Definitions
- the present invention relates to a biaxially oriented polypropylene film, a food package, and a food package.
- OPP film Biaxially oriented polypropylene film
- OPP film has an excellent balance of performance, including processability, water vapor barrier properties, transparency, mechanical strength, and rigidity, and is used, for example, as a packaging film for packaging food.
- Patent Document 1 JP Patent Publication No. 2008-73926
- Patent Document 2 JP Patent Publication No. 2004-82499
- Patent Document 1 describes a biaxially oriented multilayer polypropylene film comprising a biaxially oriented film made of a propylene polymer composition containing 75 to 90 mass % of a propylene homopolymer (A) and 25 to 10 mass % of a tackifier (D), the biaxially oriented film having a layer made of a propylene- ⁇ -olefin random copolymer (C) having a melting point in the range of 125 to 145° C., via a layer made of a propylene polymer (B) having a melting point of 155° C. or higher, on one side thereof, and a layer made of a propylene polymer (E) on the other side thereof.
- Patent Document 1 describes that the biaxially oriented multilayer polypropylene film can suppress the seepage of petroleum resins and the like onto the film surface, and has excellent lamination strength and moisture resistance.
- Patent Document 2 describes a multilayer resin film having a biaxially oriented polypropylene resin layer containing 10 to 40% by mass of a highly crystallized resin and 6 to 15% by mass of a petroleum resin, and further having a polyvinyl alcohol resin layer via an adhesive layer on at least one surface of the biaxially oriented polypropylene resin layer, the multilayer resin film being characterized in that the oxygen transmission rate at a relative humidity of 85% RH and a temperature of 23°C is 600 mL/ m2 day MPa or less, and the water vapor transmission rate at a relative humidity of 90% RH and a temperature of 40°C is 3.5 g/ m2 day 20 ⁇ m or less.
- Patent Document 2 describes that the multilayer resin film has excellent oxygen gas barrier properties and moisture resistance.
- the present invention was made in consideration of the above circumstances, and provides a biaxially oriented polypropylene film, food packaging material, and food packaging material with improved thermal dimensional stability.
- the inventors conducted extensive research to solve the above problems. As a result, they discovered that the thermal dimensional stability of biaxially oriented polypropylene film can be improved by adjusting the crystallinity ratio at 165°C or less to a specific range, which led to the present invention.
- the present invention provides the biaxially oriented polypropylene film, food packaging material, and food packaging material shown below.
- a biaxially stretched film layer containing a propylene-based polymer is provided, A biaxially oriented polypropylene film having a crystallinity of 38% or more at 165°C or less as determined by differential scanning calorimetry.
- biaxially oriented polypropylene film is 20% or more as determined by differential scanning calorimetry.
- the content of the homopolypropylene (A) in the surface resin layer is 75% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less, when the entire surface resin layer is 100% by mass.
- the present invention provides a biaxially oriented polypropylene film, food packaging material, and food packaging material with improved thermal dimensional stability.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic example of the structure of a biaxially oriented polypropylene film according to the present embodiment.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic example of the structure of a biaxially oriented polypropylene film according to the present embodiment.
- FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view showing a schematic example of the structure of a biaxially oriented polypropylene film according to the present embodiment.
- ⁇ Biaxially oriented polypropylene film> 1 to 3 are cross-sectional views each showing a schematic example of the structure of a biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 according to the present embodiment.
- the biaxially oriented polypropylene film 100 of this embodiment includes a biaxially oriented film layer 101 containing a propylene-based polymer, and has a crystal ratio at 165° C. or less of 38% or more as determined by differential scanning calorimetry.
