Abstract

A zipper tape is in an elongated shape and includes, in a cross-sectional shape, a pair of base strips and engagement portions projecting from surfaces facing each other of the pair of respective base strips, the engagement portions being engageable with each other. At least the engagement portions are each formed of a first biodegradable resin composition having a yield strain of 3.4% or more during a tensile test.

Claims (13)

1. A zipper tape in an elongated shape, comprising, in a cross-sectional shape, a pair of base strips and engagement portions projecting from respective surfaces facing each other of the pair of base strips, the engagement portions being engageable with each other, wherein

at least the engagement portions each comprise a first biodegradable resin composition having a yield strain of 15% or more during a tensile test, and

wherein the first biodegradable resin composition comprises, a content of polybutylene succinate (PBS) in a range of 60 mass % to 90 mass % and a content of poly (butylene adipate/terephthalate) (PBAT) in a range of 10 mass % to 40 mass %.

2. The zipper tape according to claim 1 , wherein the first biodegradable resin composition further comprises a plasticizer.

3. The zipper tape according to claim 1 , wherein the yield strain during the tensile test is equal to or less than 30%.

4. The zipper tape according to claim 1 , wherein surfaces of the pair of base strips opposite the surfaces facing each other each comprise a second biodegradable resin composition different from the first biodegradable resin composition.

5. The zipper tape according to claim 4 , wherein the second biodegradable resin composition comprises at least any one of polybutylene succinate (PBS), poly (butylene adipate/terephthalate) (PBAT), or poly (butylene succinate/adipate) (PBSA).

6. The zipper tape according to claim 4 , wherein the second biodegradable resin composition comprises at least any one of polybutylene succinate (PBS) or poly (butylene succinate/adipate) (PBSA).

7. The zipper tape according to claim 6 , wherein in the second biodegradable resin composition, a content of polybutylene succinate (PBS) is equal to or less than 90 mass % and a content of poly (butylene succinate/adipate) (PBSA) is in a range from 10 mass % to 100 mass %.

8. A zipper-tape-equipped container comprising:

the zipper tape according to claim 1 ; and

a container body to which the zipper tape is bonded.

9. The zipper-tape-equipped container according to claim 8 , wherein the container body is in a form of a bag body.
