Recycling-friendly, easily tearable packaging laminate with good barrier properties and process for its production
The present invention relates to a packaging laminate with a first laminate layer and a second laminate layer, the first laminate layer comprising a barrier layer, and to a method for producing such a packaging laminate.
Packaging laminates are used in the packaging industry, which should have different properties depending on the application. Such packaging laminates are usually multilayer plastic films that are produced in the extrusion process, co-extrusion process (in both cases both in the flat film and in the blown film process) or lamination process (connection of individual layers by means of a lamination adhesive), and also mixtures thereof. Layers not made of plastic can also be integrated in the packaging laminate, for example a layer made of aluminum or paper. The packaging laminate generally also has an outer sealing layer in order to heat seal the packaging laminate to a desired packaging, such as e.g. a bag, a sack, a bag, etc. to process. In another application, a packaging laminate can also be designed as a shrink film which, depending on the application, can also be in a sealable but unprinted version, e.g. for the packaging of larger portions of meat.
A typical requirement for a packaging laminate is a barrier function against water vapor, oxygen and aroma. For this purpose, the packaging laminate generally contains a barrier layer made of aluminum or a suitable barrier polymer, such as, for example, ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH) or polyamide (PA). In addition, further layers can be included in order to give the packaging laminate the desired properties, such as toughness, rigidity, shrinkability, tear resistance, etc. A sealing layer is typically made of a polyolefin, usually polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE) in the different densities LLDPE, LDPE, MDPE or HDPE.
In order to be able to process the packaging laminate easily, the packaging laminate must of course not be thrown or curled (so-called curling), which is why symmetrical layer structures are usually used.
It is also known to change the properties of the packaging laminate by mono or biaxial orientation. Such orientation can take place through the extrusion process, for example in a multiple bubble process, or only after the extrusion process by stretching the packaging laminate in the machine direction (in the longitudinal direction of the packaging laminate) and / or in the transverse direction (normal to the longitudinal direction) , The orientation of the packaging laminate can above all improve the rigidity, tensile strength and toughness. Furthermore, the orientation enables the shrinking properties of the packaging laminate to be achieved, that even rather cloudy materials such as e.g. HDPE, achieve greater transparency after stretching.
WO 2013/032932 A1 describes such a packaging laminate, for example with the structure HDPE / connecting layer / EVOH / connecting layer / sealing layer, as a shrink film. The packaging laminate as a whole is stretched biaxially to produce the shrinkage property. However, stretching can only be carried out after the individual layers of the packaging laminate have achieved sufficient bond strength. WO 2009/017588 A1 shows something similar. However, WO 2013/032932 A1 and WO 2009/017588 A1 primarily aim at a suitable material for the connection layer.
Also from EP 673 759 B1 is a packaging laminate for a shrink film, with a barrier layer made of EVOH and at least one further polymer layer, which should be compatible with the barrier layer in terms of stretching properties. An anhydride-modified linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) is mentioned as an example of the further polymer layer.
WO 2015/175871 A1 in turn describes a packaging laminate made of an HDPE layer which is connected to a barrier layer, for example made of PA, vinyl-containing or acrylate-containing polymers. Furthermore, a sealing layer, for example made of LLDPE, can also be arranged on the barrier layer. The goal is to produce a recyclable laminate in which the barrier layer makes up a maximum of 5% of the total weight of the packaging laminate. The packaging laminate of WO 2015/175871 A1 is not oriented.
In many packaging made from a packaging laminate, it is also desirable to be able to easily tear the packaging by hand, especially for easy opening of the packaging. Here it is e.g. It is known from WO 2005/113370A1 that a unidirectionally stretched film can be torn more easily parallel to the stretching direction than transversely thereto, and that such a film can also be torn parallel to the stretching direction compared to an unstretched or bidirectionally stretched film, even with reduced tear strength. Such a film can also be part of a laminate, which can also comprise a barrier layer made of aluminum or EVOH. The unidirectionally stretched film gives the laminate the good tear properties parallel to the stretching direction and essentially prevents tearing across it.
