Cold sealing film and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of cold-seal packaging, in particular to a cold-seal film and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The cold sealing film is formed by coating patterned cold sealing glue on the surface of a non-printing layer of a substrate. Under the normal temperature state, through sealing the pressure to the packaging film, can make the cold seal glue on the cold seal film adhere together to realize the involution of article.
The common cold seal film is generally a surface-printing structure cold seal film, and the surface-printing structure cold seal film generally comprises a cold seal gloss oil layer, an ink layer, a base material layer and a patterned cold seal adhesive which are sequentially overlapped together; the cold sealing gloss oil layer is used for protecting the ink layer of the ink layer so as to ensure that the color of the cold sealing film can be relatively durable; moreover, the patterned cold sealing adhesive can be prevented from being reversely adhered to the ink layer, and the sealing is ensured to be normal.
However, when a cold sealing film with a surface printing structure is prepared, if the cold sealing gloss oil layer is not sufficiently dried, after the cold sealing film is stored for a period of time, the cold sealing gloss oil of the cold sealing gloss oil layer is easily transferred to the patterned cold sealing adhesive, so that the cold sealing performance of the patterned cold sealing adhesive is reduced, even disappears, and the cold sealing film is easily sealed insecurely or even cannot be sealed.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a preparation method of a cold sealing film, which aims to solve the problem that the cold sealing performance is poor after the cold sealing film is stored for a period of time due to insufficient drying of a cold sealing gloss oil layer.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
a preparation method of a cold sealing film comprises the following steps:
providing a base material;
coating crosslinkable printing ink on one side of the substrate, so that an ink layer is formed on the surface of the substrate coated with the printing ink;
forming an ink protective layer on the surface of the ink layer, which is far away from the substrate, by adopting an evaporation process;
and forming patterned cold sealing glue on the surface of the substrate, which is far away from the ink layer.
Compared with the prior art, in the preparation method of the cold seal film, the cross-linkable printing ink is coated on one surface of the substrate, so that the ink layer is formed on the surface of the substrate coated with the cross-linkable printing ink, then the ink protective layer is formed on the surface of the ink layer away from the substrate by adopting the evaporation process, and the material to be evaporated needs to be heated in a vacuum environment during evaporation, so that the material is gasified and evaporated on the surface of the ink layer away from the substrate; therefore, even if the material to be evaporated contains a solvent, the material to be evaporated can be completely volatilized under the heating condition of the vacuum environment, so that the ink protection layer evaporated on the surface, away from the substrate, of the ink layer can not contain the solvent.
The invention also provides a cold seal film, which is prepared by adopting the preparation method of the cold seal film provided by the technical scheme.
Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the cold seal film provided by the invention are the same as those of the preparation method of the cold seal film, and are not repeated herein.

Detailed Description
The cold seal film and the preparation method thereof provided by the invention are explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in fig. 1, a method for preparing a cold seal film according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:
s100: providing a base material, coating the cross-linkable printing ink on one surface of the base material, and forming an ink layer on the surface of the base material coated with the cross-linkable printing ink;
s200: forming an ink protective layer on the surface of the ink layer, which is far away from the base material, by adopting an evaporation process;
s300: and forming patterned cold sealing glue on the surface of the base material, which is far away from the ink layer.
Based on the preparation process of the cold seal film, in the preparation method of the cold seal film provided by the embodiment of the invention, the crosslinkable printing ink is coated on one surface of the substrate, so that the surface of the substrate coated with the crosslinkable printing ink forms the ink layer, then the evaporation process is adopted to form the ink protection layer on the surface of the ink layer away from the substrate, and during evaporation, the material to be evaporated needs to be heated in a vacuum environment, so that the material is evaporated to the surface of the ink layer away from the substrate; therefore, even if the material to be evaporated contains a solvent, the material to be evaporated can be completely volatilized under the heating condition of the vacuum environment, so that the ink protection layer evaporated on the surface, away from the substrate, of the ink layer can not contain the solvent.
The substrate may be a vacuum aluminum-plated film, and the ink layer is formed on an aluminum-plated surface of the vacuum aluminum-plated film; the patterned cold sealing adhesive is coated on the surface of the vacuum aluminum-plated film, which is far away from the aluminum-plated surface, so that the ink and the patterned cold sealing adhesive can be isolated through the aluminum film on the aluminum-plated surface of the vacuum aluminum-plated film, and the ink is prevented from permeating into the patterned cold sealing adhesive through the vacuum aluminum-plated film; in other words, the method for preparing the cold sealing film provided by the embodiment of the invention can adopt the vacuum aluminum-plated film to protect the ink of the ink layer.
