JP7592992B2 - Oxygen-absorbing laminate for in-mold labels - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to an oxygen-absorbing laminate for in-mold labels that generates little odor, has barrier properties against oxygen gas from the outside, and absorbs oxygen within the content storage space to suppress oxygen-induced deterioration of the contents, and has an excellent balance between aroma retention, content resistance, and heat sealability, making it suitable for filling and packaging; and to an oxygen-absorbing packaging material for in-mold labels, an oxygen-absorbing in-mold label, and an oxygen-absorbing in-mold label container made using the oxygen-absorbing in-mold label.

Conventional packaging methods for preventing the deterioration of the quality of contents, such as food, medical products, chemical products, and cosmetics, due to oxygen have included using packaging materials with high oxygen barrier properties, replacing the gas in the content storage area with an inert gas such as nitrogen gas, and including an oxygen scavenger packaged with reduced iron powder or the like.
However, these have problems such as insufficient performance, increased packaging costs, increased waste, only functioning in moist environments, and the risk of accidental ingestion.
Furthermore, Patent Document 1 describes a packaging material that uses a resin that has oxygen absorbing properties and emits little odor. However, this resin is polycyclododecene, which is insoluble in polar solvents and has no active hydrogen groups, and is therefore unsuitable as an adhesive raw material for packaging materials made of laminates.
Furthermore, Patent Document 2 describes a laminating adhesive made of a resin using methyltetrahydrophthalic acid as a raw material having oxygen absorbing properties, but this adhesive has the drawback of being unstable due to its low oxygen absorbing properties.
Patent Document 3 describes an oxygen-absorbing resin that is a thermoplastic resin having a repeating unit composed of a saturated five-membered ring having a substituent that contains a carbon-carbon double bond and a -CH=CH- group linking the saturated five-membered rings. However, this resin has drawbacks such as being difficult to use due to its poor solubility in solvents and emitting a strong odor.

The present invention will be described in more detail below. The following description of the constituent elements is an example of an embodiment of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to these contents as long as it does not exceed the gist of the present invention.
In the present invention, the terms film and sheet have the same meaning.

<Oxygen-absorbing laminate for in-mold labels>
The oxygen-absorbing laminate for in-mold labeling of the present invention is a laminate used for in-mold labels for in-mold labeled containers, and includes a layer structure in which at least a base layer, an oxygen barrier layer, an oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer, and a sealant layer are laminated in this order, and further includes a printed layer.
When an oxygen-absorbing in-mold label container (hereinafter sometimes referred to as an in-mold label container) is formed using an oxygen-absorbing packaging material for an oxygen-absorbing in-mold label (hereinafter sometimes referred to as an oxygen-absorbing packaging material) made from the oxygen-absorbing laminate for in-mold labels (hereinafter sometimes referred to as an oxygen-absorbing laminate), the sealant layer is heat-sealed, and the oxygen barrier layer is located outside the in-mold label container relative to the oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer.
By positioning the oxygen barrier layer outside the oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer, the amount of oxygen passing through the in-mold label container from the outside is reduced, and the efficiency with which the oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer absorbs oxygen in the content storage space and reduces the oxygen concentration is increased.

The oxygen-absorbing laminate for an in-mold label may contain layers having various other functions, if necessary.
For example, it may have a base material layer or a printed layer, and may include a reinforcing layer to satisfy various conditions such as deformation resistance, drop impact resistance, pinhole resistance, heat resistance, sealability, quality maintenance, workability, hygiene, and the like.
In addition, the packaging material may have a functional layer for improving the oxygen gas barrier property, imparting barrier properties against water vapor and the like, imparting aroma retention to the contents to be filled and packaged, and preventing the contents from having an unpleasant taste or odor.
Furthermore, between or within each of the above layers, a general-purpose adhesive layer may be included to improve interlayer adhesion.

[Contents]
In the above, examples of the contents include shampoo, detergent, chilled drinks, dairy products, ice cream, soup, prepared foods, and the like.

