Definitions
- the present invention relates to an environmentally friendly packaging material comprising a carrier substrate having a first side and a second side facing away from the first side, at least one first coating color layer arranged on the first and/or second side of the carrier substrate, and at least one second coating color layer applied directly or indirectly to the at least one first coating color layer.
- the present invention relates to a method for producing an environmentally friendly packaging material.
- the present invention relates to an environmentally friendly packaging material producible by a method according to the second aspect.
- the present invention relates to a use of an environmentally friendly packaging material according to the first and/or third aspect as packaging, in particular for consumer goods, food, electronic articles and/or tobacco products.
- the present invention relates to a second coating color for the indirect or direct coating of a first coating color layer which is applied to a first carrier substrate.
- a packaging material or packaging paper generally refers to a paper cover, in particular a partial or complete cover, of an object, in particular for its protection or for better handling. Consequently, a packaging material or packaging paper includes the paper material that forms such a packaging.
- Conventional packaging material is used primarily as packaging for consumer goods, food, electronic items and/or tobacco products.
- a packaging material for packaging consumer goods, food, electronic items and/or tobacco products protects the packaged goods from external influences, such as moisture or dirt, on the one hand, and prevents components of the packaged goods from escaping to the outside, on the other.
- packaging materials for packaging consumer goods, food, electronic items and/or tobacco products must meet various criteria. Suitable packaging materials should, among other things, meet mechanical and process-specific requirements and have effective barrier properties against, for example, water, fat, mineral oils, flavorings and/or oxygen.
- a packaging material for packaging consumer goods, food, electronics and/or tobacco products should also have sufficient tear resistance, a friction coefficient adapted to further processing, e.g. in a printing and packaging machine, and sufficient flexibility to be able to package the goods to be packaged effectively.
- a packaging material can be a simple wrapping paper or, if it is partially or fully coated with a heat and cold sealable coating, can be used to make bags, be printable from the outside and not lose its protective effect during the entire conversion and packaging process.
- WO 2022/003472 A1 discloses a barrier coating for paper and cardboard which comprises a polysaccharide and a polycationic polymer.
- WO 2022/269198 A1 discloses a multilayer packaging material which has barrier properties, is biodegradable and recyclable.
- JP 2003-013391 A discloses packaging material having a biodegradable resin coating.
- WO 2008/068779 A2 discloses a packaging material with a water-soluble film.
- packaging materials if they optionally consist of plastic, especially fossil raw materials, are often not or only partially recyclable, and are also often not or only partially biodegradable.
- the corresponding packaging must demonstrate a high level of safety with regard to the goods to be packaged.
- a decisive criterion in assessing the safety of packaging material is that components, in particular water-soluble components, of corresponding conventional packaging materials do not migrate or only migrate to a very small extent from the packaging materials into the respective packaged consumer goods and/or foodstuffs, or into the respective packaged tobacco products, and contaminate them, so that when a user uses consumer goods, food, electronic items and/or tobacco products packaged in packaging materials, possible risks to the user's health can be excluded or minimized.
- packaging materials even if they are made from natural raw materials, often have only a limited barrier effect against oxygen, water vapor, mineral oils, flavorings and/or fat, so that in many cases they are not suitable or only suitable to a limited extent as packaging for consumer goods, food, electronic items and/or tobacco products.
- coating color used in the context of the present invention refers, in accordance with the general understanding in the field of paper technology, to coating materials containing or consisting of binders, additives and/or pigments which are applied or “coated” onto a substrate surface, in particular a paper surface, using special coating devices for surface finishing or modification of a carrier substrate or carrier paper. Papers produced in this way are referred to as “coated papers”.
- a “coated paper” is understood to mean a carrier substrate which comprises one or more layers applied by coating, i.e. coating color layers. Possible layers of such a coated carrier substrate are functional layers and structure-forming layers, such as leveling layers for smoothing the surface.
- coating color is used as a generic term for all spreadable coating materials, preparations and/or solutions in the paper industry for treating, modifying or refining a paper surface.
- coating color layer refers to the coating color applied to the carrier substrate and dried and filmed.
- a "paper” according to the present invention is a flat material that consists essentially of fibers of plant origin and is formed by dewatering a fiber suspension on a sieve. The resulting fiber fleece is compacted and dried.
- the flat materials "cardboard” and “paperboard” produced in the same way are also subsumed under paper.
