【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、包装用資材、装飾用基材、テープ用基材等に用いられるポリオレフィン系樹脂からなる積層フィルムに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、衛生性、経済性、取り扱いの簡便さ等からプラスチックスフィルムによる包装が多くなっている。このような包装に使用されるプラスチックスフィルムでは、低密度ポリエチレン(以下LDPEという)やエチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体(以下EVAという)を使用している。また、シール強度や耐圧強度が必要とされる場合は、直鎖状低密度ポリエチレン(以下LLDPEという)が用いられる。LLDPEはLDPEやEVAに比べて引張強度や引裂強度に優れた樹脂であり、優れたシール性を示すことから、様々な用途に使用されている。このようなプラスチックスフィルムを用いた包装形態としては、例えば、パウチ包装が挙げられる。このようなプラスチックパウチ包装においては,刃物等の道具を用いることなく、通常、パウチ端部に設けられた切れ目(ノッチ)から容易に引裂くことによって簡単に開封できるようになっている。また、プラスチックフィルムは、中身の視認性を高めるために透明なものが多いが、近年では、鮮やかな印刷を施したもの、保香性、ガスバリヤー性等を持たせるためアルミ箔等の不透明な層を積層したもの等もあり透明なものに限られない。更は、内容物の保護という点から緩衝効果のある包装資材への要求もある。容易な引裂性を出すためには用いるプラスチックスフィルムを延伸配向する方法があるが、用いる素材によっては、適度の引裂性を得る事ができない場合がある。また、非相溶性樹脂同志をブレンドしたフィルムを用いる方法もあるが(特開平9−111060号公報、特開平4−19137号公報)、強度が不充分な場合があったり、充分な引裂性が得られない場合がある。更に、高密度ポリエチレン(以下HDPEという)等の配向し易い樹脂を一部の層に入れる方法もあるが、充分な引裂性が得られない場合がある。そして上記の従来の引裂性を付与する方法では、包装用資材として使用する際、緩衝効果を出すために厚みを厚くする必要があるが、その場合引裂性は更に低下する。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明の目的は、緩衝性と引裂性に優れた積層フィルムを提供することにある。
【0004】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の積層フィルムでは、中間層と両外層を有し、中間層はMFRが1〜50g/10分であるポリオレフィン系樹脂を発泡させた層であり、両外層はMFRが0.5〜15g/10分であるポリオレフィン系樹脂からなる層であり、厚みが20〜200μである。更に、両外層の合計厚みと中間層との厚みの比が1:0.5〜20であることが好ましい。
【0005】
上記MFRは、樹脂の溶融流動性の尺度(メルトフローレシオという)であり、ASTM−D1238に準拠して測定される。
【0006】
本発明で用いる中間層のポリオレフィン系樹脂を発泡させた層は、例えば、ポリオレフィン系樹脂に熱分解型発泡剤を添加した樹脂組成物をフィルムに成形した後、加熱発泡する方法、ポリオレフィン系樹脂に物理型発泡剤を圧入した樹脂組成物をフィルム状に押出発泡する方法等により形成される。
【0007】
上記ポリオレフィン系樹脂としては、低密度ポリエチレン、高密度ポリエチレン、直鎖状低密度ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、エチレンー酢酸ビニル共重合体等を用いることができ、これらは単一で用いても2種以上をブレンドしても良い。
【0008】
上記ポリオレフィン系樹脂のMFRは、低くなると薄いフィルムに成形しようとすると穴があいたり、フィルムが切れ易くなり、高くなるとフィルムに成形することが難しくなるので1〜50g/10分であり、より好ましくは、2〜30g/10分である。
【0009】
上記熱分解型発泡剤としては、特に限定されるものではないが、例えば、重炭酸ナトリウム、炭酸アンモニウム、重炭酸アンモニウム、亜硝酸アンモニウム、硼水素化ナトリウム、アジド化合物、軽金属等の無機系発泡剤、アゾジカルボンアミド、アゾビスホルムアミド、アゾビスイソブチロニトリル、ジアゾアミノベンゼン、バリウムアゾカルボキシレート、N,N’−ジメチル−N,N’−ジニトロソテレフタルアジド、P,P’−オキシビススルホニルヒドラジド、ベンゼンスルホニルヒドラジド、トルエンスルホニルヒドラジド、ヒドラゾジカルボンアミド、トリヒドラジノトリアジン等の有機系発泡剤が挙げられる。
【0010】
上記熱分解型発泡剤は、単独又は2種以上を併用して用いることができる。好適には無機系発泡剤が用いられ、中でも重炭酸ナトリウムが好適である。
【0011】
上記熱分解型発泡剤の添加量は特に限定されないが、少なくなると充分な発泡ができなくなり、多くなると気泡が大きくなりすぎて得られる積層フィルムを薄くすることが難しくなるための、例えば、ポリオレフィン系樹脂100重量部に対して、0.2〜10重量部添加される。好ましくは、0.3〜5重量部添加される。
【0012】
上記物理型発泡剤としては、特に限定されるものではないが、例えば、ブタン、やペンタン等の脂肪族炭化水素、ジクロロメタン等の塩化炭化水素類、フロン化合物、窒素、二酸化炭素、空気、水等が挙げられ、これらは、押出機中に圧入される。
【0013】
本発明で用いられる外層は、MFRが0.5〜15g/10分であるポリオレフィン系樹脂からなる層である。
【0014】
上記ポリオレフィン系樹脂としては、特に限定されないが、例えば、低密度ポリエチレン、高密度ポリエチレン、直鎖状低密度ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、エチレンー酢酸ビニル共重合体等を用いることができこれらは単一で用いても、2種以上をブレンドしても良い。引裂性を良好にするには低密度ポリエチレン、高密度ポリエチレン、直鎖状低密度ポリエチレンを用いるのが好ましい。
【0015】
上記ポリオレフィン系樹脂のMFRは、低くなると薄いフィルムに成形しようとすると穴があいたり、フィルムが切れ易くなり、高くなると得られる積層フィルムの引裂性が低下するので0.5〜15g/10分であり、好ましくは、1〜12g/10分である。
