Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an oxygen-absorbing laminate for a microwave-compatible packaging container that generates little odor, inhibits the permeation of oxygen gas from the outside, inhibits oxygen-induced deterioration of the contents by absorbing oxygen within the content storage space, and has an excellent balance of aroma retention, content resistance, interlayer adhesive strength, heat-sealing properties, amount of odor generated, and oxygen absorption performance, making it suitable for filled packaging; and to an oxygen-absorbing packaging material for a microwave-compatible packaging container and a microwave-compatible oxygen-absorbing packaging container made from the oxygen-absorbing laminate for a microwave-compatible packaging container. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventional packaging methods to prevent oxygen-induced quality deterioration of contents such as food, medicine, chemical products, and cosmetics have included using packaging materials with high oxygen barrier properties, replacing the gas in the content storage area with an inert gas such as nitrogen gas, or including an oxygen absorber packaged with reduced iron powder or the like. However, these methods have problems such as insufficient performance, increased packaging costs, increased waste, only functioning in moist environments, and the risk of accidental ingestion. Conventional oxygen-absorbing laminates or oxygen-absorbing packaging materials contain an oxygen absorber, which includes an organic compound or a metal-based oxygen absorber such as iron powder, and the oxygen absorber itself oxidizes to absorb oxygen in the content storage space. Furthermore, in many cases, the oxygen absorbing layer containing the oxygen absorber is disposed in a layer closer to the contents-accommodating space, for example, in a layer adjacent to the sealant layer, in order to increase the oxygen absorption efficiency. However, since the sealant layer is the innermost layer that comes into contact with the contents, it generally contains various additives such as antioxidants, lubricants, and antiblocking agents to impart various functionalities, and these additives tend to migrate to the adjacent oxygen absorbing layer. As a result, when the oxygen absorber is an organic compound, the additive, particularly the antioxidant, that migrates to the oxygen absorbing layer tends to inhibit the oxidation reaction of the oxygen absorber, resulting in a decrease in oxygen absorption efficiency. Furthermore, when the oxygen absorber is a metal-based oxygen absorber, the above-mentioned interference is unlikely to occur. However, the oxygen absorbing layer is severely colored by the oxygen absorber, and the color of the packaging material is so dark that the contents cannot be seen, making it impossible to inspect the contents using a metal detector or the like. Although the packaging can be heated in a microwave oven, there is a concern that rust may occur due to moisture. Furthermore, Patent Document 1 proposes a packaging material for medical use that has oxygen absorbing properties and can be retorted, but the sealant layer is made of a special highly heat-resistant polyethylene resin that is difficult to obtain, and this has problems with its versatility. Furthermore, Patent Document 2 also describes the development of a packaging material using a resin that has oxygen absorbing properties and emits little odor. However, this resin is polycyclododecene, which is insoluble in polar solvents and does not have active hydrogen groups, making it difficult to use as an adhesive raw material for packaging materials made of laminates. Patent Document 3 proposes a laminating adhesive made of a resin using methyltetrahydrophthalic acid as a raw material having oxygen absorbing properties, but it has the drawback of being unstable and having low oxygen absorbing properties. Patent Document 4 describes an oxygen-absorbing resin that is a thermoplastic resin having a saturated five-membered ring having a substituent containing a carbon-carbon double bond and a repeating unit consisting of a -CH=CH- group connecting the saturated five-membered rings. However, this resin has drawbacks such as being difficult to use due to poor solubility in solvents and emitting a strong odor. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0008] The present invention will be described in more detail below. The following description of the constituent elements is an example of an embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these contents as long as it does not deviate from the gist of the present invention. In the present invention, the terms film and sheet have the same meaning. The boiling / retort treatment conditions in the present invention refer to treatment conditions in which the food is heated at 90 to 135° C. under 1 to 3 atmospheres.

[0009] <<Oxygen-absorbing laminate for microwave-safe packaging containers>> The oxygen-absorbing laminate for a microwave-safe packaging container of the present invention has a layer structure including at least a substrate layer, an inorganic oxygen barrier layer, an oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer, a shielding resin layer, and a sealant layer, in this order. In a microwave-safe oxygen-absorbing packaging container produced using the oxygen-absorbing laminate for a microwave-safe packaging container, the sealant layer is heat-sealed and the inorganic oxygen barrier layer is positioned outside the oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer. By positioning the inorganic oxygen barrier layer outside the oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer, oxygen is prevented from penetrating the packaging material from the outside, and the efficiency with which the oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer absorbs oxygen in the content storage space and reduces the oxygen concentration can be increased. Furthermore, since the oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer is not adjacent to the sealant layer, with a shielding resin layer between them, and the migration of various additives contained in the sealant layer to the oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer is suppressed by the shielding resin layer, a decrease in the oxygen absorption efficiency of the oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer is suppressed. Furthermore, the oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer in the present invention is a layer formed from an oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition containing an oxygen-absorbing compound, which is an organic compound, and an oxidation-promoting catalyst, and is not a layer containing a metallic oxygen absorber such as iron powder, so there is no dark coloring due to the metallic oxygen absorber.When an inorganic oxygen barrier layer of a transparent vapor-deposited film made of a specific metal oxide such as alumina is used, the contents inside the package can be seen, the contents can be inspected using a metal detector, etc., the package can be heated in a microwave oven, and there is no concern about rust due to moisture. The sealant layer contains a heat-sealable resin. In the case of a packaging material for a microwave-safe packaging container, microwave heating is required for thermal sterilization, so a resin of a grade having high heat resistance and resistance to oxidation and deterioration may be used, or an antioxidant or the like may be added to enhance the heat resistance and resistance to oxidation and deterioration. Specifically, the sealant layer softening point It is preferable that the temperature is 120°C or higher. The oxygen-absorbing laminate for a microwave-safe packaging container of the present invention preferably has a total light transmittance of 80 or more and a haze value of 40 or less, and is transparent.

[0010] The oxygen-absorbing laminate for a packaging container to be heated in a microwave oven may further include various functional layers having various functions, as required, such as an auxiliary barrier layer, an aroma-retaining layer, a light-shielding layer, and a reinforcing layer. Furthermore, a general-purpose adhesive layer may be included between or within each of the above layers to improve interlayer adhesion.

[0011] [Contents] In the above, examples of contents include, but are not limited to, foods such as coffee beans, tea leaves, cheese, snacks, rice crackers, fresh and semi-fresh sweets, fruits, nuts, vegetables, fruits, fish and meat products, paste products, dried fish, smoked foods, tsukudani (foods boiled in soy sauce), raw rice, cooked rice, rice cakes, baby foods, jam, mayonnaise, ketchup, cooking oil, dressings, sauces, spices, dairy products, pet food, beverages such as beer, wine, fruit juice, green tea, and coffee, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, shampoos and conditioners, detergents, metal parts, and electronic parts.

[0012] <About the layers that make up the oxygen-absorbing laminate for microwave-safe packaging containers>

[0013] ≪Base material layer≫ The material for the substrate layer can be a commonly known and commonly used resin film that has excellent mechanical, physical, chemical, and other properties, and is particularly strong, tough, and heat-resistant. Furthermore, various paper substrates can be used, and a resin film and a paper substrate can be used in combination. The substrate layer may be composed of one layer, or may be composed of two or more layers of the same or different compositions laminated by any lamination means. The thickness of the base layer can be set as appropriate by those skilled in the art, but for the purpose of imparting appropriate strength and stiffness to the laminate, the thickness of the base layer is preferably 5 μm to 100 μm, more preferably 10 μm to 50 μm, and even more preferably 15 to 25 μm.

