【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は主に食品の深絞りガスパック包装において、総厚さを薄くしても弾性が高く、保存中および輸送中に変形し難いことを特徴とするガスパック包装の底材として有用な深絞り成形用底材フィルムおよび当該フィルムを用いて成形された容器に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
特許文献1、2及び3には、二軸延伸フィルムを深絞り成形用フィルムとして使用する技術が開示されている。
従来、弾性を有するガスパック用容器には、APET樹脂層を外層とする酸素バリアー層、シール層を共押出又はドライラミネートしたものを深絞り成形した容器が使用されていた。この場合、深絞り成形容器に弾性を付与し、一般に最も薄くなるコーナー部付近の変形を防止するため、APET樹脂層の厚さは通常250〜400μmであることが必要となっていた。

【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
昨今の環境問題で廃棄物の減容化が叫ばれる中、ガスパック用フィルムの薄肉化が検討されているが、ガスパック用容器としては適度な弾性を有していないとコーナー部が潰れ易くなることによる見栄えの問題の他に、変形し易いため商品陳列の際、積み重ねが困難になる問題や、変形し易くなると外力が加わったとき内圧がイージーピール部(シール部)にかかることによる破袋の問題、さらには内容物を取り出すときに底材が変形するため、トレー容器としての形状が保持できずに内容物やドリップ等の液体がこぼれ、床等を汚してしまうという場合があった。特にAPET樹脂層を基材とする無延伸フィルムのみを用いた場合、弾性が低いためコーナー部の厚さが特に薄く成形されてしまうことが、薄肉化検討のネックとなっていた。
【0005】
また、特許文献1、2及び3記載の二軸延伸フィルムを深絞り成形用フィルムに使用する技術は比較的、絞り深さが浅い、主に真空包装用に使用される技術で、適度な弾性が必要なガスパック用容器としては適さないものであった。特に、特許文献2記載の深絞り成形用フィルムは、APET樹脂層、二軸延伸フィルム層、酸素バリアー層及びヒートシール層の順で積層した構成も提案しているが、実際に深絞り成形を行うと中間層に二軸延伸フィルム層を配した場合にはAPET樹脂層との成形ひずみによる収縮応力の差で容器が経時的に外層を構成するAPET樹脂層側に反ってしまうという問題が発生していた。また、特許文献3記載の深絞り成形用フィルムでは、フィルム中のAPET樹脂層の厚さを200〜300μmと限定しており、容器自体の減容化には適さないフィルムとなっていた。
【0006】
以上のような状況に鑑み、本発明はこれらの問題点を解決した十分な弾性を有すると共に減容化を図った深絞り成形用ガスパック底材フィルムおよび当該フィルムを用いて成形した容器を提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記目的は以下の手段によって達成される。
本発明は、最内層がシール層であり、中間層に厚さ100μm以上200μm未満のAPET樹脂層を最外層と隣接して含み、最外層が100℃での引張弾性率50〜600MPaの二軸延伸熱固定フィルムをラミネート加工した多層フィルムであって、該多層フィルムの厚さが150〜250μmであることを特徴とする、包装用として使用される深絞り成形用多層フィルムに関するものである。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施の形態を詳細に説明する。
(シール層)
シール層に使用される樹脂は特に限定されず、ガスパックという性質上、蓋材としてヒートシールしたときに密封性を保てる強度を有する材質のものであればよい。例えば、ポリエチレン樹脂を使用することができる。ポリエチレン樹脂としては特に限定されるわけではなく、高密度ポリエチレン、中密度ポリエチレン、低密度ポリエチレン及び直鎖状低密度ポリエチレン等を用いることができる。シール層の厚さは10〜70μmが好ましく、より好ましくは20〜50μmであるのが良い。シール層の厚さが10μm以上のとき、十分なシール強度を有することができ、70μm以下のとき、深絞り成形容器の減容化を図ることができる。また、シール層が接着層を介して中間層と共に積層されていても良い。
