Description

Laminate, packaging material, and recycling method

[0001] The present invention relates to a laminate with excellent recyclability, a packaging material using the laminate, and a method for recycling the laminate and the packaging material.

[0002] Due to the mandatory recycling of plastic containers and packaging, plastic waste, including food packaging, has been collected, separated, and reused. There are many different types of plastic waste, including those made from synthetic resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene (styrofoam), polyethylene terephthalate, and polyvinyl chloride, as well as laminated films made by laminating these synthetic resin films with metal foils such as aluminum foil and applying product names or other decorative features with printing inks. These types of waste are often mixed together when collected as garbage.

[0003] Generally, waste plastics containing a mixture of thermoplastic and thermosetting resins can be recycled by separating them based on their specific gravity, but the ease of recovery varies depending on the resin. Furthermore, many packaging materials, including those used for food packaging, are made by bonding different synthetic resins together with adhesives, making separation difficult using this method. It is generally believed that recycling thermosetting resins is difficult due to their low thermal decomposition rate. Laminated films decorated with product names and other markings printed in ink cannot be completely separated during the recycling process, and recycled products may be discolored or retain the printed pattern.

[0004] As a method for treating such composite waste and separating and recovering each component, Patent Document 1 discloses a method for separating and recovering composite plastic waste, which comprises the steps of using triethylene glycol as a separating solvent, adding an alkali metal hydroxide as a catalyst, heating the triethylene glycol to 250 to 280°C, which is close to the boiling point of 200°C or more, and melting a component P1 that is soluble in triethylene glycol, dissolving or depolymerizing a component P2 that is difficult to melt under stirring in triethylene glycol heated to 250 to 280°C and discharging it together with the solvent, recovering the remaining soluble component P1 and reinforcing fiber F or metal component M, recovering the non-melted component P2 and the separating solvent, distilling the separating solvent under reduced pressure to separate it from the non-melted component P2, purifying it, and reusing it.

[0005] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-110531

[0006] In order to peel the laminated film under milder conditions, it has been considered to provide a removable primer layer between the film and the adhesive layer (or printing layer). However, providing such a primer layer may reduce the adhesive strength between the films. Alternatively, depending on the type of resin used to form the primer layer, it may be difficult to efficiently form the primer layer using a conventional manufacturing method.

[0007] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a laminate that can be peeled off under mild conditions, has excellent adhesive strength, and can be produced by a general-purpose method, a method for recycling the laminate, and recycled plastics obtained from the laminate.

[0008] The present invention relates to a laminate comprising a first substrate, a second substrate, an adhesive layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a first resin layer disposed between the first substrate and the adhesive layer, wherein the first resin layer comprises a first vinyl alcohol-based polymer and a first polyalkyleneimine, the first vinyl alcohol-based polymer being soluble in a 1:1 (mass ratio) solution of water and ethanol at 25°C at a concentration of 5% by mass or more, and wherein a solution in which the vinyl alcohol-based polymer is dissolved in a 1:1 (mass ratio) solution of water and ethanol at 5% by mass has a viscosity at 25°C of 200 mPa s or less, and the first resin layer has a glass transition temperature of 40°C or higher and 80°C or lower.

[0009] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a laminate that can be peeled off under mild conditions, has excellent adhesive strength, and can be produced by a general-purpose method, a method for recycling the laminate, and recycled plastics obtained from the laminate.

[0010] <Laminate> The laminate of the present invention includes a first substrate, a second substrate, an adhesive layer disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, and a first resin layer disposed between the first substrate and the adhesive layer. The laminate of the present invention will be described in detail below.

[0011] (First substrate) The first substrate can be any film or sheet (unless otherwise specified below, film is a general term for film and sheet) that has excellent chemical and physical strength. Examples of the first substrate include polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, polystyrene film, polyamide film, polyacrylonitrile film, polyethylene film (LLDPE: low-density polyethylene film, HDPE: high-density polyethylene film, MDOPE: uniaxially oriented polyethylene film, OPE: biaxially oriented polyethylene film), polypropylene film (CPP: unstretched polypropylene film, OPP: biaxially oriented polypropylene film), ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, polyolefin film such as a gas barrier film having an olefin-based heat-sealable resin layer on one or both sides of a resin having gas barrier properties such as polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl alcohol film, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer film, etc.

[0012] It is also preferable to use a film made of a material containing biomass-derived components. Biomass films are commercially available from various companies, and for example, sheets such as those listed in the list of biomass-certified products listed by the Japan Organics Recycling Association can be used.

[0013] Specifically, well-known films are 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.

[0014] Alternatively, products using 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 1012 particles, and this rate is the same for atmospheric carbon dioxide, so this rate remains the same even in plants that fix this 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. 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.

[0015] 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.

[0016] 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.

[0017] Alternatively, inorganic vapor-deposited films such as metal vapor-deposited films on which a metal layer such as aluminum is vapor-deposited, transparent vapor-deposited films on which a vapor-deposited layer of a metal oxide such as silica or alumina is laminated, or barrier films containing a gas barrier layer such as polyvinyl alcohol, an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, vinylidene chloride, etc. Such films are preferred because, when a basic compound is contained in a stripping solution for separating the laminate in the recycling step described below, the vapor-deposited layer is easily dissolved in the stripping solution, making it easier to strip the printed layer and adhesive from the resin film.

[0018] The thickness of the first substrate is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately selected in the range of 1 to 300 μm, preferably 1 to 100 μm, from the viewpoints of formability and transparency.

[0019] (Second substrate) The second substrate can be the same as the first substrate. In one embodiment of the present invention, the second substrate is a film (sealant film) having heat-sealability that can be melted by heat and fused to each other, and the first substrate is a substrate that is not expected to function as a sealant film. In another embodiment of the present invention, the second substrate is a film in which a film without heat-sealability and a resin layer (heat-seal layer) having heat-sealability are laminated, and the first substrate is a substrate that is not expected to function as a sealant film.

[0020] Examples of heat-sealable resins include polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, medium-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ionomer resin, ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid copolymer, ethylene-ethyl(meth)acrylate copolymer, ethylene-propylene copolymer, methylpentene polymer, modified olefin resins such as polyethylene or polypropylene modified with acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic anhydride, fumaric acid, or other unsaturated carboxylic acids, ethylene-(meth)acrylic acid ester-unsaturated carboxylic acid terpolymers, cyclic polyolefins, cyclic olefin copolymers, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers, polyvinyl alcohol, and other gas-barrier resins, and gas-sealable heat-sealable films having an olefin-based heat-sealable resin layer on one or both sides thereof. Films, sheets, and other coating films made of one or more of these resins can be used as sealant films.

[0021] As the sealant film, any of unstretched, uniaxially stretched and biaxially stretched films can be used.

[0022] A biaxially stretched film can be obtained by, for example, longitudinally stretching the film to 2 to 4 times its original size using a roll stretching machine at 50 to 100° C., then transversely stretching the film to 3 to 5 times its original size using a tenter stretching machine in an atmosphere at 90 to 150° C., and subsequently heat-treating the film using the tenter stretching machine in an atmosphere at 100 to 240° C. Alternatively, a film that has been subjected to simultaneous biaxial stretching or sequential biaxial stretching may also be used.

[0023] An easily peelable sealant film (easy peel film) may be used as the sealant film. Any of the interfacial peeling type, cohesive peeling type, and interlayer peeling type sealant films can be used, and can be appropriately selected depending on the type and required properties of the packaging material described below. The index of easy peelability is appropriately set depending on the type and required properties of the packaging material, and an example is a seal strength of 2 to 20 N / 15 mm. For example, easy peelability can be achieved by a phase-separated polymer blend that combines polypropylene with high-density polyethylene, low-density polyethylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, or the like.

[0024] When the second substrate is a film in which a film without heat sealing properties and a resin layer (heat sealing layer) with heat sealing properties are laminated, the second substrate can be, for example, a film without heat sealing properties coated with a heat sealing agent containing a resin with heat sealing properties.

