Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method for producing packaging material. [Background technology]

[0002] In many product fields, such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, packaging materials have been developed to suit the respective contents. In particular, as packaging materials for viscous contents such as liquids, semi-solids, and gel-like substances, plastic materials that are excellent in water resistance, oil resistance, gas barrier properties, light weight, flexibility, and designability are used, and they function to protect the contents as required of packaging materials.

[0003] One of the functions of packaging materials is to prevent the contents from adhering to the inner surface of the packaging material, i.e., to have high slippage resistance and residue prevention performance so that the contents can be quickly discharged without remaining inside the packaging material. Contents that cannot be used up and remain inside the package are discarded together with the package, but disposal of such contents is considered problematic from an environmental perspective. This problem is particularly serious when the contents filled into the packaging material contain water.

[0004] For example, Patent Document 1 (JP 2005-306415 A) proposes a packaging material that is characterized by the type of resin used and its shape in order to prevent aqueous contents such as toothpaste from remaining inside the packaging material. However, since the ability of the contents to separate from the packaging is greatly affected by the resin properties of the innermost layer that comes into contact with the contents, it is difficult to achieve a sufficient effect of preventing contents from remaining by simply changing the shape of the packaging material, as proposed in Patent Document 1. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-306415 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The present inventors have now discovered that by forming a sliding layer containing a specific material on the inner surface of a packaging material, the sliding properties and residue prevention performance of the packaging material can be significantly improved. Furthermore, the inventors have discovered a further problem that when a sliding layer is formed on a resin film (laminate) before the packaging material is formed, the heat sealing properties are reduced, making it difficult to produce the packaging material and reducing the strength of the packaging material produced.

[0009] In one embodiment, the sliding layer is formed by a spray coating method.

[0010] In one embodiment, the sliding layer comprises a surfactant, and the surfactant is a nonionic surfactant.

[0011] In one embodiment, the nonionic surfactant is at least one surfactant selected from alkyl ether surfactants, alkylamino ether surfactants, fatty acid ether ester surfactants, vegetable oil ether ester surfactants, sorbitan fatty acid ester surfactants, fatty acid amide surfactants, and glycerin fatty acid ester surfactants.

[0012] In one embodiment, the sliding layer comprises an oil-based material, which is at least one oil-based material selected from vegetable oils, animal oils, and lubricating oils.

[0013] In one embodiment, the thickness of the sliding layer is 0.1 μm or more and 10 μm or less.

[0014] In one embodiment, the laminate of the present invention comprises a gas barrier layer between the substrate and the heat seal layer. [Effects of the Invention]

[0046] <Process for forming the sliding layer> In the method for producing a packaging material of the present invention, the sliding layer is formed after the body and head are produced by applying at least one of a surfactant and an oil-based material having an HLB value of less than 16 to the inner surface of the body from the end opposite the end where the head is provided. By forming the sliding layer in this manner, the packaging material can be produced without causing a decrease in the heat sealability of the heat seal layer when the body is produced. During the coating step, it is preferable that no sliding layer is formed at the position where the bottom of the packaging material is to be formed.

[0047] The application of at least one of a surfactant and an oil-based material having an HLB value of less than 16 can be carried out using a conventionally known method, but from the viewpoint of productivity and stable formation of a sliding layer, it is preferably carried out by a spray coating method.

[0048] Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, the sliding layer can be formed by holding the packaging material 10 with a holding part 30 so that the head is downward and the opening is upward, inserting an airbrush 31 through the opening, and using this to apply a surfactant or oil-based material. As the airbrush, for example, an automatic one-handed gun WA-0609 manufactured by Anest Iwata or a spray gun for inner surface coating (capable of 360° coating) can be used.

[0049] The sliding layer contains at least one of a surfactant and an oil-based material having an HLB value of less than 16, and the content of these in the sliding layer is preferably 40% by mass or more, more preferably 50% by mass or more, and even more preferably 60% by mass or more.

[0050] From the viewpoint of slip-off performance and residue prevention performance, the HLB of the surfactant is preferably 14 or less, and more preferably 10 or less. The HLB of a surfactant can be calculated by the Griffin method (ie, HLB=20×sum of formula weights of hydrophilic moieties / molecular weight).

[0051] When the contents are food or toothpaste, the surfactant is preferably a nonionic surfactant from the viewpoint of safety. Examples of nonionic surfactants include alkyl ether surfactants, alkylamino ether surfactants, fatty acid ether ester surfactants, vegetable oil ether ester surfactants, sorbitan fatty acid ester surfactants, fatty acid amide surfactants, and glycerin fatty acid ester surfactants.

