Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a packaging material and a method for manufacturing the same.
Background Art
[0002] From the viewpoints of environmental measures and effective use of resources, various studies have been conducted on the recycling of plastic products. In recent years, demands for material recycling have been particularly increasing towards the realization of a recycling-oriented society.
[0003] Among plastic products, packaging materials made of plastic films have a multilayer structure in order to meet different required performances for each application. On the other hand, since packaging materials having a plurality of types of materials are difficult to separate or classify into single materials and material cycling is difficult, in recent years, for example, the conversion of packaging materials into single materials as in Patent Document 1 has been studied.
[0004] In the case of laminate adhesives used for packaging materials, mainly solvent-based and solventless laminate methods can be mentioned. However, due to the strengthening of regulations and considerations for environmental protection or safety, the demand for switching to solventless types is increasing. Recently, not only the two-layer structure, which has been the main configuration of solventless laminates, but also the use of solventless adhesives for laminate configurations of three layers or more, which have conventionally been performed with solvent-based adhesives, has been studied. However, solventless adhesives are designed with a low molecular weight of the resin contained from the viewpoints of handleability, cleanability, or appearance performance and pot life, and tend to have a slower rise in cohesive force after lamination compared to solvent-based laminates.
[0005] Therefore, when applying a solvent-free adhesive, appearance defects are likely to occur due to bubbles entrapped during the application or carbon dioxide gas generated by the reaction of the polyisocyanate compound, which is a component of the adhesive, with moisture in the air. In addition, other problems such as delamination caused by bubbles or carbon dioxide gas, and telescoping (the roll becoming bamboo shoot-shaped during winding) caused by the laminated film slipping and shifting in the shear direction also occur. When a printing layer is present, these defects are more likely to occur due to the penetration of the adhesive into the printing layer and the unevenness on the surface of the printing layer.
[0006] For example, Patent Document 2 describes that by using a solvent-free adhesive with high tensile shear strength, the adhesive strength and processing appearance are improved, but there is no description regarding a method for improving the lamination appearance in a substrate having a printing layer.

[0023] The packaging material contains 80% by mass or more of a polyolefin resin in the total mass of the packaging material. The content is more preferably 85% or more, and still more preferably 90% by mass or more. By including the polyolefin resin in the above range, the packaging material has high simplicity in the separation process and recyclability, good moldability, and a molding material that can be used for various applications can be obtained. Also, from the perspective of recyclability, it is preferable that the base material, the sealant, and the intermediate base material used as required are made of the same material (monomaterial). Further, it is preferable that the base material, the sealant, and the intermediate base material used as required contain a polyolefin resin.

[0052] <Adhesive layer> The adhesive layer in the present invention is a cured product of a solventless adhesive. Hereinafter, the solventless adhesive may be simply referred to as "adhesive", which is synonymous. The solventless adhesive contains a polyol (A) and a polyisocyanate (B), and the shear stress under the following test conditions is preferably 1.5 N or more, more preferably 2.0 N or more, and still more preferably 2.5 N or more. Also, it is preferably 10.0 N or less, more preferably 7.5 N or less, and still more preferably 5.0 N or less. (Test conditions) On the corona-treated surface of a polyethylene terephthalate substrate 1 with a thickness of 25 μm and a wetting tension of 45 to 60 mN / m on the corona-treated surface, an adhesive layer with a coating amount of 1.9 to 2.1 g / m 2 is formed, and it is bonded to the corona-treated surface of a substrate 2 having the same thickness and wetting tension as the substrate 1 so that the bonding area is 25 mm × 25 mm to form a test piece. After holding the test piece at 20°C and 65% humidity for 1 hour, a tensile test of the substrate 1 and the substrate 2 of the test piece is performed in an 80°C environment, and the shear stress is measured. In the present invention, the measurement of the shear stress is performed 5 times, and the average value is used. As the shear stress measuring device, a general tensile tester can be used.
[0053] More specifically, the shear stress is the stress generated in a shear deformation in which a film arranged so as to sandwich an adhesive resin is slid in a plane-parallel direction, and is generated in the film traveling direction (plane-parallel direction) in the laminating process. More specifically, when any of the impression roll, coating roll, nip roll, and touch roll included in the laminating apparatus passes through the laminated packaging material, the above shear force causes displacement between the films, resulting in defects such as bubbles and delamination. When there are many voids such as delamination parts and bubble parts in the packaging material, the packaging material tends to contain moisture in the washing process of the packaging material for material recycling. When the moisture content in the packaging material becomes high, it causes foaming when producing recycled pellets, and there is a risk of unevenness occurring on the surface of the subsequent molded product. When the above shear stress is 1.5 N or more, the slippage and displacement between the base materials used for lamination are suppressed, and the form immediately after lamination can be maintained. When laminating using the above solvent-free adhesive, the mixing of bubbles and the occurrence of telescoping and the like can be suppressed.

The adhesive layer may be applied on the printing layer and laminated, or may be applied on the sealant and laminated.