【0009】
(APET樹脂層)
中間層には厚さ100μm以上200μm未満のAPET樹脂層を配することが必要である。また、APET樹脂層の厚さは120〜180μmであるのが好ましく、130〜170μmであるのが更に好ましい。APET樹脂層の厚さが100μm未満ではフィルム弾性が低くなり、深絞り成形の容器とした場合、実用上十分な弾性が得られず、逆に、200μm以上であると、本発明の目的であるガスパック容器の減容化を図れないためである。また、APET樹脂層の厚さを120〜180μmにすることで、本願発明の効果をより顕著に発現させることができる。APET樹脂は、ポリエチレンテレフタレートを主成分としていることが好ましく、これ以外にも様々なブレンド及びポリエチレンテレフタレートと共重合可能な成分を使用することができる。APET樹脂中のポリエチレンテレフタレート含量は特に限定されるわけではないが、深絞り容器が所望の機械的強度を有する程度に含まれるのが良い。APET樹脂層は、中間層に含まれ、最外層である二軸延伸熱固定フィルムに接していても良い。また、APET樹脂層は中間層中のAPET樹脂層以外の層と接着層を介して、積層されていても良い。
【0010】
(酸素バリアー層)
中間層は酸素バリアー層を含んでいることが好ましい。酸素バリアー層を含むことで深絞り成形を行なったガスパック品において、例えば、窒素封入を行なった場合、ガスパック品内部を低レベルの酸素状態に保持し、内容物の劣化を防止することができる。酸素バリアー層としてはポリ塩化ビニリデン(以下、PVdCと略記)層、PVdCコート及びポリビニルアルコール(PVA)コート等様々な方法が考えられるが、深絞り成形による酸素バリアー性の極端な低下の防止等を考慮すると、エチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体ケン化物樹脂(以下、EVOHと略記)を用いることが好ましい。さらに、酸素バリアー層としてEVOHに加えてポリアミド樹脂を用いることが好ましい。ポリアミド樹脂層を用いることによって、深絞り容器の耐衝撃性を向上させることができる。ポリアミド樹脂としては、ナイロン46、ナイロン6、ナイロン66、ナイロン610、ナイロン612及びこれらの混合物を使用することができるが、これらに限定されるわけではない。本発明に用いられるEVOH層としては、特に限定されないが、エチレン含有量が29〜47モル%が好ましく(より好ましくは32〜44モル%)、ケン化度90モル%以上が好ましい(より好ましくは95モル%以上)。
【0011】
酸素バリアー層全体の厚さは5〜20μmであることが好ましく、より好ましくは7〜15μmであるのが良い。酸素バリアー層の厚さが5μm以上のとき、十分な酸素バリアー性を有することができ、20μm以下のときコストが高くならずに深絞り容器の減容化を図ることもできる。また、外部からの衝撃等による酸素バリアー層のワレを防止するため、酸素バリアー層はシール層に接していることが好ましい。
【0012】
(二軸延伸熱固定フィルム)
二軸延伸熱固定フィルムは、100℃での引張弾性率が50〜600MPaである必要があり、好ましくは200〜500MPaであるのが良い。なお、ここで引張弾性率とは、縦方向(P方向)及び横方向(V方向)の両方向で測定した引張弾性率を表し、チャック間隔30cm、試料幅5mmおよび引張り速度5mm/minで測定(万有引張試験機、インテスコ社製)したものである。100℃での引張弾性率が50MPa以上では、多層フィルムが適度な弾性を有し、深絞り成形時にコーナー部が適度な厚さを有し、コーナー部が変形しにくくなる。逆に、100℃での引張弾性率が600MPa以下のとき、多層フィルムの弾性が低く、成形性が良好なため、一般的に使用されている容器形状の深絞り成形を良好に行なえる。ここで引張弾性率の測定温度を100℃に設定したのは、一般に深絞り成形する場合、シール性を考慮し、シール材には融点100〜130℃のポリエチレン樹脂が多く使用され、成形加熱方法としてシール層側からの接触加熱が多く使用されている現状の深絞り成形による包装品の場合、通常90〜100℃の成形温度で深絞り成形が行われているためである。また、二軸延伸フィルムはこれらの温度範囲で熱固定されていることが必要である。この理由は、この温度範囲を越えると成形時またはヒートシール時の熱により収縮が発生し、深絞り成形した容器に歪みを生じ、変形する可能性が非常に高くなるためである。従って、二軸延伸フィルムは120℃での熱収縮率が5%以下(JIS K 6782)となるよう延伸後、高温で熱固定したフィルムを使用することが好ましい。
