Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a reactive adhesive, a laminate, and a packaging material.

Background Art

[0002] In recent years, packages made from plastic films, plastic bottles, and other plastic products have been discarded as garbage in the ocean, causing environmental pollution problems. These plastic products are decomposed in seawater into submicron-sized fragments (microplastics) that float in the seawater. There is concern that these microplastics are ingested by marine organisms such as fish and concentrated in their bodies, which may also affect the health of seabirds and humans who consume these marine organisms as food.

[0003] Therefore, in recent years, as an adhesive used when laminating a plastic film in a packaging material, an adhesive that can be detached from the film using a detachment liquid such as water or an alkaline aqueous solution has been used to separate and recover the plastic film from the packaging material and recycle it.

[0004] As a detachable adhesive composition used for a packaging material that enables recycling of a plastic film with such a specific treatment liquid, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a two-component curable adhesive containing an isocyanate composition and an isocyanate-reactive composition containing an active hydrogen group-containing compound, and a reactive adhesive obtained by adding a resin or a low molecular compound having an acidic group to the isocyanate-reactive composition. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a reactive adhesive containing a polyol composition and a polyisocyanate, and the polyol composition contains a polyester polyol and a rosin-modified resin having a hydroxyl group and an acidic group.

Patent Document 1

[0006] However, Patent Document 1 does not describe the problem of the present invention, which is to achieve both desorption properties and resistance to contents containing acidic components, alkaline components, volatile components such as fragrances, and surfactant components, such as those found in shampoos and conditioners. Furthermore, adhesives containing isocyanate reactive compositions that include polyester polyols satisfying the number average molecular weight (Mn) or the content of aliphatic alcohols having quaternary carbon atoms and trivalent or higher hydroxyl groups described in Patent Document 1 make it difficult to solve the problem of resistance to the contents from the viewpoint of the strength of the adhesive layer. Patent Document 2 states that by using a reactive adhesive containing a polyester polyol and a polyol containing a rosin-modified resin having hydroxyl and acidic groups, both desorption properties and the aforementioned content resistance can be achieved. On the other hand, when a rosin-modified resin having hydroxyl and acidic groups is used, the storage stability of the polyol resin containing the rosin-modified resin deteriorates, and the processability of the reactive adhesive containing the polyol resin deteriorates, resulting in the inability to achieve the original physical properties, which remains a problem. Here, storage stability refers to the property that the viscosity of the resin does not change significantly even when stored for a long period of time without use. In other words, if the storage stability is poor, the viscosity of the resin will increase or decrease significantly over time.

[0007] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a reactive adhesive that has excellent storage stability and desorption properties, and does not experience a decrease in strength over time even when the contents contain acidic components, alkaline components, volatile components, surfactant components, etc., and that is excellent in storage stability, recyclability and content resistance, as well as laminates and packaging materials that use the reactive adhesive and achieve storage stability, recyclability and content resistance.

Effects of the Invention

[0017] According to the present invention, there are provided a reactive adhesive having excellent storage stability and peelability, and not exhibiting a decrease in strength over time even when the content contains components that cause significant damage to the adhesive layer, such as an acid component, an alkali component, a volatile component, or a surfactant component, and being excellent in storage stability, recyclability, and content resistance, and a laminate and a packaging material using the reactive adhesive and achieving all of storage stability, recyclability, and content resistance.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0018] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. However, the descriptions of the embodiments or requirements below are examples of the embodiments of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these contents unless it exceeds the gist thereof.

[0019] <<Reactive Adhesive>> The present invention relates to a reactive adhesive for forming a detachable adhesive layer in a laminate comprising a substrate and a detachable adhesive layer, wherein the substrate can be separated and recovered by detaching the detachable adhesive layer, the reactive adhesive comprising a polyol main component containing polyester polyol (A) and an isocyanate curing agent, wherein the polyester polyol (A) is a reaction product of a polybasic acid or a derivative thereof with a polyhydric alcohol or a derivative thereof, the polyhydric alcohol contains 0.1 to 2.5 ml of an aliphatic alcohol having a quaternary carbon atom and 3 or more hydroxyl groups, the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the polyester polyol (A) is 4,500 to 20,000, and the acid value (AVA) of the polyester polyol (A) is 10 mg KOH / g or more. By using a polyol main component containing the aforementioned polyester polyol (A) and an isocyanate curing agent, storage stability, alkali desorption properties, and content resistance can all be achieved.

