Description

用於將撓性配件密封至撓性膜之方法
本發明係關於一種用於在兩個撓性膜之間密封撓性配件之方法。
已知具有剛性傾倒口之撓性小袋，其用於儲存及遞送可流動材料，常常稱為「傾倒小袋(pour-pouch)」。諸多習知傾倒小袋利用剛性傾倒口，其中噴口之基底具有小翼。各小翼為垂直於基底之結構，各小翼自噴口之環形基底徑向延伸開去(沿相對方向)。小翼用於增加環形基底之表面面積，以便促進噴口與撓性包裝膜之間的黏著力。
然而，小翼存在問題，因為其需要專門的熱密封條以有效地將小翼密封至撓性膜包裝。專門的熱密封條需要與噴口基底及小翼之形狀配合之獨特形狀。另外，熱密封方法需要噴口與膜之間的精確及配合對準以確保噴口與膜取向平行對準。
如此，由於(1)專門的熱密封設備之費用，(2)精確密封條-小翼對準之生產停機時間，(3)精確噴口-膜對準所需的生產停機時間，(4)歸因於未對準之故障率(洩漏)及(5)在傾倒小袋生產之各階段所需的品質控制步驟，撓性 小袋之生產具有低效性。
本領域認識到傾倒小袋生產過程中需要替代方法。本領域進一步認識到需要避免具有小翼之噴口之生產缺點之改良的傾倒口。
本發明提供一改良的配件及傾倒小袋之伴隨改良的配件密封。本發明配件減少用於生產配件自身之材料量且亦簡化傾倒小袋生產方法。
本發明提供一種方法。在一實施例中，所述方法包含：A.提供具有一基底之一配件，所述基底包括一乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物；B.將所述基底放置在兩個相對多層膜之間，各多層膜具有一各別密封層，所述密封層包括一基於烯烴之聚合物；C.用相對經加熱之扁平密封條將所述基底扁平密封至各多層膜，所述扁平密封在扁平化基底末端處形成相對密封接頭；及D.用相對彎曲密封條點密封所述相對密封接頭。
本發明之一優勢為由乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物形成、實現薄壁基底之一配件。
本發明之一優勢為由乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物形成之一配件，其為基底提供足夠的完整性以經受住熱密封期間之壓縮及足夠的回彈性以在熱密封後彈回一打開位置。
本發明之一優勢為一種傾倒小袋生產方法，其不需要用於熱密封之精確的密封條-小翼對準。
本發明之一優勢為一用於傾倒小袋之配件，其利用與用於剛性傾倒口之習知小翼基底中所使用之聚合材料量相比更少的聚合材料。
本發明之一優勢為一種傾倒小袋生產方法，其相比於利用具有小翼之噴口之傾倒小袋生產方法，需要更短時間(更大效率)及更少故障(更高生產率)。
本發明之一優勢為一撓性配件，其具有回彈性以在熱密封期間完全收縮後彈回一打開位置，所述配件由與密封層聚烯烴相容之乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物製成。

A.配件
所述方法包含提供配件10。配件10具有基底12及頂部14，如圖1中所示。配件10可由一或多種(亦即摻合物)聚合材料製成。基底12含有乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物或以其他方式由乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物形成。基底12可由聚合摻合物製成，所述聚合摻合物由乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物及一或多種額外聚合物構成。用於與乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物摻合之適合的材料之非限制性實例包含低密度聚乙烯(LDPE)、線性低密度聚乙烯(LLDPE)、高密度聚乙烯(HDPE)、乙烯乙酸乙烯酯(EVA)、乙烯丙烯酸甲酯(EMA)、乙烯丙烯酸共聚物(EAA)、丙烯均聚物、丙烯共聚物、丙烯抗衝擊共聚物。
替代地，基底12僅由乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物製得。頂部14可包含適合的結構(諸如螺紋)以便與封閉件連接。
基底12具有橢圓形橫截面形狀。在一實施例中，基底12(預密封)之橫截面形狀為圓形或實質上圓形的。
在一實施例中，基底12排除剛性類型基底，諸如舟形基底及/或小翼型基底。
在一實施例中，基底僅由乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物構成或以其他方式僅由乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物形成。
