[Diagram 2] 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a pseudo-adhesive label according to one embodiment of the present invention attached to an adherend. [Diagram 3] 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a state in which a substrate is peeled off from a pseudo adhesive label according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0018] The present invention will be described below by taking an embodiment according to one aspect of the present invention as an example, but the present invention is not limited to this embodiment.

[0019] [Embodiment according to one aspect of the present invention] (pseudo adhesive label) The pseudo-adhesive label according to this embodiment includes a substrate, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, and a pseudo-adhesive layer included between the substrate and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The pseudo-adhesive layer pseudo-adheres to the substrate. In this specification, "pseudo-adhesion" refers to adhesion in which one layer and another layer are bonded together under specific conditions (e.g., a combination of materials and a temperature range) and can be easily peeled off at the interface, but does not exhibit re-adhesion or re-stickiness after peeling.

[0020] 1 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a pseudo adhesive label 1 according to this embodiment. In the pseudo adhesive label 1 according to this embodiment, a substrate 10, a pseudo adhesive layer 20, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 are laminated in this order. The substrate 10 and the pseudo adhesive layer 20 are pseudo-adhered to each other at an interface A. Moreover, the pseudo-adhesive label 1 according to this embodiment further has a release liner RL, as shown in Fig. 1. The pseudo-adhesive label according to the present invention is not limited to an embodiment having a release liner RL.

[0021] In the pseudo adhesive label 1 according to this embodiment, the pseudo adhesive layer 20 is pseudo-adhered to the substrate 10. That is, the pseudo adhesive label 1 according to this embodiment can be peeled off at the interface A between the substrate 10 as one layer and the pseudo adhesive layer 20 as the other layer, and the interface A side surface of the substrate 10 and the interface A side surface of the pseudo adhesive layer 20 after peeling do not exhibit re-adhesion or re-stickiness.

[0022] There is no particular limitation on the shape of the pseudo adhesive label 1. Examples of the shape of the pseudo adhesive label 1 in plan view include polygons (for example, rectangles and triangles), circles, ellipses, and irregular shapes.

[0023] (pseudo adhesive layer) The pseudo-adhesive layer 20 of the pseudo-adhesive label 1 according to this embodiment contains a polyolefin resin and an inorganic filler. By containing the polyolefin resin in the pseudo-adhesive layer 20, the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 does not undergo cohesive failure when peeling off the substrate 10, and the substrate 10 and the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 can be peeled off from each other. In addition, by containing the inorganic filler in the pseudo-adhesive layer 20, good printability can be imparted to the surface of the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 without significantly affecting the peeling force of the substrate 10.

[0024] Polyolefin resin The polyolefin resin is a polymer having at least a structural unit derived from an olefin monomer. The olefin monomer is preferably an olefin having a carbon number of 2 or more and 8 or less. Examples of olefins having a carbon number of 2 or more and 8 or less include ethylene, propylene, butylene, isobutylene, and 1-hexene. In one aspect of this embodiment, the olefin monomer is more preferably at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of ethylene, propylene, and butylene, which are olefins having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, even more preferably at least one monomer selected from the group consisting of ethylene and propylene, which are olefins having 2 to 3 carbon atoms, and even more preferably an ethylene monomer, which is an olefin having 2 carbon atoms. The polyolefin resin may be a polymer using one type of olefin monomer alone, or a copolymer using two or more types of olefin monomers in combination.

[0025] Examples of the polyolefin resin contained in the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 include polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin (PP), polybutene resin (PB), ethylene-propylene copolymer, olefin elastomer (TPO), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), ethylene-methyl methacrylate copolymer (EMMA), and olefin terpolymer.

[0026] The polyolefin resin is preferably at least one resin selected from the group consisting of polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin (PP), and polybutene resin (PB), and more preferably at least one resin selected from the group consisting of polyethylene resin and polypropylene resin (PP). Examples of polyethylene resins include very low density polyethylene (VLDPE, density: 880 kg / m 3 More than 910kg / m 3 less than 910kg / m 3 More than 915kg / m 3 less than 915kg / m 3 More than 942kg / m 3 less than 94%, high density polyethylene (HDPE, density: 94 2kg / m3 or more), and linear polyethylene.