【0013】
また、ここで用いられる二軸延伸熱固定フィルムを構成する樹脂は前述の条件を満たしているものであれば良く、特に限定されないが、汎用に用いられている樹脂のうち印刷適性を重視するなら二軸延伸熱固定PETフィルム、強度を重視するなら二軸延伸熱固定ナイロンフィルム及び防湿性を重視するなら二軸延伸熱固定ポリプロピレンフィルムと用途及び目的に合わせて使用することが望まれる。特に、品質の安定性及びコストの点から、最も汎用性のあるポリエチレンテレフタレート及びポリプロピレンの少なくとも一つを主成分とするフィルムが好適に使用できる。ここで、主成分とは多層シートが所望の弾性を発揮する程度にポリエチレンテレフタレート及びポリプロピレンを含んでいれば良い。ここでは、このポリ塩化ビニル樹脂組成物成形体を考慮しなければならない。
【0014】
二軸延伸熱固定フィルム層の厚さは10〜30μmが好ましく、より好ましくは12〜20μmであるのが良い。二軸延伸熱固定フィルム層の厚さが10μm以上のとき成形時、コーナー部の厚みを確保しやすくなり、30μm以下のとき、適度な成形性を有すると共に深絞り容器の減容化も図ることができる。

(ラミネート加工法)
二軸延伸熱固定フィルムのラミネート加工法は公知の方法を採用することができ、例えばドライラミネート法、ポリサンドラミネート法及び押出ラミネート法等の方法を挙げることができるが、得られる積層体の接着強度と厚さ精度の点で、ドライラミネート法が好ましい。
【0016】
(接着剤)
本発明に用いられる層同士を結合させる接着性樹脂としては特に限定されないが、不飽和カルボン酸又はその誘導体で変性されたポリオレフィン系樹脂が好適に用いられる。かかる不飽和カルボン酸としては、アクリル酸、メタクリル酸、マレイン酸、フマル酸、クロトン酸、イタコン酸及びシトラコン酸等が挙げられる。また、これら不飽和カルボン酸のエステルや無水物も用いることができ、更に誘導体としてアクリル酸メチル、メタクリル酸メチル、アクリル酸エチル、アクリル酸プロピル、アクリル酸ブチル、メタクリル酸ブチル、酢酸ビニル、グリシジルアクリレート、グリシジルメタクリレート、アクリルアミド、メタクリルアミド及びアクリル酸ナトリウム等を用いることができる。また、ポリオレフィン系樹脂としては、ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリブテン及びこれらの共重合体、エチレン−酢酸ビニル共重合体並びにエチレン−アクリル酸エステル共重合体等を使用することができる。例えば、三井化学(株)製、商品名アドマーが市販されており、これを使用するのが好ましい。接着層は必要により層を接着するのに適宜用いることができる。シール層と中間層、APET樹脂層と中間層中のAPET樹脂層以外の層とは接着層を介して積層されているのが好ましい。
【0017】
(印刷)
二軸延伸熱固定フィルムに印刷を施すことは可能であるが、その場合、ラミネート面(中間層と接している面)側に印刷を行うことが擦れ等による剥がれの防止および表面光沢による見栄えの点で好ましい。印刷はグラビア印刷、フレキソ印刷及びスクリーン印刷等公知の印刷方法と装置、インキを用いることが可能である。
【0018】
(共押出)
製造方法の簡素化(加工工程の簡素化)および製造コストを考慮するとAPET樹脂層、シール層、中間層を構成する少なくとも一つの層および接着層の少なくとも二つは共押出により製造することが好ましい。かかる共押出にあたっては、公知の方法や装置を採用することができる。共押出には、多層押出Tダイ付き押出機を用いるのが良く、押出温度は本願発明で用いられる樹脂を成形するのに必要な通常の温度で行われる。
【0019】
(深絞り成形)
深絞り成形機には例えば、ムルチバック社製R530を使用できる。この装置を使用した場合、成形熱板には20mmピッチ間隔で直径1mm未満の小さな脱気孔が格子状に配されている。
