Outline of the invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
[0004]
By the way, in recent years, due to the growing environmental awareness caused by the problem of marine plastic waste, etc., there is a growing demand for higher efficiency in separate collection and recycling of plastic materials. That is, even in the case of soft packaging materials, which have been improved in performance by combining various different materials, there is a demand for monomaterialization. However, in the actual situation, it is difficult to obtain a good barrier property when trying to realize a monomaterialization of a flexible packaging material using a polyolefin resin.
[0005]
For example, the soft packaging material in which the product is housed may bend during the manufacturing and distribution process, or the soft packaging materials may rub against each other. Even after such a process, the flexible packaging material needs to maintain the gas barrier property. This property required for packaging materials is referred to herein as "abuse resistance". In order to achieve excellent abuse resistance of the barrier film, the softness of the barrier coat layer should be adjusted so that the barrier coat layer can sufficiently follow the deformation of the base film, that is, the barrier coat layer is resistant to deformation. The present inventors have found that it is useful to impart sex.
[0006]
The present disclosure provides barrier films and barrier packaging materials that are useful for achieving excellent recyclability of packaging materials and have excellent abuse resistance.
Means to solve problems
[0007]
The barrier film according to the first aspect of the present disclosure is provided in contact with a base film containing a polyolefin resin, an inorganic oxide layer provided on one surface of the base film, and an inorganic oxide layer. The deformation-resistant barrier coat layer is provided with the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer, and the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer contains a hydroxyl group-containing polymer compound and a water-swellable mica. The content of the water-swellable mica is 5 parts by mass to 35 parts by mass.
[0008]
According to the barrier film according to the first aspect, the inorganic oxide layer and the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer function as a barrier layer, and excellent gas barrier properties are exhibited. Since the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer can follow the deformation of the base film because the content of the water-swellable mica is in the above range, the inorganic oxide provided on the surface of the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer. The layer can be protected stably. Therefore, the barrier film has excellent abuse resistance.
[0009]
According to the barrier film according to the first aspect, since the base film contains a polyolefin-based resin, it is possible to realize the monomaterialization of the packaging material by using it together with the sealant layer containing the polyolefin-based resin. In the present disclosure, the monomaterial packaging material refers to a packaging material in which the mass ratio of a specific material (for example, a polyolefin resin) is 90% by mass or more.
[0010]
The barrier film according to the second aspect of the present disclosure is a laminated film including a base film containing polyethylene and a deformation-resistant barrier coat layer containing a hydroxyl group-containing polymer compound. According to this barrier film, the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer functions as a barrier layer, and excellent gas barrier properties are exhibited. Since the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer can follow the deformation of the base film, it has excellent abuse resistance. Further, according to this barrier film, since the base film contains polyethylene, it is possible to realize the monomaterialization of the packaging material by using it together with the sealant layer containing polyethylene.
[0011]
The barrier packaging material according to one aspect of the present disclosure includes the barrier film according to the first or second aspect and a sealant layer containing a polyolefin resin. From the viewpoint of realizing monomaterialization, the sealant layer is preferably made of the same plastic material as the base film. For example, when the base film is a polyethylene film, the sealant layer is also preferably a polyethylene film, and when the base film is a polypropylene film, the sealant layer is also preferably a polyethylene film. The ink layer is provided, for example, on the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer of the barrier film.

These embodiments are exemplary and one of ordinary skill in the art can understand how to implement the invention in ways other than those described below. In the following description, the same reference numerals will be used for the same elements or elements having the same function, and duplicate description will be omitted.
[0015]

[First Embodiment]
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the structure of the barrier film according to the first embodiment. The barrier film 10A shown in this figure includes a base film 1 containing at least polyethylene and a deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3A as a barrier layer provided on one surface of the base film. The deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3A contains at least a hydroxyl group-containing polymer compound.

The base film 1 is a plastic film containing polyethylene, for example, a material containing 50% or more of polyethylene. Polyethylene means a homopolymer of ethylene or a copolymer of ethylene and an α-olephyllene monomer of 5 mol% or less. Resin materials other than polyethylene can be mixed at least as long as the possibility of recycling as a polyethylene resin is not excluded. The base film 1 is preferably a recyclable material as polyethylene. The base film 1 may contain polyethylene derived from biomass or a recycled product. Although the case where the base film 1 is a polyethylene film is exemplified here, the base film 1 may be an olefin resin film other than polyethylene.
