Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an adhesive tape and a package. [Background technology]

[0002] Generally, packages (also referred to as adherends) for boxed lunches, fried foods, and the like sold at convenience stores and the like are sealed with adhesive tape to prevent the food inside the package from spilling out (for example, see Patent Document 1 below). Such adhesive tapes have an adhesive layer on the surface. Sealing with adhesive tape can be done in two ways: sealing separate containers, such as boxed lunch containers, or by folding and sealing a single container, such as a container for fried foods.

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-211247 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] When a package sealed with the adhesive tape disclosed in Patent Document 1 is heated with microwaves in a microwave oven or the like when eating food, the package becomes extremely hot and difficult to touch, making it difficult to peel off the adhesive tape.

[0005] The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and has an object to provide a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape that can be easily peeled off from an adherend by irradiating it with microwaves. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To achieve the above object, the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape according to the present invention has a heat-shrinkable substrate and a heat-generating portion that generates heat by absorbing microwaves.The heat generating material constituting the heat generating portion is at least one selected from the group consisting of zinc oxide and an acrylic polymer obtained by copolymerizing a cyano group-containing unsaturated compound. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] According to the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape of the present invention, the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape can be easily peeled off from an adherend by irradiating it with microwaves. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 6] FIG. 10 is a schematic diagram showing a state in which adhesive tape is attached to a packaging body of a modified example. [Figure 7] 10A and 10B are schematic diagrams showing how the adhesive tape is peeled off from the packaging body of the modified example. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0009] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same elements are given the same reference numerals, and duplicate explanations will be omitted. Furthermore, the dimensional proportions in the drawings are exaggerated for the convenience of explanation and may differ from the actual proportions.

[0010] In this specification, the range "X to Y" means "X or more and Y or less." Unless otherwise specified, operations and physical properties are measured under conditions of room temperature (20 to 25°C) and relative humidity of 45 to 55% RH. In this specification, "(meth)acrylic" refers to "acrylic or methacrylic."

[0011] The adhesive tape 1 is provided to seal the package 50 (see FIG. 2). The shape of the adhesive tape 1 is not particularly limited, and may be any shape such as a square, rectangle, oval, or circle when viewed from the stacking direction. Furthermore, the adhesive tape 1 may have a tab that does not include the adhesive layer 30 to facilitate peeling from the package 50.

[0012] Considering adhesion to the package 50, the adhesive strength of the adhesive tape 1 is preferably 1 N / 25 mm or more, more preferably 2 N / 25 mm or more. Considering peeling from the package 50, the adhesive strength of the adhesive tape 1 is preferably 15 N / 25 mm or less, more preferably 10 N / 25 mm or less. The adhesive strength to the adherend is measured by attaching the adhesive layer 30 side of the adhesive tape 1 to a polypropylene plate and measuring it after 24 hours in accordance with JIS Z0237:2009 using a tensile tester in a 180° direction at a test speed of 300 mm / min. More specifically, the adhesive strength to the adherend is measured by the following method: the adhesive tape 1 is left to stand for one day under standard conditions (23°C, 50% RH), the release liner 40 is peeled off, and the adhesive layer 30 side is attached to a polypropylene plate. After standing under standard conditions for 24 hours, the adhesive strength is measured according to JIS Z0237:2009. Specifically, the adhesive strength is measured by peeling the film in a 180° direction at a test speed of 300 mm / min using a tensile tester. The numerical value is converted into peel force per 25 mm of film width (N / 25 mm). The structure of the adhesive tape 1 will be described below with reference to FIG. 1.

[0013] Fig. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1 according to the present embodiment. As shown in Fig. 1, the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1 according to the first embodiment of the present invention comprises a heat-shrinkable substrate 10, a heat-generating portion 20 that generates heat by absorbing microwaves, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 formed on the surface of the substrate 10 opposite to the surface on which the heat-generating portion 20 is provided, and a release liner 40 formed on the surface of the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 opposite to the surface on which the substrate 10 is provided. The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1 may have other functional layers on the heat-generating portion 20 or between the respective layers. Examples of other functional layers include a printing layer and a primer layer.

[0014] When the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1 of this embodiment is irradiated with microwaves by heating in a microwave oven or the like, the heat generating portion 20 generates heat, and the generated heat is transferred to the substrate 10, causing the substrate 10 to shrink. As a result, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 is subjected to a shrinkage stress, which reduces the contact area at the interface between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 and the package 50, reducing the adhesive strength of the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1, and further causing the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1 to peel off from the package 50.

[0015] The release liner 40 prevents foreign matter such as dust from adhering to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 until the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 30 is attached to the packaging body 50. Therefore, the release liner 40 is peeled off when the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1 is attached to the packaging body 50. For this reason, the pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1 also includes those that do not have a release liner 40.

[0016] <Base material 10> The substrate 10 is not particularly limited, but a resin film that can shrink in a heated environment is preferably used.

[0017] The shrinkage percentage of the substrate 10 is preferably 10 to 90%, and more preferably 20 to 80%. The shrinkage percentage is calculated from the dimensions of the film before shrinkage and the dimensions after shrinkage when the film is heated to 70°C, based on the following formula:

[0047] <Release liner 40> The pressure-sensitive adhesive tape 1 of the present embodiment may have a release liner 40.

However, the packaging body 150 may be formed of separate containers 151 and 152, such as lunch box containers, as shown in Fig. 6. In this case, the adhesive tape 1 is attached to the containers 151 and 152 with the containers 151 and 152 in close contact with each other.

[0067] When the packaging body 150 is irradiated with microwaves from a microwave oven or the like, the adhesive layer 30 generates heat and the substrate 10 contracts, causing a part of the adhesive tape 1 to peel off from the packaging body 150, as shown in FIG.

[0068] In the above-described embodiment, the adherend to which the adhesive tape is adhered has been described as an example of a package of a lunch box, fried food, etc. However, the adherend to which the adhesive tape is adhered is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, an industrial product, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