[0025] Examples of heat-sealable resins include thermoplastic resins such as shellacs, rosins, rosin-modified maleic acid resins, rosin-modified phenolic resins, nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetyl propionate, cellulose acetyl butyrate, chlorinated rubber, cyclized rubber, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, polyamide resins, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymers, polyester resins, ketone resins, butyral resins, chlorinated polypropylene resins, chlorinated polyethylene resins, chlorinated ethylene vinyl acetate resins, ethylene vinyl acetate resins, acrylic resins, urethane resins, ethylene-vinyl alcohol resins, styrene-maleic acid resins, casein, and alkyd resins, and these may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0026] The heat sealing agent may be in any form, such as a type in which these resins are dissolved in an organic solvent, a type in which these resins are dissolved in water or an aqueous organic solvent, or an emulsion type in which an acrylic emulsion, a urethane emulsion, a polyvinyl alcohol resin, an ethylene-vinyl alcohol emulsion, an ethylene-methacrylic acid emulsion, a polyolefin emulsion, an ethylene vinyl acetate emulsion, or the like is dispersed in water or an aqueous organic solvent.

[0027] The organic solvent is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include various organic solvents such as aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene, xylene, Solvesso #100, and Solvesso #150; aliphatic hydrocarbons such as hexane, heptane, octane, and decane; and esters such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, butyl acetate, amyl acetate, ethyl formate, and butyl propionate.

[0028] Examples of aqueous organic solvents include alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, and butanol; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and cyclohexanone; and glycol ethers such as ethylene glycol (mono, di)methyl ether, ethylene glycol (mono, di)ethyl ether, ethylene glycol monopropyl ether, ethylene glycol monoisopropyl ether, monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol (mono, di)methyl ether, diethylene glycol (mono, di)ethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoisopropyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, triethylene glycol (mono, di)methyl ether, propylene glycol (mono, di)methyl ether, propylene glycol monopropyl ether, propylene glycol monobutyl ether, and dipropylene glycol (mono, di)methyl ether.

[0029] The heat-sealing agent may contain components other than the heat-sealable resin and solvent, such as wax, filler, antifoaming agent, viscosity modifier, leveling agent, tackifier, preservative, antibacterial agent, rust inhibitor, antioxidant, etc.

[0030] The heat sealing agent can be applied by any known method, such as a roll coater, gravure coater, flexo coater, air doctor coater, blade coater, air knife coater, squeeze coater, impregnation coater, transfer roll coater, kiss coater, curtain coater, cast coater, spray coater, die coater, offset printing machine, screen printing machine, etc. After coating, a drying step in an oven or the like can be performed.

[0031] The thickness of the heat seal layer (the amount of heat sealant applied (solid content)) may be any value. For example, it is 0.5 g / m 2 ~5g / m 2 is.

[0032] The thickness of the second substrate can be selected arbitrarily, but when applied to a packaging material as described below, it is selected in the range of 5 to 500 μm, more preferably 10 to 250 μm, and even more preferably 15 to 100 μm.

[0033] The second substrate may have a vapor-deposited metal layer such as aluminum or a vapor-deposited inorganic layer such as aluminum oxide or silica.

[0034] (Adhesive Layer) The adhesive layer is a layer that bonds the first substrate and the second substrate via the first resin layer described below and any optional layer provided as needed. The adhesive layer can be provided using, for example, but is not limited to, (1) a two-component curing urethane adhesive containing a polyol composition and a polyisocyanate composition (1), (2) a multi-component, solvent-free adhesive containing an oil or fat containing an acid anhydride group and a curing agent having a reactive group that can react with the acid anhydride group, and forming an adhesive layer by the reaction and curing of these (2), (3) an adhesive containing an olefin resin modified with an acid and / or a hydroxyl group as the main component (3), or (4) a polyurethane-based, polyolefin-based, polyethyleneimine-based, or epoxy resin-based anchor coating agent (4).

[0035] (Adhesive (1)) The polyol composition of the adhesive (1) contains polyols such as polyester polyols, polyether polyols, vegetable oil polyols, polyurethane polyols, sugar alcohols, etc. These polyols can also be used in combination of two or more.

[0036] Examples of polyester polyols include polyester polyols which are reaction products of polyhydric alcohols and polycarboxylic acids, and lactone-based polyester polyols obtained by polycondensation reaction of aliphatic polyols with various lactones such as ε-caprolactone. It is preferable to use polyester polyols which are reaction products of polyhydric alcohols and polycarboxylic acids.

[0039] Examples of such polyether polyols include polyether polyols obtained by ring-opening polymerization of an aliphatic diol or polyol with various cyclic ether bond-containing compounds such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, tetrahydrofuran, ethyl glycidyl ether, propyl glycidyl ether, butyl glycidyl ether, phenyl glycidyl ether, and allyl glycidyl ether. These polyether polyols may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0040] Examples of polycarboxylic acids include aliphatic dicarboxylic acids such as succinic acid, adipic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, dodecanedicarboxylic acid, maleic anhydride, fumaric acid, 1,3-cyclopentanedicarboxylic acid, and 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid; aromatic dicarboxylic acids such as orthophthalic acid, isophthalic acid, terephthalic acid, 1,4-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 2,5-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, naphthalic acid, biphenyldicarboxylic acid, and 1,2-bis(phenoxy)ethane-p,p'-dicarboxylic acid; and anhydrides or ester-forming derivatives of these aliphatic or dicarboxylic acids; and polybasic acids such as p-hydroxybenzoic acid, p-(2-hydroxyethoxy)benzoic acid, and ester-forming derivatives of these dihydroxycarboxylic acids, and dimer acid, and these may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0041] The molecular weight of the polyester polyol is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 250 g / mol to 20,000 g / mol. The hydroxyl value of the polyester polyol is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 5 mgKOH / g to 500 mgKOH / g.

[0055] The polyol used in the synthesis of the urethane prepolymer may be the same as the polyhydric alcohols exemplified as raw materials for the polyester polyols described above, and may be used alone or in combination of two or more. It is preferable to use at least one polyalkylene glycol or polyester polyol having a molecular weight of 200 to 3000 g / mol.

[0056] The adhesive (1) used in the present invention may be solvent-based or solventless. In this specification, a solvent-based adhesive refers to a polyol composition and a polyisocyanate composition that contain highly soluble organic solvents such as esters such as ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, and cellosolve acetate; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, isobutyl ketone, and cyclohexanone; ethers such as tetrahydrofuran and dioxane; aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and xylene; halogenated hydrocarbons such as methylene chloride and ethylene chloride; dimethyl sulfoxide and dimethyl sulfamide; and a solventless adhesive refers to a composition that is substantially free of these organic solvents. When the organic solvents used as reaction media during the production of the components of the polyol composition and polyisocyanate composition or their raw materials cannot be completely removed, leaving trace amounts of organic solvent remaining in the polyol composition and polyisocyanate composition, the adhesive is considered to be substantially free of organic solvent. Furthermore, when the polyol composition contains a low-molecular-weight alcohol, the low-molecular-weight alcohol reacts with the polyisocyanate composition to become part of the coating film, and therefore does not need to be volatilized after coating. Therefore, this type of adhesive is also treated as a solvent-free adhesive, and the low-molecular-weight alcohol is not considered an organic solvent.

[0057] The adhesive (1) used in the present invention may contain components other than the above-mentioned components, such as a urethanization catalyst, an acid anhydride, a coupling agent, a pigment, a plasticizer, a phosphoric acid derivative, etc. These components may be contained in either or both of the polyol composition and the polyisocyanate composition, or may be prepared separately from these and then mixed with the polyol composition and the polyisocyanate composition immediately before application of the adhesive (1).

[0058] The adhesive (1) is preferably used by blending the polyisocyanate composition (Y) with the polyol composition (X) so that the ratio [NCO] / [OH] of the number of moles of isocyanate groups [NCO] to the number of moles of hydroxyl groups [OH] is 0.5 to 3.0.

[0059] In one embodiment of the present invention, the adhesive layer is a cured coating film of such adhesive (1). The adhesive is applied to either the first substrate or the second substrate, either directly or via a first resin layer or any other layer that is optionally provided, and then the substrate is laminated to the other substrate, followed by aging treatment to form the adhesive layer. As an example, the aging temperature is room temperature to 70°C, and the aging time is 6 to 240 hours. The amount of adhesive (1) applied is adjusted as appropriate, but as an example, it is 1 g / m 2 5g / m or more 2 The following is the result.

