Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an ethylene-based resin composition, a laminate, and a packaging film. More specifically, the present invention relates to an ethylene-based resin composition, a laminate, and a packaging film using the same, which have excellent heat-sealing properties and heat resistance and allow contents to be filled at high speed over a wide sealing temperature range from low to high. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, packaging films obtained by laminating a base layer, an intermediate layer, and a sealant layer have been used to package liquids, viscous substances, and liquids, viscous substances, etc. containing solid insoluble substances such as fibers and powders. The packaging film is filled with the liquid, viscous substance, etc. and heat-sealed to provide a packaging bag. Therefore, the packaging film is required to have heat-sealing properties and heat resistance appropriate for the contents to be packaged.
[0003] In terms of heat resistance, it is generally known that polyolefins with high melting points are superior to those with low melting points. For example, in the case of polyethylene, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) is superior to low-density polyethylene (LDPE) in this respect. However, packaging films made of high-melting-point polyolefins have poor heat seal strength and low-temperature heat sealability due to their high melting points, and therefore, when it comes to the demand for faster automatic filling and packaging of liquids, viscous materials, etc., the amount of heat supplied to the sealant layer is insufficient, making it difficult to reliably perform proper heat sealing.
[0004] On the other hand, packaging films using a low-melting-point polyolefin for the sealant layer can obtain heat resistance and rigidity by increasing the thickness of the sealant layer. However, if the thickness of the sealant layer is increased, it becomes difficult to achieve proper heat sealing with a small amount of heat supplied, and the sealant layer cannot be used for high-speed automatic filling and packaging.
[0005] Many attempts have been made to solve this problem; for example, an invention has been disclosed that uses a polyethylene resin composition that satisfies specific physical properties and is made of a copolymer of ethylene and an α-olefin having 3 to 20 carbon atoms and high-pressure low-density polyethylene (see Patent Documents 1 and 2). However, in all of these attempts, the sealing temperature range in which filling is possible is narrow.
[0006] In addition, an invention has been disclosed (see Patent Document 3) that consists of a laminate having three layers: a sealant layer, an intermediate layer, and a substrate layer, and the sealant layer and the intermediate layer each use a polyethylene resin composition that satisfies specific MFR, density, and temperature-rising elution fractionation (TREF) properties; however, the low-temperature sealing property is poor.
[0007] Furthermore, an invention has been disclosed (see Patent Document 4) that uses a resin composition for extrusion lamination that satisfies specific differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) characteristics and temperature-rising elution fractionation (TREF) characteristics, but there are no specifications regarding low-crystalline components with low elution temperatures, making it difficult to control sealing in low-temperature ranges and foaming after sealing.

Compounds in which hafnium is substituted for zirconium in the above examples can also be used. In some cases, a mixture of a zirconium compound and a hafnium compound can also be used. The metallocene compound may be used by supporting it on an inorganic or organic carrier, preferably a porous oxide of an inorganic or organic compound, such as an ion-exchange layered silicate, SiO2, Al2O3, MgO, ZrO2, TiO2, BO3, CaO, ZnO, BaO, ThO2, or a mixture thereof.

A preferred production method is high-pressure bulk polymerization.
[0033] The ethylene-α-olefin copolymer can be selected from commercially available products, such as "Affinity" manufactured by DuPont Dow, and "Kernel" and "Harmolex" manufactured by Japan Polyethylene Corporation.
[0034] Next, the properties (B-1) and (B-2) of the ethylene-based resin (B) will be described in detail.
[0035] (B-1) Melt flow rate (MFR) The melt flow rate (MFR: 190°C, 21.18N load) of the ethylene resin (B) used in the present invention is 1 to 18g / 10min, preferably 2 to 15g / 10min, more preferably 2 to 12g / 10min. When the MFR is in the above range, excellent extrusion processability, hot tackiness, and resistance to foaming during high-temperature sealing are achieved. Here, MFR is a value measured in accordance with JIS-K6922-2:1997 Appendix (190°C, 21.18N load).
