AI Technical Summary
Current polyisocyanate compositions used in two-component curable adhesives and coatings face challenges in storage stability and the presence of unreacted diisocyanate monomers, which can lead to safety concerns and regulatory issues due to the formation of primary aromatic amines when exposed to water, affecting the efficiency and safety of food packaging laminates.
A novel polyisocyanate composition is developed, comprising a reaction product of toluene diisocyanate and a diol with a molecular weight between 65 and 300, which includes a combination of diols with alkyl side chains and ether bonds, enhancing storage stability and reaction efficiency while minimizing the content of unreacted diisocyanate monomers through distillation, thereby meeting safety and regulatory standards.
The novel composition improves storage stability, coatability, and the rapid development of physical properties in two-component curable compositions, while reducing the levels of unreacted diisocyanate monomers to comply with safety regulations and enhance manufacturing efficiency for food packaging applications.
Abstract
Description
Polyisocyanate compositions, two-component curing compositions, two-component curing coating agents, two-component curing adhesives, laminates, packaging materials
[0001] The present invention relates to a polyisocyanate composition, a two-component curing composition, a two-component curing coating agent, a two-component curing adhesive, a laminate, and a packaging material.
[0002] Polyurethane resins are usually produced by reacting polyisocyanate with an active hydrogen group-containing compound, and are widely used in various industrial fields as coating agents, adhesives, pressure-sensitive adhesives, elastomers, rigid foams, flexible foams, binders, etc. Among the products using such urethane resins, so-called two-component curing products are known, in which polyisocyanate and an active hydrogen compound are mixed together immediately before use.
[0003] As the polyisocyanate, diisocyanate monomers such as hexamethylene diisocyanate, toluene diisocyanate, and diphenylmethane diisocyanate may be used, but oligomers of diisocyanate monomers or urethane polyisocyanates derived from diisocyanates and polyols may also be used in order to improve the physical properties of the polyurethane resin and to ensure the safety of workers who handle them by suppressing their vapor pressure.

[0005] An object of the present invention is to provide a novel polyisocyanate composition suitable for two-component curing compositions such as two-component curing adhesives and two-component curing coating agents.
[0006] That is, the present invention relates to a polyisocyanate composition (X) containing a polyisocyanate compound (A) having a plurality of isocyanate groups, wherein the polyisocyanate compound (A) contains a polyurethane polyisocyanate (A1) which is a reaction product of toluene diisocyanate (a) and a diol (b) having a molecular weight of 65 or more and 300 or less.
[0007] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a novel polyisocyanate composition that is suitable for two-component curing compositions such as two-component curing adhesives and two-component curing coating agents.
[0008] <Polyisocyanate Composition (X)> (Polyurethane Polyisocyanate (A1)) The polyisocyanate composition (X) of the present invention contains a polyisocyanate compound (A) having a plurality of isocyanate groups, and the polyisocyanate compound (A) contains a polyurethane polyisocyanate (A1) that is a reaction product of toluene diisocyanate (a) and diol (b) having a molecular weight of 65 or more and 300 or less. The toluene diisocyanate (a) may be either or both of 2,4'-toluene diisocyanate and 2,6'-toluene diisocyanate.
[0009] The diol (b) used in the synthesis of the polyurethane polyisocyanate (A1) is not particularly limited and any conventionally known diol can be used as long as it has a molecular weight of 65 to 300. By using a diol (b) having a molecular weight of 65 or more, a polyisocyanate composition (X) with excellent storage stability can be obtained. By using a diol having a molecular weight of 300 or less, the reaction with the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) described below proceeds smoothly, and a two-component curing composition with rapid development of physical properties can be obtained.
[0010] The diol (b) preferably contains at least one of a diol (b1) having an alkyl side chain containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms and a diol (b2) having an ether bond. The diol (b) may have the characteristics of both the diol (b1) and the diol (b2).
