Abstract

Disclosed is a laminate including a protection layer, a barrier layer, and a heat sealing layer, in which a product of a tensile elastic modulus A in a reference direction, a tensile elastic modulus B in a direction forming an angle of 45° with respect to the reference direction, and a tensile elastic modulus C in a direction forming an angle of 90° with respect to the reference direction is 0.22 (GPa) 3 or less, and a value of the tensile elastic modulus B to the tensile elastic modulus A, a value of the tensile elastic modulus C to the tensile elastic modulus A, and a value of the tensile elastic modulus C to the tensile elastic modulus B are each 0.1 to 10.

Claims (21)

1. A laminate comprising:

a protection layer;

a barrier layer; and

a heat sealing layer,

wherein the barrier layer has a polyamide-based resin layer and an ethylene-vinyl alcohol-based copolymer layer,

the heat sealing layer contains a polypropylene as a main component,

when an orthogonal direction to a thickness direction of the laminate is used as a reference direction, a product of a tensile elastic modulus A in the reference direction, a tensile elastic modulus B in a direction forming an angle of 45° with respect to the reference direction, and a tensile elastic modulus C in a direction forming an angle of 90° with respect to the reference direction is 0.22 (GPa) 3 or less, and

a value of the ratio of the tensile elastic modulus B to the tensile elastic modulus A, a value of the ratio of the tensile elastic modulus C to the tensile elastic modulus A, and a value of the ratio of the tensile elastic modulus C to the tensile elastic modulus B are each 0.1 to 10,

wherein the polyamide-based resin layer contains nylon 6.

2. The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the polyamide-based resin layer is adjacent to at least one surface of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol-based copolymer layer.

3. The laminate according to claim 1 ,

wherein in the laminate, one surface layer is the protection layer and the other surface layer is the heat sealing layer, and

when humidity control is performed for 24 hours, under a condition of 23° C. and 50% RH in the protection layer and a condition of 23° C. and 90% RH in the heat sealing layer, after the laminate is subjected to a hot water treatment at 120° C. for 30 minutes, an oxygen permeability is 1.0 cc/(pkg·day·atm) or less.

4. A stand-up pouch, comprising: the laminate according to claim 1 .

5. The laminate of claim 1 , wherein the heat sealing layer has a thickness of 30 μm to 300 μm.

6. The laminate of claim 1 , wherein the ethylene-vinyl alcohol-based copolymer layer has a thickness of 1 μm to 35 μm.

7. The laminate of claim 1 , wherein the heat sealing layer has a thickness of 30 μm to 300 μm, and the ethylene-vinyl alcohol-based copolymer layer has a thickness of 1 μm to 35 μm.

8. The laminate of claim 1 , wherein the polyamide-based resin layer has a thickness of 1 μm to 100 μm.

9. The laminate of claim 1 , wherein a ratio Te/Tp, of thickness Te of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol-based copolymer layer, to thickness Tp of the polyamide-based resin layer, is 0.02 to 10.