EP 1 769 908 A1 in turn describes that a laminate made of a barrier layer (eg made of EVOH) and a plastic layer on both sides can be easily torn in both directions if the plastic layer consists of a mixture of PE with a density between 0.910 g / cm3 and 0.960 g / cm3 (ie LDPE, MDPE or HDPE) and a polycyclic olefin, such as a cycloolefin copolymer (COC), and the laminate is subjected to a low bidirectional stretch. Such low bidirectional stretching occurs, for example, in the case of extrusion using the blown film process, with which a separate step of orienting the laminate after the extrusion can be omitted. However, due to the proportion of COC, such a laminate can only be recycled to a limited extent and is also more complex to manufacture than a single-grade material.
It is an object of the subject invention to provide a recyclable packaging laminate which is easy to manufacture and which is easily tearable in both directions. It is also an object to specify a manufacturing process for such a packaging laminate.
This object is achieved by co-extruding a first laminate layer consisting of a substrate layer with an HDPE content of at least 60% by volume, a connecting layer and a barrier layer made of a barrier polymer, preferably made of polyamide or ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, with a maximum thickness 20% of the total thickness of the first laminate layer, the connection layer being arranged between the substrate layer and the barrier layer, the subsequent stretching of the co-extruded first laminate layer in the machine direction, and the subsequent joining of the thus stretched first laminate layer to a second laminate layer with a polyethylene component of at least 80% by volume, the second laminate layer being connected to the barrier layer of the first laminate layer. The packaging laminate according to the invention comprises a first laminate layer and a second laminate layer, the first laminate layer being a co-extruded and machine-oriented composite of a substrate layer with an HDPE content of at least 60% by volume, a connecting layer and a barrier layer made of a barrier polymer, preferably made of polyamide or Ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, with a maximum thickness of 20% of the total thickness of the first laminate layer, wherein the connecting layer is arranged between the substrate layer and the barrier layer and the first laminate layer is connected at its barrier layer to the second laminate layer.
The unidirectional stretching of the first laminate layer before lamination with the second laminate layer significantly increases the barrier effect of the first laminate layer. In addition, it was surprisingly found that the first laminate layer with the defined structure can be torn equally easily in both directions by the unidirectional stretching. These tear properties are imprinted on the packaging laminate so that the packaging laminate itself can also be easily torn in both directions. In addition, the production is simplified considerably by the simple, asymmetrical structure and the only unidirectional stretching of the first laminate layer compared to conventional symmetrical, bidirectional structures, which also significantly reduces the production costs.
A machine stretched (MDO) layer with a high HDPE content, especially if the HDPE content is greater than 80% and above, tends to splic in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, in PE packaging laminates, such MDO layers with a high HDPE content have always been combined with the tougher LLDPE or mLLDPE, for example with another layer of LLDPE, with a high LLDPE content in the packaging laminate being aimed for. It has now also surprisingly been found that the first laminate layer with such a high HDPE content (even against 100% HDPE) is sufficiently tough even without such a tough LLDPE layer and does not tend to splicing. The reason for this lies in the connection layer, which gives the laminate layer the required toughness. The first laminate layer can therefore advantageously also be used as a barrier film.
Due to the good transparency of the stretched HDPE substrate layer, the optical properties of the packaging laminate can be improved if the first laminate layer is printed, metallized or coated on the barrier layer before being connected to the second laminate layer. The barrier effect can also be increased by metallizing or coating. For certain applications, it is advantageous if the first laminate layer on the substrate layer is connected to a further single or multilayer laminate layer. The first laminate layer can be printed, metallized or coated on the barrier layer and / or on the substrate layer. Likewise, at least one layer of the further laminate layer can be printed, metallized or coated. For certain applications, it is advantageous if the first laminate layer is connected at its substrate layer to a unidirectionally oriented fourth laminate layer, which has a substrate layer with an HDPE content of at least 60% by volume, a barrier layer made of a barrier polymer and a connecting layer arranged between them. Such a packaging laminate has particularly good barrier properties.
