Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a film, a packaging bag made from the film, a laminate including the film, and a packaging bag made from the laminate.

[0002] Conventionally, resin films made of resin materials have been used as materials for forming packaging bags. For example, resin films made of polyolefins have appropriate flexibility and transparency, as well as excellent heat-sealing properties, and are therefore widely used for packaging bags.

[0003] Typically, resin films made from polyolefins are inferior in strength and heat resistance and therefore cannot be used as a base material for constructing packaging bags, etc., and are instead used by laminating them with resin films made from polyester, polyamide, etc. For this reason, ordinary packaging bags are constructed from a laminate in which the base material and sealant layer are made from different types of resin materials (for example, Patent Document 1).

[0004] In recent years, with the growing demand for the creation of a recycling-oriented society, there has been a demand for high recyclability in packaging bags, etc. However, as mentioned above, conventional packaging bags are made up of different resin materials, and because it is difficult to separate the resin materials, they are not currently recycled.

[0005] In addition, such packaging bags are filled with various contents, but depending on the contents, such as detergent, the color of the contents can be seen through the packaging bag, which can cause the image formed on the surface of the substrate to become unclear. To solve this problem, a background layer is formed between the substrate and the sealant layer using an ink containing a white pigment to conceal the contents. However, when a background layer is formed, new problems arise, such as a decrease in the lamination strength between the substrate and the heat seal, and a decrease in the hand tearability of the packaging bag.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-202519 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] The present inventors have discovered that by subjecting a polyethylene film or a polypropylene film to at least one of a stretching treatment and an electron beam irradiation treatment, the strength and heat resistance of the film can be significantly improved, making it possible to use the film as a base material for laminates used in the production of packaging bags and the like. The inventors have also found that by forming the sealant layer from a polyolefin, like the substrate, the recyclability of the laminate can be significantly improved.

[0008] The present inventors have also found that by irradiating one side of a polyethylene film or a polypropylene film with an electron beam, the polyethylene or polypropylene in the vicinity of the irradiated film surface can be cured or crosslinked, resulting in a film having different physical properties on the front and back sides. Furthermore, they have discovered that if such a film having different physical properties on the front and back sides is used, a packaging bag can be produced using only this film.

[0009] Furthermore, the inventors have discovered that by incorporating a white pigment into a polyethylene film or a polypropylene film, the contents can be effectively concealed without reducing the laminate strength between layers or the ease with which the packaging bag can be torn by hand.

[0010] The present invention has been made in light of the above findings, and the problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a film that has sufficient strength and heat resistance, and that enables the production of packaging bags and the like that are also excellent in recyclability and content concealment.

[0011] Another problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a packaging bag made from the film, a laminate including the film, and a packaging bag made from this laminate. [Means for solving the problem]

[0012] The film of the present invention is characterized by being made of polyethylene or polypropylene, containing a white pigment, and having been subjected to at least one of a stretching treatment and an electron beam irradiation treatment.

[0013] In one embodiment, the content of the white pigment in the film of the present invention is 2% by mass or more and 20% by mass or less.

[0014] The packaging bag of the present invention is made of the above-mentioned film, and is characterized in that the film is subjected to electron beam irradiation treatment on only one side thereof and is arranged so that the side not irradiated with electron beams faces inward.

[0015] The laminate of the present invention comprises the above-mentioned film and a sealant layer, wherein the sealant layer is made of the same material as the film, and the same material is polyethylene or polypropylene.

[0016] The packaging bag of the present invention is characterized by being formed from the above-mentioned laminate. [Effects of the Invention]

[0017] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a film that has sufficient strength and heat resistance, and that enables the production of packaging bags and the like that are also excellent in recyclability and content concealment. Furthermore, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a packaging bag made from the film, a laminate including the film, and a packaging bag made from this laminate.

[0019] (film) The film of the present invention is characterized by being made of polyethylene or polypropylene, containing a white pigment, and having been subjected to at least one of a stretching treatment and an electron beam irradiation treatment. By subjecting the material to at least one of the stretching treatment and the electron beam irradiation treatment, its heat resistance and strength can be significantly improved, making it suitable as a material for constituting packaging bags, etc. can be used for.

[0020] As the polyethylene, high density polyethylene, medium density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene and very low density polyethylene can be used.

[0021] In the present invention, the high density polyethylene has a density of 0.945 g / cm 3 The polyethylene having a density of 0.925 g / cm or more can be used. 3 More than 0.945g / cm 3 Low density polyethylene can be used, and low density polyethylene is polyethylene with a density of 0.900 g / cm 3 More than 0.925g / cm 3Polyethylenes with a density of less than 0.900 g / cm can be used, and linear low-density polyethylenes with a density of less than 0.900 g / cm can be used. 3 More than 0.925g / cm 3 For ultra-low density polyethylene, polyethylene with a density of less than 0.900 g / cm3 can be used.

