Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a reactive adhesive, and a laminate and a package using the adhesive, and more particularly to a reactive adhesive useful as a packaging material for foods, medicines, cosmetics, etc., and a laminate and a package using the adhesive. [Background technology]
[0002] Laminates formed by laminating various plastic films together or a plastic film with a metallized film or metal foil via an adhesive layer are used as flexible packaging materials for packaging contents such as food, medicines, and cosmetics. Two-component curing reactive adhesives that utilize a urethane reaction between the hydroxyl groups of a polyol and the isocyanate groups of a polyisocyanate are widely used as adhesives for forming the adhesive layer. However, in recent years, the use of plastic films with low surface treatment levels has increased in order to reduce costs, and further improvements in the adhesive strength of adhesives are required. For example, adhesives using polyester polyols are known as adhesives with excellent adhesive strength. However, because polyester polyols have high affinity with diluting solvents and poor solvent releasability, when polyester polyols are used as the main component resin, problems such as poor appearance and residual solvent are likely to occur when high-speed coating is performed, for example, at 200 m / min or more. To address the above problems, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2 describe that adhesives using polyether urethane polyols suppress the degree of viscosity increase and are excellent in coatability and residual solvent.

[0004] However, adhesives using polyether urethane polyols have the problem that their adhesive strength with metal-deposited films or metal foils, as well as their adhesive strength when coated onto a printing ink layer containing nitrocellulose resin (nitrocellulose nitrate) as a binder component, is significantly reduced. Furthermore, in recent years, there has been growing interest in the hygiene aspects of food ingredients, particularly in Europe, and efforts are being made to reduce the use of additives such as silane coupling agents, which have been used to improve metal adhesion and heat resistance. However, at present, it is difficult to obtain an adhesive that has excellent coatability and residual solvent during high-speed coating, and that also has excellent adhesive strength and metal adhesion when coated onto a printing ink layer containing a nitrocellulose resin as a binder component, even without using a silane coupling agent. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a reactive adhesive that has excellent adhesive strength with metal-deposited films or metal foils even without the use of a silane coupling agent, and that has excellent adhesive strength when used with printing inks containing nitrocellulose resin as a binder component, and that does not cause coating unevenness during high-speed coating and has little residual solvent.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0015] <Reactive adhesive> The reactive adhesive of the present invention comprises a polyisocyanate compound and a polyol compound, the polyisocyanate compound comprising a polyurethane polyisocyanate (A) which is a reaction product of an aromatic polyisocyanate (a1) and a polyol (a2) having an ether bond, and the polyol compound comprising a polyester polyol (B) having an acid value in the range of 10 to 50 mgKOH / g. The reactive adhesive of the present invention also has a peak area ratio V of 0.90≦V≦1.10 when measured by an ATR-FTIR method for a cured product of the reactive adhesive. In laminates such as packaging materials, the nitrocellulose and additives contained in the ink layer can permeate (hereinafter referred to as migration) from the ink layer into the adhesive layer and remain at the interface between the adhesive layer and the substrate, resulting in a decrease in adhesive strength over time. Furthermore, polyether skeletons are prone to migration. However, by combining a polyester polyol (B) having an acid value in the range of 10 to 50 mgKOH / g with a polyurethane polyisocyanate (A) which is a reaction product of an aromatic polyisocyanate (a1) and a polyol (a2) having an ether bond, the adhesive contains both ester bonds and ether bonds, and the characteristics of both can be exhibited. Furthermore, the peak area v1 is derived from ether bonds, the peak area v2 is derived from ester bonds, and the peak area ratio V refers to the ratio of ester bonds to ether bonds. In other words, by controlling the peak area ratio V within a certain range, it is possible to control the voids in the three-dimensional network structure in the cured product of the reactive adhesive, and even without using a silane coupling agent, the adhesive has excellent adhesion to metal-deposited films or metal foils and nitrocellulose resin-based printing inks, and can suppress coating unevenness and residual solvent in high-speed coating. Specifically, the polyester bonds in the hard segments densify the three-dimensional network structure, thereby demonstrating high adhesive performance. Meanwhile, the polyether bonds in the soft segments allow for the introduction of appropriate gaps into the three-dimensional network structure, thereby achieving not only excellent high-speed coatability due to low viscosity but also excellent solvent desorption. Furthermore, by controlling the peak area ratio V within the range of 0.90≦V≦1.10, a three-dimensional network structure in which high-density and low-density network structures are distributed over a certain range can be formed. As a result, the polymer maintains high adhesive strength, excels in high-speed coatability, and reduces residual solvent.