深絞り成形の手順は以下のものである。ここで、「深絞り」とはフラット状のフィルムを深絞り成形機を用いて連続的に熱成形することを表す。まず、多層フィルムを装填した後、成形ボックスが上昇し、成形ボックスが密閉状態となる。次に、多層フィルムの下から圧縮空気が導入され、多層フィルムが成形熱板に密着する。さらに、成形熱板の脱気孔より圧縮空気が排出され、加熱された多層フィルムは圧縮空気により成形ボックス内の成形入れ子に押し当てられ、入れ子の形状のパック品トレーを成形する。例えば、パック品トレーとしてはスライスハムや生ハム用等のガスパック品に使用することができる。
【0020】
(層全体)
本発明によるフィルムは二軸延伸熱固定フィルムを配しているため、非常に深い絞りや複雑なリブを持つ成形には適さないが、通常の二軸延伸フィルムにAPET樹脂層以外のシートまたはフィルムを貼り合わせた場合と異なり、二軸延伸熱固定を行なったAPET樹脂層の適度な弾性による良好な成形性により、成形が容易となる。また、無延伸のAPET樹脂層を基材とした場合には、弾性が低いため、深絞り成形時のコーナー部が薄くなる通常のシートと異なり、二軸延伸熱固定PETを使用した場合、適度な弾性による良好な成形性により、コーナー部の最薄部を厚くすることができるとともに深絞り品側面部及び底面部の厚さを薄くすることができる。
【0021】
本発明による層全体の厚さは、150〜250μmであることが必要であり、好ましくは180〜230μm、より好ましくは190〜220μmである。150μm以上のとき、シート弾性を良好に保つことができ、250μm以下のとき、深絞り容器の減容化を行なうことができるためである。ここで、層全体の厚さとは、深絞り成形前の多層フィルム全体の厚さを表している。
【0022】
また、本発明のフィルムを用いて深絞り成形品を作製する場合、コーナー部の最薄部の厚さを70〜200μmとすることが好ましく、より好ましくは100〜180μm、更に好ましくは120〜170μmであるのが良い。70μm以上のとき、コーナー部弾性が高いため変形しにくくなり、逆に、200μm以下のとき、深絞り容器の減容化を図ると共に、十分なコーナー部の最薄部の厚さを確保できるからである。
【0023】
例えば、APET樹脂層を基材とする220μmのフィルムと、APET樹脂層を基材とし、その外側にさらに二軸延伸熱固定PET16μmを貼り合わせた236μmのフィルムとでは、同一形状に成形した場合、コーナー部の最薄部の厚さを65μmから104μmと約1.6倍となるが、容器の減容化の面から好ましくない。ここで、コーナー部とは図1に示すように、深絞り成形を行なった場合の深絞り成形品の底面と側面の境界を構成する曲面部を表す。また、最薄部とはコーナー部のなかで最も薄い部分を表す。最薄部の厚さはデジマチックインジケーター(商品名)((株)ミツトヨ社製)を使用して、深絞り成形品の四隅のコーナー部を20点測定し、その中の最小値とした。
【0024】
つまり、従来から使用されているAPET樹脂層を基材とする無延伸品のみで構成された場合の底材と異なり、二軸延伸熱固定品を貼り合わせることでフィルムそのものの弾性が高くなるだけではなく、深絞り成形時に均一成形が可能となるため、コーナー部厚さが極端に薄くならずに底材の薄肉化が可能となる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is mainly used in deep-drawn gas pack packaging of foods, and is useful as a bottom material for gas pack packaging, characterized by high elasticity even when the total thickness is reduced and difficult to deform during storage and transportation. The present invention relates to a base material film for drawing and a container formed using the film.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3 disclose a technique that uses a biaxially stretched film as a deep drawing film.
