[0066] More specifically, the copolymerizable monomer is preferably a functional group-containing vinyl monomer or an aromatic vinyl monomer, more preferably a carboxy group-containing vinyl monomer or styrene, and even more preferably styrene.

[0067] In the monomer component for B1, the ratio of the (meth)acrylic acid ester to the copolymerizable monomer is selected so that the glass transition temperature of the first acrylic polymer (B1) falls within the range described below.

[0070] In the monomer component for B1, the copolymerizable monomer is preferably selected depending on the form of the first acrylic polymer (B1).

[0071] For example, when the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) and the first acrylic polymer (B1) do not form composite particles (C1) described below, but the first acrylic polymer (B1) forms a single resin particle, the copolymerizable monomer preferably contains a functional group-containing vinyl monomer and an aromatic vinyl monomer.

[0072] For example, the content of the functional group-containing vinyl monomer relative to the total amount of copolymerizable monomers is, for example, 1% by mass or more, preferably 3% by mass or more, more preferably 5% by mass or more. Also, the content of the functional group-containing vinyl monomer relative to the total amount of copolymerizable monomers is, for example, 80% by mass or less, preferably 70% by mass or less, more preferably 50% by mass or less, even more preferably 30% by mass or less, particularly preferably 10% by mass or less.

[0074] Furthermore, for example, when the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) and the first acrylic polymer (B1) form the composite particle (C1) described below, the copolymerizable monomer preferably does not contain a functional group-containing vinyl monomer, and more preferably, the aromatic vinyl monomer is, for example, 100 mass% based on the total amount of the copolymerizable monomers.

[0075] The polymerization method of the monomer component (b1) for B1 is not particularly limited, and a known polymerization method is adopted. For example, the monomer component (b1) for B1 is polymerized in water under normal pressure. In the polymerization, for example, the polymerization initiator described above is mixed in an appropriate ratio.

[0076] In the polymerization of the monomer component (b1) for B1, the above-mentioned emulsifier (surfactant) and additives are added in an appropriate ratio, if necessary.

[0077] The polymerization temperature and polymerization time of the B1 monomer component (b1) are appropriately set according to the type and amount of the B1 monomer component (b1).

[0081] When the glass transition temperature of the first acrylic polymer (B1) is higher than the lower limit, the first resin layer 3 has excellent blocking resistance. Therefore, even if the second resin layer 4 is not disposed, the transport efficiency of the substrate 2 and the first resin layer 3 is excellent, and the lamination efficiency of the second resin layer 4 is excellent. As a result, the production efficiency of the laminate 1 is improved.

[0082] The glass transition temperature of the first acrylic polymer (B1) is 15° C. or lower, preferably 10° C. or lower, and more preferably 5° C. or lower.

[0083] When the glass transition temperature of the first acrylic polymer (B1) is below the above upper limit, the first resin layer 3 has excellent water resistance and oil resistance, and as a result, the laminate 1 has excellent water resistance and oil resistance.

[0084] The glass transition temperature is calculated based on the FOX formula (hereinafter the same).

[0085] In the above method, a dispersion in which resin particles of the first acrylic polymer (B1) are dispersed in water is preferably obtained.

[0086] The dispersion of the first acrylic polymer (B1) has a solid content concentration of, for example, 10 mass% or more, or preferably 20 mass% or more. The dispersion of the first acrylic polymer (B1) has a solid content concentration of, for example, 60 mass% or less, or preferably 50 mass% or less.

[0087] The first resin layer 3 contains the above-mentioned first acrylic polymer (B1), and thus has excellent water resistance and oil resistance.

[0088] The first resin component may further contain other resins, so long as it contains the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) and the first acrylic polymer (B1).

[0089] Examples of the other resins include known binder resins, and more specifically, examples of the other resins include polyester resins and polyurethane resins.

[0090] The first resin component preferably does not contain any other resins and is composed of a first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) and a first acrylic polymer (B1).

