Abstract

A packaging bag has a bag body and an outlet joined to the bag body, in which the bag body includes, as a forming material, laminates each having at least a substrate layer, a first intermediate layer, and a sealant layer in this order, and has a bag shape formed by sticking the sealant layers to each other, the sealant layers being disposed opposite each other to define an internal side, the outlet is joined by being held between the opposite sealant layers, the first intermediate layer contains a polyethylene-based resin and a modified polyethylene-based resin, and the substrate layer includes a layer containing a fluorine-based resin as a forming material.

Claims (48)

1 . A packaging bag comprising:

a bag body; and

an outlet joined to said bag body,

wherein

said bag body includes, as a forming material, two laminates each having at least a substrate layer, a first intermediate layer, and a sealant layer in this order, and has a bag shape formed by sticking said sealant layers to each other, said sealant layers being disposed opposite each other to define an internal side,

said outlet is joined by being held between said opposite sealant layers,

said packaging bag has a first joining part at which each of said two laminates and said outlet are joined and a second joining part at which said two laminates are joined to each other,

said first intermediate layer contains a polyethylene-based resin and a modified polyethylene-based resin,

said substrate layer includes a layer containing-polychlorotrifluoroethylene as a forming material,

said sealant layer contains a cyclic olefin polymer, wherein a glass transition temperature of the cyclic olefin polymer is 100° C. or higher and 170° C. or lower,

said sealant layer is a layer facing an interior space of the packaging bag and contacting a content,

said outlet is a molded article consisting of a first molded body and a second molded body,

wherein

said first molded body consists of a cylindrical shape and has a flow passage for taking out the content in an interior thereof, and further has at least a part accommodated in the interior space of the packaging bag, wherein one end of said first molded body is disposed in the interior of the packaging bag and the other end of said first molded body is disposed outside the packaging bag,

said second molded body consists of a cylindrical shape, is formed on an external circumferential surface of said first molded body, and has a shorter length in an axial direction than said first molded body, and is not formed on the external circumferential surface of the part of said first molded body accommodated in the interior space,

said first molded body consists of a cyclic olefin-based resin as a forming material,

said second molded body consists of linear low-density polyethylene as a forming material,

each of said two laminates forming said bag body is joined with said second molded body of said outlet, and

said first joining part is formed by fusion of said sealant layer of each of said two laminates and said second molded body of said outlet.

2 . The packaging bag according to claim 1 , wherein said polyethylene-based resin is linear low-density polyethylene.

3 . The packaging bag according to claim 1 , wherein said modified polyethylene-based resin is maleic anhydride-modified polyethylene.

4 . The packaging bag according to claim 1 , comprising:

a surface resin layer; and

a second intermediate layer held between said substrate layer and said surface resin layer, on a surface on an external side of said substrate layer.

5 . The packaging bag according to claim 1 , wherein said sealant layer of each of said two laminates is in direct contact with said second molded body of said outlet.

6 . A packaging bag comprising:

a bag body; and

an outlet joined to said bag body,

wherein

said bag body includes, as a forming material, two laminates each having at least a substrate layer, a first intermediate layer, and a sealant layer in this order, and has a bag shape formed by sticking said sealant layers to each other, said sealant layers being disposed opposite each other to define an internal side,

said outlet is joined by being held between said opposite sealant layers,

said packaging bag has a first joining part at which each of said two laminates and said outlet are joined and a second joining part at which said two laminates are joined to each other,

said first intermediate layer contains a polyethylene-based resin, an elastomer component, and a component having an epoxy group,

said substrate layer includes a layer containing polychlorotrifluoroethylene as a forming material,

said sealant layer contains a cyclic olefin polymer, wherein a glass transition temperature of the cyclic olefin polymer is 100° C. or higher and 170° C. or lower,

said sealant layer is a layer facing an interior space of the packaging bag and contacting a content,

said outlet is a molded article consisting of a first molded body and a second molded body,

wherein

said first molded body consists of a cylindrical shape and comprises a flow passage for taking out the content in an interior thereof, and further has at least a part accommodated in the interior space of the packaging bag, wherein one end of said first molded body is disposed in the interior of the packaging bag and the other end of said first molded body is disposed outside the packaging bag,

said second molded body consists of a cylindrical shape, is formed on an external circumferential surface of said first molded body, and has a shorter length in an axial direction than said first molded body, and is not formed on the external circumferential surface of the part of said first molded body accommodated in the interior space,

said first molded body consists of a cyclic olefin-based resin as a forming material,

said second molded body consists of linear low-density polyethylene as a forming material,

each of said two laminates forming said bag body is joined with said second molded body of said outlet, and

said first joining part is formed by fusion of said sealant layer of each of said two laminates and said second molded body of said outlet.

7 . The packaging bag according to claim 6 , wherein said component having an epoxy group is a component in which epoxy has been introduced into 1,2-polybutadiene and has a number average molecular weight of 500 or more and 4,000 or less.

8 . The packaging bag according to claim 6 , wherein said elastomer component contains a styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene copolymer having a styrene content of 8% by mass or more and 24% by mass or less.

9 . The packaging bag according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of said layer containing polychlorotrifluoroethylene as a forming material is 20 μm or more and 60 μm or less.

10 . The packaging bag according to claim 6 , wherein said sealant layer of each of said two laminates is in direct contact with said second molded body of said outlet.