Conventionally, as an elastic gas pack container, an oxygen barrier layer having an APET resin layer as an outer layer and a container obtained by coextrusion or dry lamination of a seal layer have been used. In this case, in order to impart elasticity to the deep-drawn molded container and prevent deformation near the corner portion, which is generally the thinnest, the thickness of the APET resin layer is usually required to be 250 to 400 μm.
[0003]

JP-A-9-123268 [Patent Document 3]
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-333994
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
While the volume of waste is screaming due to recent environmental problems, thinning of the gas pack film is being considered. However, if the gas pack container does not have adequate elasticity, the corners will easily collapse. In addition to the problem of appearance due to becoming, it is easy to deform, so that it is difficult to stack when displaying products, or when external force is applied when it is easy to deform, breakage due to internal pressure being applied to the easy peel part (seal part) Because the bottom material is deformed when taking out the contents of the bag, and the contents are taken out, the shape of the tray container cannot be maintained, and liquids such as the contents and drip may spill out and stain the floor etc. . In particular, when only an unstretched film having an APET resin layer as a base material is used, the fact that the corner portion is particularly thinly formed due to low elasticity has been a bottleneck in the study of thinning.
[0005]
In addition, the technique of using the biaxially stretched film described in Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3 for a deep drawing film is a technique having a relatively small drawing depth and mainly used for vacuum packaging, and has an appropriate elasticity. However, it was unsuitable as a gas pack container. In particular, the deep drawing film described in Patent Document 2 has also proposed a structure in which an APET resin layer, a biaxially stretched film layer, an oxygen barrier layer, and a heat seal layer are laminated in this order. When the biaxially stretched film layer is arranged in the intermediate layer, there arises a problem that the container warps over time to the side of the APET resin layer constituting the outer layer due to a difference in shrinkage stress due to molding strain with the APET resin layer. Was. Further, in the deep drawing film described in Patent Document 3, the thickness of the APET resin layer in the film is limited to 200 to 300 μm, and the film is not suitable for volume reduction of the container itself.
[0006]
In view of the above situation, the present invention provides a deep-draw molding gas pack bottom material film having sufficient elasticity to solve these problems and volume reduction, and a container formed using the film. The purpose is to do.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The object is achieved by the following means.
In the present invention, the innermost layer is a seal layer, the intermediate layer includes an APET resin layer having a thickness of 100 μm or more and less than 200 μm adjacent to the outermost layer, and the outermost layer is biaxial with a tensile elastic modulus of 50 to 600 MPa at 100 ° C. The present invention relates to a multilayer film for deep drawing used for packaging , characterized in that it is a multilayer film obtained by laminating a stretched heat-setting film, and the thickness of the multilayer film is 150 to 250 μm.
[0008]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail.
(Seal layer)
The resin used for the sealing layer is not particularly limited, and may be any material having a strength that can maintain hermeticity when heat-sealed as a lid material due to the nature of a gas pack. For example, a polyethylene resin can be used. The polyethylene resin is not particularly limited, and high density polyethylene, medium density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, linear low density polyethylene, and the like can be used. The thickness of the sealing layer is preferably 10 to 70 μm, more preferably 20 to 50 μm. When the thickness of the seal layer is 10 μm or more, sufficient seal strength can be obtained, and when it is 70 μm or less, the volume of the deep-drawn molded container can be reduced. Moreover, the sealing layer may be laminated | stacked with the intermediate | middle layer through the contact bonding layer.
[0009]
(APET resin layer)
It is necessary to arrange an APET resin layer having a thickness of 100 μm or more and less than 200 μm in the intermediate layer. Further, the thickness of the APET resin layer is preferably 120 to 180 μm, and more preferably 130 to 170 μm. When the thickness of the APET resin layer is less than 100 μm, the film elasticity is low, and when it is made into a deep-drawn container, practically sufficient elasticity cannot be obtained, and conversely, when it is 200 μm or more, the object of the present invention is This is because the volume of the gas pack container cannot be reduced. Moreover, the effect of this invention can be expressed more notably by making the thickness of an APET resin layer into 120-180 micrometers. The APET resin is preferably composed mainly of polyethylene terephthalate, and various blends and components copolymerizable with polyethylene terephthalate can be used. The polyethylene terephthalate content in the APET resin is not particularly limited, but it may be included so that the deep-drawn container has a desired mechanical strength. The APET resin layer may be included in the intermediate layer and may be in contact with the biaxially stretched thermosetting film that is the outermost layer. Further, the APET resin layer may be laminated via an adhesive layer and a layer other than the APET resin layer in the intermediate layer.