[0011] Examples of the diol (b1) having an alkyl side chain containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms include 1,2-propanediol, neopentyl glycol, 2-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, 1,3-butanediol, 2-methyl-1,3-butanediol, 2-ethyl-1,3-butanediol, 2-propyl-1,3-butanediol, 2-butyl-1,3-butanediol, 2-pentyl-1,3-butanediol, 2-(1-methylethyl)- 1,3-butanediol, 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-butanediol, 2,3-dimethyl-1,3-butanediol, 2-ethyl-2-methyl-1,3-butanediol, 3-methyl-1,3-butanediol, 1,2-pentanediol, 1,3-pentanediol, 2,4-pentanediol, 2-methyl-1,3-pentanediol, 2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, 2-propyl-1,3-propanediol, 4-methyl-1,3- Pentanediol, 2,4-dimethyl-1,3-pentanediol, 2,2,4-trimethyl-1,3-pentanediol, 2-methyl-2,4-pentanediol, 3-methyl-2,4-pentanediol, 3-ethyl-2,4-pentanediol, 1,2-hexanediol, 1,3-hexanediol, 2-methyl-1,3-hexanediol, 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol, 4-methyl-1,3-hexanediol, 5-methyl 1,3-hexanediol, 2,4-hexanediol, 1,3-heptanediol, 2-methyl-1,3-methyl-heptanediol, 4-methyl-1,3-heptanediol, 5-methyl-1,3-heptanediol, 6-methyl-1,3-heptanediol, 2,4-heptanediol, 2,4-octanediol, 3,5-octanediol, 2,4-nonanediol, 3,5-nonanediol, and 4,6-nonanediol.
[0012] Examples of the diol (b2) having an ether bond include diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, tetrapropylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, 4-methoxy-1,3-butanediol, 5-methoxy-1,3-pentanediol, and 5-ethoxy-1,3-pentanediol.
[0013] The diol (b) may be a single compound exemplified above, or a combination of two or more compounds. When a combination of two or more compounds is used as the diol (b), a combination of two or more compounds having the characteristics of the diol (b1) may be used, such as a combination of neopentyl glycol and 2-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol, or a combination of two or more compounds having the characteristics of the diol (b2) may be used, such as a combination of dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, and tetrapropylene glycol. A combination of two or more compounds having the characteristics of the diol (b1) and two or more compounds having the characteristics of the diol (b2) may be used, such as a combination of 2-butyl-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol and diethylene glycol or triethylene glycol.
[0014] The content of the diols (b1) and (b2) in the diol (b) (here, the content of either (b1) or (b2) may be 0) is preferably 20% by mass or more, more preferably 40% by mass or more. The total amount of the diol (b) may be at least one selected from the diols (b1) and (b2).
[0015] The polyurethane polyisocyanate (A1) is obtained by reacting toluene diisocyanate (a) with polyol (b) under conditions in which the isocyanate groups of toluene diisocyanate (a) are in excess relative to the hydroxyl groups of polyol (b). The equivalent ratio of isocyanate groups to hydroxyl groups [NCO] / [hydroxyl groups] can be appropriately adjusted, but is, for example, 2.0 or more and 20.0 or less.
[0016] The polyisocyanate composition (X) used in the present invention preferably has a content of diisocyanate monomers, i.e., diisocyanate monomers such as aromatic diisocyanates, araliphatic diisocyanates, aliphatic diisocyanates, and alicyclic diisocyanates, which are exemplified as raw materials for the isocyanate derivative (A2) described later, reduced to 1.0% by mass or less, more preferably 0.1% by mass or less.
[0017] From the viewpoint of occupational safety and health, there is a movement to restrict the use of isocyanate monomers, and the European Commission has adopted the REACH regulation, which prohibits the marketing of products containing 0.1% by mass or more of isocyanate monomers unless certain requirements are met. Products that comply with this regulation can be made by removing unreacted diisocyanate monomers until the amount of diisocyanate monomer in the polyisocyanate composition is 0.1% by mass or less.
[0018] Furthermore, when a laminate for food packaging is manufactured using a two-component curing adhesive containing an aromatic isocyanate prepolymer, unreacted aromatic isocyanate monomer may remain in the adhesive layer. The isocyanate monomer reacts with surrounding water to form primary aromatic amine (PAA), which may migrate through the film and leach into the contents (food). Due to concerns about the harmfulness of PAA to the human body, various regulations have been established, including the European Commission's detection limit for PAA in its regulations on food contact plastic materials and articles.