<Layers Constituting the Oxygen-Absorbing Laminate for In-Mold Label>
<Oxygen barrier layer>
The oxygen barrier layer is a layer that, in an in-mold labeled container made from the oxygen-absorbing laminate for in-mold labeling, prevents oxygen from passing through the in-mold label from the outside of the in-mold labeled container to the internal content-accommodating portion.
In an in-mold labeled container, the oxygen barrier layer is positioned outside the oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer, thereby suppressing the transmission of oxygen from outside the oxygen-absorbing in-mold labeled container, thereby enhancing the effect of the oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer absorbing oxygen in the content storage section of the oxygen-absorbing in-mold labeled container and reducing the oxygen concentration.
The oxygen barrier layer can be made of various oxygen barrier materials. In addition, the oxygen barrier layer may be made of an oxygen barrier material that has gas barrier properties not only against oxygen but also against water vapor, light blocking properties against sunlight, aroma retention properties for the contents, etc. In addition, a barrier material that has gas barrier properties against water vapor, light blocking properties against sunlight, aroma retention properties for the contents, etc. may be used in combination.

Specifically, the oxygen barrier material may be one or more selected from the group consisting of metal foil, a resin film with an inorganic vapor deposition layer, and a resin coating film or film made of an oxygen barrier resin. Examples of the inorganic compound in the inorganic vapor deposition layer include metals, metal oxides, metal nitrides, and metal carbides.
Among the above, resin films with a metal vapor deposition layer, resin films with a metal oxide vapor deposition layer, and resin coating films or resin films made of barrier resins are particularly preferred, as they have excellent barrier properties against oxygen gas, water vapor, light blocking, aroma retention, etc., and are environmentally friendly in terms of disposal of the container.

A specific example of the metal foil is aluminum foil, and the thickness of the aluminum foil is preferably 5 μm to 30 μm.
Specific examples of metal elements constituting the above inorganic compounds include aluminum (Al), silicon (Si), magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), potassium (K), tin (Sn), sodium (Na), boron (B), titanium (Ti), lead (Pb), zirconium (Zr), yttrium (Y), zinc (Zn), vanadium (V), barium (Ba), and chromium (Cr).

Specific examples of the inorganic compound include metals, metal oxides, metal nitrides, metal carbides, and the like made of the above-mentioned metal elements, and also include composite inorganic compounds such as indium tin oxide (ITO) and SiO _x C _y films prepared by chemical vapor deposition or the like.
Specific examples of the inorganic compound of the inorganic vapor deposition layer include silicon nitride, silicon carbide, etc. Among these, silica and alumina are preferable.

The average composition of inorganic compounds is expressed as _MOx , _MOxCy (wherein M represents a metal element, and the values of x and y vary depending on the metal element), such as _SiOx , _AlOx , _{SiOxCy , etc.} In the case of metal oxides, the value of X can range from 0 to 2 for silicon, 0 to 1.5 for aluminum, 0 to 1 for magnesium, 0 to 1 for calcium, 0 to 0.5 for potassium, 0 to 2 for tin, 0 to 0.5 for sodium, 0 to 1.5 for boron, 0 to 2 for titanium, 0 to 1 for lead, 0 to 2 for zirconium, and 0 to 1.5 for yttrium.
In the above MO _x , when x=0, the material is metallic and not transparent, and the upper limit of the range of x is the value when the material is completely oxidized.
In the present invention, silicon oxide and aluminum oxide are preferably used, and silicon oxide having an x value in the range of 1.0 to 2.0 and aluminum oxide having an x value in the range of 0.5 to 1.5 can be used.
The oxygen barrier layer may be formed of one of these barrier materials, or may be a combination of two or more of them, or may be a mixture of two or more of them. It may be composed of one layer or multiple layers of the same or different compositions, and in the case of multiple layers, they do not have to be laminated adjacently.

The resin film that supports the inorganic vapor deposition layer can be a resin film that has excellent mechanical, physical, chemical, and other properties, and is particularly strong and tough, as well as heat resistant, since the inorganic vapor deposition layer is provided on the resin film.