[0052] Examples of alkyl ether surfactants include polyoxyethylene lauryl ether, polyoxyethylene cetyl ether, polyoxyethylene stearyl ether, polyoxyethylene oleyl ether, polyoxyethylene myristyl ether, and polyoxyethylene octyldodecyl ether. Examples of alkylamino ether surfactants include (polyoxyethylene) lauryl amino ether lactate, stearyl amino ether lactate, di(polyoxyethylene) lauryl methyl amino ether dimethyl phosphate, di(polyoxyethylene) lauryl ethyl ammonium ethosulfate, and di(polyoxyethylene) lauryl methyl ammonium dimethyl phosphate. Examples of fatty acid ether ester surfactants include polyoxyethylene fatty acid ether esters. Examples of the vegetable oil ether ester surfactant include polyoxyethylene castor oil ether and polyoxyethylene hydrogenated castor oil ether. Examples of sorbitan fatty acid ester surfactants include polyoxyethylene sorbitan fatty acid esters. Examples of fatty acid amide surfactants include lauric acid diethanolamide, oleic acid diethanolamide, stearic acid diethanolamide, and comamide DEA. Examples of glycerin fatty acid ester surfactants include monoglycerin fatty acid esters, diglycerin fatty acid esters, and triglycerin fatty acid esters.

[0053] The sliding layer may contain an oil-based material, preferably a lubricating oil such as vegetable oil, animal oil, mineral oil, or synthetic oil. Examples of vegetable oils include rapeseed oil, tung oil, linseed oil, shortening, corn oil, soybean oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil, rice oil, camellia oil, coconut oil, palm oil, walnut oil, olive oil, almond oil, cocoa butter, shea butter, neem oil, safflower oil, Japan wax, candelilla wax, carnauba wax, castor oil, and salad oil. Examples of animal oils include lard, beef tallow, fish oil, horse oil, raniln, butter, squalane, and beeswax. Examples of mineral oils include silicone oil, naphtha, light oil, kerosene, heavy oil, paraffin, liquid paraffin, ceresin, and amber oil. Examples of synthetic oils include polybutene, alkylbenzene, alkylnaphthalene, and synthetic naphthalene oil.

[0054] The thickness of the sliding layer is preferably 0.1 μm or more and 10 μm or less, and more preferably 0.2 μm or more and 9 μm or less. By setting the thickness of the sliding layer within the above numerical range, the sliding performance and the performance of preventing residue can be further improved.

[0055] <Step of forming the bottom> The bottom of the packaging material can be formed by heat-sealing an opening at the end of the body opposite to the end where the head is provided, and then filling the contents through the opening and then heat-sealing the opening.

[0056] <Contents> The contents that are preferably filled into the packaging material of the present invention are water-based contents, such as toothpaste, ointment, whipped cream, bean paste, pickles, etc. The water content of the aqueous content is preferably 10% by mass or more and 80% by mass or less, and more preferably 15% by mass or more and 75% by mass or less. The moisture content of the contents can be measured using an infrared moisture meter (manufactured by Atex Co., Ltd., trade name: AD-4715). When the moisture content of the contents is within the above range, the packaging material according to the present invention can exhibit particularly good slip-off resistance and residue prevention performance.

[0057] The packaging material of the present invention can exhibit good slippage and residue prevention properties even for oil-based contents, as long as they are highly viscous and solid, such as bean paste, gochujang, chocolate paste, butter, margarine, cheese, mayonnaise, etc. [Example]

[0058] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0059] Example 1 LLDPE (manufactured by Prime Polymer Co., Ltd., product name: UZ-2021) was extruded by the inflation method (extrusion temperature: 180°C) to produce LLDPE films A and B with thicknesses of 80 μm, and LLDPE film C with a thickness of 100 μm.

[0060] A 12 μm thick PET film (Lumirror E5200, manufactured by Toray Advanced Film Co., Ltd.) was prepared. An anchor coating agent (product name: EL510 / CAT-RT80, manufactured by Toyo-Morton Co., Ltd., dilution solvent: ethyl acetate) was applied to both sides of this PET film to a thickness of 0.3 g / m2 after drying. 2 The coating was applied and dried to form an anchor coat layer.

[0061] On one side of the anchor coat layer formed as described above, LDPE (Nippon Polyethylene Co., Ltd., Novalec LC520) was melt-extruded to form a melt-extruded resin layer with a thickness of 25 μm, and LLDPE film A was laminated on top of this.

[0062] On the other side of the anchor coat layer formed as described above, LDPE (Nippon Polyethylene Co., Ltd., Novalec LC520) was melt-extruded to form a melt-extruded resin layer with a thickness of 25 μm, and LLDPE film C was laminated therebetween to obtain laminate A.

