【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムを層構成に含む積層体、特に横方向の引裂性及び引裂きの方向性に優れ、比較的高温においても引裂性が悪化することなく、かつ、低温時にも柔軟性を有する横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムに関するものであり、食品や医薬品などの包装用に好適で、開封が容易な包装材料を経済的に提供することができる横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムを層構成に含む積層体に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
フィルムにより包装された商品は使用時に開封する必要があり、一般には手で引裂くことが多く、易引裂性の要求が高まっている。また、二軸延伸ポリプロピレン積層フィルムを用いることもあるが、このフィルムにより形成した袋は開封用切口から容易に切開かれるものの方向性をもって引裂くのが困難であり、液体や粉体を包装した場合、切口が袋全体に及んで内容物が漏洩したり、クッキーなどのこわれやすい菓子などを包装した場合、切口が斜め切れして、取出し口が小さくなり、内容物を崩さずに取出すのが困難になるなどの難点がある。
【0003】
更に、開封を容易にするために、袋や外装に開封用切口を設けている場合が多いが、方向性をもって引裂くのが困難なことが多い。引裂性を向上させるためにポリプロピレンフィルム層に結晶性低分子量ポリオレフィンフィルム層を積層する方法(特開昭58−18260号公報など)が知られているが、この方法で得られた積層フィルムは任意方向に手切れ性があるために、前記フィルムと同様に方向性をもって引裂くことができない。また、引裂きの方向性をもったポリプロピレン系フィルムとして一軸延伸ホモポリプロピレンフィルムを用いる方法があるが、柔軟性に乏しく特に低温下では使用に耐えない。
【0004】
更に一軸延伸線状低密度ポリエチレンフィルムを用いる方法(特開昭59−78844号公報など)も知られているが、腰が弱く、高温下で使用する際は引裂性に乏しい。また、樹脂が柔軟なために、引裂き方向を変えたときには、充分な引裂性が得られないなどの難点がある。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、上述したような従来の易引裂性のフィルムの問題点を解決するものであって、良好な引裂性及び引裂きの方向性を有し、比較的高温時にも引裂性が悪化することなく、かつ、低温下においても充分な柔軟性を有し、また、燃焼時に有害な物質を排出することのない横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムを層構成に含む積層体を提供することを目的とする。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するため、本発明の横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムを層構成に含む積層体は、横一軸延伸されたプロピレンとプロピレン以外のα−オレフィンとからなり、プロピレン残基が占める割合が93〜99重量%であり、残りはプロピレン残基以外のα−オレフィン残基が占めるポリプロピレン系重合体スキンフィルム層(A層)と、該A層を構成する重合体よりも構成重合体中のプロピレン以外のα−オレフィンの割合が多く、プロピレン残基が占める割合が90〜98重量%であり、残りはプロピレン残基以外のα−オレフィン残基が占めるポリプロピレン系重合体からなる横一軸延伸されたベースフィルム層(B層)とを基本構成とする横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムのベースフィルム(B層)側に接着剤層を介して、延伸フィルムもしくは紙を積層してなることを特徴とする。ここで、プロピレン以外のα−オレフィンの割合とは、ポリプロピレン系重合体中のプロピレンとプロピレン以外のα−オレフィンとの合計量に対するプロピレン以外のα−オレフィンの割合(重量比)を意味する。
【0007】
上記の構成からなる本発明の横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムを層構成に含む積層体は、良好な引裂性及び引裂きの方向性を有し、比較的高温時にも引裂性が悪化することなく、かつ、低温下においても充分な柔軟性を有し、また、燃焼時に有害な物質を排出することがない。
【0008】
この場合、A層とB層とが、ともに横方向に2〜15倍延伸されて得られたフィルム層であることができる。
【0009】
また、この場合、A層の厚さが0.3〜20μmであることができる。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムを層構成に含む積層体の実施の形態を説明する。
【0011】
本発明に適用する横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムは実質的に横一軸延伸された、プロピレンとプロピレン以外のα−オレフィンとからなるポリプロピレン系重合体スキンフィルム層(A層)と、該A層を構成する重合体よりもプロピレン以外のα−オレフィンの割合が多いポリプロピレン系重合体からなる実質的に横一軸延伸されたベースフィルム層(B層)とを基本構成とする横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムである。
【0012】
本発明においては、実質的に横一軸延伸された、プロピレンとプロピレン以外のα−オレフィンとからなるポリプロピレン系重合体スキンフィルム層がベースフィルム層の少なくとも片面に積層されている。
