Definitions
- the present invention relates to a gas barrier resin composition, a method for producing a gas barrier resin composition, a molded product using the gas barrier resin composition, and the like.
- Gas barrier materials using resins with excellent ability to block gases such as oxygen are widely used in various applications such as containers, films, sheets, and pipes.
- resin having excellent gas barrier properties polyamide, polyester, polyvinylidene chloride, acrylonitrile copolymer, polyvinylidene fluoride, polychlorotrifluoroethylene, ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer sakenized product and the like are known.
- Patent Document 1 describes an invention of a multilayer plastic container having at least one gas barrier resin layer selected from polyamide, polyester, polyvinyl alcohol, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, fluorine-containing resin and silicone resin. ..
- Patent Document 2 states that conventional film materials such as biomass-derived polyolefins do not have sufficient qualities such as adhesion, processability, and durability, and a biomass-derived resin for improving such points. Described is an invention of a resin film comprising a biomass-derived resin layer having a specific composition including.
- Patent Document 3 states that a film in which a petroleum-derived resin is replaced with a biomass-derived resin may have reduced impact resistance and the like, and a biomass-derived biomass polyethylene for improving such a point.
- the present invention describes the invention of a laminated film having an intermediate layer containing polyethylene derived from fossil fuel and a propylene-based block copolymer resin.
- gas barrier resins synthesized using biomass-derived raw materials will be commercialized.
- the performance of the biomass-derived synthetic resin may be inferior to that of the fossil fuel-derived synthetic resin. Therefore, when the conventional fossil fuel-derived gas barrier resin is replaced with the biomass-derived gas barrier resin, There is concern that the most important gas barrier property will be reduced. Therefore, it is desired to develop a biomass-derived resin having an excellent gas barrier property comparable to that of a fossil fuel-derived resin.
- the gas barrier resin may be molded into various shapes such as containers and sheets by melt molding. For this reason, it is also important for the gas barrier resin to have a long-running property (long-term operation characteristic) in which defects and the like are unlikely to occur even if melt molding is continuously performed for a long period of time.
- the present invention has been made based on the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to have a high gas barrier property comparable to that derived from fossil fuel and a sufficient long-run property while using a raw material derived from biomass. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gas barrier resin composition having a gas barrier resin composition, a molded product using the gas barrier resin composition, and a method for producing such a gas barrier resin composition.
- the present inventor has synthesized an ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer saken product, which is a kind of gas barrier resin, using a raw material derived from biomass as a monomer and a raw material derived from fossil fuel as a monomer. It was found that it has a high gas barrier property comparable to that of the conventional one having the same structure. On the other hand, regarding the long-run property, the ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer saken product synthesized by using the raw material derived from biomass as a monomer is inferior to the one synthesized by using the raw material derived from fossil fuel as a monomer, which is a gas barrier property. It was also found that it tends to be different from.
- an ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer saken product in which a raw material derived from biomass and a raw material derived from fossil fuel are used in combination is derived from fossil fuel while reducing the environmental load.
- the present invention has been completed by finding that it can exhibit a high gas barrier property similar to that using only the raw materials of the above and also has a sufficient long-running property.
- a part of ethylene and vinyl ester which contains one or more kinds of ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer kendies and is a raw material of the above one or more kinds of ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer kendies, is biomass.
- Gas barrier resin composition of origin the balance of which is derived from fossil fuels;
- the above-mentioned one or more kinds of ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer saken products are the same as the ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer saken product (A) in which at least a part of the raw materials ethylene and vinyl ester is derived from biomass.

- the gas barrier resin composition of the present invention contains one or more kinds of ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer saken compounds (ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer; hereinafter also referred to as "EVOH”), and one or more of the above.
- EVOH ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer
- the gas barrier resin composition has a low environmental load because a raw material derived from biomass is partially used.
- EVOH is selected and used as the gas barrier resin, and even when EVOH is synthesized using a raw material derived from biomass, it is the same as that synthesized only from the raw material derived from fossil fuel. It can exhibit the same high gas barrier property as EVOH of the structure.
- EVOH having the same structure means EVOH having the same degree of polymerization, content ratio of each structural unit, presence / absence of denaturation, degree of saponification, and the like.
- EVOH is also used with a raw material derived from fossil fuel, so that the long-run property is sufficient.
- the long-run property in the present specification can be evaluated by the method described in Examples, and can be comprehensively evaluated by the degree of defects, streaks, and coloring when the gas barrier resin composition is continuously formed into a film.
- coloring may not be a particular problem. Therefore, it is evaluated that the long-running property is sufficient if there are few defects and streaks when the film is continuously formed for a predetermined time (for example, 10 hours).
- the biobase degree is an index showing the ratio of biomass-derived raw materials, and in the present specification, it is the biobase carbon content obtained by measuring the concentration of radioactive carbon (14 C) by an accelerator mass spectrometer (AMS).
- the degree of biobase can be specifically measured according to the method described in ASTM D6866-18. That is, when the biobase degree of EVOH is usually more than 0% and less than 100%, it can be said that the ethylene and vinyl esters used as raw materials contain both biomass-derived and fossil fuel-derived.
- Biomass is a resource that is an organic substance derived from animals and plants, excluding fossil fuels (fossil resources). Biomass may be a resource that is an organic matter derived from plants.
- the gas barrier resin composition of the present invention can also be used to track its own products by utilizing the concentration of radiocarbon (14 C).
- Organisms take up and contain a certain amount of radiocarbon (14 C) in the atmosphere during their activity, but when the activity is stopped, the uptake of new 14 C stops and the ratio of 14 C to total carbon decreases.
- isotope sorting occurs when plants fix carbon, and the ratio of 14 C to total carbon differs depending on the plant species. It is known that the ratio of 14 C to total carbon differs depending on the place of origin and age, and a raw material having a ratio of 14 C to total carbon can be obtained depending on the biomass used as a raw material.