[0014] Specific examples of the resin film include resin films made from tough thermoplastic resins such as polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyethylene naphthalate, polyolefin resins such as polypropylene, polyamide resins such as nylon, polyaramid resins, polycarbonate resins, polyacetal resins, fluorine-based resins, and others. The resin film may be either an unstretched film or a uniaxially or biaxially stretched film. Among the above, biaxially oriented PET film and biaxially oriented nylon film are preferably used.

[0015] The paper substrate can be one that can impart shapeability, flex resistance, rigidity, etc., and for example, a paper substrate for a paper layer that is bleached or unbleached and has strong sizing properties, or a paper substrate such as pure white roll paper, kraft paper, paperboard, coated paper, processed paper, milk base paper, etc. can be used. The paper base material has a basis weight of approximately 30 g / m 2 ~600g / m 2 A basis weight of about 50 g / m is preferable. 2 ~450g / m 2 The order of is more preferable.

[0016] If necessary, plastic compounding agents and additives such as lubricants, crosslinking agents, antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbers, light stabilizers, fillers, reinforcing agents, antistatic agents, and pigments can be added to the resin film used in the base layer for the purpose of improving or modifying processability, heat resistance, weather resistance, mechanical properties, dimensional stability, antioxidant properties, slipperiness, mold releasability, flame retardancy, mildew resistance, electrical properties, strength, etc. The amount of addition can be arbitrarily determined depending on the purpose, as long as it does not adversely affect other properties. The substrate layer can be laminated to another layer via an adhesive layer. Furthermore, if necessary, in order to strengthen the adhesive strength between the substrate layer and the adhesive layer, the surface of the substrate layer that comes into contact with the adhesive can be previously subjected to a physical surface treatment such as corona discharge treatment, ozone treatment, plasma treatment, glow discharge treatment, sandblasting treatment, etc., or a chemical surface treatment such as oxidation treatment using chemicals.

[0017] <Inorganic oxygen barrier layer> The inorganic oxygen barrier layer is a layer that inhibits oxygen from passing from the outside of the package to the contents-storing section inside the package in a package made using the oxygen-absorbing laminate for a microwave-safe packaging container. In a microwave-compatible oxygen-absorbing pouch made using an oxygen-absorbing laminate for microwave-compatible packaging containers, the inorganic oxygen barrier layer is positioned outside the oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer, which prevents oxygen from entering from outside the package and enhances the effect of the oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer absorbing oxygen in the content storage section inside the package to reduce the oxygen concentration. For the inorganic oxygen barrier layer, various oxygen barrier materials can be used, such as inorganic vapor deposition films containing one or more materials selected from the group consisting of metal oxides, metal nitrides, and metal carbides. Furthermore, the material may be an oxygen barrier material that has barrier properties not only against oxygen but also against water vapor, light blocking properties against sunlight, aroma retention properties for the contents, etc. Alternatively, barrier materials having these barrier properties may be used in combination.

[0018] Among the above, metal oxide vapor-deposited films vapor-deposited on a resin film constituting the base layer are particularly preferred because they easily provide excellent barrier properties against oxygen gas, water vapor, light blocking, aroma retention, etc., and have the advantage of being environmentally friendly in terms of disposal of the container. Furthermore, in the case of a vapor deposition film made of a specific metal oxide, such as alumina (aluminum oxide), the inorganic oxygen barrier layer and laminate can be made transparent, which makes it possible to visually check the contents inside the package, inspect the contents using a metal detector, etc., heat the package in a microwave oven, and eliminates the risk of rust due to moisture.

[0019] Specific examples of metal elements constituting inorganic compounds such as the metal oxides, metal nitrides, and metal carbides include aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), potassium (K), tin (Sn), sodium (Na), boron (B), titanium (Ti), lead (Pb), zirconium (Zr), yttrium (Y), zinc (Zn), vanadium (V), barium (Ba), and chromium (Cr).

[0020] Specific examples of inorganic compounds include metal oxides, metal nitrides, and metal carbides made from the above metal elements, as well as indium tin oxide (ITO) and SiO prepared by chemical vapor deposition, etc. x C y Composite inorganic compounds such as membranes are also included. Specific examples of inorganic compounds for the inorganic vapor deposition layer include silica (silicon oxide), alumina (aluminum oxide), silicon nitride, silicon carbide, etc. Among these, silica and alumina are preferred.

[0021] The average composition of inorganic compounds is expressed as, for example, SiO x , AlO x , SiO x C y MO etc. x , M.O. x C y (wherein, M represents a metal element, and the ranges of x and y vary depending on the metal element.) In the case of metal oxides, the range of the value of x is as follows: silicon is 0 to 2, aluminum is 0 to 1.5, magnesium is 0 to 1, calcium is 0 to 1, potassium is 0 to 0.5, tin is 0 to 2, sodium is 0 to 0.5, boron is 0 to 1.5, titanium is 0 to 2, lead is 0 to 1, zirconium is 0 to 2, yttrium is , can take values ​​in the range of 0 to 1.5. The above MO X In the formula, when x=0, the material is metallic and not transparent, and the upper limit of the range of x is the value when the material is completely oxidized. In the present invention, silicon oxide and aluminum oxide are preferably used, and silicon oxide having an x ​​value in the range of 1.0 to 2.0 and aluminum oxide having an x ​​value in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 can be used. The inorganic oxygen barrier layer may be formed of one of these barrier materials, or a combination of two or more of them, or a mixture of two or more of them. It may also be composed of a single layer or multiple layers of the same or different compositions, and in the case of multiple layers, they do not have to be laminated adjacently.

[0022] Since the resin film supporting the inorganic oxygen barrier layer has a vapor-deposited layer of an inorganic compound formed thereon, it is preferable to use a resin film that has excellent mechanical, physical, chemical, and other properties, and is particularly strong and tough, and has heat resistance. The resin film supporting the inorganic oxygen barrier layer may be the resin film constituting the substrate layer, or may be another resin film. When the inorganic oxygen barrier layer is adhered to the resin film, it can be laminated by adhering via an oxygen absorbing adhesive composition or a general-purpose adhesive layer. When laminating a resin film with an inorganic vapor deposition layer, if necessary, in order to strengthen the adhesive strength with other layers, the surface of the resin film with an inorganic vapor deposition layer may be subjected in advance to a physical surface treatment such as corona discharge treatment, ozone treatment, plasma treatment, glow discharge treatment, sandblasting treatment, etc., or a chemical surface treatment such as oxidation treatment using chemicals, to form a surface treatment layer.

[0023] Specifically, in the present invention, examples of the resin film supporting the inorganic vapor deposition layer include polyester resin films such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyamide resin films such as various nylons, polyolefin films such as polyethylene resins, polypropylene resins, cyclic polyolefin resins, polystyrene resins, acrylonitrile-styrene copolymers (AS resins), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers (ABS resins), and polybutene resin films, polyvinyl chloride resins, polycarbonate resins, polyimide resins, polyamideimide resins, polyarylphthalate resins, silicone resins, polysulfone resins, polyphenylene sulfide resins, polyethersulfone resins, polyurethane resins, cellulose resins, poly(meth)acrylic resins, polyvinylidene chloride films, acetal resin films, fluorine-containing resins, and others. Among the above resins, it is particularly preferable to use a film of a polypropylene-based resin, a polyester-based resin, or a polyamide-based resin.