[0060] (Adhesive (2)) The fat or oil containing an acid anhydride group of adhesive (2) can be obtained, for example, by adding an acid anhydride group-containing compound to fat or oil. Fat or oil containing an acid anhydride group is preferably obtained by introducing an acid anhydride group into fat or oil containing a double bond derived from an unsaturated fatty acid in its chemical structure.

[0061] Oils and fats containing double bonds derived from unsaturated fatty acids in their chemical structure are preferably drying oils (iodine value >130) and / or semi-drying oils (iodine value 100-130). Examples of vegetable oils include tung oil, linseed oil, perilla oil, safflower oil, dehydrated castor oil, safflower oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil, rice oil, cottonseed oil, corn oil, tall oil, poppy oil, walnut oil, and pine seed oil. Examples of animal oils include fish oils (sardine oil, saury oil, herring oil, etc.). In addition, in the present invention, recycled vegetable oils recovered and recycled after being used for cooking, such as tempura oil, can also be used. Among these oils and fats, tung oil, soybean oil, and linseed oil are preferred due to their ease of availability. Furthermore, oils and fats of the grade known as "shirarein oil" or "salad oil," which are refined so as not to crystallize even at low temperatures for long periods of time, are preferably used.

[0062] As the acid anhydride group-containing compound used for introducing the acid anhydride group, a compound having a double bond in the molecule can be used, and examples thereof include maleic anhydride, citraconic anhydride, and tetrahydrophthalic anhydride. Among these, maleic anhydride is preferred for use in view of ease of introduction and the reactivity of the acid anhydride group.

[0063] The amount of acid anhydride groups introduced into fats and oils can be adjusted as appropriate. To explain the case of introducing maleic anhydride as an example, the amount of maleic anhydride introduced is, for example, 19 to 34 g (0.19 to 0.35 mol) of maleic anhydride, more preferably 22 to 29 g (0.22 to 0.30 mol) per 100 g of fats and oils.

[0064] Various acids may be used in combination with fats and oils containing an acid anhydride group, such as hydroxycarboxylic acids such as citric acid, isocitric acid, malic acid, and tartaric acid, phosphoric acid, monoalkyl phosphate esters, dialkyl phosphate esters, acetic acid, alkyl (C2-18) monocarboxylic acids, and dimer acids. These may be added when the acid anhydride is added to the fats and oils, or may be added after the addition reaction is complete.

[0065] Examples of curing agents having a reactive group capable of reacting with an acid anhydride group include nitrogen-containing compounds such as tertiary amine-containing polyols, amino alcohols, amide polyols, and polyamines, as well as compounds having a hydroxyl group.

Only one nitrogen-containing compound may be used, or multiple nitrogen-containing compounds may be used in combination. The nitrogen-containing compound not only contributes to the formation of a cured adhesive as a curing agent, but also, when the curing agent contains a hydroxyl group-containing oil-containing compound, the nitrogen contained in the structure acts as a catalyst that promotes the reaction between the acid anhydride group and the hydroxyl group, thereby improving the curing rate.

Such components include, but are not limited to, catalysts, coupling agents, acid anhydrides, hydroxycarboxylic acids, oxygen scavengers, phosphoric acids, pigments, tackifiers, stabilizers (antioxidants, heat stabilizers, UV absorbers, etc.), plasticizers, antistatic agents, lubricants, antiblocking agents, colorants, crystal nucleating agents, antifoaming agents, leveling agents, etc. These components may be contained in only one of the first composition and the second composition described below, or in both.

Among these, maleic anhydride is particularly preferred because of its excellent reactivity with olefin-based monomers, the excellent reactivity of the acid anhydride after copolymerization, and the low molecular weight of the compound itself, resulting in a high functional group concentration when copolymerized. These may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0134] Examples of polymerizable compounds copolymerizable with vinyl esters include ethylene, propene, 1-butene, isobutylene, 1,3-butadiene, isopropenyl acetate, 2-propenyl acetate, 3,4-diacetoxy-1-butene, 2,2-dialkyl-4-vinyl-1,3-dioxolanes such as 2,2-dimethyl-4-vinyl-1,3-dioxolane, 3,4-dihydroxy-1-butene, 3,4-diacyloxy-1-butene, 3-acyloxy-4-hydroxy-1-butene, 4-acyloxy-3-hydroxy-1-butene, 3,4-diacyloxy-2-methyl-1-butene, 4,5-dihydroxy-1-pentene, 4,5-diacyloxy-1-pentene, 4,5 3,4-diacyloxy-1-butenes such as 5,6-dihydroxy-1-hexene and 5,6-diacyloxy-1-hexene, styrene, α-methylstyrene, vinyl chloride, acrylonitrile, maleic anhydride, methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, N-vinyl-N-methylformamide, vinylacetamide, N-vinylformamide, N-(hydroxymethyl)-N-vinylformamide, hydroxyethyl acrylate, methyl vinyl ketone, and diacetone acrylamide, and these may be used alone or in combination of two or more. Among these, it is preferable to use at least one selected from ethylene, propene, isopropenyl acetate, 2-propenyl acetate, 3,4-diacetoxy-1-butene, and 2,2-dialkyl-4-vinyl-1,3-dioxolane.

[0135] When a vinyl ester and a polymerizable compound are used in combination, the amounts used can be adjusted as appropriate. For example, the amount of the polymerizable compound blended is 1 mol % to 40 mol %, as another example, 1 mol % to 20 mol %, and as another example, 1 mol % to 15 mol %, of the total amount of the vinyl ester and the polymerizable compound.

[0136] The first vinyl alcohol polymer may be acetalized. Examples of the aldehyde used for acetalization include aliphatic aldehydes such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propylaldehyde, butylaldehyde, octylaldehyde, and dodecylaldehyde; alicyclic aldehydes such as cyclohexanecarbaldehyde; aromatic aldehydes such as benzaldehyde, naphthaldehyde, anthraldehyde, phenylacetaldehyde, tolualdehyde, dimethylbenzaldehyde, cuminaldehyde, and benzylaldehyde; cyclohexene aldehyde, dimethylcyclohexene aldehyde, acrylonitrile, and the like; Examples of the aldehyde include unsaturated aldehydes such as chlorine; aldehydes having a heterocycle such as furfural and 5-methylfurfural; hemiacetals such as glucose and glucosamine; and aldehydes having an amino group such as 4-aminobutyraldehyde. In addition, aliphatic ketones such as 2-propanone, methyl ethyl ketone, 3-pentanone, and 2-hexanone; alicyclic ketones such as cyclopentanone and cyclohexanone; and aromatic ketones such as acetophenone and benzophenone can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0137] As the acid catalyst used in the acetalization, conventionally known organic or inorganic acids such as acetic acid, paratoluenesulfonic acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and hydrochloric acid can be used.

[0138] The weight average molecular weight of the vinyl alcohol polymer is, for example, 3,000 to 500,000, more preferably 5,000 to 100,000, and even more preferably 10,000 to 80,000.

[0139] In the present invention, the first vinyl alcohol polymer is one that is soluble in a 1:1 (mass ratio) solution of water and ethanol at 25° C. to a concentration of 5% by mass or more, and in which a solution of the vinyl alcohol polymer dissolved in the 1:1 (mass ratio) solution of water and ethanol at 5% by mass has a viscosity of 200 mPa s or less at 25° C. If the vinyl alcohol polymer is dissolved in the 1:1 (mass ratio) solution of water and ethanol and left to stand at 25° C. for one day, and no precipitate or gel-like substance is found, the vinyl alcohol polymer is determined to be dissolved.

[0140] While vinyl alcohol-based polymers have excellent solubility in water, many have low solubility in low-molecular-weight alcohols such as ethanol, and such vinyl alcohol-based polymers are only slightly soluble in a cosolvent of water and ethanol. In the present invention, a polymer with excellent solubility in a cosolvent of water and ethanol is selected and used. This allows the coating agent used to form the first resin layer to have excellent coatability even at high solids contents, enabling the efficient formation of a coating film of an appropriate thickness for the first resin layer. Furthermore, less energy is required to volatilize the solvent from the coating agent during the formation of the first resin layer, thereby reducing the environmental impact. The solubility of a vinyl alcohol-based polymer in low-molecular-weight alcohols can be adjusted, for example, by incorporating a skeleton that increases solubility in alcohol into the main chain by using ethylene or propylene with a vinyl ester, or by using 3,4-diacetoxy-1-butene with a vinyl ester to introduce hydroxyl groups into the side chain, or by adjusting the molecular weight, butyralization, and saponification degree of the vinyl alcohol-based polymer. The saponification degree of the vinyl alcohol-based polymer can be adjusted as appropriate, but is, for example, 90% or higher.

