Abstract
The film is produced by coating at least one side of a polyolefinic substrate with a solution of a polyvinyl alcohol-vinyl amine and an aldehyde-containing crosslinking agent for crosslinking said copolymer and then drying the coating. The polyvinyl alcohol-vinyl amine copolymer is less than fully cross linked throughout so as to enable a top coat to adhere to the polymeric film structure. The disclosed film includes a polypropylene substrate which has been treated by corona discharge, a melamine formaldehyde crosslinking agent and a clear ethylene acrylic acid emulsion top coat. The film is used in food packaging.
Description
DESCRIPTION
POLYMERIC FILM STRUCTURES
This invention relates to polymeric film structure more particularly to a polymeric olefinic film structure produced by a process comprising coating at least one side of a polyolefinic substrate with a solution of a polyvinyl alcohol-vinyl amine and an crosslinking agent for crosslinking said copolymer and then drying the coating, the quantity by weight of the cross linking agent present in the coating solution being regulated so that the polyvinyl alcohol-vinyl amine copolymer present in the coating solution is not fully cross linked thus enabling a top coat to adhere to the polymeric film structure.
US 6,559,227 discloses a process for producing a powdered water-soluble powdered vinylamine-vinyl alcohol copolymer comprising hydrolyzing a copolymer comprising an N-vinylamide unit and a vinyl acetate unit while dispersed in water under a basic condition and then washing the resulting powdered water-soluble polymer with at least one washing liquid selected from an alcohol, water at 20.degree. C. or lower, and salt water.
US 6,559,227 states that the water-soluble polymer produced by the abovedescribed process can be used as, for example, wet-end paper additives, dry-end paper additives, a dispersant, coatings applied to paper or a plastic film, and hair care products such as a shampoo. The polymer exhibits the respective desired functions in these uses. When used as a coating of a plastic film, etc., the polymer has a sufficiently low content of impurities and undergoes no reduction of transparency or color change.
US published application 20050043472 discloses an amine-functional copolymer improved in color and odor, and a method for efficiently producing the amine-functional copolymer in the form of a powder by efficiently hydrolyzing a vinyl alcohol/N-vinyl carboxamide, are provided. The amine-functional copolymer, of which a 10 wt % aqueous solution has a Gardner index of at most 3 as measured in accordance with ASTM Dl 544. Such a copolymer is obtainable by a method for producing an amine functional copolymer by hydrolyzing N-vinyl carboxamide copolymer in the presence of an acid or base catalyst, wherein the hydrolysis is carried out in an aqueous medium having a salt dissolved therein.
US published application 20050043472 states that the polymer of the invention may preferably be employed also for a gas barrier material.
US 5,776,618 discloses a polymeric film structure exhibiting improved barrier properties and which is formed in the absence of a primer. The film structure is produced by coating a surface of a polymeric substrate with a solution of a polyvinyl alcohol-vinyl amine copolymer, an aldehydecontaining crosslinking agent and a crosslinking promoting acid catalyst. The polymer substrate is made out of polyolefin materials such as polypropylene.
The coating of US5776618 contains an aldehyde-containing crosslinking agent in an amount sufficient to effect crosslinking throughout the polyvinyl alcohol-vinyl amine copolymer that is added to the coating solution. To promote and facilitate the crosslinking of the polyvinyl alcohol-vinyl amine copolymer, a catalytically-effective amount of a crosslinkingpromoting acid catalyst is added to the coating solution. The acid catalyst is preferably selected from the following acids: hydrochloric acid (HCL), sulfuric acid (H.sub.2 SO.sub.4), phosphoric acid (H.sub.3 PO.sub.4) and acetic acid (CH.sub.3 COOH). The pH of the coating solution is preferably maintained within the range of from about I to about 6, and more preferably at a pH of about 2 to about 4.
We have now found that by limiting the amount of crosslinking agent and avoiding the presence of an cross-linking promoting acid catalyst in a polyvinyl alcohol-vinyl amine copolymer coating solution, it is possible to coat a polymeric oleuinic film surface so that the coating produced not only has adequate gas barrier properties but also acts as receptive surface for further top coating to produce a final product with e.g good heat sealing properties and/or printability.