[0022] Furthermore, as long as the properties of the present invention are not impaired, copolymers of ethylene and other monomers can also be used as polyethylene. Examples of ethylene copolymers include copolymers of ethylene and an α-olefin having 3 to 20 carbon atoms. Examples of α-olefins having 3 to 20 carbon atoms include propylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-octene, 1-decene, 1-dodecene, 1-tetradecene, 1-hexadecene, 1-octadecene, 1-eicosene, 3-methyl-1-butene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, and 6-methyl-1-heptene. Furthermore, as long as the properties of the present invention are not impaired, copolymers with vinyl acetate or acrylic esters, etc., may also be used.

[0023] Furthermore, the film of the present invention preferably contains biomass-derived polyethylene. Biomass-derived polyethylene is a material that uses biomass-derived ethylene as a raw material instead of ethylene obtained from fossil fuels. Such biomass-derived polyethylene is a carbon-neutral material, and therefore can reduce the environmental impact of film production. Such biomass-derived polyethylene can be produced, for example, by a method such as that described in JP 2013-177531 A. Alternatively, commercially available biomass-derived polyethylene (e.g., Green PE commercially available from Braskem) may be used.

[0024] It is also possible to use polyethylene recycled through mechanical recycling, which generally involves crushing collected polyethylene film and washing it with an alkali to remove dirt and foreign matter from the film surface, and then drying it at high temperature and reduced pressure for a certain period of time to diffuse any contaminants remaining inside the film, thereby decontaminating it and removing the dirt from the polyethylene film and returning it to polyethylene.

[0025] The polypropylene may be a homopolymer, a random copolymer, or a block copolymer. A polypropylene homopolymer is a polymer of only propylene, a polypropylene random copolymer is a random copolymer of propylene and an α-olefin other than propylene (e.g., ethylene, butene-1, 4-methyl-1-pentene, etc.), and a polypropylene block copolymer is a copolymer having a polymer block made of propylene and a polymer block made of the above-mentioned α-olefin other than propylene.

[0026] It is also possible to use biomass-derived polypropylene or polypropylene recycled by mechanical recycling.

[0027] The film of the present invention contains a white pigment. This can improve the visibility of an image formed on the film. It can also conceal the contents filled in a packaging bag produced using the film of the present invention. It can also improve the light-blocking properties of the film. Furthermore, a film having such a configuration does not require a background layer to be formed using ink containing a white pigment, which is preferable because it does not reduce the lamination strength between layers when used in a laminate or the ease of tearing the film by hand.

[0028] Examples of white pigments include titanium white (titanium(IV) oxide), zinc oxide (zinc oxide), lithopone, calcium carbonate, barium sulfate, and aluminum hydroxide. Among these, titanium oxide is preferred because it has no specific absorption in the visible region and a high refractive index. The substrate may contain two or more of these white pigments.

[0029] The content of the white pigment in the film is preferably 2% by mass or more and 20% by mass or less, and more preferably 4% by mass or more and 15% by mass or less. By making the content of the white pigment in the film 4% by mass or more, it is possible to further improve the visibility of an image formed on the film, to further improve the light-blocking properties of the film, and to further conceal the contents filled in a packaging bag produced using the film of the present invention. Furthermore, by keeping the white pigment content in the film at 20% by mass or less, it is possible to produce a film with a stable film thickness during film production, maintain processing suitability comparable to that of transparent films during printing and lamination, maintain the physical properties of the product after processing, and prevent unnecessary increases in film prices.

[0030] The film may contain additives within the range that does not impair the properties of the present invention, such as crosslinking agents, antioxidants, antiblocking agents, slip agents, ultraviolet absorbers, light stabilizers, fillers, reinforcing agents, antistatic agents, pigments, and modifying resins.

[0031] In one embodiment, the film has a multilayer structure. In the film having a multilayer structure, the white pigment may be contained in at least one layer. In this case, from the viewpoint of suitability for printing on the film, the white pigment is preferably contained in an intermediate layer.

[0032] In one embodiment, the film has a multilayer structure including a layer made of high-density polyethylene (hereinafter referred to as high-density polyethylene layer), a layer made of medium-density polyethylene (hereinafter referred to as medium-density polyethylene layer), and a layer made of high-density polyethylene (hereinafter referred to as high-density polyethylene layer). By using such a structure, the strength and heat resistance of the film can be further improved, the occurrence of curling in the film can be prevented, and the stretchability of the film can be improved. In this case, the thickness of the high density polyethylene layer is preferably thinner than the thickness of the medium density polyethylene layer. The ratio of the thickness of the high-density polyethylene layer to the thickness of the medium-density polyethylene layer is preferably 1 / 10 or more and 1 / 1 or less, and more preferably 1 / 5 or more and 1 / 2 or less. By setting the ratio of the thickness of the high-density polyethylene layer to the thickness of the medium-density polyethylene layer to 1 / 10 or more, the strength and heat resistance of the film can be further improved, and by setting the ratio of the thickness of the high-density polyethylene layer to the thickness of the medium-density polyethylene layer to 1 / 1 or less, the stretchability of the film can be further improved.