[0019] Because PAA reacts with unreacted aromatic isocyanate present in the vicinity, the concentration of PAA gradually decreases even when aromatic isocyanate remains in the adhesive layer. Although it eventually falls below the detection limit, from the viewpoint of the manufacturing efficiency of laminates for food packaging, it is preferable that the initial value of aromatic isocyanate monomer remaining in the adhesive layer is low. By removing the diisocyanate monomer in advance, a two-component curing adhesive with excellent manufacturing efficiency can be obtained.
[0020] The diisocyanate monomer can be removed by distilling the diisocyanate monomer under reduced pressure using a short-path distillation apparatus, a thin-film distillation apparatus, etc. The degree of reduced pressure and the distillation temperature are appropriately adjusted depending on the diisocyanate monomer to be removed, and are, for example, 0.1 mbar or less and 120° C. to 190° C. The diisocyanate monomer removal step may be carried out multiple times.
[0021] The content of diisocyanate monomer can be measured by gas chromatography using an internal standard, for example, in accordance with ASTM D 3432. Alternatively, it can also be measured by liquid chromatography under the following conditions.
[0022] Equipment: Waters Corporation "ACQUITY UPLC H-Class" Data processing: Waters Corporation "Empower-3" Column: Waters Corporation "ACQUITY UPLC HSS T3" (100 mm x 2.1 mmφ, 1.8 μm) 40°C Eluent: Ammonium formate aqueous solution / methanol, 0.3 mL / min Detector: PDA Sample preparation: 1. Dissolve 100 mg of appropriately blocked sample in 10 ml of THF (for LC) 2. Vortex for 30 seconds 3. Dilute appropriately with eluent (mobile phase) 4. Pass through a 0.2 μm filter to prepare the measurement sample. Calculation of area ratio: Calculate using the maximum absorption wavelength for the target substance.

[0089] The isocyanate-reactive compound (E) preferably contains one having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 15°C or higher.

These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0092] The polycarboxylic acid may contain a polycarboxylic acid other than the ortho-oriented polycarboxylic acid. As such a polycarboxylic acid, the same polycarboxylic acids as those exemplified as raw materials for the polyester polyol (E1) can be used. When the polycarboxylic acid contains a polycarboxylic acid other than the ortho-oriented polycarboxylic acid, the proportion of the ortho-oriented polycarboxylic acid in the total amount of the polycarboxylic acid is preferably 40 to 100 mass%.
[0093] The polyhydric alcohol used in the synthesis of polyester polyol (E1-1) preferably contains at least one selected from the group consisting of ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, butylene glycol, neopentyl glycol, and cyclohexanedimethanol, and more preferably contains ethylene glycol.

Examples of such polyhydric alcohols include glycerin, 1,3,5-tris(2-hydroxyethyl)isocyanuric acid, and trimethylolpropane.
[0094] When the polyester polyol (E1-1) has three or more hydroxyl groups (referred to as polyester polyol (e1-1) for convenience), some of the hydroxyl groups may be modified with acid groups. Such polyester polyols are also referred to as polyester polyols (E1-1') below. The polyester polyol (E1-1') is obtained by reacting the polyester polyol (e1-1) with a polycarboxylic acid or its acid anhydride. The proportion of hydroxyl groups modified with the polycarboxylic acid is preferably ⅓ or less of the hydroxyl groups in the polyester polyol (e1-1).

[0096] As the triol compound having an isocyanuric ring, 1,3,5-tris(2-hydroxyethyl)isocyanuric acid or 1,3,5-tris(2-hydroxypropyl)isocyanuric acid is preferably used. As the ortho-oriented aromatic polycarboxylic acid, orthophthalic anhydride is preferably used. As the polyhydric alcohol, ethylene glycol is preferably used.
[0097] The polyester polyol (E1-3) can be obtained by using a component having a polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond as a polycarboxylic acid or a polyhydric alcohol.

It is believed that the fewer the number of carbon atoms, the less flexible the molecular chain and the less oxygen permeates, so maleic anhydride, maleic acid, and fumaric acid are preferred. Examples of polyhydric alcohols having a polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond include 2-butene-1,4-diol.
[0099] In addition to the above, polycarboxylic acids and polyhydric alcohols not having a polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond may be used in combination. Examples of such polycarboxylic acids and polyhydric alcohols include those similar to those used in polyester polyols (E1-1) and (E1-2).