[0017]
As the polyethylene, for example, those classified into low density polyethylene (LDPE), medium density polyethylene (MDPE), and high density polyethylene (HDPE) can be used. LDPE is polyethylene having a density of 0.910 g / cm 3 or more and 0.925 g / cm 3 or less. MDPE is polyethylene having a density of 0.926 g / cm 3 or more and 0.940 g / cm 3 or less. HDPE is polyethylene having a density of 0.941 g / cm 3 or more and 0.965 g / cm 3 or less. LDPE is obtained, for example, by polymerizing ethylene at a high pressure of 1000 atm or more and less than 2000 atm. MDPE and HDPE can be obtained, for example, by polymerizing ethylene at medium pressure or low pressure of 1 atm or more and less than 1000 atm. In addition, MDPE and HDPE may partially contain a copolymer of ethylene and α-olefin.
[0018]
The copolymer of ethylene and α-olefin is, for example, linear low-density polyethylene (hereinafter, also referred to as LLDPE). LLDPE is obtained by copolymerizing an α-olefin with a linear polymer obtained by polymerizing ethylene at medium pressure or low pressure to introduce a short chain branch. Examples of the α-olefin include butene-1, hexene-1, 4-methylpentene, and octene-1. The density of LLDPE is, for example, 0.915 g / cm 3 or more and 0.945 g / cm 3 or less.
[0019]
The base film 1 may be a single-layer film or a multi-layer film. From the viewpoint of heat resistance, HDPE may be used as the single-layer film of HDPE or the thickest core layer as a layer constituting the base film 1. It may also contain additives such as antioxidants, lubricants, anti-blocking agents and neutralizers. In the case of a multilayer base film, for example, the layer on the side where the barrier layer is laminated may not contain a lubricant.
[0020]
The base film 1 has a heat shrinkage rate of 2 at 100 ° C. for 15 minutes in the first direction on the film plane and the second direction orthogonal to the first direction in order to suppress deterioration of the barrier layer due to thermal deformation. It may be less than or equal to%. The second direction orthogonal to the first direction is, for example, MD (resin flow direction) and TD (vertical direction). Further, the heat shrinkage rate at 120 ° C. for 15 minutes may be 5% or less, and the heat shrinkage rate at 80 ° C. for 15 minutes may be 1% or less.
[0021]
The base film 1 may be an unstretched film, a uniaxially stretched oriented film, or a biaxially stretched oriented film, and is a film that has been surface-treated (corona discharge treatment, etc.), anchor coated, or undercoated. You may. The coated surface (the surface on which the film is formed) of the base film 1 may be subjected to corona treatment, low temperature plasma treatment, atmospheric pressure plasma, or the like. As a result, good wettability to the coating liquid and adhesive strength to the film can be obtained.
[0022]
The thickness of the base film 1 is appropriately selected depending on the price and application while considering the suitability as a packaging material and the suitability for laminating other films. The thickness of the base film 1 is practically 3 μm to 200 μm, preferably 5 μm to 120 μm, and more preferably 10 μm to 100 μm.
[0023]
In the base film 1, the base film itself may have a heat seal property so that the outermost surface of one or both of the packaging materials has a heat seal property. Since the base film itself has a heat-sealing property, it is possible to manufacture a packaging material without attaching a sealant film to the base film 1 or providing a sealant layer.
[0024]
The deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3A contains a hydroxyl group-containing polymer compound. Specific examples of the hydroxyl group-containing polymer compound include water-soluble polymers such as ethylene vinyl alcohol, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and starch, and polyvinyl alcohol is particularly preferable because it has excellent barrier properties.

The deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3A can be formed by using a coating liquid containing a hydroxyl group-containing polymer compound and water-swellable mica as a solid content. The solid content ratio of the water-swellable mica to the total solid content of this coating liquid may be within the approximate range shown by, for example, 20% by mass to 50% by mass.
