Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a vapor-deposited resin film, a laminate including the vapor-deposited resin film, and a packaging container including the laminate. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, films made of resin materials (resin films) have been used as substrates (hereinafter referred to as substrates for packaging materials) constituting laminates used in the manufacture of packaging containers such as packaging bags, etc. As such films, for example, polyester films are widely used because they are excellent in mechanical properties, chemical stability, heat resistance, and transparency, and are inexpensive.
[0003] The fossil fuel polyesters used in the manufacture of polyester film are copolymers of dicarboxylic acids and diols, which are produced from the fossil fuel petroleum. In recent years, with the aim of reducing the environmental burden, such as by cutting carbon dioxide emissions, packaging containers have been produced using polyester obtained by mechanically recycling polyester contained in used packaging containers (hereinafter referred to as mechanically recycled polyester) instead of fossil fuel polyester (see Patent Document 1).
[0004] However, the degree of contamination of packaging containers varies depending on the contents filled in them and the storage environment. It is possible that consumers may be concerned about hygiene when using packaging containers made of mechanically recycled polyester. Therefore, from the viewpoint of hygiene, the use of chemically recycled polyester is being considered. Chemically recycled polyester is obtained by decomposing polyester contained in used packaging containers to the monomer level, removing contaminants, and then polymerizing it again, which is more hygienic.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0020] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figures 1 to 14. In the drawings attached to this specification, the scale and aspect ratios have been appropriately changed and exaggerated from those of the actual objects for the convenience of illustration and ease of understanding.
[0021] In addition, terms used in this specification that specify shapes, geometric conditions, and the degree thereof, such as "parallel," "orthogonal," and "same," as well as values of length and angle, are not to be bound by strict meanings, but are to be interpreted to include a range within which similar functions can be expected.
[0022] In this specification, the term "inside" refers to the side of the contents when the packaging container is manufactured, and the term "outside" refers to the side opposite the inside.
[0023] (Vapor-deposited resin film 10) As shown in FIG. 1, a vapor-deposited resin film 10 of the present invention includes a polyester film 11 and a vapor-deposited film 12. 1, the polyester film 11 includes at least a first polyester layer 13, a second polyester layer 14, and a third polyester layer 15. This makes it possible to improve the environmental load reduction of the vapor-deposited resin film 10 and the laminate 20 including the vapor-deposited resin film 10, and to provide gas barrier properties equivalent to those of conventional fossil fuel polyester films. In one embodiment, the vapor-deposited resin film 10 comprises, in order, a polyester film 11, a vapor-deposited film 12, and a gas barrier coating film, and the gas barrier coating film may be adjacent to the vapor-deposited film 12 (not shown).
[0024] (Polyester film 11) Polyester film 11 is A first polyester layer 13 containing chemically recycled polyester as a main component; A second polyester layer 14 including at least one selected from the group consisting of chemically recycled polyester, mechanically recycled polyester, fossil fuel polyester, and biomass polyester; and a third polyester layer 15 containing chemically recycled polyester as a main constituent component. When a packaging container is produced using the polyester film 11 of the present invention, the first polyester layer 13 may be placed either on the inside or the outside.

The other polyester layer may contain chemically recycled polyester as a main component, or may contain chemically recycled polyester and at least one selected from the group consisting of mechanically recycled polyester, fossil fuel polyester, and biomass polyester.