[0036] (B-2) Density The density of the ethylene-based resin (B) used in the present invention is 0.910 to 0.940 g / cm 3and preferably 0.916 to 0.938 g / cm 3 , more preferably 0.924 to 0.936 g / cm 3 When the density is within the above range, an excellent balance of rigidity, heat resistance, and heat sealability is achieved. Here, the density is measured in accordance with JIS-K6922-2:1997 Appendix (for low-density polyethylene) (measurement temperature: 23°C).
[0037] The ethylene-α-olefin copolymer used in the ethylene-based resin (B) may be one type alone or two or more types may be used. For example, by using two or more types of ethylene-α-olefin copolymers with different MFRs or densities in combination, the physical properties of the ethylene-based resin (B) and the ethylene-based resin composition (A) can be controlled within desired ranges. In particular, since ethylene-α-olefin copolymers produced using a metallocene catalyst have a narrow crystallinity distribution, the TREF physical properties described below can be easily controlled within desired ranges by blending various ethylene-α-olefin copolymers. Ethylene-α-olefin copolymers can also be produced using so-called Ziegler catalysts containing titanium and halogens. When ethylene-α-olefin copolymers with different physical properties are used in combination, the copolymers may be blended together or multi-stage polymerization may be used. Furthermore, a metallocene catalyst and a Ziegler catalyst can also be used in combination.

Among these, (meth)acrylic acid ester compounds such as methyl acrylate, ethyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, and ethyl methacrylate are preferably used. The comonomer may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds.
[0040] The ethylene resin (C) can be produced by a known high-pressure radical polymerization method using an autoclave reactor or a tubular reactor.

When the MFR is in the above range, pressure resistance and extrusion processability become good. Here, MFR is a value measured in accordance with JIS-K6922-2:1997 Appendix (190°C, 21.18N load).

Here, the melting point refers to the maximum peak temperature among the melting peaks in the melting curve measured by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC).
[0044] The ethylene-based resin (C) may be used singly or in combination of two or more. For example, by using two or more ethylene-based resins having different MFRs or densities in combination, the physical properties of the ethylene-based resin (C) and the ethylene-based resin composition (A) can be controlled within desired ranges. The content of the ethylene resin (C) in the ethylene resin composition (A) of the present invention is preferably 5 to 40% by weight, more preferably 5 to 25% by weight. The content of the ethylene resin (C) is preferably at least the lower limit from the viewpoint of the balance between heat resistance and pressure resistance, and is preferably at most the upper limit from the viewpoint of processability.
[0045] 1-3. High-pressure low-density polyethylene (D) The ethylene-based resin composition (A) of the present invention preferably contains a high-pressure low-density polyethylene (D) that simultaneously satisfies the properties (D-1) and (D-2) described below. The high-pressure low-density polyethylene can be obtained by high-pressure radical polymerization and is also called high-pressure radical polymerization low-density polyethylene. High-pressure low-density polyethylene has high melt elasticity and is often used to improve necking, particularly during extrusion lamination.

[0047] (D-2) Density The density of the high-pressure low-density polyethylene (D) used in the present invention is 0.915 to 0.930 g / cm 3 and preferably 0.915 to 0.925 g / cm 3 By having the density within the above range, the balance between neck-in during processing and extensibility is improved.

When the MFR is in the above range, excellent extrusion processability, hot tackiness, and resistance to foaming during high-temperature sealing are achieved. Here, MFR is a value measured in accordance with JIS-K6922-2:1997 Appendix (190°C, 21.18N load).
[0051] (A-2) Density The density of the ethylene-based resin composition (A) used in the present invention is 0.915 to 0.940 g / cm 3 and preferably 0.920 to 0.938 g / cm 3 , more preferably 0.925 to 0.935 g / cm 3 When the density is within the above range, the heat sealability, heat resistance and pressure resistance are well balanced, and the rigidity is good. Here, the density is measured in accordance with JIS-K6922-2:1997 Appendix (for low-density polyethylene) (measurement temperature: 23°C).
[0052] (A-3) Temperature Rising Elution Fractionation (TREF) The ethylene-based resin composition (A) used in the present invention has a specific crystallinity distribution and satisfies the following properties.