[0027]
The area average diameter of the water-swellable mica is, for example, within the approximate range shown by 0.5 μm to 5 μm, and may be within the approximate range shown by 1.5 μm to 2.5 μm. The aspect ratio of the water-swellable mica is, for example, within the approximate range shown by 10 or more and 200 or less. The thickness of the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3A is, for example, within the approximate range shown by 0.1 μm to 1 μm, and may be within the approximate range shown by 0.15 μm to 0.7 μm.
[0028]
The deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3A may contain, in addition to the hydroxyl group-containing polymer compound, a composition containing at least one of a metal alkoxide, a hydrolyzate thereof, and a polymer.
[0029]
The metal alkoxide is preferably formed from a composition containing at least one selected from the group consisting of a metal alkoxide represented by the following formula (1) and a hydrolyzate thereof, or a polymer.
M (OR 1) m (R 2) nm ... (1)
In the above formula (1), R1 and R2 are independently monovalent organic groups having 1 to 8 carbon atoms, and are preferably alkyl groups such as a methyl group and an ethyl group. M represents an n-valent metal atom such as Si, Ti, Al, Zr and the like. m is an integer from 1 to n.
[0030]
Examples of the metal alkoxide include tetraethoxysilane [Si (OC 2H 5) 4] and triisopropoxyaluminum [Al (O-iso-C 3H 7) 3]. The metal alkoxide is preferably tetraethoxysilane or triisopropoxyaluminum because it is relatively stable in an aqueous solvent after hydrolysis.
[0031]
Examples of the hydrolyzate of the metal alkoxide include silicic acid (Si (OH) 4), which is a hydrolyzate of tetraethoxysilane, and aluminum hydroxide (Al (OH) 3), which is a hydrolyzate of tripropoxyaluminum. ) Etc. can be mentioned. These are not limited to one type, but can be used in combination of a plurality of types. The content of the metal alkoxide and its hydrolyzate in the above composition is, for example, 10% by mass to 90% by mass.
[0032]
The deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3A may contain various additives as long as it does not impair the gas barrier property and the strength as a packaging material.

[0034]
[Second Embodiment]
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the structure of the barrier film according to the second embodiment. The barrier film 10B shown in this figure is different from the barrier film 10A in that the barrier layer has a two-layer structure. That is, the barrier layer 2B is composed of the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3B and the inorganic oxide layer 4. The inorganic oxide layer 4 is arranged between the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3B and the base film 1. By forming the barrier layer 2B by the inorganic oxide layer 4 and the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3B in contact with the inorganic oxide layer 4, it is expected that the bending resistance and the barrier property of the barrier layer will be improved. When the barrier layer has a multi-layer structure, the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer is provided, for example, on the outermost side of the barrier layer.
[0035]
When the barrier layer 2B contains the inorganic oxide layer 4, it is preferable that the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3B has a smaller content of water-swellable mica than the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3A according to the first embodiment. That is, assuming that the total mass of the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3B is 100 parts by mass, the content of the water-swellable mica in the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3B is, for example, within the approximate range shown by 5 parts by mass to 35 parts by mass. Is. This value may be 7 parts by mass or more, 10 parts by mass or more, or 12 parts by mass or more. This value may be 30 parts by mass or less, 20 parts by mass or less, less than 20 parts by mass, or 17 parts by mass or less. In particular, this content may be in the range of less than 10 parts by mass and 20 parts by mass or less, or may be 15 parts by mass. The deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3B can be formed by using a coating liquid containing a hydroxyl group-containing polymer compound and water-swellable mica as a solid content. The solid content ratio of the water-swellable mica to the total solid content of this coating liquid may be adjusted to be within a desired range.
[0036]
When the content of the water-swellable mica in the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3B is equal to or higher than the above lower limit, excellent gas barrier properties are exhibited due to the maze effect of the water-swellable mica, and the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3B is excellent. Moisture resistance can be imparted. On the other hand, when the content of the water-swellable mica is not more than the upper limit value, the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3B can follow the deformation of the base film 1, so that the inorganic oxide layer 4 can be stably protected. Excellent abuse resistance is demonstrated. Further, when the content of the water-swellable mica is in the above range, excellent adhesion strength between the inorganic oxide layer 4 and the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3B is achieved.