[0141] The first polyalkyleneimine is a resin having a polyalkyleneimine skeleton, and is obtained by polymerizing one or more alkyleneimines (for example, ethyleneimine, propyleneimine) by a conventional method.

[0142] The first polyalkyleneimine may be a linear polyalkyleneimine having a linear polyalkyleneimine chain, or a branched polyalkyleneimine having a branched polyalkyleneimine chain. Examples of polyalkyleneimines include polyethyleneimine and polypropyleneimine. The polyalkyleneimine may have a substituent (e.g., a hydroxypropyl group or a hydroxyethyl group) introduced into at least some of the nitrogen atoms of the polyalkyleneimine chain. Polyalkyleneimines modified with organometallic compounds such as tetraisopropyl titanate, tetra-normal-butyl titanate, butyl titanate dimer, tetra(2-ethylhexyl) titanate, tetramethyl titanate, polyhydroxytitanium stearate, titanium bisacetylacetonate, titanium tetraacetylacetonate, polytitanium acetylacetonate, titanium octylene glycolate, titanium ethylacetoacetate, titanium lactate, titanium triethanolamine, and titanium stearate may also be used, and two or more polyalkyleneimines may also be used in combination.

[0143] The first polyalkyleneimine has an amino group (NHR group, NH 2 It is believed that the ethylene group and the ethylene group contribute to improving the adhesion between the vinyl alcohol polymer and the olefin film, and since this is effective in improving the adhesion, it is preferable that the polyalkyleneimine contains a branched polyalkyleneimine.

[0144] The number average molecular weight of the first polyalkyleneimine is, for example, from 5,000 to 100,000. The number average molecular weight of the polyalkyleneimine is measured by GPC (gel permeation chromatography) using pullulan as a standard substance.

[0145] From the viewpoint of the balance between the adhesive strength of the laminate and the suppression of blocking when the first resin layer is wound up after being formed, it is preferable that the amount of the first polyalkylimine in the first resin layer be 1 mass % or more and 25 mass % or less of the total amount of the first vinyl alcohol-based polymer and the first polyalkylimine.

[0146] The first resin layer may contain a resin other than the first vinyl alcohol polymer and the first polyalkylimine. Examples of such resins include cellulose resins, polyesters, polyurethanes, vinyl resins such as homopolymers or copolymers of olefins or styrenes, acrylic resins, epoxy resins, amide resins, natural rubber, and composites thereof (e.g., core-shell resins). The content of these resins is preferably kept to 10% by mass or less of the total amount of the first vinyl alcohol polymer and the first polyalkyleneimine. More preferably, it is 5% by mass or less, and even 1% by mass or less. It may even be 0% by mass.

[0147] The first resin layer has a glass transition temperature of 40°C or higher and 80°C or lower. This prevents blocking when the substrate is wound up after the first resin layer is formed, and allows for a laminate with excellent adhesive strength and recyclability. The glass transition temperature of the first resin layer can be adjusted by the first vinyl alcohol polymer and first polyalkyleneimine used, their compounding ratios, etc. The glass transition temperature of the first resin layer is more preferably 50°C or higher and more preferably 70°C or lower.

[0148] The first resin layer is formed, for example, by applying a coating agent containing a first vinyl alcohol polymer, a first polyalkyleneimine, and an aqueous solvent onto the first substrate, and then drying the solvent.

[0149] The aqueous solvent may be water, a water-soluble organic solvent that dissolves in water, or the like. As the water, pure water or ultrapure water such as ion-exchanged water, ultrafiltered water, reverse osmosis water, or distilled water may be used. From the viewpoint of long-term storage, it is preferable to use water that has been sterilized by ultraviolet irradiation or the addition of hydrogen peroxide, for example, in order to prevent the growth of mold or bacteria.

[0150] Examples of water-soluble organic solvents include glycols such as ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, and polypropylene glycol; diols such as butanediol, pentanediol, and hexanediol; glycol esters such as propylene glycol laurate; diethylene glycol ethers such as diethylene glycol monoethyl, diethylene glycol monobutyl, diethylene glycol monohexyl, and carbitol; glycol ethers such as cellosolves containing propylene glycol ether, dipropylene glycol ether, and triethylene glycol ether; alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol, 2-butanol, butyl alcohol, and pentyl alcohol; lactones such as sulfolane, esters, ketones, and γ-butyrolactone; lactams such as N-(2-hydroxyethyl)pyrrolidone; and various other solvents known as aqueous organic solvents, such as glycerin and its polyalkylene oxide adducts. These aqueous organic solvents can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0151] The coating agent used to form the first resin layer may further contain additives, such as a crosslinking agent capable of reacting with a functional group possessed by the first vinyl alcohol polymer or the first polyalkylimine, an inorganic filler, an antifoaming agent, a leveling agent, a stabilizer (such as an antioxidant, a heat stabilizer, or an ultraviolet absorber), a plasticizer, an antistatic agent, a lubricant, an antiblocking agent, a colorant, or a leveling agent.

[0152] Examples of crosslinking agents include aldehydes such as formalin and glutaraldehyde; acetals such as diacetalized products of glutaraldehyde; aliphatic polyisocyanates such as hexamethylene diisocyanate and its derivatives (adduct, nurate, biuret, etc.), aromatic aliphatic polyisocyanates such as xylylene diisocyanate and its derivatives, aromatic polyisocyanates such as toluene diisocyanate and its derivatives, and isocyanates such as urethane prepolymers which are reaction products of these isocyanates with polyols; epoxies; titanium, silicon, aluminum, zirconium, Examples of the isocyanate include organometallic compounds of boron or the like with alkoxides or the like; methylol ureas such as methylol urea and methylol melamine; carboxyl group-containing polymers such as polyacrylic acid polymers and maleic anhydride polymers; carbodiimides such as p-phenylene-bis(2,6-xylylcarbodiimide), tetramethylene-bis(t-butylcarbodiimide), and cyclohexane-1,4-bis(methylene-t-butylcarbodiimide); boric acid; and titanium lactate. As the isocyanate, a blocked isocyanate using a known blocking agent or an emulsion-type isocyanate may be used.

[0153] The use of a crosslinking agent is expected to improve adhesion to an olefin-based substrate. The amount of the crosslinking agent is, for example, 5 parts by mass or more and 50 parts by mass or less per 100 parts by mass of the total amount of the first vinyl alcohol-based polymer and the first polyalkyleneimine.

[0154] The resin content of the coating agent, including the first vinyl alcohol polymer and the first polyalkyleneimine, can be appropriately adjusted, but is, for example, 7.5 mass% or more. The solid content of the coating agent is not particularly limited, but is adjusted so that the viscosity at 25°C does not exceed 300 mPa s.

[0155] The method for applying the coating agent is not particularly limited, and examples that can be used include spraying, spin coating, dipping, roll coating, blade coating, doctor roll coating, doctor blade coating, curtain coating, slit coating, screen printing, inkjet printing, dispensing, die coating, direct gravure, reverse gravure, flexography, knife coating, and dot coating.

[0156] The film thickness of the first resin layer can be adjusted as appropriate, but is, for example, 0.1 μm or more and 2.0 μm or less.

[0157] (Printed Layer) The laminate of the present invention may include layers other than the first substrate, the second substrate, the adhesive layer, and the first resin layer. An example of such a layer is a printed layer. The printed layer is a layer on which characters, figures, symbols, or other desired designs are printed using printing ink between the first substrate and the adhesive layer, or on the surface of the first substrate opposite the adhesive layer. When the printed layer is disposed between the first substrate and the adhesive layer, it is preferable that the printed layer be disposed between the first resin layer and the adhesive layer. This allows the printed layer to be easily removed along with the peeling of the adhesive, resulting in a recycled plastic with a higher purity, as described below.

