Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In this embodiment, although the structure shape | molded in the container main body of a packaging container is illustrated as a multilayer sheet of this invention, it is not this limitation.

[Configuration of multilayer sheet]
In FIG. 1, 10 is a multilayer sheet, and the multilayer sheet 10 is a laminate in which two layers of a surface layer 11 and a base material layer 12 adjacent to the surface layer are sequentially laminated.

The surface layer 11 is a layer that comes into contact with the contents and is heat-sealed with the sealant of the lid when the multilayer sheet 10 is molded into the shape of a container body, for example. Then, as will be described in detail later, the lid and the heat-sealed portion are peeled off from the container body together with the lid, like the opening of the easy-open container that is used as the container body of the easy-open container.
As the surface layer 11, for example, a material heat-sealed with the lid, preferably a polyolefin-based resin is suitably used. Specifically, polypropylene resins such as homopolypropylene (HPP), random polypropylene (RPP) and block polypropylene, polyethylene resins such as high density polyethylene (HDPE) and low density polyethylene (LDPE), linear ethylene- An α-olefin copolymer or the like is used.

The base material layer 12 constitutes a lower layer of the surface layer 11 adjacent to the surface layer 11, and is delaminated with the surface layer 11 when the easy-open container described later is opened.
The base material layer 12 is made of a material having a loss tangent tan δ value at 165 ° C. of less than 0.18, preferably 0.10 or less, particularly preferably 0.07 or less.
Here, when the value of the loss tangent tan δ at 165 ° C. of the material constituting the base material layer 12 becomes 0.18 or more, for example, when the heat seal is performed, the base material layer flows and a resin pool is generated at the edge of the heat seal. As a result, the inconvenience that the openability deteriorates is caused. Therefore, the value of the loss tangent tan δ at 165 ° C. is set to less than 0.18. There is no particular problem if the value of the loss tangent tan δ is less than 0.18, but for example, it can be suitably used if it is 0.01 or more.
And the measuring method and measuring device of loss tangent tan-delta are dynamic viscoelasticity measuring devices (DMS). The loss tangent tan δ of the resin as the constituent material can be controlled by blending the raw materials used.

It is preferable to use a resin composition in which PP: PE = 30 mass% or more and 99 mass% or less: 1 mass% or more and 70 mass% or less.
Here, if the mass ratio PP / PE is smaller than 0.67, there is a possibility that a resin pool is generated during heat sealing, resulting in inconvenience that unsuccessful opening occurs. In particular, when the mass ratio PP / PE is less than 0.429, rigidity may be insufficient, and when the mass ratio PP / PE is more than 99, flexibility may be insufficient.
The polypropylene resin is specifically selected from any of four types of homopolypropylene, random polypropylene, block polypropylene, and mixtures thereof. And when heat resistance is considered, it is preferable in order of a homo polypropylene, a block polypropylene, and a random polypropylene. Moreover, when considering the sealing properties with other layers, random polypropylene, block polypropylene, and homopolypropylene are preferable in this order.
Specific examples of the polyethylene-based resin include high-density polyethylene and low-density polyethylene. Particularly, low-density polyethylene is preferably used for reasons of molding process stability.

Note that an inorganic filler such as talc may be added to the base material layer 12.
Further, the base material layer 12 is laminated and formed directly adjacent to the surface layer 11, but does not flow or hardly flows between the surface layer 11 and the base material layer 12 due to heat sealing such as an adhesive layer. A relatively thin layer may be provided.

[Configuration of easy-open container]
Next, the structure of the easily openable container using the said multilayer sheet 10 is demonstrated with reference to drawings.
FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing an embodiment of the easy-open container 1 of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of the easy-open container 1 at the position IX-IX in FIG. Is a state before opening, (B) is a diagram showing the state after opening.

The easy-open container 1 includes a container body 2 and a lid 3. The container body 2 is formed by molding the multilayer sheet 10, specifically, by heating. The surface layer 11 of the multilayer sheet 10 corresponds to the release layer 21, and the base material layer 12 corresponds to the front and lower layer 22. It is a laminated body in which two layers of the peeling layer 21 and the front lower layer 22 are laminated in this order.
The container main body 2 has a substantially rectangular tray shape having a predetermined depth, and has a substantially rectangular opening 24, and a flange 25 is formed on the periphery of the opening 24 so as to project outward. It is arranged. In the easy-open container 1, the flange portion 25 and the lid 3 placed on the flange portion 25 with respect to the opening portion 24 are heat sealed to form an annular heat seal portion 26 (see FIG. 3). The inside of the easy-open container 1 is sealed. Further, the container body 2 is provided with a notch 27 as a circumferential notch groove in the state where the release layer 21 is cut into the inside of the heat seal portion 26.