[0037]
The characteristics such as the thickness of the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3B (excluding the content of water-swellable mica) may be the same as those of the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3A.
[0038]
By including the inorganic oxide layer 4 in the barrier layer 2B, it is possible to further improve the barrier property against oxygen and water vapor. The inorganic oxide layer 4 contains a metal oxide, and examples of the metal oxide include metal oxides such as aluminum, copper, silver, ittrium, tantalum, silicon, and magnesium. As the metal oxide, aluminum oxide and silicon oxide are preferable because they are inexpensive and have excellent barrier performance, and silicon oxide having a good water vapor barrier property is particularly preferable. Further, silicon oxide may have x of 1.0 to 2.0 in its composition SiOx. When x is 1.0 or more, good gas barrier properties tend to be easily obtained.
[0039]
The method for forming the inorganic oxide layer 4 is preferably vacuum film formation. Examples of the vacuum film formation include a physical vapor deposition method and a chemical vapor deposition method. Examples of the physical vapor deposition method include a vapor deposition method, a sputtering method, and an ion plating method. Moreover, as a chemical vapor deposition method, for example, a thermal CVD method, a plasma CVD method, an optical CVD method and the like can be mentioned.
[0040]
The thickness of the inorganic oxide layer 4 is preferably 10 nm to 300 nm, more preferably 20 nm to 100 nm. When the thickness of the inorganic oxide layer 4 is 10 nm or more, a uniform film tends to be easily obtained, and gas barrier properties tend to be easily obtained. On the other hand, when the thickness of the inorganic oxide layer is 300 nm or less, flexibility can be maintained, and cracks due to external forces such as bending and tension after film formation tend to be less likely to occur.
[0041]
[Third Embodiment]
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the structure of the barrier film according to the third embodiment. The barrier film 10C shown in this figure is different from the barrier film 10B in that the adhesion improving layer 5 is provided between the barrier layer 2B and the base film 1. The adhesion improving layer 5 is a layer for improving the adhesion of the barrier layer 2B to the base film 1. In particular, when the adhesion improving layer 5 is configured to be in contact with the inorganic oxide layer 4, the surface on which the inorganic oxide layer 4 is formed is flattened by the adhesion improving layer 5, so that the adhesion is further improved. Is expected to improve the barrier property of.

The material constituting the adhesion improving layer 5 is, for example, a solvent-soluble or water-soluble polyester resin, an isocyanate resin, a urethane resin, an acrylic resin, a vinyl alcohol resin, an ethylene vinyl alcohol resin, a vinyl-modified resin, an epoxy resin, or an oxazoline group. It is preferably selected from a contained resin, a modified styrene resin, a modified silicon resin, an alkyl titanate and the like. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0043]
The adhesion improving layer 5 can be formed by, for example, a well-known printing method such as an offset printing method, a gravure printing method, or a silk screen printing method, or a well-known coating method such as a roll coat, a knife edge coat, or a gravure coat. .. As for the drying conditions, generally used conditions may be used. Further, in order to promote the reaction, a method of leaving it in a high temperature aging chamber for several days to dry may be used. The thickness of the adhesion improving layer 5 is, for example, in the range of 0.01 μm to 1.0 μm.
[0044]
[Fourth Embodiment]
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the structure of the barrier film according to the fourth embodiment. The barrier film 10D shown in this figure includes at least a base film 11 and a barrier layer 12 provided on one surface of the base film 11. The barrier layer 12 includes at least an inorganic oxide layer 14 and a deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 13 provided in contact with the inorganic oxide layer 14. As long as there is no contradiction, each configuration of the barrier film 10D can incorporate the configuration of the above-described embodiment.
