allow the inclusion of trace amounts of allophanate groups.
[0071] The isocyanurate derivative of hexamethylene diisocyanate can be produced by a known method, for example, by subjecting hexamethylene diisocyanate to an isocyanuration reaction in the presence of a known isocyanuration catalyst (trimerization catalyst).
[0072] The reaction conditions for the isocyanuration reaction are appropriately set. For example, the atmospheric conditions are an inert gas atmosphere and normal pressure (atmospheric pressure). The reaction temperature is, for example, 50 to 150°C. The reaction time is, for example, 5 to 120 minutes. By the isocyanuration reaction, symmetrical and asymmetrical isocyanurate groups are formed, and an isocyanurate derivative of hexamethylene diisocyanate is obtained.
[0073] In addition, symmetric and asymmetric isocyanurate groups are more easily formed by urethane reaction. Therefore, in the production of isocyanurate derivatives of hexamethylene diisocyanate, alcohol is added as needed to cause the urethane reaction.
[0074] More specifically, examples of methods for producing an isocyanurate derivative of hexamethylene diisocyanate include a method in which hexamethylene diisocyanate and an alcohol are first subjected to a urethane reaction, and then the reaction product is subjected to an isocyanuration reaction in the presence of an isocyanuration catalyst. Also, examples of methods for producing an isocyanurate derivative of hexamethylene diisocyanate include a method in which hexamethylene diisocyanate is first isocyanurated in the presence of an isocyanuration catalyst, and then the reaction product is subjected to a urethane reaction with an alcohol. A preferred method is a method in which hexamethylene diisocyanate and an alcohol are first subjected to a urethane reaction, and then the reaction product is subjected to an isocyanuration reaction in the presence of an isocyanuration catalyst.
[0075] Examples of alcohols include known monohydric and dihydric alcohols. The amount of alcohol to be added is appropriately determined depending on the purpose and application. For example, the amount of alcohol is 0.1 to 5 parts by mass, preferably 0.5 to 3 parts by mass, per 100 parts by mass of hexamethylene diisocyanate.
[0076] The reaction conditions for the urethanization reaction are set appropriately. For example, the atmospheric conditions are an inert gas atmosphere and a normal pressure (atmospheric pressure) atmosphere. The reaction temperature is, for example, 20 to 100°C. The reaction time is, for example, 30 to 600 minutes. A urethane-modified product of hexamethylene diisocyanate is obtained by the urethanization reaction.
[0077] Next, in this method, the urethane-modified hexamethylene diisocyanate is subjected to the above-mentioned isocyanuration reaction, thereby obtaining an isocyanurate derivative of hexamethylene diisocyanate (an isocyanurate derivative of a urethane-modified hexamethylene diisocyanate).
[0078] In such cases, the isocyanurate derivative of hexamethylene diisocyanate may inevitably contain a trace amount of allophanate groups. The content of allophanate groups is, for example, less than 10 moles, preferably 5 moles or less, per 100 moles of symmetrical or asymmetrical isocyanurate groups. The content of allophanate groups is 0 moles or more per 100 moles of symmetrical or asymmetrical isocyanurate groups.
[0079] The isocyanurate derivative of hexamethylene diisocyanate is purified as necessary to remove unreacted hexamethylene diisocyanate. Purification methods include, for example, distillation and extraction, and preferably distillation. Distillation methods include, for example, thin film distillation (Smith distillation).

[0091] (5) Cured product of two-component curing polyurethane adhesive As described below, the two-component curing polyurethane adhesive is used in the production of laminated containers for boiling sterilization. More specifically, the cured product of the two-component curing polyurethane adhesive bonds the first substrate layer 2 to the metal vapor deposition layer 8 of the metal vapor deposition film 4. Furthermore, if necessary, the cured product of the two-component curing polyurethane adhesive bonds the second substrate layer 6 to the resin film 7 of the metal vapor deposition film 4.
[0092] From the viewpoint of adhesive strength and boiling sterilization resistance, the cured product of the two-component curing polyurethane adhesive has a predetermined tensile storage modulus (E').
[0093] In other words, the formulation of the two-component curing polyurethane adhesive (type of polyisocyanate component, type of polyol component, and blending ratio) is selected so that the cured product of the two-component curing polyurethane adhesive has a predetermined tensile storage modulus (E').