[0091] The proportion of the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) is 25 mass% or more, preferably 30 mass% or more, more preferably 40 mass% or more, even more preferably 50 mass% or more, and particularly preferably 60 mass% or more, based on the total amount of the first resin component.

[0092] When the proportion of the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) is greater than the above lower limit, the first resin layer 3 has excellent blocking resistance, and therefore, even if the second resin layer 4 is not disposed, the transport efficiency of the substrate 2 and the first resin layer 3 is excellent, and the production efficiency of the laminate 1 is improved.

[0093] The proportion of the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) is 90 mass % or less, preferably 85 mass % or less, more preferably 80 mass % or less, even more preferably 75 mass % or less, and particularly preferably 70 mass % or less, based on the total amount of the first resin component.

[0094] When the proportion of the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) is below the above upper limit, the first resin layer 3 has excellent water resistance and oil resistance, and as a result, the laminate 1 has excellent water resistance and oil resistance.

[0095] In addition, the proportion of the first acrylic polymer (B1) is 10 mass% or more, preferably 15 mass% or more, more preferably 20 mass% or more, even more preferably 25 mass% or more, and particularly preferably 30 mass% or more, based on the total amount of the first resin component.

[0096] The proportion of the first acrylic polymer (B1) is 75 mass % or less, preferably 70 mass % or less, more preferably 60 mass % or less, even more preferably 50 mass % or less, and particularly preferably 40 mass % or less, relative to the total amount of the first resin component.

[0097] In the first resin component, the form of the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) and the form of the first acrylic polymer (B1) are not particularly limited.

[0098] For example, the first resin component can contain resin particles consisting solely of the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) and resin particles consisting solely of the first acrylic polymer (B1).

[0099] In such a case, the dispersion of the first resin component (first coating material) is prepared by a known method. For example, first, the A1 monomer component (a1) is polymerized by the above-mentioned method. This results in a dispersion of resin particles consisting of the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) alone (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as A1 dispersion).

[0100] Separately from the above-mentioned A1 dispersion, the B1 monomer component (b1) is polymerized by the above-mentioned method, thereby obtaining a dispersion of resin particles composed solely of the first acrylic polymer (B1) (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as B1 dispersion).

[0101] Then, the A1 dispersion and the B1 dispersion are mixed so that the ratio of the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) and the ratio of the first acrylic polymer (B1) are within the above ranges.

[0102] As a result, a dispersion of a first resin component (first coating material) is obtained as a mixture of a dispersion of the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) and the first acrylic polymer (B1).

[0103] In addition, the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) and the first acrylic polymer (B1) can form composite particles (C1).

[0104] That is, the first resin component can contain composite particles (C1) containing a first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) and a first acrylic polymer (B1).

[0105] From the viewpoints of water resistance, oil resistance and blocking resistance, the first resin component preferably contains composite particles (C1) containing a first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) and a first acrylic polymer (B1).

[0106] The composite particle (C1) contains, for example, a first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) and a first acrylic polymer (B1), and is preferably composed of the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) and the first acrylic polymer (B1).

[0107] The structure of the composite particle (C1) is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a core-shell structure or a dispersion structure. In the core-shell structure, the core layer is covered with the shell layer. In the dispersion structure, the dispersion phase is dispersed in the continuous phase. The structure of the composite particle (C1) is preferably a dispersion structure.

[0108] In the dispersed structure, for example, the continuous phase may be the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) and the dispersed phase may be the first acrylic polymer (B1). In addition, in the dispersed structure, for example, the continuous phase may be the first acrylic polymer (B1) and the dispersed phase may be the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1). Preferably, the continuous phase is the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) and the dispersed phase is the first acrylic polymer (B1).

[0109] Such composite particles (C1) are produced by a known method.

[0110] For example, first, a dispersion of the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) is prepared by the above method. Next, a first acrylic polymer (B1) is synthesized in the dispersion of the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1). This results in a composite particle (C1) containing the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) and the first acrylic polymer (B1).

[0111] More specifically, in the above method, a dispersion in which the composite particles (C1) are dispersed in water (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as C1 dispersion) is obtained.