[0045]
The base film 11 is made of a plastic material. Examples of the base film made of a plastic material include polyolefin resins such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and propylene-ethylene copolymers, polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate and polybutylene terephthalate, and aliphatic resins of nylon 6 and nylon 66. Polyamide resins such as polyamides and aromatic polyamides such as polymethoxylylene adipamide, vinyl resins such as polystyrene, polyvinyl acetate, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers, polyvinyl alcohols, and ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers, Examples thereof include a film made of a (meth) acrylic monomer such as polymethylmethacrylate and polyacrylonitrile alone or an acrylic resin such as a copolymer, cellophane and the like. These resins may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0046]
Among these, examples of the base film 11 include a polyolefin-based resin film (particularly, a polypropylene film), a polyester-based resin film (particularly, a polyethylene terephthalate-based resin film), and a polyamide-based resin film (particularly, a nylon film). It is preferably used.
[0047]
As the base film 11, a single-layer film composed of a single resin or a single-layer or laminated film using a plurality of resins is used. Further, a laminated base material obtained by laminating these resins on another base material (metal, wood, paper, ceramics, etc.) may be used.
[0048]
The base film 11 may be an unstretched film, a uniaxially stretched oriented film, or a biaxially stretched oriented film, and is a film that has been surface-treated (corona discharge treatment, etc.), anchor coated, or undercoated. You may. By applying corona treatment, low temperature plasma treatment, atmospheric pressure plasma, etc. to the coated surface (the surface on which the film is formed) of the base film 11, good wettability to the coating liquid and adhesive strength to the film can be obtained. can get.
[0049]
The thickness of the base film 11 is not particularly limited, and the suitability as a packaging material and the suitability for laminating other films are determined.It will be selected as appropriate depending on the price and application, taking into consideration. The thickness of the base film is practically 3 μm to 200 μm, preferably 5 μm to 120 μm, and more preferably 10 μm to 100 μm.
[0050]
In the base film 11, the base film itself may have a heat seal property so that the outermost surface of one or both of the packaging materials has a heat seal property. Since the base film itself has a heat-sealing property, it is possible to manufacture a packaging material without attaching a sealant film to the base film or providing a sealant layer.
[0051]
As the inorganic oxide layer 14, the same inorganic oxide layer 4 as that of the above-described embodiment can be applied.
[0052]
The deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 13 contains at least a water-soluble polymer (hydroxyl polymer compound) and water-swellable mica. Since the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 13 is provided in contact with the surface of the inorganic oxide layer 14 opposite to the base material, the barrier property of the inorganic oxide layer 14 can be improved even when the base film 11 is deformed by heat or the like. By supplementing with the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 13, the barrier property can be maintained.
[0053]
[Water-soluble polymer]
A water-soluble polymer is a polymer that can be completely dissolved or finely dispersed in water at a specific temperature. The water-soluble polymer is not particularly limited as long as it is a compound capable of penetrating and coordinating (intercalating) between the unit crystal layers of the inorganic layered mineral described later, and is not particularly limited, for example, polyvinyl alcohol and its above. Derivatives, cellulose derivatives such as carboxymethyl cellulose and hydroxyethyl cellulose, starches such as oxidized starch, etherified starch, and dextrin, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyacrylic acid, and polymethacrylic acid or esters thereof, salts and copolymers thereof, sulfos. Copolymerized polyesters containing polar groups such as isophthalic acid, vinyl-based polymers such as polyhydroxyethylmethacrylate and its copolymers, urethane-based polymers, or functional group-modified weights such as carboxyl groups of these various polymers. Coalescence etc. can be mentioned.
[0054]
The water-soluble polymer is, for example, a polyvinyl alcohol resin having a saponification degree of 95% or more. The higher the degree of saponification and the degree of polymerization, the lower the hygroscopicity and swelling property of the polyvinyl alcohol resin tends to be, and when the degree of saponification is 95% or more, sufficient gas barrier properties can be easily obtained.
[0055]
When the water-soluble polymer is a polyvinyl alcohol resin, at least one of the polyvinyl alcohol resins may be a polyvinyl alcohol-based polymer and a derivative thereof.
[0056]
The degree of polymerization of the polyvinyl alcohol resin is, for example, 1100 to 2300, and may be 1500 to 2000. When the degree of polymerization of the polyvinyl alcohol resin is within the above range, a film having improved gas barrier properties and cohesive strength of the coating layer can be obtained.