[0026] In this specification, the term "polyester" refers to a material obtained by a polycondensation reaction between a diol compound and a dicarboxylic acid compound. Examples of dicarboxylic acid compounds include malonic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid, dodecanedioic acid, eicosanedioic acid, pimelic acid, azelaic acid, methylmalonic acid, ethylmalonic acid, adamantanedicarboxylic acid, norbornenedicarboxylic acid, cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, decalindicarboxylic acid, terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, phthalic acid, 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 1,5-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 1,8-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 4,4'-diphenyldicarboxylic acid, 4,4'-diphenyletherdicarboxylic acid, 5-sodiumsulfoisophthalic acid, phenylendanedicarboxylic acid, anthracenedicarboxylic acid, phenanthrenedicarboxylic acid, 9,9'-bis(4-carboxyphenyl)fluorene acid, and ester derivatives thereof. Examples of the diol compound include ethylene glycol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, butanediol, 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, hexanediol, neopentyl glycol, cyclohexanedimethanol, cyclohexanediethanol, decahydronaphthalenedimethanol, decahydronaphthalenediethanol, norbornanedimethanol, norbornanediethanol, tricyclodecanedimethanol, tricyclodecaneethanol, tetracyclododecanedimethanol, tetracyclododecanediethanol, decalindimethanol, decalindiethanol, Examples of the copolymer include 5-methylol-5-ethyl-2-(1,1-dimethyl-2-hydroxyethyl)-1,3-dioxane, cyclohexanediol, bicyclohexyl-4,4'-diol, 2,2-bis(4-hydroxycyclohexylpropane), 2,2-bis(4-(2-hydroxyethoxy)cyclohexyl)propane, cyclopentanediol, 3-methyl-1,2-cyclopentadiol, 4-cyclopentene-1,3-diol, adamantanediol, paraxylene glycol, bisphenol A, bisphenol S, styrene glycol, trimethylolpropane, and pentaerythritol. Furthermore, the polyester may contain a monomer other than the dicarboxylic acid compound and the diol compound, so long as the characteristics of the present invention are not impaired.
[0027] In addition, in this specification, "chemically recycled polyester" refers to a material obtained by collecting used polyester (for example, at least one polyester selected from the group consisting of fossil fuel polyester, biomass polyester, chemically recycled polyester, and mechanically recycled polyester) containers, crushing, washing, separating foreign matter, and forming them into flakes or pellets, which are then depolymerized using ethylene glycol to decompose into bis-β-hydroxyethyl terephthalate (BHET), and polyester is polymerized again using BHET as a raw material. Note that the decomposition method, etc. are not limited to this. In addition, in this specification, "mechanically recycled polyester" refers to polyester (e.g., at least one polyester selected from the group consisting of fossil fuel polyester, biomass polyester, chemically recycled polyester, and mechanically recycled polyester) containers, etc., that are collected, crushed, washed, separated from foreign matter, etc., and then regenerated into flakes or pellets. Moreover, the term "fossil fuel polyester" refers to a polyester in which a diol derived from a fossil fuel is used as a diol unit and a dicarboxylic acid derived from a fossil fuel is used as a dicarboxylic acid unit. The term "biomass polyester" refers to a polyester that contains ethylene glycol derived from biomass as a diol unit and a dicarboxylic acid derived from a fossil fuel as a dicarboxylic acid unit, or that contains ethylene glycol derived from biomass and a diol derived from a fossil fuel as diol units and a dicarboxylic acid derived from a fossil fuel as a dicarboxylic acid unit. Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere contains a certain percentage of C14 (105.5 pMC), so it is known that the C14 content in plants that grow by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, such as corn, is also about 105.5 pMC. It is also known that fossil fuels contain almost no C14. Therefore, the percentage of carbon derived from biomass can be calculated by measuring the percentage of C14 in the total carbon atoms in polyester. Taking polyethylene terephthalate as an example, polyethylene terephthalate is a polymer of ethylene glycol containing 2 carbon atoms and terephthalic acid containing 8 carbon atoms in a molar ratio of 1:1. Therefore, if only biomass-derived ethylene glycol is used, the weight ratio of biomass-derived components in polyester is 31.25%, so the theoretical value of the biomass degree is 31.25%.
[0028] Moreover, "containing chemically recycled polyester as a main constituent" means that the first polyester layer or the second polyester layer contains 50% by mass or more of chemically recycled polyester relative to 100% by mass of the solid content contained in the first polyester layer or the second polyester layer.
[0029] The content of the chemically recycled polyester in the first polyester layer 13 is preferably 80% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, and more preferably 90% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less. The first polyester layer 13 preferably contains polyester in an amount of 90% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, and more preferably contains polyester in an amount of 95% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less.
[0030] Among the chemically recycled polyesters contained in the first polyester layer 13, chemically recycled polyethylene terephthalate is particularly preferred from the viewpoints of transparency and ease of recovery of used polyethylene terephthalate containers, which are the raw material. The first polyester layer 13 may contain two or more types of chemically recycled polyesters.

