【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、機械的強度、酸素ガスバリヤー性、湿熱寸法安定性に優れ、押出しラミ時に印刷図柄ズレが小さく、製袋時にS字カールが小さい2軸延伸ポリアミド系多層フィルムに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
ナイロン6、ナイロン66、ナイロン6−66共重合体等からなる2軸延伸ポリアミドフィルムは、機械的強度、耐熱性に優れるため、食品、薬品等の包装用に多用されている。しかしながら酸素ガスバリヤー性が充分でないために、適用される用途に制限があった。
このため、酸素ガスバリヤー性改善に関する種々の提案がされてきた。例えば特開平7−89025号公報で、脂肪族系ポリアミド樹脂に非晶質系ポリアミド樹脂及び/又は芳香族系ポリアミド樹脂を含有してなる混合ポリアミド層(A)と、芳香族系ポリアミド樹脂からなる芳香族系ポリアミド層(B)とが、(A)/(B)/(A)の順序で積層されてなるポリアミド系多層フィルムを本発明者らは開示した。これは、脂肪族系ポリアミド樹脂の持つ優れた機械的強度、耐ピンホール性と、芳香族系ポリアミド樹脂の持つ湿度依存性の少ない優れた酸素ガスバリヤー性とを兼ね備えたフィルムを狙いとしたものである。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながらこのフィルムは、その後、使用形態によっては以下の点で不充分であることが判った。即ち、このフィルムを用いて仕上げた3方シール袋や合掌シール袋は往々にして印刷図柄ズレが発生し易く、また製袋機による製袋時にS字カールが発生し易いという点である。この現象は、前記した層構成を(B)/(A)/(B)とすると改善の効果は見られるもののまだまだ不充分なものであった。
印刷図柄ズレとは、3方シールや合掌シールによって得た袋の表面と裏面との印刷の図柄がずれることをいう。これが大きいと、袋の見栄えが悪くなり商品価値を落とす。
S字カールとは、3方シールや合掌シールによって得た袋がS字形にねじ曲がった状態になっていることをいう(図3)。S字カールが大きいと、自動給袋機で袋を開口することができなくなり、従って、中味商品を充填することができなくなる。
【0004】
本発明が解決しようとする課題は、優れた機械的強度、耐ピンホール性、湿度依存性のない優れた酸素ガスバリヤー性を有しつつ、湿熱寸法安定性に優れ、印刷図柄ズレが小さく、S字カールが小さいポリアミド系フィルムを提供することにある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記の課題を解決する手段として、両外層が下記芳香族ポリアミドXを主成分とする層からなり、中間層として下記脂肪族ポリアミドYを主成分とする層を含む多層フィルムであって、両外層の厚みの合計に対し、中間層の厚みをその0.5〜4倍、120℃におけるL方向とS方向の熱収縮率が共に7%以下、L方向とS方向の熱収縮率の比が1.6〜1.0の範囲にある2軸延伸ポリアミド系多層フィルム。
芳香族ポリアミドXが、ポリメタキシリレンアジパミドである。
脂肪族ポリアミドYが、脂肪族ポリアミドに変性エチレンー酢酸ビニル共重合体と非晶性ポリアミド及び/又は芳香族ポリアミドを含有してなる混合ポリアミドである。ことを特徴とする。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明の実施の形態を以下に詳述する。
【0008】
本発明の芳香族ポリアミドとは、主鎖に芳香族環を有する構造の樹脂をいい、特に限定するものではない。例えば、m−及び/又はp−キシリレンジアミンと炭素数が4〜12のジカルボン酸とからなるポリアミドやそれらの混合物が例示できる。湿度依存性のないより優れた酸素ガスバリヤー性、優れた低吸水量、低透湿性という点からは、とりわけポリメタキシリレンアジパミドが好ましい。
芳香族ポリアミドには酸素ガスバリヤー性を大幅に低下しない程度に、目的に応じその他の樹脂や各種添加剤、例えば、ポリオレフィン樹脂、アンチブロッキング剤、滑剤、帯電防止剤、紫外線吸収剤等を混合してもよい。
【0009】
脂肪族ポリアミドとは、主鎖または側鎖に芳香族環を有しないものであれば特に限定するものではない。例えば、ナイロン6、ナイロン66、ナイロン610、やナイロン6−66、ナイロン6ー610等の共重合体、あるいはそれらの混合物が例示できる。より優れた機械的強度という点からは、とりわけナイロン6が好ましい。
脂肪族ポリアミドには機械的強度を大幅に低下しない程度に、目的に応じその他の樹脂や各種添加剤等を混合してもよい。
【0010】
脂肪族ポリアミドは延伸性がよいとは言えないが、これに前記した芳香族ポリアミド及び/又は非晶性ポリアミドを混合すると延伸性の改善が見られる。非晶性ポリアミドとは、結晶性がないか、あるいは結晶性の乏しいポリアミドをいい、特に限定するものではない。例えばテレフタル酸、イソフタル酸等のジカルボン酸とヘキサメチレンジアミン、4,4’−ジアミノ−ジシクロヘキシレンプロパン等のジアミンとの共重合体や3元共重合体が例示できる。
【0011】
