Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a stand-up pouch for retort which has a high rate of gas barrier property recovery after retort processing and can stably retain high gas barrier properties. The stand-up pouch for retort of the invention comprises a laminate which comprises a base film and, disposed over one surface of the base film, a polyamide resin layer, a saponified ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer layer, and a heat-sealing resin layer, wherein the polyamide resin layer adjoins the saponified ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer layer.

Claims (24)

1. A stand-up pouch for retort comprising:

a laminate which comprises a base film and, disposed over one surface of the base film, a polyamide resin layer, a saponified ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer layer, and a heat-sealing resin layer,

wherein the polyamide resin layer adjoins the saponified ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer layer,

wherein a ratio (Tc/Tb) between a thickness (Tc) of the saponified ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer layer and a thickness (Tb) of the polyamide resin layer is 0.02 to 0.9,

wherein a thickness of the polyamide resin layer is more than 10 μm and less than or equal to 80 μm, and the polyamide is nylon 6,

wherein a thickness of the saponified ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer layer is 1-35 μm,

wherein the saponified ethylene-vinyl ester is a saponified ethylene-vinyl ester of which the ethylene content is 20-60% by mole, the degree of saponification of the saponified ethylene-vinyl ester is 90-100% by mole, and the melt flow rate (MFR) is 0.5-100 g/10 min,

wherein the base film is a polyester resin film, and

wherein a heat-sealing resin which constitutes the heat-sealing resin layer is polypropylene.

2. The stand-up pouch for retort according to claim 1 , comprising:

the polyamide resin layer between the base film and the saponified ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer layer.

3. The stand-up pouch for retort according to claim 1 , further comprising a second polyamide resin layer, and wherein the polyamide resin layers adjoin both surfaces of the saponified ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer layer.

4. The stand-up pouch for retort according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio (Tc/Tb) between a thickness (Tc) of the saponified ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer layer and a thickness (Tb) of the polyamide resin layer is 0.333 to 0.666.

5. The stand-up pouch for retort according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio (Tc/Tb) between a thickness (Tc) of the saponified ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer layer and a thickness (Tb) of the polyamide resin layer is 0.02 to 0.666.

6. A stand-up pouch for retort comprising:

a laminate which comprises a base film and, disposed over one surface of the base film, a polyamide resin layer, a saponified ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer layer, and a heat-sealing resin layer,

wherein the polyamide resin layer adjoins the saponified ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer layer,

wherein a ratio (Tc/Tb) between a thickness (Tc) of the saponified ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer layer and a thickness (Tb) of the polyamide resin layer is 0.02 to 0.9,

wherein a thickness of the polyamide resin layer is more than 10 μm and less than or equal to 80 μm, and the polyamide is nylon 6,

wherein a thickness of the saponified ethylene-vinyl ester copolymer layer is 1-35 μm, and

wherein the saponified ethylene-vinyl ester is a saponified ethylene-vinyl ester of which the ethylene content is 20-60% by mole, the degree of saponification of the saponified ethylene-vinyl ester is 90-100% by mole, and the melt flow rate (MFR) is 0.5-100 g/10 min,

wherein the stand-up pouch for retort exhibits an improvement in oxygen permeability from after 6 hours to after 24 hours after retort processing of 34.5% or higher, and

wherein the base film is a polyester resin film, and

wherein a heat-sealing resin which constitutes the heat-sealing resin layer is polypropylene.