[0112] The composite particles (C1) have an average particle size (measurement method: light scattering measurement) of, for example, 1 nm or more, preferably 10 nm or more. The composite particles (C1) have an average particle size (measurement method: light scattering measurement) of, for example, 10 μm or less, preferably 1 μm or less.

[0113] The average particle size of the composite particles (C1) observed by an electron microscope is, for example, 50 nm or more, preferably 60 nm or more, more preferably 80 nm or more. The average particle size of the composite particles (C1) observed by an electron microscope is, for example, 300 nm or less, more preferably 200 nm or less, and even more preferably 120 nm or less.

[0114] The dispersion of the composite particles (C1) (hereinafter, C1 dispersion) can be used as it is as a dispersion of the first resin component (first coating material).

[0115] If necessary, the A1 dispersion and / or the B1 dispersion may be mixed with the C1 dispersion, and the mixing ratios thereof are adjusted so that the ratio of the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) and the ratio of the first acrylic polymer (B1) are each within the above range.

[0116] As the dispersion of the first resin component (first coating material), a mixture of a dispersion of the composite particles (C1) (C1 dispersion) and a dispersion of the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) (A1 dispersion) is more preferably used.

[0117] Furthermore, the dispersion liquid of the first resin component (first coating material) can contain additives in addition to the first resin component, if necessary.

[0118] Examples of additives include known additives such as fillers, emulsifiers, curing agents, crosslinking agents, film-forming aids, defoamers, anti-repellent agents, leveling agents, tackifiers, hardness-imparting agents, preservatives, thickeners, antifreeze agents, dispersants, inorganic pigments, and organic pigments. These additives can be used alone or in combination of two or more. The mixing ratio and timing of the additives are appropriately set according to the purpose and application.

[0119] The solid content of the first resin component dispersion (first coating material) is, for example, 10% by mass or more, preferably 20% by mass or more. The solid content of the first resin component dispersion (first coating material) is, for example, 60% by mass or less, preferably 50% by mass or less.

[0120] The first resin layer 3 is, for example, a dried coating film of the above-mentioned dispersion liquid of the first resin component (first coating material). That is, the first resin layer 3 can be obtained, for example, by applying the first coating material to one surface of the substrate 2 and drying it.

[0121] The method for applying the first coating material is not particularly limited, and examples of the application method include blade coating, air knife coating, curtain coating, gravure coating, roll coating, dip coating, and spray coating.

[0122] The drying method of the first coating material is not particularly limited. Drying methods include natural drying and heat drying. The drying temperature is, for example, 20°C or higher, preferably 80°C or higher. The drying temperature is, for example, 200°C or lower, preferably 180°C or lower. The drying time is, for example, 1 second or higher, preferably 10 seconds or higher. The drying time is, for example, 1 hour or shorter, preferably 30 minutes or shorter.

[0123] As a result, the first resin layer 3 is obtained as a dried coating film of the first coating material.

[0124] The amount of the first resin layer 3 is, for example, 0.5 g / m from the viewpoints of blocking resistance, water resistance, oil resistance, and heat sealability. 2 More than 1 g / m 2 That's all.

[0125] The amount of the first resin layer 3 is, for example, 30 g / m from the viewpoints of blocking resistance, water resistance, oil resistance, and heat sealability. 2 Preferably, 14 g / m or less 2 The following is the result.

[0126] Such a first resin layer 3 is a dried coating film of the above-mentioned dispersion liquid (first coating material) of the first resin component. Therefore, the first resin layer 3 has excellent water resistance and oil resistance, and further has excellent blocking resistance and productivity.

[0127] In Fig. 1, the second resin layer 4 is laminated on one surface of the first resin layer 3. The second resin layer 4 contains a second resin component.

[0128] More specifically, the second resin layer 4 is, for example, a dried coating film of a dispersion liquid of a second resin component (hereinafter, may be referred to as a second coating material).

[0129] The second resin component contains a second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2).