A further advantageous embodiment results if the second laminate layer is a co-extruded, machine-oriented laminate from a substrate layer with an HDPE content of at least 60% by volume, preferably at least 70% by volume and very particularly preferably at least 80% by volume, of a connecting layer , a barrier layer of a barrier polymer, preferably of polyamide or ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer, with a thickness of at most 20% of the total thickness of the second laminate layer and a sealing layer, the connecting layer of the second laminate layer being arranged between the substrate layer and the barrier layer of the second laminate layer and the sealing layer is arranged on the substrate layer and the barrier layer of the second laminate layer is connected to the barrier layer of the first laminate layer. Such a packaging laminate also has particularly good barrier properties. In addition, this advantageously integrates the sealing layer into the co-extruded second laminate layer, so that no further manufacturing steps for the packaging laminate are required.
The present invention is explained in more detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5, which show exemplary, schematic and non-limiting advantageous embodiments of the invention. It shows
1 shows a first embodiment of a packaging laminate according to the invention,
2 shows a second advantageous embodiment of a packaging laminate according to the invention,
3 shows a third advantageous embodiment of a packaging laminate according to the invention,
4 shows a fourth advantageous embodiment of a packaging laminate according to the invention
5 shows an embodiment of a first laminate layer as a symmetrical barrier film.
1 shows a packaging laminate 1 according to the invention with a first laminate layer 2 and a second laminate layer 3 connected to it.
The first laminate layer 2 in the packaging laminate 1 is stretched in the machine direction (MDO) and has an asymmetrical layer structure with a substrate layer 4 and a barrier layer 6, which are connected to one another by a connecting layer 5. The thickness of the first laminate layer 2 is preferably 10 to 40 μm.
The substrate layer 4 has a proportion of high density polyethylene (PE) (HDPE) of at least 60% by volume, preferably at least 70% by volume and very particularly preferably at least 80% by volume. The HDPE content can go up to 100 vol%, whereby 100 vol% is generally never reached due to conventional additives (such as slip additives, antiblock additives, fillers, etc.). An HDPE means a PE with a density between 0.94-0.97 g / cm3. The rest is a compatible polyolefin material, preferably a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) (with a density between 0.87-0.94 g / cm3), a low density polyethylene (LDPE) (with a density between 0.915-0.935 g) / cm3) or a linear metallocene low density polyethylene (mLLDPE), especially to increase toughness. The HDPE and the compatible polyolefin material can be present in the substrate layer 4 as a mixture. However, the substrate layer 4 can also be constructed in multiple layers (extruded or co-extruded) with one (or also several) HDPE layers and one (or also several) layers made of the polyolefin material. The thickness of the substrate layer 4 is preferably 5 to 35 μm.
The barrier layer 6 consists of a barrier polymer, that is to say a polymer with sufficient barrier properties, in particular against oxygen, hydrogen and / or aroma. The barrier polymer is preferably a polyamide (PA) or an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH). EVOH is preferred as a barrier polymer. The barrier layer 6 has a maximum thickness of 20%, preferably 5 to 10%, of the total thickness of the first laminate layer 2, that is to say a maximum of 2 to 8 μm. The low thickness of the barrier layer 6 does not impair the ease of recycling.
The connecting layer 5 serves to connect the barrier layer 6 and the substrate layer 4. Sufficient bond adhesion is to be achieved here, in particular in order to reliably prevent undesired delamination of the first laminate layer 2. Suitable connecting layers 5 preferably consist of polymers with increased polarity, for example based on polyolefins modified with maleic anhydride (such as PE or PP), ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), ethylene / acrylic acid copolymer (EAA), ethylene-butyl acrylate copolymer ( EBA), or similar polyolefin copolymers. The thickness of a connecting layer 5 is at most 10% of the total thickness of the first laminate layer 2, typically 1 to 5 μm.