[0100] When polyester polyols (E1-1), (E1-2), and (E1-3) are used for the purpose of gas barrier property, the amount used can be adjusted appropriately depending on the desired level of gas barrier property, but as an example, the amount used is preferably 50% by mass or more, more preferably 60% by mass or more, of the isocyanate-reactive compound (E). The total amount of the isocyanate-reactive compound (E) may be at least one selected from polyester polyols (E1-1), (E1-2), and (E1-3).
[0101] When polyester polyols (E1-1), (E1-2), and (E1-3) are used as the isocyanate-reactive compound (E), the hydroxyl value can be appropriately adjusted, but is preferably 20 mgKOH / g or more in view of ease of solubility in solvents, and is preferably 400 mgKOH / g or less in view of the reduced likelihood of blocking.
[0102] When the polyester polyols (E1-1), (E1-2), and (E1-3) have an acid group, the acid value is preferably 200 mgKOH / g or less, which can appropriately suppress the reaction between the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y), thereby providing a coating agent with excellent applicability.
[0103] The molecular weight of polyester polyols (E1-1), (E1-2), and (E1-3) is preferably 300 g / mol to 5000 g / mol, as this provides an excellent balance between adhesion and gas barrier properties. It is more preferably 350 g / mol to 3000 g / mol. The molecular weight is calculated from the obtained hydroxyl value and the number of functional hydroxyl groups in the design.
[0104] The coating agent of the present invention may or may not contain a solvent. As the solvent, the same solvents as those exemplified as the solvent (C) can be used.

[0107] The amount of coating agent applied can be adjusted appropriately depending on the application, etc., but as an example, 2 More than 100g / m 2 The following is the result.
[0108] The two-component curing coating agent of the present invention is preferably used by blending the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) so that the ratio [NCO] / [isocyanate-reactive functional group], where [NCO] is the number of moles of isocyanate groups contained in the polyisocyanate composition (X) and [isocyanate-reactive functional group] is 0.5 to 5.0, more preferably 1.0 to 3.0. This allows for appropriate curing properties to be obtained without being dependent on the environmental humidity during coating.
[0109] <Two-component curing adhesive> The two-component curing adhesive of the present invention contains the above-described polyisocyanate composition (X) and isocyanate-reactive composition (Y).
[0110] When the adhesive of the present invention is used as a solventless adhesive, the viscosity of the polyisocyanate composition (X) is adjusted to a range suitable for the non-solvent lamination method. For example, the viscosity at 70°C is adjusted to be in the range of 100 to 20,000 mPas, more preferably 500 to 10,000 mPas. The viscosity of the polyisocyanate composition (X) can be adjusted, for example, by the structure of the polyurethane polyisocyanate (A1) (the diol (b) used) or the isocyanate compound (A2) used in combination as needed. The viscosity of the polyisocyanate composition (X) can be measured, for example, using a rotational viscometer with a cone and plate of 1° x 50 mm diameter and a shear rate of 100 sec. -1 , can be measured at 70°C ± 1°C.
[0111] When the adhesive of the present invention is used as a solvent-based adhesive, the viscosity of the polyisocyanate composition (X) can be adjusted by diluting it with a solvent.
[0112] (Isocyanate-reactive composition (Y)) The isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) contains an isocyanate-reactive compound (E). As the isocyanate-reactive compound (E), the same compounds as those used in the above-mentioned coating agent can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0113] The isocyanate-reactive compound (E) preferably contains one having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 40°C or less. This makes it possible to obtain an adhesive with excellent adhesive properties. The lower limit of the glass transition temperature of the isocyanate-reactive compound (E) can be appropriately adjusted depending on the purpose, but is, for example, -50°C or higher.
[0114] As with the coating agent described above, an adhesive with excellent gas barrier properties can be obtained by using the isocyanate-reactive compound (E) in combination with an isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) containing at least one selected from polyester polyol (E1-1) obtained by polycondensing a polycarboxylic acid containing an ortho-orienting polycarboxylic acid with a polyhydric alcohol, polyester polyol (E1-2) having an isocyanuric ring, and polyester polyol (E1-3) having a polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond.
