Definitions
- This disclosure relates to coextruded multilayer films, laminates, and packaging bags.
- Packaging bags are made from a variety of materials and are made to suit the nature and quantity of the contents, post-processing to prevent deterioration of the contents, the form in which the packaging bag is transported, the method of opening the packaging bag, and the method of disposal.
- biaxially oriented films such as polypropylene resin and polyester resin are used to provide the mechanical strength of the bag, and polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, etc. are used as heat seal materials to seal the contents as a packaging bag.
- Aluminum foil and ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer are also laminated to prevent deterioration of the contents.
- packaging materials are considered to be highly recyclable when the main resin content is 90% or more by mass, but many conventional packaging materials are composed of multiple resin materials, and in some cases paper and metal materials, and do not meet this standard, so they are not currently recycled.
- Patent Document 1 describes a laminate having a base material, an adhesive layer, and a heat seal layer, in which the base material and the heat seal layer are made of polyethylene resin.
- the bag-making process for forming the packaging bag involves a step in which the heat-sealing layers (sealant layers) of the laminate are placed face to face and pressed from the outer surface side of the base material layer of the laminate with a high-temperature tool to heat seal the laminate.
- the tool of the heat-sealing machine is hot, and the outer surface side of the base material layer that directly contacts the tool is exposed to high temperatures.
- problems such as the base material layer being affected by heat and adhering to the tool or wrinkles occurring in the heat-sealed area can occur, and the heat-sealing properties are insufficient.

表層10は、裏層11に含まれるポリエチレン樹脂よりも融点が高い樹脂を含む。表層10は、製袋や充填密封時にヒートシールする際の不具合を防止し、ヒートシール適性を確保するために設けられる。このような役割から、表層10は、後述する積層体の最外層として設けられてよい。
裏層はポリエチレン樹脂を含む。このようなポリエチレン樹脂としては、例えば、超低密度ポリエチレン樹脂(略称:VLDPE、密度:0.910g/cm3未満)、低密度ポリエチレン樹脂(略称:LDPE、密度:0.910g/cm3以上0.930g/cm3未満)、中密度ポリエチレン樹脂(略称:MDPE、密度:0.930g/cm3以上0.942g/cm3未満)、直鎖状低密度ポリエチレン樹脂(略称:LLDPE、密度:0.930g/cm3以上0.942g/cm3未満)及び高密度ポリエチレン樹脂(略称:HDPE、密度:0.942g/cm3以上)が挙げられる。
以下、第二実施形態に係る共押出多層フィルムについて説明する。以下で説明がない点については、不整合が生じない限り、第一実施形態に係る共押出多層フィルムと同様である。図2は、本開示の第二実施形態に係る共押出多層フィルムの断面模式図である。図2に示す共押出多層フィルム2は、表層10と、中間層12と、裏層11と、をこの順序で有する。以下、中間層について説明する。
