Abstract: The present invention relates to an adhesive resin composition characterized by including one or more ethylene-based polymers (A) comprising an ethylene-based polymer graft-modified with an unsaturated carboxylic acid or a derivative thereof and by satisfying requirements (1) to (4). (1) To have a melt flow rate (MFR), as measured in accordance with ASTM D 1238 at a temperature of 190°C and a load of 2,160 g, of 0.1-3 g/10 min. (2) To have a density of 910-930 kg/m3. (3) In examination by crystallization elution fractionation chromatography, the proportion of components eluted at 50°C and lower is 20 mass% or greater. (4) In examination by crystallization elution fractionation chromatography, the proportion of components eluted at 90°C and higher is 25 mass% or greater. The adhesive resin composition of the present invention has excellent adhesive force in application to gas-barrier resins such as ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymers. Due to this, in a laminate including an adhesive layer comprising the adhesive resin composition and a gas-barrier resin layer in direct contact with the adhesive layer, the two layers have been tenaciously bonded to each other even when, for example, the gas-barrier resin layer contains an additive for softening, and hence separation between the two layers is less apt to occur. Therefore, the laminate can be effectively used as a package, a container, etc. which have high barrier properties.
Title of invention: Adhesive resin composition and laminate
Technical field
[0001]
The present invention relates to an adhesive resin composition and a laminate. Specifically, the present invention comprises an adhesive resin composition having high adhesiveness to a gas barrier resin, and a layer containing the adhesive resin composition, which has a high barrier property. Regarding the body.
Background technology
[0002]
Polyethylene is widely used as packaging and containers for various foods and chemicals because it has excellent transparency, flexibility, hygiene, processability, etc., and is inexpensive.
Since polyethylene has high gas permeability, it cannot be used alone as a packaging or container. For this reason, polyethylene is often used as a packaging or container after laminating another material having a high gas barrier property, for example, a gas barrier resin such as polyamide or an ethylene / vinyl alcohol copolymer. Further, since polyethylene is a non-polar material and has almost no adhesive strength, various improvements have been made in laminating polyethylene with a gas barrier resin.
[0003]
For example, in Patent Document 1, a layer of a polyethylene resin composition containing an ethylene-based polymer and a modified ethylene-based polymer and a layer of a saponified product of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, a polyamide, a polyester, or the like are laminated. The laminate is disclosed. Patent Document 1 describes that the resin composition has excellent adhesiveness to other resins, and the adhesiveness is not deteriorated by heat, water, salt water, or the like.
[0004]
On the other hand, with the increasing demand for reduction of food loss in recent years, the trend toward higher barriers for food packaging materials is progressing, and higher barrier properties are required for gas barrier resins such as ethylene / vinyl alcohol copolymers. In order to meet this demand, in recent years, there has been an increasing tendency to lower the ethylene of gas barrier resins to enhance the gas barrier.
[0005]
However, ethylene / vinyl alcohol copolymers, which are gas barrier resins, become rigid and brittle when the ethylene content is lowered. Therefore, an additive (styrene elastomer, etc.) is added to the ethylene / vinyl alcohol copolymer, etc. for softening. Measures have been taken (Patent Documents 2 and 3). However, in that case, since the additive hinders the adhesion to polyethylene, there are increasing cases where the adhesive force between polyethylene and the gas barrier resin is insufficient with the conventional adhesive resin.

[0013]
The ethylene polymer (A1) has a density of 930 to 965 kg / m 3 , preferably 940 to 965 kg / m 3 .
By using the ethylene polymer (A1) having a density in this range, it is easy to obtain an adhesive resin composition having excellent adhesiveness.

The polymer having an MFR of less than 0.1 g / 10 minutes may make it difficult to extrude the obtained adhesive resin composition, and the pressure may increase to exceed the limit pressure of the molding machine. On the other hand, in the case of a polymer having an MFR of more than 10 g / 10 minutes, when the obtained adhesive resin composition is molded, the uniformity of the thickness of the molded product tends to be poor, and the molecular weight becomes too low, resulting in a laminate.

On the other hand, in the case of a polymer having an MFR of more than 10 g / 10 minutes, when the obtained adhesive resin composition is molded, the uniformity of the thickness of the molded product tends to be poor, and the molecular weight becomes too low, resulting in a laminate. There is a risk that the impact strength of the plastic will decrease.
