Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an adhesive having an excellent adhesive function, which is suitably used when manufacturing a laminated body for packaging foods, medical products, cosmetics, etc. by laminating a plurality of various plastic films, metal vapor deposition films or metal foils. Further, the present invention relates to a laminated body for packaging used for packaging foods, medical products, cosmetics, etc.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, as packaging materials for foods, medical products, cosmetics, etc., those obtained by multilayer laminating and compounding a metal foil such as an aluminum foil or a metal vapor deposition film and a plastic film such as polyethylene, polypropylene, vinyl chloride, polyester, nylon, etc. are used. The applications of these composite films obtained by bonding a plastic film and a metal foil or a metal vapor deposition film together are often used in fields where resistance is required under severe conditions, such as packaging bags for heavy items such as bottled and tubed products, and packaging bags for hot water boiling and retort processing for the purpose of cooking and sterilization. Sufficient adhesiveness (lamination strength) between the films and strength of the bag-making part (seal strength) are required, and further water resistance and oil resistance (boiling and retort suitability) at high temperatures are required. Particularly in packaging bags, from the viewpoints of space saving and maintaining hygiene, the demand for a shape in which a composite film is adhered in accordance with the shape of food is increasing. Along with this, the composite film is required to have flexibility and boil and retort resistance in an environment where it is bent and distorted.

[0003] Conventionally, in response to such requirements, studies have been made to improve the adhesive force to a metal foil or a metal vapor deposition film and heat resistance by adding an epoxy-based silane coupling agent to a laminate adhesive. However, in recent years, restrictions on the amount of migration of epoxy-based silane coupling agents to foods are becoming stricter, especially in Europe. Therefore, there is a desire for a reactive adhesive in which the coupling agent is reduced or removed and the adhesion to metal is improved by other means.

[0004] On the other hand, a known method for improving adhesion to aluminum foil and metal vapor-deposited surfaces without using GLYMO is to increase the acid value using an acid modifier. For example, Patent Document 1 describes that adhesion to metal foil or metal vapor-deposited film can be improved by using a partially acid-modified polyol obtained by reacting trimellitic anhydride or trimellitic anhydride ester with polyester polyurethane polyol.

[0005] Patent Document 2 describes a dry laminating adhesive composition containing a polyol component and a polyisocyanate component, in which a hydroxycarboxylic acid having a number average molecular weight of 200 to 5,000, an acid value of 20 to 350, and a hydroxyl value of 20 to 350 is included as part of the polyol component in an amount such that the acid value derived from the hydroxycarboxylic acid as a percentage of the acid value of the solid content of the adhesive composition is 1 to 20, thereby improving adhesion to metal foil films and vapor-deposited films. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2005-132902 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 08-183943 [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0007] However, while the adhesive described in Patent Document 1 exhibits good adhesion in boiling and retorting at moderate temperatures (~120°C), in high-temperature retorting (120°C~135°C), adhesion may be insufficient and peel off depending on the contents and substrate. For example, packaging bags made using a general composite film consisting of polyester or nylon film / aluminum foil / unstretched polypropylene film lamination have the problem of delamination (peeling) of the heat-sealed portion occurring immediately after retorting and over time. Furthermore, the adhesive described in Patent Document 2, like that described in Patent Document 1, has the problem of delamination occurring at the heat-sealed portion in high-temperature retort environments.

[0008] This invention has been made in view of the above background, and aims to provide a reactive adhesive capable of forming a packaging body that does not delamination even when filled with highly acidic or oily foods and subjected to high-temperature retorting, as well as a laminate and packaging body made using the adhesive.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0022] <<Reactive Adhesive>> The reactive adhesive of the present invention contains a main agent and a curing agent, the main agent contains a polyester urethane polyol (A) having a structural unit derived from a hydroxycarboxylic acid (a1) having two or more hydroxy groups and two or more carboxy groups in one molecule, and the curing agent contains a polyisocyanate (B). The reactive adhesive of the present invention has the above structure, the carboxy group concentration in the resin skeleton increases, and the carboxy groups can contact a barrier layer such as an aluminum foil at a high density. Thereby, the adhesion between the adhesive layer and the barrier layer is improved, and excellent retort suitability can be exhibited. Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. The present invention is not limited to the following embodiments, and embodiments implemented within a range not changing the gist of the present invention are also included.