[0115] When polyester polyols (E1-1), (E1-2), and (E1-3) are used for the purpose of gas barrier property, the amount used can be adjusted appropriately depending on the desired level of gas barrier property, but as an example, the amount used is preferably 40% by mass or more, more preferably 50% by mass or more, of the isocyanate-reactive compound (E). The total amount of the isocyanate-reactive compound (E) may be at least one selected from polyester polyols (E1-1), (E1-2), and (E1-3).
[0116] When polyester polyols (E1-1), (E1-2), and (E1-3) are used as the isocyanate-reactive compound (E), the hydroxyl value is preferably 20 mgKOH / g or more, since this allows the adhesive to have excellent coating suitability even when used as a solventless adhesive. Furthermore, the hydroxyl value is preferably 400 mgKOH / g or less, since this allows the cured coating film of the adhesive to be flexible and allows the adhesive to exhibit good adhesion to flexible substrates.
[0117] When the polyester polyols (E1-1), (E1-2), and (E1-3) have an acid group, the acid value is preferably 200 mgKOH / g or less, which can appropriately suppress the reaction between the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y), thereby providing an adhesive with excellent coatability.
[0118] The molecular weight of polyester polyols (E1-1), (E1-2), and (E1-3) is preferably 300 g / mol to 5000 g / mol, as this provides an excellent balance between adhesiveness and gas barrier properties.

[0124] When the adhesive of the present invention is provided in a solventless form, the viscosity of the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) is adjusted to a range suitable for the non-solvent lamination method. For example, the viscosity at 40°C is adjusted to a range of 100 to 50,000 mPas, more preferably 100 to 20,000 mPas. The viscosity of the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) can be adjusted by the skeleton of the isocyanate-reactive compound (E) or the plasticizer described below.

[0141] Examples of plastic pigments include "Grandol PP-1000" and "PP-2000S" manufactured by DIC Corporation.
[0142] The pigment to be used may be selected appropriately depending on the purpose. For example, inorganic oxides such as titanium oxide and zinc oxide are preferably used as white pigments because they have excellent durability, weather resistance, and design properties, and carbon black is preferably used as black pigments.
[0143] The blending amount of the pigment is, for example, 1 to 400 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of nonvolatile components of the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y), and is more preferably 10 to 300 parts by mass in order to improve adhesion and blocking resistance.
[0144] (Acid Anhydride) Examples of the acid anhydride include alicyclic acid anhydrides, aromatic acid anhydrides, unsaturated carboxylic acid anhydrides, etc., and can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

Furthermore, copolymer polyether glycols of two or more of these glycols and / or polyether glycols may also be used.
[0146] Alternatively, among the compounds mentioned above as acid anhydrides, a homopolymer or copolymer of a compound having a polymerizable unsaturated group, such as maleic anhydride, may be used.

These compounds may be used alone or in combination of two or more. It is preferable to use styrene and p-tert-butylstyrene, which are vinyl compounds having an aromatic ring.
[0147] (Other Components) The adhesive may contain a phosphoric acid derivative (C) and a plasticizer (D). These may be the same as those exemplified above as components of the polyisocyanate composition (X).
[0148] (Form of Adhesive) The two-component curing adhesive of the present invention may be either a solvent-based or solventless type. In this specification, a "solvent-based" adhesive refers to a form used in a so-called dry lamination method, in which the adhesive is applied to a substrate, heated in an oven or the like to volatilize the organic solvent in the coating, and then bonded to another substrate. Either or both of the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) contain an organic solvent capable of dissolving (diluting) the components of the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) used in the present invention.
[0149] Examples of organic solvents include esters such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, cellosolve acetate, etc., ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, etc., ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, etc., aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene, xylene, etc., halogenated hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride, ethylene chloride, etc., dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethyl sulfamide, etc. The organic solvent used as a reaction medium during production of the components of the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) may also be used as a diluent during coating.
