Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a laminate, a laminated laminate, and a packaging material.
Background Art
[0002] For packaging of foods, daily necessities, etc., a packaging material having a laminate structure in which a plastic film and a resin layer functioning as a sealant layer are laminated is used. Such a packaging material is usually provided with an ink layer for the purpose of decoration, information description, etc. The ink layer is formed, for example, by printing on a plastic film with gravure ink or the like. The ink layer is often located between the plastic film and the resin layer. In recent years, in order to further improve the design and functionality, in a packaging material having a laminate structure, a matte ink layer may be provided on a part or the whole of the surface of the plastic film on the side (visual recognition side) directly touched by the consumer. As an example of the configuration of such a packaging material, a configuration such as "matte ink layer / plastic film / ink layer / adhesive layer / resin layer" can be cited. In manufacturing a packaging material having such a configuration, a laminate having a configuration of "matte ink layer / plastic film / ink layer" may be manufactured in advance, and then this laminate and the resin layer may be laminated.
[0003] An important physical property required for the above ink layer is adhesion to the plastic film and the adhesive layer. If the adhesion of the ink layer to the plastic film or the adhesive layer is low, the laminate strength of the packaging material becomes weak. The laminate strength is important for suppressing laminate peeling and appearance defects. Important physical properties required for the above matte ink layer include matting property and transparency. The matting property is important for realizing a sufficient matte tone. Transparency is important for clearly visualizing the pattern of the ink layer.
[0004] On the one hand, in recent years, as a new environmentally friendly polyurethane resin following biomass polyurethane resin, a polyurethane resin using carbon dioxide directly has been reported. Specifically, a polyhydroxy polyurethane resin obtained by an addition reaction of a cyclic carbonate compound obtained by reacting an epoxy compound with carbon dioxide and an amine compound has been reported. This polyhydroxy polyurethane resin has a chemical structure with a hydroxyl group in its side chain, which is different from ordinary polyurethane resins due to the nature of its synthesis. Therefore, it has excellent adhesion to various plastic substrates and its use as a binder resin in printing inks is being studied.
[0005] Patent Document 1 discloses a printing ink containing a binder resin containing a polyhydroxy polyurethane resin, a crosslinking agent, and a colorant. Patent Document 2 discloses a printing ink composition containing a polyhydroxy polyurethane resin, a vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer, and a colorant.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0007] In a laminate having a structure of "mat ink layer / plastic film / ink layer", using a polyhydroxy polyurethane resin as the binder resin for both the ink layer and the mat ink layer is more CO 2It is very effective in improving the reduction effect. In addition, since the polyhydroxy polyurethane resin has excellent adhesion to a plastic film that has not been subjected to corona discharge treatment, it is also possible to use a plastic film that has not been subjected to corona discharge treatment on both sides, which is very useful from the viewpoints of workability and cost.
[0008] However, when the same binder resin is used for the ink layer and the matte ink layer in the laminate having the above configuration, the blocking resistance is significantly reduced. This is because when the printed laminate is wound up, the ink layer and the matte ink layer come into contact with each other, and if the same binder resin is used at that time, the compatibility is very good. The printing inks proposed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 are not assumed to have a configuration in which a matte ink layer is laminated, and effective means for solving the problems in this configuration have not yet been found.
[0009] As a method for improving the blocking resistance, a method of containing silica is widely known. However, it is known that when silica is contained in the ink layer, the surface unevenness occurs and the lamination strength is significantly reduced. In addition, it is known that when silica is additionally contained in the matte ink layer, the transparency is reduced and the sharpness of the pattern of the ink layer is greatly impaired. Therefore, when a polyhydroxy polyurethane resin is used for the binder resins of both the ink layer and the matte ink layer, effective means for improving the blocking resistance, the lamination strength, and the sharpness are required.
[0010] The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and the problem to be solved is to provide a laminate having excellent interlayer adhesion, excellent lamination strength when formed into a laminated laminate, and also excellent sharpness and blocking resistance, as well as a laminated laminate and a packaging material using this laminate.

[0123] [Evaluation of Lamination Strength] Two 5 cm × 5 cm test pieces were cut out from the laminate before aging. The ink layer of one test piece and the matte ink layer of the other test piece were overlapped, and a load of 1 kg / cm 2 was applied and stored in a constant temperature machine at 40°C for 48 hours. Next, the overlapped test pieces were peeled off, and a dry laminating adhesive (manufactured by Dainichi Seika Kogyo Co., Ltd., trade name "Seikabond E263 / C-75N") was applied onto the surface of the ink layer side (the overlapped side) of one test piece at a dry coating amount of 3 g / m 2 using a gravure printing machine (manufactured by Matsuo Sangyo Co., Ltd., trade name "K Printing Proofer"), dried with a dryer for 10 seconds, and heat-pressed with an LLDPE film (manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals Toagosei Co., Ltd., trade name "TUX-HC", thickness 60 μm). Then, aging was carried out at 40°C for 48 hours to obtain a laminated laminate. The obtained laminated laminate was cut into strips with a width of 15 mm, and a T-peel strength was measured by performing a T-peel test using a tensile testing machine (manufactured by A&D Company, Ltd., trade name "Tensilon RTG-1225") under the condition of a tensile speed of 300 mm / min, and the lamination strength was evaluated according to the criteria shown below. A pass is considered to be 3 to 5. 5: The T-peel strength is 2.0 N or more. 4: The T-peel strength is 1.5 N or more and less than 2.0 N. 3: The T-peel strength is 1.0 N or more and less than 1.5 N. 2: The T-peel strength is 0.5 N or more and less than 1.0 N. 1: The T-peel strength is less than 0.5 N.
[0124] [Measurement of 60° gloss value] The obtained laminate was placed on the black surface of the concealer test paper (manufactured by TP Giken Co., Ltd.) so that the matte ink layer was on the upper side (measurement side), and the 60° gloss value was measured using a gloss meter (manufactured by BYK Gardner, product name "micro-TRI-gloss"). The lower the 60° gloss value, the better the matte effect.
[0125] [Evaluation of clarity] After aging, the laminate was placed on the black surface of the concealer test paper (manufactured by TP Giken Co., Ltd.) so that the matte ink layer was on the upper side (measurement side), and the L * value was measured using a colorimeter (manufactured by x-rite, product name "exact"). L * A value of 30 or less is considered qualified. The lower the L * value, the less whitish the matte ink layer and the better its transparency, and the more clearly the color tone of the ink layer can be visually recognized from the matte ink layer side.