Specifically, in the present invention, examples of the resin film supporting the inorganic vapor deposition layer include polyester-based resin films such as polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyamide-based resin films such as various nylons, polyethylene-based resins, polypropylene-based resins, cyclic polyolefin resins, polystyrene-based resins, acrylonitrile-styrene copolymers (AS resins), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers (ABS resins), polyolefin films such as polybutene resin films, polyvinyl chloride-based resins, polycarbonate-based resins, polyimide-based resins, polyamideimide-based resins, polyarylphthalate resins, silicone-based resins, polysulfone-based resins, polyphenylene sulfide-based resins, polyethersulfone-based resins, polyurethane-based resins, cellulose-based resins, poly(meth)acrylic resins, polyvinylidene chloride films, acetal-based resin films, fluorine-based resins, and others.
In the present invention, it is preferable to use a resin film that can be heat sealed or bonded with an adhesive and is made of biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate, polyacrylonitrile, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, non-oriented polypropylene (CPP), low-density polyethylene, linear low-density polyethylene, or the like.
The resin film used in the vapor-deposited resin film may be a resin film constituting a base layer.

The inorganic vapor deposition layer can be formed on the resin film using the inorganic compounds as raw materials, for example, physical vapor deposition methods (Physical Vapor Deposition, PVD methods) such as vacuum deposition, sputtering, ion plating, and cluster ion beam methods, or chemical vapor deposition methods (Chemical Vapor Deposition, CVD methods) such as plasma chemical vapor deposition, thermal chemical vapor deposition, and photochemical vapor deposition.

More specifically, in the above-mentioned PVD method, for example, a winding-type deposition machine is used, and the resin film coming off the unwinding roll in a vacuum chamber is placed in a deposition chamber, where the deposition source heated in a crucible is evaporated, and further, if necessary, an inorganic deposition layer is formed on the resin film on a cooled coating drum through a mask while oxygen or the like is blown out from an oxygen outlet, and then the resin film with the inorganic deposition layer formed thereon is wound up on a take-up roll, thereby producing a resin film with an inorganic deposition layer according to the present invention.

On the other hand, in the above-mentioned CVD method, a resin film is produced on which a vapor deposition layer of silicon oxide is formed by plasma by introducing a mixed gas of, for example, an organic silicon compound as a monomer gas, oxygen gas, an inert gas, etc., supplied from a vapor deposition raw material volatilization supply device, onto the surface of the resin film unwound from a winding roll arranged in the vapor deposition chamber and onto the peripheral surface of the electrode drum.

In the above, the thickness of the inorganic vapor deposition layer is preferably 30 Å to 3000 Å, more preferably 40 Å to 2500 Å, and even more preferably 50 Å to 2000 Å, in order to obtain sufficient oxygen barrier properties.
More specifically, in the above PVD method, the thickness of the inorganic vapor deposition layer made of aluminum oxide is preferably 30 Å to 1000 Å, and more preferably about 50 Å to 500 Å.
In the above CVD method, the thickness of the inorganic vapor deposition layer made of silicon oxide is preferably 30 Å to 3000 Å, and more preferably 100 Å to 300 Å.
In the above, in the case of an inorganic vapor deposition layer made of a metal oxide or an inorganic substance, if the thickness of the inorganic vapor deposition layer exceeds the above range, cracks or the like are likely to occur in the inorganic vapor deposition layer, and there is a risk that the barrier properties will be reduced due to warping, and there are problems such as high material costs, which are undesirable. Also, if the thickness is less than the above range, it is undesirable because it is likely to be difficult to achieve oxygen barrier properties.

An oxygen barrier resin coating film or an oxygen barrier resin film made of an oxygen barrier resin can also be used as an oxygen barrier material, and can simultaneously exhibit gas barrier properties against water vapor and the like, aroma retention, and the like.
Examples of oxygen barrier resins that can be used include films or coatings of resins with excellent gas barrier properties, such as polyvinylidene chloride resins (PVDC), polyester resins, polyamide resins (particularly aromatic polyamides such as nylon MXD6), ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers (EVOH) having an ethylene content of 25 mol % to 50 mol % obtained by fully saponifying an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (vinyl acetate is approximately 79 wt % to 92 wt %), polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylonitrile, and the like.
The thickness of the oxygen barrier resin coating film or the oxygen barrier resin film is not limited, but is preferably 0.5 μm to 300 μm, and more preferably 1 μm to 100 μm.
Furthermore, the resin film with an inorganic vapor deposition layer has a water vapor permeability measured in accordance with JIS K7129 under an environment of a temperature of 40° C. and a humidity of 100% RH of preferably 1.0 g/ ^m2 ·day or less, more preferably 0.5 g/ ^m2 ·day or less, and even more preferably 0.1 g/ ^m2 ·day or less. If the water vapor permeability falls within the above numerical range, the intrusion of water vapor from the outside of the package into the content-accommodating portion inside the package can be sufficiently suppressed.
The resin film with an inorganic vapor deposition layer has an acid permeability measured in accordance with JIS K7126 under an environment of a temperature of 23° C. and a humidity of 90% RH of preferably 1.0 cc/ ^m2 ·atm·day or less, more preferably 0.5 cc/ ^m2 ·atm·day or less, and even more preferably 0.1 cc/ ^m2 ·atm·day or less. If the oxygen permeability falls within the above numerical range, the intrusion of oxygen from the outside of the package into the content-accommodating portion inside the package can be sufficiently suppressed.