- EVOH used in the gas barrier layer of a commercially available packaging container is formed into a packaging container by thermoforming, but the ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer saken product is a gel insoluble in a solvent due to the thermal history received during thermoforming. May form. Therefore, even if the packaging container is collected, the EVOH used is extracted with a solvent, and the molecular weight is to be measured, it is often difficult to accurately measure the molecular weight. Therefore, it is not possible to determine whether or not it is EVOH of the company only by analyzing the molded product.
- EVOH is used in films, sheets, containers, etc. as a packaging material for foods, pharmaceuticals, industrial chemicals, pesticides, etc. through many distribution channels. It is also used in fuel tanks for automobiles and other vehicles, tube materials for tires, agricultural films, geomembranes, cushioning materials for shoes, etc., taking advantage of its barrier properties, heat retention properties, stain resistance, and the like. When these materials in which EVOH is used are further discarded, it is difficult to determine from which factory and which production line the such resin and the packaging container after use thereof are manufactured. In addition, it is difficult to conduct a quality survey of the company's products during or after use, and to track the environmental impact after disposal and the degradability into the ground.
- a method of adding a tracer substance to EVOH can be considered.
- the addition of a tracer may cause an increase in cost and a decrease in EVOH performance.

本発明のガスバリア樹脂組成物は、一種又は二種以上のエチレン-ビニルエステル共重合体ケン化物(エチレン-ビニルアルコール共重合体;以下、「EVOH」ともいう。)を含み、上記一種又は二種以上のEVOHの原料(原料モノマー)であるエチレン及びビニルエステルの一部がバイオマス由来であり、上記原料(原料モノマー)であるエチレン及びビニルエステルの残部が化石燃料由来である、ガスバリア樹脂組成物である。当該ガスバリア樹脂組成物は、バイオマス由来の原料が一部に用いられていることで、環境負荷が低い。また、当該ガスバリア樹脂組成物は、ガスバリア樹脂としてEVOHを選択して用いており、EVOHはバイオマス由来の原料を用いて合成された場合であっても、化石燃料由来の原料のみから合成された同一構造のEVOHと同等の高いガスバリア性を発揮できる。なお、同一構造のEVOHとは、重合度、各構造単位の含有比率、変性の有無、ケン化度等が同じであるEVOHをいう。さらに、当該ガスバリア樹脂組成物においては、EVOHに化石燃料由来の原料も併用されていることで、ロングラン性も十分なものとなる。なお、本発明がこのような効果を奏する理由は定かではないが、バイオマス由来の原料を用いてEVOHを合成した場合、ガスバリア性には影響を与えないもののロングラン性には影響を与える微量且つ不可避的な不純物が生成又は混入することなどが推測される。
本発明のガスバリア樹脂組成物に含まれる一種又は二種以上のEVOHの形態としては、以下の(I)及び(II)の形態が挙げられる。
(I)原料であるエチレン及びビニルエステルの少なくとも一部がバイオマス由来であるEVOH(A)と、化石燃料由来であるEVOH(B)とを含む形態
(II)原料であるエチレン及びビニルエステルの一部がバイオマス由来であり、残部が化石燃料由来であるEVOH(A’)を含む形態