[0053] In an elution curve obtained by TREF using orthodichlorobenzene as a solvent, the ethylene resin composition (A) has (i) at least one peak at an elution temperature of 85°C or less and at least one peak at an elution temperature of 85°C or more, (ii) the proportion of eluates ((a1) + (a2) + (a3)) at an elution temperature of 85°C or less is 45 to 90% by weight, and (iii) the proportion of eluates (a4) at an elution temperature of 85°C or more is 10 to 55% by weight (provided that the sum of (a1), (a2), (a3), and (a4) is 100% by weight). Here, (a1), (a2), and (a3) represent (a1) an eluate having an elution temperature of 55°C or less, (a2) an eluate having an elution temperature of 55°C to 70°C, and (a3) an eluate having an elution temperature of 70°C to 85°C, as described below.
[0054] The elution curve of the ethylene resin composition (A) has at least one peak at or below 85° C. The temperature range at which the maximum peak exists among the peaks at or below 85° C. is preferably 30° C. to 80° C. The number of peaks existing in the above range may be one or two or more.
[0055] The elution curve has at least one peak at or above 85° C. The upper limit of the temperature at which the maximum peak exists among the peaks at or above 85° C. is preferably 100° C. or lower, more preferably 95° C. or lower. The number of peaks existing within the above range may be one or two or more.
[0056] The proportion of the eluates ((a1)+(a2)+(a3)) having an elution temperature of 85°C or less is 45 to 90% by weight, preferably 45 to 65% by weight, based on 100% by weight of the entire ethylene-based resin composition (A). The eluates ((a1)+(a2)+(a3)) at 85°C or less are low-crystalline components and components in the intermediate range between low and high crystallinity. By ensuring that the content of ((a1)+(a2)+(a3)) is within the above range, excellent extrusion lamination processability is achieved. Furthermore, the crystallization rate during heat sealing is slowed and fluidity is improved, making the intermediate layer more easily crushed and improving low-temperature sealing properties.
[0057] The proportion of the eluate (a4) having an elution temperature of 85°C or higher is 10 to 55% by weight, preferably 35 to 55% by weight, based on 100% by weight of the entire ethylene-based resin composition (A). The eluate (a4) having an elution temperature of 85°C or higher is a component in the highly crystalline region, and by having the content of (a4) in the above range, excellent rigidity and heat resistance are achieved. In addition, the crystallization rate during heat sealing is increased, resulting in excellent seal appearance.
[0058] In an elution curve obtained by TREF using orthodichlorobenzene as a solvent, the ethylene resin composition (A) preferably has (iv) at least one peak at an elution temperature of 55°C or less and at 55 to 85°C, (v) 5 to 30% by weight of eluate (a1) having an elution temperature of 55°C or less, (vi) 1 to 30% by weight of eluate (a2) having an elution temperature of 55 to 70°C or less, and (vii) 20 to 55% by weight of eluate (a3) having an elution temperature of 70 to 85°C or less (provided that the total of (a1), (a2), (a3), and (a4) is 100% by weight).
[0059] The elution curve of the ethylene-based resin composition (A) preferably has at least one peak at 55° C. or lower. Of the peaks at 55° C. or lower, the lower limit of the temperature at which the maximum peak exists is preferably 30° C. or higher. The number of peaks existing within the above range may be one or two or more.
[0060] The elution curve preferably has at least one peak between 55° C. and 85° C. The upper limit of the temperature at which the maximum peak exists among the peaks between 55° C. and 85° C. is preferably 80° C. or lower, and the lower limit of the temperature at which the maximum peak exists is preferably 70° C. or higher. The number of peaks present in the above range may be one or two or more.
[0061] The proportion of the elutable substance (a1) having an elution temperature of 55°C or less is preferably 5 to 30% by weight, more preferably 7 to 25% by weight, based on 100% by weight of the entire ethylene-based resin composition (A). The elutable substance (a1) having an elution temperature of 55°C or less is a component in the low crystalline region, and the influence of this component slows the crystallization rate during heat sealing, improving fluidity and making the intermediate layer more likely to be crushed. Therefore, by ensuring that the content of (a1) is within the above range, low-temperature sealability is improved.