[0036] The content of the chemically recycled polyester in the second polyester layer 14 is not particularly limited as long as it satisfies the area ratio of the region of molecular weight of 1,000 or less in the molecular weight distribution curve obtained by GPC measurement of the polyester film 11 described below, but is preferably 20% by mass or more and 99% by mass or less, and more preferably 50% by mass or more and 99% by mass or less. The second polyester layer 14 may contain two or more types of chemically recycled polyesters.
[0037] The sum of the contents of the mechanically recycled polyester, fossil fuel polyester and biomass polyester in the second polyester layer 14 is not particularly limited as long as it satisfies the area proportion of the region with a molecular weight of 1,000 or less in the molecular weight distribution curve obtained by GPC measurement of the polyester film 11 described below, but is preferably 1% by mass or more and 80% by mass or less, and more preferably 1% by mass or more and 50% by mass or less.

[0039] The chemically recycled polyester and at least one polyester selected from the group consisting of mechanically recycled polyester, fossil fuel polyester, and biomass polyester contained in the second polyester layer 14 are preferably polyethylene terephthalate, which improves the transparency of the polyester film 11 and facilitates the recovery of used containers.
[0040] As long as the characteristics of the present invention are not impaired, the second polyester layer 14 may contain a resin material other than polyester, such as (meth)acrylic resin, polyolefin, vinyl resin, cellulose resin, and ionomer resin.

[0042] Furthermore, the second polyester layer 14 may contain additives, provided that the properties of the present invention are not impaired. Examples of additives include oxygen absorbers, plasticizers, UV stabilizers, antioxidants, coloring inhibitors, matting agents, deodorants, flame retardants, weather resistance agents, antistatic agents, friction reducers, slip agents, release agents, antioxidants, ion exchange agents, antiblocking agents, and colorants.
[0043] The thickness of the second polyester layer 14 is preferably 1 μm or more and 12 μm or less, more preferably 2 μm or more and 6 μm or less, which realizes an appropriate thickness and a layer ratio that is nearly symmetrical, thereby improving the stability of film-forming properties and physical properties.
[0044] The content of the chemically recycled polyester in the third polyester layer 15 is preferably 80% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, and more preferably 90% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less. In addition, the third polyester layer 15 preferably contains 90% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less of polyester, and more preferably contains 95% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less of polyester.

[0049] The thickness of the third polyester layer 15 is preferably 1 μm or more and 12 μm or less, and preferably 2 μm or more and 6 μm or less. Thereby, an appropriate thickness and a layer ratio close to a symmetric shape are realized, and the film-forming property and the stability of physical properties are improved.
[0050] The configuration of the third polyester layer 15 may be the same as or different from the configuration of the first polyester layer 13.
[0051] The polyester film 11 is characterized in that the area ratio of the region with a molecular weight of 1,000 or less in the molecular weight distribution curve obtained by measuring the polyester film 11 by GPC (gel permeation chromatography) is 1.8% or less of the total peak area. Since such polyester film 11 has a reduced content of components with a molecular weight of 1,000 or less (hereinafter also referred to as low molecular weight components), it is possible to suppress the low molecular weight components from being mixed into the contents filled in the packaging container, and to improve the hygiene of the packaging container manufactured using the vapor-deposited resin film of the present invention. It is more preferable that the area ratio of the region having a molecular weight of 1,000 or less is 1.7% or less of the total peak area. From the viewpoint of hygiene, it is preferable that the area ratio of the region having a molecular weight of 1,000 or less is smaller relative to the total peak area, but the area ratio of the region having a molecular weight of 1,000 or less may be, for example, 0.01% or more of the total peak area.
[0052] The GPC measurement of the polyester film 11 is carried out in accordance with JIS K 7252-1:2008. Specifically, 10 g of the polyester film 11 is cut out and weighed in a 30 mL vial, and a HFIP / chloroform mixture is added to the vial, which is then left to stand for 12 hours to dissolve. After allowing to stand, add chloroform to dilute and prepare a 0.1% solution. This solution is filtered using a 0.45 μm hydrophilic PTFE membrane filter cartridge (Millex-LH, manufactured by Merck Millipore), and the obtained filtrate is subjected to GPC measurement under the following conditions. (Measurement conditions) Columns used: Agilent Technologies, 2 PLgel 5μ MIXED (7.5mm x 300mm) Column temperature: 40℃ Mobile phase: Chloroform (Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., for liquid chromatography) ·Flow rate: 1.0mL / min ·Injection volume: 2.5μL Detection: 254nm (UV-Visible detector) Molecular weight calibration: Monodisperse polystyrene (Agilent Technologies, PS-1) Equipment: 515 HPLC pump, 717plus automatic injection device, UV-visible detector (Waters)
[0053] The melting point of the polyester film 11 is preferably 250° C. or less, and more preferably 248.5° C. or less, which allows the polyester film 11 to be formed at a high speed, that is, improves the film formability.