[0024] The resin film supporting the inorganic vapor deposition layer can be an oxygen barrier resin coating film or an oxygen barrier resin film made of an oxygen barrier resin, and can also exhibit gas barrier properties against water vapor and the like, aroma retention properties, and the like. Examples of oxygen barrier resins that can be used include films or coatings of resins with excellent gas barrier properties, such as polyvinylidene chloride resins (PVDC), polyester resins, polyamide resins (particularly aromatic polyamides such as nylon MXD6), ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers (EVOH) with an ethylene content of 25 mol % to 50 mol % obtained by fully saponifying ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers (vinyl acetate is approximately 79 wt % to 92 wt %), polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylonitrile, and others. The thickness of the resin film supporting the inorganic vapor deposition layer is not limited, but is preferably 0.5 μm to 300 μm, and more preferably 1 μm to 100 μm.

[0025] The inorganic vapor deposition layer can be formed on a resin film using the inorganic compounds described above as raw materials, for example, by physical vapor deposition (PVD) methods such as vacuum deposition, sputtering, ion plating, and cluster ion beam deposition, or chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods such as plasma chemical vapor deposition, thermal chemical vapor deposition, and photochemical vapor deposition.

[0026] More specifically, in the above-mentioned PVD method, for example, a take-up vapor deposition machine is used, and a resin film coming off a winding roll in a vacuum chamber is placed in a vapor deposition chamber, where a vapor deposition source heated in a crucible is evaporated. If necessary, oxygen or the like is ejected from an oxygen outlet while an inorganic vapor deposition layer is formed on the resin film on a cooled coating drum through a mask, and the resin film with the inorganic vapor deposition layer formed thereon is then wound up on a take-up roll, thereby producing a resin film with an inorganic vapor deposition layer according to the present invention.

[0027] On the other hand, in the above-mentioned CVD method, a resin film on which a vapor-deposited layer of silicon oxide is formed by plasma can be produced by introducing a mixed gas of, for example, an organic silicon compound as a monomer gas, oxygen gas, an inert gas, etc., supplied from a vapor deposition raw material volatilization and supply device onto the surface of a resin film unwound from a winding roll arranged in a vapor deposition chamber, on the circumferential surface of an electrode drum, while cooling the vapor deposition chamber.

[0028] In the above, the thickness of the inorganic vapor deposition layer is preferably 30 Å to 3000 Å, more preferably 40 Å to 2500 Å, and even more preferably 50 Å to 2000 Å, in order to obtain sufficient oxygen barrier properties. More specifically, in the above-mentioned PVD method, the thickness of the inorganic vapor deposition layer made of aluminum oxide is preferably 30 Å to 1000 Å, and more preferably about 50 Å to 500 Å. In the above CVD method, the thickness of the inorganic vapor deposition layer made of silicon oxide is preferably 30 Å to 3000 Å, and more preferably 100 Å to 300 Å. If the thickness of the inorganic vapor deposition layer exceeds the above range, cracks or the like may easily occur in the inorganic vapor deposition layer, which may reduce the barrier properties and increase the material cost, which is undesirable. If the thickness is less than the above range, it may be difficult to achieve sufficient oxygen barrier properties, which is undesirable.

[0029] The resin film with an inorganic vapor deposition layer preferably has an acid permeability of 3.0 cc / m2 measured in accordance with JIS K7126 under an environment of a temperature of 23°C and a humidity of 90% RH. 2 ·atm·day or less, and more preferably 2.0cc / m 2 ·atm·day or less, and more preferably 1.0cc / m 2 If the oxygen permeability satisfies the above range, it is possible to sufficiently prevent oxygen from entering the content-accommodating portion inside the package from the outside of the package. The resin film with an inorganic vapor deposition layer preferably has a water vapor permeability of 3.0 g / m2 or less, as measured in accordance with JIS K7129 under an environment of a temperature of 40°C and a humidity of 100% RH. 2 ·day or less, and more preferably 2.0 g / m 2 ·day or less, and more preferably 1.5 g / m 2 If the water vapor transmission rate satisfies the above numerical range, it is possible to sufficiently prevent water vapor from entering the content-accommodating portion inside the package from the outside of the package.

[0030] When forming the inorganic vapor deposition layer, SiO x By pre-treating the resin film surface to be vapor-deposited with plasma or the like, polar groups, free radicals, etc. are generated on the surface, thereby increasing the adhesion between the inorganic vapor-deposited layer and the resin film. Furthermore, when two or more inorganic vapor deposition layers are successively laminated using a plasma chemical vapor deposition apparatus consisting of at least two or more film-forming chambers, each layer has high gas barrier properties. Since the film can be deposited in this manner, it is possible to obtain gas barrier properties that are even higher than those of a single layer. Furthermore, by performing continuous deposition without exposing the film to the atmosphere, it is possible to prevent foreign matter, dust, etc., which may cause cracks, from being mixed between the inorganic vapor-deposited layers, and the gas barrier properties are improved. Furthermore, if the compositions of the vapor-deposited layers are different, the inorganic vapor-deposited layers are different discontinuous layers, and therefore the permeation of oxygen gas, water vapor, etc. can be more efficiently suppressed.

[0031] <Oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer> The oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer is a layer formed using an oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition, and is a layer that absorbs oxygen.

[0032] Oxygen-Absorbing Adhesive Composition The oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition of the present invention contains at least an oxygen-absorbing compound and an oxidation-promoting catalyst. The oxygen-absorbing compound contained may be one or two or more kinds, and the oxidation-promoting catalyst contained may be one or two or more kinds. The oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition may further contain a modifier, a diluting solvent, various additives, and the like, as required.

[0033] The oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition may be prepared by adding an oxygen-absorbing compound to an existing adhesive composition, or by using an oxygen-absorbing compound as a resin component. Here, the existing oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition may be a one-component oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition or a two-component oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition. The oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition and / or the above-mentioned existing adhesive composition may be curable or non-curable. If curable, it may be heat-curable, photo-curable, electron beam-curable, or the like. The oxygen-absorbing compound may or may not react with components contained in existing adhesive compositions, or may react with itself. Depending on the presence or absence of the above reaction and the type of reaction, one or more oxygen-absorbing compounds can be selected and used from among those having no functional group, those having a (co)polymerizable functional group, and those having a functional group that can react as a main agent or a curing agent.

[0034] Specifically, for example, an oxygen-absorbing compound without a functional group and / or an oxygen-absorbing compound with a functional group can be added to a two-component urethane adhesive composition containing an isocyanate compound and a hydroxyl group-containing compound. In this case, the functional group is preferably an isocyanate group and / or a hydroxyl group. For example, the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition can be prepared by combining the main component and curing agent of the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition with an isocyanate compound and an oxygen-absorbing compound having a hydroxyl group, with a hydroxyl group-containing compound and an oxygen-absorbing compound having an isocyanate group, or with an oxygen-absorbing compound having a hydroxyl group and an oxygen-absorbing compound having an isocyanate group. The oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition is preferably a urethane-based oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition.

[0035] The solid content of the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition is not particularly limited, but is preferably 20% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less.

[0036] The content of the oxygen-absorbing compound in the solid content excluding the oxidation-promoting catalyst in the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition is preferably 40% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less. The case of 100% by mass means that the oxygen-absorbing compound can be used as a resin component of the adhesive composition, and that the oxygen-absorbing compound has sufficient adhesiveness by itself, has a functional group that can be cured by itself, or is used as a mixture of an oxygen-absorbing compound having a functional group that serves as a main agent and an oxygen-absorbing compound having a functional group that serves as a curing agent.