[0010]
(Oxygen barrier layer)
The intermediate layer preferably includes an oxygen barrier layer. In a gas pack product that has been deep-drawn by including an oxygen barrier layer, for example, when nitrogen sealing is performed, the inside of the gas pack product can be maintained in a low-level oxygen state to prevent deterioration of the contents. it can. As the oxygen barrier layer, various methods such as a polyvinylidene chloride (hereinafter abbreviated as PVdC) layer, a PVdC coat and a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) coat are conceivable. However, the oxygen barrier property can be prevented from being extremely reduced by deep drawing. In consideration, it is preferable to use a saponified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin (hereinafter abbreviated as EVOH). Furthermore, it is preferable to use a polyamide resin in addition to EVOH as the oxygen barrier layer. By using a polyamide resin layer, the impact resistance of the deep-drawn container can be improved. As the polyamide resin, nylon 46, nylon 6, nylon 66, nylon 610, nylon 612 and a mixture thereof can be used, but are not limited thereto. The EVOH layer used in the present invention is not particularly limited, but the ethylene content is preferably 29 to 47 mol% (more preferably 32 to 44 mol%), and the saponification degree is preferably 90 mol% or more (more preferably). 95 mol% or more).
[0011]
The total thickness of the oxygen barrier layer is preferably 5 to 20 μm, more preferably 7 to 15 μm. When the thickness of the oxygen barrier layer is 5 μm or more, sufficient oxygen barrier properties can be obtained, and when it is 20 μm or less, the volume of the deep-drawn container can be reduced without increasing the cost. In order to prevent cracking of the oxygen barrier layer due to external impact or the like, the oxygen barrier layer is preferably in contact with the seal layer.
[0012]
(Biaxially stretched thermosetting film)
The biaxially stretched heat-fixed film needs to have a tensile elastic modulus at 100 ° C. of 50 to 600 MPa, and preferably 200 to 500 MPa. Here, the tensile elastic modulus means the tensile elastic modulus measured in both the longitudinal direction (P direction) and the transverse direction (V direction), and is measured at a chuck interval of 30 cm, a sample width of 5 mm, and a tensile speed of 5 mm / min ( Universal testing machine, manufactured by Intesco). When the tensile elastic modulus at 100 ° C. is 50 MPa or more, the multilayer film has appropriate elasticity, the corner portion has an appropriate thickness at the time of deep drawing, and the corner portion is hardly deformed. On the other hand, when the tensile modulus at 100 ° C. is 600 MPa or less, the multilayer film has low elasticity and good moldability, so that generally used deep-drawing of a container shape can be performed well. Here, the measurement temperature of the tensile elastic modulus is set to 100 ° C. Generally, when deep drawing is performed, in consideration of sealing properties, a polyethylene resin having a melting point of 100 to 130 ° C. is often used as the sealing material. This is because, in the case of a package product by the current deep drawing molding in which contact heating from the seal layer side is often used, deep drawing is usually performed at a molding temperature of 90 to 100 ° C. Moreover, the biaxially stretched film needs to be heat-set within these temperature ranges. The reason for this is that if this temperature range is exceeded, shrinkage occurs due to heat during molding or heat sealing, and the deep-drawn container is distorted and the possibility of deformation becomes very high. Therefore, it is preferable to use a biaxially stretched film that has been heat-set at a high temperature after stretching so that the thermal shrinkage at 120 ° C. is 5% or less (JIS K 6782).