The second laminate layer 3 consists predominantly of a PE, the PE portion of the total polymer amount of the second laminate layer 3 without any added mineral or other fillers should be at least 80% by volume. Various types of PE, i.e. LDPE, LLDPE, MDPE, HDPE, can be used here as single types or as a mixture or in the form of copolymers or even in multiple layers. Depending on the application of packaging laminate 1, the thickness of second laminate layer 3 is typically between 20 up to 200 μm.
By using predominantly PE and compatible materials in packaging laminate 1, a particularly recycling-friendly laminate can be produced, which can be easily and inexpensively recycled using conventional methods in mechanical recycling.
The first laminate layer 2 is produced by co-extrusion because this enables particularly simple, inexpensive production. The known blown film or flat film extrusion process is preferably used.
After the co-extrusion, the first laminate layer 2 is stretched exclusively in the machine direction (generally the longitudinal or extrusion direction). The degree of stretching is preferably at least 4: 1 in the machine direction. The stretching can be done in-line (i.e. immediately after the co-extrusion) or off-line (i.e. at a later time after the co-extrusion). Unidirectional stretching can be performed much more easily and inexpensively than bidirectional stretching, which can reduce manufacturing costs.
It should be noted here that in the case of blown film extrusion and flat film extrusion, the extrusion gap (with the blown film 1.5 to 2.5 mm) or. the gap of the extrusion nozzle is significantly larger than the final thickness of the extruded film (typically between 10 to 200 μm). For this purpose, the extruded melt is stretched at temperatures well above the melting point of the extruded polymer, which gives it the final thickness. In blown film extrusion, the melt is e.g. typically stretched in the transverse direction by approx. a factor of 2 to 3 (the so-called inflation ratio) and in the longitudinal direction by a factor of 1:10 to 1: 100 (the so-called deduction ratio). This stretching during extrusion cannot, however, be compared to stretching a plastic film, since the stretching usually takes place at temperatures just below the melting point of the polymer in order to permanently align the disordered polymers and the partially crystalline regions by stretching in the stretching direction.
An asymmetrical structure of the first laminate layer 2 with an orientation in the machine direction is atypical and has previously been avoided in practice, in particular in the case of the blown film, since it was assumed that such a structure would curl, in particular due to the water absorption of the polar barrier layer 6 (curling). , which would make further processing difficult or impossible. However, it has been shown that the curling up takes place to an acceptable extent in the concrete design of the structure, which does not hinder further processing. For this purpose, it is advantageous if the first laminate layer 2 is connected to the second laminate layer 3 very soon after production, in order thereby to reduce the water absorption of the barrier layer 6 in particular. Under certain circumstances, it may also be necessary or sensible to protect the co-extruded film roll with the first laminate layer 2 bis for lamination by suitable packaging from water absorption.
The advantage of the atypical asymmetrical structure of the first laminate layer 2 lies primarily in the fact that only a single, expensive and less rigid connection layer 5 is required. The costs for the first laminate layer 2 can thus be reduced and a more rigid first laminate layer 2 can be achieved. The higher rigidity is particularly advantageous when using the packaging laminate 1 to produce a bag.
Further advantages of the first laminate layer 2 according to the invention result from the stretching. This results in a high level of transparency, especially of the substrate layer 4. By stretching the barrier layer, barrier values which are approximately three to four times higher than those of the unstretched, similar barrier polymer are achieved, as a result of which less expensive barrier polymer can be used with the same barrier effect. As a result, the costs of the first laminate layer 2 can be significantly reduced.
It has furthermore surprisingly been found that such a first laminate layer 2 can easily be torn by hand in spite of the orientation only in the machine direction in both directions, that is to say in the machine direction and also transversely thereto, without the film being stretched inadmissibly in the transverse direction if it tears becomes.