[0150] In this specification, a "solventless" adhesive refers to a form of adhesive in which the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) are substantially free of esters such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, cellosolve acetate, etc.; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, isobutyl ketone, cyclohexanone, etc.; ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, etc.; aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene, xylene, etc.; halogenated hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride, ethylene chloride, etc.; highly soluble organic solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide, dimethyl sulfamide, in particular ethyl acetate or methyl ethyl ketone; and which is used in a method in which the adhesive is applied to a substrate and then bonded to another substrate without going through a step of heating in an oven or the like to volatilize the solvent, i.e., a so-called non-solvent lamination method. If the organic solvent used as a reaction medium during the production of the components of polyisocyanate composition (X) or isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) or the raw materials thereof cannot be completely removed, and trace amounts of organic solvent remain in polyisocyanate composition (X) or isocyanate-reactive composition (Y), it is considered to be substantially free of organic solvent. Furthermore, if isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) contains a low-molecular-weight alcohol, the low-molecular-weight alcohol reacts with polyisocyanate composition (X) to become part of the coating film, and therefore does not need to be volatilized after coating. Therefore, such a form is also treated as a solventless adhesive, and the low-molecular-weight alcohol is not considered an organic solvent.
[0151] The two-component curing adhesive of the present invention is preferably used by blending the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) so that the ratio [NCO] / [isocyanate-reactive functional group] of the number of moles of isocyanate groups [NCO] to the number of moles of functional groups reactive with isocyanate [isocyanate-reactive functional group] is 0.5 to 5.0, more preferably 1.0 to 3.0. This allows for appropriate curing properties to be obtained without depending on the environmental humidity at the time of application.
[0152] <Laminate> The laminate of the present invention can be obtained, for example, by mixing the polyisocyanate composition (X) of the present invention with the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) to prepare a coating agent, which is then applied to a substrate and cured. Alternatively, the laminate can be obtained by a two-liquid mixing process in which the polyisocyanate composition (X) of the present invention and the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) are mixed in advance to prepare an adhesive, which is then applied to a first substrate, and then a second substrate is laminated on the coated surface and cured to form an adhesive layer; or by a two-liquid separate coating process in which the polyisocyanate composition (X) and the isocyanate-reactive composition (Y) are separately applied to a first substrate and a second substrate, and then the coated surfaces of the first substrate and the second substrate are brought into contact and pressed together to laminate the first substrate and the second substrate, and the adhesive layer is cured to form an adhesive layer. There are no particular restrictions on the substrate used, and it can be selected appropriately depending on the application.
[0153] Examples of films for food packaging include polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films, polystyrene films, polyamide films, polyacrylonitrile films, polyethylene films (LLDPE: low-density polyethylene film, HDPE: high-density polyethylene film, MDOPE: uniaxially oriented polyethylene film, BOPE: biaxially oriented polyethylene film), polypropylene films (CPP: unoriented polypropylene film, OPP: biaxially oriented polypropylene film), polyolefin films such as gas-barrier heat-sealable films in which an olefin-based heat-sealable resin layer is provided on one or both sides of a resin having gas-barrier properties such as an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer or polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl alcohol film, and ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer film.
[0154] It is also preferable to use biomass films, biodegradable films, and recycled plastic films formed from materials containing biomass-derived components, biodegradable components, or recycled components. Biomass films, biodegradable films, and recycled plastic films are sold by various companies, and films certified in various countries can also be used, such as film sheets listed in the list of biomass-certified products listed by the Japan Organics Recycling Association, films listed in the list of Eco Mark-certified products listed by the Japan Environment Association, and films bearing the symbol mark designated by the Japan Bioplastics Association.
[0155] (Biomass Film) Specific examples of well-known biomass films include those made from biomass-derived ethylene glycol. Biomass-derived ethylene glycol is made from ethanol (biomass ethanol) produced from biomass as a raw material. For example, biomass-derived ethylene glycol can be obtained by converting biomass ethanol into ethylene oxide by a conventionally known method to produce ethylene glycol. Alternatively, commercially available biomass ethylene glycol may be used; for example, biomass ethylene glycol commercially available from India Glycoal Limited can be suitably used.
[0156] For example, as an alternative to conventional polyethylene terephthalate films made from petroleum-based raw materials, films containing biomass polyesters and biomass polyethylene terephthalates, which have biomass-derived ethylene glycol as the diol unit and fossil fuel-derived dicarboxylic acids as the dicarboxylic acid units, are known.
