Abstract

Abstract of the disclosure :
A process for the production of a laminate which comprises laminating a boehmite- or pseudoboehmite-treated aluminum foil with an oxidation-treated polyolefin film with the treated surface of the foil facing to the treated surface of the film under heat and pressure without the use of binders for lamination.
In one embodiments, the laminate so produced may be laminated with the same laminate with the treated surface of the foil of the former facing to the treated surface of the film of the latter, under heat and pressure, or it may be laminated on the aluminum foil side with a resin film, such as a polyester or polyamide film, with the use of a binder between the aluminum foil and the resin film.

Description

~a66z4 This invention relates to a process for the formation of a laminate of an aluminum sheet or foil with a polyolefin film and more particularly to a process for forming such a laminate particularly suitable as heat sealable material for package of foodstuffs without the use of a binder for lamination, the laminate being very advantageous from the view-point of sanitation.
There have heretofore been marketed various laminates of aluminum sheets or foils with various synthetic resin films and, among others, laminates of aluminum sheets or foils with polyolefin films have recently been particularly noted and in increasingly great demand with the development of package of foodstuffs.
However, there was raised a problem as to the bond strength effected between a polyolefin film and a metal such as an aluminum sheet or foil (the sheet and foil being hereinafter referred to simply as "foil") since the polyolefin film has no polar groups.
In an attempt to effect a satisfactory bond between an aluminum foil and a polyolefin film, many efforts have been made to develop binders useful for bonding the aluminum foil to the polyolefin film, treat the polyolefin film for improvement thereof in receptivity for the aluminum foil, treat the aluminum foil for improvement thereof in receptivity for the polyolefin film, effect such development and treatments in combination and find other suitable means for the same purpose as above.
Treatments heretofore kno~n for improving a polyolefin film and aluminum foil in bonding to each other include, as treatments for aluminum foil, a mechanical treatment t~ith sand blast or the like, an etching treatment with an acid or alkali and a chemical film-forming treatment such as a treatment . -:

by anodic oxidation or with phosphoric or chromic acid, and include, as treatments for a polyolefin film, a treatment with air, ox-ygen or ozone, a treatment with radiation, a treatment with sulfuric acid-chromic acid, a treatment with maleic or like acid for graft copolymerization, a treatment by corona discharge, a treatment with flame, a treatment by ultraviolet radiation and a treatment for incorporating an inorganic filler - in the film.
However, even the use of these known treatments in combination did not result in the production of laminates hav-ing satisfactory bond strength and, therefore, binders had to be used for lamination. The thus-produced laminates in which the binder is used are disadvantageous in that the binder will melt out of the laminates if they are made into bags and sub-jected to a high temperature treatment for sterilization or the like. The term "binder" in the specification is intend~d to be synonymous with "adhesive".
Various studies were made by the present inventors in attempts to find a process for ~onding an aluminum foil and a polyolefin film securely to each other without the use of a binder, and, as a result of their studies, it has been found that even if an aluminum foil having been subjected to known boehmite treatment (such foil being hereinafter referred to as "boehmite-treated foil") is attempted to be laminated with a polyolefin film at a high temperature under pressure in a lon~ time, a laminate having sufficient kond strength will not be obtained (a secure bond will not be effected between the boehmite-treated aluminum foil and the polyolefin film)depending upon the kind of the polyolefin whereby are raised problems as to the op-ration of lamination and use of the laminates produced.

As a result of their further studies, the present inventors have also found that if a boehmite-treated aluminum foil is laminated with a polyolefin film having previously been subJected to oxidation treatment, a satisfactory laminate having high bond strength (a laminate in which the aluminum foil and the polyolefin film are securely bonded to each other) will be produced under heat and pressure in a short time. Such laminates may be used as material for packaging general goods and medical supplies, particularly for packaging foodstuffs.
The boehmite treatment effected in the practice of this invention may comprise (1) immersing an aluminum foil in a distilled water or ion exchange water at not lower than 60C
to which a small amount of ammonia water, triethanolamine or the like may be added, (2) treating an aluminum foil in steam at 100 - 140C or (3) subjecting an aluminum foil to any of other known methods for boehmite treatment.
The polyethylene films which may be used in the invention include commercially available films such as high-density, medium-density and low-density polyethylene films, and stretched and non-stretched polypropylene films.
The corona discharge treatment used herein may be a usual one.
The lamination under heat and pressure (or the thermal pressure lamination) according to this invention will provide a laminate which has high bond strength without a binder ;
and is suitable as material particularly for packaging foodstuffs, the laminate consisting of an oxidation-treated polyolefin film laminated to a boehmite- or pseudoboehmite-treated a-uminum foil with the treated surface of the foil and that of the film facing to each other.
These and other objects will be apparent from the following 1(~8~;624 description.
The aluminum foils (including sheets as previously defined) used herein are not required to be of special quality but may be commercially available untreated ones.
The boehmite or pseudoboehmite treatment used in this invention may be effected by the use of any one of heretofore -known various methods. For example, it may be effected by immersing an aluminum foil in distilled water or ion exchange water at not lower than 60C or by blowing steam (at 100 -140C) against an aluminum foil. The time required for the boehmite treatment varies depending partly on a temperature for the treatment but it ranges from about 30 seconds to several hours, with from two minutes to 30 minutes being preferred for industrial purposes. In the practice of boehmite treatment used in this invention, it is not always necessary to make -a perfect boehmite layer of an aluminum foil surface;
on the other hand, it is enough to make the foil surface into pseudoboehmite even if the pseudoboehmite is one which has been ~-formed in less than several minutes, since even the formation of such pseudoboehmite will result in the production of laminates having sufficient bond strength which are suitable for the purpose of this invention.
From this it is considered that the process of this invention is a very advantageous one for industrial use. The term "boehmite and/or pseudoboehmite" is hereinafter referred to simply as "boehmite" for brevity. In the boehmite treatment, said distilled water or ion exchange water may be incorporated with ammonia or an amine such as triethanolamine to improve the resulting boehmite-treated aluminum foil in corrosion resistance.