[0020] The above effect is presumed to be due to the following mechanism. First, the ester bonds derived from the polyester polyol undergo partial hydrolysis, increasing its affinity for desorption solutions such as alkaline aqueous solutions and improving desorption properties. Furthermore, when the polyhydric alcohol constituting the polyester polyol (A) contains 0.1 to 2.5 moles of aliphatic alcohols having quaternary carbon atoms and three or more hydroxyl groups, branching within the polyester polyol (A) increases, resulting in a stronger adhesive layer formed by the curing of the reactive adhesive. This makes it less susceptible to damage even when the contents penetrate the substrate and reach the adhesive layer, allowing the adhesive strength to be maintained over a long period. Additionally, if the number-average molecular weight (Mn) of the polyester polyol (A) is within a predetermined range, a balance can be achieved between alkali desorption properties and content resistance. When the acid value of the polyester polyol (A) is 10 mgKOH / g or more, the affinity between the release liquid containing an alkaline component or the like and the reactive adhesive containing the polyester polyol (A) is improved due to the acidic groups. As a result, the decomposition or swelling of the reactive adhesive by the release liquid is promoted, and more excellent releasability is exhibited.

[0021] That is, the reactive adhesive of the present invention uses a polyester polyol (A) containing an aliphatic alcohol having a quaternary carbon atom and three or more hydroxyl groups in an amount of 0.1 to 2.5 mol% in the polyhydric alcohol. The number average molecular weight and acid value of the polyester polyol (A) are in a predetermined range, resulting in a synergistic effect, achieving both excellent releasability and resistance to contents containing components that cause significant damage to the adhesive layer.

[0022] <Polyol main agent> The polyol main agent in the present invention contains a polyester polyol (A).

[0023] [Polyester polyol (A)] The polyester polyol (A) is a reaction product of a polybasic acid or its derivative and a polyhydric alcohol or its derivative. It is important that an aliphatic alcohol having a quaternary carbon atom and three or more hydroxyl groups is contained in an amount of 0.1 to 2.5 mol% based on the total amount of all substances of the polyhydric alcohol. Further, the number average molecular weight (Mn) of the polyester polyol (A) is 4,500 to 20,000, and the acid value (AVA) of the polyester polyol (A) is 10 mgKOH / g or more, which is important. The polyester polyol (A) may be used alone, or two or more kinds having different molecular weights and glass transition temperatures may be used in combination from the viewpoints of coating properties and performance improvement.

[0024] (Polybasic acid or its derivative) Examples of the polybasic acids or their derivatives include aromatic ring-containing polybasic acids such as terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, phthalic anhydride, trimellitic acid, trimellitic anhydride, pyromellitic acid, pyromellitic anhydride, naphthalic acid, and naphthalic anhydride; aliphatic polybasic acids such as adipic acid, azelaic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, decanedicarboxylic acid, dodecanedicarboxylic acid, fumaric acid, 1,3-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid, 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, hexahydrophthalic anhydride, maleic anhydride, and itaconic anhydride; alkyl esters thereof; or mixtures thereof.

[0025] The polybasic acid or its derivative preferably includes a polybasic acid or its derivative having a methylene chain with 6 or more carbon atoms, and more preferably an aliphatic polybasic acid having a methylene chain with 6 or more carbon atoms. As a result, the polyester polyol (A) has a methylene chain with 6 or more carbon atoms derived from the polybasic acid or its derivative, which creates spacing between the ester groups present within the polyester polyol, suppressing hydrolysis and improving the resistance to contents. In addition, the flexibility of the reactive adhesive is increased, improving substrate adhesion and resistance to contents.

[0026] Aliphatic polybasic acids having a methylene chain with 6 or more carbon atoms include the aforementioned azelaic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid, decanedicarboxylic acid, and dodecanedicarboxylic acid, among which sebacic acid is preferred from the viewpoint of content resistance.

For example, the range of the content may be 0.1 to 2.5 moles, 0.3 to 2.3 moles, or 0.5 to 2.0 moles.

[0031] The polyhydric alcohol preferably contains a polyhydric alcohol having a methylene chain with 6 or more carbon atoms, and more preferably contains an aliphatic polyhydric alcohol having a methylene chain with 6 or more carbon atoms. As a result, the polyester polyol (A) has a methylene chain with 6 or more carbon atoms derived from the polyhydric alcohol, which creates spacing between the ester groups present inside the polyester polyol, suppressing hydrolysis and improving its resistance to contents.