[0062] The proportion of the eluate (a2) at an elution temperature of 55° C. to 70° C. is preferably 1 to 30% by weight, more preferably 3 to 20% by weight, based on 100% by weight of the entire ethylene-based resin composition (A). The eluate (a2) at 55° C. to 70° C. is a component closer to the low crystallinity region within the intermediate region between low crystallinity and high crystallinity, and due to the influence of this component, it is possible to maintain appropriate elasticity during heat sealing.
[0063] The proportion of the eluate (a3) at an elution temperature of 70° C. to 85° C. is preferably 20 to 55% by weight, more preferably 20 to 45% by weight, based on 100% by weight of the entire ethylene-based resin composition (A). The eluate (a3) at 70° C. to 85° C. is a component closer to the high crystallinity region within the intermediate region between low crystallinity and high crystallinity, and due to the influence of this component, appropriate elasticity is maintained during heat sealing, resulting in good extrusion lamination processability.
[0064] The ethylene resin composition (A) more preferably has an elution curve obtained by TREF using orthodichlorobenzene as a solvent such that (viii) the ratio of the proportion of eluates (a1) having an elution temperature of 55°C or less to the proportion of eluates (a2) having an elution temperature of 55 to 70°C is 1 to 5, (ix) the ratio of the proportion of eluates (a3) having an elution temperature of 70 to 85°C to the proportion of eluates (a2) having an elution temperature of 55 to 70°C is 1 to 5, (x) the ratio of the proportion of eluates (a3) having an elution temperature of 70 to 85°C to the proportion of eluates (a1) having an elution temperature of 55°C or less is 1 to 5, and (xi) the ratio of the proportion of eluates ((a1) + (a2)) having an elution temperature of 70°C or less to the proportion of eluates ((a3) + (a4)) having an elution temperature of 70°C or more is 0.2 to 1.2. (However, the total of the proportions of (a1), (a2), (a3), and (a4) is 100% by weight.)
[0065] The ratio of the proportion of eluate (a1) having an elution temperature of 55°C or less to the proportion of eluate (a2) having an elution temperature of 55°C to 70°C is preferably 1 to 5, more preferably 1 to 4. When the ratio of the proportion of (a1) to the proportion of (a2) is within the above range, good low-temperature sealability is achieved. On the other hand, if the ratio of the proportion of (a1) to the proportion of (a2) is greater than the above range, rigidity and heat resistance deteriorate. Also, if the ratio of the proportion of (a1) to the proportion of (a2) is less than the above range, low-temperature sealability deteriorates.
[0066] The ratio of the proportion of the eluate (a3) having an elution temperature of 70°C to 85°C to the proportion of the eluate (a2) having an elution temperature of 55°C to 70°C is preferably 1 to 5, more preferably 2.5 to 5. When the ratio of the proportion of (a3) to the proportion of (a2) is within the above range, an excellent balance of elasticity and rigidity during heat sealing is achieved, and extrusion lamination processability is also improved. On the other hand, if the ratio of the proportion of (a3) to the proportion of (a2) is greater than the above range, low-temperature sealing properties are deteriorated. Furthermore, if the ratio of the proportion of (a3) to the proportion of (a2) is less than the above range, extrusion lamination processability is deteriorated.
[0067] The ratio of the proportion of eluate (a3) having an elution temperature of 70°C to 85°C to the proportion of eluate (a1) having an elution temperature of 55°C or lower is preferably 1 to 5, more preferably 1 to 4. When the ratio of the proportion of (a3) to the proportion of (a1) is within the above range, an excellent balance between elasticity and crystallization rate during heat sealing is achieved, and extrusion lamination processability is also improved. On the other hand, if the ratio of the proportion of (a3) to the proportion of (a1) is greater than the above range, low-temperature sealing properties are deteriorated. Furthermore, if the ratio of the proportion of (a3) to the proportion of (a1) is less than the above range, rigidity, heat resistance, and extrusion lamination processability are deteriorated.