The difference between the tensile storage modulus (E') of the cured product of the two-component curing polyurethane adhesive at 60°C and the tensile storage modulus (E') of the cured product of the two-component curing polyurethane adhesive at 100°C is, for example, 1 x 10 5 Pa~10×10 5 Pa, preferably 2 x 10 5 Pa ~ 7 × 10 5 Pa, more preferably 3 x 10 5 Pa~6×10 5 Pa, more preferably 4 x 10 5 Pa~5×10 5 It is Pa.

[0100] 2. Manufacturing method of laminated container for boiling sterilization The laminated container for boiling sterilization is produced, for example, by the following method.
[0101] In this method, first, a two-component curing polyurethane adhesive, a first base material layer 2, and a metallized film 4 are prepared (preparation step). Fig. 2A shows the first base material layer 2. In Fig. 2A, the two-component curing polyurethane adhesive and the metallized film 4 are omitted.
[0102] Next, in this method, the first base layer 2 and the metal-deposited film 4 are bonded together with a two-component curing polyurethane adhesive (bonding step).
[0103] More specifically, in this step, the polyol component (main component) and polyisocyanate component (curing agent) of the two-component curing polyurethane adhesive are mixed together.
[0104] The mixing ratio of the polyol component (main component) and the polyisocyanate component (curing agent) is adjusted, for example, based on the mass ratio. More specifically, from the viewpoints of adhesive strength and boiling sterilization resistance, the amount of the polyol component per 1 mass part of the polyisocyanate component is, for example, 3 to 30 mass parts, preferably 5 to 20 mass parts, more preferably 8 to 15 mass parts.
[0105] The mixing ratio of the polyol component (base) and the polyisocyanate component (curing agent) may be adjusted based on the equivalent ratio (NCO / OH) of isocyanate groups to hydroxyl groups of the polyisocyanate component. More specifically, from the viewpoints of adhesive strength and boiling sterilization resistance, the equivalent ratio (NCO / OH) of isocyanate groups of the polyisocyanate component to hydroxyl groups of the polyol component is 1.2 to 6.0, preferably 1.5 to 5.0, more preferably 1.8 to 3.5, and even more preferably 2.0 to 2.5.
[0106] The mixture of the polyol component (main component) and the polyisocyanate component (curing agent) is an adhesive composition. The adhesive composition is preferably diluted with the above-mentioned solvent. The solid content concentration is appropriately set depending on the purpose and application.
[0107] 2B, in this step, for example, the adhesive composition is applied to one surface of the first base material layer 2 using a laminator, and the solvent is evaporated, thereby forming an uncured adhesive layer (first uncured adhesive layer) 9 on one surface of the first base material layer 2.
[0108] 2C, the uncured adhesive layer (first uncured adhesive layer) 9 is bonded to the metallized film 4. More specifically, the metallized film 4 is placed on the uncured adhesive layer 9 so that the metallized layer 8 and the uncured adhesive layer 9 are in contact with each other.
[0109] In this step, the metallized film 4 and the second base layer 6 are bonded together with a two-component curing polyurethane adhesive.
[0110] 2D, for example, the adhesive composition is applied to one surface of the resin film 7 of the metallized film 4 using a laminator, and the solvent is evaporated to form an uncured adhesive layer (second uncured adhesive layer) 9 on one surface of the resin film 7.
[0111] Next, in this step, as shown in FIG. 2E, the uncured adhesive layer (second uncured adhesive layer) 9 and the second base material layer 6 are bonded together by the method described above.
[0112] Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 2F, the uncured adhesive layers (first uncured adhesive layer and second uncured adhesive layer) 9 are aged at room temperature or under elevated temperature. The aging conditions are not particularly limited. The aging temperature is, for example, 20 to 80°C, preferably 40 to 60°C. The aging time is set appropriately.
[0113] This cures the uncured adhesive layer 9. As a result, a first adhesive layer (polyurethane adhesive layer) 3 is formed as a cured product of the two-component curing polyurethane adhesive. The first adhesive layer 3 then bonds the first base material layer 2 and the metallized film 4 together.
[0114] Furthermore, a second adhesive layer (polyurethane adhesive layer) 5 is formed as a cured product of the two-component curing polyurethane adhesive. The second adhesive layer 5 bonds the metallized film 4 and the second base material layer 6 together.
[0115] As a result, a laminate film (laminate) 1 is obtained that includes a first base material layer 2, a first adhesive layer 3, a metallized film 4, a second adhesive layer 5, and a second base material layer 6. In the laminate film 1, the first adhesive layer 3 and the first base material layer 2 are arranged so as to be in contact with each other. Furthermore, the first adhesive layer 3 and the metallized layer 8 are arranged so as to be in contact with each other. Furthermore, the resin film 7 and the second adhesive layer 5 are arranged so as to be in contact with each other. Furthermore, the second adhesive layer 5 and the second base material layer 6 are arranged so as to be in contact with each other.