When forming the above-mentioned inorganic vapor deposition layer, the surface of the resin film to be vapor-deposited can be cleaned by pretreatment such as _SiOx plasma, and polar groups, free radicals, etc. can be generated on the surface, thereby increasing the tight adhesion between the inorganic vapor deposition layer and the resin film.
Furthermore, when two or more inorganic vapor deposition layers are continuously laminated using a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition apparatus consisting of at least two or more film formation chambers, each layer can be deposited so as to have high gas barrier properties, thereby achieving a higher gas barrier property than that of a single layer. Furthermore, by continuously depositing the layers without exposing them to the atmosphere, it is possible to prevent foreign matter, dust, etc., which may cause cracks, from being mixed between the inorganic vapor deposition layers, and the gas barrier property is improved.
Furthermore, if the compositions of the vapor-deposited layers are different, the inorganic vapor-deposited layers are different discontinuous layers, and therefore the permeation of oxygen gas, water vapor, and the like can be more efficiently suppressed.

When the oxygen barrier layer is formed of a resin film with an inorganic vapor deposition layer, the layer can be laminated by bonding the inorganic vapor deposition layer surface to the base layer via a general-purpose adhesive layer.
When laminating a resin film with an inorganic vapor deposition layer, if necessary, in order to strengthen the adhesive strength with other layers, the surface of the resin film with an inorganic vapor deposition layer may be subjected in advance to a physical surface treatment such as corona discharge treatment, ozone treatment, plasma treatment, glow discharge treatment, sandblasting treatment, etc., or a chemical surface treatment such as oxidation treatment using chemicals, to form a surface treatment layer.

<Oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer>
The oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer is a layer formed using an oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition.

Oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition
The oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition of the present invention is an oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition that contains at least an oxygen-absorbing compound and an oxidation-promoting catalyst.
The oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition may further contain a modifier, a diluting solvent, various additives, and the like, as necessary.

The oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition may be prepared by adding an oxygen-absorbing compound to an existing adhesive composition, or the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition may be prepared using an oxygen-absorbing compound as a resin component.
Here, the existing oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition may be a one-liquid oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition or a two-liquid oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition.
The oxygen absorbing adhesive composition can contain one or more oxygen absorbing compounds.
The oxygen absorbing adhesive composition and/or the above-mentioned existing adhesive composition may be curable or non-curable. If it is curable, it may be any of heat curable, photocurable, electron beam curable, etc.
The oxygen absorbing compound may or may not react with components contained in existing adhesive compositions, or may react with other oxygen absorbing compounds.
Depending on the presence or absence of the above reaction and the type of reaction, one or more oxygen-absorbing compounds can be selected and used from among those having no functional group, those having a (co)polymerizable functional group, and those having a functional group capable of reacting as a base agent or a curing agent.

Specifically, for example, an oxygen absorbing compound having no functional group and/or an oxygen absorbing compound having a functional group can be added to a two-liquid urethane adhesive composition containing an isocyanate compound and a hydroxyl group-containing compound. In this case, the functional group is preferably an isocyanate group and/or a hydroxyl group.
For example, the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition can be prepared by combining the main component and curing agent with an isocyanate compound and an oxygen-absorbing compound having a hydroxyl group, with a hydroxyl group-containing compound and an oxygen-absorbing compound having an isocyanate group, or with an oxygen-absorbing compound having a hydroxyl group and an oxygen-absorbing compound having an isocyanate group.
The oxygen absorbing adhesive composition is preferably a urethane-based oxygen absorbing adhesive composition.

There are no particular limitations on the solid content of the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition, but it is preferably 20% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less.