According to the invention there is provided a polymeric olefinic film structure produced by a process comprising coating at least one side of a polyolefinic substrate with a solution of a polyvinyl alcohol-vinyl amine and an aldehyde-containing crosslinking agent for crosslinking said copolymer and then drying the coating, the quantity by weight of the cross linking agent present in the coating solution being regulated so that the polyvinyl alcohol-vinyl amine copolymer present in the coating solution is less than fully cross linked throughout so as to enable a top coat to adhere to the polymeric film structure.
We prefer to use a polyvinyl alcohol-vinyl amine which contains about 13% by weight of polyvinylam me We prefer to coat a polypropylene film surface which has been treated in a conventional manner with a corona discharge.
Suitable cross linking agents include those based on formaldehyde such as melamine formaldehyde. We have found that under normal drying conditions such as with an oven temperature of 95deg C for 45 seconds using about l. % solids of a melamine formaldehyde of the coating solution as crosslinker enables a coating to be obtained to which a top coat adheres satisfactorily and therefore good heat sealing performance is obtained. We have found that as the amount of cross linker measured as dry solids is increased to above about 2 % there is a dramatic fall in heat sealing performance.
Typical top coating heat sealable compositions such as those based on the use of acrylic emulsions can be satisfactorily applied to the partially cross linked polyvinyl alcohol- vinyl amine coating.
Our invention also includes a heat sealable polymeric olefinic film with an acrylic based heat sealed coat adhering to a polyvinyl alcohol-vinyl amine copolymer coating, and food packages made therefrom.
Packages for fresh foodstuffs need to retain their heat seal strength under humid conditions and samples formed from the films of the present invention retained a satisfactory heat seal strength when held at 90% RH and 38 deg C for four weeks.
Figure one plots the results given in the table set out in Example 2 and demonstrates the change in adhesion of the top coating as the amount of cross linker present is increased.
These results are those obtained with the particular cross linker used, the amount of cross linker which must not be exceeded to obtain adequate adherence of a top coat will of course vary with the activity of any specific cross linker but as can be seen this can be easily determined in the same manner as has been done in Example 2 for a particular grade of melamine formaldehyde.
The following examples illustrate but do not limit the invention
Example I
20g of a polyvinyl alcohol vinylamine copolymer in powder form available as Diafix from Mitsibushj Chemical Corporation via their distributors Esprix Technologies of 7680 Matoaka Road Sarasota, FL 34243 USA was added to a stirred beaker with lOOg of water. The water temperature was maintained at 27-29 deg C. The mixture was stirred until a smooth slurry was obtained and then heated using a magnetic stirrer heater to 90 deg C. The solution thus formed was then cooled to room temperature and a cloudy suspension was decanted off for use as a coating. This suspension had a solids content of about 2.083%. measured by drying in an oven.
0.5 ml of melamine formaldehyde suspension available from BIP Chemicals under the designation PT807 containing 8.4% melamine formaldehyde was added to 50 ml of the polyvinyl alcohol vinylamine copolymer suspension giving a cross linker content of 2 per cent as dry solids and drawn down onto a corona discharge treated surface of a 28u polypropylene film. The coating was dried with a heated air dryer and a clear glossy coating was obtained.
An ethylene acrylic acid dispersion sold under the trade name Aquaseal 1290 by Paramemt BV of Costerstraat 18 1704 Ri Heerhugowaard Postbus 86 1700 AB Heerhugowaard Netherlands.was drawn down on top of the polyvinyl alcohol vinylamine copolymer coating obtained as above. The resultant coating was dried at 100 deg C for about 40 seconds and a clear adherent film was obtained.
A satisfactory heat seal strength of over just over 700 g/25mm was obtained when the coated film was sealed using a Sentinel type heat sealer with sealing jaws set at l3Odeg C at 15 psi for for 2 seconds dwell time.
Coating was carried out using a RK draw down bench with a red K-bar which applies 2 gms of wet coating per sq m.
Example 2.
A series of coated films were produced as described in Example one except that the quantity of cross linker used was varied to demonstrate the deterioration in heat seal properties with increasing quantities of cross linker. Table one shows the results obtained and it can be seen that samples 5 to 11 show the major change in heat sealing effectiveness when the content of cross linker is increased to 1.9 % as dry solids weight of the total dry solids content of the polyvinyl alcohol vinylamine copolymer coating dispersion. Another factor affected by the content of cross linker is the appearance of the dried coating. Thus although Sample one with no cross linker gave adequate heat seal properties, its appearance was unsatisfactory indicating that a cross linker must be present to give a marketable product.