[0057]
[Water-swelling mica]
Mica is a type of inorganic layered mineral in which ultra-thin unit crystal layers overlap to form one layered particle. Mica includes natural mica and synthetic mica. For example, white mica, phlogopite, black mica, potassium phlogopite, potassium tetrasilicon mica, potassium teniolite, potassium / fluorine tetrasilicon mica sodium / fluorine tetrasilicon mica, sodium phlogopite, sodium tetrasilicon mica, sodium hectrite, etc. Can be mentioned. For the purposes of the present invention, one type of mica can be used, or two or more different types of mica can be combined together.
[0058]
As the mica, those that swell and cleave in water are preferable, and among these, water-swellable mica having swelling property to water is particularly preferably used. More specifically, it is a synthetic mica that coordinates water between ultrathin unit crystal layers and has the property of absorbing and swelling. Generally, Si 4+ coordinates with O 2- and has a tetrahedral structure. The layer constituting the octahedral structure and the layer in which Al 3+, Mg 2+, Fe 2+, Fe 3+, etc. are coordinated with respect to O 2- and OH − to form an octahedral structure are one-to-one or two pairs. It is a compound that is bonded at 1 and stacked to form a layered structure. For example, sodium / fluorine tetrasilicon mica is preferable.
[0059]
As for the size of the water-swellable mica, the aspect ratio of the water-swellable mica is, for example, 10 to 200, even if it is 50 to 150, from the viewpoint that the barrier property of the film is improved when the aspect ratio is high. good. When the aspect ratio of the water-swellable mica is in the above range, it is highly possible that a film having improved gas barrier properties can be obtained, and at the same time, it is possible to prevent a decrease in the cohesive strength of the coating layer and the adhesion strength of the coating layer to the substrate. be able to.
[0060]
The area average diameter (MA) of the water-swellable mica is, for example, 0.5 μm to 5 μm, may be 1 μm to 3 μm, or may be 1.5 μm to 2.5 μm. The area average diameter is the average particle diameter weighted by the area. When the area average diameter of the water-swellable mica is in the above range, the water-swellable mica is more uniformly dispersed in the coating layer without precipitation, so that the gas barrier property and transparency are maintained or improved. Can be obtained.
[0061]
When water-swellable synthetic mica is used as the water-swellable mica, the water-swellable synthetic mica is highly compatible with water-soluble polymers and has less impurities than natural mica, so it is derived from impurities. It does not cause a decrease in gas barrier property and a decrease in cohesive strength of the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer. Although not limited by a specific mechanism, the water-swellable synthetic mica has a fluorine atom in the crystal structure, which contributes to keeping the humidity dependence of the gas barrier property of the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer low. Conceivable. Furthermore, since it has a higher aspect ratio than other water-swellable inorganic layered minerals, the maze effect works more effectively, and in particular, it contributes to the high gas barrier property of the coating layer.
[0062]
In particular, when the water-soluble polymer is a polyvinyl alcohol resin, the water-swellable synthetic mica has high compatibility with the polyvinyl alcohol resin. In addition, when the area average diameter of the water-swellable synthetic mica is, for example, 0.5 μm to 5 μm, further 1 μm to 3 μm, or 1.5 μm to 2.5 μm, the water-swellable synthetic mica is used. Has higher compatibility with polyvinyl alcohol resin.
[0063]
When the water-swellable synthetic mica has a higher compatibility with the polyvinyl alcohol resin, polyvinyl alcohol having a higher degree of polymerization can be used. By using polyvinyl alcohol having a higher degree of polymerization, a film having a more improved gas barrier property can be obtained. Specifically, when the area average diameter of the water-swellable synthetic mica is, for example, 0.5 μm to 5 μm, further 1 μm to 3 μm, or 1.5 μm to 2.5 μm, the degree of polymerization of polyvinyl alcohol is determined. The number can be 1100 or more, and a film having a more improved gas barrier property can be obtained.
