Description

DESCRIPTION
Title of Invention
HOT MELT PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE FOR LABELING
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive, and more specifically to a hot melt pressure -sensitive adhesive suitable for labeling for containers (in particular PET bottles) used for soft drinks,
seasonings, detergents, shampoos, cooking oils, cosmetics, pharmaceutical products and the like.
Background Art
[0002] Widely available containers for drugs or drinks generally include aluminum cans, glass bottles and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles. To the surface of such containers, a label was adhered with a pressure-sensitive adhesive at a strength that does not allow the label to be removed by hand. As Labels for beverage containers, wrap around labels (roll labels) made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, biaxially oriented polypropylene film (OPP) or polylactic acid (PLA) film are often used.
[0003] In the recycle of containers with labels, it is necessary to send used containers to a factory and immerse the containers in a heated alkaline aqueous solution to separate the label from the containers. Therefore, pressure- sensitive adhesives applied to labels for containers are required to have a feature of swelling, softening, dispersing or dissolving in an alkaline aqueous solution, so that the label can be removed from the container in a short time (hereinafter, alkali-peeling property).
[0004] Patent Literatures 1 to 4 disclose hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesives which allow labels to be easily removed from PET bottles. The pressure- sensitive adhesives in the literatures are each an alkali-dispersible hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive containing a styrene block copolymer and a tackifier resin. [0005] Since the alkali-dispersible hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesives of Patent Literatures 1 to 4 contain a large amount of a petroleum-derived tackifier resin, the adhesives are not preferable in the light of environmental balance. Moreover, the alkali-dispersible hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesives of the literatures did not sufficiently meet the rigorous requirement of recent users for the adhesion to PET bottles.
[0006] In recent years, in the filed of a hot melt material, because of an increase in awareness of environmental problems, the replacement of
conventional petroleum-derived raw materials by natural materials, plant materials and biodegradable materials has developed. In terms of
environmental problems, such as global warming due to an increase of carbon dioxide emission, attempts have been made to produce hot melt compositions using non-petroleum-based resins, such as polylactic acid-based resins, containing no petroleum as a raw material.
[0007] Patent Literatures 5 and 6 describe hot melt compositions comprising a polylactic acid-based resin. Patent Literature 5 discloses a hot melt
composition comprising polylactic acid-based resin and poly(butylene succinate) or poly(ethylene succinate). Patent Literature 6 discloses a biodegradable adhesive comprising polylactic acid and a natural powder substance. However, the hot melt compositions do not have sufficient adhesion to a substrate made of polyolefin and the like. Also, the hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesives comprising a polylactic acid-based resin described in the literatures do not provide good coating performance due to the poor compatibility between the polylactic acid-based resin and other components including tackifier resins. Therefore, the adhesives are likely to have lower adhesion and thermal stability than those of a hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive in which no polylactic acid- based resin is used.

[0009] An object of the present invention is to solve the above problem and provide a hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive which is highly environmentally friendly and has sufficient adhesion, thermal stability and coating performance and even maintains good alkali-peeling property. More specifically the present invention provides a hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive for labeling suitable for being applied to a label adhered to a PET bottle.
Solution to Problem