[0033] In one embodiment, the film comprises a high-density polyethylene layer, a medium-density polyethylene layer, a low-density polyethylene layer, a linear low-density polyethylene layer, or an ultra-low-density polyethylene layer (collectively referred to as a low-density polyethylene layer in this paragraph for the sake of simplicity), a medium-density polyethylene layer, and a high-density polyethylene layer. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to improve the stretchability of the film, improve the strength and heat resistance of the film, prevent the occurrence of curling in the substrate, and improve the production efficiency of the film. In this case, the thickness of the high density polyethylene layer is preferably thinner than the thickness of the medium density polyethylene layer. The ratio of the thickness of the high-density polyethylene layer to the thickness of the medium-density polyethylene layer is preferably 1 / 10 or more and 1 / 1 or less, and more preferably 1 / 5 or more and 1 / 2 or less. By setting the ratio of the thickness of the high-density polyethylene layer to the thickness of the medium-density polyethylene layer to 1 / 10 or more, the strength and heat resistance of the film can be improved, and by setting the ratio of the thickness of the high-density polyethylene layer to the thickness of the medium-density polyethylene layer to 1 / 1 or less, the stretchability of the film can be improved. The thickness of the high-density polyethylene layer is preferably the same as or greater than the thickness of the low-density polyethylene layer. The ratio of the thickness of the high-density polyethylene layer to the thickness of the low-density polyethylene layer is preferably 1 / 0.25 or more and 1 / 2 or less, and more preferably 1 / 0.5 or more and 1 / 1 or less. By setting the ratio of the thickness of the high-density polyethylene layer to the thickness of the low-density polyethylene layer to 1 / 0.25 or more, the heat resistance of the film can be improved, and by setting the ratio of the thickness of the high-density polyethylene layer to the thickness of the low-density polyethylene layer to 1 / 1 or less, the adhesion between the medium-density polyethylene layers can be improved. The thickness of each high-density polyethylene layer is preferably 1 μm or more and 20 μm or less, and more preferably 2 μm or more and 10 μm or less. By making the thickness of the high-density polyethylene layer 1 μm or more, the strength and heat resistance of the film of the present invention can be further improved. Furthermore, by making the thickness of the high-density polyethylene layer 20 μm or less, the processability of the film of the present invention can be further improved. The thickness of the medium-density polyethylene layer is preferably 1 μm or more and 30 μm or less, and more preferably 5 μm or more and 20 μm or less. By making the thickness of the medium-density polyethylene layer 1 μm or more, the stretchability of the film can be further improved. Furthermore, by making the thickness of the medium-density polyethylene layer 30 μm or less, the processability of the film of the present invention can be further improved. The thickness of the low-density polyethylene layer is preferably 1 μm or more and 10 μm or less, and more preferably 2 μm or more and 5 μm or less. By making the thickness of the low-density polyethylene layer 1 μm or more, the adhesion between the high-density polyethylene layer and the medium-density polyethylene layer can be further improved. Furthermore, by making the thickness of the low-density polyethylene layer 5 μm or less, the processability of the film of the present invention can be further improved. In one embodiment, a film of this configuration can be produced, for example, by an inflation method. Specifically, the film can be produced by co-extruding a high-density polyethylene layer, a medium-density polyethylene layer, and a low-density polyethylene layer, a linear low-density polyethylene layer, or an ultra-low-density polyethylene layer from the outside into a tubular shape, and then pressing the opposing low-density polyethylene layers, linear low-density polyethylene layers, or ultra-low-density polyethylene layers together using a rubber roll or the like. By using such a method, the number of defective products in the manufacturing process can be significantly reduced, and ultimately production efficiency can be improved. Furthermore, stretching can also be carried out in the inflation film-forming machine, which can further improve production efficiency.

[0034] In one embodiment, the film may be configured as a seven-layer co-extruded film consisting of, from the outside, a high-density polyethylene layer, a blend resin layer of high-density polyethylene and medium-density polyethylene, a medium-density polyethylene layer, a low-density polyethylene layer, a linear low-density polyethylene layer or an ultra-low-density polyethylene layer (in this paragraph, for simplicity, these are collectively referred to as low-density polyethylene layers), a medium-density polyethylene layer, a blend resin layer of high-density polyethylene and medium-density polyethylene, and a high-density polyethylene layer. By adopting such a structure, it is possible to improve the adhesion between the high-density polyethylene layer and the medium-density polyethylene layer, and also to improve the processability of the film of the present invention. The thickness of each high-density polyethylene layer is preferably 1 μm or more and 20 μm or less, and more preferably 2 μm or more and 10 μm or less. By making the thickness of the high-density polyethylene layer 1 μm or more, the strength and heat resistance of the film of the present invention can be further improved. Furthermore, by making the thickness of the high-density polyethylene layer 20 μm or less, the processability of the film of the present invention can be further improved. The thickness of each blend resin layer of high-density polyethylene and medium-density polyethylene is preferably 1 μm or more and 20 μm or less, and more preferably 2 μm or more and 10 μm or less. This improves adhesion between the high-density polyethylene layer and the medium-density polyethylene layer. It also improves the processability of the film of the present invention. The thickness of the medium-density polyethylene layer is preferably 1 μm or more and 30 μm or less, and more preferably 5 μm or more and 20 μm or less. By making the thickness of the medium-density polyethylene layer 1 μm or more, the stretchability of the film can be further improved. Furthermore, by making the thickness of the medium-density polyethylene layer 30 μm or less, the processability of the film of the present invention can be further improved. The thickness of the low-density polyethylene layer is preferably 1 μm or more and 10 μm or less, and more preferably 2 μm or more and 5 μm or less. By making the thickness of the low-density polyethylene layer 1 μm or more, the adhesion between the high-density polyethylene layer and the medium-density polyethylene layer can be further improved, and by making the thickness of the low-density polyethylene layer 5 μm or less, the processability of the film of the present invention can be further improved. In one embodiment, the stretched polyethylene film having such a configuration can be produced by the inflation method described above. By using such a method, the number of defective products in the manufacturing process can be significantly reduced, and ultimately production efficiency can be improved. Furthermore, stretching can also be carried out in the inflation film-forming machine, which can further improve production efficiency.