[0064]
Assuming that the total mass of the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 13 is 100 parts by mass, the content of the water-swellable mica in the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 13 is, for example, within the approximate range shown by 5 parts by mass to 35 parts by mass. .. This value may be 7 parts by mass or more, 10 parts by mass or more, or 12 parts by mass or more. This value may be 30 parts by mass or less, 20 parts by mass or less, less than 20 parts by mass, or 17 parts by mass or less. In particular, this content may be in the range of 10 parts by mass or more and less than 20 parts by mass or 15 parts by mass. The deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 13 can be formed by using a coating liquid containing a hydroxyl group-containing polymer compound and water-swellable mica as a solid content. The solid content ratio of the water-swellable mica to the total solid content of this coating liquid may be adjusted to be within a desired range.
[0065]
When the content of the water-swellable mica in the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 13 is equal to or higher than the above lower limit, excellent gas barrier properties are exhibited due to the maze effect of the water-swellable mica, and the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 3B is excellent. Moisture resistance can be imparted. On the other hand, when the content of the water-swellable mica is not more than the upper limit value, the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 13 can follow the deformation of the base film 11, so that the inorganic oxide layer 14 can be stably protected. Excellent abuse resistance is demonstrated. Further, when the content of the water-swellable mica is in the above range, excellent adhesion strength between the inorganic oxide layer 14 and the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 13 is achieved.
[0066]
The deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 13 can be formed by a known wet coating method. For example, the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 13 is formed by applying a coating liquid containing at least a water-soluble polymer and water-swellable mica as main constituents, and then drying and removing the solvent component.
[0067]
The coating liquid may contain, as the solvent, a solvent that is mainly water and is dissolved or uniformly mixed in water. Examples of the solvent include alcohols such as methanol, ethanol and isopropanol, ketones such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone, ethers such as tetrahydrofuran, cellosolves, carbitols, and nitriles such as acetonitrile.
[0068]
The wet coating method used includes roll coating, gravure coating, reverse coating, die coating, screen printing, spray coating and the like. Using these wet coating methods, the coating liquid is applied to one or both surfaces of the base film. As a method for drying the coating film, known drying methods such as hot air drying, hot roll drying, and infrared irradiation are used.
[0069]
The thickness of the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer formed on the inorganic oxide layer 14 may be, for example, 0.1 μm to 1 μm, 0.15 μm to 0.7 μm, or 0.2 μm to 0. It may be .5 μm. When the thickness of the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer is 0.1 μm or more, sufficient gas barrier properties can be easily obtained. On the other hand, if the thickness of the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer exceeds 1 μm, not only is it difficult to provide a uniform coating film surface, but also an increase in drying load and an increase in manufacturing cost are not preferable.
[0070]
The thickness of the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer formed on the inorganic oxide layer 14 is increased by adjusting the average particle size of the water-swellable mica contained in the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer while maintaining sufficient barrier properties. Can be thinned. This is because the water-swellable mica is more uniformly dispersed in the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer by adjusting the average particle size of the water-swellable mica contained in the deformation-resistant barrier coat layer. For example, when the area average diameter of the water-swellable mica is in the range of 0.5 μm to 5 μm, 1 μm to 3 μm, or 1.5 μm to 2.5 μm, deformation resistance is maintained while maintaining sufficient barrier properties. The thickness of the barrier coat layer can be reduced to 1 μm or less.
[0071]
The deformation-resistant barrier coat layer 13 may contain various additives as long as it does not impair the gas barrier property and the strength as a packaging material. Additives include, for example, antioxidants, weathering agents, heat stabilizers, lubricants, crystal nucleating agents, UV absorbers, plasticizers, antistatic agents, colorants, fillers, surfactants, silane coupling agents and the like. Can be mentioned.
[0072]
The adhesion improving layer 5 (see FIG. 3) may be provided between the inorganic oxide layer 14 and the base film 11. Since the surface on which the inorganic oxide layer 4 is formed is flattened by the adhesion improving layer 5, further improvement in barrier properties is expected.
[0073]

FIG. 5 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing the configuration of the packaging material according to the present embodiment. The packaging material 100 includes a barrier film 10, an adhesive layer 20, and a sealant layer 30 in this order. The barrier film 10 includes a base film 1 and a barrier layer 2. An adhesive layer 20 is provided between the barrier layer 2 of the barrier film 10 and the sealant layer 30. The ink layer 40 is provided on the surface of the barrier layer 2 (the surface opposite to the side surface of the base film 1).