[0158] The printing method and printing ink are not particularly limited, and known printing methods and printing inks can be used. Printing inks using methods such as gravure printing, flexographic printing, lithographic offset printing, and inkjet recording printing are often used for the films used as the substrate. Printing inks that combine these printing methods with methods of curing using active energy rays such as ultraviolet (UV), LED, and electron beam (EB), or methods of curing using heat, are also used. Depending on the solvent used, inks may be referred to as aqueous inks or organic solvent-based inks.

[0159] Specific examples include gravure printing ink, flexographic printing ink (in some industries, gravure printing ink and flexographic printing ink are sometimes called liquid ink), ultraviolet-curable ink for lithographic offset printing, electron beam-curable ink for lithographic offset printing, ultraviolet-curable ink for inkjet recording and printing, electron beam-curable ink for inkjet recording and printing, etc. Biomass inks made from biomass raw materials are also used as appropriate.

[0160] The printing ink may contain a resin, a colorant, and a solvent as essential components, or may be a so-called clear ink that contains a resin and a solvent but does not substantially contain a colorant. The printing layer may be provided on the entire surface of the first substrate, or may be provided only on a part of the surface.

[0161] Taking the case where the printing ink is gravure printing ink or flexographic printing ink as an example, the resin used in the printing ink is not particularly limited and includes, for example, acrylic resin, polyester resin, styrene resin, styrene-maleic acid resin, maleic acid resin, polyamide resin, polyurethane resin, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer resin, vinyl chloride-acrylic copolymer resin, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin, vinyl acetate resin, polyvinyl chloride resin, chlorinated polypropylene resin, cellulose-based resin, epoxy resin, alkyd resin, rosin-based resin, rosin-modified maleic acid resin, ketone resin, cyclized rubber, chlorinated rubber, butyral, petroleum resin, etc., and one or more of these can be used in combination. Preferably, at least one or two or more selected from polyurethane resin, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer resin, and cellulose-based resin are used.

[0162] Colorants used in printing inks include inorganic pigments such as titanium oxide, red iron oxide, antimony red, cadmium red, cadmium yellow, cobalt blue, Prussian blue, ultramarine, carbon black, and graphite; organic pigments such as soluble azo pigments, insoluble azo pigments, azo lake pigments, condensed azo pigments, copper phthalocyanine pigments, and condensed polycyclic pigments; and extender pigments such as calcium carbonate, kaolin clay, barium sulfate, aluminum hydroxide, and talc.

[0163] The organic solvent used in the printing ink preferably does not contain an aromatic hydrocarbon organic solvent. More specific examples include alcohol organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, and butanol, ketone organic solvents such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and methyl isobutyl ketone, ester organic solvents such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, and butyl acetate, aliphatic hydrocarbon organic solvents such as n-hexane, n-heptane, and n-octane, and alicyclic hydrocarbon organic solvents such as cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, ethylcyclohexane, cycloheptane, and cyclooctane, and these can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0164] In consideration of the establishment of a recycling-oriented society that should continue to develop (sustainability), it is also preferable that the liquid printing ink used in the present invention is a gravure printing ink or a flexographic printing ink that uses plant-derived raw materials.

[0165] Examples of plant-derived raw materials include cellulose resins such as cellulose acetate propionate resin and nitrocellulose; polyamide resins using dimer acids or polymerized fatty acids derived from natural oils such as soybean oil, palm oil, and rice bran oil; biomass polyurethanes synthesized from plant-derived raw materials such as polycarboxylic acids such as succinic acid, succinic anhydride, adipic acid, azelaic acid, sebacic acid, dimer acid, glutaric acid, and malic acid; polyols such as ethylene glycol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol, neopentyl glycol, pentylene glycol, 1,10-dodecanediol, dimer diol, and isosorbide; and polyisocyanates such as 1,5-pentamethylene diisocyanate and dimer diisocyanate; and rosin resins.

[0166] As the biomass gravure printing ink or flexographic printing ink, commercially available products listed by the Japan Organics Recycling Association can also be used.

In addition, a second resin layer containing a second vinyl alcohol polymer and a second polyalkyleneimine and having a glass transition temperature of 40 ° C. or more and 80 ° C. or less may be included between the second substrate and the adhesive layer. When a second resin layer is provided in addition to the first resin layer, the second resin layer and the second substrate are easily peeled off in the detachment step described below. In addition, the layers sandwiched between the first resin layer and the second resin layer, such as the printing layer and the adhesive layer, are not too finely divided after being peeled off from the first substrate and the second substrate, and can be easily recovered. In other words, this is preferable because it can be made into a laminate with better recyclability.

[0168] The second vinyl alcohol polymer can be the same as that described for the first vinyl alcohol polymer (that is, soluble in a 1:1 (mass ratio) solution of water and ethanol at 25°C at a concentration of 5% by mass or more, and the viscosity of a 5% by mass solution of the vinyl alcohol polymer in a 1:1 (mass ratio) solution of water and ethanol at 25°C is 200 mPa s or less).

[0171] (Third substrate, third resin layer, fourth resin layer) The laminate of the present invention may include a third substrate in addition to the first substrate and the second substrate. The third substrate can be the same as the first substrate. In one embodiment of the present invention, the second substrate is a film (sealant film) having heat sealability that can be melted by heat and fused to each other, and the first substrate and the third substrate are substrates that are not expected to function as sealant films. In another embodiment of the present invention, the first substrate, the second substrate, and the third substrate are all substrates that are not expected to function as sealant films.

[0172] When the laminate of the present invention includes a third substrate, the third substrate is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate, and the first substrate and the third substrate, and the third substrate and the second substrate are bonded together directly or via the first resin layer or other layers provided as necessary, using the same adhesive as described above. The adhesive layer disposed between the first substrate and the third substrate and the adhesive layer disposed between the third substrate and the second substrate may be formed of the same adhesive or may be formed of different adhesives.

[0173] A resin layer similar to the first resin layer (hereinafter also referred to as a third resin layer) may be provided between the third substrate and the adhesive layer on the surface of the third substrate facing the first substrate. A resin layer similar to the first resin layer (hereinafter also referred to as a fourth resin layer) may be provided between the third substrate and the adhesive layer on the surface of the third substrate facing the second substrate.

[0174] The third and fourth resin layers each contain a vinyl alcohol-based polymer (which is soluble in a 1:1 (mass ratio) solution of water and ethanol at 25°C at a concentration of 5% by mass or more, and in which a 5% by mass solution of the vinyl alcohol-based polymer in a 1:1 (mass ratio) solution of water and ethanol has a viscosity of 200 mPa s or less at 25°C) similar to those exemplified as components of the first resin layer, and a polyalkyleneimine, and have a glass transition temperature of 40°C or higher and 80°C or lower.

The polyalkyleneimines used in the third resin layer and the fourth resin layer may be the same as or different from the first polyalkyleneimine and the second polyalkyleneimine, respectively.

[0177] The third resin layer and the fourth resin layer can be provided by the same method as the first resin layer. The coating agent used to form the third resin layer and the fourth resin layer may be the same as that used to form the first resin layer, or may be different from that used to form the first resin layer, for example, in the vinyl alcohol polymer and the second polyalkyleneimine content, the solvent used, the coating amount of the coating agent, etc.

[0178] The glass transition temperatures of the third resin layer and the fourth resin layer are more preferably 50° C. or higher, and more preferably 70° C. or lower. In the third resin layer and the fourth resin layer, the blending amount of polyalkylimine is preferably 1% by mass or higher and 25% by mass or lower of the total amount of the vinyl alcohol polymer and the polyalkylimine.

[0196] Polyhydric alcohols other than those mentioned above may be used in combination, and examples thereof include aliphatic diols such as 1,5-pentanediol, 3-methyl-1,5-pentanediol, 1,6-hexanediol, methylpentanediol, dimethylbutanediol, butylethylpropanediol, diethylene glycol, triethylene glycol, tetraethylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, and tripropylene glycol; trihydric or higher polyhydric alcohols such as glycerin, trimethylolpropane, trimethylolethane, tris(2-hydroxyethyl)isocyanurate, 1,2,4-butanetriol, pentaerythritol, and dipentaerythritol; hydroquinone, resorcinol, catechol, naphthalenediol, biphenol, bisphenol A, bisphenol F, and tetramethylbiphenol; ethylene oxide-extended products thereof; and aromatic polyhydric phenols such as hydrogenated alicyclic alcohols.