[0130] The second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) is obtained by copolymerization of the monomer component (a2) for A2. The monomer component (a2) for A2 contains ethylene and the above-mentioned unsaturated carboxylic acid.

[0131] As the unsaturated carboxylic acid, from the viewpoint of water resistance and oil resistance, preferably, an unsaturated monobasic acid is used, more preferably, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, and salts thereof are used, and particularly preferably, methacrylic acid and salts thereof are used.

[0132] In the monomer component (a2) for A2, the unsaturated carboxylic acid may be used in combination with the vinyl esters as necessary. When the vinyl esters and the unsaturated carboxylic acid are used in combination, the ratio between them is appropriately set according to the purpose and application.

[0133] In the monomer component (a2) for A2, preferably, vinyl esters are not used in combination. More specifically, the monomer component (a2) for A2 preferably comprises ethylene and an unsaturated carboxylic acid.

[0134] In the monomer component (a2) for A2, the content ratio of ethylene and unsaturated carboxylic acid (and vinyl esters (hereinafter the same) blended as necessary) is appropriately set according to the purpose and application.

[0135] For example, the amount of ethylene is, for example, 75% by mass or more, preferably 78% by mass or more, and more preferably 80% by mass or more, based on the total amount of ethylene and the unsaturated carboxylic acid. Also, the amount of ethylene is, for example, 90% by mass or less, preferably 88% by mass or less, and more preferably 85% by mass or less, based on the total amount of ethylene and the unsaturated carboxylic acid. below It is.

[0136] For example, the content of the unsaturated carboxylic acid is, for example, 10% by mass or more, preferably 12% by mass or more, more preferably 15% by mass or more, based on the total amount of ethylene and the unsaturated carboxylic acid. For example, the content of the unsaturated carboxylic acid is, for example, 25% by mass or less, preferably 22% by mass or less, more preferably 20% by mass or less, based on the total amount of ethylene and the unsaturated carboxylic acid.

[0137] In the monomer component (a2) for A2, when the content ratio of ethylene and unsaturated carboxylic acid is within the above range, excellent water resistance and oil resistance can be obtained.

[0138] The composition of the monomer component (a2) for A2 may be the same as or different from the composition of the monomer component (a1) for A1 described above. That is, the composition of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) may be the same as or different from the composition of the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) described above.

[0139] From the viewpoint of adhesion between the first resin layer 3 and the second resin layer 4, the composition of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) is preferably the same as the composition of the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1).

[0140] The polymerization method of the monomer component (a2) for A2 is not particularly limited, and a known polymerization method is adopted. For example, the monomer component (a2) for A2 is polymerized in water under normal pressure. In the polymerization, for example, the polymerization initiator described above is mixed in an appropriate ratio.

[0141] In the polymerization of the monomer component (a2) for A2, the above-mentioned emulsifier (surfactant) and additives are added in an appropriate ratio, if necessary.

[0142] The polymerization temperature and polymerization time of the monomer component (a2) for A2 are appropriately set depending on the type and amount of the monomer component (a2) for A2.

[0143] As a result, the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) is obtained as a polymer of the A2 monomer component (a2).

[0144] The second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2), like the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1), is preferably neutralized and hydrated by the above-mentioned method, and further subjected to a swelling and softening treatment, from the viewpoint of dispersion stability.

[0145] Furthermore, when an unsaturated monobasic acid and / or an unsaturated dibasic acid is used as the unsaturated carboxylic acid, the unsaturated monobasic acid and / or the unsaturated dibasic acid become their salts by the above-mentioned neutralization and hydration.

[0146] The degree of neutralization of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) is, for example, 30% or more, preferably 50% or more, and for example, 200% or less, preferably 150% or less.

[0147] The weight average molecular weight (standard polystyrene equivalent) of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) is, for example, 10,000 or more, preferably 30,000 or more. The weight average molecular weight (standard polystyrene equivalent) of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) is, for example, 200,000 or less, preferably 150,000 or less.