The content of the oxygen absorbing compound in the solids excluding the oxidation-promoting catalyst in the oxygen absorbing adhesive composition is preferably 40% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less. If it is less than the above range, there is a risk that the oxygen absorption will be insufficient. When it is 100% by mass, it means that the oxygen absorbing compound can be used as a resin component of the adhesive composition, and it has sufficient adhesiveness on its own, has a functional group that can be cured on its own, or is used in combination with an oxygen absorbing compound having a functional group that serves as a main agent and an oxygen absorbing compound having a functional group that serves as a curing agent.

The content of the oxidation-promoting catalyst in the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition is preferably 10 ppm or more and 6000 ppm or less relative to the oxygen-absorbing compound.
If the content is less than the above range, the oxygen absorption may be insufficient, and if the content is more than the above range, the oxygen absorption is likely to become unstable, and the oxygen absorption may be consumed before the package is produced, which may impair the effect of inhibiting deterioration of the package contents due to oxygen after the package is produced.

[Oxygen-absorbing compound]
The oxygen absorbing compound of the present invention has oxygen absorbing properties, generates little odor, and can be used alone or as a mixture with a resin or a resin composition.
The oxygen-absorbing compound of the present invention is an unsaturated five-membered ring-containing compound having one or more unsaturated five-membered rings, in which any bond between five carbon atoms constituting the unsaturated five-membered ring is a carbon-carbon double bond, and a monovalent and/or divalent or higher electron-donating organic group 1 is bonded to the unsaturated five-membered ring.
When there is one unsaturated five-membered ring, the five-membered ring or the organic group 1 has a functional group having active hydrogen, or a group in which the active hydrogen of the functional group having active hydrogen is substituted with a monovalent organic group 2, and when there are two or more unsaturated five-membered rings, the unsaturated five-membered rings are bonded to each other via a divalent or higher organic group 2 that substitutes the active hydrogen of the active hydrogen group on each of the organic groups 1.
When there are two or more such unsaturated five-membered rings in one molecule, the unsaturated five-membered rings are bonded to each other via a structure in which an active hydrogen of a functional group having an active hydrogen on each of the five-membered rings or organic group 1 is substituted with a divalent or higher organic group 2.
The unsaturated five-membered ring, organic group 1, and organic group 2 present in one molecule may each be one or more kinds, and the number may be one or more. The number of organic groups 1 bonded to one unsaturated five-membered ring may be one or more. Furthermore, the oxygen absorbing compound may be a compound having the above-mentioned unsaturated five-membered ring, organic group 1, organic group 2 present in one molecule.
The compound may be a mixture of molecules having two or more structures each having a different type or number of each of the above.

Organic group 1 donates electrons to the unsaturated five-membered ring, thereby increasing the electron density of the carbon-carbon double bond portion of the unsaturated five-membered ring, thereby increasing the reactivity with oxygen and improving the oxygen absorbency.
It is preferable that no electron-withdrawing group is bonded to the unsaturated five-membered ring, because the electron-withdrawing group bonded to the unsaturated five-membered ring reduces the electron density of the carbon-carbon double bond portion of the unsaturated five-membered ring, lowering the reactivity with oxygen and decreasing the oxygen absorption ability.
Specific molecular structures of the oxygen-absorbing compound include, for example, one unsaturated five-membered ring bonded to a monovalent or divalent organic group 1, one unsaturated five-membered ring bonded to a monovalent or divalent organic group 1 and a monovalent organic group 2 in that order, two unsaturated five-membered rings bonded via a divalent organic group 1 and a divalent organic group 2, and three unsaturated five-membered rings bonded via a divalent organic group 1 and a trivalent organic group 2.

