Abstract

Provided are a film for food packaging, capable of having excellent adhesion with a metal deposition layer and thus retaining moisture barrier property while having superior flexibility, transparency, and biodegradability, and a method for manufacturing the same.

Claims (9)

1. A method for manufacturing a shrinkable film, the method comprising:

a) preparing an unstretched film by melting and extruding 10-99 wt % of lactic acid and 1-90 wt % of aliphatic or aliphatic-aromatic polyester resin;

b) coating a water-dispersed polyurethane coating composition on one surface of the unstretched film through an in-line coating process;

c) uniaxially stretching the unstretched film coated with the water-dispersed polyurethane coating composition in the transverse direction (TD);

d) heat-treating the uniaxially stretched film at 50-100° C.; and

e) forming a metal deposition layer with a thickness of 200 Å-1000 Å on a polyurethane coating layer of the uniaxially stretched film.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the step a) further comprises performing rapid cooling through cooling rollers of 10-60° C., after the melting and extruding.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein in the step c), the stretching is performed at a stretching ratio of 3-6 times and 60-80° C.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the water-dispersed polyurethane coating composition comprising 0.5-1.0 wt % of polyurethane based binder resin, 0.01-0.5 wt % of a silicon based wetting agent, and the remainder water.