[0068] The ratio of the proportion of eluates ((a1) + (a2)) having an elution temperature of 70°C or less to the proportion of eluates ((a3) + (a4)) having an elution temperature of 70°C or more is preferably 0.2 to 1.2, more preferably 0.2 to 0.7. When the ratio of the proportion of ((a1) + (a2)) to the proportion of ((a3) + (a4)) is within the above range, an excellent balance between heat sealability, heat resistance, and pressure resistance is achieved, and hot tack properties and resistance to foaming during high-temperature sealing are excellent. On the other hand, if the ratio of the proportion of ((a1) + (a2)) to the proportion of ((a3) + (a4)) is greater than the above range, heat resistance deteriorates, and seal recession and foaming at high sealing temperatures are observed, impairing the seal appearance. Furthermore, if the ratio of the proportion of ((a1) + (a2)) to the proportion of ((a3) + (a4)) is less than the above range, low-temperature sealability and pressure resistance deteriorate.
[0069] [TREF measurement method] A specific method for measuring TREF will be described below. The sample was dissolved in orthodichlorobenzene (containing 0.5 mg / mL BHT) at 140 °C to form a solution. This was then loaded onto a TREF column at 140 °C, cooled to 100 °C at a rate of 8 °C / min, then cooled to 40 °C at a rate of 4 °C / min, and then cooled to -15 °C at a rate of 1 °C / min, where it was held for 20 minutes. The solvent, orthodichlorobenzene (containing 0.5 mg / mL BHT), was then passed through the column at a flow rate of 1 mL / min. The components dissolved in orthodichlorobenzene at -15 °C in the TREF column were eluted for 10 minutes. The column was then heated linearly to 140 °C at a rate of 100 °C / hour, and an elution curve was obtained.
[0070] The apparatus and measurement conditions are, for example, as follows. (TREF section) TREF column: 4.3mmφ×150mm stainless steel column Column packing material: 100 μm surface-deactivated glass beads Heating method: Aluminum heat block Cooling method: Peltier element (Peltier element is water-cooled) Temperature distribution: ±0.5℃ Temperature controller: Chino Digital Program Controller KP1000 (valve oven) Heating method: Air bath oven Temperature during measurement: 140℃ Temperature distribution: ±1℃ Valve: 6-way valve, 4-way valve (Sample injection section) Injection method: Loop injection method Injection volume: Loop size 0.1 mL Inlet heating method: Aluminum heat block Temperature during measurement: 140℃ (Detection unit) Detector: Fixed wavelength infrared detector FOXBORO MIRAN 1A Detection wavelength: 3.42 μm High temperature flow cell: Micro flow cell for LC-IR, Optical path length: 1.5 mm, window shape: 2φ×4 mm oblong, synthetic sapphire window plate Temperature during measurement: 140℃ (Pump section) Liquid transfer pump: Senshu Scientific SSC-3461 pump <Measurement conditions> Solvent: orthodichlorobenzene (containing 0.5 mg / mL BHT) Sample concentration: 5 mg / mL Sample injection volume: 0.1 mL Solvent flow rate: 1 mL / min
[0071] The ethylene-based resin composition (A) of the present invention may contain, within the limits not significantly impairing the effects of the present invention, antioxidants, heat stabilizers, weather stabilizers, light stabilizers, ultraviolet absorbers, antistatic agents, antifogging agents, crystal nucleating agents, neutralizing agents, metal deactivators, colorants, dispersants, slip agents, peroxides, organic or inorganic fillers, fluorescent brighteners, pigments, etc. Furthermore, the ethylene-based resin composition (A) of the present invention may contain small amounts of resin components other than the ethylene-based resin (B), the ethylene-based resin (C), and the high-pressure low-density polyethylene (D), within the limits not significantly impairing the effects of the present invention.
[0072] 2.Laminate The laminate of the present invention has at least three layers: a sealant layer (X), an intermediate layer (Y), and a substrate layer (Z), and the intermediate layer (Y) and / or the sealant layer (X) are made using the ethylene-based resin composition of the present invention. Preferably, the sealant layer (X) and the intermediate layer (Y) are laminated on the substrate layer (Z) by extrusion lamination or coextrusion lamination.