EVOH(A)は、原料モノマーであるエチレン及びビニルエステルの少なくとも一部がバイオマス由来であるEVOHである。EVOH(A)がバイオマス由来の原料を含むことで、本発明のガスバリア樹脂組成物のバイオベース度を高め、環境負荷を低減できる。
EVOH(B)は、化石燃料由来のEVOHである。ここで、化石燃料由来のEVOHとは、化石燃料由来の原料を用いて合成されたEVOHを意味する。すなわち、EVOH(B)は、原料モノマーであるエチレン、ビニルエステル及び必要に応じて用いられるその他の単量体の全てが化石燃料由来であるEVOHである。換言すれば、EVOH(B)は、バイオマス由来の原料を用いずに合成されたEVOHである。本発明のガスバリア樹脂組成物がEVOH(B)を含むことで、十分なロングラン性を発揮することができる。
EVOH(A’)は、原料モノマーであるエチレン及びビニルエステルの一部がバイオマス由来であり、上記原料モノマーであるエチレン及びビニルエステルの残部が化石燃料由来であるEVOHである。EVOH(A’)の原料がバイオマス由来の原料を含むことで、本発明のガスバリア樹脂組成物におけるバイオベース度を高め、環境負荷を低減できる傾向となる。また、EVOH(A’)の原料が化石燃料由来の原料を含むことで、本発明のガスバリア樹脂組成物のロングラン性を良好なものとすることができる。
一種又は二種以上のEVOHは、EVOH(X)、及び上記EVOH(X)よりも融点が低いEVOH(Y)を含むことが好ましい。換言すれば、一種又は二種以上のEVOHは、EVOH(X)及びEVOH(Y)の少なくとも2つに分類できることが好ましい。本発明のガスバリア樹脂組成物が、融点の異なる二種のEVOH(EVOH(X)及びEVOH(Y))を含む場合、良好なガスバリア性及び成形性を維持できる傾向となる。このような当該ガスバリア樹脂組成物は、多層シート、多層シートを加熱延伸成形法により成形してなる包装材、多層シートを真空圧空成形法により成形してなる容器等の材料として特に好適である。
EVOH(X)及びEVOH(Y)のうちの一方がEVOH(A)であり、他方がEVOH(B)である形態、
EVOH(X)及びEVOH(Y)の少なくとも一方がEVOH(A)又はEVOH(A’)とEVOH(B)との双方を含む形態、
EVOH(X)及びEVOH(Y)がEVOH(A’)である形態
などが挙げられる。
EVOH(X)はEVOH(Y)よりも高い融点を有するEVOHであり、通常、本発明のガスバリア樹脂組成物に含まれるEVOHにおいて、最も高い融点を有するEVOHである。当該ガスバリア樹脂組成物がEVOH(X)を含むことで、優れたガスバリア性を有する傾向となる。EVOH(X)の融点の下限は150℃が好ましく、155℃がより好ましく、160℃がさらに好ましい。EVOH(X)の融点の上限は200℃が好ましい。EVOH(X)の融点が上記範囲内であると、当該ガスバリア樹脂組成物のガスバリア性が良好となる傾向となる。
EVOH(Y)は、EVOH(X)よりも低い融点を有するEVOHである。本発明のガスバリア樹脂組成物がEVOH(Y)を含むことで、優れた成形性を示す傾向となる。EVOH(Y)の融点の下限は100℃が好ましく、105℃がより好ましく、110℃がさらに好ましい。EVOH(Y)の融点の上限は180℃が好ましい。EVOH(Y)の融点が上記範囲内であると、当該ガスバリア樹脂組成物のガスバリア性が良好となる傾向となる。
EVOH(Y)とEVOH(X)とのエチレン単位含有量差(Y-X)は5モル%以上が好ましく、7モル%以上がより好ましく、10モル%以上がさらに好ましい。また、上記エチレン単位含有量差(Y-X)は25モル%以下であってもよい。上記エチレン単位含有量差(Y-X)が上記範囲であると、良好なガスバリア性を示しつつ成形性が良好となる傾向となる。
本発明のガスバリア樹脂組成物において、EVOHは、EVOH(Y)よりも融点が低いEVOH(Z)をさらに含んでいてもよい。換言すれば、一種又は二種以上のEVOHは、EVOH(X)、EVOH(Y)及びEVOH(Z)の少なくとも3つに分類できるものであってよい。当該ガスバリア樹脂組成物がEVOH(Z)を含むと、優れた成形性を示す傾向となる。EVOH(Z)の好適な態様は、EVOH(Y)よりも融点が低いことを除き、EVOH(Y)と同様である。
本発明のガスバリア樹脂組成物は、無機粒子(C)をさらに含むことが好ましい。当該ガスバリア樹脂組成物は、無機粒子(C)を有する場合、当該ガスバリア樹脂組成物から形成される層を含むフィルム等の耐破断性が良好となる傾向となる。また、無機粒子(C)を含むことで、当該ガスバリア樹脂組成物から形成される層を含むフィルムの表面上に蒸着層を形成する際に、蒸着欠点を抑制でき、蒸着層との密着強度を高められる場合がある。さらに、無機粒子(C)を含有することで、形成される層またはフィルムの表面の算術平均粗さ(Ra)を適度なものとし、耐ブロッキング性及び滑り性を向上させる場合もある。ここで、無機粒子とは、無機物を主成分とする粒子をいう。「主成分」とは、最も含有量が多い成分をいい、例えば含有量が50質量%以上の成分をいい、50質量%超の成分であることが好ましく、90質量%以上の成分であることがより好ましい。以下、「主成分」について同様である。
本発明のガスバリア樹脂組成物は、酸化防止剤(D)をさらに含むことが好ましい。当該ガスバリア樹脂組成物は、酸化防止剤(D)を含有することで耐酸化劣化性が向上する。そのため、当該ガスバリア樹脂組成物が酸化防止剤(D)を含むと、当該ガスバリア樹脂組成物から形成されるパイプ等の成形体において、長期使用時においても力学的強度の低下が起こり難く、経年劣化によるクラックの発生を抑制できる傾向となる。