【0016】
本発明では、目的を逸脱しないかぎりにおいて、無機充填剤、尿素、Zn、Cd、Cr、Pb化合物等の公知の発泡助剤、分散剤、顔料、酸化防止剤、帯電防止剤、紫外線吸収剤等を、中間層や外層に添加してもよい。
【0017】
本発明の積層フィルムは、上記中間層の両側に外層が積層一体化されたものであり、その厚みは、20〜200μである。
【0018】
本発明で用いる両外層の合計厚みと中間層の厚みの比は中間層厚みの割合が小さくなると発泡層が相対的に薄くなり得られる積層フィルムの引裂性が充分でなく、大きくなると両外層が相対的に薄くなりすぎ強度が低下するので、外層の合計厚み1に対して中間層厚み0.5〜20すなわち両外層の合計厚み:中間層厚みの比は1:0.5〜20が好ましい。
【0019】
本発明の積層フィルムの製造方法としては、特に限定されないが、得られる積層フィルムの厚みの制御がし易く、また、得られる積層フィルムの中間層が、均一な発泡状態を保持しており、優れた緩衝性、引裂性等を発現するので、中間層を構成する熱分解型発泡剤を含有するポリオレフィン系樹脂と外層を構成するポリオレフィン系樹脂とを共押出により積層し、Tダイ法、インフレーション法等の公知の方法によりフィルムに成形した後、加熱発泡する方法が好ましい。
【0020】
上記以外の製造方法としては、例えば、▲1▼中間層を構成する熱分解型発泡剤を含有するポリオレフィン系樹脂をフィルムに成形し、その両面に、別に成形した外層を構成するポリオレフィン系樹脂からなるフィルムを、熱ラミネート等により積層一体化した後、加熱発泡する方法、▲2▼中間層を構成する熱分解型発泡剤を含有するポリオレフィン系樹脂をフィルムに成形し、加熱発泡した後、その両面に、別に成形した外層を構成するポリオレフィン系樹脂からなるフィルムを、熱ラミネート等により積層一体化する方法、▲3▼中間層を構成するポリオレフィン系樹脂に押出熱中で物理型発泡剤を圧入し、外層を構成するポリオレフィン系樹脂と共押出しすることにより積層し、フィルムに押出発泡する方法、▲4▼中間層を構成するポリオレフィン系樹脂に押出機中で物理型発泡剤を圧入し、フィルムに押出発泡した後、その両面に、別に成形した外層を構成するポリオレフィン系樹脂を熱ラミネート等により積層一体化する方法等が挙げられる。
【0021】
また、上記▲1▼、▲2▼、▲4▼において使用する外層を構成するポリオレフィン系樹脂からなるフィルムは、一軸もしくは二軸方向に延伸されたものをもちいても良い。
【0022】

[0002]
[Prior art]
2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, packaging using plastics films has been increasing due to hygiene, economy, ease of handling, and the like. In plastic films used for such packaging, low-density polyethylene (hereinafter referred to as LDPE) or ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (hereinafter referred to as EVA) is used. When sealing strength or pressure resistance is required, a linear low-density polyethylene (hereinafter referred to as LLDPE) is used. LLDPE is a resin having excellent tensile strength and tear strength as compared with LDPE and EVA, and has excellent sealing properties, and is therefore used in various applications. As a packaging form using such a plastic film, for example, a pouch packaging can be mentioned. In such a plastic pouch package, usually, it is possible to easily open the package by easily tearing off a notch provided at the end of the pouch without using a tool such as a blade. In addition, plastic films are often transparent in order to enhance the visibility of the contents, but in recent years, those that have been printed vividly, opaque materials such as aluminum foil etc. in order to impart fragrance retention, gas barrier properties, etc. There is a laminate of layers and the like, and it is not limited to a transparent one. In addition, there is a demand for a packaging material having a buffering effect from the viewpoint of protecting the contents. There is a method of stretching a plastic film to be used in order to obtain easy tearability, but an appropriate tearability may not be obtained depending on a used material. There is also a method using a film in which incompatible resins are blended (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open