[0073] Examples of the substrate layer (Z) include films of paper, aluminum foil, cellophane, woven fabric, nonwoven fabric, and high-molecular-weight polymers. Examples include olefin polymers such as high-density polyethylene, medium-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-acrylic acid ester copolymer, ionomer, polypropylene, poly-1-butene, and poly-4-methylpentene-1; vinyl copolymers such as polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polystyrene, polyacrylate, and polyacrylonitrile; polyamides such as nylon 6, nylon 66, nylon 7, nylon 10, nylon 11, nylon 12, nylon 610, and polymetaxylylene adipamide; polyesters such as polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene terephthalate / isophthalate, and polybutylene terephthalate; polyvinyl alcohol, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, and polycarbonate. The substrate layer (Z) may be made of one type of film or two or more types of films. Furthermore, depending on the type of substrate, the film may be stretched. Examples of stretched films include uniaxially or biaxially oriented polypropylene films, stretched nylon films, stretched polyethylene terephthalate films, and stretched polystyrene films. Furthermore, the above-mentioned films may be coated with polyvinylidene chloride or polyvinyl alcohol, or may be vapor-deposited with aluminum, alumina, silica, or a mixture of alumina and silica. For packaging films for packaging contents containing liquids or viscous substances, the substrate layer (Z) may be biaxially oriented nylon films, biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate films, or such substrates vapor-deposited with silica or alumina.
[0074] When the ethylene-based resin composition is not used in the sealant layer (X) or the intermediate layer (Y), there are no particular limitations, and a conventionally known ethylene-based resin composition can be used, such as an ethylene-α-olefin copolymer or a blend composition of an ethylene-α-olefin copolymer and a high-pressure low-density polyethylene.
[0075] Typically, methods for producing laminates include, for example, dry lamination, wet lamination, extrusion, sandwich lamination, and coextrusion. For example, packaging films used for dry lamination, etc., can be produced by any method such as calendaring, air-cooled inflation, water-cooled inflation, and T-die molding. In addition, in the case of extrusion methods, there are methods such as extrusion lamination, dry lamination, sandwich lamination, and coextrusion lamination (including coextrusion without an adhesive layer, coextrusion with an adhesive layer, and coextrusion with an adhesive resin).
[0076] In the laminate of the present invention, when laminating the sealant layer (X) and the intermediate layer (Y) on at least one surface of the base layer (Z), an extrusion lamination method or a co-extrusion lamination method is preferably used. By using these methods, the productivity of the laminate is excellent. For example, from the viewpoints of productivity and quality, the tandem extrusion lamination method is preferably used as a method for producing a packaging film for packaging contents including liquids, viscous substances, etc. The tandem extrusion lamination method is a method for sequentially laminating two types of resin layers, for example, a method in which an intermediate layer (Y) is laminated as a first layer on a substrate layer (Z) by extrusion lamination, and then a sealant layer (X) is laminated as a second layer.
[0077] There are no particular limitations on the overall thickness of the laminate, the thickness of each layer, or the thickness ratio of each layer, and these can be appropriately selected depending on the contents, intended use, etc. The overall thickness of the laminate is, for example, 40 to 120 μm, the thickness of the base layer is 10 to 40 μm, and the thickness of the sealant layer is approximately 10 to 40 μm. The thickness of the intermediate layer can be approximately 20 to 40 μm. Furthermore, before lamination, the base layer can be subjected to a surface treatment such as corona discharge treatment, ozone treatment, or flame treatment to improve the adhesion of the base surface. Furthermore, to enhance adhesion, an anchor coating agent can be applied to the base before lamination. Examples of anchor coating agents include isocyanate-based, polyethyleneimine-based, and polybutadiene-based agents.
[0078] 3. Packaging film The packaging film of the present invention can be used as various packaging materials, such as food packaging materials, medical packaging materials, and packaging materials for industrial materials such as engine oil. In particular, it can be suitably used as a film for packaging contents containing liquids. For example, it can be used as a packaging material for containing liquids, liquids containing solid insoluble matter such as fibers and powders, and fluids such as viscous substances.
[0079] As a packaging form for liquid contents, for example, one or two pieces of packaging film using a laminate in which the above-mentioned base layer (X), intermediate layer (Y), and sealant layer (Z) are laminated in this order are sealed on two, three, or four sides using a conventional heat sealing machine to form a bag. The shape of the bag is generally rectangular, but can be any shape. [Example]
