また、上記プロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(A)および(B)は、上記要件に加え、更に下記要件(a)を満たすことが好ましい。
以下、上記プロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(A)および上記好適なプロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(B)が備える上記要件(1)~(6)、(i)~(vi)および(a)について詳細に説明する。
本発明において用いられるプロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(A)または(B)の室温n-デカンに不溶な部分(Dinsol )のGPC(ゲルパーミエーションクロマトグラフィー)から求めた分子量分布(Mw/Mn)が3.5以下、好ましくは1.5~3.3、さらに好ましくは1.8~2.8である。このように該共重合体に含有される室温n-デカンに不溶な部分(Dinsol )について、GPCから求めた分子量分布(Mw/Mn)を上記範囲とするためには、触媒として後述するようなメタロセン触媒を用いるのが好ましい。そして、Mw/Mnが3.5よりも大きいと、低分子量成分が増える為、本発明の加熱殺菌包装用フィルムからのブリードアウトが発生し、加熱処理後の透明性が低下することもあり、また衛生性の観点からも好ましくない。
本発明において用いられるプロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(A)または(B)の室温n-デカンに不溶な部分(Dinsol )中のエチレンに由来する骨格の含有量が13モル%未満、好ましくは8モル%未満、より好ましくは3モル%未満、さらに好ましくは1.5モル%未満であり、最も好ましくは0.5モル%未満である。Dinsol 中のエチレンに由来する骨格の含有量が13モル%以上であると、フィルムの透明性が低下する。
本発明において用いられるプロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(A)または(B)の室温n-デカンに不溶な部分(Dinsol )中のプロピレンの2,1-挿入結合量と1,3-挿入結合量との和が0.2モル%以下、好ましくは0.1モル%以下である。Dinsol中のプロピレンの2,1-挿入結合量と1,3-挿入結合量との和が0.2モル%よりも多い場合、プロピレンとエチレンとの共重合性が低下し、その結果、室温n-デカンに可溶な部分(Dsol )中のプロピレン・エチレン共重合体ゴムの組成分布が広くなる為、耐衝撃性が低下し、さらに、加熱処理後に透明性が低下するなどの不具合が発生することがある。
本発明において用いられるプロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(A)または(B)の室温n-デカンに可溶な部分(Dsol )のGPCから求めた分子量分布(Mw/Mn)が3.5以下、好ましくは1.5~3.3である。このように該共重合体の室温n-デカンに可溶な部分(Dsol )について、GPCから求めた分子量分布(Mw/Mn)を上述のように狭くするためには、触媒として後述するようなメタロセン触媒を用いるのが好適である。そして、Mw/Mnが3.5よりも大きいと、Dsol に低分子量プロピレン・エチレン共重合体ゴムが増えるため、耐衝撃性の低下、加熱処理後の透明性悪化、保管時のブロッキング等の不具合が生ずる場合がある。
本発明において用いられるプロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(A)の室温n-デカンに可溶な部分(Dsol )の135℃デカリン中における極限粘度[η]が、1.5~4.0dl/g、好ましくは1.5~3.0dl/g、より好ましくは1.8~2.8dl/gである。本発明において用いられるプロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(B)の室温n-デカンに可溶な部分(Dsol )の135℃デカリン中における極限粘度[η]が、1.5~4.0dl/g、好ましくは2.0~3.5dl/g、より好ましくは2.0~3.0dl/gである。プロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(A)または(B)の室温n-デカンに可溶な部分(Dsol )の極限粘度[η]が前記範囲内であると、透明性と衝撃強度の点で好ましい。また、室温n-デカンに可溶な部分(Dsol )の135℃デカリン中における極限粘度[η]が4.0dl/gよりも高いプロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体は、超高分子量乃至高エチレン量プロピレン・エチレン共重合体ゴムを微量に含む場合があり、得られるフィルムの耐衝撃性の低下やフィッシュアイ等が発生するなどの外観不具合が生ずることがある。
本発明において用いられるプロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(A)の室温n-デカンに可溶な部分(Dsol )中のエチレンに由来する骨格の含有量が15~35モル%、好ましくは15~25モル%である。また、本発明において用いられるプロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(B)の室温n-デカンに可溶な部分(Dsol )中のエチレンに由来する骨格の含有量が15~45モル%、好ましくは20~40モル%、より好ましくは25~40モル%であり、特に好ましくは25モル%を超え40モル%以下である。Dsol 中のエチレンに由来する骨格の含有量が15モル%よりも低いと、プロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体をフィルムにしたときの透明性は向上するが耐衝撃性は低下し、また45モル%よりも高いと耐衝撃性は向上するがフィルムの透明性は低下する。
本発明の加熱殺菌包装用フィルムにおいては、上記プロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(B)のDsol 中のエチレンに由来する骨格の含有量(モル%)が、上記プロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(A)のDsol 中のエチレンに由来する骨格の含有量(モル%)よりも多いことが好ましい。特に、例えば、プロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(A)を含む層を両外層、プロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(B)を含む層を前記両外層に挟まれた中間層とする3層構成のフィルムの場合、外側のプロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(A)のDsol 中のエチレンに由来する骨格の含有量を相対的に少なく、内側のプロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(B)のDsol 中のエチレンに由来する骨格の含有量を相対的に多くすることで、両外層の透明性、耐熱性およびヒートシール性を向上させるとともに、中間層の耐衝撃性を向上させ、透明性と耐衝撃性、さらには耐熱性とヒートシール性のバランスにも優れた加熱殺菌包装用フィルムを得ることが可能になる。
本発明の加熱殺菌包装用フィルムには、耐衝撃性、透明性、柔軟性等の特性を付与する目的で、エラストマー(E)を添加することができる。
エチレン・α-オレフィンランダム共重合体ゴム(E-a)は、エチレンと炭素数3~20のα-オレフィンとのランダム共重合体ゴムである。エチレン・α-オレフィンランダム共重合体ゴム(E-a)においては、エチレンから誘導される構成単位とα-オレフィンから誘導される構成単位とのモル比(エチレンから誘導される構成単位/α-オレフィンから誘導される構成単位)は、通常は95/5~15/85、好ましくは80/20~25/75である。また、このエチレン・α-オレフィンランダム共重合体(E-a)についてのメルトフローレート(MFR;ASTM D1238、230℃、荷重2.16kg)は、通常は0.1g/10分以上、好ましくは0.5~30g/10分の範囲内にある。
本発明において上記のエラストマー(E)は、プロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(A)100重量部に対して、通常は0~20重量部、好ましくは1~10重量部の範囲内の量で使用する。
本発明の加熱殺菌包装用フィルムには、耐衝撃性、透明性、柔軟性等の機能を付与する目的で、エラストマー(E)と共に、あるいはエラストマー(E)の代わりにポリエチレン樹脂(C)を添加しても良い。
必要に応じて、本発明の加熱殺菌包装用フィルムには、プロピレン系樹脂(P)を添加しても良い。ここで使用されるプロピレン系樹脂(P)とは、本発明に用いられるプロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(A)または(B)とは異なるプロピレンの単独重合体、プロピレン・エチレン共重合体、プロピレン・α-オレフィン共重合体、プロピレン・エチレン・α-オレフィン共重合体、プロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体、プロピレン・α-オレフィンブロック共重合体を指す。ここでα-オレフィンとは、炭素数4から炭素数20のα-オレフィンを使用することができる。