[0023] <Main Agent> [Polyester Urethane Polyol (A)] The main component of the present invention comprises a polyester urethane polyol (A) having structural units derived from a hydroxycarboxylic acid (a1) having two or more hydroxyl groups and carboxyl groups in one molecule. The polyester urethane polyol (A) can be obtained as a reaction product of a polyester polyol, a polyol containing a hydroxycarboxylic acid (a1) having two or more hydroxyl groups and carboxyl groups in one molecule, and a polyisocyanate. The above polyol may contain polyol components other than the polyester polyol and the above hydroxycarboxylic acid (a1) to the extent that it does not impair the effects of the present invention.

[0024] (Polyester polyol) Polyester polyols constituting polyester urethane polyol (A) include reaction products of polybasic acids and polyhydric alcohols, or ring-opening polymers of lactones such as polycaprolactone, polyvalerolactone, and poly(β-methyl-γ-valerolactone). Examples of the polybasic acids mentioned above include dibasic acids such as terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, adipic acid, azelaic acid, and sebacic acid, or their dialkyl esters, and mixtures thereof may also be used. Examples of the above polyhydric alcohols include ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, diethylene glycol, butylene glycol, neopentyl glycol, and 1,4-butane. Examples include glycols such as diols, 1,6-hexanediol, 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol, 3,3′-dimethylolheptane, polyoxyethylene glycol, polyoxypropylene glycol, and polytetramethylene ether glycol; and polyether polyols obtained by polymerizing oxirane compounds such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide, and tetrahydrofuran using, for example, water, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, trimethylolpropane, and glycerin as initiators; and mixtures thereof may also be used.

[0025] From the viewpoint of adhesive strength, the number average molecular weight of the polyester polyol is preferably 200 or more, more preferably 400 or more, and even more preferably 1,000 or more. It is also preferably 20,000 or less, more preferably 15,000 or less, and even more preferably 10,000 or less. For example, it may be between 200 and 20,000, between 400 and 15,000, or between 1,000 and 10,000. A number average molecular weight in the range of 200 to 20,000 is preferable because it results in an appropriate amount of urethane bonding, leading to excellent toughness and cohesiveness of the cured adhesive. The number-average molecular weights used herein are polystyrene-converted values ​​measured by GPC (gel permeation chromatography).

[0026] The hydroxyl value of the polyester polyol is preferably 50 mgKOH / g or less, more preferably 40 mgKOH / g or less, and even more preferably 35 mgKOH / g or less. It is also preferably 5 mgKOH / g or more, for example, it may be 5 to 50 mgKOH / g, 5 to 40 mgKOH / g, or 5 to 35 mgKOH / g. In this specification, the hydroxyl value can be determined by a method in accordance with JIS K 1557-1.

[0027] (Hydroxycarboxylic acids (a1) having two or more hydroxyl groups and two or more carboxyl groups in one molecule) Examples of hydroxycarboxylic acids (a1) having two or more hydroxyl groups and carboxyl groups in one molecule include compounds having four hydroxyl groups and two carboxyl groups in one molecule, such as saccharic acid; compounds having three hydroxyl groups and two carboxyl groups in one molecule, such as trihydroxyglutaric acid; and compounds having two hydroxyl groups and two carboxyl groups in one molecule, such as dihydroxymalonic acid and tartaric acid. Among these, (a1) is preferable because it has a large proportion of carboxyl group structures in the molecule, which improves adhesion strength to aluminum foil and suppresses delamination after retort sterilization. In this respect, a compound having two hydroxyl groups and two carboxyl groups in one molecule is preferred, and tartaric acid is more preferred.