The first laminate layer 2 is preferably produced using the blown film extrusion process, because this results in less edge section due to production, which leads to lower costs for the packaging laminate 1, particularly in the case of the more expensive barrier polymers. Blown film extrusion can also use more viscous HDPE materials with an MFI (Mass Flow Index) of less than 3. Such HDPE materials have a higher molecular weight and better mechanical properties, which is favorable for use in a packaging laminate 1. However, such a material would tear particularly easily in the longitudinal direction and even undesirable splicing occurs in the longitudinal direction. This undesirable property can be eliminated by incorporating the HDPE material with an MFI of less than 3 in a first laminate layer 2 as described and even uniform tearing in both directions can be achieved.
A first laminate layer 2 stretched in the machine direction, with a substrate layer 4, a barrier layer 6 and a connecting layer 5 as stated, also tends in spite of the high HDPE content of 60% by volume, in particular also in the case of very high HDPE contents of greater than 80% by volume. up to 100 vol%, not for longitudinal splicing, as was surprisingly found. This effect occurs both with an asymmetrical structure of the first laminate layer 2 and with a symmetrical structure of the first laminate layer 2. This determined effect is demonstrated for a first laminate layer 2 as a barrier film using the following examples in Table 1.
Table 1
Table 1 shows the tensile strength in the longitudinal direction (MD) and transverse direction (TD) in N / 15 mm and measured in accordance with ASTM D882, the elongation at break in the longitudinal direction (MD) and transverse direction (TD) in% and measured in accordance with ASTM D882 and the tear resistance in the longitudinal direction (MD) and transverse direction (TD) in N and measured according to DIN EN ISO 6383-1. The thickness is the total thickness of the respective film and is given in μm.
The film A in Table 1 is an MDO HDPE monofilm with 10 vol% mLLDPE. The film A is constructed as a five-layer coextrusion film with 10% by volume mLLDPE in all five layers of the same thickness (structure 1/1/1/1/1). The stretching ratio in the machine direction is 6: 1. Such a film 1 tends to splice in the longitudinal direction, which is particularly evident from the very low tensile strength and elongation at break in the transverse direction. The tear resistance in the longitudinal direction is also significantly lower than in the other comparison films in Table 1, which is also an indication of the tendency to splice in the longitudinal direction.
The film is also a five-layer coextrudate with a film structure of 95% HDPE + 5% LLDPE / 100% HDPE / 60% HDPE + 40% LLDPE / 100% HDPE / 100% HDPE. The stretching ratio in the machine direction is 6: 1. As a rule, a tough component (LLDPE) was added in higher proportions (40%) to at least one layer in film B in order to reduce the tendency to splice. This is evident from the higher tensile strength in the transverse direction, the elongation at break in the transverse direction (TD) and the tear strength in the longitudinal direction compared to film A.
The better effect is achieved with a barrier film C. The barrier film C is a five-layer coextrudate with a film structure of 95% HDPE + 5% LLDPE / 100% HDPE / 60% HDPE + 40% LLDPE / connecting layer 5 / EVOH barrier layer 6. The stretch ratio of the co-extruded barrier film 3 in the machine direction is 5: 1. The substrate layer 4 has three layers (layer thicknesses 4 μm / 4 μm / 8 μm) with an HDPE content of ~ 78% vol% in the substrate layer 4. The connection layer 5 is 2 μm in the barrier film C, that is to say 10% of the total thickness, and the barrier layer 5 also 2 μm, that is 10% of the total thickness. This results in a 2/2/4/1/1 structure of the barrier film C. The connection layer 5 gives the barrier film C sufficient toughness to significantly reduce the tendency to splice in the longitudinal direction. This can be seen from the significantly higher values of elongation at break in the transverse direction (TD) and tear resistance in the longitudinal direction. The tensile strength in the transverse direction is comparable to film B.