ポリアミド系樹脂は、通常用いられるポリアミド系樹脂であれば特に限定されないが、ナイロン6やナイロン66等が好適に用いられる。
本発明の加熱殺菌包装用フィルムは、上述した要件を満たすプロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(A)を含む少なくとも一つ以上の外層と、該プロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(A)と同一でないプロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(B)を含む少なくとも一つ以上の中間層または外層とを有することを特徴としている。プロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(A)と同一でないプロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(B)は、上述した要件を満たすことが好ましい。
また、本発明の加熱殺菌包装用フィルムが、上述したプロピレン・エチレンブロック共重合体(B)を含む中間層または外層を有すると、より優れた耐衝撃性を得ることができる。

デカリン溶媒を用いて、135℃で測定した。サンプル約20mgをデカリン15mlに溶解し、135℃のオイルバス中で比粘度ηspを測定した。このデカリン溶液にデカリン溶媒を5ml追加して希釈後、同様にして比粘度ηspを測定した。この希釈操作をさらに2回繰り返し、濃度(C)を0に外挿した時のηsp/Cの値を極限粘度として求めた。

MD方向10cm×TD方向10cmのフィルムのチルロール面どうしを重ね合わせ、50℃の恒温槽に200g/cm2の荷重下で3日間保持する。その後、23℃、湿度50%の室内にて24時間以上状態調節した後、引張速度200mm/minで剥離させたときの剥離強度を測定し、剥離強度を試験片幅で割った値をブロッキング係数とし、耐ブロッキング性を評価した。ここで、ブロッキング係数が小さいほど、耐ブロッキング性に優れる。
フィルム製膜時にラミ層側(単層フィルムの場合は、反冷却ロール面側)にコロナ処理(45dyn)を施したフィルムを得た。該フィルムのラミ層側にO-PETフィルム(12μm)をドライラミネーターによりドライラミネート(接着剤:タケラックA315、塗布量3g/m2)した。その後、該フィルムを50℃で24時間放置し、ヒートシール面のヒートシール強度測定をJIS K 6781に準じて行い(引張速度は200mm/min、チャック間距離は80mm)、最大ヒートシール強度値を層間強度とした。