[0028] It is preferable to react a hydroxycarboxylic acid (a1) having two or more hydroxyl groups and two or more carboxyl groups in one molecule with a polyester polyol to urethaneize a polyisocyanate. When (a1) reacts with the polyisocyanate and is introduced into the polyester urethane polyol (A), carboxyl groups are introduced into the resin backbone as side chains, and it is believed that the adhesion to metal is improved by the carboxyl groups present as side chains. In the above urethane reaction, the amount of (a1) blended is preferably 0.05% by mass or more, more preferably 0.1% by mass or more, based on the mass of the polyester polyol. It is also preferably 5.0% by mass or less, more preferably 3.0% by mass or less. That is, the polyester urethane polyol (A) has a compositional unit mass derived from hydroxycarboxylic acid (a1) that is preferably 0.05% by mass or more, more preferably 1.0% by mass or more, preferably 5.0% by mass or less, more preferably 3.0% by mass or less, and may be 0.05 to 5.0% by mass, or 0.1 to 3.0% by mass. A compositional unit proportion derived from (a1) of 0.05% by mass or more improves metal adhesion, and a proportion of 5.0% by mass or less is preferable because it suppresses the generation of fine particles, which are self-reacting products of (a1), resulting in a superior appearance.

[0029] (Polyisocyanate) Examples of polyisocyanates that constitute polyester urethane polyol (A) include 2,4-tolylene diisocyanate, 2,6-tolylene diisocyanate, xylylene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, 1,5-naphthalene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, and hydrogenated diphenylmethane diisocyanate. From the viewpoint of achieving both heat resistance and hygiene, isophorone diisocyanate is preferred.

[0030] (Hydroxycarboxylic acids (C1) having one hydroxyl group and two or more carboxyl groups in one molecule, and carboxylic acid anhydrides (C2) having one or more carboxyl groups in one molecule) From the viewpoint of improving acid resistance, the polyester urethane polyol (A) preferably has a constituent unit at its molecular end that is derived from at least one selected from the group consisting of a hydroxycarboxylic acid (c1) having one hydroxyl group and two or more carboxyl groups in one molecule, and a carboxylic acid anhydride (c2) having one or more carboxyl groups in one molecule. By having a constituent unit derived from (c1) or (c2) at the molecular ends of the polyester urethane polyol (A), a carboxyl group is introduced at the molecular ends. The carboxyl group introduced at the molecular ends then interacts with the metal surface through polar attraction and coats the metal surface. As a result, the reaction of acidic components derived from the permeated contents with the metal surface is suppressed, preventing a decrease in adhesion and resulting in excellent acid resistance. A polyester urethane polyol (A) having a structural unit derived from (c1) or (c2) at its molecular terminus can be obtained as a reaction product of a polyester polyol, (a1) above, a polyisocyanate, and a compound selected from the group consisting of (c1) and (c2) above.

[0031] Examples of (c1) include malic acid and citric acid. (c1) is preferably added when a polyol containing the polyester polyol and a hydroxycarboxylic acid (a1) having two or more hydroxyl groups and carboxyl groups in one molecule is reacted with a polyisocyanate in a urethane reaction. Since (c1) has one hydroxyl group in one molecule, the urethane reaction is stopped by the reaction of the hydroxyl group of (c1) with the isocyanate group of the polyisocyanate, and a constituent unit derived from (c1) can be introduced to the molecular terminus of the polyester urethane polyol (A).

[0032] Examples of (c2) include trimellitic anhydride. It is preferable to add (c2) when urethane-forming a polyol containing the polyester polyol and a hydroxycarboxylic acid (a1) having two or more hydroxyl groups and carboxyl groups in one molecule with a polyisocyanate. This causes a ring-opening reaction between the terminal hydroxyl groups of the polyester urethane polyol and the acid anhydride groups of (c2), and allows the introduction of structural units derived from (c2) to the molecular ends of the polyester urethane polyol (A).