[0037] The content of the oxidation-promoting catalyst in the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition is preferably 10 ppm or more and 6000 ppm or less relative to the oxygen-absorbing compound. If the content is less than the above range, the oxygen absorption may be insufficient, and if the content is more than the above range, the oxygen absorption may become unstable, and the oxygen absorption may be consumed before the microwave-safe oxygen-absorbing packaging container is produced, which may impair the effect of inhibiting deterioration due to oxygen after the microwave-safe oxygen-absorbing packaging container is produced.

[0038] [Oxygen absorbing compounds] The oxygen-absorbing compound of the present invention has oxygen-absorbing properties, generates little odor, and can be used alone or mixed with a resin or a resin composition. The oxygen-absorbing compound of the present invention is an unsaturated five-membered ring-containing compound having one or more unsaturated five-membered rings, in which any bond between five carbon atoms constituting the unsaturated five-membered ring is a carbon-carbon double bond, and a monovalent and / or divalent or higher electron-donating organic group 1 is bonded to the unsaturated five-membered ring. When there is one unsaturated five-membered ring, the five-membered ring or the organic group 1 has a functional group having an active hydrogen, or a group in which the active hydrogen of the functional group having an active hydrogen is substituted with a monovalent organic group 2; when there are two or more unsaturated five-membered rings, the unsaturated five-membered rings are bonded to each other via a divalent or higher organic group 2 that substitutes the active hydrogen of the active hydrogen group on each of the organic groups 1. When there are two or more such unsaturated five-membered rings in one molecule, the unsaturated five-membered rings are bonded to each other via a structure in which the active hydrogen of a functional group having an active hydrogen on each of the five-membered rings or organic group 1 is substituted with a divalent or higher organic group 2. The unsaturated five-membered ring, organic group 1, and organic group 2 present in one molecule may each be of one or more types, and the number may be one or more. Furthermore, the number of organic groups 1 bonded to one unsaturated five-membered ring may be one or more. Furthermore, the oxygen-absorbing compound may be a mixture of molecules having two or more structures in which the types and numbers of the unsaturated five-membered ring, organic group 1, and organic group 2 present in one molecule are different, as described above.

[0039] Organic group 1 donates electrons to the unsaturated five-membered ring, thereby increasing the electron density of the carbon-carbon double bond portion of the unsaturated five-membered ring, thereby increasing the reactivity with oxygen and improving the oxygen absorption capacity. It is preferable that no electron-withdrawing group is bonded to the unsaturated five-membered ring, because the electron-withdrawing group reduces the electron density of the carbon-carbon double bond of the unsaturated five-membered ring, reducing the reactivity with oxygen and the oxygen absorption ability. Specific molecular structures of the oxygen-absorbing compound include, for example, one unsaturated five-membered ring bonded to a monovalent or divalent organic group 1; one unsaturated five-membered ring bonded to a monovalent or divalent organic group 1 and a monovalent organic group 2 in that order; two unsaturated five-membered rings bonded via a divalent organic group 1 and a divalent organic group 2; and three unsaturated five-membered rings bonded via a divalent organic group 1 and a trivalent organic group 2.

[0040] The oxygen absorbing compound may or may not have a crosslinkable functional group. The crosslinkable functional group may be a functional group that was possessed by the compound from which the organic group 2 is derived, or may be a functional group that has been added by chemical modification. Since the oxygen absorbing compound has a crosslinkable functional group, when the oxygen absorbing compound is mixed with a resin or a resin composition, the oxygen absorbing compound has compatibility with the resin or the resin composition. The oxygen-absorbing compound content in the resin or resin composition can be increased by increasing the oxygen-absorbing compound content or by becoming part of the crosslinked structure of the resin or resin composition, making it less likely to bleed from the resin or resin composition or the cured product of the resin composition. Specific examples of the crosslinkable functional group include an aliphatic hydroxyl group, an aromatic hydroxyl group, an isocyanate group, an amino group, an epoxy group, a (meth)acrylic group, etc. Among these, an isocyanate group and an aliphatic hydroxyl group are preferred. When the oxygen-absorbing compound has a crosslinkable functional group, the number of the crosslinkable functional group contained in one molecule is preferably 1 or 2 or more. Furthermore, the number of types of crosslinkable functional groups contained in one molecule may be 1 or 2 or more.

[0041] The number-average molecular weight of the oxygen-absorbing compound is preferably 100 to 10,000, more preferably 200 to 5,000, and even more preferably 300 to 2,500. If the number-average molecular weight is smaller than the above range, precipitation is likely to occur when mixed with a resin or a resin composition. If the number-average molecular weight is larger than the above range, the viscosity of the mixture increases when mixed with a resin or a resin composition, which often requires the inclusion of a large amount of diluent solvent, making it difficult to obtain a thick film or layer and reducing coatability.

[0042] The oxygen absorbing action of the oxygen absorbing compound of the present invention can be accelerated by heating or adding a catalyst.

[0043] (unsaturated five-membered ring) The unsaturated five-membered ring of the oxygen-absorbing compound has a carbon-carbon double bond therein, where the carbon-carbon double bond is any bond between five carbon atoms constituting the unsaturated five-membered ring, and there may be one or two carbon-carbon double bonds in one unsaturated five-membered ring. The carbon-carbon double bond reacts with oxygen molecules in the air and captures the oxygen molecules, thereby allowing the oxygen-absorbing compound to exhibit its oxygen-absorbing properties. Examples of compounds from which the above-mentioned unsaturated five-membered ring or unsaturated five-membered ring bonded to the electron-donating organic group 1 is derived include cyclopentadiene, dicyclopentadiene, norbornene, and derivatives thereof. The oxygen-absorbing compound can have an unsaturated five-membered ring derived from one or more of these selected from the group consisting of these. The concentration of unsaturated five-membered rings in the oxygen-absorbing compound is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1% by mass or more and 70% by mass or less, and more preferably 5% by mass or more and 60% by mass or less. If the concentration is lower than the above range, the oxygen absorption is likely to be insufficient, and it is difficult to obtain an oxygen-absorbing compound with a higher concentration than the above range, which tends to result in a poor balance between various physical properties.

[0044] (Electron-donating organic group 1) Specific examples of the organic group 1 include an alkyl group, an alkylene group, a cyclic alkylene group, etc. Among these, a cyclic alkylene group is preferred, and one which forms an aliphatic bicyclic alkylene group together with the unsaturated five-membered ring is more preferred.

Indene and coumarone, in which only these electron-withdrawing groups are bonded to the unsaturated five-membered ring, have a low electron density in the carbon-carbon double bond portion of the unsaturated five-membered ring, and therefore have a low reactivity with oxygen. , and has low oxygen absorption.

[0046] (functional group having active hydrogen) A functional group having an active hydrogen is chemically reactive. Specific examples of functional groups having active hydrogen include primary amino groups, secondary amino groups, aliphatic hydroxyl groups, aromatic hydroxyl groups, imino groups, carboxyl groups, urethane groups, and urea groups. Of these, primary amino groups, secondary amino groups, aliphatic hydroxyl groups, and aromatic hydroxyl groups are preferred, and aliphatic hydroxyl groups are more preferred.

[0047] (organic group 2) Organic group 2 is a monovalent and / or divalent or higher group that substitutes the active hydrogen of the functional group having an active hydrogen on the five-membered ring or organic group 1 and is bonded to the five-membered ring or organic group 1. When there are two or more such unsaturated five-membered rings in one molecule, the unsaturated five-membered rings are bonded to each other via a structure in which the active hydrogen of a functional group having an active hydrogen is substituted with a divalent or higher organic group 2. As a specific example, a functional group having an active hydrogen on organic group 1 reacts with an isocyanate group of an isocyanate compound having a structural part from which organic group 2 is derived, and the active hydrogen is substituted for organic group 2, resulting in bonding via a urethane group. By bonding organic group 2, the oxygen-absorbing compound can have two or more unsaturated five-membered rings in one molecule, and further, when mixed with a resin or a resin composition to prepare a mixture, the compatibility, dispersibility, and reactivity can be improved.Furthermore, the mixture and the cured product of the mixture can be adjusted to be soft.