Examples
[0096] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. In the present invention, parts and % represent parts by mass and mass % unless otherwise noted.
[0097] (Hydroxyl value) The hydroxyl value is the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide required to neutralize acetic acid bonded to the hydroxyl group when 1 g of the sample is acetylated, and was measured by the method described in JIS K0070.
[0098] (Acid value) The acid value is the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide required to neutralize the free fatty acids, resin acids, etc. contained in 1 g of the sample, and was measured by the method described in JIS K0070.
[0099] (Amine value) The amine value is the same as the number of milligrams of potassium hydroxide equivalent to the amount of hydrochloric acid required to neutralize the amino groups contained in 1 g of the sample, and was measured in accordance with JIS K0070. That is, the sample was accurately weighed at 0.5 - 2 g (sample solid content: S g). 50 mL of a mixed solution of methanol / methyl ethyl ketone = 60 / 40 (mass ratio) was added to the accurately weighed sample and dissolved. Bromophenol blue was added as an indicator to the resulting solution, and the resulting solution was titrated with a 0.2 mol / L ethanolic hydrochloric acid solution (titer: f). The point at which the color of the solution changed from green to yellow was taken as the end point, and using the titration volume (A mL) at this time, the amine value was determined by the following formula. (Formula) Amine value = (A × f × 0.2 × 56.108) / S [mg KOH / g] (Weight average molecular weight, number average molecular weight)
[0100] (Weight average molecular weight, number average molecular weight) The weight average molecular weight and number average molecular weight were determined as the converted molecular weights using polystyrene as a standard substance by measuring the molecular weight distribution using a gel permeation chromatography (GPC) apparatus (HLC - 8220 manufactured by Tosoh Corporation). The measurement conditions are shown below. Column: The following columns were connected in series and used. TSKgel SuperAW2500 manufactured by Tosoh Corporation TSKgel SuperAW3000 manufactured by Tosoh Corporation TSKgel SuperAW4000 manufactured by Tosoh Corporation TSKgel guard column SuperAWH manufactured by Tosoh Corporation Detector: RI (differential refractometer) Measurement conditions: Column temperature 40°C Eluent: Tetrahydrofuran Flow rate: 1.0 mL / min
[0101] (Glass transition temperature (Tg)) The glass transition temperature was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The measurement was carried out using a DSC8231 manufactured by Rigaku Corporation under the conditions of a measurement temperature range of -70 to 250 °C and a heating rate of 10 °C / min. The midpoint (inflection point) of the baseline shift based on the glass transition in the DSC curve was defined as the glass transition temperature.
[0102] (Chlorine content) The chlorine content was measured in accordance with JIS K0127 (2013). That is, on a transparent substrate, the ink or binder resin was each applied to a thickness of 2.0 μm to form a coating film. It was dried at 80 °C and 0.5 g was scraped off. The scraped coating film was pretreated by a combustion method, and the chlorine content of the obtained sample was quantified by ion chromatography to determine the chlorine content rate.
[0103] (Measurement method of NCO content rate) Approximately 1 g of the sample was weighed into a 200 mL Erlenmeyer flask, and 10 mL of a toluene solution of 0.5 N di-n-butylamine and 10 mL of toluene were added thereto to dissolve the sample. Next, phenolphthalein test solution was added as an indicator, and after holding for 30 seconds, it was titrated with a 0.25 N hydrochloric acid solution until the solution showed a light red color. The NCO content rate (mass %) was determined by the following (formula). (Formula): NCO (mass %) = {(b - a) × 4.202 × F × 0.25} / S S: Sampling amount of the sample (g) a: Consumption amount of 0.25 N hydrochloric acid solution (ml) b: Consumption amount of 0.25 N hydrochloric acid solution in the blank experiment (ml) F: Normality of 0.25 N hydrochloric acid solution
[0104] (ICI viscosity) The ICI viscosity was measured using "CV-1S" manufactured by Toa Industries, Ltd. in accordance with JIS K 5600-2-3. Specifically, one drop of the solvent-free adhesive immediately after compounding or 20 minutes after compounding was placed on the plate of the machine set at 40°C with a glass rod, the cone was lowered, and rotation was started, and the value (mPa·s) at the stable point was used.
[0105] (Shearing stress) The shearing stress of the solvent-free adhesive was measured as follows. <1>Polyol (A) and polyisocyanate (B) were compounded and applied at a coating amount of 2.0 g / m 2 onto a polyethylene terephthalate film with a thickness of 25 μm and a wetting tension of 45 to 60 mN / m. After application, the same polyethylene terephthalate film was laminated with a width of 25 mm and stored in an environment of 20°C and 65% RH for 1 hour. <2>After storage, a test piece with a bonded area of 25 mm × 25 mm was prepared, and the shearing stress was measured by a tensile test in an 80°C environment using the test piece. The tensile test was performed at a tensile speed of 30 cm / min. In addition, the above measurement was performed 5 times, and the average value was used.
[0106] (Arithmetic mean height Sa) The arithmetic mean height Sa value of the printed layer surface was measured using a white light interference type surface property measuring machine (for example, Talysurf CCIMP-HS manufactured by AMETEK). As a measurement sample, the film was cut into an arbitrary size of about 2 cm square, and in a state where wrinkles were fully stretched, it was set on the measurement stage using an electrostatic adhesion plate or the like. For measurement, a 5x objective lens was used to perform measurement per field of view (1024×1024 pixels / 3.17 mm×3.17 mm), and this operation was performed at 10 locations at 5 mm intervals in the flow direction from the central location in both the flow direction and the width direction of the surface of the printed layer of the target sample film. Next, for the obtained data, noise was removed by non-measurement point processing, followed by leveling processing by the least squares method and shape removal processing by a polynomial, and then the waviness component was removed by robust Gaussian filter (cutoff value 0.25 mm) processing. Thereby, the state of the surface of the printed layer is made into a state where it can be appropriately measured. Next, using the analysis software "Talymap", the Sa value (μm) was obtained by an analysis method conforming to ISO25178, and the average value of each value obtained at the above 10 locations was calculated.