【0013】
本発明において、スキンフィルム層を形成する重合体は融点が140℃以上、好ましくは融点が150℃以上のプロピレンを主体とした重合体であって、例えば、エチレン含有量が9重量%以下のエチレン/プロピレン共重合体、プロピレン含有量が90重量%以上のプロピレンと炭素数4〜6のα−オレフィンとの共重合体などであるのが好ましい。また、これらの重合体の混合物も使用される。ここで、スキンフィルム層を形成するポリプロピレン系重合体(重合体の混合物である場合を含む)中でプロピレン残基が占める割合は通常93〜99重量%、好ましくは95〜98重量%であり、残りはプロピレン残基以外のα−オレフィン残基が占める。
【0014】
本発明においては、実質的に横一軸延伸されたベースフィルム層(B層)を構成するポリプロピレン系重合体は、融点が140℃以上、好ましくは融点が150℃以上のプロピレンを主体とした重合体であって、スキンフィルム層を形成するポリプロピレン系重合体よりもその融点は用いられるプロピレン−α−オレフィン共重合体の種類にもよるが、DSCにて測定した場合、ほぼ同程度ないし約20℃程度低いのが通常である。また、ポリプロピレン系重合体スキンフィルム層を構成する重合体よりもプロピレン以外のα−オレフィンの割合が多く、例えばエチレン含有量が9重量%以下のエチレン/プロピレン共重合体、プロピレンが90重量%以上のプロピレンと炭素数が4〜6のα−オレフィンとの共重合体などやこれらの重量体の混合物も使用される。ここで、ベースフィルム層を形成するポリプロピレン系重合体(重合体である場合を含む)中でプロピレン残基が占める割合は通常90〜98重量%、好ましくは92〜97重量%であり、残りはプロピレン残基以外のα−オレフィン残基が占める。
【0015】
スキンフィルム層及びベースフィルム層を形成する原料重合体を選ぶときに、前記の如く、スキンフィルム層を形成するポリプロピレン系重合体中のプロピレン以外のα−オレフィンの量はベースフィルム層を形成するプロピレン系重合体中のプロピレン以外のα−オレフィンの量より少ない量となる必要がある。これが満たされていない場合、カット性が劣ったり、柔軟性が劣ったりする。本発明でいう、プロピレン以外のα−オレフィンはエチレン、ブテン、ペンテン、ヘキセン、ヘプテン、オクテンなどを用いることができる。
【0016】
上記の、ベースフィルム層及びスキンフィルム層を形成するポリプロピレン系重合体はいずれも、固有粘度(135℃テトラリン溶液で測定)が1.6〜3.0デシリットル/gであるのが好ましく、特に1.6〜2.5デシリットル/gであるのが好ましい。固有粘度が1.6デシリットル/g未満では透明な横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムからなる包装材料が得られ難く、逆に3.0デシリットル/gを越えると、押出し性が低下し、外観が悪く、光沢の悪い、商品価値が低下するような包装材料になる。
【0017】
本発明において、ベースフィルム層を形成するポリプロピレン系重合体には、ポリプロピレン系重合体の機械的又は熱的性質を低下させない程度に低分子量熱可塑性樹脂などの他の重合体、帯電防止剤、滑剤、ブロッキング防止剤などを含有させて自動包装性を向上させることができる。低分子量熱可塑性樹脂としては天然又は合成ワックス、炭化水素樹脂、ロジン、ダンマル、フェノール樹脂、塩素化脂肪族炭化水素ワックス、塩素化多核芳香族炭化水素などがある。
【0018】
本発明に適用する横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムの製造法としては、ベースフィルム層、スキンフィルム層を形成する重合体を別個の押出機から押出し、溶融状態で複合流を作り成形する共押出法、未延伸フィルムに他方のフィルム形成用重合体を溶融押出しして接着する押出しラミネート法などがある。更に、両層の接着性を向上させるために、両層の間に、無水マレイン酸変性ポリプロピレンなどの接着性樹脂層を積層してもよい。
【0019】
上記方法で得られた積層未延伸フィルムは、横方向に2〜15倍、好ましくは4〜10倍に延伸される。延伸倍率が2倍以下の場合は充分な分子配向が得られず、延伸方向に直線的に引裂けない欠点がある。また、横方向に15倍を越えて延伸することは困難を伴い、かつ得られたフィルムの低温時の柔軟性が悪化する。延伸方法は特に限定されないが、90〜165℃、特に100〜150℃でテンター延伸法により横延伸するのが好ましい。
【0020】
なお、縦方向には実質的に延伸しないが、引裂きの方向性が失われない程度に3倍以下に延伸することを妨げるものではない。
【0021】
延伸して得た積層ポリオレフィンフィルムは、熱寸法法安定性を与えるために、100〜165℃で1〜60秒間熱処理するのが望ましい。またフィルム表面には、必要に応じてコロナ放電処理などの表面処理を施してもよい。
【0022】
本発明に適用する横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムの厚みは、用途に応じて任意に設定するが、通常5〜100μmの範囲であり、汎用されるのは15〜60μmである。また、この内スキンフィルム層の厚みは0.3〜20μm、特に0.5〜15μmが好ましく、横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルム全体の厚みの0.2〜50%の範囲である。スキンフィルム層の厚みが0.3μmよりも薄いと、高温での横方向引裂性が得られず、また20μmよりも厚いか、全体の厚みの50%よりも厚いと横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムの腰が強くなり、柔軟性が低下したり、低温下で破れたりする。