[0157] The dicarboxylic acid units of the biomass polyester use dicarboxylic acids derived from fossil fuels. Aromatic dicarboxylic acids, aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, and their derivatives can be used without limitation as dicarboxylic acids. Furthermore, the biomass polyester may be a copolymer polyester containing, in addition to the diol and dicarboxylic acid components, a bifunctional oxycarboxylic acid or a third copolymer component, such as at least one polyfunctional compound selected from the group consisting of a trifunctional or higher polyhydric alcohol, a trifunctional or higher polycarboxylic acid and / or its anhydride, and a trifunctional or higher oxycarboxylic acid, to form a crosslinked structure.
[0158] Also, for example, as an alternative to conventional polyolefin films using petroleum-based raw materials, biomass polyolefin films such as biomass polyethylene films and biomass polyethylene-polypropylene films containing polyethylene resins made from biomass-derived ethylene glycol are known. The polyethylene resin is not particularly limited except that the biomass-derived ethylene glycol is used as part of the raw material, and examples include ethylene homopolymers and copolymers of ethylene and α-olefins containing ethylene as the main component (ethylene-α-olefin copolymers containing 90% by mass or more of ethylene units), and these can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0159] The α-olefin constituting the copolymer of ethylene and α-olefin is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include α-olefins having 4 to 8 carbon atoms, such as 1-butene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, 1-hexene, and 1-octene. Known polyethylene resins such as low-density polyethylene resin, medium-density polyethylene resin, and linear low-density polyethylene resin can be used. Among these, linear low-density polyethylene resin (LLDPE) (a copolymer of ethylene and 1-hexene, or a copolymer of ethylene and 1-octene) is preferred from the viewpoint of further reducing the risk of damage such as holes and tears even when films are rubbed against each other, and has a density of 0.910 to 0.925 g / cm. 3 More preferred is a linear low density polyethylene resin in which
[0160] Biomass films made from biomass raw materials classified by the biomass plastic content specified in ISO 16620 or ASTM D6866 are also on the market. Radioactive carbon-14C exists in the atmosphere at a rate of 1 in 10 particles, and this rate is the same for atmospheric carbon dioxide, so this rate remains the same even in plants that fix carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. Therefore, the carbon in plant-derived resins contains radioactive carbon-14C. In contrast, the carbon in fossil fuel-derived resins contains almost no radioactive carbon-14C. Therefore, by measuring the concentration of radioactive carbon-14C in the resin using an accelerator mass spectrometer, the plant-derived resin content in the resin, i.e., the biomass plastic content, can be determined.
[0161] Examples of plant-derived low-density polyethylene, which is a biomass plastic having a biomass plastic content of 80% or more, preferably 90% or more as specified by ISO 16620 or ASTM D6866, include products manufactured by Braskem under the trade names "SBC818," "SPB608," "SBF0323HC," "STN7006," "SEB853," and "SPB681," and films using these as raw materials can be suitably used.
[0162] Films and sheets containing starch, a biomass material, or polylactic acid are also known. These can be selected and used appropriately depending on the application.
[0163] The biomass film may be a laminate of multiple biomass films or a laminate of a conventional petroleum-based film and a biomass film. These biomass films may be unstretched or stretched, and their manufacturing method is not limited.
[0164] (Biodegradable Films) Specific examples of well-known biodegradable films include those made from commonly available biodegradable resins. Examples include polycaprolactone, polyvinyl alcohol, polyamide, cellulose ester, lactic acid-based polyester resins, aliphatic polyester resins, and aliphatic aromatic polyester resins. These biodegradable resins may be used alone or in combination. Among these, aliphatic polyester resins or aliphatic aromatic polyester resins are preferred. Examples of aliphatic polyester resins include aliphatic polyesters obtained by polycondensation of an aliphatic diol and an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid. Examples of aliphatic diols include ethylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, 1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, 1,4-cyclohexanediol, and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. These may be used alone or in mixtures. Of these, 1,4-butanediol is preferred. Examples of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids include oxalic acid, succinic acid, glutaric acid, adipic acid, sebacic acid, suberic acid, and dodecanedioic acid, and acid anhydrides derived from these may also be used. Among these, succinic acid or succinic anhydride, or a mixture of these with adipic acid, is preferred. Specific examples include polybutylene succinate (PBS) obtained from 1,4-butanediol and succinic acid (e.g., BioPBS manufactured by PPT MCC Biochem), and polybutylene succinate adipate (PBSA) obtained by copolymerizing PBS with adipic acid.