[0035] When the film is stretched, the stretching may be uniaxial or biaxial. The stretching ratio in the machine direction (MD) of the film is preferably 2 times or more and 10 times or less, and more preferably 3 times or more and 7 times or less. By stretching the film in the machine direction (MD) at a ratio of 2 or more, the strength and heat resistance of the film can be improved. Furthermore, the printability of the film can be improved. On the other hand, the upper limit of the stretching ratio in the machine direction (MD) of the film is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of the breaking limit of the film, it is preferably 10 times or less. The stretching ratio in the transverse direction (TD) of the film is preferably 2 times or more and 10 times or less, and more preferably 3 times or more and 7 times or less. By stretching the film in the transverse direction (TD) at a ratio of 2 or more, the strength and heat resistance of the film can be improved. Furthermore, the printability of the film can be improved. On the other hand, the upper limit of the stretching ratio in the transverse direction (TD) of the film is not particularly limited, but it is preferably 10 times or less from the viewpoint of the film's breaking limit.

[0036] When the film is irradiated with electron beams, the crosslink density of the polyethylene or polypropylene contained in the film is increased by the electron beam irradiation, and the heat resistance and strength of the film can be significantly improved. This embodiment is particularly suitable when the film is made of polyethylene.

[0037] When the film is subjected to electron beam irradiation treatment, the film 10 may have the polyethylene on only one side thereof cross-linked to an increased cross-link density by electron beam irradiation, as shown in FIG. 1, or may have the polyolefin cross-linked to an increased cross-link density throughout the film, as shown in FIG. 2. By crosslinking only the polyethylene on one side by electron beam irradiation, the strength and heat resistance of that side can be improved, while the heat sealability of the other side is maintained, so that packaging bags can be produced using only the film of the present invention.

[0038] When the film has a multi-layer structure, it is sufficient that the crosslink density of the polyethylene in the outermost layer is improved by electron beam irradiation. From the viewpoint of strength and heat resistance, it is preferable that the crosslink density of the polyethylene as a whole is improved by electron beam irradiation.

[0039] The reason why the crosslink density of polyethylene differs depending on whether or not it is irradiated with an electron beam is unclear, but it is thought to be as follows: When polyethylene is irradiated with an electron beam, the molecular chains of carbon-hydrogen bonds in the polyethylene near the film surface are broken, and radicals are generated at the ends of the broken molecular chains. The generated radicals come into contact with other polyethylene molecular chains due to the molecular motion of the molecular chains, abstract hydrogen atoms, and bond to carbon atoms in the polyethylene molecular chains, resulting in the formation of a crosslinked structure.

[0040] Polyethylene films usually tend to shrink when heated, but as the crosslink density increases, their dimensional stability tends to improve. Therefore, if the crosslink density on the front and back of a polyethylene film is different, it will curl like a bimetal when heated. Therefore, a simple way to confirm that the crosslink density on the front and back of a polyethylene film is different is to heat the resulting polyethylene film.

[0041] The device that can be used to irradiate the film with an electron beam can be a conventionally known device, such as a curtain-type electron beam irradiation device (LB1023, manufactured by I-Electron Beam Co., Ltd.), a line-type low-energy electron beam irradiation device (EB-ENGINE, manufactured by Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.), and a drum-roll type electron beam irradiation device (EZ-CURE, manufactured by I-Electron Beam Co., Ltd.).

[0042] The dose of electron beams irradiated onto the film is preferably in the range of 10 kGy to 2000 kGy, more preferably in the range of 20 kGy to 1000 kGy, and even more preferably in the range of 150 kGy to 500 kGy. The acceleration voltage of the electron beam is preferably in the range of 30 kV to 300 kV, more preferably in the range of 50 kV to 300 kV, and even more preferably in the range of 50 kV to 250 kV. Furthermore, the irradiation energy of the electron beam is preferably in the range of 20 keV or more and 750 keV or less, more preferably in the range of 25 keV or more and 500 keV or less, even more preferably in the range of 30 keV or more and 400 keV or less, and particularly preferably in the range of 20 keV or more and 200 keV or less.