本発明のガスバリア樹脂組成物は、ポリアミド(PA)(E)をさらに含むことが好ましい。当該ガスバリア樹脂組成物がPA(E)を含む場合、耐レトルト性が良好となる。
本発明のガスバリア樹脂組成物は、マグネシウム、カルシウム及び亜鉛からなる群より選ばれる少なくとも1種の金属原子(F)を含むことが好ましい。当該ガスバリア樹脂組成物が金属原子(F)を含むことで、溶融成形時のロングラン性が良好となる。特に、一般的にEVOHに対してPAを含有させた樹脂組成物はロングラン性が低下する傾向にあるが、本発明のガスバリア樹脂組成物がPA(E)と共に金属原子(F)を含むことで、十分なロングラン性を発揮することができる。
本発明のガスバリア樹脂組成物は熱可塑性エラストマー(G)をさらに含むことが好ましい。当該ガスバリア樹脂組成物が熱可塑性エラストマー(G)を含む場合、耐屈曲性が良好となる傾向となる。なお、熱可塑性エラストマー(G)は、原料がバイオマス由来であっても、化石燃料由来であってもよい。

本発明のガスバリア樹脂組成物が熱可塑性エラストマー(G)を含む場合、一種又は二種以上のEVOHのマトリックス中に熱可塑性エラストマー(G)の粒子が分散していることが好ましい。すなわち、本発明のガスバリア樹脂組成物は、海島構造を有し、海相が主に一種又は二種以上のEVOHからなり、島相が主に熱可塑性エラストマー(G)からなる海島構造であることが好ましい。このように、海相が主に一種又は二種以上のEVOHからなることで、ガスバリア性を保ちつつ、柔軟性が向上する。

本発明のガスバリア樹脂組成物はカルボン酸をさらに含有することが好ましい。当該ガスバリア樹脂組成物がカルボン酸を含有すると、溶融成形性や高温下での着色耐性を改善できる。特に、ガスバリア樹脂組成物のpH緩衝能力が高まり、酸性物質や塩基性物質に対する着色耐性を改善できる場合がある点から、カルボン酸のpKaが3.5~5.5の範囲にあることがより好ましい。
本発明のガスバリア樹脂組成物のバイオベース度の下限は、環境負荷を低減する観点から1%が好ましく、5%がより好ましく、20%がさらに好ましく、40%が特に好ましい。また、例えば特に優れたロングラン性が要求されない用途などにおいては、当該ガスバリア樹脂組成物のバイオベース度の下限は、60%であってもよく、80%であってもよい。一方、当該ガスバリア樹脂組成物のバイオベース度の上限は、ロングラン性を良好とする観点から99%が好ましく、95%がより好ましく、85%、75%、65%、55%、45%、35%又は25%がさらに好ましい場合もある。なお、このガスバリア樹脂組成物のバイオベース度とは、EVOH以外の任意成分に含まれる他の樹脂等も考慮して測定される値をいう。

接着層:変性ポリオレフィン(モディック(登録商標)L522、三菱ケミカル株式会社製)とLLDPE(ハーモレックス(登録商標)F325N、日本ポリエチレン株式会社製)の1:1ブレンド
内面層:LLDPE(ハーモレックス(登録商標)F325N、日本ポリエチレン株式会社製)
上記層構成になるよう各溶融した樹脂を共押出することにより、溶融状態の積層パリソンを作製した。積層パリソン作製時にリップ幅を調整して口頭部の厚みが厚くなるように調整を行った。かかる積層パリソンをブロー成形金型にセットし、ブロー成形法によって所望の容器形状に成形した。ブロー成形の際、口頭部の厚みが本体部の厚みより十分厚くなるように調整を行った。共押出の条件は、口頭部を除く外層と内層の厚さがどちらも70~130μmの範囲内であり且つ外層/内層の厚さの比が0.8~1.3となるように調節した。ブロー成形の条件は、ブロー圧:0.4MPa、金型温度:25℃、ブロー時間:15秒とした。
