Abstract

A multilayered biodegradable film comprising at least one first resin layer and at least one second resin layer, wherein the first and second resin layers are alternately layered; the first resin layer comprises a polylactic acid-based polymer; the second resin layer comprises an aliphatic polyester-based resin or an aliphatic-aromatic copolymerized polyester-based resin; and the film has a coloring peak value of 0.3 or less, a haze of 10% or less, and an elastic modulus of 300 kgf/mm 2 or less, exhibits improved flexibility and transparency, which is useful for environmentally friendly packaging.

Claims (13)

1. A multilayered biodegradable film comprising at least one first resin layer and at least one second resin layer, wherein:

the first and second resin layers are alternately layered;

the first resin layer comprises a polylactic acid-based polymer;

the second resin layer comprises an aliphatic polyester-based resin that is different from the polylactic-acid based polymer or an aliphatic-aromatic copolymerized polyester-based resin; and

the multilayered biodegradable film has a coloring peak value of 0.3 or less, a haze of 10% or less, and an elastic modulus of 300 kgf/mm 2 or less,

wherein the multilayered biodegradable film is a laminated film composed of 43 to 220 layers;

wherein the first resin layer forms both outermost layers of the multilayered biodegradable film; and

wherein an average thickness of each of the first resin layers except for the two first resin layers forming the outermost layers is in a range of 133 to 5,000 nm.

2. The multilayered biodegradable film of claim 1 , wherein the second resin layer is composed of an aliphatic-aromatic copolymerized polyester-based resin containing an aliphatic acid component in an amount of 50% by mole or more of the total acid component in forming the aliphatic-aromatic copolymerized polyester-based resin.

3. The multilayered biodegradable film of claim 1 , which further comprises at least one third resin layer which is disposed between the first and second resin layers, the third resin layer comprising an aliphatic polyester-based resin or an aliphatic-aromatic copolymerized polyester-based resin which is different from that used in the second resin layer.

4. The multilayered biodegradable film of claim 1 , wherein the total thickness of the both outermost layers is in a range of 5 to 50% of the total thickness of the film.

5. The multilayered biodegradable film of claim 1 , which has a biodegradability of 60% or more.

6. A wrapping material comprising the multilayered biodegradable film according to claim 1 .