[0032] Aliphatic polyhydric alcohols having a methylene chain with 6 or more carbon atoms include 1,6-hexanediol, 3,3'-dimethylolheptane, and 1,9-nonanediol, among which 1,6-hexanediol is preferred from the viewpoint of content resistance.

[0034] Furthermore, the polyhydric alcohol preferably contains an ether-linked aliphatic diol. This improves the hydrophilicity of the reactive adhesive, promotes the decomposition or swelling of the reactive adhesive by the desorbing liquid, and exhibits superior desorbing properties. Examples of ether-linked aliphatic diols include the aforementioned diethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, triethylene glycol, dieopentyl glycol, polyoxyethylene glycol, polyoxypropylene glycol, and polytetramethylene ether glycol. The content of the ether-linked aliphatic diol is preferably 5 moles or more, more preferably 7 moles or more, even more preferably 10 moles or more, and preferably 40 moles or less, more preferably 35 moles or less, and even more preferably 30 moles or less, based on the total amount of polyhydric alcohols.

[0035] The above-mentioned polybasic acids or their derivatives, and polyhydric alcohols may be used individually or in combination of two or more.

[0036] Polyester polyol (A) may be obtained by reacting a polyisocyanate with the hydroxyl groups in the polyester polyol to introduce urethane bonds. The presence of urethane bonds provides excellent heat resistance and adhesive properties.

[0037] The polyester polyol (A) is preferably an acid-modified product obtained by acid-modifying some of the hydroxyl groups in the polyester polyol. For example, it may be obtained by reacting some of the hydroxyl groups in the polyester polyol with an acid compound to introduce carboxyl groups. Examples of the acidic compound include pyromellitic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, melitic anhydride, dodecenyl succinic anhydride, benzophenone tetracarboxylic anhydride, trimellitic anhydride, tetrahydrophthalic anhydride, hexahydrophthalic anhydride, tetrahydromethylphthalic anhydride, methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride, and trimellitic anhydride esters. Examples of trimellitic anhydride esters include ethylene glycol bisanhydrotrimellitate and propylene glycol bisanhydrotrimellitate. Among these, trimellitic anhydride is preferred from the viewpoint of adjusting the molecular weight of the polyester polyol. Furthermore, the acidic compound used to acid-modify some of the hydroxyl groups in the polyester polyol may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0038] When polyester polyol (A) is an acid-modified product obtained by acid-modifying some of the hydroxyl groups in the polyester polyol, the mass ratio of the acidic compound used for acid modification to the aliphatic alcohol containing quaternary carbon atoms and 3 or more hydroxyl groups in the polyester polyol (A) is preferably 60:40 to 99:1, and more preferably 65:35 to 97:3. If the mass ratio is within the predetermined range, a balance can be achieved between alkali desorption and content resistance.

[0039] When the acid value (AVA) of polyester polyol (A) is 10 mg KOH / g or higher, when it comes into contact with a desorbing solution containing an alkaline component, the decomposition or swelling of the reactive adhesive by the desorbing solution is promoted, resulting in superior desorbing properties. From the viewpoint of improving desorbing properties, the acid value is preferably 15 mg KOH / g or higher, more preferably 20 mg KOH / g or higher, and even more preferably 25 mg KOH / g or higher.

[0040] The number average molecular weight (Mn) of the polyester polyol (A) is 4,500 to 20,000, which allows for a balance between the strength and substrate adhesion of the adhesive layer consisting of the main component containing the polyester polyol (A) and the isocyanate curing agent, achieving both desorption and content resistance.

Using a tensile testing machine, T-type peeling was performed at a peeling speed of 30cm / min under conditions of 20°C and 65% relative humidity, and the adhesive strength (N / 15mm) between the AL-deposited PET and LLDPE was measured to obtain the [initial adhesive strength] result. The practical range of adhesive strength is 4N / 15mm or higher.

[0098] (Adhesive strength after testing over time) Two pieces of the resulting laminate, each measuring 10cm x 15cm, were cut out. The LLDPE layers were placed facing each other on the inside, and a pouch was created by heat sealing. The resulting pouch was filled with conditioner, sealed, and left to stand for two months in a 40°C atmosphere. Subsequently, the contents were removed, and the pouch samples, after washing and drying, were cut to a size of 15 mm x 300 mm to serve as test specimens. Similar to the initial adhesive strength, the adhesive strength (N / 15 mm) between the AL-deposited PET and LLDPE was measured, and the results for [adhesion strength over time] were obtained. The practical range for adhesive strength is 3 N / 15 mm or higher.