[0063] The above anchor coating agent was applied to one side of a 12 μm thick gas barrier film (VM-PET 1310, manufactured by Toray Advanced Film Co., Ltd.) to a thickness of 0.3 g / m2 after drying. 2 The coating was applied and dried so as to form an anchor coat layer, and LLDPE film B was laminated on the anchor coat layer to obtain laminate B.

[0064] The LLDPE film C of the laminate A and the gas barrier film of the laminate B were bonded together using a dry laminating adhesive (manufactured by Rock Paint Co., Ltd., Adlock RU004 / H1, coating amount 3.5 g / m 2 ) was interposed between the sheets to prepare a laminate of the present invention.

[0065] The laminate with a sheet width of 120 mm prepared as described above was overlapped with LLDPE film A and LLDPE film B at a width of 2 mm, and the laminate was heat-sealed at 250°C to obtain a body with a diameter of 38 mm and a height of 150 mm.

[0066] The cylindrical body portion produced as described above is attached to a mandrel for forming a tube container, In the mold, HDPE was compression molded at 230°C at one end of the body to form a shoulder and a mouth continuous with the body.

[0067] Next, using a one-handed automatic gun (WA-0609, manufactured by Anest Iwata), a coating liquid for forming a sliding layer, which was made by dissolving a surfactant (Poem OL-200V, manufactured by Riken Vitamin Co., Ltd., monodiglyceride (glycerin fatty acid ester surfactant), HLB = 3.2, gel-like) in ethanol to a concentration of 20% by mass, was applied to the inner surface from the other end of the body, and dried to form a sliding layer 5 μm thick, thereby obtaining a packaging material.

[0068] Example 2 A packaging material was produced in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the one-handed automatic gun was changed to a spray gun for inner surface application (manufactured by Anest Iwata, capable of 360° application).

[0069] Example 3 A packaging material was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that surfactant A was changed to an oil-based material (Acter LO-1 (lubricant), liquid, manufactured by Riken Vitamin Co., Ltd.) and the one-handed automatic gun was changed to a spray gun for inner surface application (manufactured by Anest Iwata, capable of 360° application).

[0070] Comparative Example 1 A packaging material was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that no sliding layer was formed.

[0071] Comparative Example 2 A laminate was produced in the same manner as in Example 1. Next, the coating liquid for forming the sliding layer used in Example 1 was applied to the surface of LLDPE film B included in the laminate, and dried to form a sliding layer having a thickness of 15 μm. The laminate with a sheet width of 120 mm prepared as described above was overlapped with LLDPE film A and LLDPE film B at a width of 2 mm, and an attempt was made to heat seal the laminate at 250°C, but heat sealing was not possible, and a body section could not be produced.

[0072] Comparative Example 3 A packaging material was prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except that surfactant A was changed to surfactant E (manufactured by Takemoto Oil & Fat Co., Ltd., Paionin D-1715N, polyoxyethylene decyl ether (alkyl ether type), HLB=16.1).

[0073] <<Slip-off performance and residual prevention performance test>> The laminates obtained in the Examples and Comparative Examples were evaluated for slippage resistance and content residue prevention performance by the following methods. First, a tubular packaging material with an opening on one side obtained in the examples and comparative examples was prepared, and 30 g of a paste-like aqueous content A (manufactured by Lion Corporation, trade name: Systema Haguki Plus, viscosity: 525 Pa·s @0.46 (1 / s)) was filled near the opening, and the material was left to stand for 5 minutes with the opening facing upward. After leaving the container to stand, the state of adhesion of the contents to the inner surface of the packaging material was visually observed and evaluated based on the following evaluation criteria. The evaluation results are summarized in Table 1. In addition, paste-like water-based content B (manufactured by Lion Corporation, trade name: Clinica, viscosity 497 Pa·s @0.46 (1 / s)), paste-like water-based content C (manufactured by Kewpie Corporation, trade name: Banana Whip), and highly viscous oil-based content (manufactured by S&B Corporation, Doubanjiang) were also evaluated in the same manner, and the results are summarized in Table 1. In Comparative Example 2, a packaging material could not be produced, and therefore the evaluation was given as "-". (Evaluation criteria for slip-off performance) A: It had slid down to the bottom of the laminate. B: The laminate had slid down to the middle. C: The adhesive was held at the top of the laminate and did not slide down. (Evaluation criteria for preventing contents from remaining) A: Almost no residue was left on the laminate. B: Some residue was observed on the laminate. C: A large amount of residue was found on the laminate.