[0016] To achieve excellent adhesive strength over time, laminate appearance during high-speed coating, and reduced residual solvent, it is important that V be 0.90≦V≦1.10. If V is less than 0.90, the amount of residual solvent in the laminate increases, resulting in poor appearance. If V exceeds 1.10, adhesive strength over time decreases. From the viewpoint of the balance between adhesive performance and coating performance, a more preferable range is 0.92≦V≦1.00.
[0017] The peak area ratio V is given by <1> ~ <3> It can be obtained by the following procedure. <1> Solids application rate of 2.5 g / m on aluminum substrate 2 After the solvent is evaporated, the film is laminated to the untreated surface of a non-oriented polypropylene film and cured at 40°C and 60% RH for 3 days. <2> The unstretched polypropylene film was peeled off, and the exposed reactive adhesive cured product was measured at a location 1 to 2 μm from the surface toward the substrate using the ATR-FTIR method at a wave number of 1075 cm -1 ~1150cm -1 The absorbance peak area v1 at the wavenumber 1715 cm -1 ~1750cm -1 The absorbance peak area v2 at <3> The peak area ratio V is calculated from v1 and v2 using the following formula (1). Peak area ratio V = peak area v1 / peak area v2 (1)
[0018] An aluminum substrate and an untreated surface of an unstretched polypropylene film are bonded together via a reactive adhesive, the reactive adhesive is cured, and then the unstretched polypropylene film is peeled off, resulting in peeling between the cured layer of the reactive adhesive and the unstretched polypropylene film, and a test piece comprising the cured reactive adhesive on the aluminum substrate can be obtained.
[0019] In addition, in the case of a laminate having an adhesive layer, which is a cured product of a reactive adhesive, between a first substrate and a second substrate, the peak area ratio V of the adhesive layer is <4> ~ <5> It can be obtained by the following procedure. <4> The first substrate and the second substrate are peeled off, and a portion of the exposed cured reactive adhesive 1 to 2 μm from the surface toward the substrate is analyzed by ATR-FTIR at a wave number of 1075 cm -1 ~1150cm -1 The absorbance peak area v1 at the wavenumber 1715 cm -1 ~1750cm -1 The absorbance peak area v2 at <5> The peak area ratio V is calculated from v1 and v2 using the following formula (1). Peak area ratio V = peak area v1 / peak area v2 (1)
[0020] In addition, the ATR-FTIR method can obtain an infrared absorption spectrum of the surface of a sample by placing the sample in contact with a prism with a high refractive index, such as diamond. From the absorbance of the obtained absorption spectrum, the peak areas v1 and v2 can be calculated. The method for measuring absorbance by the ATR-FTIR method is, for example, to measure absorbance in the wavenumber range of 400 to 4000 cm at a position 1 to 2 μm from the surface of the cured product toward the substrate using an ATR-FT-IR ALPHA device manufactured by BRUKER. -1 , resolution 4cm -1 Measurement can be performed under the condition of 16 scans. Then, from the obtained infrared absorption spectrum, the peak area tool was used to find the peak at wavenumber 1075 cm -1 ~1150cm -1 The peak area v1 of the absorbance due to the ether bond, which has an absorption maximum in the region of 1715 cm -1 ~1750cm -1 The peak area v2 of the absorbance derived from the ester bond having an absorption maximum in the region of
[0049] can be calculated. The baseline was set as a line connecting the bottoms of both ends of the absorption curve where a peak exists or the valley between other absorption curves. Next, the peak area ratio V was calculated by the above formula (1), where V was the average value of six arbitrary points calculated from the same sample.

[0040] [Polyester polyol (B) having an acid value of 10 to 50 mgKOH / g] The polyester polyol (B) may be selected from known polyester polyols as long as it has two or more hydroxyl groups and two or more ester bonds in the molecule and has an acid value in the range of 10 to 50 mgKOH / g.

An acid value of 50 mgKOH / g or less provides excellent suitability for high-speed coating. The acid value of the polyester polyol (B) is preferably 20 to 50 mgKOH / g, more preferably 20 to 30 mgKOH / g.

The polyhydric alcohol may contain 30 to 70 mol % of 1,4-butanediol based on 100 mol of the total polyhydric alcohol.