[0033] In the above urethane reaction, the blending amounts of (c1) and (c2) are preferably 0.1% by mass or more, more preferably 0.3% by mass or more, based on the mass of the polyester polyol. Also preferably 3.0% by mass or less, more preferably 2.0% by mass or less. That is, the proportion of constituent units derived from at least one selected from the group consisting of (c1) and (c2) in the polyester urethane polyol (A) is preferably 0.1% by mass or more, more preferably 0.3% by mass or more, preferably 3.0% by mass or less, more preferably 2.0% by mass or less, and may be 0.1 to 3.0% by mass, 0.1 to 2.0% by mass, or 0.3 to 2.0% by mass. When the proportion of constituent units derived from at least one selected from the group consisting of (c1) and (c2) is 0.1% by mass or more, delamination of the edges of the pouch after hot water treatment is suppressed. If the amount is 3.0% by mass or less, there will be no shortage of hydroxyl groups at the molecular ends of the polyester urethane polyol (A), and sufficient crosslinking will be formed in the reaction with the curing agent containing polyisocyanate described later, thus maintaining heat resistance.

[0034] Polyester polyurethane polyol (A) can be obtained, for example, by compounding and reacting a polyester polyol with a number average molecular weight of 200 to 20,000, a hydroxycarboxylic acid (a1) having two or more hydroxyl groups and two or more carboxyl groups per molecule, and a hydroxycarboxylic acid (c1) having one hydroxyl group and two or more carboxyl groups per molecule, such that the ratio of the total number of hydroxyl groups to the number of isocyanate groups in the polyisocyanate (NCO / OH ratio) is less than 1, preferably 0.3 to 0.98. In particular, polyester polyurethane polyol (A) obtained by reacting under conditions where the NCO / OH ratio is less than 1 is preferred because it has high cohesive strength and excellent adhesion to metals.

[0035] From the viewpoint of achieving both adhesive strength and coating suitability, the number average molecular weight of the polyester urethane polyol is preferably 2,000 or more, more preferably 5,000 or more. Furthermore, it is preferably 40,000 or less, more preferably 20,000 or less, and even more preferably 15,000 or less. For example, it may be between 2,000 and 40,000, between 5,000 and 20,000, or between 5,000 and 15,000. Within the above range, it has an appropriate viscosity, excellent coating properties, and excellent adhesive strength after curing. From the viewpoint of resistance to contents and heat resistance, the acid value of the polyester urethane polyol is preferably 3 to 30 mg KOH / g, more preferably 3 to 20 mg KOH / g, and even more preferably 3 to 10 mg KOH / g. When the acid value is within the above range, it is possible to maintain excellent adhesive strength even when stored for a long period of time after filling with acidic contents. Furthermore, since there is no shortage of hydroxyl groups in the polyester urethane polyol, the crosslinking density of the cured adhesive becomes sufficient, and excellent heat resistance can be maintained.

[0036] The hydroxyl value of the polyester urethane polyol is preferably 30 mg KOH / g or less, more preferably 25 mg KOH / g or less, and even more preferably 15 mg KOH / g or less. It is also preferably 1 mg KOH / g or more, for example, it may be 1 to 30 mg KOH / g, 1 to 25 mg KOH / g, or 1 to 15 mg KOH / g.

[0037] [Other polyols] The main component in the present invention may contain polyol components other than polyester urethane polyol (A), as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired. Examples of such polyol components include polyester urethane polyols, polyether polyols, polyester polyols, polycarbonate polyols, polycaprolactone polyols, polyvalerolactone polyols, polyolefin polyols, polyurethane polyols, acrylic polyols, silicone polyols, polyhydroxyalkanes, and fluorinated polyols, which do not contain (a1). Furthermore, polyols derived from vegetable oils, such as castor oil polyols, may also be included. Using polyols derived from vegetable oils can increase the biomass content of the adhesive and reduce its environmental impact.