Nos. Hei 9-111060 and Hei 4-19137), but sometimes the strength is insufficient or the tearing property is insufficient. May not be obtained. Furthermore, there is a method in which a resin which is easily oriented, such as high-density polyethylene (hereinafter referred to as HDPE), is put in some layers, but sufficient tearability may not be obtained in some cases. In the above-described conventional method of imparting tearability, when used as a packaging material, it is necessary to increase the thickness in order to provide a buffering effect, but in this case, the tearability further decreases.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
An object of the present invention is to provide a laminated film having excellent cushioning properties and tear properties.
[0004]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The laminated film of the present invention has an intermediate layer and both outer layers, the intermediate layer is a layer obtained by foaming a polyolefin resin having an MFR of 1 to 50 g / 10 minutes, and the outer layers have an MFR of 0.5 to 15 g. This is a layer made of a polyolefin resin having a thickness of 20 to 200 μm. Further, the ratio of the total thickness of both outer layers to the thickness of the intermediate layer is preferably 1: 0.5 to 20.
[0005]
The MFR is a measure of the melt flowability of a resin (referred to as melt flow ratio) and is measured according to ASTM-D1238.
[0006]
The layer obtained by foaming the polyolefin resin of the intermediate layer used in the present invention is, for example, a method in which a resin composition obtained by adding a pyrolytic foaming agent to a polyolefin resin is formed into a film, and then subjected to heat foaming. It is formed by, for example, a method of extruding and foaming a resin composition into which a physical foaming agent has been pressed into a film shape.
[0007]
Examples of the polyolefin resin include low-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer. You may.
[0008]
The MFR of the polyolefin-based resin is 1 to 50 g / 10 minutes, because when it is low, a hole is formed when a thin film is to be formed, or when the film is easily cut, and when it is high, it is difficult to form a film. Is 2 to 30 g / 10 minutes.
[0009]
Examples of the pyrolytic foaming agent include, but are not particularly limited to, inorganic foaming agents such as sodium bicarbonate, ammonium carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium nitrite, sodium borohydride, azide compounds, and light metals; Azodicarbonamide, azobisformamide, azobisisobutyronitrile, diazoaminobenzene, barium azocarboxylate, N, N′-dimethyl-N, N′-dinitrosoterephthalazide, P, P′-oxybissulfonylhydrazide Organic blowing agents such as benzenesulfonyl hydrazide, toluenesulfonyl hydrazide, hydrazodicarbonamide, and trihydrazinotriazine.