The vacuum aluminized film is exemplarily a vacuum aluminized biaxially oriented polypropylene film or a vacuum aluminized polyethylene terephthalate film, but other vacuum aluminized films capable of being used as a substrate can be selected, and are not listed here.
Further, in order to make the ink layer and the patterned photoresist better fit on two different surfaces of the substrate, before coating the crosslinkable printing ink on one surface of the substrate, the preparation method of the cold seal film further comprises the following steps: and roughening the whole surface of the base material to ensure that the contact area between the ink layer and the patterned cold sealing adhesive and the surface of the base material is larger, so that the ink layer and the patterned cold sealing adhesive can be formed on the surface of the base material more closely.
Optionally, the roughening treatment may be performed by various methods, for example: and (4) performing corona treatment. When roughening is carried out by means of corona treatment, the corona treatment is carried out by carrying out corona discharge on the surface of the base material by using high-frequency high voltage (high-frequency alternating current voltage reaches 5000-2) And low-temperature plasma is generated, so that the molecular structure on the surface of the printing stock is rearranged on the surface of the base material, more polar parts are generated, and the ink layer and the patterned cold sealing adhesive can be better formed on the surface of the base material.
In addition, when the substrate is a vacuum aluminum-plated film, the surface of the vacuum aluminum-plated film is corona-treated, and the aluminum-plated surface of the vacuum aluminum-plated film has increased roughness, and the material of the aluminum-plated surface of the vacuum aluminum-plated film is substantially an aluminum film, which is oxidized and passivated by the aluminum material after corona treatment to form a dense aluminum oxide film, thereby further increasing the isolation of the substrate from the ink layer ink.
In addition, when the ink layer is formed in the above embodiment, the used crosslinkable printing ink is the ultraviolet light curable ink, so that when the ultraviolet light curable ink is coated on the surface of the substrate, the ultraviolet light curable ink can be cured by using ultraviolet light, so that the ink layer is formed on the surface of the substrate, and the influence of thermal curing on the substrate is also avoided.
Considering that the cold-seal gloss oil layer in the cold-seal film in the prior art is sensitive to temperature, the cold-seal film can only be stored at low temperature, and the storage condition of the cold-seal film is harsh; based on this, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the ink thin film layer can be formed by the following two methods.
The first method comprises the following steps: as shown in fig. 2, the forming of the ink protection layer on the surface of the ink layer away from the substrate by using the vacuum evaporation process includes:
S210A: carrying out vacuum evaporation on the ultraviolet curing polyurethane acrylate vacuum evaporation coating to the surface of the ink layer away from the substrate;
S220A: and carrying out ultraviolet curing treatment on the ultraviolet curing polyurethane acrylate vacuum evaporation coating evaporated on the surface of the ink layer, which is far away from the base material, so as to obtain the cross-linked polyurethane acrylate film serving as the ink protective layer.
According to the specific process of forming the ink protection layer on the surface of the ink layer, which is far away from the base material, by adopting the evaporation process, the material for forming the ink protection layer is the ultraviolet-curing polyurethane acrylate vacuum evaporation coating, after the ultraviolet-curing polyurethane acrylate vacuum evaporation coating is evaporated on the surface of the ink layer and is cured, the formed cross-linked polyurethane acrylate film serving as the ink protection layer is smooth like a mirror surface, high in surface hardness, good in adhesive force and comparable to metal and relatively resistant, and tests prove that the hardness of the surface coating can finally reach about 6 hours to prevent the mirror surface from being peeled off, so that the cold-seal film provided by the embodiment of the invention can seal objects with high density, has good pressure resistance and wear resistance and is not easy to damage. Moreover, because the printing ink protective layer is formed by combining the evaporation coating process and the photocuring process, most of solvents are volatilized in the evaporation coating process, and after the printing ink protective layer is formed, almost no solvent is left, so that the phenomenon that the solvent is left can be reduced or even eliminated by forming the printing ink protective layer on the surface of the printing ink layer, which deviates from the base material, by adopting the evaporation coating process, so that the problems of cold seal and capacity reduction can be avoided after the cold seal film is stored for a period of time. In addition, the cross-linked polyurethane acrylate film is not sensitive to temperature, so that the problem that the cold sealing film needs to be stored at low temperature when the cold sealing gloss oil layer is used as an ink protective layer is solved.
