Abstract

A multilayered aliphatic polyester film of the present invention comprising a first resin layer and a second resin layer laminated on one or both sides of the first resin layer, the first resin layer containing a polylactic-based polymer comprising L-lactic acid in an amount ranging from 50 to 100% by weight, and the second resin layer containing a polylactic-based polymer comprising D-lactic acid in an amount ranging from 5 to 20% by weight, can be easily peeled off by pulling with hands, and has improved heat adhesiveness, heat resistance, transparency, impact resistance, perforation resistance and dimensional stability. Accordingly, it is useful for packaging materials, especially as a disposable film lid for plastic containers.

Claims (14)

1. A multilayered aliphatic polyester film comprising a first resin layer and a second resin layer laminated on one or both sides of the first resin layer, wherein:

the first resin layer is formed from a polylactic-based polymer comprising L-lactic acid in an amount ranging from 98 to 100% by weight, and the second resin layer is formed from one polylactic-based polymer comprising D-lactic acid in an amount ranging from 5 to 10% by weight; and

the polyester film has a heat of fusion (ΔHm) of 1.0 to 10 J/g and a haze of 20% or less after being subjected to hot bath treatment at 85° C. for 30 minutes, and a heat adhesive strength of 800 to 1500 gf/inch.

2. The multilayered aliphatic polyester film of claim 1 , wherein a thickness ratio of the first resin layer and the second resin layer is in the range of 1:1 to 20:1.

3. The multilayered aliphatic polyester film of claim 1 , which has an impact absorption energy per unit thickness of 0.5 kgf-cm/μm or more.

4. The multilayered aliphatic polyester film of claim 1 , which has a perforation strength of 0.8 kgf or more.

5. The multilayered aliphatic polyester film of claim 1 , which has a heat shrinkage in the longitudinal and transverse directions of 5% or less when subjected to hot air at 100° C. for 5 minutes.

6. A wrapping material comprising a multilayered aliphatic polyester film, the multilayered aliphatic polyester film comprising a first resin layer and a second resin layer laminated on one or both sides of the first resin layer, wherein:

the first resin layer contains a polylactic-based polymer comprising L-lactic acid in an amount ranging from 50 to 100% by weight, and the second resin layer contains one polylactic-based polymer comprising D-lactic acid in an amount ranging from 5 to 20% by weight; and

the polyester film has a heat of fusion (ΔHm) of 1.0 to 10 J/g and a haze of 20% or less after being subjected to hot bath treatment at 85° C. for 30 minutes, and a heat adhesive strength of 300 to 1500 gf/inch.

7. The wrapping material of claim 6 , wherein a thickness ratio of the first resin layer and the second resin layer is in the range of 1:1 to 20:1.

8. The wrapping material of claim 6 , which has an impact absorption energy per unit thickness of 0.5 kgf-cm/μm or more.

9. The wrapping material of claim 6 , which has a perforation strength of 0.8 kgf or more.

10. The wrapping material of claim 6 , which has a heat shrinkage in the longitudinal and transverse directions of 5% or less when subjected to hot air at 100° C. for 5 minutes.