In addition, the oxygen absorbing compound does not have to have a crosslinkable functional group, but can have one.
The crosslinkable functional group may be a functional group that was possessed by the compound from which the organic group 2 is derived, or may be a functional group that has been added by chemical modification.
Because the oxygen-absorbing compound has a crosslinkable functional group, when the oxygen-absorbing compound is mixed with a resin or a resin composition, the oxygen-absorbing compound has increased compatibility with the resin or the resin composition or becomes part of the crosslinked structure of the resin or the resin composition, making it less likely to bleed from the resin or the resin composition, or from the cured product of the resin composition, and the content of the oxygen-absorbing compound in the resin or the resin composition can be increased.
Specific examples of the crosslinkable functional group include an aliphatic hydroxyl group, an aromatic hydroxyl group, an isocyanate group, an amino group, an epoxy group, a (meth)acrylic group, etc. Among these, an isocyanate group and an aliphatic hydroxyl group are preferred.
In the case where the oxygen-absorbing compound has a crosslinkable functional group, the number of the crosslinkable functional group contained in one molecule is preferably 1 or 2 or more. In addition, the crosslinkable functional group contained in one molecule may be one type or two or more types.
The functional group equivalent of the crosslinkable functional group is not particularly limited, but is preferably 500 to 20,000, more preferably 1,000 to 15,000, and even more preferably 1,500 to 10,000.

The number average molecular weight of the oxygen absorbing compound is preferably 100 to 10,000, more preferably 200 to 5,000, and even more preferably 300 to 2,500. If the number average molecular weight is smaller than the above range, it is likely to precipitate when mixed with a resin or resin composition. If the number average molecular weight is larger than the above range, it is likely to require the inclusion of a large amount of dilution solvent when mixed with a resin or resin composition because the viscosity of the mixture increases, making it difficult to obtain a thick film or layer and reducing suitability for coating.

The oxygen absorbing action of the oxygen absorbing compound of the present invention can be accelerated by heating or adding a catalyst.

(Unsaturated five-membered ring)
The unsaturated five-membered ring of the oxygen-absorbing compound has a carbon-carbon double bond within the unsaturated five-membered ring. Here, the carbon-carbon double bond is any bond between the five carbon atoms constituting the unsaturated five-membered ring, and there may be one or two carbon-carbon double bonds within one unsaturated five-membered ring.
The carbon-carbon double bond reacts with oxygen molecules in the air and captures the oxygen molecules, thereby allowing the oxygen absorbing compound to exhibit its oxygen absorbing properties.
Examples of compounds from which the above-mentioned unsaturated five-membered ring or the unsaturated five-membered ring to which the electron-donating organic group 1 is bonded include cyclopentadiene, dicyclopentadiene, norbornene, and derivatives thereof. The oxygen-absorbing compound can have an unsaturated five-membered ring derived from one or more of these selected from the group consisting of these.
The concentration of the unsaturated five-membered ring in the oxygen absorbing compound is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1 mass % or more and 70 mass % or less, and more preferably 5 mass % or more and 60 mass % or less. If the concentration is lower than the above range, the oxygen absorbing property is likely to be insufficient, it is difficult to obtain an oxygen absorbing compound having a property higher than the above range, and the balance between various physical properties is likely to be poor.

(Electron-donating organic group 1)
Specific examples of the organic group 1 include an alkyl group, an alkylene group, a cyclic alkylene group, etc. Among these, a cyclic alkylene group is preferable, and one which constitutes an aliphatic bicyclic alkylene group together with the unsaturated five-membered ring is more preferable.
Specific examples of the cyclic alkylene group include a cyclopropylene group, a cyclobutylene group, a cyclopentylene group, a cyclohexylene group, a cycloheptylene group, a cyclooctylene group, etc. Among these, a cyclopentylene group is more preferable.

(Electron-withdrawing organic group)
Specific examples of the electron-withdrawing group include a phenyl group, a phenylene group, a carbonyl group, and a halogen.
Indenes and coumarones in which only these electron-withdrawing groups are bonded to an unsaturated five-membered ring have a low electron density in the carbon-carbon double bond portion of the unsaturated five-membered ring, which reduces the reactivity with oxygen and results in low oxygen absorption.

(Functional group having active hydrogen)
A functional group having an active hydrogen is chemically reactive.
Specific examples of the functional group having an active hydrogen include a primary amino group, a secondary amino group, an aliphatic hydroxyl group, an aromatic hydroxyl group, an imino group, a carboxyl group, a urethane group, and a urea group. Among these, a primary amino group, a secondary amino group, an aliphatic hydroxyl group, and an aromatic hydroxyl group are preferred, and an aliphatic hydroxyl group is more preferred.