Advantageous Effects of Invention
[0018] The hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive of the present invention is environmentally friendly and the components to be blended are significantly highly compatible with each other. In particular, since the hot melt pressure- sensitive adhesive of the present invention contains a polar functional group- modified conjugated diene-based polymer (A), the aliphatic polyester-based resin (B) such as a polylactic acid-based resin has good compatibility with other components. As a result, a hot melt pressure -sensitive adhesive can be obtained, which has high coating performance including easy application to a polyolefin substrate and excellent adhesion. Further, the label adhered to a container such as a PET bottle by using the hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive of the present invention has not only good adhesion but also good hand-peeling property of being able to be removed by hand without adhesive residue when the label is removed from the container, and even has good alkali-peeling property in an alkaline solution.
Description of Embodiments
[0019] The hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive of the present invention comprises at least (A) a polar functional group-modified conjugated diene-based polymer, (B) an aliphatic polyester-based resin and (C) a tackifier resin.
Hereinafter, these may be described below as a "A component," a "B component" and a "C component", respectively. A "modified polymer" means to include both
(i) one in which a functional group is provided after a polymer is obtained and
(ii) one in which a functional group is introduced in the process of
polymerization.
[0020] Furthermore, the hot melt pressure -sensitive adhesive of the present invention may comprise, in addition to A component, B component and C component, (D) a plasticizer, (E) a wax, (F) a thermoplastic block copolymer, additives such as an antioxidants and the like as required. Regarding each component will be described below.
[0021] <(A) Polar Functional Group -Modified Conjugated Diene-based
Polymer>
In the hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive of the present invention, the use of the polar functional group -modified conjugated diene-based polymer (A) (A component) increases the compatibility between the aliphatic polyester-based resin (B) and other components, such as the tackifier resin (C), and improves the pressure-sensitive adhesiveness, adhesion, and thermal stability, furthermore, improves alkali-peeling property.
[0022] Examples of the "polar functional group" of the "polar functional group- modified conjugated diene-based polymer" include acid anhydride groups, such as a maleic anhydride group, a carboxyl group, a maleic acid group, an amino group, an imino group, an alkoxysilyl group, a silanol group, a silyl ether group, a hydroxyl group and an epoxy group. Among these, a maleic acid group and an amino group are preferred. [0023] A "conjugated diene-based polymer" of the "polar functional group- modified conjugated diene-based polymer" refers to a polymer having a
structural unit based on a conjugated diene compound (conjugated diene unit).
[0024] Here, the "conjugated diene compound" means a diolefin compound having at least a pair of conjugated double bonds. Specific examples of the "conjugated diene compound" include 1,3-butadiene, 2-methyl- 1,3-butadiene (or isoprene), 2, 3-dimethyl- 1,3-butadiene, 1,3-pentadiene and 1,3-hexadiene. 1,3- Butadiene and 2-methyl-l,3-butadiene are particularly preferred. These conjugated diene compounds may be used alone or in combination.
[0025] In the present invention, the conjugated diene-based polymer may have, in addition to the conjugated diene unit, structural units based on other monomers. Examples of other monomers include vinyl-based aromatic hydrocarbons, vinyl nitrile and unsaturated carboxylate esters.
[0026] In the present invention, as the "conjugated diene-based polymer", for example, a copolymer in which a vinyl-based aromatic hydrocarbon and a conjugated diene compound are block-copolymerized, that is, one having a vinyl- based aromatic hydrocarbon block and a conjugated diene compound block, is preferred.
[0027] The "vinyl-based aromatic hydrocarbon" means an aromatic
hydrocarbon compound having a vinyl group. Specific examples thereof include styrene, o-methylstyrene, p-methylstyrene, p-tert-butylstyrene, 1,3- dimethylstyrene, crmethylstyrene, vinylnaphthalene and vinylanthracene.
Particularly, styrene is preferred. These vinyl-based aromatic hydrocarbons may be used alone or in combination.
[0028] Furthermore, in the present invention, the conjugated diene-based polymer constituting the polar functional group -modified conjugated diene- based polymer contained as the A component may be a non-hydrogenated conjugated diene-based polymer or a hydrogenated conjugated diene-based polymer, and a hydrogenated conjugated diene-based polymer is more preferred.
[0029] Examples of the "hydrogenated conjugated diene-based polymer" include a block copolymer in which all or a part of the blocks based on the conjugated compound are hydrogenated, such as a hydrogenated styrene- isoprene-styrene block copolymer (that is, also referred to as the styrene- ethylene/propylene-styrene block copolymer "SEPS") and a hydrogenated styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer (that is, also referred to as the styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene block copolymer "SEBS").
[0030] Examples of the "non-hydrogenated conjugated diene-based polymer" include a block copolymer in which the blocks based on the conjugated
compound are not hydrogenated, such as a styrene-isoprene-styrene block copolymer (also referred to as "SIS") and a styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymer (also referred to as "SBS"). Among these, SEBS is preferred, and SEBS having a styrene content of 10 to 40% by weight is more preferred for the conjugated diene-based polymer constituting the polar functional group- modified conjugated diene-based polymer contained as the A component.
[0031] As a method for producing the polar functional group -modified conjugated diene-based polymer, the polar functional group-modified conjugated diene-based polymer may be produced by synthesizing a conjugated diene-based polymer first, and introducing a polar functional group later, or by performing a copolymerization reaction using a monomer containing a polar functional group.
[0032] As the "polar functional group-modified conjugated diene-based polymer", amino group-modified SEBS and maleic acid group-modified SEBS are preferable. In a polar functional group-modified conjugated diene-based copolymer, the position at which a polar group, such as an amino group or a maleic acid group, is introduced is not particularly limited. For example, the polar group is preferably introduced into at least one end of the conjugated diene-based copolymer. [0033] In the present invention, the A component preferably comprises a polar functional group -modified conjugated diene-based polymer having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 7.5x 104 to 1.0 x 105.
[0034] The weight average molecular weight is measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) using a calibration curve using monodisperse molecular weight polystyrene as a standard substance to convert molecular weight.

[0036] <(B) Aliphatic Polyester-Based Resin>
In the hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive of the present invention, the use of the aliphatic polyester-based resin (B) (B component) is effective to reduce the content of a material made from petroleum and the like (for example, A component or C component), and therefore the environmental load can be reduced.

Examples thereof include polylactic acid-based resins, poly(butylene succinate), poly(butylene succinate-adipate), polyObutylene succinate -terephthalate), poly(ethylene succinate), poly(butylene succinate -carbonate), polyglycolic acid, polycaprolactone, polyhydroxybutyric acid, poly hydroxy valeric acid and a hydroxybutyric acid-hydroxyvaleric acid copolymer. Among these, polylactic acid-based resins, poly(butylene succinate) and polyhydroxybutyric acid are preferred. These may be used alone or in combinations of two or more.
[0038] The above polylactic acid-based resin is a polymer comprising L-lactic acid and/or D-lactic acid as main constituents, and may comprise other copolymerization components other than lactic acid.

