Specification

Title of Invention: Method for manufacturing package, film for packaging material, laminated film and packaging material comprising the same
Technical field
[0001]
The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing a package, a film for packaging material, and a laminated film and packaging material having the same.
Background technology
[0002]
Conventionally, packaging materials have been developed for many products such as food, beverages, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals according to their contents. In particular, as packaging materials for contents such as liquids, semi-solids or gels, plastic materials are used which are excellent in water resistance, oil resistance, gas barrier properties, lightness, flexibility, design and the like.
[0003]
For the purpose of providing higher functionality as packaging materials for contents such as liquids, semi-solids, or gel substances, packaging materials having the following configurations, for example, have been proposed.
・Plastic laminate in which multiple types of plastic substrates are laminated
・Composite laminate of paper, metal foil, inorganic material, etc. and plastic substrate
・Composites in which a plastic substrate is treated with a functional composition
[0004]
As one of the above-mentioned high functions, for example, a function that suppresses the adhesion of contents to the inner surface of the packaging material, that is, the function of suppressing the remaining contents is required. More specifically, lid materials for containers such as yogurt, jelly, and syrup; packaging materials for retort food such as porridge, soup, curry, and pasta sauce; and liquid, semi-solid, and gel substances such as chemicals and pharmaceuticals. Such film materials for storage containers are required to have excellent liquid repellency on the inner surface of which the contents are less likely to adhere and easily slide off. This prevents the content from adhering to the inner surface, resulting in waste due to the inability to use up all the content, the occurrence of stains due to the adherence of the content, and the time and effort required to discharge the content. It's for.
[0005]
In response to these demands, Patent Document 1, for example, discloses a packaging container for storing cooked foods, which has an inner surface made of resin and on which an oil film made of a highly viscous oily liquid that satisfies predetermined conditions is formed. Proposed. Further, Patent Document 2 discloses a heat seal layer containing polyolefin particles having an average particle size D50 of 10 to 50 μm and a melting point of 100 to 180° C., and having a surface roughness Ra of 1.00 to 7.00 μm. A packaging sheet is proposed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0007]
By the way, a package that contains curry, pasta sauce, etc. with a packaging material is subjected to retort treatment at a temperature of, for example, about 120°C. In the invention described in Patent Document 1, it is assumed that an oil film is formed by spraying a high-viscosity oily liquid (see paragraph [0032] of Patent Document 1). This oil film has insufficient durability against heat treatment such as retort treatment. In addition, it is necessary to select the type of high-viscosity oily liquid to be used according to the contents, and it is considered necessary to prepare different formulations. On the other hand, the packaging sheet described in Patent Literature 2 is insufficient in slipping properties of oil-in-water dispersion type contents (for example, curry). This is presumed to be due to the relatively rough surface of the heat seal layer (surface roughness Ra: 1.00 to 7.00 μm).
[0008]
The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a package that is excellent in sliding down of oil-in-water dispersion type contents. The present disclosure also provides films for packaging materials and laminated films and packaging materials comprising the same. In the present disclosure, the oil-in-water dispersion type content means a content containing water and lipid, and the content of water is higher than the content of lipid. "Fat" is a concept that includes oil that is liquid at 20°C (normal temperature) and fat that is solid at 20°C. Hereinafter, the oil contained in the oil-in-water dispersion type content and the fat that becomes liquid by the heat treatment applied to the package according to the present disclosure are collectively referred to as “oil” or “oil”. called.
Means to solve problems
[0009]
One aspect of the present disclosure provides a method of manufacturing a package. This manufacturing method includes the following steps.