(Organic Group 2)
Organic group 2 is a monovalent and/or divalent or higher group which substitutes an active hydrogen of a functional group having an active hydrogen on the five-membered ring or organic group 1 and is bonded to the five-membered ring or organic group 1.
When there are two or more such unsaturated five-membered rings in one molecule, the unsaturated five-membered rings are bonded to each other via a structure in which the active hydrogen of a functional group having an active hydrogen is substituted with a divalent or higher organic group 2.
As a specific example, a functional group having an active hydrogen on organic group 1 reacts with an isocyanate group of an isocyanate compound having a structural portion from which organic group 2 is derived, and the active hydrogen is substituted for organic group 2, resulting in bonding via a urethane group.
By bonding the organic group 2, the oxygen absorbing compound can have two or more of the unsaturated five-membered rings in one molecule, and furthermore, when mixed with a resin or a resin composition to prepare a mixture, the compatibility, dispersibility, and reactivity can be improved.Furthermore, the mixture or the cured product of the mixture can be adjusted to be soft.

The organic group 2 may be an aliphatic group, an aromatic group, or may have both an aliphatic group and an aromatic group.

When two or more types are used, two types may be used in the same molecule of the oxygen-absorbing compound, or molecules of the oxygen-absorbing compound having different types may be mixed.

The number average molecular weight of the isocyanate compound is preferably 100 to 10,000, more preferably 160 to 5,000. If the number average molecular weight is smaller than the above range, it is likely to precipitate when mixed with a resin or resin composition. If the number average molecular weight is larger than the above range, it is likely to require the inclusion of a large amount of dilution solvent when mixed with a resin or resin composition because the viscosity of the mixture increases, making it difficult to obtain a thick film or layer, and the coating suitability is likely to deteriorate.

If the number average molecular weight is smaller than the above range, when the compound is mixed with a resin or a resin composition, If the number average molecular weight is larger than the above range, when the polymer is mixed with a resin or a resin composition, the viscosity of the mixture becomes high, and it is likely that a large amount of dilution solvent must be added, and it is difficult to form a thick film or It is difficult to obtain a layer, and the coating suitability is easily deteriorated.

(Antioxidants)
The oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition may contain an antioxidant in order to suppress deterioration of oxygen absorption properties during storage or use of the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition, and even in processes before a package made using the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition contains contents, and to maintain high oxygen absorption properties after the contents are contained.

In addition, when it is assumed that heat or light is used as a trigger for expressing oxygen absorbing ability, it is preferable to use an antioxidant having low heat resistance and light resistance, such as ascorbic acid or tocopherol, and it is not preferable to use an antioxidant having high heat resistance and light resistance, such as a phenol-based antioxidant.
The amount of the antioxidant added is preferably 10 ppm or more and 10,000 ppm or less relative to the oxygen absorbing compound. If the amount is less than the above range, the antioxidant effect is likely to be insufficient, and if the amount is more than the above range, the oxygen absorbing property may be reduced.

<<Method for preparing oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition>>
The oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition can be produced by mixing all of the components, such as the oxygen-absorbing compound, the oxidation-promoting catalyst, and, if necessary, the modifier, the diluting solvent, the various additives, etc. Alternatively, the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition can be produced by mixing the oxygen-absorbing compound, the oxidation-promoting catalyst, and, if necessary, the modifier, the diluting solvent, the various additives, etc., with an existing adhesive composition.
The method for carrying out the above mixing and the order in which the components are mixed are not particularly limited, and the method and mixing order used in preparing a general adhesive composition can be applied.
Specific mixing methods include a method of dissolving in a solvent and mixing, and a method of melt-kneading. In this case, it is preferable to adjust the heating temperature in order to increase the solubility or dispersibility.

<<Method of using the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition>>
There are no particular limitations on the method of using the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition, and any method for using it as an adhesive can be used.
For example, there may be mentioned a non-solvent type lamination method in which the coating is heated to obtain an appropriate viscosity, and a dry lamination method in which a dilution solvent or other compounded adhesive is added to adjust the coating viscosity to an appropriate level.
When forming an adhesive layer using the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition, the coating amount is preferably 2 to 5 g/m ² , and more preferably 3 to 5 g/m ^2. If the coating amount is less than the above range, there is a risk that sufficient oxygen absorption cannot be obtained, and if the coating amount is more than the above range, the oxygen absorption does not change significantly, which leads to cost disadvantages, and is therefore not preferred.