[0043] The oxygen concentration in the electron beam irradiation apparatus is preferably 500 ppm or less, more preferably 100 ppm or less. By performing electron beam irradiation under such conditions, it is possible to suppress the generation of ozone and also to prevent the radicals generated by electron beam irradiation from being deactivated by oxygen in the atmosphere. Such conditions can be achieved, for example, by creating an inert gas (nitrogen, argon, etc.) atmosphere inside the apparatus.

[0044] In one embodiment, the electron beam irradiation can be performed simultaneously with cooling using a cooling drum or the like.

[0045] The film may also be subjected to a surface treatment, which can improve adhesion to adjacent layers. The surface treatment method is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include physical treatments such as corona discharge treatment, ozone treatment, low-temperature plasma treatment using oxygen gas and / or nitrogen gas, and glow discharge treatment, as well as chemical treatments such as oxidation treatment using chemicals. Alternatively, an anchor coating layer may be formed on the film surface using a conventionally known anchor coating agent.

[0046] The film may have a printed layer on its surface, and the image formed on the printed layer is not particularly limited, and may be a letter, a pattern, a symbol, or a combination thereof. From the viewpoint of environmental impact, it is preferable that the printing layer on the film is formed using ink derived from biomass. The method for forming the printed layer is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include conventionally known printing methods such as gravure printing, offset printing, flexographic printing, etc. Among these, flexographic printing is preferred from the viewpoint of environmental load.

[0047] The thickness of the film is preferably 10 μm or more and 50 μm or less, and more preferably 15 μm or more and 30 μm or less. By making the film thickness 10 μm or more, the strength and heat resistance of the film can be further improved. Furthermore, when an image is formed on the film, the visibility of the image can be further improved. Furthermore, the contents filled in the packaging bag produced using the film of the present invention can be more concealed. Furthermore, the light-blocking properties of the film can be further improved. Furthermore, by making the film thickness 50 μm or less, the processability can be improved.

[0048] In one embodiment, the film may have a vapor-deposited film on its surface, which can improve the gas barrier properties, specifically the oxygen barrier properties and water vapor barrier properties.

[0049] Examples of the vapor-deposited film include vapor-deposited films composed of metals such as aluminum, and inorganic oxides such as aluminum oxide, silicon oxide, magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, zirconium oxide, titanium oxide, boron oxide, hafnium oxide, and barium oxide.

[0050] The thickness of the vapor-deposited film is preferably 1 nm or more and 150 nm or less, more preferably 5 nm or more and 60 nm or less, and even more preferably 10 nm or more and 40 nm or less. By making the thickness of the vapor-deposited film 1 nm or more, the oxygen barrier property and water vapor barrier property of the film can be further improved. Also, by making the thickness of the vapor-deposited film 150 nm or less, the occurrence of cracks in the vapor-deposited film can be prevented. Furthermore, the recyclability of the film when it is made into a laminate, as described below, can be maintained.

[0051] In one embodiment, the film has a barrier coating layer on the surface, which can improve the oxygen barrier property and water vapor barrier property. When the film has a vapor-deposited film, the barrier coat layer may be provided on or under the vapor-deposited film.

[0052] In one embodiment, the barrier coat layer contains a gas barrier resin such as ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH), polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylonitrile, polyamides such as nylon 6, nylon 6,6, and polymetaxylylene adipamide (MXD6), polyester, polyurethane, and (meth)acrylic resin. Among these, polyvinyl alcohol is preferred from the viewpoint of oxygen barrier property and water vapor barrier property. Furthermore, when the vapor-deposited film is made of an inorganic oxide, the occurrence of cracks in the vapor-deposited film can be effectively prevented by including polyvinyl alcohol in the barrier coat layer.

[0053] The content of the gas barrier resin in the barrier coat layer is preferably 50% by mass or more and 95% by mass or less, and more preferably 75% by mass or more and 90% by mass or less. By making the content of the gas barrier resin in the barrier coat layer 50% by mass or more, the oxygen barrier property and water vapor barrier property of the film can be further improved.

[0054] The barrier coat layer may contain the above-mentioned additives to the extent that the properties of the present invention are not impaired.

[0055] The thickness of the barrier coat layer is preferably 0.01 μm or more and 10 μm or less, and more preferably 0.1 μm or more and 5 μm or less. By making the thickness of the barrier coat layer 0.01 μm or more, the oxygen barrier property and water vapor barrier property can be further improved, and by making the thickness of the barrier coat layer 10 μm or less, the recyclability when made into a laminate described later can be maintained.

[0056] The barrier coat layer can be formed by dissolving or dispersing the above-mentioned material in water or an appropriate solvent, applying the solution, and drying. Alternatively, the barrier coat layer can be formed by applying a commercially available barrier coating agent and drying it.

[0057] In another embodiment, the barrier coat layer is a gas barrier coating film containing at least one resin composition such as a hydrolyzate of a metal alkoxide or a hydrolyzed condensate of a metal alkoxide obtained by polycondensing a mixture of a metal alkoxide and a water-soluble polymer by a sol-gel method in the presence of a sol-gel catalyst, water, an organic solvent, etc. When the film has a vapor-deposited film made of an inorganic oxide, by providing a barrier coat layer of this type adjacent to the vapor-deposited film, it is possible to effectively prevent cracks from occurring in the vapor-deposited film.