[0048] The organic group 2 may be an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, or may have both an aliphatic group and an aromatic group. The organic group 2 present in one molecule of the oxygen-absorbing compound may be of one type or of two or more types. The organic group 2 is preferably a group containing a structural moiety derived from an isocyanate compound and / or a hydroxyl group-containing compound.

Among these, biuret derivatives of toluene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, and hexamethylene diisocyanate are preferred. In the present invention, one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of these isocyanate compounds can be used as the origin of the structural moiety of the monovalent and / or divalent or higher hydrocarbon group. When two or more compounds are used, two compounds may be used in the same molecule of the oxygen-absorbing compound, or molecules of the oxygen-absorbing compound containing different compounds may be mixed.

[0050] The number average molecular weight of the isocyanate compound is preferably 100 to 10,000, more preferably 160 to 1600. A number-average molecular weight of 5000 is more preferable. If the number-average molecular weight is smaller than the above range, precipitation is likely to occur when mixed with a resin or a resin composition. If the number-average molecular weight is larger than the above range, the viscosity of the mixture increases when mixed with a resin or a resin composition, which often requires the inclusion of a large amount of diluent solvent, making it difficult to obtain a thick film or layer and reducing coatability.

To prevent odor generation, the hydroxyl group-containing compound is preferably one that does not have a double bond in the aliphatic chain of the main skeleton or one that has two hydroxyl groups. Compounds with terminal hydroxyl groups are preferred because they are more readily available, but they do not necessarily have to be at the terminal. In the present invention, one or more types selected from the group consisting of these can be used as the hydroxyl group-containing compound from which the organic group 2 is derived. When two or more types are used, two types may be used in the same molecule of the oxygen-absorbing compound, or molecules of the oxygen-absorbing compound containing different types may be mixed. The number-average molecular weight of the hydroxyl group-containing compound is preferably 500 to 10,000, more preferably 750 to 5,000, and even more preferably 1,000 to 3,000. If the number-average molecular weight is smaller than the above range, precipitation is likely to occur when mixed with a resin or resin composition. If the number-average molecular weight is larger than the above range, the viscosity of the mixture increases when mixed with a resin or resin composition, which often requires the inclusion of a large amount of diluent solvent, making it difficult to obtain a thick film or layer and reducing coatability.

[0071] [Dilution solvent] The dilution solvent is not particularly limited as long as it can uniformly dissolve or disperse the oxygen-absorbing compound and the oxidation-promoting catalyst, make the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition uniform, and is suitable for the dry lamination process. For example, an ester-based dilution solvent, a ketone-based dilution solvent, a hydrocarbon-based dilution solvent, etc. may be used. This can be done. Specific examples of ester-based diluent solvents include ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, etc., specific examples of ketone-based diluent solvents include methyl ethyl ketone, etc., and specific examples of hydrocarbon-based diluent solvents include toluene, etc. Among these, ethyl acetate is easy to use and is preferred.

[0072] [Various additives] The oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition may contain various additives as needed. For example, curing accelerators, curing regulators for extending the pot life, antioxidants for suppressing a decrease in oxygen absorption during storage or use of the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition and before the contents are placed in a package, adhesion aids, tackifiers, leveling agents, ultraviolet absorbers, and defoamers may also be added.

[0073] (curing accelerator) The curing accelerator can be any accelerator that accelerates the curing reaction of the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition without any particular limitations. Specific examples of the curing accelerator include metal-containing compounds such as dibutyltin dilaurate, dibutyltin diacetate, dioctyltin dilaurate, dibutyltin dimaleate, tetrabutyl titanate, and tetraisopropyl titanate, and tertiary amines such as 1,8-diaza-bicyclo(5,4,0)undecene-7, 1,5-diazabicyclo(4,3,0)nonene-5, and triethanolamine, and one or more selected from the group consisting of these can be used.

[0074] (hardening regulator) When the pot life of an oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition is shortened due to the oxidation-promoting catalyst contained therein, the pot life can be extended by using a cure regulator in combination. Specific examples of the hardening regulator include phosphoric acids, such as orthophosphoric acid, metaphosphoric acid, polyphosphoric acid, and ester derivatives thereof. One or more selected from the group consisting of these can be used. The amount of reaction modifier added is preferably 200 ppm or more and 400 ppm or less relative to the resin component of the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition. If the amount is less than this range, it is difficult to obtain the effect of extending the pot life, and if the amount is more than this range, there is a risk that the curing of the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition will be inhibited.

[0075] (antioxidant) The oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition may contain an antioxidant to suppress deterioration of oxygen absorption properties during storage or use of the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition, and also in processes before a package made using the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition contains contents, and to maintain high oxygen absorption properties after the contents are contained. Specific examples of antioxidants include phenols, lactones, thioethers, gallic acid, ascorbic acid, erythorbic acid, catechin, dibutylhydroxytoluene, tocopherol, citric acid, butylhydroxyanisole, phosphite esters, hindered amines, and aromatic amines, and one or more selected from the group consisting of these can be used. Furthermore, when it is assumed that heat or light is used as a trigger for the development of oxygen absorbing properties, it is preferable to use an antioxidant with low heat resistance and light resistance, such as ascorbic acid or tocopherol, and it is not preferable to use an antioxidant with high heat resistance and light resistance, such as a phenolic antioxidant. The amount of antioxidant added is preferably 10 ppm or more and 10,000 ppm or less relative to the oxygen-absorbing compound. If the amount is less than the above range, the antioxidant effect is likely to be insufficient, and if the amount is more than the above range, the oxygen-absorbing property may be reduced.

[0080] (Antifoaming agent) The antifoaming agent may be a surfactant, polyether-modified silicone oil, or the like, and one or more selected from the group consisting of these may be used.

[0081] <<Method for preparing oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition>> The oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition can be produced by mixing all of the constituent components, such as the oxygen-absorbing compound, the oxidation-promoting catalyst, and, if necessary, a modifier, a diluting solvent, various additives, etc. Alternatively, the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition can be produced by mixing the oxygen-absorbing compound, the oxidation-promoting catalyst, and, if necessary, a modifier, a diluting solvent, various additives, etc., with an existing adhesive composition. The method for carrying out the above mixing and the order in which the components are mixed are not particularly limited, and methods and mixing orders used in preparing general adhesive compositions can be applied. Specific mixing methods include dissolving the components in a solvent and mixing them together, and melt-kneading. In this case, it is preferable to adjust the heating temperature to improve solubility and dispersibility.

[0082] <<Method of Using the Oxygen-Absorbing Adhesive Composition>> There are no particular limitations on the method of using the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition, and any general adhesive method can be used. For example, a non-solvent lamination method in which the coating is heated to obtain an appropriate viscosity, or a dry lamination method in which a diluting solvent or other compounded adhesive is added to adjust the coating viscosity to an appropriate level, can be used. When forming an oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer using the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition, the coating amount is 2 to 5 g / m 2 is preferable, and 3 to 5 g / m 2 If the amount is less than the above range, sufficient oxygen absorption may not be obtained, whereas if the amount is more than the above range, the oxygen absorption does not change significantly, leading to cost disadvantages, and therefore is not preferred.