[0054] The melting point of the polyester film 11 is preferably 230° C. or higher, and more preferably 240° C. or higher, so that the heat resistance of the polyester film 11 can be improved.
[0055] The crystallization temperature of the polyester film 11 is preferably 196° C. or lower, and more preferably 195° C. or lower, which can improve the stretching stability of the polyester film 11, that is, improve the film-forming properties. The crystallization temperature of the polyester film 11 is preferably 185° C. or higher, and more preferably 190° C. or higher, so that the heat resistance of the polyester film 11 can be improved.
[0056] In this specification, the "melting point" and "crystallization temperature" are measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in accordance with JIS K 7121:2012 as follows. First, (1) a polyester film sample (5 mg) is heated from 20°C to 300°C at a rate of 10°C / min. (2) It is then held at 300°C for 5 minutes. (3) It is then cooled from 300°C to 20°C at a rate of -10°C / min. (4) It is then held at 20°C for 5 minutes. (5) It is again heated from 20°C to 300°C at a rate of 10°C / min. This gives a melting curve. The main peak in the temperature-lowering stage of this melting curve was taken as the crystallization temperature, and the main peak in the second temperature-up stage was taken as the melting point.
[0057] The static friction coefficient of the surface of the polyester film 11 on which the vapor-deposited film is not formed is preferably 0.35 or more, and more preferably 0.40 or more, which can suppress excessive slippage on the surface of the packaging container produced using the vapor-deposited resin film of the present invention and improve the stacking stability when stacked. The static friction coefficient of the surface of the polyester film 11 on which the vapor-deposited film is not formed is preferably 0.60 or less, and more preferably 0.50 or less, which stabilizes the running performance in a packaging machine and improves the high-speed filling and packaging performance. The static friction coefficient of the polyester film 11 can be measured in accordance with JIS K 7125:1999 as follows.
[0058] First, the deposited resin film 10 is cut to prepare a test piece of 200 mm×150 mm. Next, this test piece is attached and fixed to the sliding table of the tester with cellophane tape so that the polyester film 11 faces upward. Next, the evaporated resin film 10 is cut into a size of 70 mm x 100 mm to prepare a test piece. Next, the test piece is wrapped around a metal thread (weight: 200 g) of 63 mm×63 mm×6.3 mm, with the vapor-deposited film on the inside and the polyester film 11 on the outside. Next, the polyester films 11 are placed on the fixed vapor-deposited resin film 10 so that the polyester films 11 are in contact with each other. Next, in an environment of 23° C. and a relative humidity of 50%, the metal thread around which the test piece is wound is slid at a speed of 100 mm / min, and the friction is measured using a friction meter.
[0059] In the vapor-deposited resin film 10 according to the present invention, the content of the cyclic trimer in the polyester film 11 is preferably 0.510% by mass to 1.030% by mass, more preferably 0.600% by mass to 1.010% by mass, and even more preferably 0.650% by mass to 1.000% by mass. By setting the content of the cyclic trimer within this range, it is possible to suitably produce the polyester film 11 having the above-mentioned melting point and crystallization temperature, and the vapor-deposited resin film having the above-mentioned static friction coefficient.
[0060] The content of the cyclic trimer in the polyester film 11 can be measured by the following method. Approximately 0.1 g of a sample is taken from the polyester film 11 and dissolved in a mixture of hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) and chloroform. Acetonitrile is added to this solution to precipitate the polymer, and the precipitate is then filtered. The filtrate is evaporated to dryness, and the resulting residue is dissolved in dimethylformamide (DMF). This solution is analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to measure the content of cyclic trimers. The measurement conditions are as follows: (Measurement conditions) Equipment: Shimadzu Corporation, LC-20 Column used: Nomura Chemical Co., Ltd., Develosil ODS-HG-3 3μ (4.6×150mm) Column temperature: 40℃ Mobile phase: 0.5% acetic acid aqueous solution / acetonitrile (gradient) ·Flow rate: 1.0mL / min ·Injection volume: 15μL Detection: 254nm (UV-Visible detector) Equipment: Shimadzu Corporation, LC-20

[0145] Next, the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to examples. However, the present invention is not limited to the description of the following examples as long as it does not depart from the gist of the present invention.
