Abstract

Provided is a perfectly-decomposable, biodegradable barrier sheet that has an excellent thermoformability and oxygen barrier performance, and can transform into carbon dioxide and water via microbial degradation (biodegradation) during composting and thus return to nature. Further provided is a container obtained by thermoforming the barrier sheet. This laminated sheet is provided with an oxygen-barrier resin layer and biodegradable resin layers laminated via an adhesive layer to both surfaces of the oxygen-barrier resin layer. The total percentage by mass of the biodegradable resin layers is at least 90% of the entire sheet, and the percentage by mass of each biodegradable resin layer is at least 10% of the entire sheet. The oxygen transmission rate of the entire sheet does not exceed 10 cc/m 2 ·day. At least one substance selected from polylactic acid, polybutylene succinate, polyhydroxybutyrate, polycaprolactone, polyhydroxyalkanoate, polyglycolic acid, modified polyvinyl alcohol, and starch is used in the biodegradable resin.

First claim

a mass percent total of the biodegradable resin layer is greater than or equal to 90% of the entire sheet; a mass percent of each of the biodegradable resin layers is greater than or equal to 10% of the entire sheet; and an oxygen permeability of the entire sheet is less than or equal to 10 cc/m 2 ·day.

2 : The laminated sheet according to claim 1 , characterized in that a biodegradable resin constituting the biodegradable resin layer is one selected from polyactate, polybutylenesuccinate, polyhydroxybutyrate, polycaprolactone, polyhydroxyalkanoate, polyglycolic acid, modified polyvinyl alcohol, and starch.

3 : The laminated sheet according to claim 2 , characterized in that the biodegradable resin used is polyactate.

4 . (canceled)

5 . (canceled)

6 : The laminated sheet according to claim 1 , characterized in that the biodegradable resin used is polyactate.

7 : The laminated sheet according to claim 1 , characterized in that the entire sheet has a thickness of 200 to 1300 μm, and the oxygen barrier resin layer has a thickness of 10 to 50 μm.

8 : The laminated sheet according to claim 2 , characterized in that the entire sheet has a thickness of 200 to 1300 μm, and the oxygen barrier resin layer has a thickness of 10 to 50 μm.

9 : The laminated sheet according to claim 3 , characterized in that the entire sheet has a thickness of 200 to 1300 μm, and the oxygen barrier resin layer has a thickness of 10 to 50 μm.

10 : The laminated sheet according to claim 4 , characterized in that the entire sheet has a thickness of 200 to 1300 μm, and the oxygen barrier resin layer has a thickness of 10 to 50 μm.

11 : A formed container formed by thermoforming the laminated sheet according to claim 1 .

12 : A formed container according to claim 9 , characterized in that a biodegradable resin constituting the biodegradable resin layer is one selected from polyactate, polybutylenesuccinate, polyhydroxybutyrate, polycaprolactone, polyhydroxyalkanoate, polyglycolic acid, modified polyvinyl alcohol, and starch.

13 : A formed container according to claim 9 , characterized in that the biodegradable resin used is polyactate.

14 : A formed container according to claim 10 , characterized in that the biodegradable resin used is polyactate.

15 : A formed container according to claim 9 , characterized in that the entire sheet has a thickness of 200 to 1300 μm, and the oxygen barrier resin layer has a thickness of 10 to 50 μm.

16 : A formed container according to claim 10 , characterized in that the entire sheet has a thickness of 200 to 1300 μm, and the oxygen barrier resin layer has a thickness of 10 to 50 μm.

17 : A formed container according to claim 11 , characterized in that the entire sheet has a thickness of 200 to 1300 μm, and the oxygen barrier resin layer has a thickness of 10 to 50 μm.

18 : A formed container according to claim 12 , characterized in that the entire sheet has a thickness of 200 to 1300 μm, and the oxygen barrier resin layer has a thickness of 10 to 50 μm.