[0083] The oxygen-absorbing laminate for retort packaging containers obtained by forming and bonding an oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer using the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition is preferably aged at a temperature of 20°C or higher and 50°C or lower for 2 days or higher and 5 days or lower. During aging, it is preferable to carry out the aging at as low a temperature as possible or in an inert gas atmosphere so as not to reduce the oxygen absorbing properties of the oxygen absorbing laminate for a microwave-safe packaging container. When storing the produced oxygen-absorbing laminate for a microwave-safe packaging container, it is preferable to store it at 10°C or below or in an inert gas atmosphere so as not to reduce the oxygen absorption properties of the oxygen-absorbing laminate for a microwave-safe packaging container.

[0084] <About objects that can be glued> There are no particular limitations on the objects to which the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition can be bonded, and it can be bonded to, for example, resin molded products, resin films, paper, inorganic vapor-deposited film surfaces, and inorganic oxide vapor-deposited film surfaces.

[0085] Specific examples of resins for the resin film include polyester-based resins such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyamide-based resins such as various nylons, polyethylene-based resins, polypropylene-based resins, cyclic polyolefin-based resins, polystyrene-based resins, polyolefin-based resins such as acrylonitrile-styrene copolymers (AS resins), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers (ABS resins), and polybutene-based resins, polyvinyl chloride-based resins, polycarbonate-based resins, polyimide-based resins, polyamideimide-based resins, diallyl phthalate-based resins, silicone-based resins, polysulfone-based resins, polyphenylene sulfide-based resins, polyethersulfone-based resins, polyurethane-based resins, cellulose-based resins, poly(meth)acrylic resins, polyvinylidene chloride-based resins, acetal-based resins, and fluorine-based resins.

Specific examples of inorganic oxides in the inorganic vapor deposition layer include silica, alumina, indium tin oxide, zinc oxide, tin oxide, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, vanadium oxide, barium oxide, chromium oxide, silicon nitride, silicon carbide, etc. Among these, silica and alumina are preferred.

[0087] <Shielding resin layer> The shielding resin layer is a resin layer for blocking the migration of various additives, particularly antioxidants, from the sealant layer to the oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer, and may be composed of one layer or two or more layers. The resin contained in the shielding resin layer is not particularly limited as long as it can block the migration of various additives, particularly antioxidants. Specific examples include polyester-based resins, nylon-based resins, polyolefin-based resins, etc. Among the above, polyester resins and nylon resins are preferred because they are excellent in flexibility, puncture resistance, pinhole resistance, and the like.

[0088] The shielding resin layer may be formed by adhering a resin film for the shielding resin layer prepared in advance via an adhesive or the like, or by melt extrusion in which a molten resin composition is laminated on another layer. It may be formed as follows. The resin film may be produced by melt-extruding one or more resin compositions and forming them into a film by an inflation method, or by extrusion using a T-die or the like, by melt-extruding onto a roll and constricting it to form a resin film. Here, it is preferable to corona-treat one or both sides of the produced resin film before bonding and laminating it. When forming a shielding resin layer by melt extrusion, the resin composition is melted, (co)extruded, and poured onto the layer to be laminated, and the shielding resin layer can be formed by an extrusion method using a T-die molding method using a feed block method or a multi-manifold method. In either method, it is possible to prepare a single shielding resin layer or multiple shielding resin layers using resin compositions of the same or different compositions.

[0089] <Sealant layer> The sealant layer is heat-sealed when the package is produced, and therefore preferably contains a heat-sealable resin. Since the package is exposed to high temperatures during retort treatment, it is preferable that the sealant layer contains an antioxidant to improve heat resistance and resistance to oxidation degradation. The content of the antioxidant in the sealant layer is preferably 0.01% by mass or more and 1% by mass or less. If the content is less than this range, the antioxidant effect is likely to be insufficient, and if the content is more than this range, the improvement in the antioxidant effect will plateau and the antioxidant may easily reach the oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer, thereby inhibiting oxygen absorption. The sealant layer may be composed of a single layer, or may be composed of two or more layers having the same or different compositions. The thickness of the sealant layer is preferably 10 μm to 200 μm, more preferably 30 μm to 100 μm.

[0090] The sealant layer may contain any additive other than the antioxidant, provided that the additive does not significantly impair the effects of the present invention. Examples of the additive include various resin additives commonly used to improve the moldability and productivity of resin films and to adjust various physical properties, such as antiblocking agents, slip agents, pigments, flow control agents, flame retardants, fillers, UV absorbers, and surfactants.

[0091] [Heat-sealable resin] Generally, the heat-sealable resin may be a polyolefin resin, an acid-modified polyolefin resin obtained by graft polymerization or copolymerization of a polyolefin resin with an unsaturated carboxylic acid or an anhydride thereof, such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid, maleic anhydride, fumaric acid, or itaconic acid, a polyvinyl acetate resin, a poly(meth)acrylic resin, a polyvinyl chloride resin, or the like. These resins may be used alone or in combination. In the case of a packaging material for a microwave-compatible packaging container, in order to withstand microwave processing, a microwave-compatible heat-sealable resin of a high grade having a high softening point, heat resistance, resistance to oxidation and deterioration may be used, or an antioxidant or the like may be contained to enhance the heat resistance and resistance to oxidation and deterioration. Here, the antioxidant suppresses oxidation of the heat-sealable resin by eliminating radicals that are generated over time or when heated to form the sealant layer or the resin film for the sealant layer. For example, polypropylene is very susceptible to oxidation and deterioration, so it is difficult to use it without adding an antioxidant, and it also has the drawback of being poor in durability. Polyethylene is relatively easy to use without adding antioxidants because it is not easily degraded by oxidation, but because it has low heat resistance, it must be made highly heat resistant through a special compounding process. In the present invention, from the viewpoint of the balance between heat sealability, heat resistance, and resistance to oxidation and deterioration, among the above, microwave-compatible polyolefin-based resins having a softening point of 120°C or higher and 170°C or lower are preferred, and among microwave-compatible polyolefin-based resins, microwave-compatible polypropylene-based resins are more preferred. It is further preferred to use a microwave-safe polypropylene resin together with an antioxidant. Furthermore, it is particularly preferable to form the sealant layer from a CPP film (biaxially oriented polypropylene film) produced using a resin composition containing a microwave-safe polypropylene resin and an antioxidant.

[0092] (Polyolefin resin) Specific examples of heat-sealable polyolefin resins include polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, medium-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, ethylene-α-olefin copolymers polymerized using a metallocene catalyst, polypropylene resins, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers, ionomer resins, ethylene-acrylic acid copolymers, ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymers, ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymers, ethylene-methyl methacrylate copolymers, ethylene-propylene copolymers, methylpentene copolymers, butene copolymers, ethylene-acrylic acid copolymers, ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymers, and cyclic olefin copolymers such as polynorbornene. The copolymers may be random or block copolymers.

[0093] Polyolefin resins are classified into polyethylene resins and polypropylene resins depending on the skeleton of the monomer used in the synthesis of the polyolefin, and may be copolymers. In the present invention, the term "polyolefin resin" is used as a general term for various types of polyethylene, and polyethylene resins are also used as a general term for various types of polyethylene. Polyolefins produced by polymerizing α-olefins such as ethylene, propene, 1-butene, 1,3-butadiene, and 1-hexene as raw materials are called polyethylene-based resins, polypropylene-based resins, polybutylene-based resins, polybutadiene-based resins, and polyhexene-based resins, respectively.