【0023】
本発明においては、横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムは、他のフィルム、アルミニウム箔、紙などとラミネートした複合フィルムとして、横方向引裂性及び引裂きの方向性の優れた、しかも腰があり、用途に適合した特性、例えば、ガスバリヤー性、印刷性、装飾性などを持つ包装材料とすることができる。
【0024】
本発明の横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムを層構成に含む積層体を図面の例について説明すると、図1(a)はポリプロピレン系重合体からなるベースフィルム層Bの片面にスキンフィルム層Aを積層した横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムの側面図であり、(b)は、ポリプロピレン系重合体からなるベースフィルム層Bの両面にスキンフィルム層Aを積層した横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムを示す。図1の(a)及び(b)は本発明に適用する横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムの基本的積層構成である。また(c)は(a)に示された横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムの片面に接着剤を介して延伸フィルムもしくは紙を積層した例であり、Cは接着剤層、Dは延伸フィルム又は紙の層である。(d)は、(a)の横方向引裂性積層ポリオレフィンフィルムの片面にアルミニウム箔E及び延伸フィルムもしくは紙Dを接着剤層Cによって順次積層した例を示す。

【0034】
得られた積層ポリオレフィンフィルムは全厚みが40μmであり、表1に示すような物性を有し、横方向引裂性、引裂きの方向性、高温時の引裂性が優れ、低温時の柔軟性も良好であった。
【0035】
(比較例1)
ベースフィルム層樹脂は実施例1と同じ重合体の混合物を用い、スキンフィルム層としてMFR2.5のアイソタクチックポリプロピレン50重量%、MFR2.7のエチレン・プロピレン共重合体(エチレン含有率9重量%)50重量%の混合物100重量部に対し、シリカ0.3重量部を混合したものを用いた。
【0036】
上記各樹脂を実施例1と同様に製膜、延伸し、40μmの積層ポリオレフィンフィルムを得た。その物性は表1の通りであり、低温時の柔軟性に優れるものの高温時の引裂性が劣り、目的とするカット性を得ることができなかった。
【0037】
(実施例2)

【0039】
(比較例3)
実施例1のベースフィルム層のみを用いて、同様の製膜、延伸法で40μmのフィルムを得た。低温時の柔軟性に優れるものの、常温時、高温時とも引裂性が劣っていた。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a laminate comprising a lateral tearable laminated polyolefin film in a layer structure , in particular, excellent in lateral tearability and tear directionality, without deterioration of tearability even at relatively high temperatures, and at low temperatures. Also relates to a transverse tearable laminated polyolefin film having flexibility, which is suitable for packaging foods and pharmaceuticals, etc., and can economically provide a packaging material that can be easily opened. In a layer structure .
[0002]
[Prior art]
A product packaged with a film needs to be opened at the time of use, and is generally often torn by hand, and the demand for easy tearability is increasing. Also, biaxially stretched polypropylene laminated film may be used, but the bag formed by this film is easily cut through from the opening for opening, but it is difficult to tear with directionality, and when packaging liquid or powder If the cut extends to the entire bag and the contents are leaked or confectionery such as cookies is wrapped, the cut will be cut diagonally, the take-out opening will be smaller, and it will be difficult to take out the contents without breaking them. There are difficulties such as becoming.