[0197] When the polyester polyol has three or more hydroxyl groups, some of the hydroxyl groups may be modified 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 of the polyester polyol. Examples of polycarboxylic acids used for modification include, but are not limited to, succinic anhydride, maleic acid, fumaric acid, 1,2-cyclohexanedicarboxylic anhydride, 4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic anhydride, 5-norbornene-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride, phthalic anhydride, 2,3-naphthalenedicarboxylic anhydride, trimellitic anhydride, oleic acid, and sorbic acid.

[0198] The polyester polyol may be a polyester polyurethane polyol having a number average molecular weight of 1,000 to 15,000 obtained by urethane elongation through a reaction with a diisocyanate compound. The urethane-elongated polyester polyol contains components with molecular weights equal to or greater than a certain level and urethane bonds, and therefore has excellent gas barrier properties and initial cohesive strength.

[0199] The isocyanate compound used in the barrier coating agent (3) may be the same as the polyisocyanate compound used in the adhesive (1), and is preferably one having an aromatic ring or an aliphatic ring. Examples of isocyanate compounds having an aromatic ring or an aliphatic ring include toluene diisocyanate, diphenylmethane diisocyanate, hydrogenated diphenylmethane diisocyanate, xylylene diisocyanate, hydrogenated xylylene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, or trimers of these isocyanate compounds, and adducts obtained by reacting an excess amount of these isocyanate compounds with low-molecular-weight active hydrogen compounds such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, meta-xylylene alcohol, 1,3-bishydroxyethylbenzene, 1,4-bishydroxyethylbenzene, trimethylolpropane, glycerol, pentaerythritol, erythritol, sorbitol, ethylenediamine, monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, and meta-xylylenediamine, and alkylene oxide adducts thereof, various polyester resins, polyether polyols, and high-molecular-weight active hydrogen compounds such as polyamides.

[0200] It is also preferable to use a compound having an active hydrogen group in combination with the barrier coating agent (3). Examples of the active hydrogen group in the compound having active hydrogen include a hydroxyl group, an amino group, an imino group, a carboxylic acid, a urea group, and an SH group. Among these, a hydroxyl group, an amino group, and an SH group are preferred.

[0201] When the solubility parameter of the compound having active hydrogen is 29.5 or less, the compatibility between the polyester polyol and the isocyanate compound is improved, the compound having active hydrogen is uniformly present in the barrier coat layer, and the effect of improving gas barrier properties can be expected. Note that in this specification, the solubility parameter refers to the δT value listed in the Hansen Solubility Parameter Calculation Software (HSPiP) or the δT value calculated using the SMILES notation.

[0205] The compound having active hydrogen may be used alone or in combination of two or more kinds. Isosorbide, tris(2-hydroxyethyl) isocyanurate, trimethylolpropane, dipentaerythritol, and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol are preferred.

[0206] The amount of the compound having active hydrogen is preferably 0.5% by mass or more and 20% by mass or less based on the solid content of the barrier coating agent (3).

[0207] The barrier coating agent (3) may further contain a layered inorganic compound, an acid anhydride, an oxygen scavenger, an inorganic filler, and when an inorganic material is used, a dispersant, a stabilizer (antioxidant, heat stabilizer, ultraviolet absorber, etc.), a plasticizer, an antistatic agent, a lubricant, an antiblocking agent, a colorant, a leveling agent, a slip improver, etc.

[0209] (Heat-resistant coating layer) The laminate of the present invention may include layers other than those described above. An example of such a layer is a heat-resistant coating layer. The heat-resistant coating layer is a layer having a function of improving the heat resistance of the laminate of the present invention, and can be provided at any position on the laminate of the present invention by applying and drying a heat-resistant coating agent.

[0210] Taking the case where the laminate of the present invention is used as a component of a packaging material for packaging contents as an example, if a bag is made and filled with contents, and the outermost substrate is a film with low heat resistance such as a polyethylene film or a polypropylene film, there is a risk that the laminate will shrink due to heat when the bag is made by heat sealing. Such a problem can be prevented by providing a heat-resistant coating layer.

[0211] The heat-resistant coating layer is preferably disposed outside the substrate that is positioned outermost from the contents when the bag is made from the substrates constituting the laminate. For example, when the first substrate is the outermost substrate among the substrates constituting the laminate of the present invention and the printed layer is disposed between the first substrate and the adhesive layer, the heat-resistant coating layer is preferably disposed on the surface of the first substrate opposite the adhesive layer. Alternatively, when the first substrate is the outermost substrate among the substrates constituting the laminate of the present invention and the printed layer is disposed on the surface of the first substrate opposite the adhesive layer, the heat-resistant coating layer may be disposed between the printed layer and the first substrate, or the printed layer may be disposed between the heat-resistant coating layer and the first substrate.

[0212] Examples of heat-resistant coating agents include coating agents containing compounds having a cellulose skeleton, a benzene ring skeleton, an isocyanuric ring skeleton, or an alicyclic skeleton, whose homopolymer glass transition temperature (hereinafter sometimes referred to as Tg) is 100° C. or higher. Specific examples of such compounds include cellulose derivatives such as nitrocellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose propionate, and cellulose butyrate; polyester resins having a benzene ring such as phthalic acid, naphthalenedicarboxylic acid, and an ethylene oxide (hereinafter sometimes referred to as EO) adduct of bisphenol A, and / or an alicyclic skeleton such as cyclopentanediol and dimethyloltricyclodecane; and urethane resins obtained by combining aromatic isocyanates such as diphenylmethane diisocyanate, toluene diisocyanate, xylene diisocyanate, and naphthalene diisocyanate; alicyclic isocyanates such as isophorone diisocyanate and norbornene diisocyanate; and / or isocyanuric triisocyanate with a polyol and / or tris(2-hydroxyethyl)isocyanurate. Polyisocyanates using the aforementioned isocyanates may also be used as curing agents. Furthermore, compounds having a benzene ring and an unsaturated double bond, such as styrene and phenoxydiethylene glycol acrylate, and / or compounds having an alicyclic structure and an unsaturated double bond, such as isobornyl acrylate and dicyclopentanyl acrylate, and radical copolymers such as (meth)acrylates are also preferably used. Furthermore, in consideration of adhesion to olefin films, a resin with a low Tg may be mixed and used.

[0213] The heat-resistant coating agent preferably uses inorganic fine particles such as alumina, magnesia, titania, zirconia, and silica (quartz, fumed silica, precipitated silica, silicic anhydride, fused silica, crystalline silica, and ultrafine amorphous silica) as aggregates because they have excellent heat resistance. Alternatively, boron nitride, aluminum nitride, alumina oxide, titanium oxide, magnesium oxide, zinc oxide, and silicon oxide are preferred because they have excellent thermal conductivity. The inorganic fine particles may be used alone or in combination.

[0214] The shape of the silica fine particles is not particularly limited, and spherical, hollow, porous, rod-like, plate-like, fibrous, or irregularly shaped particles can be used. For example, commercially available hollow silica fine particles such as Silinax manufactured by Nittetsu Mining Co., Ltd. can be used.

[0215] The primary particle diameter of the inorganic fine particles is preferably in the range of 5 nm to 200 nm, and more preferably 10 nm to 100 nm. The inorganic fine particles can be blended in a proportion of 5 to 90 wt % based on the total solid content of the heat-resistant coating agent and the inorganic fine particles, and the blending amount can be changed as needed depending on the purpose. In particular, a proportion of 20 mass % or more is preferred.

[0216] The heat-resistant coating agent may be colored. The colorant is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include inorganic pigments, organic pigments, and dyes used in general inks, paints, and recording agents, such as those used in the printing layer described below.

[0217] The heat-resistant coating agent may contain wax, silicon additives, or organic beads, such as amide wax, polypropylene wax, polyethylene wax, paraffin wax, carnauba wax, or rice wax, an ethylene oxide (EO) adduct of dimethylsiloxane, a silicon additive such as a silicon-modified product, or organic beads made of acrylic, nylon, urethane, or epoxy.