[0058] In one embodiment, the metal alkoxide is represented by the following general formula: R1nM(OR2)m (In the formula, R1 and R2 each represent an organic group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, M represents a metal atom, n represents an integer of 0 or more, m represents an integer of 1 or more, and n+m represents the valence of M.)

[0059] As the metal atom M, for example, silicon, zirconium, titanium, aluminum, etc. can be used. Examples of the organic groups represented by R1 and R2 include alkyl groups such as a methyl group, an ethyl group, an n-propyl group, an i-propyl group, an n-butyl group, and an i-butyl group.

[0060] Examples of metal alkoxides that satisfy the above general formula include tetramethoxysilane (Si(OCH3)4), tetraethoxysilane (mass %) Si(OC2H5)4), tetrapropoxysilane (Si(OC3H7)4), and tetrabutoxysilane (Si(OC4H9)4).

[0061] It is also preferable to use a silane coupling agent together with the metal alkoxide. As the silane coupling agent, known organoalkoxysilanes containing organic reactive groups can be used, but organoalkoxysilanes having epoxy groups are particularly preferred. Examples of organoalkoxysilanes having epoxy groups include γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, γ-glycidoxypropylmethyldiethoxysilane, and β-(3,4-epoxycyclohexyl)ethyltrimethoxysilane.

[0062] Two or more of the above silane coupling agents may be used, and the silane coupling agent is preferably used in an amount of about 1 to 20 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the alkoxides.

[0063] As the water-soluble polymer, polyvinyl alcohol and ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer are preferred, and from the viewpoints of oxygen barrier property, water vapor barrier property, water resistance and weather resistance, it is preferred to use these in combination.

[0064] The content of the water-soluble polymer in the gas barrier coating film is preferably 5 parts by mass or more and 500 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the metal alkoxide. By adjusting the content of the water-soluble polymer in the gas barrier coating film to 5 parts by mass or more per 100 parts by mass of the metal alkoxide, the oxygen barrier property and water vapor barrier property can be further improved. Also, by adjusting the content of the water-soluble polymer in the gas barrier coating film to 500 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the metal alkoxide, the film formability of the gas barrier coating film can be improved.

[0065] The thickness of the gas barrier coating film is preferably 0.01 μm or more and 100 μm or less, and more preferably 0.1 μm or more and 50 μm or less. By making the thickness of the gas barrier coating film 0.01 μm or more, it is possible to improve the oxygen barrier property and water vapor barrier property. Furthermore, when the gas barrier coating film is provided adjacent to a vapor-deposited film made of an inorganic oxide, it is possible to prevent cracks from occurring in the vapor-deposited film. Furthermore, by making the thickness of the gas barrier coating film 100 μm or less, it is possible to maintain the recyclability when the gas barrier coating film is made into a laminate described below.

[0066] The gas barrier coating film can be formed by applying a composition containing the above-mentioned materials by a conventionally known means such as roll coating using a gravure roll coater or the like, spray coating, spin coating, dipping, brush coating, bar coating, or applicator coating, and then polycondensing the composition by a sol-gel method. The sol-gel catalyst is preferably an acid or an amine compound. As the amine compound, a tertiary amine that is substantially insoluble in water and soluble in an organic solvent is preferred, such as N,N-dimethylbenzylamine, tripropylamine, tributylamine, tripentylamine, etc. Among these, N,N-dimethylbenzylamine is preferred. The sol-gel catalyst is preferably used in the range of 0.01 to 1.0 part by mass, more preferably 0.03 to 0.3 part by mass, per 100 parts by mass of the metal alkoxide. By using a sol-gel catalyst in an amount of 0.01 part by mass or more per 100 parts by mass of metal alkoxide, the catalytic effect can be improved, and by using a sol-gel catalyst in an amount of 1.0 part by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of metal alkoxide, the thickness of the gas barrier coating film formed can be made uniform.

[0067] The composition may further contain an acid, which is used as a catalyst in the sol-gel process, mainly for the hydrolysis of alkoxides, silane coupling agents, and the like. The acid may be a mineral acid such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, or nitric acid, or an organic acid such as acetic acid or tartaric acid. The amount of the acid used is preferably 0.001 mol or more and 0.05 mol or less based on the total molar amount of the alkoxide and the alkoxide portion (e.g., silicate portion) of the silane coupling agent. The catalytic effect can be improved by using an acid in an amount of 0.001 mole or more relative to the total molar amount of the alkoxide and the alkoxide portion (e.g., silicate portion) of the silane coupling agent. Also, the thickness of the gas barrier coating film formed can be made uniform by using an acid in an amount of 0.05 mole or less relative to the total molar amount of the alkoxide and the alkoxide portion (e.g., silicate portion) of the silane coupling agent.