[0013]
In addition, the resin constituting the biaxially stretched heat-setting film used here is not particularly limited as long as it satisfies the above-mentioned conditions. However, if emphasis is placed on printability among resins used for general purposes. It is desired to use a biaxially stretched heat-fixed PET film according to the purpose and purpose, and a biaxially stretched heat-set nylon film if strength is important and a biaxially stretched heat-set polypropylene film if moisture resistance is important. In particular, from the viewpoints of quality stability and cost, a film having at least one of the most versatile polyethylene terephthalate and polypropylene as the main component can be preferably used. Here, the main component only needs to contain polyethylene terephthalate and polypropylene to such an extent that the multilayer sheet exhibits desired elasticity. Here, this molded article of polyvinyl chloride resin composition must be considered.
[0014]
The thickness of the biaxially stretched heat-set film layer is preferably 10 to 30 μm, more preferably 12 to 20 μm. When the thickness of the biaxially stretched heat-set film layer is 10 μm or more, it becomes easy to secure the thickness of the corner portion during molding, and when it is 30 μm or less, it has moderate moldability and also reduces the volume of the deep-drawn container. Can do.
[0015]
(Lamination method)
As a method for laminating the biaxially stretched heat-fixed film, a known method can be adopted, and examples thereof include a dry laminating method, a polysand laminating method, and an extrusion laminating method. From the viewpoint of strength and thickness accuracy, the dry lamination method is preferable.
[0016]
(adhesive)
Although it does not specifically limit as adhesive resin which couple | bonds the layers used for this invention, The polyolefin resin modified with unsaturated carboxylic acid or its derivative (s) is used suitably. Examples of the unsaturated carboxylic acid include acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid, crotonic acid, itaconic acid and citraconic acid. In addition, esters and anhydrides of these unsaturated carboxylic acids can be used, and as derivatives, methyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, ethyl acrylate, propyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, butyl methacrylate, vinyl acetate, glycidyl acrylate , Glycidyl methacrylate, acrylamide, methacrylamide, sodium acrylate, and the like can be used. As the polyolefin resin, polyethylene, polypropylene, polybutene and copolymers thereof, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-acrylic acid ester copolymer, and the like can be used. For example, the product name Admer manufactured by Mitsui Chemicals, Inc. is commercially available and is preferably used. The adhesive layer can be appropriately used for adhering the layer as necessary. The seal layer and the intermediate layer, and the APET resin layer and the layers other than the APET resin layer in the intermediate layer are preferably laminated via an adhesive layer.
[0017]
(printing)
It is possible to print on a biaxially stretched heat-set film, but in that case, printing on the laminate surface (surface in contact with the intermediate layer) can prevent peeling due to rubbing, etc. This is preferable. For printing, a known printing method and apparatus such as gravure printing, flexographic printing, and screen printing, and ink can be used.
[0018]
(Co-extrusion)
Considering simplification of the manufacturing method (simplification of processing steps) and manufacturing cost, it is preferable that at least two of the APET resin layer, the seal layer, the intermediate layer, and the adhesive layer are manufactured by coextrusion. . In such co-extrusion, a known method or apparatus can be employed. For coextrusion, an extruder with a multi-layer extrusion T-die may be used, and the extrusion temperature is a normal temperature necessary for molding the resin used in the present invention.
[0019]
(Deep drawing)
For example, R530 manufactured by Mulchback Co. can be used for the deep drawing machine. When this apparatus is used, small deaeration holes having a diameter of less than 1 mm are arranged in a lattice pattern on the molded hot plate at a pitch of 20 mm.
The procedure of deep drawing is as follows. Here, “deep drawing” represents continuous thermoforming of a flat film using a deep drawing machine. First, after loading the multilayer film, the molding box rises and the molding box is in a sealed state. Next, compressed air is introduced from under the multilayer film, and the multilayer film adheres to the molded hot plate. Further, the compressed air is discharged from the deaeration holes of the forming hot plate, and the heated multilayer film is pressed against the forming nest in the forming box by the compressed air, thereby forming a nest-shaped pack product tray. For example, the pack product tray can be used for gas pack products such as sliced ham and raw ham.
