Abstract

A heat-shrinkable multilayer film according to the present invention is obtained by laminating an inner surface layer that contacts contents, an adhesive layer, and an intermediate layer that is adjacent to the adhesive layer, in this order from an inner side to an outer side. The inner surface layer contains an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, the adhesive layer contains an acid-modified ethylene-based copolymer, and the intermediate layer contains a polyamide-based resin.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A heat-shrinkable multilayer film, comprising:
an inner surface layer;
an adhesive layer;
an intermediate layer adjacent to the adhesive layer;
an internal layer between the inner surface layer and the adhesive layer and adjacent to both the inner surface layer and the adhesive layer;
an outermost layer configuring an outer surface; and
a barrier layer adjacent to an outer side of the intermediate layer,
the heat-shrinkable multilayer film being obtained by laminating the inner surface layer, the internal layer, the adhesive layer, the intermediate layer, the barrier layer, and the outermost layer in this order from an inner side to an outer side of the heat-shrinkable multilayer film such that the outermost layer is adjacent to the intermediate layer on the outer side of the heat-shrinkable multilayer film, wherein
the inner surface layer composed of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer having a content of a vinyl acetate monomer unit of from 12 wt % to 20 wt %,
the adhesive layer comprises an acid-modified ethylene-based copolymer, wherein the acid-modified ethylene-based copolymer consists of a maleic anhydride-modified ethylene-α-olefin copolymer, the weight of the acid that is used in modification is from 0.01 wt % to 15 wt % with respect to the total weight of the modified ethylene-based copolymer that is ultimately obtained,
the intermediate layer comprises a polyamide-based resin, the polyamide-based resin comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of nylon 6-66 and nylon 6I-6T, wherein a content of the nylon 6-66 in the polyamide-based resin is from 70 wt % to 90 wt % and a content of the nylon 6I-6T in the polyamide-based resin is from 10 wt % to 30 wt %,
the internal layer comprises ionomers,
the outermost layer comprises a polyethylene terephthalate-isophthalate copolymer,
the barrier layer comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers and polymetaxylylene adipamide,
a thickness of the intermediate layer with respect to a total film thickness of the heat-shrinkable multilayer film is greater than 15% and not more than 50%, and
the heat-shrinkable multilayer film has, at 80° C., a thermal shrinkage rate of from 32% to 40% both in a machine direction (MD) and a transverse direction (TD) of the heat-shrinkable multilayer film.

2. The heat-shrinkable multilayer film according to claim 1 , further comprising an outer layer adjacent to an outer side of the barrier layer, the outer layer comprising a polyimide-based resin.

3. The heat-shrinkable multilayer film according to claim 2 , wherein the polyamide-based resin contained in the outer layer comprises at least one of an aliphatic polyamide or an amorphous aromatic polyimide.

4. The heat-shrinkable multilayer film according to claim 2 , wherein the polyamide-based resin contained in the outer layer comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of nylon 6, nylon 6-66, nylon 6-12, nylon 6-10, and nylon 6-66-12.