[0027] In the polyolefin-based resin, the content of structural units derived from an olefin monomer having 2 to 8 carbon atoms is preferably 50% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, more preferably 60% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, even more preferably 70% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, still more preferably 80% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, and even more preferably 90% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, relative to all structural units of the polyolefin-based resin (100% by mass). The pseudo-adhesive layer 20 may contain one kind of these polyolefin resins alone, or may contain two or more kinds of them.

[0028] When the substrate 10 is a paper substrate, from the viewpoint of realizing good pseudo-adhesion with the paper substrate and from the viewpoint of facilitating thermocompression bonding to the paper substrate, it is preferable that the polyolefin resin contained in the pseudo-adhesion layer 20 contains polyethylene as a main component. In addition, since the polyolefin resin contained in the pseudo-adhesion layer 20 contains polyethylene as a main component, it is possible to adjust the peeling force when peeling off the thermal paper, particularly when the substrate 10 is thermal paper (heat-sensitive paper). In addition, "containing polyethylene as a main component" means that the polyolefin resin contains polyethylene in the largest amount. In this case, the polyolefin resin contained in the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 may be only polyethylene. When the polyolefin resin contained in the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 contains polyethylene as a main component, the content of components other than polyethylene in the polyolefin resin is preferably up to 30% by mass.

[0029] From the viewpoint of improving releasability, the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 preferably contains 50% by mass or more of a polyolefin resin, and more preferably contains 70% by mass or more.

Examples of the silica include fused silica and spherical silica. From the viewpoint of improving printability, the inorganic filler contained in the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 is preferably needle-shaped or disk-shaped. In addition, in the case of a spherical inorganic filler, it is preferable that the surface irregularities are large, specifically, that the sphericity is 0.8 or less. The sphericity of the sphere can be calculated from an SEM image or the like by the following formula. Sphericity = Area of ​​inorganic filler determined by image analysis / Area calculated from the diameter of the circle in which the inorganic filler fits It is more preferable that the inorganic filler contained in the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 is calcium carbonate. When the inorganic filler is calcium carbonate, printability with a hard writing instrument such as a pencil can be improved.

[0031] The inorganic filler preferably has an average particle size of 0.1 μm or more and 10 μm or less. If the inorganic filler has an average particle size of 0.1 μm or more, good printability is easily obtained, and if it is 10 μm or less, the unevenness of the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 is not too large, good film-forming properties are easily obtained, and the effect on the peeling force is suppressed. From the viewpoint of improving printability, the average particle size of the inorganic filler is more preferably 0.8 μm or more and 8 μm or less. The average particle size in this specification is a volume average particle size calculated from the particle size distribution measurement results of the dielectric filler (B) by a laser diffraction / scattering method in accordance with JIS Z 8819-2:2001.

[0032] From the viewpoint of improving printability, the proportion of inorganic filler added in the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 is preferably 1% by volume or more and 40% by volume or less, and more preferably 5% by volume or more and 30% by volume or less, based on the total volume of the polyolefin resin and the inorganic filler. If the proportion of inorganic filler added in the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 is 1% by volume or more, good printability is obtained, and if it is 40% by volume or less, the effect on film-forming properties and peeling force is suppressed.

[0033] In addition to the polyolefin resin and inorganic filler, the pseudo-adhesion layer 20 may contain resins other than the polyolefin resin and additives as long as the effects of this embodiment are not impaired. Examples of resins other than polyolefin resins include polypolymers that are compatible with polyolefin resins, specifically, styrene elastomers and ester elastomers. When the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 contains a resin other than polyolefin resin, a modification effect of the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 can be obtained. When the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 contains a resin other than a polyolefin-based resin, the content of the resin other than a polyolefin-based resin is preferably 30 mass % or less.

[0034] Examples of the additives include antioxidants, lubricants, ultraviolet absorbers, colorants, and antiblocking agents. When the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 contains an additive, the additive may be one type or two or more types. When the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 contains an additive, the content of the additive is preferably 0.0001 parts by mass or more and 20 parts by mass or less, more preferably 0.0005 parts by mass or more and 15 parts by mass or less, and even more preferably 0.001 parts by mass or more and 10 parts by mass or less, relative to 100 parts by mass of the polyolefin resin.