It was particularly surprising that it makes almost no difference for this effect if the HDPE content in the substrate layer 4 is increased further, which is shown by the barrier film D. The barrier film D is a five-layer coextrudate with a film structure of 95% HDPE + 5% LLDPE / 100% HDPE / 100% HDPE / connecting layer 5 / EVOH barrier layer 6. The low LLDPE content in the outermost layer primarily serves to improve the surface properties of the Modify barrier film D to improve the processing properties. The stretching ratio in the machine direction is again 5: 1. The
The substrate layer 4 is three-layer (layer thickness 4 μm / 4 μm / 8 μm) with an HDPE content of ~ 97% vol% in the substrate layer 4. The connection layer 5 is 2 μm in the barrier film D, that is 10% of the total thickness, and the barrier layer 5 is also 2 μm, that is 10% of the total thickness. This results in a 2/2/4/1/1 structure of the barrier film D. In the barrier film D, the tear behavior in the longitudinal and transverse directions is even particularly uniform.
Only asymmetrical film structures of MDO barrier film 11 are described in Table 1. For the first laminate layer 2 used as an inventive barrier film 11, however, symmetrical structures are also possible (as shown in FIG. 5), for example in the form of substrate layer 4 made of 100% by volume HDPE / connecting layer 4 / EVOH barrier layer 6 / connecting layer 4 / Substrate layer 5 made of 100 vol% HDPE. A lower mLLDPE or LLDPE portion (for example 5 to 10% by volume) could also be mixed in one (or both) of the substrate layers 4, preferably in one of the outermost layers, in order to modify the processing properties. In such a symmetrical structure, the two outer substrate layers 4 can also be made thicker than the inner layers, for example in the form of an x / 1/1/1 / x, structure with x> 1, in particular x = 1.5, 2, 3 or 4.
Such a first laminate layer 2 alone as a barrier film 11 is also considered inventive and is characterized in particular by at least one substrate layer 4 which has an HDPE content of at least 60% by volume, preferably at least 80% by volume, and which has a connecting layer 5 as described above is connected to a barrier layer 6 as described above. The substrate layer 4 can also be constructed in multiple layers. In addition, the barrier layer 6 can be connected to a further substrate layer 4 as described above for a symmetrical structure by means of a further connection layer 5 as described above. Such a barrier film 11 is produced by coextrusion and subsequent stretching in the machine direction. The degree of stretching is preferably at least 4: 1 in the machine direction. The stretching can take place inline (i.e. immediately after the co-extrusion) or off-line (i.e. at a later time after the co-extrusion). For the production of the packaging laminate 1, the stretched first laminate layer 2 and the second laminate layer 3 are connected to one another, preferably by extrusion lamination, extrusion coating or adhesive lamination, the second laminate layer 3 being connected to the barrier layer 6 of the first laminate layer 2. In the case of the extrusion coating, the second laminate layer 3 is extruded onto the barrier layer 6 of the first laminate layer 2, an adhesion promoter preferably also being provided in between. During lamination, the second laminate layer 3 is connected to the barrier layer 6 by means of a suitable lamination adhesive, for example based on polyurethane adhesives or also polyolefin copolymers in the case of extrusion lamination. The thickness of the
Laminating adhesive is preferably 2 to 5 g / m2 for conventional polyurethane-based adhesives or 5 to 20 g / m2 for extrusion lamination.
With suitable second laminate layers 3, it has been found that the entire packaging laminate 1 also assumes the tear properties of the first laminate layer 2, i.e. that the packaging laminate 1 is equally easy to tear by hand in both directions. The first laminate layer 2 thus imparts the tear properties to the packaging laminate 1.
The second laminate layer 3 preferably forms a sealing layer 7, which in a packaging made of the packaging laminate 1 usually faces the packaged product. The packaging is produced by cutting, folding and thermosealing the packaging laminate 1. Possible packaging is bags, pouches, sacks, etc.