混合される芳香族ポリアミド及び/又は非晶性ポリアミドの量は脂肪族ポリアミド100重量部に対し、50〜2重量部、好ましくは30〜10重量部である。50重量部を超えると、脂肪族ポリアミドの有する機械的強度を阻害する傾向にあり、2重量部未満では延伸性の改善効果が小さくなる。
【0012】
本発明のフィルムは、120℃におけるL方向とS方向の熱収縮率が共に7%以下、L方向とS方向の熱収縮率の比が1.6〜1.0、好ましくは熱収縮率が共に6%以下、熱収縮率の比が1.5〜1.0、さらに好ましくは熱収縮率が共に5%以下、熱収縮率の比が1.3〜1.0である。
熱収縮率が7%を超えると、湿熱寸法安定性が充分あるとは言い難い。熱収縮率の比が1.6を超えると、押出しラミ時に印刷図柄ズレが大きくなり、製袋時にS字カールが大きくなり、好ましくない。
【0013】
印刷図柄ズレは、図1で示す2軸延伸ポリアミド系多層フィルムのL方向とS方向の熱収縮率に差がある場合に発生する(熱収縮率の大きい方をL方向、小さい方をS方向とする)。
印刷図柄ズレのメカニズムを図2に基づいて説明する。図2(イ)は、フィルムに長方形の図柄を印刷した印刷上がり状態を示す。次いで、フィルムが熱(例えば押出しラミ時に受ける熱)を受けると、熱収縮を起こす。この時、L方向とS方向の熱収縮率に差があると、印刷図柄は矩形となる(図2(ロ))。次いで、3方シール時または合掌シール時に、フィルムの左右端同士が重ね合わされるので図柄ズレが発生することになる(図2(ハ))。
なお、印刷図柄ズレは、前記した熱と共に、フィルムの吸湿量(即ち加工場の温湿度)が大きくなると、さらに大きくなる傾向にある。これは吸湿によりフィルムがさらにひずみやすくなるからである。
印刷図柄ズレに対し好適な熱収縮率の比は、前記した如き範囲である。
【0014】
S字カールもL方向とS方向の熱収縮率に差がある場合に発生する。即ち、ヒートシール時にシール部のフィルムは熱を受けて収縮するが、前記印刷図柄ズレで説明したのと同じ理由から、袋の表面と裏面とでひずんだ収縮応力が発生するためである。
S字カールに対し好適な熱収縮率の比は、前記した如き範囲である。
【0015】
熱収縮率と熱収縮率の比が前記の範囲内にあるフィルムは、延伸条件他、適正なフィルム製造条件を選定することによっても得られるが、以下の3条件を満たすことによって、公知の逐次2軸延伸法または同時2軸延伸法で容易に製造することができる。
即ち第1の条件は、フィルムの層構成を、芳香族ポリアミドを主成分とする層を両外層とし、脂肪族ポリアミドを主成分とする層を中間層とすることである。
【0016】
第2の条件は、層の厚み構成を、両外層の厚みの合計に対し、中間層の厚みをその0.5〜4倍、好ましくは1〜2倍の範囲内にすることである。0.5倍未満では、機械的強度を維持するためにはフィルムのトータル厚みを厚くする必要があるので好ましくない傾向にある。4倍を超えると熱収縮率と熱収縮比を所定の範囲に収めることが難しくなる傾向にある。
なお両外層の厚みは違っていてもよいが、フィルムのカールという点からは厚みが同じの方がより好ましい。
【0017】
第3の条件は、脂肪族ポリアミドに変性エチレンー酢酸ビニル共重合体を混合することである。
混合される変性エチレンー酢酸ビニル共重合体の量は、脂肪族ポリアミド100重量部に対し、25〜2重量部、好ましくは15〜3重量部である。25重量部を超えると、脂肪族ポリアミドの有する機械的強度を阻害する傾向にあり、2重量部未満では熱収縮率と熱収縮率の比を所定の範囲に収めることが難しくなる傾向にある。
変性エチレンー酢酸ビニル共重合体に代えて、エチレンとアクリル酸、メタクリル酸、及びそのエステル等その他のビニル化合物との共重合体を、マレイン酸、フマル酸、その他の不飽和カルボン酸またはそれらの無水物で変性したものも効果は認められるものの、変性エチレンー酢酸ビニル共重合体よりは効果が小さい。
【0018】
なお、脂肪族ポリアミドにはさらに、前記したように非晶性ポリアミド及び/又は芳香族ポリアミドを混合するのがより好ましい。
【0019】
前記3つの条件の作用は定かではないが恐らくは、比較的低い延伸応力で延伸される芳香族ポリアミド層と比較的高い延伸応力で延伸される脂肪族ポリアミド層の延伸性を近づけることによって、熱収縮率と熱収縮率の比が改善されるのではないかと思われる。
即ち第1の条件は、脂肪族ポリアミド層は延伸時に芳香族ポリアミド層を通して熱を受けるので、より均一な熱を受けることになり、従ってより均一な延伸に効果がある。
第2の条件は、芳香族ポリアミド層と脂肪族ポリアミド層の厚みをあまりかけ離れたものにしては両者の延伸応力の差からしてよくないということである。
第3の条件は、変性エチレンー酢酸ビニル共重合体が脂肪族ポリアミド層の延伸応力を下げる効果がある。(延伸応力の低下度合いは、変性エチレンー酢酸ビニル共重合体の混合量からは予想を超えるほどであるので、脂肪族ポリアミドの水素結合に何らかの作用をしているのではないかと考えられる。)
【0020】
本発明のフィルムは、芳香族ポリアミド層と脂肪族ポリアミド層との間に、エチレンー酢酸ビニル共重合体ケン化物層、変性ポリオレフィン層等目的に応じ他の樹脂層を設けてもよい。