[0095] <Method for forming sealant layer> The method for forming the sealant layer is not particularly limited, and any conventionally known method for laminating sealant layers can be applied. A sealant film consisting of one or more layers for the sealant layer may be prepared in advance, and the sealant film may be bonded to other layers constituting the laminate via an adhesive or the like. The sealant film may be prepared by melt-extruding one or more resin compositions and forming a film by an inflation method, or by extrusion using a T-die or the like, by melt-extruding onto a roll and constricting the extrusion to form a film. stomach. Here, it is preferable to subject one side of the produced sealant film to a corona treatment, and then to adhere and laminate the film with the corona-treated side facing the side to be laminated. Alternatively, the resin composition for forming the sealant layer may be melted, melt (co)extruded, and poured onto the layer to be laminated, and a sealant layer consisting of one or more layers may be laminated onto the other layers that make up the laminate by an extrusion method using a T-die molding method using a feed block method or a multi-manifold method. In either method, a multi-layer sealant film can be produced by co-melt extrusion using resin compositions of the same or different compositions.

[0096] <General-purpose adhesive layer> A general-purpose adhesive layer or anchor coat layer may be included between each layer constituting the oxygen-absorbing laminate for a microwave-safe packaging container. For example, a sealant film for the sealant layer can be adhered via a general-purpose adhesive layer or anchor coat layer to form the sealant layer. The general-purpose adhesive layer may be, for example, a layer (extruded resin layer) formed by a (co)extrusion lamination method in which an adhesive resin composition is melt-extruded, a T-die (co)extrusion method, or the like, or may be a layer (dry laminate layer) formed by dry lamination using a dry laminate adhesive. Examples of resins that can be contained in the adhesive resin composition include polyolefin resins, acid-modified polyolefin resins obtained by acid-modifying polyolefin resins by graft polymerization or copolymerization with unsaturated carboxylic acids or anhydrides such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid, maleic anhydride, fumaric acid, and itaconic acid, polyvinyl acetate resins, poly(meth)acrylic resins, polyvinyl chloride resins, and other resins. These resins can be used alone or in combination.

[0097] Specific examples of polyolefin resins include polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, medium-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, ethylene-α-olefin copolymers polymerized using a metallocene catalyst, polypropylene resins, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers, ionomer resins, ethylene-acrylic acid copolymers, ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymers, ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymers, ethylene-methyl methacrylate copolymers, ethylene-propylene copolymers, methylpentene (co)polymers, butene (co)polymers, polyisoprene, ethylene-acrylic acid copolymers, ethylene-methacrylic acid copolymers, and cyclic olefin (co)polymers such as polynorbornene. The copolymers may be random or block copolymers. Polyolefin resins are classified into polyethylene resins and polypropylene resins depending on the skeleton of the monomer used in the synthesis of the polyolefin, and may be copolymers. In the present invention, the term "polyolefin resin" is used as a general term for various types of polyethylene, and polyethylene resins are also used as a general term for various types of polyethylene. Polyolefins produced by polymerizing α-olefins such as ethylene, propene, 1-butene, 1,3-butadiene, and 1-hexene as raw materials are called polyethylene-based resins, polypropylene-based resins, polybutylene-based resins, polybutadiene-based resins, and polyhexene-based resins, respectively.

[0098] The general-purpose adhesive layer may contain additives such as antioxidants, ultraviolet absorbers, light stabilizers, antistatic agents, antiblocking agents, flame retardants, crosslinking agents, and colorants, as long as the additives do not impair the properties of the present invention. The thickness of the general-purpose adhesive layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 g / m 2 More than 20g / m 2 The thickness of the extruded resin layer is preferably 1 μm or less, or 1 μm or more and 20 μm or less.

[0099] The anchor coat layer is a layer formed by applying and drying an anchor coat agent, and can improve the adhesion between adjacent layers. The anchor coating agent may be any resin having a heat resistance temperature of 135° C. or higher, such as a vinyl-modified resin, an epoxy resin, a urethane resin, a polyester resin, or polyethyleneimine. Among the above, particularly preferred is a curable anchor coating agent that contains a polyacrylic or polymethacrylic resin (polyol) having two or more hydroxyl groups in one molecule as the base agent and an isocyanate compound as the curing agent. A silane coupling agent may also be used in combination, and nitrocellulose may also be used in combination to improve heat resistance. The thickness of the anchor coat layer is not particularly limited, but is preferably, for example, 0.05 μm or more and 1 μm or less.

[0100] <Functional Layer> Examples of the functional layer include an auxiliary barrier layer, a fragrance-retaining layer, a light-shielding layer, and a reinforcing layer.

[0101] [Auxiliary barrier layer] The auxiliary barrier layer is a layer made of a resin that enhances oxygen gas resistance and provides barrier properties against water vapor and the like.

[0103] [Fragrance layer] The aroma-retaining layer is a layer that has low absorption of perfume components contained in the contents to be filled and packaged, has excellent aroma-retaining properties, and further has the property of not causing any strange taste or unpleasant odor.

[0104] [Light blocking layer] The light-shielding layer is made of a light-shielding material and prevents ultraviolet light and / or visible light from reaching the contents, thereby preventing the contents from being altered by light.

[0107] <Method for producing oxygen-absorbing laminate for microwave-safe packaging containers> A method for producing an oxygen absorbing laminate for a microwave-safe packaging container using the above-mentioned materials will be described. The production method shown below is an example and does not limit the present invention. The lamination of each layer constituting the oxygen-absorbing laminate for a microwave-safe packaging container can be carried out by any lamination method used in the production of ordinary packaging materials, such as wet lamination, dry lamination, solventless dry lamination, extrusion lamination, T-die coextrusion molding, coextrusion lamination, inflation molding, and the like. The oxygen-absorbing laminate for a microwave-safe packaging container of the present invention can also be subjected to secondary processing in order to impart surface functions such as chemical functions, electrical functions, magnetic functions, mechanical functions, friction / wear / lubrication functions, optical functions, thermal functions, and biocompatibility. Examples of secondary processing include embossing, painting, adhesive, printing, metallizing (plating, etc.), machining, surface treatment (antistatic treatment, corona discharge treatment, plasma treatment, photochromism treatment, physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, coating, etc.), etc. The laminate of the present invention can also be subjected to lamination (dry lamination or extrusion lamination), bag making, and other post-processing.

[0108] If necessary, the surface of each layer may be pretreated, for example, by corona treatment or ozone treatment, during lamination. Furthermore, anchor coating agents such as isocyanate (urethane), polyethyleneimine, polybutadiene, and organic titanium anchor coating agents, as well as polyurethane, polyacrylic, polyester, epoxy, polyvinyl acetate, cellulose, and other laminating adhesives, may be used.

[0109] As long as the substrate layer, inorganic oxygen barrier layer, oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer, shielding resin layer, and sealant layer are laminated in this order, the order in which each layer is formed and laminated may be arbitrary. For example, an example will be described in which an oxygen-absorbing laminate for a microwave-safe packaging container is produced, having a layer structure of substrate layer / inorganic oxygen barrier layer / oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer / shielding resin layer / sealant layer. For example, first, an oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition is applied to the inorganic vapor deposition surface of a resin film with a one-sided inorganic vapor deposition layer, which is a film having a base layer and an inorganic oxygen barrier layer, and dried to form an oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer, and then a resin film for the shielding resin layer is adhered and laminated. Next, a general-purpose adhesive for dry lamination is applied to the surface of the shielding resin layer, dried, and a sealant film for the sealant layer is adhered and laminated. Then, an aging treatment is performed as necessary. In this manner, an oxygen-absorbing laminate for a microwave-safe packaging container can be obtained.