[0116] Thereafter, although not shown, the laminate film 1 is processed into a container shape by a known method. As a result, a laminate container for boiling sterilization is obtained. The shape of the container is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include a bag shape, a pouch shape, a cup shape, and a bottle shape.
[0117] 3. Other embodiments In the above description, the first adhesive layer 3, the metal vapor deposition film 4, the second adhesive layer 5, and the second base material layer 6 are sequentially laminated and arranged only on one side (the upper side of the paper) of the first base material layer 2.
[0118] On the other hand, although not shown, the first adhesive layer 3, the metal vapor deposition film 4, the second adhesive layer 5, and the second base material layer 6 may be laminated and arranged sequentially on both sides of the first base material layer 2, one side (upper side of the paper) and the other side (lower side of the paper).
[0119] Furthermore, the laminate film 1 does not necessarily have to include the second adhesive layer 5 and the second base material layer 6. The laminate film 1 may include only the first base material layer 2, the first adhesive layer 3, and the metal-deposited film 4.
[0120] From the viewpoints of adhesive strength and boiling sterilization resistance, the laminate film 1 includes a second adhesive layer 5 and a second base material layer 6. Also, from the viewpoints of adhesive strength and boiling sterilization resistance, the first adhesive layer 3, the metallized film 4, the second adhesive layer 5, and the second base material layer 6 are laminated and arranged in this order only on one side (the upper side of the paper) of the first base material layer 2.
[0121] 4. Effects In the laminated container for boiling sterilization and the manufacturing method thereof described above, the first adhesive layer 3 is formed from a two-component curing polyurethane adhesive and is in contact with the metal vapor deposition layer 8.
[0122] In the two-component curing polyurethane adhesive, the polyol component contains a polyester polyol, and the polyisocyanate component contains an isocyanurate derivative of hexamethylene diisocyanate. The cured product of the two-component curing polyurethane adhesive has a tensile storage modulus (E') at 100°C within a specified range. Therefore, the laminated container for boiling sterilization has excellent boiling sterilization resistance.
[0123] Boiling sterilization is heat sterilization at a relatively low temperature (for example, 100° C. or lower). The heating temperature in boiling sterilization is, for example, 80 to 100° C., or preferably 90 to 100° C. The heating time in boiling sterilization is, for example, 0.1 to 12 hours, or preferably 0.5 to 3 hours. [Example]
[0124] Next, the present invention will be described based on examples and comparative examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples. Note that "parts" and "%" are by mass unless otherwise specified. Furthermore, specific numerical values such as blending ratios (content ratios), physical property values, and parameters used in the following description can be substituted with the corresponding upper limit values (numeric values defined as "equal to or less than") or lower limit values (numeric values defined as "equal to or more than" or "exceeding") of the blending ratios (content ratios), physical property values, parameters, etc. described in the above "Form for Carrying Out the Invention."
[0125] Example 1 As a two-component curing polyurethane adhesive, the following polyisocyanate component and the following polyol component were prepared.

[0127] 1 part by mass of the polyisocyanate component and 10 parts by mass of the polyol component were mixed to obtain 11 parts by mass of a mixture (equivalent ratio (NCO / OH) 2.0). Next, the mixture was diluted with a solvent (ethyl acetate) to a solids concentration of 25% by mass. This resulted in an adhesive composition.
[0128] Next, the adhesive composition was applied to the corona-treated surface of the nylon film under the following conditions to obtain a coating film. The coating film was left to stand at room temperature to volatilize the solvent. This resulted in an uncured adhesive layer (first uncured adhesive layer). Coating device; bar coater Basis weight: 3.5g / m 2 (solids) Coating thickness: 14 μm
[0129] Next, the aluminum vapor-deposited surface of the aluminum vapor-deposited PET film was bonded to the uncured adhesive layer (first uncured adhesive layer).
[0130] Next, the adhesive composition was applied to the PET (polyethylene terephthalate) surface of the aluminum-deposited PET film in the same manner as above to obtain a coating film. The coating film was left to stand at room temperature to volatilize the solvent. This resulted in an uncured adhesive layer (second uncured adhesive layer).
[0131] Next, the corona-treated surface of the low-density polyethylene film was bonded to the uncured adhesive layer (second uncured adhesive layer), thereby obtaining an uncured laminate.