In order to improve the flexibility of the cross-linked polyurethane acrylate film, the thickness of the cross-linked polyurethane acrylate film is limited between 2nm and 5nm so as to avoid brittleness caused by over hardness of the cross-linked polyurethane acrylate film.
The second method comprises the following steps: as shown in fig. 3, the ink protective layer formed on the surface of the ink layer away from the substrate by using the vacuum evaporation process can be further manufactured by the following method:
S210B: and evaporating metal aluminum to the surface of the ink layer departing from the substrate by adopting a vacuum evaporation process to form an aluminum film with the thickness of 5nm-7 nm.
S220B: and oxidizing the aluminum film by adopting a low-temperature plasma oxidation all-in-one machine to obtain the aluminum oxide film serving as the ink protective layer.
The low-temperature plasma oxidation all-in-one machine has the advantages that when the low-temperature plasma oxidation all-in-one machine is used for carrying out oxidation treatment on metal aluminum, the temperature is low, damage of the ink layer and the base material layer caused by overhigh temperature is reduced, in addition, after oxidation, the formed ink protection layer is an aluminum oxide film, the abrasion resistance is high, in addition, the ink protection layer is obtained through oxidation of the aluminum film with the thickness of 5nm-7nm, and therefore, the aluminum oxide film also has good flexibility. Meanwhile, as the vacuum evaporation process is adopted when the aluminum film is manufactured, and the plasma oxidation process is adopted when the aluminum film is subjected to oxidation treatment, no solvent is involved in the whole process, so that no solvent residue exists in the formed aluminum oxide film serving as the ink protective layer, and the sealing performance of the cold sealing film during cold sealing is still good after the cold sealing film is stored for a period of time. In addition, because the alumina film is not sensitive to temperature, the problem that the cold seal film needs to be stored under low temperature when the cold seal gloss oil layer is used as an ink protective layer is also solved.
Further, the step of forming the patterned cold sealing adhesive on the surface of the substrate away from the ink layer includes: coating patterned cold sealing glue on the surface of the base material, which is far away from the ink layer, so as to obtain a cold sealing glue layer; wherein the cold sealing glue is 2g/m2-3g/m2The coating amount of (2) is applied to the surface of the substrate facing away from the ink layer.
In view of the technical problems solved by the embodiments of the present invention in the prior art, the coating weight of the cold sealing adhesive is increased, and generally, after the coating weight of the cold sealing adhesive is increased, the coating weight of the cold sealing adhesive is 4g/m2-5g/m2In the embodiment of the invention, the ink protective layer is manufactured by using the evaporation process, so that the cold sealing adhesive is 2g/m2-3g/m2The coating amount is coated on the surface of the base material, which is far away from the ink layer, and the sealing performance of the cold sealing adhesive is still good after the base material is stored for a period of time.
The embodiment of the invention also provides a cold seal film, which is prepared by adopting the preparation method of the cold seal film.
Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the cold seal film provided by the invention are the same as those of the preparation method of the cold seal film, and are not repeated herein.

TABLE 1 sealing Strength test results of cold seal films stored for different periods of time (sealing Strength Unit N/15 mm)
The sealing strength is measured according to a QB/T2358-1998 plastic film packaging bag heat sealing strength test method under the test conditions of sealing time of 3s and sealing pressure 294N, and then a 15mm wide sample is taken to be tested in a universal material testing machine.

As can be seen by comparing the first to third examples with the first comparative example, the ink protective layers in the first to third examples are cross-linked urethane acrylate films prepared by combining the evaporation method and the photo-curing process, in which almost no solvent remains, while the first comparative example is a cold sealing gloss oil layer prepared by using the conventional technique, in which relatively much solvent remains; by comparing the example four with the comparative example, it can be found that the sealing performance of the cold sealing adhesive of the cold sealing film is hardly reduced after the substrate is stable, while the sealing performance of the cold sealing adhesive of the cold sealing film prepared in the comparative example two is greatly reduced after the substrate is stable. Therefore, the preparation method of the cold sealing film provided by the embodiment of the invention can solve the problem that the cold sealing performance is poor after the cold sealing film is stored for a period of time due to insufficient drying of the cold sealing gloss oil layer.