[0074]
The barrier film 10 has, for example, the same configuration as any of the barrier films 10A to 10D according to the above embodiment.
[007 Five]
The adhesive constituting the adhesive layer 20 includes acrylic, polyester, ethylene-vinyl acetate, urethane, vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate, chlorinated polypropylene, and other adhesives, depending on the material of each layer to be laminated. Can be used. As the adhesive, a solvent-free adhesive may be used. The adhesive layer 20 can be formed by using, for example, a roll coater, a reverse roll coater, a gravure coater, a micro gravure coater, a knife coater, a bar coater, a wire bar coater, a die coater, a dip coater, or the like. The amount of the adhesive applied is, for example, 1 g / m 2 to 10 g / m 2.
[0076]
The sealant layer 30 functions as an adhesive portion when packaging the contents using the packaging material. Examples of the material constituting the sealant layer 30 include an unstretched polyethylene film and an unstretched polypropylene film. The thickness of the sealant layer 30 is, for example, 15 μm to 200 μm.
[0077]
The sealant layer 30 is preferably made of the same plastic material as the base film 1. For example, when the base film 1 is a polyethylene film, the sealant layer 30 is also preferably a polyethylene film, and when the base film 1 is a polypropylene film, the sealant layer 30 is also preferably a polyethylene film. Here, the same plastic material means that the base film 1 and the main component plastic material constituting the sealant layer 30 are the same, and it means that they can be recycled by the same recycling process. It may contain different other ingredients as long as it is recyclable in the same recycling process. When the two base films are made of the same plastic material, it can be made suitable for recycling as a packaging material. The sealant layer 30 may contain a resin material derived from biomass or a recycled product.
[0078]
The ink layer 40 is a layer on which characters, patterns, etc. are formed for practical use as a packaging bag or the like. For example, with an ink obtained by adding various pigments, extender pigments and plasticizers, desiccants, stabilizers and other additives to ink binder resins such as urethane, acrylic, nitrocellulose, rubber and vinyl chloride. It is a constituent layer. Biomass ink and flexographic ink may be used as the ink. The ink layer 40 may be provided on the surface of the base film 1.
[0079]
The oxygen permeability of the barrier film 10 is, for example, 10 cm 3 / m 2 · day · atm or less, and can be 5 cm 3 / m 2 · day · atm or less. The water vapor transmission rate of the barrier film 10 is, for example, 3 g / m 2 · day or less, and can be 1.5 g / m 2 · day or less.
[0080] [0080]
The oxygen permeability of the packaging material 100 can be, for example, 10 cm 3 / m 2 · day · atm or less, and 5 cm 3 / m 2 · day · atm or less. The water vapor transmission rate of the packaging material 100 is, for example, 5 g / m 2 · day or less, and can be 1.5 g / m 2 · day or less. The packaging material 100 can be used, for example, as a flexible packaging material for dry contents, liquid contents, foods, and non-food products.
[0081]
The peel strength (laminate strength) of the barrier film 10 may be 1N / 15 mm or more, or 2N / 15 mm or more. This peel strength is the peel strength when the surface of the barrier film 10 on the barrier layer 2 side and the sealant layer 30 (or another plastic film) are bonded to each other via the adhesive layer 20. This peeling strength was measured according to the peeling adhesive strength test method for T-type peeling (JIS K6854-3, ISO11339) or the peeling adhesive strength test method for 180 degree peeling (JIS K6854-2, ISO8510-2). Means a value. The measurement sample may be prepared by cutting a laminate containing the barrier film 10 into strips having a width of 15 mm.
[0082]
The heat seal strength when the sealant layers 30 of the packaging material 100 are heat-sealed may be 15 N / 15 mm or more, or 30 N / 15 mm or more. This heat seal strength means a value measured according to a peeling adhesive strength test method (JIS K6854-3, ISO11339) in T-type peeling. The measurement sample may be prepared by cutting a laminate containing the packaging material 100 after heat sealing into strips having a width of 15 mm.