[0038] [Particle number concentration measurement] In the aforementioned main component, when measuring the particle number concentration using dynamic light scattering, the number concentration of particles with a particle diameter of 25 μm or more, based on the solid content mass, is preferably 4000 particles / mL or less, and more preferably 2000 particles / mL or less. Being within this range helps to suppress the formation of air bubble nuclei and the resulting appearance defects when the material is packaged. The number concentration of particles with a particle diameter of 25 μm or more, based on the solid content mass, can be calculated by the following method. <Method for measuring the number concentration of particles with a particle diameter of 25 μm or more> Using an automated dynamic light scattering particle measurement system, the particle size and particle number concentration (particles / mL) of insoluble particles in the diluted main solution are measured. Then, from the resulting histogram (vertical axis: particle number concentration (particles / mL), horizontal axis: particle size), the particle number concentration (particles / mL) of particles with a particle size of 25 μm or larger is calculated. The measurement is performed three times, and using the obtained values, the particle number concentration of particles with a particle size of 25 μm or larger, based on the solid content mass, is calculated based on the following formula. Formula) Particle number concentration = [{Σ(a1+a2+a3) / 3×n]-{b×(n-1)}]×(X / 100)-c×(100-X / 100) [In the above formula, X: Solid content concentration (mass%) of the main component before dilution a1: Number concentration of particles with a particle size of 25 μm or larger (particles / mL) in the first measurement. a2: Number concentration of particles with a particle size of 25 μm or larger (particles / mL) in the second measurement. a3: Number concentration of particles with a particle size of 25 μm or larger (particles / mL) in the third measurement. b: Number concentration of particles with a particle size of 25 μm or larger in the dilution solvent (particles / mL) c: Number concentration of particles with a particle size of 25 μm or larger in the added solvent during synthesis (particles / mL) n: Dilution ratio (times)

[0039] As an automated measurement system for dynamic light scattering particles, the "SLS-2000" (manufactured by Particle Measurement Systems, equipped with the LiQuiazIIE20P sensor) can be used. Measurement conditions may include a measurement atmosphere of 25°C and a flow rate of 20 mL / min. The measured values ​​are output as a histogram with particle number concentration (particles / mL) on the vertical axis and particle diameter of a constant width on the horizontal axis. From this histogram, the particle number concentration (particles / mL) of particles with a diameter of 25 μm or larger can be calculated.

[0082] [Table 5]

[0083] According to the results in Tables 4 and 5, the reactive adhesive of the present invention exhibited excellent adhesion and showed good results in the Erichsen retort evaluation. In particular, when the amount of hydroxycarboxylic acid (a1) blended was 0.1 to 3.0% by mass based on the mass of the polyester polyol, the Erichsen retort evaluation improved, acid resistance (laminate strength of AL / NY after retorting) improved, and fine particles in the main component were suppressed, resulting in excellent appearance of the laminate film. Furthermore, by introducing constituent units derived from hydroxycarboxylic acid (c1) having one hydroxyl group and two or more carboxyl groups per molecule, or carboxylic acid anhydride (c2) having one or more carboxyl groups per molecule, the Erichsen retort resistance was further improved, and when the total amount of (c1) and (c2) blended was 0.1 to 2.0% by mass based on the mass of the polyester polyol, excellent balance between Erichsen retort evaluation and acid resistance was achieved. Furthermore, the curing agent (B), containing reaction products of isophorone diisocyanate and trimethylolpropane, and reaction products of xylylene diisocyanate and trimethylolpropane, demonstrated excellent balance between appearance, acid resistance, and Erichsen retort evaluation. The silane coupling agent content was 0.1% by mass or less based on the mass of polyester urethane polyol (A), which allowed for a reduction in the amount of silane coupling agent extracted and a balance between Erichsen retort evaluation and acid resistance (laminated strength of AL / NY after retorting).