[0020]
(Entire layer)
Since the film according to the present invention is provided with a biaxially stretched heat-fixed film, it is not suitable for molding with a very deep drawing or complicated ribs, but a sheet or film other than the APET resin layer on a normal biaxially stretched film Unlike the case of bonding, the easy molding is facilitated by good moldability due to moderate elasticity of the APET resin layer subjected to biaxial stretching heat setting. In addition, when an unstretched APET resin layer is used as a base material, the elasticity is low, so unlike a normal sheet in which a corner portion during deep drawing is thin, when biaxially stretched heat-fixed PET is used, Due to the good moldability due to the elasticity, the thinnest corner portion can be made thick, and the side surfaces and bottom portions of the deep-drawn product can be made thin.
[0021]
The total thickness of the layer according to the invention needs to be 150-250 μm, preferably 180-230 μm, more preferably 190-220 μm. This is because when the thickness is 150 μm or more, the sheet elasticity can be kept good, and when the thickness is 250 μm or less, the volume of the deep-drawn container can be reduced. Here, the thickness of the entire layer represents the thickness of the entire multilayer film before deep drawing.
[0022]
Moreover, when producing a deep drawing molded article using the film of this invention, it is preferable that the thickness of the thinnest part of a corner part shall be 70-200 micrometers, More preferably, it is 100-180 micrometers, More preferably, it is 120-170 micrometers. It is good to be. When it is 70 μm or more, it is difficult to deform because the corner part elasticity is high, and conversely, when it is 200 μm or less, the volume of the deep-drawn container can be reduced and a sufficient thickness of the thinnest corner part can be secured. It is.
[0023]
For example, a 220 μm film having an APET resin layer as a base material and a 236 μm film having an APET resin layer as a base material and biaxially stretched heat-fixed PET 16 μm bonded to the outside thereof are molded into the same shape, Although the thickness of the thinnest portion of the corner portion is about 1.6 times from 65 μm to 104 μm, it is not preferable in terms of volume reduction of the container. Here, as shown in FIG. 1, the corner portion represents a curved surface portion that constitutes a boundary between the bottom surface and the side surface of the deep-drawn molded product when deep drawing is performed. The thinnest part represents the thinnest part in the corner part. The thickness of the thinnest part was measured at 20 corners at the four corners of a deep-drawn molded product using a Digimatic Indicator (trade name) (manufactured by Mitutoyo Co., Ltd.), and the minimum value was obtained.
[0024]
In other words, unlike the base material that is composed only of unstretched products based on the APET resin layer that has been used in the past, the elasticity of the film itself is only increased by bonding the biaxially stretched heat-fixed product. Instead, uniform molding is possible at the time of deep drawing, so that the thickness of the bottom material can be reduced without extremely reducing the corner thickness.
[0025]
【Example】
Using various resin components, a multilayer sheet was formed by coextrusion and lamination of a biaxially stretched heat-set film. A method for producing a multilayer sheet will be described below.
(Manufacturing method of multilayer sheet)
The following resin was co-extruded with a multilayer T-die coextrusion molding machine at an extrusion temperature of 265 ° C. and a take-off speed of 15 m / s to obtain a multilayer sheet. A biaxially stretched thermosetting film was laminated on the multilayer sheet coextruded in this manner using a dry laminating apparatus. Next, this multilayer sheet was deep-drawn (heated at 100 ° C. for 20 seconds) to a size of 15 cm in length, 11 cm in width, and 20 mm in depth with a deep drawing molding machine Mulchback R530.

(Evaluation method for corners of multilayer sheets)
The corner part formability and corner part elasticity of the multilayer sheet produced by the above method were investigated, and the corner part thickness and sample weight were measured. In addition, these evaluation methods are shown below.
・ Corner part formability: “○” indicates that no pinhole was found in the corner, and “x” indicates that a pinhole was found.
・ Corner part elasticity: The corner part was visually checked with a finger, and “○” was given for the case where it was not easily deformed, and “X” was given for what was easily deformed.
-Corner thickness: Measured with a dial gauge (Digimatic Indicator (trade name): manufactured by Mitutoyo Corporation).
[0031]
The evaluation results are shown in Table 2.
[0032]
[Table 2]
[0033]
As can be seen from the results in Table 2, in Examples 1 to 3, the corner formability and the corner elasticity are both “◯”, but in Comparative Examples 1 to 5, both the corner moldability and the corner elasticity are “O”. There was no one.