[0036] (base material) The substrate 10 of the pseudo adhesive label 1 according to this embodiment is not particularly limited. The substrate 10 is appropriately selected from substrates used in conventional pseudo adhesive labels depending on the intended use of the pseudo adhesive label 1. In the pseudo adhesive label 1, the substrate 10 is an information display substrate that displays information about the adherend. For example, when the adherend is a delivery, the information about the adherend may include the sender, destination, and delivery company's name or title, address, telephone number, and contents of the delivery.

[0037] The thickness of the substrate 10 is appropriately selected depending on the application of the pseudo adhesive label 1.

According to the pseudo adhesive label 1 according to this embodiment, even if the base material 10 is a paper base material having a basis weight within this range, breakage of the base material when the base material is peeled off can be suppressed.

[0039] (Adhesive layer) The adhesive layer 30 preferably contains a known adhesive. Examples of the adhesive that is combined with a tackifier resin in the adhesive layer 30 include adhesives such as acrylic adhesives, natural rubber adhesives, synthetic rubber adhesives, and silicone adhesives.

[0040] The thickness of the adhesive layer 30 is appropriately selected depending on the application of the pseudo adhesive label 1. The thickness of the adhesive layer 30 is preferably 1 μm or more and 50 μm or less, more preferably 5 μm or more and 50 μm or less, even more preferably 10 μm or more and 40 μm or less, even more preferably 10 μm or more and 30 μm or less, and even more preferably 10 μm or more and 20 μm or less.

[0041] (Release liner) The release liner RL protects the adhesive layer 30 until the pseudo adhesive label 1 is attached to an adherend. The release liner RL is not particularly limited as long as it can be used by being attached to the adhesive layer of the adhesive sheet.

[0045] <Manufacturing method of pseudo adhesive label> The pseudo adhesive label 1 according to this embodiment can be manufactured, for example, by a manufacturing method including the following steps P1 and P2.

[0046] ·Process P1 Step P1 is a step of laminating the substrate 10 and the pseudo-adhesive layer 20. The laminate produced in step P1 in which the interface A between the substrate 10 and the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 is pseudo-adhesive may be referred to as a "pseudo-adhesive laminate" below. ·Process P2 Step P2 is a step of laminating a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 onto the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 of the pseudo-adhesive laminate obtained in step P1.

[0047] First, the process P1 will be described. The method for laminating the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 on the substrate 10 is not particularly limited. The manufacturing method of the pseudo adhesive label 1 according to this embodiment includes a step (melt extrusion step) of melt-extruding a pseudo adhesive layer material including a material constituting the pseudo adhesive layer 20 onto the substrate 10. In the manufacturing method of the pseudo adhesive label 1 according to this embodiment, the pseudo adhesive layer material contains at least a polyolefin resin and an inorganic filler.

[0048] An example of a method for melt-extruding the pseudo-adhesive layer material is a method using a T-die. The temperature (melt extrusion temperature) at which the pseudo-adhesion layer material is melted and extruded is preferably set appropriately depending on the type of resin constituting the pseudo-adhesion layer 20. In addition, the melt extrusion temperature is preferably a temperature at which the pseudo-adhesion layer material does not melt and adhere to the substrate 10. In this embodiment, since at least a polyolefin-based resin is used as the resin constituting the pseudo-adhesive layer 20, the melt extrusion temperature is typically 200°C or higher and 400°C or lower, preferably 230°C or higher and 350°C or lower, and more preferably 250°C or higher and 300°C or lower.

[0049] Step P1 also includes a step of cooling the melt-extruded pseudo-adhesive layer material (cooling step). In the cooling step, the heated and melted pseudo-adhesion layer material is brought into contact with a cooling means such as a cooling roll to form the pseudo-adhesion layer 20. The cooling roll has a cylindrical body with a metal outer circumferential surface. The cooling roll has a cooling function by passing cooling water or the like through the inside of the cylindrical body. When a cooling roll is used as the cooling means, the pseudo-adhesion layer material melt-extruded onto the substrate may be cooled by directly contacting the outer circumferential surface of the cooling roll, or the substrate may be directly contacted with the outer circumferential surface of the cooling roll to indirectly cool the pseudo-adhesion layer material. In addition, in the cooling step, the melt-extruded pseudo-adhesion layer material may be cooled by air cooling. The cooling temperature of the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 is preferably 15° C. or higher and 40° C. or lower, and more preferably 20° C. or higher and 35° C. or lower. When a cooling roll is used as the cooling means, the cooling temperature is the temperature of the cooling water passed through the cooling roll. When the pseudo-adhesive layer material is cooled by air cooling, the cooling temperature is the atmospheric temperature in which the melt-extruded pseudo-adhesive layer material is placed, and when temperature-controlled air is forcibly blown onto the pseudo-adhesive layer material, the cooling temperature is the temperature of that air.