[0110] <<Oxygen-absorbing packaging material for microwave-safe packaging containers>> The oxygen-absorbing packaging material for a microwave-safe packaging container is a packaging material produced from the oxygen-absorbing laminate for a microwave-safe packaging container of the present invention. The oxygen-absorbing packaging material for a microwave-safe packaging container may have the same layer structure as the oxygen-absorbing laminate for a microwave-safe packaging container, and may further include layers having various functions, as necessary.

[0111] <<Microwave-safe oxygen-absorbing packaging container>> The microwave-safe oxygen-absorbing packaging container is a microwave-safe packaging container made from the oxygen-absorbing packaging material for microwave-safe packaging containers of the present invention. Specific examples of microwave-compatible oxygen-absorbing packaging containers include microwave-compatible oxygen-absorbing pouches, microwave-compatible oxygen-absorbing containers consisting of a microwave-compatible oxygen-absorbing lid part and a microwave-compatible oxygen-absorbing bottom part, molded containers, squeeze containers for ham, etc. In addition, added value can be added by various shape designs and printed decorations. In addition, oxygen-absorbing packaging containers made using conventional iron powder-based oxygen-absorbing films are darkly colored, making it impossible to visually check the contents, making it impossible to inspect the contents using a metal detector or the like, making it impossible to heat in a microwave oven, and raising concerns about rust due to moisture.In contrast, the microwave-compatible oxygen-absorbing packaging container of the present invention does not contain an iron powder-based oxygen absorber, so the pouch is colorless and / or transparent, the contents can be visually checked, the contents can be inspected using a metal detector or the like, and it can be heated in a microwave oven, and there is no concern about rust due to moisture.

[0112] Microwave-safe oxygen-absorbing pouch The microwave-safe oxygen-absorbing pouch is one embodiment of the microwave-safe oxygen-absorbing packaging container of the present invention, and has a bag-like shape. It may be a packaging bag of various shapes. In addition, added value can be added by various shape designs and printed decorations. Pouches can be made using less material than bottles, making them effective in saving resources. Specific examples of the shape of the microwave-safe oxygen-absorbing pouch include a basic flat pouch, a gusset-type pouch with a square-shaped bottom that can stand on its own, a refill pouch, a pouch for liquid sachets, a pouch for bag-in-box use, a pouch for infusion bags, and a stick pouch. Examples include a packaging pouch, a pouch with a spout in the center or at the top corner of the bag, and the like. A zipper or spout can be attached to make it easier to put contents in and take them out, and to store them, but it is preferable that it has a steam mechanism (46) as shown in Figure 4. The flat pouch is a pouch having a flat shape, in which the peripheral portion of the wall film (11a, 11b) is a sealed portion (12), as shown in Fig. 2. It may have one or two notches (13a, 13b).

[0113] [How to make a microwave-safe oxygen-absorbing pouch] Microwave-compatible oxygen-absorbing pouches can be made into various shapes, for example, by folding an oxygen-absorbing packaging material for microwave-compatible packaging containers in half, stacking it to encase the contents, or stacking two sheets of oxygen-absorbing packaging material for microwave-compatible packaging containers with the sealant layer surfaces facing each other, and then heat-sealing the peripheral edges in various ways. Examples of heat seal types include side seal type, two-sided seal type, three-sided seal type, four-sided seal type, envelope seal type, palm seal type (pillow seal type), pleated seal type, flat bottom seal type, square bottom seal type, and gusset type. Examples of heat sealing methods include bar sealing, rotary roll sealing, belt sealing, impulse sealing, high frequency sealing, ultrasonic sealing, and flame sealing. The microwave-safe oxygen-absorbing pouch is sealed by heat sealing, so that it has airtightness suitable for heating treatment using a microwave oven.

[0114] <Microwave-compatible oxygen-absorbing packaging container comprising a microwave-compatible lid part and a microwave-compatible bottom part> The microwave-safe oxygen-absorbing packaging container of the present invention may be, for example, a microwave-safe packaging container made by combining a microwave-safe oxygen-absorbing lid part and a microwave-safe oxygen-absorbing bottom part having a recess, as shown in Figure 3. Hereinafter, the oxygen-absorbing retort packaging container will be abbreviated as the container, the oxygen-absorbing retort lid part will be abbreviated as the lid part, and the oxygen-absorbing retort bottom part will be abbreviated as the bottom part. In a container consisting of a lid part, a bottom part, etc., the sealant layers of the lid part and the bottom part are heat-sealed together at the fringe portions so as to face each other.

[0115] The contents can be placed in the recess within the container before the lid and bottom components are heat-sealed together, and after the contents are placed in the recess, the flange of the bottom component and the film-like lid component are bonded together by heat sealing or adhesive, providing an airtight seal to protect the contents. The contents can then be removed by peeling off the lid component.

[0116] [Microwave-safe oxygen-absorbing lid parts] The oxygen-absorbing microwave-safe closure part of the present invention is a closure part for a microwave-safe packaging container made from the oxygen-absorbing packaging material for a microwave-safe packaging container of the present invention. In addition, added value can be added by various shape designs and printing decorations. The lid part is in the form of a film, and the oxygen-absorbing packaging material for the lid part of the present invention may have a shape that is approximately identical to the outer periphery of the heat-sealed portion of the bottom part to be combined with it, a shape that is slightly larger than the outer periphery, or a shape that partially protrudes from the outer periphery.

[0117] [Microwave-safe oxygen-absorbing base part] The oxygen-absorbing base part of the present invention is a base part made from the oxygen-absorbing packaging material for a microwave-safe packaging container of the present invention. In addition, added value can be added by various shape designs and printing decorations. The bottom part may be, for example, in the form of a tray having a recess for accommodating the contents and a flange for being heat-sealed to the lid part.

[0118] <<Method for producing a microwave-safe, oxygen-absorbing packaging container comprising a lid component and a bottom component>> The microwave-safe, oxygen-absorbing packaging container of the present invention, which comprises a lid part and a bottom part, can be produced, for example, by the following production method. The following examples are merely examples of methods for producing a microwave-safe oxygen-absorbing packaging container, and the present invention is not limited thereto. To manufacture the container shown in FIG. 3, first, a tray-shaped bottom part shown in FIG. 3 is prepared. Then, the lid part is placed on the bottom part with the sealant layer facing the bottom part, and the area where it overlaps with the flange of the bottom part is heat-sealed.

[0119] Here, when placing the lid part on the bottom part, one lid part may be placed on one bottom part and heat-sealed, or one lid part may be placed on two or more bottom parts and heat-sealed. Furthermore, the two or more bottom parts may be cut separately or connected. In the above, the heat sealing can be carried out by a known method such as bar sealing, rotary roll sealing, belt sealing, impulse sealing, high frequency sealing, ultrasonic sealing, or flame sealing.

[0120] When one lid part is placed on one bottom part, the lid part may be shaped to match the outer periphery of the flange portion of the bottom part, or slightly larger than the outer periphery, or may partially protrude beyond the outer periphery. Furthermore, when one lid part is placed on two or more bottom parts, the lid part may be cut into a shape that matches the outer periphery of the flange portion of the bottom part, a shape that is slightly larger than the outer periphery, or a shape that partially protrudes beyond the outer periphery. Then, for each individual container, the lid part is cut into a shape that matches the flange portion of the bottom part and the outer periphery of the lid part. When contents are to be placed in the container, it is preferable to place the contents in the recess of the bottom part before the heat sealing and then perform the sheet sealing.