The second laminate layer 3 can also be of multi-layer construction, for example extruded or co-extruded, as indicated in FIG. 2 and described in detail below. The second laminate layer 3 can, however, also be equipped with a barrier function and can also be stretched, as indicated in FIG. 4 and described in detail below.
In a further embodiment of the packaging laminate 1, as shown in FIG. 2, the first laminate layer 2 on the side of the barrier layer 6 is connected to the second laminate layer 3 and on the side of the substrate layer 4 with a further laminate layer 10, here a third laminate layer 8 The third laminate layer 8 is preferably a single-layer or multilayer polymer film, for example a film made predominantly of PE (at least 80% by volume PE), as described with reference to the second laminate layer 3. The third laminate layer 8 can again be either extrusion-coated or adhesive-laminated onto the first laminate layer 2, as explained with reference to the sealing layer 7 in FIG. Such a packaging laminate 1 according to FIG. 2 can be used, for example, for the production of tubes. In this case, the thickness of the second laminate layer 3 and the third laminate layer 8 is typically in the range of 150 μm.
In FIG. 2 it is also indicated that the second laminate layer 3 can also have a multilayer structure, here for example with two layers 7a, 7b, which form the sealing layer 7. The same applies to the third laminate layer 8. Such a construction of the second laminate layer 3 can of course also be provided in an embodiment according to FIG.
It is also possible to metallize and / or to print and / or coat (for example with aluminum oxide or silicon oxide) the stretched first laminate layer 2 after stretching on the barrier layer 6, before the first laminate layer 2 with the second La
minatschicht 3 is connected. It is preferably metallized with aluminum. The HDPE
Substrate layer 4 is sufficiently transparent, especially after stretching, so that the
Print image, the metallization or the coating through the substrate layer 4 is visible.
For the purpose of printing, the barrier layer 6 can also be subjected to a pretreatment of the surface to be printed, for example a corona or flame treatment, in order to improve the adhesion of the printing layer to the barrier layer 6. However, alternatively or additionally, the substrate layer 4 can also be printed, metallized or printed, both on the side facing the barrier layer 6 and on the other side, if appropriate again after a surface treatment. Common printing processes can be used here, for example a gravure printing process or a flexographic printing process.
The third laminate layer 8 could, in addition or as an alternative to the first laminate layer 2, be printed, metallized or coated on one or both sides.
In an advantageous embodiment of the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 2, the barrier layer 6 of the first laminate layer 2 is metallized, preferably with aluminum, in order to increase the barrier effect. In addition, the third laminate layer 8 could be printed on the outside.
3 shows a further exemplary embodiment of a packaging laminate 1 according to the invention, which can preferably be used for the production of tubes. Here, the first laminate layer 2 is connected to the barrier layer 6 as in the example in FIG. 1 with the second laminate layer 3. The first laminate layer 2 is connected at its substrate layer 4 to a further laminate layer 10, here a fourth laminate layer 2 ', which has the same structure as the first laminate layer 2 and which is also unidirectionally stretched. The fourth laminate layer 2 ″ thus again comprises a substrate layer 4 ″ which is connected to a connecting layer 5 ″ with a barrier layer 6 ″. Here, the barrier layer 6 'of the fourth laminate layer 2' is connected to the substrate layer 4 of the first laminate layer 2, preferably with a suitable laminating adhesive as described above. These layers of the fourth laminate layer 2 'are constructed and composed as already described above. The fourth laminate layer 2 'consists primarily of PE materials with at least 80% by volume of PE. However, the thicknesses and the exact compositions or materials of the individual layers of the first laminate layer 2 and the fourth laminate layer 2 ″ do not have to match.