[0148] The second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) has a melting point of, for example, 55°C or more, preferably 65°C or more, and for example, 110°C or less, preferably 100°C or less.

[0149] In the above method, preferably, a dispersion in which resin particles of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) are dispersed in water is obtained.

[0150] The dispersion of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) has a solid content concentration of, for example, 10 mass% or more, preferably 20 mass% or more. The dispersion of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) has a solid content concentration of, for example, 60 mass% or less, preferably 50 mass% or less.

[0151] The second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) has an average particle size (measurement method: light scattering measurement) of, for example, 0.01 μm or more, preferably 0.02 μm or more. The second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) has an average particle size (measurement method: light scattering measurement) of, for example, 10 μm or less, preferably 1 μm or less.

[0152] The dispersion of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) can also be obtained as a commercial product. The commercial dispersion of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) is, for example, the same as the commercial dispersion of the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) described above. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.

[0153] Such a second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) improves the water resistance and oil resistance of the second resin layer 4. In addition, the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) improves the blocking resistance of the second resin layer 4. In addition, the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) improves the heat seal property of the laminate 1 including the first resin layer 3 and the second resin layer 4.

[0154] The second resin component may further contain other resins, so long as it contains the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2).

[0155] An example of the other resin is a second acrylic polymer (B2).

[0156] The second acrylic polymer (B2) is obtained by polymerization of a monomer component (b2) for B2. The monomer component (b2) for B2 contains, for example, the above-mentioned (meth)acrylic acid ester. The monomer component (b2) for B2 can also contain the above-mentioned copolymerizable monomer in an appropriate ratio, if necessary.

[0157] For example, the (meth)acrylic acid ester is, for example, 10% by mass or more, preferably 20% by mass or more, more preferably 30% by mass or more, even more preferably 40% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 50% by mass or more, based on the total amount of the (meth)acrylic acid ester and the copolymerizable monomer. Also, the (meth)acrylic acid ester is, for example, 90% by mass or less, preferably 80% by mass or less, more preferably 70% by mass or less, and even more preferably 60% by mass or less, based on the total amount of the (meth)acrylic acid ester and the copolymerizable monomer. % The following is the result.

[0158] In addition, the copolymerizable monomer is, for example, 10 mass% or more, preferably 20 mass% or more, more preferably 30 mass% or more, and still more preferably 40 mass% or more, based on the total amount of the (meth)acrylic acid ester and the copolymerizable monomer. % In addition, the amount of the copolymerizable monomer relative to the total amount of the (meth)acrylic acid ester and the copolymerizable monomer is, for example, 90% by mass or less, preferably 80% by mass or less, more preferably 70% by mass or less, further preferably 60% by mass or less, and particularly preferably 50% by mass or less.

[0159] In the monomer component for B2, the copolymerizable monomer is preferably selected depending on the form of the second acrylic polymer (B2).

[0160] For example, when the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) and the second acrylic polymer (B2) do not form composite particles (C2) described below, but the second acrylic polymer (B2) forms independent resin particles, the copolymerizable monomer preferably contains a functional group-containing vinyl monomer and an aromatic vinyl monomer.

[0161] In such a case, the ratio of the functional group-containing vinyl monomer to the total amount of copolymerizable monomers in the monomer component for B2 is, for example, the same as the ratio of the functional group-containing vinyl monomer to the total amount of copolymerizable monomers in the monomer component for B1 described above.

[0162] Furthermore, for example, when the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) and the second acrylic polymer (B2) form the composite particle (C2) described below, the copolymerizable monomer preferably does not contain a functional group-containing vinyl monomer, and more preferably, the aromatic vinyl monomer is, for example, 100 mass% based on the total amount of the copolymerizable monomers.

[0163] The composition of the monomer component (b2) for B2 may be the same as or different from the composition of the monomer component (b1) for B1 described above. That is, the composition of the second acrylic polymer (B2) may be the same as or different from the composition of the first acrylic polymer (B1) described above.