[0046] The weight-average molecular weight of the polyester polyol (B) is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1,000 to 5,000, and more preferably 1,000 to 3,000. When the polyester polyol (B) contains a plurality of polyester polyols in order to satisfy various physical properties required for the packaging material, the weight-average molecular weight of the polyester polyol (B) can be determined from the weight-average molecular weight of each polyester polyol and the mass ratio thereof.
[0047] [Other polyols] The polyol compound of the present invention may contain other polyols other than the polyester polyol (B) having an acid value of 10 to 50 mgKOH / g, as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired.

As described in the section on polyester polyol (B), some of the hydroxyl groups in the polyol may be reacted with diisocyanate to introduce urethane bonds, or with acid anhydride to introduce carboxyl groups. These other polyols may be used singly or in combination of two or more.
[0048] <Solvent> The reactive adhesive of the present invention can be used as either a solvent-based or solventless type, and can contain a solvent as needed. In this specification, the term "solvent" refers to an organic solvent that has high solubility and can dissolve the polyol compound and polyisocyanate compound of the present invention. Examples of the highly soluble organic solvent include toluene, xylene, methylene chloride, tetrahydrofuran, methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, n-butyl acetate, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, toluene, xylol, n-hexane, and cyclohexane. The organic solvent is more preferably one that is inactive to the polyisocyanate compound, and for example, esters such as ethyl acetate; ketones such as methyl ethyl ketone; and aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and xylene are preferably used.
[0049] The viscosity of the adhesive of the present invention is preferably 100 to 10,000 mPa·s, more preferably 100 to 5,000 mPa·s, at room temperature to 150° C., and even more preferably 100 to 10,000 mPa·s, more preferably 100 to 5,000 mPa·s, at room temperature to 100° C.

[0087] (Synthesis Example 16) Polyurethane polyol (D2) A reaction vessel was charged with 160 parts of a difunctional polypropylene glycol with a number-average molecular weight of approximately 2,000, 240 parts of a difunctional polypropylene glycol with a number-average molecular weight of approximately 400, 4 parts of trifunctional trimethylolpropane, and 23 parts of toluene diisocyanate. The urethane reaction was carried out by heating at 80-90°C for 3-5 hours while stirring under a nitrogen gas stream. After the reaction was complete, the mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate to a nonvolatile content of 75% to obtain a solution of polyurethane polyol (D2), a polyether urethane polyol. The viscosity of the (D2) solution at 25°C was 6,800 mPa·s, and the weight-average molecular weight of (D2) was 15,000.
[0088] <Production of reactive adhesives> The polyurethane polyisocyanate solution, polyester polyol solution, and other components were mixed and stirred in the formulations shown in Tables 1 and 2 to produce reactive adhesives.
[0089] <Evaluation of reactive adhesives> The resulting adhesive was used to determine the peak area ratio V of the cured film.
[0090] [Area ratio V of cured product measured by ATR-FTIR] The resulting reactive adhesive was applied to aluminum foil (Toyo Aluminum, thickness 7 μm) using a laminator at a coating speed of 50 m / min. The solvent was evaporated in a drying oven (70°C-80°C-80°C triple oven, furnace length 2.0 m), and then the film was laminated to the untreated side of a CPP film (Toray ZK207, thickness 70 μm). The solids application amount of the adhesive was 2.5 g / m. 2 It was decided. The CPP film was peeled off from the resulting laminate to obtain a test piece comprising a cured product of the reactive adhesive on an aluminum substrate. The absorbance of the resulting test piece was measured by the ATR-FTIR method using an ATR-FTIR ATR-FTIR instrument manufactured by BRUKER. The measurement was performed at a position 1 to 2 μm from the surface of the cured product toward the substrate, in the wavenumber range of 400 to 4000 cm. -1 , resolution 4cm -1 The scan was performed 16 times. From the obtained infrared absorption spectrum, the peak area tool was used to find the peak at wavenumber 1075 cm -1 ~1150cm -1 The peak area v1 of the absorbance due to the ether bond, which has an absorption maximum in the region of 1715 cm -1 ~1750cm -1 The peak area v2 of absorbance derived from ester bonds having an absorption maximum in the region was determined. The baseline was taken as the line connecting the bases at both ends of the absorption curve where a peak exists or the valley between two absorption curves. Next, the peak area ratio V was calculated using the above formula (1). V was the average value of six arbitrary points calculated from the same sample.