[0003]
Furthermore, in order to facilitate the opening, there are many cases in which an opening for opening is provided on the bag or the exterior, but it is often difficult to tear with directionality. In order to improve tearability, a method of laminating a crystalline low molecular weight polyolefin film layer on a polypropylene film layer (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-18260, etc.) is known, but the laminated film obtained by this method is optional. Since there is a hand cutting property in the direction, it cannot be torn with directionality like the film. Further, there is a method of using a uniaxially stretched homopolypropylene film as a polypropylene film having a tearing directionality, but it is poor in flexibility and cannot be used particularly at low temperatures.
[0004]
Further, a method using a uniaxially stretched linear low density polyethylene film (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 59-78844) is known, but it is weak and has poor tearability when used at high temperatures. Further, since the resin is flexible, there is a problem that sufficient tearability cannot be obtained when the tear direction is changed.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention solves the problems of the conventional easily tearable film as described above, has good tearability and tear directionality, and deteriorates tearability even at relatively high temperatures. It is an object of the present invention to provide a laminate comprising a transversely tearable laminated polyolefin film in a layer structure that has sufficient flexibility even at low temperatures and does not discharge harmful substances during combustion.

[0010]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an embodiment of a laminate including the transverse tearable laminated polyolefin film of the present invention in a layer configuration will be described.
[0011]
The transversely tearable laminated polyolefin film applied to the present invention is substantially a monoaxially stretched polypropylene polymer skin film layer (A layer) composed of propylene and an α-olefin other than propylene, and the A layer. A transversely tearable laminated polyolefin film comprising a base film layer (layer B) substantially uniaxially stretched substantially laterally uniaxially made of a polypropylene polymer having a higher proportion of α-olefins other than propylene than the constituting polymer It is.
[0012]
In the present invention, a polypropylene-based polymer skin film layer made of propylene and an α-olefin other than propylene that is substantially uniaxially stretched is laminated on at least one surface of the base film layer.
[0013]
In the present invention, the polymer for forming the skin film layer is a polymer mainly composed of propylene having a melting point of 140 ° C. or higher, preferably 150 ° C. or higher, for example, ethylene having an ethylene content of 9% by weight or less. / Propylene copolymer, preferably a copolymer of propylene having a propylene content of 90% by weight or more and an α-olefin having 4 to 6 carbon atoms. Mixtures of these polymers are also used. Here, the proportion of propylene residues in the polypropylene-based polymer (including the case of a mixture of polymers) forming the skin film layer is usually 93 to 99% by weight, preferably 95 to 98% by weight, The remainder is occupied by α-olefin residues other than propylene residues.
[0014]
In the present invention, the polypropylene-based polymer constituting the base film layer (B layer) substantially horizontally uniaxially stretched is a polymer mainly composed of propylene having a melting point of 140 ° C. or higher, preferably 150 ° C. or higher. However, the melting point of the polypropylene-based polymer forming the skin film layer depends on the type of the propylene-α-olefin copolymer used, but is approximately the same or about 20 ° C. when measured by DSC. Usually low. Further, the proportion of α-olefin other than propylene is larger than the polymer constituting the polypropylene polymer skin film layer, for example, an ethylene / propylene copolymer having an ethylene content of 9% by weight or less, and propylene of 90% by weight or more. A copolymer of propylene and an α-olefin having 4 to 6 carbon atoms or a mixture of these weights is also used. Here, the proportion of propylene residues in the polypropylene-based polymer (including the polymer) forming the base film layer is usually 90 to 98% by weight, preferably 92 to 97% by weight, and the rest The α-olefin residue other than the propylene residue is occupied.
[0015]
When selecting the raw polymer for forming the skin film layer and the base film layer, as described above, the amount of α-olefin other than propylene in the polypropylene polymer forming the skin film layer is the amount of propylene forming the base film layer. The amount needs to be less than the amount of α-olefin other than propylene in the polymer. When this is not satisfy | filled, cut property is inferior or a softness | flexibility is inferior. As the α-olefin other than propylene in the present invention, ethylene, butene, pentene, hexene, heptene, octene and the like can be used.