[0068] The composition preferably contains water in an amount of 0.1 to 100 moles, more preferably 0.8 to 2 moles, per mole of the total molar amount of the alkoxides. By adjusting the water content to 0.1 moles or more per mole of the total alkoxide amount, the oxygen barrier property and water vapor barrier property can be improved, and by adjusting the water content to 100 moles or more per mole of the total alkoxide amount, the hydrolysis reaction can be carried out quickly.

[0069] The composition may also contain an organic solvent, such as methyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, n-propyl alcohol, isopropyl alcohol, or n-butanol.

[0070] An embodiment of the method for forming a gas barrier coating film will be described below. First, a composition is prepared by mixing a metal alkoxide, a water-soluble polymer, a sol-gel catalyst, water, an organic solvent, and optionally a silane coupling agent, etc. A polycondensation reaction gradually proceeds in the composition. The composition is then applied onto the film by the above-mentioned conventionally known method and dried, which further promotes the polycondensation reaction of the alkoxide and the water-soluble polymer (and the silane coupling agent, if the composition contains one) to form a composite polymer layer. Finally, the composition is heated at a temperature of 20 to 250°C, preferably 50 to 220°C, for 1 second to 10 minutes to form a gas barrier coating film.

[0071] The barrier coat layer may have a printed layer formed thereon, and the method for forming the printed layer is as described above.

[0072] The film can be produced by forming a resin composition containing at least polyethylene into a film using a T-die method, an inflation method, or the like, and then stretching and / or irradiating it with an electron beam. By forming the film by the inflation method, the stretching step can be carried out simultaneously. When both stretching and electron beam irradiation are carried out, either may be carried out first, but from the standpoint of suitability for stretching processing, it is preferable to carry out stretching first.

[0073] When a film is produced by the T-die method, the MFR of the resin composition is preferably 3 g / 10 min or more and 20 g / 10 min or less. By setting the MFR of the resin composition to 3 g / 10 min or more, the processability of the film can be improved, and by setting the MFR of the resin composition to 20 g / 10 min or less, the film can be prevented from breaking during stretching.

[0074] When the film is produced by an inflation method, the MFR of the resin composition is preferably 0.5 g / 10 min or more and 5 g / 10 min or less. By adjusting the MFR of the resin composition to 0.5 g / 10 min or more, the processability of the film can be improved, and by adjusting the MFR of the resin composition to 5 g / 10 min or less, the film formability can be improved.

[0075] The deposition film on the film can be formed by a conventionally known method, for example, physical vapor deposition methods (PVD methods) such as vacuum deposition, sputtering, and ion plating, and chemical vapor deposition methods (CVD methods) such as plasma chemical vapor deposition, thermal chemical vapor deposition, and photochemical vapor deposition.

[0076] Also, for example, a composite film consisting of two or more layers of vapor-deposited films of different inorganic oxides can be formed and used by combining physical vapor deposition and chemical vapor deposition. The degree of vacuum in the deposition chamber is 10 -2 ~10 -8 After oxygen is introduced, the pressure is preferably about 10 -1 ~10 -6 A pressure of about mbar is preferred. The amount of oxygen introduced varies depending on the size of the deposition machine. An inert gas such as argon gas, helium gas, or nitrogen gas may be used as a carrier gas for the oxygen introduced, provided that this does not cause any problems. The film transport speed can be about 10 to 800 m / min.

[0077] The surface of the deposited film is preferably subjected to the above-mentioned surface treatment, which can improve adhesion to adjacent layers.

[0082] In one embodiment, the packaging bag can be produced by folding the film of the present invention in half, overlapping the film, and heat-sealing the edges so that the surface not irradiated with electron beams faces inward. In another embodiment, the packaging bag can also be produced by overlapping two films with the surfaces not irradiated with electron beams facing each other, and heat-sealing the edges.

[0083] In one embodiment, the packaging bag can be produced by stacking two of the above films with the non-electron beam irradiated surfaces facing each other and heat-sealing two sides to form a body portion, and then folding another film into a V shape with the non-electron beam irradiated surface facing outward, sandwiching it from one end of the body portion, and heat-sealing it to form a bottom portion.

[0084] In one embodiment, the packaging bag can be produced by stacking two of the above films with the non-electron beam irradiated surfaces facing each other and heat-sealing one side to form the bottom, and then folding two more laminates into a V shape with the non-electron beam irradiated surfaces facing outwards, sandwiching the two facing films together at both ends, and heat-sealing to form the body.

[0087] (Laminate) As shown in FIG. 6, the laminate 50 of the present invention comprises the above-mentioned film 10 as a substrate and a sealant layer 51. When only one surface of the film 10 is subjected to electron beam irradiation treatment, the substrate is provided so that the electron beam irradiated surface of the film becomes the outermost surface of the laminate.