- the molar mass of a polymer is usually not constant, but is described by a molar mass distribution.
- Various average values for the molar mass distribution can be defined in order to statistically describe the molar mass of a polymer, including the viscosity average, the mass average, and the number average of the molar mass.
- the molar mass Mj of the polymer with a number i of monomers is weighted by the relative number proportion that this polymer has.
- the number average M n of the molar mass describes the average of the molar masses of all polymers in a sample according to the formula shown below. Ni corresponds to the number of monomers in the sample with exactly i repeating units:

- a second coating color containing 14.4 wt.% pullulan and 1.6 wt.% xylitol (corresponds to 90 wt.% pullulan and 10 wt.% xylitol based on the total dry mass of the second coating color) was investigated.
- a second coating color containing 11.2 wt.% pullulan and 4.8 wt.% xylitol (corresponds to 70 wt.% pullulan and 30 wt.% xylitol based on the total dry mass of the second coating color) was investigated.
- a second coating color containing 14.4 wt.% pullulan and 1.6 wt.% sorbitol (corresponds to 90 wt.% pullulan and 10 wt.% sorbitol based on the total dry mass of the second coating color) was investigated.
- a second coating color containing 11.2 wt.% pullulan and 4.8 wt.% sorbitol (corresponds to 70 wt.% pullulan and 30 wt.% sorbitol based on the total dry mass of the second coating color) was investigated.
- Experiments 34 to 39 comprise embodiments of the invention.
- Table 6 Crease resistance and grease resistance of a second coating layer comprising pullulan and polyol (based on the total dry mass of the coating)
- a second coating color containing 16 wt. % pullulan and no polyol was used, and the resulting second coating color layer was examined for sealability.
- a second coating color containing 14.4 wt. % pullulan and 1.6 wt. % xylitol or sorbitol was used (corresponds to 90 wt. % pullulan and 10 wt. % xylitol or sorbitol based on the total dry mass of the second coating color) and the resulting second coating color layer was examined for sealability.
- % xylitol or sorbitol was used (corresponds to 80 wt. % pullulan and 20 wt. % xylitol or sorbitol based on the total dry mass of the second coating color) and the resulting second coating color layer was examined for sealability.
- a second coating color containing 8 wt.% pullulan and 8 wt.% xylitol or sorbitol was used (corresponds to 50 wt.% pullulan and 50 wt.% xylitol or sorbitol based on the total dry mass of the second coating color), and the resulting second coating color layer was investigated for sealability.
- the second coating color comprises 11.2 wt.% pullulan and 4.8 wt.% sorbitol (corresponds to 70 wt.% pullulan and 30 wt.% sorbitol based on the total dry mass of the second coating color).
- the second coating color comprises 12.4 wt.% pullulan and 3.6 wt.% sorbitol (corresponds to 80 wt.% pullulan and 20 wt.% sorbitol based on the total dry mass of the second coating color).
- the second coating color comprises 9.6 wt.% pullulan and 6.4 wt.% sorbitol (corresponds to 60 wt.% pullulan and 40 wt.% sorbitol based on the total dry mass of the second coating color).
- the second coating color comprises 11.2 wt.% pullulan and 4.8 wt.% xylitol (corresponding to 70 wt.% pullulan and 30 wt.% xylitol based on the total dry mass of the second coating color).
- the experiments according to the invention show that by adding at least one polyol, such as sorbitol and/or xylitol, the viscosity of a second coating color based on a polysaccharide, such as pullulan, can be advantageously adjusted such that the corresponding second coating color can be advantageously applied to a carrier substrate on an industrial scale both in a curtain coating process with low viscosity requirements in a range of 200 to 400 mPas and in a doctor blade coating process with viscosities of up to 2000 mPas, which cannot be achieved by a second coating color comprising only pullulan.
- a polysaccharide such as pullulan
- a second coating color according to the invention comprising at least one rheological agent, in particular polyol, and at least one polysaccharide ensures that the second coating color layer obtained after drying of the second coating color has an advantageously low oxygen permeability, an advantageously high grease impermeability and an advantageously high kink resistance, wherein the second coating color layer is also sealable, so that an environmentally friendly packaging for packaging a wide variety of consumer goods, foodstuffs or tobacco products can be obtained, which is made from natural materials and is advantageously biodegradable and recyclable.
- the application weight of the second coating layer can be advantageously reduced, while still ensuring an advantageous barrier effect of the second coating layer.