[0050] When a cooling roll is used as a cooling means, the time (cooling time) that the molten pseudo-adhesive layer material is directly or indirectly in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the cooling roll can be controlled by the speed at which the laminate comprising the substrate and the pseudo-adhesive layer material is transported.

[0051] As described above, the pseudo-adhesive laminate can be obtained by the step P1 including the melt-extrusion step and the cooling step.

[0052] Next, the process P2 will be described. In step P2, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 is formed on the surface of the pseudo-adhesive laminate on the side of the pseudo-adhesive layer 20.

[0053] Specifically, an adhesive composition containing materials constituting the adhesive layer 30 is applied to the release-treated surface of the release liner RL to form the adhesive layer 30 on the release liner RL. The adhesive composition in step P2 contains a tackifier resin and a main polymer. The adhesive layer 30 formed on the release liner RL is attached to the surface of the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 side of the pseudo-adhesive laminate to produce the pseudo-adhesive label 1.

[0054] Alternatively, the pseudo-adhesive label 1 can also be produced by applying an adhesive composition to the surface of the pseudo-adhesive laminate on which the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 is formed to form an adhesive layer 30, and then attaching a release liner RL to the adhesive layer 30.

[0055] Examples of methods for applying the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition include roll coating, bar coating, knife coating, roll knife coating, blade coating, die coating, and gravure coating.

[0056] In order to improve the adhesion between the surface of the pseudo-adhesive laminate facing the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30, it is preferable to form the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 after subjecting the surface of the pseudo-adhesive laminate facing the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 to a corona treatment or the like.

[0057] The pseudo adhesive label 1 may be appropriately subjected to a punching process. The punching process may be carried out, for example, by punching out the entire label together with the release liner RL using a punching blade that conforms to the contour of a predetermined label. Alternatively, cuts may be made from the substrate 10 to the adhesive layer 30 so as not to punch through the release liner RL, and a plurality of pseudo adhesive labels 1 may be arranged on the release liner RL. In this case, the cuts made by the punching process may penetrate into the release liner RL to an extent that the release liner RL is not punched out and falls off. Furthermore, if necessary, unnecessary portions around the outer periphery of each pseudo adhesive label 1 may be removed from on the release liner RL.

[0058] <Applications of pseudo adhesive labels> FIG. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a state in which the pseudo adhesive label 1 is attached to an adherend 100. As shown in FIG. The pseudo-adhesive label 1 according to this embodiment can be peeled off at the interface between the adhesive layer 30 and the release liner RL. As shown in Fig. 2, after being separated from the release liner RL, the adhesive layer 30 of the pseudo-adhesive label 1 is attached to an adherend 100.

[0059] When the pseudo-adhesive label 1 is used as a delivery slip, the adherend 100 may be, for example, a delivery item. A delivery item is usually composed of an item to be delivered and a packaging material for packaging the item. Examples of the packaging material include wrapping paper, wrapping film, wrapping boxes, and wrapping containers. Examples of the material of the packaging material include cardboard, paper, plastic, and metal. Since the pseudo-adhesive label 1 is attached to the packaging material of the delivery item, the adhesive layer 30 has an appropriate adhesive strength to the packaging material.

[0060] FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view showing a state in which the substrate 10 is peeled off from the pseudo adhesive label 1 attached to the adherend 100. As shown in FIG.