[0146] (Example 1-1) Chemically recycled polyethylene terephthalate and a blend resin of chemically recycled polyester and fossil fuel polyethylene terephthalate were co-extruded and then biaxially stretched to produce a polyester film 11 having a first polyester layer 13 made of chemically recycled polyester and having a thickness of 3 μm, a second polyester layer 14 made of the blend resin and having a thickness of 6 μm, and a third polyester layer 15 made of chemically recycled polyester and having a thickness of 3 μm.
[0147] A vapor-deposited film 12 having a thickness of 20 nm was formed on the surface of the third polyester layer 15 of this polyester film 11 by a PVD method, thereby obtaining a vapor-deposited resin film 10 of the present invention.
[0148] (Comparative Example 1-1) Fossil fuel polyethylene terephthalate was extruded by the T-die method, and then biaxially stretched to produce a polyester film with a thickness of 12 μm.
[0149] A vapor-deposited film having a thickness of 20 nm was formed on one surface of this polyester film by a PVD method to obtain a vapor-deposited resin film.
[0150] <<Measurement of the composition ratio of low molecular weight components>> The polyester films obtained in the above Examples and Comparative Examples were prepared, and 10 g of each was cut out and weighed in a 30 mL vial. A HFIP / chloroform mixture was added to the vial, and the mixture was allowed to stand for 12 hours to dissolve. After standing, chloroform was added to dilute the solution to prepare a 0.1% solution. This solution was filtered using a 0.45 μm hydrophilic PTFE membrane filter cartridge (Millex-LH, manufactured by Merck Millipore), and the obtained filtrate was subjected to GPC measurement under the following conditions. In the obtained molecular weight distribution curve, the area ratio of the region having a molecular weight of 1,000 or less was determined. The area ratio of the region having a molecular weight of 1,000 or less is shown in Table 1. The molecular weight distribution curve in the region having a molecular weight of 1,000 or less is shown in FIG. (Measurement conditions) Column used: Agilent Technologies, 2xPLgel 5μ MIXED (7.5mm x 300mm) Column temperature: 40℃ Mobile phase: Chloroform (Fujifilm Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd., for liquid chromatography) ·Flow rate: 1.0mL / min ·Injection volume: 2.5μL Detection: 254nm (UV-Visible detector) Molecular weight calibration: Monodisperse polystyrene (Agilent Technologies, PS-1) Equipment: 515 HPLC pump, 717plus automatic injection device, UV-visible detector (Waters)
[0151] <<Cyclic trimer content measurement>> The polyester films obtained in the above Examples and Comparative Examples were prepared. Approximately 0.1 g of a sample was taken from the polyester film, and this sample was dissolved in a mixture of hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) and chloroform. Acetonitrile was added to this solution to precipitate the polymer, and the precipitate was then filtered. The filtrate was evaporated to dryness, and the resulting residue was dissolved in dimethylformamide (DMF). This solution was analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) to measure the content of cyclic trimers. The measurement results are shown in Table 1. The measurement conditions were as follows. (Measurement conditions) Equipment: Shimadzu Corporation, LC-20 Column used: Nomura Chemical Co., Ltd., Develosil ODS-HG-3 3μ (4.6×150mm) Column temperature: 40℃ Mobile phase: 0.5% acetic acid aqueous solution / acetonitrile (gradient) ·Flow rate: 1.0mL / min ·Injection volume: 15μL Detection: 254nm (UV-Visible detector) Equipment: Shimadzu Corporation, LC-20
[0152] <<Crystallization temperature and melting point measurement>> The polyester films obtained in the above Examples and Comparative Examples were prepared, and 5 mg of each film was cut out to obtain samples. The sample was heated from 20°C to 300°C at a rate of 10°C / min and held at 300°C for 5 minutes. The sample was then cooled from 300°C to 20°C at a rate of -10°C / min. The sample was then held at 20°C for 5 minutes. The sample was then heated again from 20°C to 300°C at a rate of 10°C / min. This gave a melting curve. The main peak in the temperature-lowering stage of this melting curve was taken as the crystallization temperature, and the main peak in the second temperature-up stage was taken as the melting point. The crystallization temperature and melting point are shown in Table 1.