[0164] From the viewpoint of adhesion between the first resin layer 3 and the second resin layer 4, the composition of the second acrylic polymer (B2) is preferably the same as the composition of the first acrylic polymer (B1).

[0165] Moreover, the other resins are not limited to the second acrylic resin (B2), but may also include the binder resins described above.

[0166] The proportion of other resins (including the second acrylic resin (B2)) relative to the total amount of the second resin component is 5 mass% or less, preferably 3 mass% or less, more preferably 1 mass% or less, and particularly preferably 0 mass%.

[0167] That is, the proportion of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) is 95 mass % or more, preferably 97 mass % or more, and more preferably 99 mass % or more, based on the total amount of the second resin component.

[0168] When the proportion of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) is above the above lower limit, the second resin layer 4 has excellent blocking resistance, water resistance, oil resistance and heat sealability.

[0169] From the viewpoints of blocking resistance, water resistance, oil resistance and heat sealability, the proportion of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) is particularly preferably 100 mass % based on the total amount of the second resin component.

[0170] In other words, the second resin component particularly preferably does not contain other resins (including the second acrylic resin (B2)) and consists of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2).

[0171] In the second resin component, the form of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) and the form of other resins (including the second acrylic resin (B2)) that are blended as necessary are not particularly limited.

[0172] For example, the second resin component may contain only resin particles made of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2).

[0173] In such a case, the dispersion of the second resin component (second coating material) is prepared by a known method. For example, first, the A2 monomer component (a2) is polymerized by the above-mentioned method. This results in a dispersion of resin particles consisting of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) (hereinafter, A2 dispersion).

[0174] The dispersion of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as A2 dispersion) can be used as it is as a dispersion of the second resin component (second coating material).

[0175] Similarly to the above-mentioned first coating material, the second coating material may be a mixture of a dispersion of a second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) and a mixture of a second acrylic polymer (B2) (hereinafter sometimes referred to as B2 dispersion).

[0176] In such a case, the B1 monomer component (b1) is polymerized by the above-mentioned method separately from the A2 dispersion liquid, thereby obtaining a dispersion liquid of resin particles composed solely of the first acrylic polymer (B1) (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as B1 dispersion liquid).

[0177] Then, the A2 dispersion and the B2 dispersion are mixed so that the ratio of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) and the ratio of the second acrylic polymer (B2) are within the above ranges.

[0178] As a result, a dispersion of the second resin component (second coating material) is obtained as a mixture of the dispersion of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) and the second acrylic polymer (B2).

[0179] Also, the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) and the second acrylic polymer (B2) can form composite particles (C2).

[0180] That is, the second resin component can contain composite particles (C2) containing a second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) and a second acrylic polymer (B2).

[0181] The composite particle (C2) contains, for example, a second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) and a second acrylic polymer (B2), and is preferably composed of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) and the second acrylic polymer (B2).

[0182] The structure of the composite particle (C2) is not particularly limited, and may be the same as that of the composite particle (C1) described above. The composite particle (C2) is produced by the same method as that of the composite particle (C1).

[0183] The dispersion in which the composite particles (C2) are dispersed in water (hereinafter, may be referred to as C2 dispersion) can be used as it is as a dispersion of the second resin component (second coating material).

[0184] If necessary, the A2 dispersion may be mixed with the B1 dispersion and / or the C1 dispersion, and the mixing ratios thereof are adjusted so that the ratio of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) and the ratio of the second acrylic polymer (B2) are each within the above range.

[0185] As the dispersion of the second resin component (second coating material), a dispersion of resin particles of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) alone (A2 dispersion) is preferably used.

[0186] The dispersion of the second resin component (second coating material) may contain the above-mentioned additives as necessary. The mixing ratio and timing of the additives are appropriately set according to the purpose and application.

[0187] The solid content of the second resin component dispersion (second coating material) is, for example, 10% by mass or more, preferably 20% by mass or more. The solid content of the second resin component dispersion (second coating material) is, for example, 60% by mass or less, preferably 50% by mass or less.