Here, the notch 27 is cut at the position of the notch 27 when the lid 3 is opened, even when a part of the thickness of the release layer 21 in the position of the notch 27 remains. The depth is not particularly limited as long as the depth does not cause delamination to the release layer 21 on the opening 24 side. In particular, it is preferable that the depth reaches the surface lower layer 22, that is, a depth equal to or greater than the thickness dimension of the release layer 21. Note that the notches 27 are formed in series by a molding operation using a claw-like member provided on the mold when the container body 2 is molded from the multilayer sheet 10, for example, or notched after the container body 2 is molded. May be.
And in order to open the easily openable container 1 of a sealing state, as shown to FIG. 3 (A), the cover body 3 is pulled up in the opening start part 4 provided in the corner of the easy openable container 1. Then, as shown in FIG. 3 (B), the easy-open container 1 is easily opened.

The thickness of the flange portion 25 of the container body 2 is preferably 200 μm or more and 2000 μm or less, more preferably 250 μm or more and 600 μm or less, and particularly preferably 300 μm or more and 500 μm or less.
Here, if the thickness of the flange portion 25 is less than 200 μm, there is a possibility that the rigidity of the container is lowered. If the thickness is greater than 2000 μm, many materials are required and the manufacturing cost (raw material cost) increases. Therefore, the above range is set.

In this embodiment, the lid 3 has an outer layer 32 as a base material layer that appears outside the easy-open container 1, and a seal layer 31 that is a sealant layer that is heat-sealed with the release layer 21 of the container body 2. It is the laminated body which consists of.
As the outer layer 32 constituting the lid 3, a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, a biaxially stretched nylon film (O—Ny) or the like can be used. The seal layer 31 can be made of a resin composition such as linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE).
Then, by heat-sealing the container body 2 and the lid 3, the release layer 21 and the seal layer 31 are fused to form the heat seal portion 26, and the container that is weak against stress at the time of opening. The peeling layer 21 of the main body 2 is peeled from the surface lower layer 22 on the outer peripheral side from the notch 27.

Here, in manufacturing the easy-open container 1, a seal device 70 including an annular seal disc 7 as shown in FIG. 4 is used. In order to fuse the flange portion 25 of the container body 2 and the lid body 3 so that the easily openable container 1 is in a sealed state, the lid body 3 is overlaid on the flange portion 25 of the container body 2. Heat sealing is performed by pressing the heated annular sealing disk 7 of the sealing device 70 from the upper surface.
That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the heat seal between the flange portion 25 of the container body 2 and the lid body 3 is performed by superimposing the lid body 3 on the flange portion 25 of the container body 2 and heating from the upper portion of the lid body 3. This is performed by pressing the annular seal disc 7 in the state of FIG. 4 in the direction of the arrow, whereby the release layer 21 that appears on the flange portion 25 of the container body 2 and the seal layer 31 of the lid 3 are fused. .

  An annular seal disc 7 used for manufacturing the easy-open container 1 of the present embodiment includes an annular seal portion 7A and a flat base portion 7B. Although the material which comprises the cyclic | annular sealing board 7 is not specifically limited, For example, it can select suitably from the metal which has heat conductivity, such as aluminum, iron, copper, or these alloys. The thickness and shape of the base portion 7B are not particularly limited, and those appropriately changed according to the sealing device can be suitably used.

The seal portion 7A is not particularly limited, but can be appropriately changed according to the flange shape of a target container, such as a circular shape, an elliptical shape, a polygonal shape, a gourd shape, and a tear shape.
The seal portion 7A is provided with a flat surface portion 7A1, which is a plane parallel to the upper surface of the flange portion 25, on the inner peripheral side. The flat surface portion 7A1 is continuous with the flat surface portion 7A1 toward the outer peripheral side. A spacing portion 7A2 that is inclined in a direction away from the upper surface of the flange portion 25 is provided. In addition, although the convex curved surface 7A3 by the R process for chamfering is provided in the inner periphery of plane part 7A1, it does not need to provide.

Among these, in the separation portion 7A2 formed on the outer peripheral edge side of the annular seal disc 7, an inclination angle that is formed from the inner peripheral edge toward the outer peripheral edge with respect to the upper surface of the flange portion 25, that is, the heat-sealed surface 26A. The angle (θ) of the separating portion 7A2 with respect to the horizontal plane varies depending on the distance H, which is the width of the annular seal disc 7, but is 2 ° to 20 °, preferably 3 ° to 15 °, more preferably 6 ° to 12 °. It is preferable to set it to be less than °.
And the angle of the separating portion 7A2 2 ° less, even when pressing the sealing portion 7 A during heat sealing, the distance between the spaced apart portions 7A 2 and the heat seal surface 2 6A is not sufficient, the plane portion without delay to 7A 1, pressed at about the same time separating portion 7A 2 is the heat seal surface 2 6A, it may be impossible to flow the resin in the heat-sealed portion 2 6 corresponding to the separated portion 7A 2. On the other hand, if the angle of the separating portion 7A2 exceeds 20 °, the periphery of the boundary with the flat surface portion 7A1 is gently pointed, and the lid 3 may be cut at the time of sealing or opening. May be damaged.

