PATENT SPECIFICATION
( 21) Application No 24559/77 ( 22) Filed 13 June 1977 ( 31) Convention Application No 7501/76 ( 32) Filed 14 June 1976 in ( 33) Switzerland (CH) ( 44) Complete Specification published 23 April 1980 ( 51) INT CL 3 B 32 B 7/12 15/08 15/20 27/36 27/40 ( 52) Index at acceptance B 5 N 0712 1508 1520 2704 2706 2732 2736 2740 ( 72) Inventors WERNER FESTAG KLAUS FARRENKOTHEN and HANS-UELI MULLER ( 54) ALUMINIUM/PLASTICS LAMINATE FOILS ( 71) We, SWISS ALUMINIUM LTD, a company organised under the laws of Switzerland, of Chippis (Canton of Valais), Switzerland, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the
following statement:-
The invention relates to aluminium/plastics laminate foils, which are suitable in particular for the production of containers for holding sensitive goods such as foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and similar products, the said containers being highly efficient at excluding light, oxygen, water vapour and aromas from external sources, and also at preventing loss of aroma from the contents of the container itself.
Aluminium/plastics laminate foils are used a great deal today to make rigid or flexible forms of packaging for holding goods such as foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, chemicals etc The known, currently used aluminium/plastics laminate foils are very efficient at excluding light, oxygen, water vapour and aromas from external sources and at preventing loss of aroma from the contents They also prevent goods from perishing, and prevent changes in product quality over long periods of time Contained in such packaging, sterilised foodstuffs such as pre-cooked foods, meat, and vegetable products can be stored at room temperature for more than 1-2 years without any noticeable changes taking place in flavour or quality.
In order to impart to the aluminium foil in the laminate the maximum possible elongation at fracture thus making it more able to withstand the mechanical stressing involved for example in operations requiring pulling, folding and bending, plastics foils with relatively low elongation at fracture ( 20-100 ,) and tensile strength values of 10-20 kp/mm 2 have been recommended up to now By using a two-component adhesive between the aluminium and the plastics, it was possible to produce aluminium/plastics laminate foils which withstood an elongation of 20-30 % without producing any damage to the aluminium foil and therefore without losing their barrier properties after the unavoidable folding and tensile stressing (see for example «Aluminium», Vol 45, No 5, May 1969, p.
284 bottom left, and German patent 1,236,904, column 4, last paragraph).
In the case of the aluminium/plastics laminate foils which have been known up to now, it has been found that although the sensitive aluminium foil when joined to plastics foils is protected to a large extent from mechanical loading, the limited elongation at fracture which it exhibits impairs the properties of the laminate foil in that it cannot be used for the manufacture of flexible or semi-rigid containers by the deep drawing process normally used with plastics foils Although such aluminium/plastics laminate foils are used a great deal, for example for forms of packaging such as flat bags or pouches, tubular bags, side and end sealed bags, blister packaging etc, they are still excluded from import sectors of packaging technology.
Because of the low elongation at fracture of the aluminium foil, it has not been possible up to now to deep draw semirigid or flexible aluminium/plastics laminate foils into trough-shaped containers, as for example is achieved in the manufacture of containers made of plastics, since in the stretching operation involved the aluminium foil forms cracks and pores and therefore loses its barrier properties.
The object of the invention presented here was then to produce aluminium/plastics laminate foils with which the above-described disadvantages, ( 11) 1 565 915 ( 19) 1,565,915 associated with the laminate foils known up to now, are avoided and which exhibit not only a very pronounced ability to withstand stresses due to tensile, bending and compressive forces, but also make deep drawing possible because of the high elongation at fracture which the said aluminium/plastics laminate foils possess.
The object of the invention is achieved by an aluminium/plastics laminate foil comprising an aluminium foil, with plastics foil joined to one or both faces of the aluminium foil by an adhesive layer, the or each plastics foil exhibiting an elongation at fracture of 80-180 , the or each adhesive layer having a shear strength of at least 0 3 N/mm 2, and the aluminium foil bearing less than half the load on the laminate when the laminate is subjected to tension less than that causing fracture.
With such aluminium/plastics laminate foils it is possible to achieve an elongation of 40-120 O in a tensile test without tearing or forming macropores.
If such a laminate foil is tensile stressed in all directions, e g by compressed air forming or stamping, it is possible to achieve a 20-60 %’ increase in surface area, forming containers which are permanent in shape and at the same time keeping the aluminium foil intact.