1~86624 The polyolefin films which may be used in this invention include polyethylene films, preferably high-density polyethylene films, and polypropylene films, preferably unstretched polypropylene films.
The oxidation treatment for these polyolefin films may be at least one of a corona discharge treatment, an ultraviolet radiation treatment, a glow discharge treatment, an electron beam radiation treatment, an ozone treatment, a flame treatment and a sulfuric acid-chromic acid treatment, among which the corona discharge treatment is particularly advantageous for the purpose of this invention since it is easy to carry out with safety, does not cause aging of the polyolefin films, does not raise problems as to disposal of waste water and provides oxidation-treated polyolefin films capable of being securely bonded to boehmite-treated aluminum foils.
The use of the corona discharge and ultraviolet radiation treatments in combination is very advantageous industrially since it will result in the production of satisfactory laminates under heat and pressure in a short time.
In the lamination of the boehmite-treated aluminum foil with the oxidation-treated polyolefin film, there are two cases where the treated polyolefin film is used in non-molten state and molten state, respectively. In the former case, commercially available polyolefin films may be used (after oxida-tion-treated if not so treated), and particularly boehmite-treated high-density polyethylene and unstretched polypropylene films may preferably be used. It is advantageous that these treated polyethylene and polypropylene films may be laminated to the boehmite-treated aluminum foils by the use of a comparatively simple thermal pressure laminating .. .. , - -: :

10~6~iZ4 apparatus and it is also desirable that the laminates so obtained may be used as material for packaging foodstuffs since they are excellent in heat resistance.
In the latter case, it is advantageous as compared with the former case that a bet-ter bond may be effected in the production laminates, while it is disadvantageous that the polyolefin films may, in some cases, be degraded in quality and that a complicated thermal pressure lamination apparatus be required for lamination. Thus, it may be determined depending on the use of the resulting laminates ~ich case to select.
In the lamination of the boehmite-treated aluminum foil with the oxidation-treated polyolefin film according to this invention, a hot press or rolls for thermal pressure lamination (hereinafter referred to simply as "lamination rolls) may be used with the latter being preferably used for industrial use. It is desirable that the lamination rolls be operated under the conditions that the temperature of the surface of the rolls is in the range of 140 - 240C, the pressure exerted by the rolls is in the range of l - lO kg/cm2 (in terms of a plane pressure) and the peripheral velocity of the rolls is in the range of 1 - 50 m/min.
As apparatus for carrying out this invention, conventional apparatus for lamination using a binder under heat and pressure may be used although the step of applying a binder is omitted; for example, apparatus for extrusion lamination, for hot melt lamination or for dry lamination may be used. Such apparatus will be illustrated by reference to the accompanying drawing in which : --Fig. l illustrates a schematic view of an apparatus for carrying out a process of this invention ;

Fig. 4 shows a cross-sectional view of a laminate of this invention used for packaging ; and Fig. 5 shows laminates of this invention in doubled form.
Referring now to Fig. 1, a polyolefin film 1 is subjected to at least one of oxidation treatments such as corona discharge treatment 2 and ultraviolet radiation treatment 3 and then passed to lamination rolls consisting of a heating roll Ll and pressure roll 5, while an aluminum foil 6 is subJected to boehmite treatment and passed, through heating rolls ~ and 8' if desired, to said lamination rolls where the boehmite-treated aluminum foil is laminated with the oxidation-treated polyolefin. If desired, the laminate so obtained is then subjected to ultraviolet radiation treatment 3' with the polyolefin film side facing to the radiation source or cooled by passing through cooling rolls 9 and 9~.
The use of the new laminates produced by the process C~ ~ Pa rr'S~ ~ ' A f this invention as well as the c~arion of the new laminates with conventional (heretofore commercially available) ones will be detailed by reference to the accompany drawing.
As shown in Fig. 2(a), a conventional laminate consists of a polyolefin film 10 and an aluminum foil 12, laminated with each other with the use of a binder 11 therebetween and~ as shown in Fig. 2(b), said laminate may be covered with another film 13 such as a polyester film or polyamide film with the use of a binder 11' between the foil 12 and other film 13 in order to increase the strength of the laminate.

~0~66Z4 As shown in Fig. 3(a), a laminate produced by the process of this invention consists of an oxidation-treated polyolefin film 10~ and a boehmite-treated aluminum foil 12~, laminated with each other without the use of a binder therebetween.
As sho~n in Fig. 3(b), the laminate is usually further laminated with a polyester or polyamide film 13 with the use of a binder between the foil 12' and the film 13 for use as packaging material.
As indicated in Fig. 4, the packaging material as sho~n in Fig. 3(b) is heat sealed at the ends A and A' with the polyolefin film lOt facing to goods 14 such as foodstuffs, contained in the packaging material prior to the heat sealing.
