DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a heat-resistant container, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing a heat-resistant container using a crystalline thermoplastic synthetic resin typified by polyethylene terephthalate. Polyester resins such as polyethylene terephthalate are strong, rigid, and have excellent gas barrier properties, making them useful as materials for thermoforming such as vacuum forming and pressure forming.
It depends on the glass transition temperature Tg of polyester (75°C in the case of polyethylene terephthalate), and when heated above Tg, deformation due to stress relaxation during molding, a so-called rebound phenomenon, occurs. It could not be used in applications that required heat sterilization, etc., and its application development was limited. In view of these circumstances, the present invention aims to improve the heat resistance of thermoplastic resin A, or a sheet made of thermoplastic resin A, or thermoplastic resin A and its melting point T nB or softening point T sB. A sheet made of a laminate with thermoplastic resin B having a low temperature is heated to a temperature above the glass transition temperature T gA and below the crystallization temperature T CA of thermoplastic resin A, and molded by a method such as vacuum, compressed air or hot press, Crystallization temperature of thermoplastic resin A T CA or higher while maintaining the molded shape Melting point T nA
This is a method for producing a heat-resistant container, which is characterized by heating and crystallizing as follows. The thermoplastic resin A sheet used in the present invention includes terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, phthalic acid,
1,4-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid, 2,5-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid, 2,6-naphthalene dicarboxylic acid, terephthalic acid substituted with methyl group, etc.
Aromatic dicarboxylic acids such as isophthalic acid, ethylene glycol, propanediol-1,3, propanediol-1,2, butanediol-1,3,
Hexanediol-1,6, trimethylhexanediol-1,6,2,2'-dimethyl bis-
(4'-Hydroxyethiocyphenyl) A condensation polyester with a diol such as propane, or a copolymer polyester consisting of the aromatic dicarboxylic acid and an aliphatic and/or cyclic diol, etc., and in principle has crystallinity. This is a polyester sheet that maintains its amorphous state by extruding it using a melt extrusion method and rapidly cooling it. The thermal properties of these thermoplastic resins A are measured by differential scanning calorimeter DSC or thermomechanical analysis TMA. Analysis of polyester resins by DSC and TMA is generally shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. The thermoplastic resin A begins to crystallize when heated to a certain temperature above the glass transition point T gA . This temperature is referred to as the crystallization temperature T CA in this specification (including the claims), and is shown in FIG.
As shown by Tc in FIG. 2, it is observed as an exothermic peak between T g and T n in DSC, and as a contraction peak between T g and T n in TMA. Thermoplastic resin A sheet can be used alone, but it may not be suitable when used as a sealed container by means such as a heat sheet, and polyolefins that can be heat-sealed such as polyethylene and polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, and polychloride. It is also possible to use a laminate of two or more layers laminated with other thermoplastic resin B sheets or films such as vinylidene, but the melting point T nB or softening point of thermoplastic resin B
T SB needs to be less than or equal to the melting point T nA of thermoplastic resin A. The heat-resistant container according to the present invention is produced by using such a thermoplastic resin A sheet or this laminate at a temperature of T gA or more T CA
It is heated to the following temperature and inserted into a molding die and molded by means such as vacuum or compressed air or hot press, while maintaining the molded shape . This is achieved by heating to a certain temperature to cause crystallization. The heat-resistant container obtained in this way does not undergo deformation due to the molded product returning as described above even when heated to a temperature higher than T gA .
When used as a packaging container for foods, etc., it has heat resistance that can withstand heat sterilization such as boil sterilization, retort sterilization using pressurized steam, heated water, etc., and has excellent strength, rigidity, and gas barrier properties. It will be very useful as a. The heating crystallization treatment of the molded container is achieved by heating the mold to a temperature of T CA or more and T nA or less. Examples of the present invention will be described below. Example 1 A polytetramethylene terephthalate resin was extruded from a T-shaped die onto a cooling roll using an extruder at a processing temperature of 300°C to obtain a rapidly cooled sheet having a thickness of 400 μm.
A part of this sheet was thermally analyzed by DSC, and the glass transition temperature was determined from the endothermic peak shown in Figure 1.
The measurement results were as follows: T gA 89°C Crystallization temperature T CA 128°C Melting point T nA 260°C. Next, this sheet 1 was molded using a molding machine shown in FIG. In the molding procedure, the sheet was heated in advance to a temperature of 110° C. by heater 2, inserted into mold 3, and pressure molded. At this time, the mold 3 was heated to 150° C. by heaters 4 embedded in both the upper and lower sides, and the molded sheet (container) was held in the mold 3 for 15 seconds and then taken out from the mold 3 to obtain a molded container. Example 2 Polyethylene terephthalate resin Example-1
A sheet with a thickness of 400μ was obtained by the same method as above, and a part of this sheet was thermally analyzed by DSC to find that the glass transition temperature T gA was 75℃, the crystallization temperature Tc was 130℃,
A melting point T nA of 258°C was obtained. Further, this sheet was laminated with a polypropylene film having a thickness of 60 μm using a dry laminator using a polyurethane adhesive to obtain a laminated sheet. The obtained laminated sheet was molded in the same manner as in Example-1 to obtain a molded container. Comparative Example 1 The polytetramethylene terephthalate sheet produced in Example 1 was molded by a known vacuum forming method to obtain a molded container. At this time, the sheet temperature was 120°C and the mold temperature was 12°C. Example 3 Molded containers obtained by the methods shown in the above Examples and Comparative Examples were soaked in hot water at 95°C for 60 minutes for 120 minutes.
The appearance of the container was evaluated after boiling and retort sterilization with heated steam at ℃ for 30 minutes, and the results are shown in Table 1. 【table】