[0188] The second resin layer 4 is, for example, a dried coating film of the above-mentioned dispersion liquid of the second resin component (second coating material). That is, the second resin layer 4 can be obtained, for example, by applying the second coating material to one surface of the first resin layer 3 and drying it.

[0189] The second coating material can be applied by the above-mentioned coating methods.

[0190] The second coating material may be applied, for example, to a dried coating film of the first resin component. Also, the second coating material may be applied to a coating film of the first resin component before drying (wet coating film).

[0191] The drying method of the second coating material is not particularly limited. Drying methods include natural drying and heat drying. The drying temperature is, for example, 20°C or higher, preferably 80°C or higher. The drying temperature is, for example, 200°C or lower, preferably 180°C or lower. The drying time is, for example, 1 second or higher, preferably 10 seconds or higher. The drying time is, for example, 1 hour or shorter, preferably 30 minutes or shorter.

[0192] As a result, the second resin layer 4 is obtained as a dried coating film of the second coating material.

[0193] The amount of the second resin layer 4 is, for example, 0.5 g / m from the viewpoints of blocking resistance, water resistance, oil resistance and heat sealability. 2 More than 1 g / m 2 That's all.

[0194] The amount of the second resin layer 4 is, for example, 30 g / m from the viewpoints of blocking resistance, water resistance, oil resistance, and heat sealability. 2 Preferably, 14 g / m or less 2 The following is the result.

[0195] Such a second resin layer 4 is a dried coating film of the above-mentioned dispersion liquid of the second resin component, and therefore the second resin layer 4 has particularly excellent blocking resistance and heat sealability.

[0196] The second coating material may be applied together with the first coating material, and in this case, the coating method may be, for example, a curtain coating method.

[0197] When the first coating material and the second coating material are applied at the same time, the first coating material and the second coating material are dried at the same time. In such a case, the drying method includes natural drying and heat drying. The drying temperature is, for example, 20° C. or higher, preferably 80° C. or higher. The drying temperature is, for example, 200° C. or lower, preferably 180° C. or lower. The drying time is, for example, 1 second or higher, preferably 10 seconds or higher. The drying time is, for example, 1 hour or shorter, preferably 30 minutes or shorter.

[0198] As a result, a first resin layer 3 is obtained as a dried film of the first coating material. At the same time, a second resin layer 4 is obtained as a dried film of the second coating material.

[0199] The total amount of the first resin layer 3 and the second resin layer 4 is, for example, 1 g / m2 from the viewpoints of blocking resistance, water resistance, oil resistance, and heat sealability. 2 More than 2 g / m 2 That's all.

[0200] The total amount of the first resin layer 3 and the second resin layer 4 is, for example, 30 g / m 2 in terms of blocking resistance, water resistance, oil resistance, and heat sealability. 2 Preferably, 15 g / m or less 2 The following is the result.

[0201] In this manner, a laminate 1 including the substrate 2, the first resin layer 3 and the second resin layer 4 is obtained.

[0202] The laminate 1 has a total thickness of, for example, 0.1 μm or more, or preferably 1 μm or more. The laminate 1 has a total thickness of, for example, 1500 μm or less, or preferably 1000 μm or less.

[0203] Such a laminate 1 includes a substrate 2, a first resin layer 3 containing a first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) and a first acrylic polymer (B1), and a second resin layer 4 containing a second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2). In the first resin layer 3, the proportion of the ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) is adjusted to a predetermined range. In the first resin layer 3, the glass transition temperature of the first acrylic polymer (B1) is adjusted to a predetermined range. In the second resin layer 4, the proportion of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) is a predetermined value or more.

[0204] In such a laminate 1, the second resin layer 4 has excellent blocking resistance. Therefore, the laminate 1 has blocking resistance. In addition, the first resin layer 3 has excellent water resistance and oil resistance. Therefore, the laminate 1 has excellent water resistance and oil resistance.

[0205] More specifically, in the laminate 1, blocking resistance is a property required for a layer disposed on the outer side (preferably the outermost surface), whereas water resistance and oil resistance are properties required for a layer disposed on the inner side.