在一實施例中，整個配件10(基底12及頂部14)僅由乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物構成或以其他方式僅由乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物形成。
在一實施例中，基底具有厚度為A之壁15，如圖2中所示。厚度A為0.3mm，或0.4mm，或0.5mm，或0.6mm，或0.7mm，或0.8mm，或0.9mm，或1.0mm至1.2mm，或1.5mm，或1.7mm，或1.9mm，或2.0mm。在另一實施例中，壁15僅由乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物構成且具有前述厚度A。
基底12(完全或部分)由乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物形成。術語「乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物」包含呈聚合形式之乙烯及一或多種可共聚α-烯烴共聚單體，其特徵為兩種或兩種以上化學或物理特性不同之聚合的單體單元之多個嵌段或鏈段。術語「乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物」包含具有兩個嵌段(二嵌段)及超過兩個嵌段(多嵌段)之嵌段共聚物。術語「互聚物」及「共聚物」在本文中可互換使用。當在共聚物中提及「乙烯」或「共聚單體」之量時，應理解此意謂其聚合單元。在一些實施例中，乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物可由下式表示：(AB)n
其中n是至少1，較佳為大於1之整數，諸如2、3、4、5、10、15、20、30、40、50、60、70、80、90、100或更大，「A」表示硬嵌段或鏈段且「B」表示軟嵌段或鏈段。較佳地，A及 B以與實質上分支鏈或實質上星形形式相反之實質上線性形式或線性方式連接或共價鍵結。在其他實施例中，A嵌段及B嵌段沿聚合物鏈無規分佈。換言之，嵌段共聚物通常並不具有如下結構：AAA-AA-BBB-BB
在另其他實施例中，嵌段共聚物通常並不具有包括不同共聚單體之第三種類型的嵌段。在又其他實施例中，嵌段A及嵌段B中之每一者具有實質上無規分佈在嵌段內之單體或共聚單體。換言之，嵌段A及嵌段B均不包括兩個或兩個以上具有獨特組成之子鏈段(或子嵌段)，諸如端部鏈段，其具有與嵌段之其餘部分實質上不同之組成。
較佳地，乙烯包括整個嵌段共聚物之大部分莫耳分數，亦即，乙烯包括至少整個聚合物之50莫耳%。更佳地，乙烯包括至少60莫耳%、至少70莫耳%或至少80莫耳%，其中整個聚合物之實質性其餘部分包括至少一種較佳為具有3個或更多個碳原子之α-烯烴的其他共聚單體。在一些實施例中，乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物可包括50mol%至90mol%乙烯，或60mol%至85mol%，或65mol%至80mol%。對於諸多乙烯/辛烯多嵌段共聚物，組合物包括大於整個聚合物之80莫耳%之乙烯含量及整個聚合物之10至15莫耳%，或15至20莫耳%之辛烯含量。
乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物包含不同量之「硬」鏈段及「軟」鏈段。「硬」鏈段為聚合單元之嵌段，其中乙烯以按至多100重量%之聚合物之重量計大於90重量%，或95重量%，或大於95重量%，或大於98重量%之量存在。換言之， 硬鏈段中之共聚單體含量(除乙烯外之單體含量)按聚合物之重量計小於10重量%，或5重量%，或小於5重量%，或小於2重量%且可低至零。在一些實施例中，硬鏈段包含衍生自乙烯之所有或實質上所有單元。「軟」鏈段為聚合單元之嵌段，其中共聚單體含量(除乙烯外之單體含量)按聚合物之重量計大於5重量%，或大於8重量%，大於10重量%，或大於15重量%。在一些實施例中，軟鏈段中之共聚單體含量可為大於20重量%，大於25重量%，大於30重量%，大於35重量%，大於40重量%，大於45重量%，大於50重量%，或大於60重量%，且可高達100重量%。
軟鏈段可以乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物之總重量之1重量%至99重量%，或乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物之總重量之5重量%至95重量%，10重量%至90重量%，15重量%至85重量%，20重量%至80重量%，25重量%至75重量%，30重量%至70重量%，35重量%至65重量%，40重量%至60重量%，或45重量%至55重量%存在於乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物中。相反地，硬鏈段可以類似範圍存在。軟鏈段重量百分比及硬鏈段重量百分比可基於獲自DSC或NMR之資料計算。此類方法及計算揭示於例如2006年3月15日以Colin L.P.Shan,Lonnie Hazlitt等人之名義申請且轉讓給陶氏全球技術公司(Dow Global Technologies Inc.)之標題為「乙烯/α-烯烴嵌段互聚物(Ethylene/α-Olefin Block Inter-polymers)」的美國專利第7,608,668號中，所述專利之揭示內容以全文引用之方式併入本文中。特定言之，可如US 7,608,668之第57欄至第63欄中所描述，測定硬鏈段及軟鏈段重量百分比及共 聚單體含量。
乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物為包括兩個或兩個以上較佳以線性方式接合(或共價鍵結)之化學上相異的區域或鏈段(稱為「嵌段」)之聚合物，亦即，包括相對於聚合烯系官能團端對端接合而非以側接或接枝形式接合之化學上經區分單元之聚合物。在一實施例中，所述嵌段在以下方面不同：所併入之共聚單體之量或類型、密度、結晶度、可歸因於此類組成之聚合物之微晶尺寸、立體異構性(等規或間規)之類型或程度、區域規則性或區域不規則性、支化量(包含長鏈支化或超支化)、均質性或任何其他化學或物理特性。相比於包含藉由連續單體添加、流變催化劑或陰離子聚合技術產生之互聚物之先前技術的嵌段互聚物，本發明乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物之特徵為兩種聚合物多分散性(PDI或Mw/Mn或MWD)之獨特分佈、多分散嵌段長度分佈及/或多分散嵌段數目分佈，其在一實施例中歸因於與用於其製備之多種催化劑組合之梭移劑之作用。
在一實施例中，乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物在連續方法中產生且具有1.7至3.5，或1.8至3，或1.8至2.5，或1.8至2.2之多分散指數(Mw/Mn)。當在分批或半分批方法中產生時，乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物具有1.0至3.5，或1.3至3，或1.4至2.5，或1.4至2之Mw/Mn。
另外，乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物具有擬合舒爾茨-弗洛里分佈(Schultz-Flory distribution)而非泊松分佈(Poisson distribution)之PDI(或Mw/Mn)。本發明乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物具有多分散嵌段分佈以及嵌段尺寸之多分 散分佈兩者。此導致形成具有改良且可區別的物理特性之聚合物產物。多分散嵌段分佈之理論益處先前已在Potemkin,Physical Review E(1998)57(6)，第6902-6912頁及Dobrynin,J.Chem.Phvs.(1997)107(21)，第9234-9238頁中建模且論述。
在一實施例中，本發明乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物具有嵌段長度之最大可能分佈。
在另一實施例中，本發明之乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物，尤其在連續溶液聚合反應器中製得之彼等者具有嵌段長度之最大可能分佈。在本發明之一個實施例中，乙烯多嵌段互聚物定義為具有：(A)約1.7至約3.5之Mw/Mn，以攝氏度計之至少一個熔點Tm及以公克/立方公分計之密度d，其中Tm及d之數值對應於以下關係式：Tm>-2002.9+4538.5(d)-2422.2(d)2，或(B)約1.7至約3.5之Mw/Mn，且其特徵為以J/g計之熔化熱△H及以攝氏度計之差量△T，其定義為最高DSC峰與最高結晶分析分餾(「CRYSTAF」)峰之間的溫差，其中△T及△H之數值具有以下關係式：對於大於零且至多130J/g之△H而言，△T>-0.1299△H+62.81
對於大於130J/g之△H而言，△T
Figure 105107427-A0202-12-0012-11
48℃
其中所述CRYSTAF峰使用至少5%累積聚合物測定，且若小於5%聚合物具有可鑑別的CRYSTAF峰，則CRYSTAF溫度為30℃；或(C)在300百分比應變及1次循環下用壓縮模 製乙烯/α-烯烴互聚物膜量測之以百分比計之彈性恢復Re，且具有以公克/立方公分計之密度d，其中當乙烯/α-烯烴互聚物實質上不含交聯相時，Re及d之數值滿足以下關係式：Re>1481-1629(d)；或(D)具有當使用TREF分餾時在40℃與130℃之間溶離之分子量溶離份，其特徵在於溶離份之莫耳共聚單體含量比在相同溫度之間溶離之可比無規乙烯互聚物溶離份高至少5%，其中所述可比無規乙烯互聚物具有相同共聚單體且其熔融指數、密度及莫耳共聚單體含量(以整個聚合物計)在乙烯/α-烯烴互聚物之10%內；或(E)具有在25℃下之儲存模數G'(25℃)及在100℃下之儲存模數G'(100℃)，其中G'(25℃)與G'(100℃)之比率在約1：1至約9：1範圍內。
乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物亦可具有：(F)當使用TREF分餾時在40℃與130℃之間溶離之分子溶離份，其特徵在於溶離份具有至少0.5且至多約1之嵌段指數及大於約1.3之分子量分佈Mw/Mn；或(G)大於零且至多約1.0之平均嵌段指數及大於約1.3之分子量分佈Mw/Mn。

C.扁平密封
本發明方法包含用相對經加熱之扁平密封條扁平密封基底。圖2顯示位於多層膜16與多層膜18之間的基底12。術語「扁平密封」為用相對扁平熱密封條壓縮基底12以使得基底壁15之相對內部部分彼此接觸或以其他方式觸碰之行為。基底12位於或以其他方式「包夾」在多層膜16與多層膜18之間。使膜-基底-膜夾層移動至第一密封工位且放置在扁平密封條20與扁平密封條22之間。扁平密封條20與扁平密封條22相對且扁平密封條20、22包含適合的結構及機制以使密封條朝向且遠離彼此移動以便進行熱密封程序。加熱扁平密封條20及22，且所述方法包含扁平密封基底12，其中所述基底包夾在多層膜16與多層膜18之間。扁平密封在基底12之扁平化末端23、25處形成相對密封接頭24、26，如圖3中所示。
扁平密封步驟包含將各多層膜16、18鄰接或以其他方式焊接至基底12之各別上部13a及底部13b，如圖3及4中所示。
在一實施例中，所述方法包含：(i)針對基底選擇具有115℃至125℃之熔融溫度Tm1之乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物； (ii)針對密封層選擇具有熔融溫度Tm2之基於烯烴之聚合物，使得Tm2比Tm1低10℃至40℃。
在一實施例中，Tm2比Tm1低10℃，或15℃，或20℃至25℃，或30℃，或35℃，或40℃。
在一實施例中，各密封層由基於乙烯之聚合物形成，所述聚合物具有比基底12中乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物之Tm1低10℃至40℃的Tm2。將扁平密封條20、22加熱至高於或等於密封層基於乙烯之聚合物之熔融溫度(Tm2)且低於或等於基底12之熔融溫度Tm1(或達到至少乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物之軟化溫度)之溫度。相對扁平條扁平密封條20、22所賦予之壓縮力及熱量同時(i)平化基底12或以其他方式使其變形；(ii)抵著基底12之外表面壓縮各多層膜16、18之密封層；(iii)在扁平化基底12之相對末端上形成密封接頭24及密封接頭26；(iv)熔融密封層中基於乙烯之聚合物；(v)軟化及/或熔融基底12中所存在之至少一些乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物；(vi)形成可流動填縫劑28，其由(a)來自基底之乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物、(b)來自密封層之基於乙烯之聚合物或(c)(a)與(b)之組合構成；及(vii)將上部/底部13a、13b焊接至膜16、18之各別密封層。
在一實施例中，扁平化步驟需要以下密封條件中之一者、一些或全部：(i)160℃，或170℃至180℃，或190℃，或200℃之溫度；(ii)700牛頓(N)，或750N至800N，或850N，或900N之壓力(或密封力)； (iii)施加(i)及/或(ii)持續0.1秒，或0.5秒，或0.75秒，或1.0第二，或2.0秒，或3.0秒，或4.0秒，或5.0秒至6.0秒，或7.0秒，或0.75秒，或8.0秒，或9.0秒或10秒之持續時間(密封時間或停留時間)。
壓縮力使基底12完全自身收縮，以使得基底之相對扁平化側面彼此接觸，封閉基底12，且使基底12產生線性組態B，如圖3中所示。
在一實施例中，壓縮力及封閉式扁平密封條20、22之加熱迫使可流動填縫劑28自基底12之外表面移動或以其他方式流動且進入密封接頭24且進入密封接頭26。填縫劑28流入且填充(完全或部分)密封接頭24及密封接頭26，如圖3及4中所示。
所述方法包含打開封閉式扁平密封條20、22，從而自基底12移除壓縮力且移除熱量。當打開封閉式扁平密封條20、22時，基底12中由乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物提供之彈性使得基底12能夠自線性經壓縮組態B回彈或以其他方式彈回且返回至打開位置，如圖4中所示。基底12之回彈運動用圖4中之箭頭G顯示。在回彈之情況下，基底壁15之相對內部部分遠離彼此移動且彼此不再接觸。基底12之內部不與自身密封。在回彈之情況下，在扁平密封步驟之後，基底12恢復且開至橢圓形橫截面形狀，如圖4-6中所示。