[0218] The solvent used in the heat-resistant coating agent is not particularly limited, but examples thereof include water, aromatic hydrocarbon organic solvents such as toluene, xylene, Solvesso #100, Solvesso #150, etc.; aliphatic hydrocarbon organic solvents such as hexane, methylcyclohexane, heptane, octane, decane, etc.; and various ester organic solvents such as methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, isopropyl acetate, normal propyl acetate, butyl acetate, amyl acetate, ethyl formate, butyl propionate, etc. Examples of water-miscible organic solvents include alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, and isopropyl alcohol; ketones such as acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, and cyclohexanone; and glycol ethers such as ethylene glycol (mono- and di-)methyl ether, ethylene glycol (mono- and di-)ethyl ether, ethylene glycol monopropyl ether, ethylene glycol monoisopropyl ether, monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol (mono- and di-)methyl ether, diethylene glycol (mono- and di-)ethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoisopropyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, triethylene glycol (mono- and di-)methyl ether, propylene glycol (mono- and di-)methyl ether, propylene glycol monopropyl ether, propylene glycol monobutyl ether, and dipropylene glycol (mono- and di-)methyl ether. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Furthermore, to more effectively carry out coating, an antifoaming agent or a leveling agent can be used.

[0219] Commercially available heat-resistant coating agents can also be used, examples of which include SUNSYS FS241 manufactured by Sun Chemical Co., DH-004 / DH-HARDENER P-60 manufactured by DIC Corporation, and ThermaGloss 463 manufactured by Michelman.

[0220] <Packaging Material> The laminate of the present invention can be used as a multilayer packaging material for the purpose of protecting food, medicines, etc. When used as a multilayer packaging material, the layer structure can be changed depending on the contents, the environment of use, and the form of use.

[0221] The packaging material of the present invention can be obtained, for example, by overlapping the heat-sealable layers of the laminate of the present invention so that they face each other, and then heat-sealing the peripheral edges. Examples of bag-making methods include folding or overlapping the laminate of the present invention so that the inner layer surfaces (sealant film surfaces) face each other, and heat-sealing the peripheral edges using, for example, a side seal type, a two-sided seal type, a three-sided seal type, a four-sided seal type, an envelope seal type, a flared seal type, a flat-bottom seal type, a square-bottom seal type, a gusset seal type, or other heat seal type. The packaging material of the present invention can take various forms depending on the contents, usage environment, and usage form. Self-standing packaging materials (standing pouches) are also possible. Heat-sealing methods can be known, such as bar seal, rotary roll seal, belt seal, impulse seal, high-frequency seal, and ultrasonic seal.

[0222] The packaging material of the present invention is filled with contents through its opening, and the opening is then heat-sealed to produce a product using the packaging material of the present invention. The contents to be filled include confectioneries such as rice crackers, bean snacks, nuts, biscuits, cookies, wafer snacks, marshmallows, pies, semi-dried cakes, candies, and snacks; staple foods such as bread, snack noodles, instant noodles, dried noodles, pasta, aseptically packaged cooked rice, rice porridge, porridge, packaged rice cakes, and cereal foods; processed agricultural products such as pickles, boiled beans, natto, miso, frozen tofu, tofu, nametake mushrooms, konjac, processed wild vegetables, jams, peanut cream, salads, frozen vegetables, and processed potatoes; processed livestock products such as ham, bacon, sausages, processed chicken products, and corned beef; and fish ham and sausages. Examples of suitable packaging materials include processed seafood products such as fish paste products, kamaboko (fish paste), nori (seaweed paste), tsukudani (simmered foods in soy sauce), dried bonito flakes, salted fish, smoked salmon, and spicy cod roe, fruit pulp such as peaches, mandarin oranges, pineapples, apples, pears, and cherries, vegetables such as corn, asparagus, mushrooms, onions, carrots, radishes, and potatoes, prepared foods such as frozen and chilled prepared foods, including hamburger steaks, meatballs, fried seafood, gyoza (dumplings), and croquettes, dairy products such as butter, margarine, cheese, cream, instant creamy powder, and infant formula, liquid seasonings, retort curry, and pet food. The packaging material of the present invention can also be used as a packaging material for cigarettes, pharmaceuticals such as disposable body warmers and infusion packs, cosmetics, and vacuum insulation materials.

[0223] <Recycling method> The laminate of the present invention and packaging materials made of the laminate have excellent recyclability and can be used as raw materials for recycled plastics. The recycled plastics of the present invention are produced by recycling the laminate and packaging materials of the present invention as raw materials. The recycled plastics of the present invention can be obtained, for example, by peeling the laminate and packaging materials of the present invention into their respective substrates (peeling step), separating them by resin type (separation and recovery step), melt-kneading them, and then pelletizing them.

[0224] (Peeling Step) By immersing the laminate and packaging material of the present invention in a release agent for a certain period of time, the adhesive and printing ink can be peeled from the substrate and separated into a single-layer film. The laminate and packaging material of the present invention can be easily peeled off in warm water of 55°C or higher, so warm water can be used as the release agent. However, release agents containing various surfactants such as basic compounds, hydrophilic alcohols, anionic surfactants, nonionic surfactants, silicone surfactants, fluorine-containing surfactants, and biosurfactants in addition to water, or other additives, may also be used.

[0225] When a film having a vapor-deposited layer of a metal or metal oxide is used as the substrate, the use of a release agent containing a basic compound is preferable because it dissolves these layers, making the laminate easy to peel and minimizing the effect on the physical properties of the recycled pellets. Even when such a substrate is used, if any of the first to fourth resin layers described above is formed in contact with the vapor-deposited layer, the vapor-deposited layer can be removed from the film even by using hot water at 55°C or higher as the release agent.

[0226] As the water, pure water such as tap water, ion-exchanged water, ultrafiltered water, reverse osmosis water, distilled water, or ultrapure water can be used. From the viewpoint of long-term storage, it is preferable to use water that has been sterilized by ultraviolet irradiation or addition of hydrogen peroxide, etc., because this can prevent the growth of mold or bacteria. When a stripping agent containing a basic compound is used, it is preferable to use water with a hardness of 120 ppm or less, and more preferably water with a hardness of 80 ppm or less.

[0227] Examples of basic compounds include sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, and calcium hydroxide. When the stripping agent contains a basic compound, the concentration of the basic compound is preferably 0.01% by mass or more and 5% by mass or less. The basic compound is adjusted so that the pH of the stripping agent is about 10 to 14.

[0228] The hydrophilic alcohol is an aliphatic alcohol that can be mixed with water in any ratio. Examples of hydrophilic alcohols include methanol, ethanol, 1-propanol, 2-propanol, ethylene glycol, and glycerin. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more, with ethanol being preferred. When the release agent contains a hydrophilic alcohol, its content is preferably 1% by mass or more and less than 60% by mass of the release agent.

[0229] The immersion time in the release agent is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 10 minutes or more and less than 5 hours. The immersion step in the release agent may be performed only once or may be performed multiple times. When the immersion step is performed multiple times, the release agents used may be the same or different.

[0230] The peeling of the laminate and packaging material is preferably carried out by heating to 55° C. or higher and 85° C. or lower, and more preferably to 70° C. or higher and 85° C. or lower. The heating method is not particularly limited, and known heating methods using heat rays, infrared rays, microwaves, etc. can be used. The treatment tank used for immersion in the release agent is preferably equipped with a reflux condenser for refluxing the heated and evaporated release agent.

[0231] The release agent is preferably stirred during immersion in the release agent. Examples of stirring methods include mechanically stirring the dispersion of the laminated film contained in a treatment tank with a stirring blade, water-jet stirring with a water pump, and bubbling with an inert gas such as nitrogen gas. Several methods may also be used in combination. This allows for more efficient separation of the laminate.

[0232] During the immersion in the stripping agent, ultrasonic vibrations may be applied to the stripping solution, for example, by attaching an ultrasonic vibrator to the treatment tank.