(A) A packaging material comprising an innermost layer containing a resin composition containing a polypropylene resin and a filler dispersed in the resin composition, wherein the ratio Y between the thickness X μm of the innermost layer and the average particle diameter Y μm of the filler is Y μm. A step of preparing a packaging material where /X is 0.02 to 3.5
(B) A step of producing a package having the above-mentioned packaging material and an oil-in-water dispersion type content housed in a sealed state by the above-mentioned packaging material.
(C) a step of heat-treating the package to allow the innermost layer to absorb the oil contained in the contents;
[0010]
When the ratio Y/X of the thickness X μm of the innermost layer and the average particle diameter Y μm of the filler is 0.02 to 3.5, the innermost surface of the packaging material has moderate unevenness (for example, arithmetic mean roughness Sa: 0.3 μm or more and less than 1.0 μm). In step (C), the innermost layer absorbs oil, or absorbs oil and swells to increase the lipophilicity of the innermost surface, and between the innermost surface and the contents, an oil film derived from the contents is formed. easier to form. Due to the synergistic effect of the unevenness of the innermost surface and the improvement of lipophilicity due to oil absorption, the oil film is stably formed between the innermost surface and the contents (see FIG. 2(b)). By interposing an oil film between the innermost surface and the contents, direct contact of the contents with the innermost surface is suppressed, and excellent slipping property of the contents including water is obtained. In other words, the oil film derived from the oil-in-water dispersion type content contributes to the development of excellent slideability. A polypropylene resin usually contains a crystalline part and an amorphous part, and the amorphous part has higher oil absorption than the crystalline part. In addition, polypropylene resin has heat-sealing properties. The innermost layer comprising polypropylene resin may serve as a sealant film.
[0011]
One aspect of the present disclosure provides a packaging film. This packaging film has a first resin layer containing a resin composition containing a polypropylene resin and a filler dispersed in the resin composition, and the average thickness of the first resin layer is X μm and the filler is The ratio Y/X of the particle diameter Y μm is 0.02 to 3.5. This packaging film is suitably applied to the method for manufacturing the package. Polypropylene resin has heat-sealing properties. A packaging film comprising a first resin layer containing a polypropylene resin may be used as a sealant film.
[0012]
The arithmetic mean roughness Sa of the first surface of the first resin layer (the innermost surface of the packaging material film) is, for example, 0.3 μm or more from the viewpoint of stable oil film formation and excellent slipping property of the contents. less than 0.0 μm. From a similar point of view, the first surface of the first resin layer (the innermost surface of the packaging material film) has a protruding peak volume Vmp of, for example, 0.08 to 0.3 μm 3 /μm 2 .
[0013]
The packaging material film may have a single layer structure consisting of only the first resin layer, or may have a multilayer structure including the first resin layer and the second resin layer. The second resin layer is provided, for example, on the second surface (surface opposite to the first surface) of the first resin layer.
[0014]
The first resin layer may further contain at least one additive selected from the group consisting of the following resin materials (i) to (vii) from the viewpoint of exhibiting even more excellent slipping properties. The amorphous part (rubber component) contained in these resin materials has the property of absorbing oil, and promotes the formation of a stable and uniform oil film in the step (C) and thereafter, thereby allowing the contents to slide down. It is possible to further improve the property.
(i) Block copolymer of polypropylene and polyethylene
(ii) a block copolymer of polyethylene and ethylene-butylene
(iii) a block copolymer of polyethylene and ethylene-octene
(iv) Ethylene-based elastomer
(v) propylene elastomer
(vi) butene elastomer
(vii) Reactor TPO
[0015]
From the viewpoint of compatibility with the polypropylene resin contained in the first resin layer, the first resin layer preferably contains at least (v) a propylene-based elastomer among the above additives. At least one of the softening point and the melting point of the additive is preferably 130° C. or lower from the viewpoint of exhibiting even more excellent slipping properties after the heat treatment. The softening point of the additive may be a value measured using a thermomechanical analyzer (TMA), or may be a manufacturer's catalog value. The melting point of the additive may be a value measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), or may be a manufacturer's catalog value.
[0016]