[0153] <<Measurement of static friction coefficient>> The deposited resin films obtained in the above Examples and Comparative Examples were prepared, and each deposited resin film was cut to prepare a test piece of 200 mm x 150 mm. Next, this test piece was attached and fixed to the sliding table of the tester with cellophane tape so that the polyester film (the first polyester layer in Example 1-1) faced upward. Next, a test piece of 70 mm × 100 mm was cut from the vapor-deposited resin film and wrapped around a 63 mm × 63 mm × 6.3 mm metal thread (weight 200 g) with the vapor-deposited film on the inside and the polyester film (first polyester layer for Example 1-1) on the outside. Next, the polyester films (the first polyester layer in Example 1-1) were placed on the fixed vapor-deposited resin film so as to be in contact with each other. Next, the metal thread around which the test piece was wound was slid at a speed of 100 mm / min in an environment of 23° C. and 50% relative humidity, and the friction was measured using a friction measuring device (TR-2, manufactured by Toyo Seiki Co., Ltd.). The measurement results are shown in Table 1.
[0154] <<Hygiene evaluation>> The polyester films obtained in the above Examples and Comparative Examples were prepared, and each of the deposited resin films was cut to prepare test pieces of 200 mm x 200 mm. Next, 80 mL of ion-exchanged water was placed in a 100 mL glass flask, and the above test piece was placed therein. The opening of the glass flask was then covered with aluminum foil, and the glass flask was placed in a water bath and heated at 80° C. for 60 minutes. After the glass flask was cooled to room temperature, three panelists checked the change in taste of the ion-exchanged water before and after the above treatment. Since the taste of ion-exchanged water changes when low molecular weight components are mixed in, the polyester film, which did not change the taste of the ion-exchanged water, can suppress the mixing of low molecular weight components into the ion-exchanged water and is therefore excellent in hygiene. Hygiene was evaluated based on the following evaluation criteria. The evaluation results are shown in Table 2. Reference Example 1-1 was performed as described above without using a test piece. <Evaluation criteria> A: None of the three people noticed any change in taste. B: Two out of three people did not notice any change in taste. NG: More than two out of three people noticed a change in taste.

[0157] (Example 2-1) A vapor-deposited resin film 10 was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1-1. The vapor-deposited resin film 10 and a biaxially stretched nylon film were bonded together by a dry lamination method using a two-component curing adhesive (manufactured by Toyo-Morton: base agent TM556 / curing agent CAT56). The biaxially stretched nylon film of this dry laminate film was bonded to an unstretched polyethylene film by a dry lamination method using a two-component curing adhesive. This resulted in a laminate 20 in which the vapor-deposited resin film 10, the adhesive layer, the biaxially oriented nylon film, the adhesive layer, and the sealant layer were laminated in this order. Note that the vapor-deposited film 12 of the vapor-deposited resin film 10 was located on the adhesive layer side.
[0158] (Comparative Example 2-1) A deposited resin film was prepared in the same manner as in Comparative Example 1-1. A laminate was obtained in the same manner as in Example 2-1, except that this deposited resin film was used as the deposited resin film 10.
[0159] <<Oxygen permeability measurement>> The oxygen permeability was measured using the laminates obtained in Example 2-1 and Comparative Example 2-1. The oxygen permeability was measured in accordance with JIS K7126 under an environment of 23°C temperature and 90% relative humidity, using an oxygen permeability measuring device (manufactured by MOCON [model name: OX-TRAN 2 / 21]). The measurement results are shown in Table 3.
[0160] <<Water vapor transmission rate measurement>> The water vapor permeability was measured using the laminates obtained in Example 2-1 and Comparative Example 2-1. The water vapor permeability was measured in an environment of a temperature of 40°C and a relative humidity of 90% in accordance with the JIS K7129 method, and a water vapor permeability measuring device (a measuring device manufactured by MOCON (model name: PERMATRAN 3 / 33)) was used as the measuring device. The measurement results are shown in Table 3.