[0233] (Sorting and recovery process) After the peeling process, the release agent contains floating or dissolved adhesive and printing ink that have been peeled off from the laminate, film pieces (first substrate, second substrate, etc.) that have formed single layers when the laminate has been separated by peeling of the adhesive, and metal pieces (if the laminate contains a metal layer or a metal vapor deposition layer). In the sorting and recovery process, these are removed from the release agent and sorted and recovered.

[0234] As an example of a specific method, for example, flotation separation is used to separate light plastics (floating materials), such as polyolefins (polypropylene, polyethylene, etc.), from heavy materials (such as condensation synthetic films (polyester, nylon, etc.) or metal foils (heavier than polyolefins), and the heavy materials are removed. The recovered plastics are then washed and dehydrated, and then centrifuged to separate plastics with different specific gravities. For example, plastics can be separated into plastics containing vinyl chloride resins, polyethylene terephthalate, etc., which sink in water and have a specific gravity of 1 or more, and plastics containing olefin-based resins (such as polyethylene and polypropylene) that do not contain vinyl chloride resin. By appropriately changing the blending ratio of the liquid used for separation, for example, water and organic solvent, film fragments with various different specific gravities can be separated and recovered.

[0235] (Recycling of Release Agent) The release agent used in the peeling step of the laminate is also preferably recovered and reused after removing components other than the film pieces, such as adhesive layer pieces and printed layer pieces peeled from the laminate. Examples of a method for removing components other than the film pieces include filtration.

[0236] Components such as adhesive layer fragments and printed layer fragments can be pulverized by shear forces applied by stirring, which is often performed in the peeling process. If the adhesive layer fragments and printed layer fragments are pulverized too much in the peeling process, they may not be able to be filtered out completely depending on the opening size of the filter, and the adhesive layer fragments and printed layer fragments may remain in the release agent after filtration, causing the release agent to become discolored. If a filter with a small opening size is used to suppress discoloration of the release agent after filtration, the filtration will take a long time.

[0237] In the laminate of the present invention, particularly when a first resin layer and a second resin layer are provided and a layer such as a printed layer or an adhesive layer is sandwiched between them (for example, first substrate / first resin layer / either or both of the printed layer and the adhesive layer / second resin layer / second substrate), or when a film having a metal or metal oxide vapor deposition layer is used as the second substrate and a printed layer or an adhesive layer is sandwiched between the first resin layer and the vapor deposition layer provided on the second substrate (for example, first substrate / first resin layer / either or both of the printed layer and the adhesive layer / second substrate having a metal or metal vapor deposition layer), after the printed layer or adhesive layer is peeled from the first substrate and the second substrate, it is not too fine, and even a filter with a relatively large opening diameter can recover the printed layer fragments or adhesive layer fragments, and the release agent can be efficiently filtered. This is also true when the laminate of the present invention includes a third substrate.

[0238] The opening size of the filter is adjusted appropriately in consideration of the filtration efficiency of the release agent and the coloration degree of the release agent after filtration, and is, for example, 10 μm to 200 μm. As described above, when a printed layer or adhesive layer is disposed between two resin layers (e.g., a first resin layer and a second resin layer, a first resin layer and a third resin layer, or a second resin layer and a fourth resin layer), or when a printed layer or adhesive layer is disposed between a resin layer (any of the first to fourth resin layers) and a vapor-deposited layer of a metal or metal oxide, the opening size of the filter used to filter the release agent can be, for example, 30 μm to 200 μm, for example, 50 μm to 200 μm, or for another example, 100 μm to 200 μm.

[0239] (Pelletization) The film pieces collected by resin type in the separation and collection process are heated and melted at 120 to 280°C and then kneaded. The melting temperature can be adjusted taking into consideration the glass transition temperature and melting temperature of the resin, the shape when pelletized, and the pressure applied in the molding process. The screw rotation speed during kneading is, for example, 50 to 1000 RPM.

[0240] The melt-kneaded film pieces are cooled and shredded to form recycled plastic pellets. Examples of pelletization methods include, but are not limited to, hot cutting and strand cutting. To prevent foreign matter from being mixed into the pellets, it is preferable that a screen mesh be provided at the discharge section of the melt-kneaded laminate or packaging material. Examples of screen mesh include plain weave, twill weave, plain dutch weave, and twill dutch weave, as well as punched metal types. Taking into consideration the pressure and clogging of the discharge section, the screen mesh size is preferably 40 mesh or larger, more preferably 80 mesh or larger, and even more preferably 120 mesh or larger. Examples of cooling methods include air cooling, wind cooling, and water cooling. In the present invention, a water cooling step is preferably included. Cooling to 20°C to 80°C is preferable, and cooling to 30°C to 60°C is more preferable.

[0241] The recycled plastic of the present invention may contain known additives, such as at least one antioxidant selected from the group consisting of phenolic and phosphorus-based additives, at least one lubricant selected from the group consisting of fatty acid amides, alkylene fatty acid amides, metal soaps, and esters, a hindered amine weather stabilizer, a wax having an acid value of 5 mg KOH / g or less, and at least one antistatic agent selected from the group consisting of fatty acid sulfonates and fatty acid esters.

[0242] The recycled plastic of the present invention may contain virgin plastic as a raw material in addition to the laminate and packaging material of the present invention. The virgin plastic to be added is of the same resin type as the film pieces. The virgin plastic may be added when pelletizing the film pieces, or when molding the pelletized recycled plastic of the present invention. The virgin plastic may be added both when pelletizing and when molding the recycled plastic. The amount of virgin plastic used when pelletizing the film pieces is, for example, in a film pieces:virgin plastic ratio range of 100:0 to 25:75 (mass ratio). The amount of virgin plastic used when molding the pelletized recycled plastic of the present invention is, for example, in a recycled plastic:virgin plastic ratio range of 100:0 to 25:75 (mass ratio).

[0243] (Crushing Step) A crushing step of the laminate may be carried out prior to the step of immersing the laminate in a release agent. This allows for an increased amount of the edge surface of the laminate that comes into contact with the release agent, thereby shortening the time required to peel the laminate. On the other hand, the separated laminate may then be separated by gravity sorting or the like, and in this case, it is preferable that the film pieces are not too small. Taking these factors into consideration, in the crushing step, it is preferable to crush (including cutting) the laminate into small rectangular pieces with sides of approximately 5 to 60 mm. The crushing method may be so-called wet crushing, in which crushing is carried out in water or a cleaning solution, or dry crushing, in which crushing is carried out in an air atmosphere without the presence of a liquid such as a solvent.

[0244] The wet crusher is not particularly limited, but is preferably a wet crusher that can crush, disperse, mix, and pump solids in a liquid simultaneously. Specifically, it is preferably a crusher that has a mechanism for crushing solids in a liquid by shear force and / or friction force, and also has a mechanism for crushing and pumping plastic films. Examples of such wet crushers include a wet crushing pump, a colloid mill, and an attritor.

[0245] The dry crusher is not particularly limited, but examples of the dry crusher that can be used include a mycoloider, a mass colloider, a ball mill, a power mill, a pin mill, an airflow crusher (jet mill), a shear friction crusher, a cutter crusher, an impact crusher (hammer mill, ball mill), a roll crusher, a homogenizer, and an ultrasonic crusher.

[0246] (Washing process) The crushed laminate pieces are preferably subjected to a washing process before being sent to the peeling process. In the washing process, the pieces are placed in a washing container storing a washing liquid such as water or a detergent aqueous solution, and stirred in the washing container to wash away organic matter (food residue, oily stains, etc.) and inorganic matter (sand, dust, etc.) adhering to the laminate. Next, the laminate pieces are transferred to a rinsing container storing rinsing water, rinsed, and then drained.

[0247] The recycled plastic of the present invention can be used as a raw material for various plastic products. Examples of plastic products include, but are not limited to, transportation pallets and containers, containers such as bottles, hangers, stationery, pots and cups, disposable cutlery, and play equipment. The recycled plastic can also be recycled as film, or the recycled film can be molded and used as, for example, cushioning material for transporting fruit, but is not limited to this.

[0248] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to specific synthesis examples and examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. In the following examples, "parts" and "%" represent "parts by mass" and "% by mass", respectively, unless otherwise specified.

[0249] <Preparation of Coating Agent> (Preparation of Coating Agent) Coating agents were prepared according to the formulations shown in Tables 1 and 2. The compounds used in preparing the coating agents are as follows.