在一實施例中，扁平化後基底12可具有圓形或橢圓形橫截面C，如圖4中所示。申請人發現，由乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物構成且具有0.3mm至2.0mm之壁15厚度之基底12使得基底12能夠在完全收縮期間耐受壓縮力，而無 諸如龜裂、破裂或斷裂之損壞，又有利地具有足夠的彈性以在打開扁平密封條20、22後彈回打開組態。
打開封閉式扁平密封條形成如圖4中所示之焊接構造30，其中在上部13a處多層膜16焊接至基底12，在底部13b處多層膜18焊接至基底12，且多層膜彼此焊接，其中密封層直接彼此接觸。
D.點密封
所述方法包含用相對彎曲密封條點密封相對密封接頭。在扁平密封步驟之後，將焊接構造30移至第二密封工位。在第二密封工位下，相對彎曲密封條32、34接近焊接構造30。構造各彎曲密封條32、34以使得封閉式彎曲密封條32、34之直徑D大於基底12之直徑E，如圖5中所示。在第二密封工位下，填縫劑28為可流動的或以其他方式有延展性的。在封閉後，相對彎曲密封條32、34在密封接頭24及密封接頭26處施加壓縮力。因此，如本文所使用，「點密封」為在與基底上部13a或基底底部13b不接觸或輕微接觸之情況下，在密封接頭24處及密封接頭26處用相對彎曲密封條施加壓縮力之行為。以此方式，點密封在密封接頭24處將密封層16、18及填縫劑28捏合在一起，封閉密封接頭24。類似地，點密封在密封接頭26處將密封層16、18及填縫劑28捏合在一起，封閉密封接頭26。點密封填充或以其他方式封閉密封接頭24、26處之任何其餘空隙。在捏合期間，封閉式彎曲密封條32、34在基底上部13a或基底底部13b上不施加或實質上不施加熱量或壓縮力。
點密封步驟施加壓縮及捏合力持續足夠的持續 時間以使得填縫劑28能夠凝結且凝固，從而在密封接頭24、26處將多層膜16、18與基底12緊緊黏合。凝固之填縫劑28形成就地小翼36、38(圖6)，其完全填充各別密封接頭24、26且在基底12與多層膜16、18之間形成氣密密封。如本文所使用，「就地小翼」為基底12之延伸部分之結構，就地小翼為由乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物(來自基底)構成之可流動填縫劑(填縫劑28)之聚合凝固，填縫劑在基底在加熱下扁平化時產生，填縫劑在隨後捏合且封閉膜與基底之間的密封接頭時凝固。就地小翼由(i)乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物(來自基底12)或(ii)乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物與基於烯烴之聚合物(來自密封層)之摻合物構成，或以其他方式由其形成。以此方式，在點密封方法期間，點密封步驟就地形成小翼。
在一實施例中，點密封步驟(利用相對彎曲密封條32、34)包含以下密封條件中之一者、一些或全部：(i)18℃，或20℃，或22℃至25℃，或30℃之溫度；(ii)700N，或750N至800N，或850N，或900N之壓力(或密封力)；(iii)施加(i)及/或(ii)持續0.1秒，或0.5秒，或1.0秒，或2.0秒，或3.0秒，或4.0秒，或5.0秒至6.0秒，或7.0秒，或8.0秒，或9.0秒或10秒之持續時間(密封時間或停留時間)。
在一實施例中，所述方法包含形成具有0.5mm或1.0mm或2.0mm或3.0mm或4.0mm或5.0mm之長度F 之小翼36及/小翼38。
在一實施例中，使焊接構造冷卻。點密封在高溫下進行且填充密封接頭或焊接構造之其他部分處之任何其餘空隙。
E.撓性容器
所述方法包含形成撓性容器。相對多層膜16、18彼此重疊且形成共用外圍邊緣40，如圖7中所示。所述方法包含沿著共用外圍邊緣密封多層膜16、18及形成撓性容器42。形成沿著共用外圍邊緣40之密封可在扁平化步驟之前、期間或之後進行。形成沿著共用外圍邊緣之密封可在點密封步驟之前、期間或之後進行。所述方法在基底12與多層膜16及18之間形成氣密密封44。
將配件扁平條密封至膜以製得容器之熱量及應力受到限制。由低彈性聚烯烴(例如LDPE、HDPE)構成之配件壓碎、破裂、斷裂且為不可用的。由聚烯烴彈性體(例如ENGAGE或VERSIFY彈性體)構成之配件可展現變形，但不會充分恢復或焊接封閉。由交聯彈性體(例如TPV)構成之配件可充分恢復，但不會充分密封且不會形成氣密密封。申請人出人意料地發現，由本發明乙烯/α-烯烴多嵌段共聚物構成之配件恢復(回彈)，將不會與自身密封且將使用扁平條密封來將配件密封至容器之膜。
藉助於實例且非限制，提供本發明之實例。