The "tackifier resin" is not particularly limited as long as it is generally used in hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesives and provides the hot melt pressure -sensitive adhesive targeted by the present invention. [0041] Examples of the tackifier resin can include natural rosins, modified rosins, hydrogenated rosins, glycerol esters of natural rosins, glycerol esters of modified rosins, pentaerythritol esters of natural rosins, pentaerythritol esters of modified rosins, pentaerythritol esters of hydrogenated rosins, copolymers of natural terpenes, three-dimensional polymers of natural terpenes, hydrogenated derivatives of copolymers of hydrogenated terpenes, polyterpene resins, hydrogenated derivatives of phenol-based modified terpene resins, aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbon resins, hydrogenated derivatives of aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbon resins, aromatic petroleum hydrocarbon resins, hydrogenated derivatives of aromatic petroleum hydrocarbon resins, cyclic aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbon resins and hydrogenated derivatives of cyclic aliphatic petroleum hydrocarbon resins. Among these, tackifier resins having an acid value of 0 to 300 mg KOH/g are preferred, tackifier resins having an acid value of 100 to 300 mg KOH/g are more preferred and tackifier resins having an acid value of 150 to 250 mg KOH/g are further preferred. When the acid value is in these ranges, the alkali-peeling property of the hot melt pressure- sensitive adhesive of the present invention is improved.
[0042] These tackifier resins may be used alone or in combination. For the tackifier resin, liquid type tackifier resins can also be used as long as they are colorless to pale yellow in color tone, have substantially no odor, and have good thermal stability. Considering these properties comprehensively, hydrogenated derivatives of resins and the like are preferred as the tackifier resin.

Specific examples of labels to which the hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied include labels made by using paper, treated paper (paper converted by aluminum vapor deposition, aluminum lamination, varnishing or resin finishing), paper such as synthesized paper, organic compound film, inorganic compound film, metal film or the like.
[0077] Preferred labels used in the present invention include film of an organic compound such as polypropylene, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) or polylactic acid (PLA) which is used particularly in alkaline washing. Preferred examples of polypropylene film include biaxially oriented polypropylene (OPP) film.
[0078] The hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive of the present invention may be applied to the entire back side of a label, or some part of the back side of the label. Examples of methods of application include open wheel methods, closed gun methods and direct coating methods. Since no adhesive remains on a PET bottle when a label is removed, open wheel methods and direct coating methods are preferred.
[0079] The container according to the present invention comprises the above label adhered thereto. Specific examples thereof include glass containers such as glass bottles used for soft drinks, seasonings, detergents, shampoos, cooking oils, cosmetics and pharmaceutical products; plastic containers such as PET (polyethylene terephthalate) bottles! and metal cans such as aluminum cans. Among the above containers, PET bottles are particularly preferred in the present invention. Embodiments of labels of the present invention adhered to a PET bottle include labels adhered to part of the body of a PET bottle and "wrap around labels" rolled around the circumference of the body of a PET bottle.
[0080] The hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive of the present invention is also preferably used for the adhesion of wrap around labels. Biaxially oriented polypropylene (OPP) film is often used as the wrap around label.
[0081] Prints may or may not be on a label to which the hot melt pressure- sensitive adhesive of the present invention is applied. When a printed label is used, the hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive of the present invention may be applied to the printed side as well as the side without prints.
[0082] Examples of apparatuses for adhering a label to a PET bottle by using the hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive for labeling of the present invention include an open wheel apparatus.

[0083] The label adhered to a container by the hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive for labeling of the present invention is easily removed from the container when the container is soaked in a hot alkaline solution. Therefore, the container is suitable for recycling. Methods for removing the label by using a hot alkaline solution are not particularly limited. Examples thereof include a method in which a container to which a label is adhered is cut into small pellets and the pellets are soaked in a hot alkaline aqueous solution (e.g., an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution at a temperature of 80°C to 90°C and a concentration of 0.5 to 5% by weight), and the solution is stirred for about 1 minute to 2 hours.
[0084] For the container to which a label is adhered by the hot melt pressure - sensitive adhesive for labeling of the present invention, the label will not be removed in a normal condition of use of the container due to sufficient adhesion of the adhesive. On the other hand, when the label is to be removed, for example after use of the container, the label can be removed by hand without adhesive residue.

Ex. = Example, Com-Ex. = Comparative Example [0106] As shown in Table 1 and Table 2, the hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesives of Examples which contain all of the three components (A) to (C) are excellent in all of alkali-peeling property, adhesion, hand-peeling property, coating performance and thermal stability.
[0107] On the other hand, as shown in Table 2, the hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesives of Comparative Examples which do not contain one of the components (A) to (C) have much poorer properties than those of the hot melt pressure- sensitive adhesives of Examples. Thus, it is demonstrated that the
advantageous effects of the present invention are obtained when the hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive contains all of the three components (A) to (C).
Industrial Applicability
[0108] The present invention can provide a hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive for labeling, a label to which the hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive is applied and a container to which the label is adhered. The container according to the present invention is particularly useful as a PET bottle for drinks to which an organic film is adhered.