[0016]
The polypropylene polymer forming the base film layer and the skin film layer described above preferably has an intrinsic viscosity (measured with a 135 ° C. tetralin solution) of 1.6 to 3.0 deciliter / g, particularly 1 It is preferably 6 to 2.5 deciliter / g. When the intrinsic viscosity is less than 1.6 deciliter / g, it is difficult to obtain a packaging material composed of a transparent transverse tearable laminated polyolefin film. Conversely, when the intrinsic viscosity exceeds 3.0 deciliter / g, the extrudability deteriorates and the appearance is poor. It becomes a packaging material with poor gloss and reduced commercial value.
[0017]
In the present invention, the polypropylene polymer forming the base film layer includes other polymers such as a low molecular weight thermoplastic resin, an antistatic agent, and a lubricant to the extent that the mechanical or thermal properties of the polypropylene polymer are not lowered. Moreover, an anti-blocking agent etc. can be contained and automatic packaging property can be improved. Low molecular weight thermoplastic resins include natural or synthetic waxes, hydrocarbon resins, rosins, dammars, phenol resins, chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon waxes, chlorinated polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, and the like.
[0018]
As a method for producing a transverse tearable laminated polyolefin film applied to the present invention , a polymer forming a base film layer and a skin film layer is extruded from a separate extruder, and a co-extrusion method is formed by forming a composite flow in a molten state. There is an extrusion laminating method in which the other film-forming polymer is melt-extruded and bonded to an unstretched film. Furthermore, in order to improve the adhesiveness of both layers, an adhesive resin layer such as maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene may be laminated between the two layers.
[0019]
The laminated unstretched film obtained by the above method is stretched 2 to 15 times, preferably 4 to 10 times in the transverse direction. When the draw ratio is 2 times or less, sufficient molecular orientation cannot be obtained, and there is a disadvantage that the film does not tear linearly in the drawing direction. Moreover, it is difficult to stretch the film in the transverse direction by more than 15 times, and the flexibility of the obtained film at low temperatures is deteriorated. Although the extending | stretching method is not specifically limited, It is preferable to carry out lateral stretch by the tenter stretching method at 90-165 degreeC, especially 100-150 degreeC.
[0020]
In addition, although it does not extend | stretch substantially in the vertical direction, it does not prevent extending | stretching 3 times or less to such an extent that the directionality of tearing is not lost.
[0021]
The laminated polyolefin film obtained by stretching is preferably heat-treated at 100 to 165 ° C. for 1 to 60 seconds in order to provide thermal dimensional stability. The film surface may be subjected to surface treatment such as corona discharge treatment as necessary.
[0022]
Although the thickness of the transverse tearable laminated polyolefin film applied to the present invention is arbitrarily set according to the use, it is usually in the range of 5 to 100 μm and commonly used is 15 to 60 μm. The thickness of the inner skin film layer is preferably 0.3 to 20 μm, particularly preferably 0.5 to 15 μm, and is in the range of 0.2 to 50% of the total thickness of the transverse tearable laminated polyolefin film. If the thickness of the skin film layer is less than 0.3 μm, transverse tearability at high temperature cannot be obtained, and if it is thicker than 20 μm or more than 50% of the total thickness, the transverse tearable laminated polyolefin film Will become less elastic and less flexible or tear at low temperatures.
[0023]
In the present invention, transverse tear laminated polyolefin films, other films, aluminum foil, a composite film laminated with a paper, transverse tear resistance and tear excellent directionality of, yet there is a waist, the application It can be a packaging material with suitable properties, such as gas barrier properties, printability, decorative properties, and the like.

[0035]
(Comparative Example 1)
The base film layer resin is a mixture of the same polymer as in Example 1, and the skin film layer is 50% by weight of MFR2.5 isotactic polypropylene, and the ethylene / propylene copolymer of MFR2.7 (ethylene content 9% by weight). ) A mixture of 0.3 parts by weight of silica with 100 parts by weight of a 50% by weight mixture was used.
[0036]
Each of the above resins was formed and stretched in the same manner as in Example 1 to obtain a 40 μm laminated polyolefin film. Its physical properties are as shown in Table 1. Although it was excellent in flexibility at low temperatures, it was inferior in tearing properties at high temperatures, and the desired cut properties could not be obtained.
[0037]
(Example 2)
A mixture of 80% by weight of isotactic polypropylene of MFR2.5 and 20% by weight of an ethylene / propylene copolymer of MFR2.7 (ethylene content 9% by weight) is used as the base film layer resin, and MFR2.