A laminated film according to the present disclosure includes a substrate and the packaging film provided on the substrate, and the first resin layer is disposed on at least one outermost surface. The packaging material according to the present disclosure is suitably used for a package that contains an oil-in-water dispersion type content in a sealed state and that is subjected to heat treatment.

MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0019]
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same or corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant explanations are omitted. Also, the dimensional ratios in the drawings are not limited to the illustrated ratios.
[0020]

FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view schematically showing one embodiment of the packaging material according to this embodiment. A packaging material 10 shown in FIG. 1 includes a first resin layer 1 containing polypropylene resin as a base material, a second resin layer 2 , an adhesive layer 3 and a substrate 5 . The first resin layer 1 is arranged on the outermost surface of the packaging material 10, and when a package (for example, a retort pouch) is produced using the packaging material 10, the surface F1 of the first resin layer 1 (first surface) is the innermost surface of the package. In this embodiment, the first resin layer 1 and the second resin layer 2 constitute a packaging film. The second resin layer 2 is provided on the surface F2 (second surface) opposite to the surface F1 of the first resin layer 1 .
[0021]
The packaging material 10 is used to contain the contents of the oil-in-water dispersion type. The lipid content of the oil-in-water dispersion type content is, for example, 0.1% by mass or more and less than 50% by mass, and may be 0.5 to 40% by mass or 1 to 20% by mass. The oil-in-water dispersion type content in the present embodiment includes a composition having a water content higher than the oil content (water-rich) and oil dispersed therein. Specific examples of oil-in-water dispersion type include curry, hayashi, pasta sauce (eg, meat sauce), and pet food. The content of lipids contained in curry is, for example, about 0.2 to 15% by mass, and the amount of water contained in curry is, for example, about 70 to 90% by mass.
[0022]
The mechanism by which the first resin layer 1 develops the ability to slide down the contents of the oil-in-water dispersion type will be described with reference to FIGS. 2(a) to 2(c). As shown in FIG. 2(a), the surface F1 of the first resin layer 1 has unevenness caused by the filler 1b. Moreover, the polypropylene resin, which is the main component of the first resin layer 1, has the property of absorbing oil and swelling under the temperature conditions of retort treatment and boiling treatment. For this reason, when the content C of the oil-in-water dispersion type is subjected to heat treatment while being in contact with the surface F1 of the first resin layer 1, as schematically indicated by an arrow in FIG. A part of the oil content C 2 O contained in the substance C is absorbed by the first resin layer 1 . This makes the surface The lipophilicity of F1 is improved. An oil film F 2 O is stably formed between the surface F1 and the content C due to the synergistic effect of the unevenness of the surface F1 and the improvement in lipophilicity due to oil absorption. The presence of the oil film FO between the surface F1 and the content C suppresses the direct contact of the content C with the surface F1 and makes the content C slippery with the oil film FO as an interface. . Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2(c), the content C slides down from the surface F1 simply by tilting the surface F1.
[0023]
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view showing Wenzel's model applied when the roughness of the surface F1 is relatively small. In this model, the oil droplet D 0 dropped onto the surface F1 enters the recesses of the surface F1, and the entire surface F1 is wet. According to the studies of the present inventors, the mechanism by which the oil film F 2 O is likely to be formed on the surface F1 can be explained by Wenzel's model. On the other hand, when the roughness of the surface F1 is relatively large, the height of the unevenness is likely to be higher than the height of the oil film. According to the studies of the present inventors, if the surface roughness of the surface F1 is too large, the contents are likely to be caught on the irregularities, which hinders the contents from sliding down (see Comparative Examples 2 and 3).
[0024]
The first resin layer 1, the second resin layer 2, the base material 5, and the adhesive layer 3 that constitute the packaging material 10 will be described below.

The first resin layer 1 contains a resin composition 1a containing polypropylene resin and fillers 1b dispersed in the resin composition 1a. The content of the polypropylene resin in the resin composition 1a is, for example, 75% by mass or more, and may be 80% by mass or more, or 90% by mass or more. The resin composition 1a may consist essentially of a polypropylene resin.
[0025]
Examples of polypropylene resins include homopolypropylene, block polypropylene, random polypropylene and modified polypropylene. The block polypropylene here is different from (C1) a block copolymer of polypropylene and polyethylene (compatibilizer) described later, and generally EPR (rubber component) and polyethylene are dispersed in the homopolypropylene at the polymerization stage. It has a structure that When block polypropylene and random polypropylene are used in combination as polypropylene resin, the mass ratio of block polypropylene and random polypropylene (block polypropylene/random polypropylene) is preferably 20/80 to 80/20, preferably 40/60. ~60/40 is more preferred.
[0026]
Modified polypropylene is obtained by graft-modifying polypropylene with, for example, an unsaturated carboxylic acid derivative component derived from an unsaturated carboxylic acid, an unsaturated carboxylic acid anhydride, an unsaturated carboxylic acid ester, or the like. Modified polypropylene such as hydroxyl-modified polypropylene and acrylic-modified polypropylene can also be used as the polypropylene resin. Examples of the α-olefin component used to obtain the propylene-based copolymer include 1-butene, 1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-heptene, 1-octene, 4-methyl-1-pentene, and the like. can.