[Example]

[0162] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0163] Example 1 Linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE, density 0.937 g / cm 3 A resin composition containing the above-mentioned cellulose acetate copolymer and titanium oxide was formed into a polyethylene film having a thickness of 25 μm using an inflation extruder. The titanium oxide content was adjusted to 4% by mass. One side of this polyethylene film was irradiated with electron beams using an electron beam irradiation device (line irradiation type low energy electron beam irradiation device EES-L-DP01, manufactured by Hamamatsu Photonics K.K.) under the following conditions: (Irradiation conditions) Voltage: 70kV Irradiation dose: 280kGy Oxygen concentration inside the device: 100 ppm or less Line speed: 25m / min

[0164] An image was formed on the electron beam irradiated surface of this film using a gravure printing machine to obtain the film of the present invention.

[0165] Example 2 The resin composition containing the LLDPE and titanium oxide was extruded using an inflation extruder to produce a polyethylene film with a thickness of 125 μm, which was then uniaxially stretched longitudinally to obtain a film with a thickness of 25 μm. The titanium oxide content was adjusted to 4% by mass. An image was formed on one side of this film using a gravure printing machine to obtain the film of the present invention.

[0166] A two-component curing polyester adhesive of 3.5 g / m was applied to the image-forming surface of the film prepared as described above. 2 At the same time as the coating, the film was dry-laminated with an unstretched LLDPE film having a thickness of 80 μm to obtain a laminate of the present invention.

[0167] Comparative Example 1 A film was produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the electron beam irradiation treatment was not carried out.

[0168] Comparative Example 2 A laminate was produced in the same manner as in Example 2, except that the stretching treatment was not carried out.

[0169] Comparative Example 3 A laminate was produced in the same manner as in Example 2, except that titanium oxide was not used in the production of the film.

[0170] Comparative Example 4 A laminate was produced in the same manner as in Comparative Example 3, except that a 1 μm thick white ink layer was provided on the image-forming surface of the film to conceal the contents.

[0171] <<Content Concealment Test>> The films prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were cut into a size of 220 mm length x 130 mm width. Two of the films cut as described above were stacked together with the non-electron beam irradiated surfaces (either surface was acceptable for the film of Comparative Example 1) facing each other, and a film prepared in the above Examples and Comparative Examples was folded in a V shape from one end of the body so that the non-electron beam irradiated surface was on the outside and sandwiched between the two. Next, the two vertical sides and the side sandwiching the V-shaped laminate were heat-sealed at a heat-sealing temperature of 155°C. The film of Comparative Example 1 did not have sufficient heat resistance and could not be heat-sealed.

[0172] The laminates produced in Example 2 and Comparative Examples 2 to 4 were cut into a size of 220 mm length x 130 mm width. Two laminates cut as described above were stacked together with the sealant layers facing each other, and a laminate prepared in the above Examples and Comparative Examples was folded into a V shape at one end of the body so that the sealant layer was on the outside and sandwiched between the laminates. Next, the two vertical sides and the side sandwiching the V-shaped laminate were heat-sealed at a heat-sealing temperature of 155°C. The laminate of Comparative Example 2 could not be heat-sealed because the heat resistance of the film (substrate) was insufficient.

[0173] Next, a carbon dioxide laser (Keyence, 3Axis-CO2 laser marker ML-Z9520A, output 70%, printing speed 1000 mm / min) was used to form a cutout, and a dispensing nozzle and a curved portion as shown in Figure 4 were formed by punching, to produce a stand-up pouch-shaped packaging bag with an opening. This packaging bag was filled with 300 mL of blue liquid detergent, and the remaining side was heat-sealed to form a packaging bag.

[0174] The packaging bags prepared as described above were visually observed and evaluated based on the following evaluation criteria. The evaluation results are summarized in Table 1. (Evaluation criteria) A: The color of the contents was not detected, confirming high content concealment. NG: The color of the contents was visible and affected the color of the image formed on the substrate.

[0175] <<Laminate strength test>> The packaging bags made using the laminates made in Example 2 and Comparative Examples 2 to 4 were cut to a width of 15 mm in the machine direction of the film to obtain test pieces. The film (substrate) and sealant layer on this test side were peeled at the interface, and the peeling was stopped halfway. Both ends of the partially peeled test piece were pulled up and down at a test speed of 300 mm / min, and the stress at this time was measured to evaluate the laminate strength. The evaluation results are summarized in Table 1. (Evaluation criteria) A: The white ink layer did not undergo cohesive failure and peeled off with a constant strength. NG: Peeling due to cohesive failure of the white ink layer was observed.

[0176] <<Hand tearability test>> The packaging bags obtained in the content concealment test were opened by hand, and the ease of opening was evaluated based on the following evaluation criteria. The evaluation results are summarized in Table 1. (Evaluation criteria) A: I was able to open it with almost no force. NG: It was necessary to apply a strong force, which caused problems in practical use, such as stretching and tearing.

[0177] <<Drop Strength Test>> The packaging bags obtained in the content concealment test were dropped ten times from a height of 100 cm onto a hard floor with the body of the bag held horizontally to the ground. The test was carried out on 10 bags at a time, and the presence or absence of breakage was visually observed. The strength was evaluated based on the following evaluation criteria. The evaluation results are summarized in Table 1. (Evaluation criteria) A: No damage was found in any of the 10 bags. NG: Breakage was confirmed in one or more of the 10 bags, posing a practical problem.