A laminate obtained by forming and bonding an adhesive layer using the oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition is preferably aged at 20° C. or higher and 50° C. or lower for 2 days or higher and 5 days or lower.
In addition, in order not to decrease the oxygen absorption property of the laminate, it is preferable to carry out the aging at a temperature as low as possible or in an inert gas atmosphere.
When storing the produced laminate, it is preferable to store it at 10° C. or below or in an inert gas atmosphere in order not to decrease the oxygen absorbing property of the laminate.

As long as the base layer, the print layer, the oxygen barrier layer, the oxygen absorbing adhesive layer, and the sealant layer are laminated in this order, the order in which each layer is formed and laminated may be arbitrary.
For example, an example will be described in which an oxygen-absorbing laminate for an in-mold label having a layer structure of a substrate layer/a printing layer/an oxygen barrier layer/an oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer/a sealant layer is produced.
For example, a printing layer is first formed on the corona-treated surface of the substrate layer, and then an oxygen barrier layer is formed on the printing layer.
Next, an oxygen-absorbing adhesive composition is applied to the laminated oxygen barrier layer, and dried as necessary to form an oxygen-absorbing adhesive layer.

The shape of the lid part is, for example, a film-like shape, and has a shape that matches the outer periphery of the flange part of the bottom part, a shape that is slightly larger than the outer periphery, or a shape that partially protrudes from the outer periphery. The layer structure of the lid part is not particularly limited, but preferably has a heat seal layer for heat sealing to the bottom part, and can be formed from a packaging material including a layer structure such as a PET/polyamide/easy-peel PP-based sealant layer.
The oxygen-absorbing in-mold label container can contain contents in the recess before the lid and bottom parts are heat-sealed together, and after the contents are contained, the flange of the bottom part and the film-like lid part are bonded together by heat sealing or adhesive, thereby protecting the contents by hermetic sealing. The contained contents can be removed by peeling off the lid part.

<Method of producing oxygen-absorbing in-mold label container>
The oxygen-absorbing in-mold labeled container can be produced, for example, by the following production method. The example given below is merely one example of the production method of the oxygen-absorbing in-mold labeled container of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto.
The bottom part of the oxygen-absorbing in-mold labeled container can be produced by a known method such as blow molding or injection molding.
Blow molding involves setting an in-mold label on the inner wall of a mold divided in two, pouring in a cylindrical resin, joining the molds together, and inflating the cylindrical resin with heat and air pressure, thereby molding the resin to the shape of the inner wall of the mold while laminating the in-mold label on the outside. This is particularly suitable for molding into bottle shapes for shampoos, detergents, etc.
In the injection molding, an in-mold label is set on the inner wall of a concave mold, then a resin is injected and a convex mold is pressed against it to laminate the in-mold label, thereby forming an oxygen-absorbing in-mold-labeled container. At this time, a molded body that constitutes the inner wall of the oxygen-absorbing in-mold-labeled container can also be pressed against the convex mold. This is particularly suitable for containers for chilled beverages, dairy products, ice cream, etc.
In the above, when the packaging material for the lid parts is placed on the bottom part, one sheet of the packaging material for the lid parts may be placed on one bottom part and heat-sealed, or one sheet of the packaging material for the lid parts may be placed on two or more bottom parts and heat-sealed. Moreover, the two or more bottom parts may be cut individually or connected.

The lid formed by heat-sealing the packaging material for the lid part is then cut into a shape that matches the outer periphery of the flange portion of the base part, a shape that is annularly larger than the outer periphery, or a shape that partially protrudes.
As another manufacturing method, the packaging material for the lid part may be cut in advance into a shape that matches the outer periphery of the flange portion of the bottom part, a shape that is one size larger in an annular shape than the outer periphery, or a shape that partially protrudes, and then the material may be placed on the bottom part and heat sealed.
Furthermore, when producing an oxygen-absorbing in-mold labeled container filling that contains and packages contents, it is preferable to place the contents in the recess of the bottom part before the above-mentioned heat sealing, and then perform the above-mentioned sheet sealing.
In the above, the heat sealing can be performed by a known method such as bar sealing, rotary roll sealing, belt sealing, impulse sealing, high frequency sealing, ultrasonic sealing, flame sealing, etc.

The present invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to examples and comparative examples.

The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the following examples and comparative examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.