The spacing portion 7A2 is preferably formed with a width of 0.2H or more and 0.8H or less, and more preferably 0.4H or more and 0.6H or less with respect to the width H of the cross section of the seal portion 7A. If the width of the separation portion 7A2 is smaller than 0.2H, the amount of resin that is pressed by the flat portion 7A1 and flows to the outer peripheral side increases, and the width of the separation portion 7A2 that comes into contact with the flat portion 7A1 is too narrow. It becomes difficult to gently move the resin to the heat seal portion 26 corresponding to the separation portion 7A2. As a result, a resin reservoir is easily formed in the vicinity of the outer peripheral edge of the heat seal portion 26, the resin reservoir is caught when the obtained easily openable container 1 is opened, and the resistance increases outside the heat seal portion 26, It may be difficult to smoothly open the easy-open container 1. Further, when the width of the separation portion 7A2 is larger than 0.8H, the width of the flat portion 7A1 parallel to the heat seal surface 26A becomes narrow, and the heat seal surface 26A cannot be sufficiently pressed, and the container body 2 and the lid There is a risk that heat sealing with the body 3 is not sufficient, and the sealing performance of the easy-open container 1 is insufficient. Further, since the separation distance between the outer peripheral end of the separation portion 7A2 and the heat-sealed surface 26A is increased, if the heat sealing is attempted to the position corresponding to the outer peripheral end, the pressing force at the flat portion 7A1 becomes too strong, and the container body 2 Or the lid 3 may be damaged.
The width H is not particularly limited, and for example, 0.8 mm to 3.0 mm, more preferably 0.9 mm to 2.5 mm, and particularly preferably 1 mm to 2 mm are preferably used.

  Further, the R processing applied to the convex curved surface 7A3 formed on the inner peripheral edge side of the annular seal disc 7 varies depending on the width H of the annular seal disc 7, but the periphery of the boundary with the flat surface portion 7A1 is gentle without being sharp. R processing that is so-called chamfering that the lid 3 is not cut at the time of sealing or opening is preferable.

Furthermore, in the said embodiment, the base material layer 12 (surface lower layer 22) is formed using the resin composition mix | blended by PP: PE = 30 mass% or more and 99 mass% or less: 1 mass% or more and 70 mass% or less. ing.
For this reason, the value of the loss tangent tan δ at 165 ° C. of the material constituting the base material layer 12 (the lower surface layer 22) can be easily made less than 0.18.

And the container main body 2 is formed using the multilayer sheet 10 which has the base material layer 12 (surface lower layer 22) of predetermined loss tangent tan-delta.
For this reason, the easy-open container 1 which can obtain favorable delamination and high sealing performance can be provided.

In addition, the container body 2 made of the multilayer sheet 10 has a flange portion 25 that protrudes outward from the periphery of the opening 24 for storing an object to be packaged.
For this reason, when unsealing the lid 3 sealed on the flange portion 25, for example, the surface layer 11 (peeling layer 21) and the base material layer 12 (surface lower layer 22) can be delaminated well, and high An easily openable container 1 that can provide sealing performance can be provided.

Further, a notch 27 is provided in the surface layer 11 of the flange portion 25 so as to surround the opening 24.
For this reason, for example, when the lid 3 sealed by the flange portion 25 is opened, after the surface layer 11 (peeling layer 21) and the base material layer 12 (surface lower layer 22) are delaminated well, the notch 27, the opening 3 can be satisfactorily opened by peeling between the lid 3 and the surface layer 11 (peeling layer 21).

Further, the depth of the notch 27 is at least equal to or greater than the thickness dimension of the release layer 21 formed from the surface layer 11.
For this reason, when the sealed lid 3 is opened, the delamination layer 21 is delaminated between the upper and lower layers 22, and then the delamination of the delamination layer 21 is reliably released on the opening 24 side by the notch 27. Thus, the opening 3 can be reliably unsealed by peeling between the lid 3 and the peeling layer 21.

And the shape of the container main body 2 is made into tray shape.
For this reason, heat sealing can be performed using a general apparatus.

And the like.