In this embodiment too, the fourth laminate layer 2 ″ on the substrate layer 4 ″ and / or on the barrier layer 6 ″, in addition or as an alternative to the first laminate layer 2, can be printed, metallized or coated. In a particularly advantageous embodiment, the fourth laminate layer 2 ′ is printed, preferably on its barrier layer 6 ″, and the first laminate layer 2 is metallized, preferably on its barrier layer 6 or substrate layer 4. This can increase the barrier effect of the packaging laminate 1. However, a coating of aluminum oxide or silicon oxide can also be provided on the barrier layer 6 or substrate layer 4 of the first laminate layer 2 in order to further increase the barrier effect.
4 shows a further advantageous embodiment of the invention. Here, the second laminate layer 3 is again made of multiple layers and comprises a substrate layer 4 ″, barrier layer 6 ″ and a connecting layer 5 ″, similar to the first laminate layer 2. For these layers and also for the production of the second laminate layer 3 therein In the embodiment, the statements made above for FIGS. 1 to 3 for the first laminate layer 2 or fourth laminate layer 2 'apply analogously. In addition, the second laminate layer 3 in this embodiment comprises a sealing layer 7. The sealing layer 7 preferably consists of a PE material, such as, for example, mLLDPE, LLDPE, or of another suitable thermoplastic, for example polypropylene (PP). However, this second laminate layer 3 with the sealing layer 7 still applies that it consists of at least 80% by volume PE. The sealing layer 7 of the second laminate layer 3 is co-extruded with the other layers of the second laminate layer 3. The second laminate layer 3 of Figure 4 is stretched, like the first laminate layer 2 and as described above. In this embodiment, the sealing layer 7 is thus integrated in a multilayer, stretched barrier film which is constructed similarly to the first laminate layer 2. This second laminate layer 3 thus has essentially the same tear properties as the first laminate layer 2.
In this embodiment, the unidirectionally stretched first laminate layer 2 and the unidirectionally stretched wide laminate layer 3 are connected to one another at the abutting barrier layers 6, 6 ″, preferably by adhesive lamination using an adhesive layer 9. A suitable lamination adhesive is, for example, an adhesive based on polyurethane or a polyolefin copolymer. The thickness of the lamination layer 9 is preferably 2 to 5 g / m 2.
In this embodiment too, one (or even more) of the layers of the packaging laminate 1 can be printed, metallized or coated.
During the implementation, of course, a further laminate layer 10 (for example a third laminate layer 8 or fourth laminate layer 2 'as described above) could also be provided on the first laminate layer 2, as indicated in FIG. 4.
The packaging laminate 1 according to the invention thus has at least one asymmetrical, unidirectionally stretched, first laminate layer 2 made of at least 60% by volume HDPE with a substrate layer 4, a barrier layer 6 and a connecting layer 5 and a second laminate layer 3 connected therewith, which forms a sealing layer 7 a PE share of at least 80 vol%. On this packaging laminate 1, as described above, on the side of the first laminate layer 2 facing away from the second laminate layer 3, a further single or multi-layer laminate layer 10 (for example a third laminate layer 8 or fourth laminate layer 2 ') with a PE content of at least 80 Vol% be arranged. This further single or multi-layer laminate layer 10 is thus connected to the substrate layer 4 of the first laminate layer 2.
In a package made from a packaging laminate 1 according to the invention, the sealing layer 7 of the packaging laminate 1 advantageously faces the inside of the packaging.
By printing at least one layer of the first laminate layer 2, second laminate layer 3 or the further laminate layer 10 of a packaging laminate 1 according to the invention with a barrier lacquer, for example polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), the barrier effect of the packaging laminate 1 can also be further increased in this way. Such
Lacquer layers can be applied very thinly, typically in the range from 0.5 to 2.0 g / m2, and thus do not impair the recyclability of the packaging laminate 1.
In conclusion, it should be noted that each of the above-described layers in the first laminate layer 2, second laminate layer 3 or the further laminate layer 10 itself can also be constructed in multiple layers.