[0061] The pseudo adhesive label 1 according to this embodiment is used, for example, as a delivery slip. When the pseudo adhesive label 1 is used as a delivery slip, the entire base material 10 may be peeled off as a receipt. In addition, when the pseudo adhesive label 1 is used as a delivery slip, it is also preferable that the base material 10 of the pseudo adhesive label 1 is divided into a plurality of label pieces, for example, by a cut. For example, when the base material 10 is divided into two by a cut, one label piece can be used as a delivery slip and the other label piece can be used as a receipt. The label piece used as a receipt is usually peeled off at the interface A with the pseudo adhesive layer 20 after a seal or signature is applied. The other label piece remains on the delivery item, or on the box or container in which the delivery item is packed, etc. The receipt removed from the pseudo adhesive label 1 is used by a delivery company or the like for sorting out delivery slips. After the substrate 10 is peeled off, characters or the like can be written or printed on the surface of the pseudo-adhesive layer 20 remaining on the adherend 100 such as a packaging material using a pencil, mechanical pencil, or water-based ballpoint pen.

[0062] (Effects of this embodiment) The pseudo adhesive label 1 according to this embodiment has excellent peelability between the substrate and the pseudo adhesive layer. Moreover, the pseudo adhesive label 1 according to this embodiment also has excellent printability on the surface of the pseudo adhesive layer after the substrate is peeled off. EXAMPLES

[0063] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0064] [Creating pseudo-adhesive labels] Example 1 The resin and inorganic filler shown in Table 1 were mixed to obtain a pseudo-adhesive layer material. The pseudo-adhesive layer material was heated to 260°C, and a resin layer having a thickness of 20 μm was formed on a substrate (basis weight 65 g / m) using a T-die. 2 The resin layer was extruded onto a thermal paper (thermal paper of 10000 mm). Cooling water adjusted to 23°C was passed through a water-cooled roll, and the resin layer on the substrate was brought into contact with the surface of the water-cooled roll, thereby cooling and solidifying the molten resin layer. In this manner, a pseudo-adhesive laminate was produced. Next, an acrylic adhesive composition was applied onto the release liner. A roll coater was used to apply the adhesive composition. The applied adhesive composition was dried to form an adhesive layer. The adhesive layer on the release liner and the pseudo-adhesive laminate (pseudo-adhesive layer on the substrate) were bonded together to produce a pseudo-adhesive label.

[0065] (Examples 2 to 8, Comparative Examples 1 to 2) For Examples 2 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the resin and filler were changed as shown in Table 1, but the same procedure as in Example 1 was followed to produce each pseudo-adhesive label.

[0066] [Evaluation of pseudo-adhesive labels] The peel strength and printability of each of the pseudo-adhesive labels produced in Examples 1 to 8 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were evaluated as follows. The evaluation results are shown in Table 1.

[0067] (Peeling Force Evaluation) The measurement was made according to the 180° peel adhesive strength of JIS Z 0237:2000. Specifically, the pseudo-adhesive label was first fixed to a stainless steel test plate using the adhesive layer of the pseudo-adhesive label itself. The substrate of the pseudo-adhesive label was then peeled from the pseudo-adhesive layer at a peel speed of 0.3 m / min and a peel angle of 180°. The strength of the force (peel force) required for this peeling was measured, and the measured peel force was taken as the pseudo-adhesive strength. The unit of pseudo-adhesive strength is mN / 50 mm.

[0068] (Printability evaluation) Using an HB pencil and a ruler, a cross was drawn on the pseudo-adhesive layer from which the substrate had been peeled off, with each line measuring 50 mm in length. The length of the unprinted portion of each line was measured, and the proportion of the unprinted portion was calculated using the following formula. (Length of unprinted part / 50mm) x 100% Based on the calculated results, evaluation was performed according to the following criteria. A: The proportion of unprinted areas on both straight lines is less than 10%. B: The percentage of unprinted areas on one or both straight lines is between 10% and 29%. C: The percentage of unprinted areas on one or both straight lines is between 30% and 49%. D: The unprinted area of ​​one or both straight lines is 50% or less.

[0069] [Table 1]

[0070] As shown in Table 1, the pseudo-adhesive labels according to Examples 1 to 8 were labels excellent in both peelability and printability. On the other hand, in the case of the pseudo-adhesive label of Comparative Example 1, the thermal paper was broken when it was peeled off, and the peel force could not be measured. Moreover, the pseudo-adhesive label of Comparative Example 2 was inferior in printability to the pseudo-adhesive labels of Examples 1-8. [Explanation of symbols]