Here, the surface layer 11 is a layer heat-sealed with another film or the like. For example, when the multilayer structure (multilayer sheet 10) of the present invention is formed into the shape of the container body 2, the surface layer 11 is in contact with the contents. It becomes a layer to be heat sealed with the sealant of the lid 3. And like the opening of the easy-open container 1 described above, the lid 3 and the heat-sealed portion are peeled from the container body 2 together with the lid 3.
The base material layer 12 constitutes a lower layer of the surface layer 11. For example, when the container body 2 molded using the multilayer structure of the present invention is heat-sealed with the lid body 3 and the lid body 3 is opened. In addition, it is a layer that delaminates between the surface layer 11 and is a main layer of the multilayer structure (multilayer sheet 10), and the upper and lower layers 22 of the container body 2 formed using the multilayer structure of the invention. It is a layer that constitutes. In addition, the base material layer 12 does not need to function as a main layer, when the following 2nd base material layers are laminated | stacked.
Furthermore, the second base material layer is provided as a main layer of the multilayer structure (multilayer sheet 10), and is a layer that is a main component of the container body 2 formed using the multilayer structure of the present invention, for example. .

  The adhesive layer is a layer that bonds the second base material layer and the barrier layer. For example, urethane elastomer, styrene elastomer, maleic anhydride modified polyethylene, maleic anhydride modified polypropylene, ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA). A material such as can be suitably used. The thickness of the adhesive layer is preferably 10 μm or more and 50 μm or less, and more preferably 20 μm or more and 40 μm or less.

  Further, the barrier layer is a layer using a resin that blocks oxygen, and by providing the barrier layer, a multilayer structure (multilayer sheet 10) having an oxygen permeation blocking property can be provided. As the barrier layer, for example, materials such as ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC), and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) can be suitably used. The layer thickness of the barrier layer is preferably 10 μm or more and 210 μm or less, and more preferably 20 μm or more and 170 μm or less.

  The outer surface layer as the fourth base material layer is made of a material that is compatible with the adjacent layers. For example, the outer surface layer is formed on the outer surface of the container body 2 of the easy-open container 1 formed using the multilayer structure of the present invention. In the facing layer, the same material as that used in the base material layer 12, the second base material layer, or the surface layer can be suitably used. Further, a material different from the material used for the base material layer 12, the second base material layer, or the surface layer 11 may be used.

As in the structures (c) to (h) above, a plurality of layers may be repeatedly provided in the layer structure. Among these, the structure (h), which is a cross-sectional target structure, is preferable for the reason of film formation stability.
In addition, in the laminated structure as said (h), it can utilize as a container and a bag which accommodates various articles | goods, such as foodstuffs, a pharmaceutical, and an industrial article favorably.
Similarly, not only the layer configuration of the lid 3 (outer layer 32 / sealing layer 31) but also the configuration of the outer layer 32 / barrier layer / sealing layer 31, or the first outer layer 32 / second outer layer 32 / sealing layer 31 and the like. It is done.

  And although the multilayer sheet 10 was shape | molded and demonstrated to the tray shape as the container main body 2, you may shape | mold to cup shape and other shapes. Moreover, you may shape | mold not only the case where the container main body 2 is shape | molded from the multilayer sheet 10, but various processed materials.

Further, when the lid 3 is fused, the annular seal disk 7 having the seal portion 7A having a predetermined shape is used. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration, and a generally used seal disk may be used.
In addition, the specific structure, shape, and the like in the implementation of the present invention may be other structures as long as the object of the present invention can be achieved.

(Openability)
The corner of the lid 3 of the easy-open container 1 having the above shape was gripped with a chuck, and the opening strength when the lid 3 was pulled at an angle of 45 ° with the top surface of the lid 3 was measured. For the measurement of the opening strength, a digital force gauge manufactured by Imada Co., Ltd. was used. The measurement was carried out five times, the average value was calculated, and evaluated in the following two stages.
A: Opening strength is 4.9 N or more and less than 9.8 N (0.5 kgf / opening port or more and 1.0 kgf / opening port or less)
○: Opening strength is 9.8 N to 14.7 N (1.0 kgf / opening port to 1.5 kgf / opening port)
X: Opening strength is greater than 14.7N

(Internal pressure strength)
Pressurized air was injected into the easy-open container at 1.0 ± 0.2 liter / min, and the pressure (MPa) when the container burst was measured. The test was performed with n = 5 using a burst strength tester (manufactured by Sun Kagaku Co., Ltd.). The internal pressure strength was evaluated in the following four stages.
A: The internal pressure strength is very high. (0.100 MPa or more)
○: Internal pressure strength is high. (0.060 MPa to 0.099 MPa)
Δ: The internal pressure strength is slightly low. (0.030 to 0.059 MPa)
X: The internal pressure strength is low. (Less than 0.03 MPa)
