Abstract

Disclosed are a reclosable tape that can be manufactured easily and stably, exhibit excellent adhesion strength regardless of a material type of a sealant layer (innermost layer) of a base material film of a bag body and good formability of an engaging portion in manufacturing; and a packaging bag with the reclosable tape. The reclosable tape 1 includes a male member 11 and a female member 12 and the packaging bag with the reclosable tape are so arranged that: a belt-shaped base 13 of the reclosable tape 1 includes a seal portion 14 and a base portion 15 ; a resin forming the base portion 15 has a melting point higher than that of a resin forming the seal portion 14 ; and the resin forming the seal portion 14 contains 50 mass % or more of a metallocene-type linear-low-density polyethylene having density of 920 kg/m 3 or lower, melt flow rate of 5.0 g/l 10 min or lower.

Claims (19)

1. A reclosable tape, comprising a male member and a female member each constituted by a belt-shaped base having an engaging portion, wherein

the belt-shaped base includes a seal portion and a base portion that is formed continuously from and integrally with the engaging portion,

a resin that forms the base portion has a melting point higher than that of a resin that forms the seal portion, and

the resin that forms the seal portion contains: 50 to 99 mass % of the metallocene based linear low-density polyethylene having the density of 920 kg/m 3 or lower and the melt flow rate (MFR) of 5.0 g/10 min or lower; and

1 to 50 mass % of at least one of the following resins (a) and (b)

(a) a metallocene based linear low-density polyethylene having a density of 920 kg/m 3 or lower and a melt flow rate (MFR) of higher than 5.0 g/10 min, and

(b) a copolymer of a propylene and an α-olefin having a carbon number of 4 to 8.

2. The reclosable tape according to claim 1 , wherein a melting point of the resin that forms the base portion is 10° C. or more higher than a melting point of the resin that forms the seal portion.

3. The reclosable tape according to claim 1 , wherein the resin that forms the base portion is a random polypropylene having a melt flow rate (MER) of 3 to 10 g/10 min.

4. A packaging bag with a reclosable tape that is formed by welding, a reclosable tape to a bag body, the reclosable tape including a male member and a female member that are each constituted by a belt-shaped base having an engaging portion, wherein

in the reclosable tape, the belt-shaped base includes a seal portion and a base portion that is formed continuously from and integrally with the engaging portion,

a resin that forms the base portion has a melting point higher than that of a resin that forms the seal portion, and

the resin that forms the seal portion contains: 50 to 99 mass % of the metallocene based linear low-density polyethylene having the density of 920 kg/m 3 or lower and the melt flow rate (MFR) of 5.0 g/10 min or lower; and

1 to 50 mass % of at least one of the following resins (a) and (b)

(a) a metallocene based linear low-density polyethylene having a density of 920 kg/m 3 kg/m 3 or lower and a melt flow rate (MFR) of higher than 5.0 g/10 min, and

(b) a copolymer of a propylene and an α-olefin having a carbon number of 4 to 8.

5. The packaging bag according to claim 4 , wherein the bag body has a sealant layer as an innermost layer thereof, a resin that forms the sealant layer is a polypropylene resin.

6. The packaging bag according to claim 4 , wherein a melting point of the resin that forms the base portion is 10° C. or more higher than a melting point of the resin that forms the seal portion.

7. The packaging bag according to claim 4 , wherein the resin that forms the base portion is a random polypropylene having a melt flow rate (MFR) of 3 to 10 g/10 min.