It is 25 parts by mass, more preferably 2 to 20 parts by mass, and still more preferably 3 to 15 parts by mass. The amorphous portion (rubber component) contained in the resin components (i) to (vii) has the property of absorbing oil. Therefore, these resin components promote the formation of a stable and uniform oil film F 2 O (see FIG. 2(b)), thereby further improving the slideability of the contents C.
[0029]
From the viewpoint of compatibility with the polypropylene resin contained in the first resin layer 1, the first resin layer 1 contains at least (v) propylene among the resin components (additives) of (i) to (vii). It preferably contains a system elastomer. At least one of the softening point and the melting point of the resin component is preferably 130° C. or lower, more preferably 120° C. or lower, from the viewpoint of exhibiting even more excellent slipping properties after heat treatment.

Examples of silica fillers include the Smooth Master series manufactured by Dainichiseika Kogyo Co., Ltd., the Silophobic series manufactured by Fuji Silysia Chemical Co., Ltd., and the Admafine SO series manufactured by Admatechs.
[0031]
The average particle size (Yμm) of the filler 1b can be obtained as follows.

(1) A filler is dispersed in a dispersion medium. The dispersion medium is, for example, water or an organic solvent, and an appropriate one is selected according to the type of filler.
(2) Using a laser diffraction particle size distribution analyzer (product name: MT3300EXII, manufactured by Microtrack Bell), the average particle size of the filler is calculated by a laser diffraction/scattering method.

If the laser diffraction particle size distribution measurement is not suitable or difficult, the average particle size of the filler may be determined using an optical microscope such as a scanning electron microscope (SEM) or a laser microscope. For any given particle within the field of view of the microscope, the length of the longest diameter and the shortest diameter of the particle is measured, and the sum divided by 2 is taken as the particle diameter. Particle diameters are measured and calculated for a plurality of particles, and the average thereof is regarded as the average particle diameter. The number of the arbitrary particles is preferably 10 or more.
[0032]
The average particle size (Y μm) of the filler 1b is, for example, 1 to 100 μm, preferably 2 to 80 μm, more preferably 3 to 50 μm, still more preferably 5 to 30 μm. When the average particle size of the filler 1b is within the above range, the surface F1 of the first resin layer 1 can be provided with appropriate unevenness. The content of the filler 1b in the first resin layer 1 is, for example, 0.5 to 10 parts by mass, preferably 1 to 8 parts by mass, and more preferably 2 to 8 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the polypropylene resin. part by mass.

The thickness (X μm) of the first resin layer 1 is, for example, 2 to 100 μm, preferably 4 to 70 μm, more preferably 6 to 50 μm, still more preferably 8 to 30 μm. When the thickness of the first resin layer 1 is within the above range, both the slideability of the contents and the heat sealability can be achieved at a high level. The first resin layer 1 contains a heat-sealable polypropylene resin and can also serve as a sealant film. The heat-sealability is, for example, a property that enables heat-sealing under the conditions of 100 to 200° C., 0.1 to 0.3 MPa, and 1 to 3 seconds.
[0035]
The ratio Y/X between the thickness X μm of the first resin layer 1 and the average particle diameter Y μm of the filler 1b is 0.02 to 3.5. When the ratio Y/X is within the above range, when the first resin layer 1 is deposited, moderate unevenness is formed on the surface F1. When the ratio Y/X is less than 0.02, unevenness on the surface F1 is not sufficiently formed, resulting in insufficient expression of slipping properties. On the other hand, if the ratio Y/X exceeds 3.5, excessive unevenness is formed on the surface F1, and this unevenness may hinder the sliding down of the contents. The ratio Y/X is preferably 0.05 or more, more preferably 0.1 or more, and still more preferably 0.3 or more. The ratio Y/X is preferably 3.0 or less, more preferably 2.5 or less, still more preferably 1.8 or less, and may be 1.5 or less or 1.2 or less.