[0206] Therefore, in the laminate 1, the second resin layer 4 having particularly excellent blocking resistance is disposed on the outer side. Furthermore, in the laminate 1, the first resin layer 3 having particularly excellent water resistance and oil resistance is disposed on the inner side.

[0207] As a result, the laminate 1 has excellent blocking resistance on the outer side, and excellent water resistance and oil resistance on the inner side.

[0208] Furthermore, the first resin layer 3 has excellent blocking resistance. Therefore, even if the second resin layer 4 is not disposed, the transport efficiency of the substrate 2 and the first resin layer 3 is excellent, and the lamination efficiency of the second resin layer 4 is excellent. As a result, the production efficiency of the laminate 1 is improved.

[0209] In addition, since the second resin layer 4 is disposed on one side of the first resin layer 3, the laminate 1 has excellent heat seal properties.

[0210] As a result, the laminate 1 has excellent blocking resistance, water resistance, oil resistance, heat sealability and production efficiency.

[0211] In the above description, the first resin layer 3 is disposed directly on one surface of the substrate 2. However, the first resin layer 3 does not have to be disposed directly on the surface of the substrate 2. That is, an intermediate layer may be interposed between the substrate 2 and the first resin layer 3. Examples of the intermediate layer include an undercoat layer and a primer layer.

[0212] In the above description, the second resin layer 4 is disposed directly on one surface of the first resin layer 3. However, the second resin layer 4 does not have to be disposed directly on the surface of the first resin layer 3. In other words, an intermediate layer may be interposed between the first resin layer 3 and the second resin layer 4. Examples of the intermediate layer include an undercoat layer and a primer layer.

[0213] Moreover, the first resin layer 3 and the second resin layer 4 may be disposed on at least one side of the base material 2. In other words, the first resin layer 3 and / or the second resin layer 4 may be disposed on the other side of the base material 2 relative to one side.

[0214] The laminate 1 described above is suitable for use as a packaging material in various industrial fields.

[0215] The packaged item to be packaged by the laminate 1 is not particularly limited. Examples of the packaged item include food, aromatic substances, and industrial products. Examples of the food include confectionery, tea leaves, and spices. Examples of the aromatic substances include tobacco and fragrant wood. Examples of the industrial products include medicines and paper. EXAMPLES

Thus, an A1 dispersion was obtained.

This resulted in the formation of a first acrylic polymer (B1) and a dispersion of composite particles (C1).

[0221] A part of the obtained aqueous dispersion was dried and the solid particles were observed under an electron microscope. As a result, composite particles (C1) having a particle diameter of 80 to 120 nm and a structure in which the first acrylic polymer (B1) was dispersed in a continuous phase of the first ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A1) were observed.

[0222] (2) Second coating material Preparation example 4 (A2 dispersion) Chemipearl S100 (ethylene content in raw material: 85% by mass, type of unsaturated carboxylic acid: methacrylic acid, neutralized with sodium hydroxide, solid content 27%, manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals) was prepared as the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2). Thus, an A2 dispersion was obtained.

This resulted in a B2 dispersion.

[0224] Separately, 48.2 parts by mass of styrene, 51.8 parts by mass of n-butyl acrylate, and 0.2 parts by mass of n-dodecyl mercaptan (molecular weight regulator) were emulsified in 40 parts by mass of deionized water with 0.4 parts by mass of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (emulsifier), and the resulting emulsion mixture was dropped into a reaction vessel over 2 hours, and then maintained at 80° C. for 2 hours to complete the polymerization. This resulted in the formation of a second acrylic polymer (B2) and a dispersion of composite particles (C2).

[0225] A part of the obtained aqueous dispersion was dried and the solid particles were observed under an electron microscope. As a result, composite particles (C2) having a particle diameter of 80 to 120 nm and a structure in which the second acrylic polymer (B2) was dispersed in a continuous phase of the second ethylene-unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer (A2) were observed.