It has been found that the strength and elongation of the plastics foil at fracture are not suitable criteria for the selection of the plastics foil which, in combination with an aluminium foil, can protect the aluminium from tearing and forming pores In selecting the plastics foil it is much more important that the plastics foil bears a greater proportion of the load within the desired elongation than the aluminium foil, i e the load carried by the plastics foil or the total load carried by all the plastics foils, if two or more are present, should be greater than the load carried by the aluminium foil.
Polyester foils are preferred.
Moreover, it is necessary that the plastics foil is joined to the aluminium foil by an adhesive which has a shear strength of at least 0 3 N/mm 2 The peeling strength which is normallv measured to determine the bond strength of aluminium/plastics laminate foils is not a suitable criterion for choosing the correct adhesive.
It has been found that the use of adhesives with shear strength values below 0.3 N/mm 2 leads to cracking and pore formation in the aluminium/plastics laminate foil, even when used with plastics foils which exhibit an optimum strengthelongation behaviour.
The accompanying drawings illustrate in a simplified, schematic manner, one example of a laminate foil embodying the invention In these drawings:Figure 1 is a section through an aluminium/plastics laminate foil; and Figure 2 is a load-elongation diagram obtained by measuring with 15 mm wide strip samples in accordance with the specification DIN 53455.
In the process for manufacturing the aluminium/plastics foil I shown in Figure 1, 1.5-2 5 g/m 2 (dry weight) of a twocomponent adhesive 2 which exhibits shear strength of 2 50 N/mm 2 is deposited on a 20 um thick aluminium foil 3 (preferably soft annealed 99 2 % Al) by means of a suitable roller which is not shown here Preferably the adhesive is a polyurethane-based adhesive The adhesive 2 is dried and cured at 100-120 «C, and then a 12 5 1 um thick polyethyleneterephthalate foil 4, immediately after treating with a corona discharge in such a way that it has a surface tension of 56 dynes/cm, is stuck on to the aluminium foil I on top of the adhesive 2 by passing the laminate over a roll heated to 85-900 C and with the aid of a rubber pressure roll (not shown here).
The polyethyleneterephthalate foil 4 (i e.
polyester foil) exhibits an elongation at fracture of 150 % and the following loadelongation behaviour.
Elongation % % % % % % Load 97 N/mm 2 108 N/mm 2 N/mm 2 147 N/mm 2 158 N/mm 2 N/mm 2 In this example, the aluminium foil is covered on the other face with an identical polyester foil 4.
Finally 2 0-3 5 g/m 2 of the same adhesive is deposited on one of the polyester foils 4, dried at 1100 C, and covered with a 50 pm thick, unstretched polypropylene foil 5 which exhibits a surface tension of 50-53 dynes/cm after prior treatment with corona discharge, the laminating being done by means of a rubber roller at a roll temperature of 105 ‘C Other thicknesses of polypropylene, in the range 40-60 jm, may be used.
After curing the adhesive 2, the aluminium/plastics laminate foil 1 yielded a force-elongation diagram as shown in Figure 2 If the forces producing a specific elongation in the polyester foils 4 and the polypropylene foil 5 are subtracted from the force-elongation curve for the laminate foil, then the force-elongation curve for the aluminium foil 3 is obtained From the diagram shown in Figure 2 it can be seen that the total of the tensile forces borne by the polyester foils 4 plus the polypropylene foil 5 is greater at all elongations than the 1,565,915 tensile force borne by the aluminium foil 3 at the same elongation The elongation at fracture of the polyester foil can, depending on the application be between 80 %,/ and 180 «,.
Laminate foils according to the invention are particularly well suited for the manufacture of containers by the wellknown deep drawing process.
Containers were produced with the laminate foil I by stretching the toil 1 over a negative mould which draws on an area of mmx 125 mm of the laminate foil, and shaping the foil into a 30 mm deep trough using compressed air at a pressure of 3 2 bar.
The container produced by this method, which is not described in any greater detail here, had a stable shape after deep drawing, and the aluminium foil 3 exhibited no macropores or cracks Such a container filled with a ready-cooked meal (rice with pieces of meat) and having a lid made up of 12,um thick polyethyleneterephthalate/12 Mm thick aluminium/75 Mm thick polypropylene, sealed and sterilised at 1210 C for 30 min in a counter-pressure autoclave at 2 6 bar, still exhibited contents in perfect condition after 1 year of storage at 20-250 C.