[0010]
The above-mentioned pyrolytic foaming agents can be used alone or in combination of two or more. Preferably, an inorganic blowing agent is used, and among them, sodium bicarbonate is preferable.
[0011]
The amount of the pyrolytic foaming agent to be added is not particularly limited. However, when the amount is small, sufficient foaming cannot be performed, and when the amount is large, it is difficult to reduce the thickness of the obtained laminated film due to too large bubbles. 0.2 to 10 parts by weight is added to 100 parts by weight of the resin. Preferably, 0.3 to 5 parts by weight is added.
[0012]
The physical foaming agent is not particularly limited, but includes, for example, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as butane and pentane, chlorinated hydrocarbons such as dichloromethane, chlorofluorocarbons, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, air, and water. Which are pressed into the extruder.
[0013]
The outer layer used in the present invention is a layer made of a polyolefin-based resin having an MFR of 0.5 to 15 g / 10 minutes.
[0014]
The polyolefin resin is not particularly limited, for example, low-density polyethylene, high-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer and the like can be used alone Also, two or more kinds may be blended. It is preferable to use a low-density polyethylene, a high-density polyethylene, or a linear low-density polyethylene in order to improve tearability.
[0015]
When the MFR of the polyolefin resin is low, a hole or a film is easily cut when trying to mold into a thin film, and when it is high, the tearability of the obtained laminated film is reduced. And preferably 1 to 12 g / 10 min.
[0016]
In the present invention, known foaming aids such as inorganic fillers, urea, Zn, Cd, Cr, and Pb compounds, dispersants, pigments, antioxidants, antistatic agents, ultraviolet absorbers, and the like, as long as they do not depart from the object. May be added to the intermediate layer or the outer layer.
[0017]
The laminated film of the present invention has an outer layer laminated and integrated on both sides of the intermediate layer, and has a thickness of 20 to 200 μm.
[0018]
The ratio of the total thickness of both outer layers and the thickness of the intermediate layer used in the present invention is such that the foamed layer is relatively thinner when the ratio of the intermediate layer thickness is smaller, and the tearability of the obtained laminated film is not sufficient. The thickness of the intermediate layer is preferably 0.5 to 20, that is, the ratio of the total thickness of both outer layers to the thickness of the intermediate layer is preferably 1: 0.5 to 20, with respect to the total thickness of the outer layers of 1, since the strength becomes lower because the layer becomes too thin. .
[0019]
The method for producing the laminated film of the present invention is not particularly limited, but it is easy to control the thickness of the obtained laminated film, and the intermediate layer of the obtained laminated film maintains a uniform foaming state, and is excellent. The polyolefin resin containing the thermal decomposition type foaming agent that constitutes the intermediate layer and the polyolefin resin that constitutes the outer layer are laminated by co-extrusion because they exhibit a buffering property, a tearing property, etc. After forming into a film by a known method such as, for example, heating and foaming are preferable.
[0020]
As a production method other than the above, for example, (1) a polyolefin-based resin containing a pyrolytic foaming agent constituting an intermediate layer is molded into a film, and on both surfaces thereof, a polyolefin-based resin constituting an outer layer separately molded is used. (2) a method in which the resulting film is laminated and integrated by heat lamination or the like, and then heat-foamed. (2) A polyolefin resin containing a pyrolytic foaming agent constituting an intermediate layer is formed into a film, and the film is heat-foamed. A method in which a film made of a polyolefin resin constituting an outer layer formed separately on both surfaces is laminated and integrated by thermal lamination or the like. (3) A physical foaming agent is pressed into the polyolefin resin constituting the intermediate layer in the heat of extrusion. A method of laminating by co-extrusion with a polyolefin resin constituting the outer layer and extruding and foaming into a film; (4) constituting an intermediate layer A method of press-fitting a physical foaming agent into a polyolefin resin in an extruder, extruding and foaming the film, and laminating and integrating a polyolefin resin constituting an outer layer separately formed on both surfaces by heat lamination or the like.