[0132] The uncured laminate was then aged at 40°C for 2 days to cure the uncured adhesive layer. This resulted in a laminate film. The laminate film was sealed into a bag (130mm x 175mm) to obtain a laminate container for boiling sterilization.
[0133] Comparative Example 1 The following polyisocyanate component was used. 1 part by mass of the polyisocyanate component was mixed with 6 parts by mass of the polyol component to obtain 7 parts by mass of a mixture (equivalent ratio (NCO / OH) 1.90). A two-component curing polyurethane adhesive, a laminate film, and a laminate container for boiling sterilization were obtained in the same manner as in Example 1.
[0134] Polyisocyanate component: a mixture of 0.7 parts by weight of a trimethylolpropane (TMP) adduct of xylylene diisocyanate (XDI) and 0.3 parts by weight of a biuret derivative of hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI)
[0135] Comparative Example 2 The following polyol component was used. Also, 1 part by mass of the polyisocyanate component and 16 parts by mass of the polyol component were mixed to obtain 17 parts by mass of a mixture (equivalent ratio (NCO / OH) 1.16). A two-component curing polyurethane adhesive, a laminate film, and a laminate container for boiling sterilization were obtained in the same manner as in Example 1.
[0136] Polyol component: Polycarbonate polyol (aromatic ring concentration 0 mmol / g)
[0137] Comparative Example 3 The following polyisocyanate component and polyol component were used. 1 part by mass of the polyisocyanate component and 16 parts by mass of the polyol component were mixed to obtain 17 parts by mass of a mixture (equivalent ratio (NCO / OH) 1.75). A two-component curing polyurethane adhesive, a laminate film, and a laminate container for boiling sterilization were obtained in the same manner as in Example 1.
[0138] Polyisocyanate component: Biuret derivative of hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) Polyol component: polyester polyol (aromatic ring concentration 3.16 mmol / g)
[0139] [evaluation] (1) Dynamic viscoelasticity measurement A mixture of two-component curing polyurethane adhesive (polyisocyanate component and polyol component) was diluted with a solvent (ethyl acetate) so that the solid content concentration was 40 mass %, to obtain a diluted composition.
[0140] On the other hand, a release paper was fixed on a glass plate. Then, the above diluted composition was applied onto the release paper so that the dry thickness was 50 μm. An applicator was used as the application device. In this way, a coating film of the diluted composition was formed.
[0141] The glass plate, release paper, and coating were then placed in a desiccator (N2 atmosphere) for 24 hours, and then placed in a dryer (60°C) for 6 days. This allowed the polyisocyanate component and polyol component to react, and the reaction product was aged. This resulted in a cured two-component curing polyurethane adhesive. The cured product was used as a test sample.
[0142] The test sample was punched into a strip (50 mm long x 5 mm wide). The dynamic viscoelasticity was measured under the following conditions to determine the storage modulus (E') at 25°C, 60°C, and 100°C. Tan δ was also calculated as the glass transition temperature (Tg).
[0143] Measurement conditions Measurement mode: tension Measurement frequency; 10Hz Temperature range: -50℃~200℃ Heating rate: 5℃ / min Length between gauge lines: 20mm Static / dynamic stress ratio: 0.16-0.14
[0144] (2) Boiling resistance (deposition loss) The boiling sterilization laminated container was filled with water. The boiling sterilization laminated container was then subjected to a boiling treatment (95°C x 30 minutes) and cooled in cold water. The appearance of the boiling sterilization laminated container was then observed. The boiling resistance was evaluated according to the following criteria.
[0145] A: No deposition defects were observed after boiling treatment. B: Vapor voids were observed after boiling treatment.
[0146] (3) Water vapor permeability The water vapor permeability of the laminated container for boiling sterilization was measured in accordance with the moisture permeability test method (cup method) for moisture-proof packaging materials of JIS Z 0208 (1976).
[0147] More specifically, approximately 30 g of calcium chloride was sealed in a laminated container (pouch) for boiling sterilization before boiling, and then left to stand for two months under conditions of 40°C and 95% RH. Next, the mass of calcium chloride was measured before and after standing, and the increase in mass W2 after standing relative to the mass W1 before standing (W2 - W1) was calculated.
[0148] Thereafter, the water vapor permeability (water vapor barrier property) of the laminated container for boiling sterilization was evaluated according to the following criteria based on the mass increase (W2-W1) before and after leaving the container.
[0149] A: The mass increase (W2-W1) before and after standing was less than 1 g. B: The mass increase (W2 - W1) before and after standing was 1 g or more.