[0165] Aliphatic aromatic polyester resins include copolymers containing aliphatic dicarboxylic acid units, aromatic dicarboxylic acid units, and linear aliphatic and / or alicyclic diol units. The diol component that provides the diol units typically has 2 to 10 carbon atoms, such as ethylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol. Among these, diols with 2 to 4 carbon atoms are preferred, with ethylene glycol and 1,4-butanediol being preferred, and 1,4-butanediol being even more preferred. The dicarboxylic acid component that provides the dicarboxylic acid units typically has 2 to 10 carbon atoms, such as succinic acid, adipic acid, suberic acid, sebacic acid, and dodecanedioic acid. Of these, succinic acid or adipic acid is preferred. Examples of aromatic dicarboxylic acid components that provide aromatic dicarboxylic acid units include terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, and naphthalenedicarboxylic acid. Among these, terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid are preferred, and terephthalic acid is more preferred.Specific examples include PBAT, which is a copolymer of 1,4-butanediol, adipic acid, and terephthalic acid (for example, Ecoflex manufactured by BASF Co., Ltd.).
[0166] Other examples include poly(3-hydroxyalkanoates) which are aliphatic polyester copolymers obtained from hydroxyalkanoic acids and polycarboxylic acids (particularly, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate) (PHBH) (e.g., Aonilex manufactured by Kaneka Corporation), and polylactic acid (PLA) (e.g., REVODE manufactured by Kaisei Biomaterials Co., Ltd., and Ingeo manufactured by NatureWorks).
[0167] The biodegradable film may be a laminate of multiple biodegradable films or a laminate of a conventional petroleum-based film and a biodegradable film. These biodegradable films may be unstretched or stretched, and there are no limitations on the manufacturing method.
[0168] The film may be one that has been subjected to a stretching treatment. A typical stretching method involves melt-extruding a resin into a sheet using an extrusion film-forming method or the like, followed by simultaneous biaxial stretching or sequential biaxial stretching. In the case of sequential biaxial stretching, it is common to first perform longitudinal stretching and then transverse stretching. Specifically, a method that combines longitudinal stretching utilizing the speed difference between rolls and transverse stretching using a tenter is often used.
[0169] The film surface may be subjected to various surface treatments such as flame treatment and corona discharge treatment as necessary so that an adhesive layer without defects such as film breakage or repellency is formed.
[0170] Alternatively, a film laminated with a vapor-deposited layer of a metal such as aluminum or a metal oxide such as silica or alumina, or a barrier film containing a gas barrier layer of polyvinyl alcohol, an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, vinylidene chloride, etc. Use of such a film can provide a laminate with barrier properties against water vapor, oxygen, alcohol, inert gases, volatile organic compounds (fragrances), etc.
[0171] The paper can be made from any known paper base material without any particular limitations. Specifically, it is produced using natural fibers for papermaking, such as wood pulp, on a known papermaking machine, but the papermaking conditions are not particularly specified. Examples of natural fibers for papermaking include wood pulp, such as softwood pulp and hardwood pulp; non-wood pulp, such as Manila hemp pulp, sisal hemp pulp, and flax pulp; and pulp obtained by chemically modifying these pulps. Examples of pulp that can be used include chemical pulp produced by sulfate cooking, acidic, neutral, or alkaline sulfite cooking, soda cooking, ground pulp, chemi-ground pulp, and thermomechanical pulp. Various commercially available fine paper, coated paper, lined paper, impregnated paper, cardboard, and paperboard can also be used.

A printing layer may be provided on either side of the substrate (the surface of the substrate facing the coating layer or the surface of the substrate opposite the coating layer) or on the coating layer (the surface of the coating layer opposite the substrate). The printing layer is formed using various printing inks such as gravure ink, flexographic ink, offset ink, stencil ink, and inkjet ink by a general printing method that has traditionally been used for printing on polymer films and paper.
[0174] Examples of metal-vapor-deposited unstretched films used in structure (2) include CPP films, LLDPE films, and VM-CPP films and VM-LLDPE films, which are gas-barrier heat-sealable films vapor-deposited with a metal such as aluminum.