また、一方の芳香族ポリアミド層の上に変性ポリオレフィン層及び/又はヒートシール層(ポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン等)とを設けて、ヒートシール性のあるフィルムとしてもよい。
【0021】
本発明のフィルムは、一般には、ドライラミ、押出しラミ(サンドラミも含む)等公知の方法によって、ヒートシール性フィルムと貼合して使用される。
【0022】

 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
 The present invention relates to a biaxially stretched polyamide-based multilayer film that is excellent in mechanical strength, oxygen gas barrier property, and wet heat dimensional stability, has a small printed pattern deviation at the time of extrusion lamination, and has a small S-curl at the time of bag making.
 [0002]
 [Prior art]
 Biaxially stretched polyamide films made of nylon 6, nylon 66, nylon 6-66 copolymer, and the like are widely used for packaging foods, drugs, and the like because of their excellent mechanical strength and heat resistance. However, since the oxygen gas barrier property is not sufficient, there is a limit to the application used.
 For this reason, various proposals for improving oxygen gas barrier properties have been made. For example, in JP-A-7-89025, a mixed polyamide layer (A) comprising an aliphatic polyamide resin containing an amorphous polyamide resin and / or an aromatic polyamide resin, and an aromatic polyamide resin. The present inventors disclosed a polyamide-based multilayer film in which an aromatic polyamide layer (B) is laminated in the order of (A) / (B) / (A). This is aimed at a film that combines the excellent mechanical strength and pinhole resistance of aliphatic polyamide resins with the excellent oxygen gas barrier properties of aromatic polyamide resins that are less dependent on humidity. It is.
 [0003]
 [Problems to be solved by the invention]
 However, this film was later found to be insufficient in the following points depending on the usage form. That is, a three-side seal bag or a joint seal bag finished using this film is likely to cause printing pattern displacement, and to easily generate S-curl when a bag is produced by a bag making machine. This phenomenon was still insufficient when the above-described layer structure was (B) / (A) / (B), although an improvement effect was seen.
 The printed design misalignment means that the printed design on the front surface and the back surface of the bag obtained by the three-way seal or the joint seal is shifted. If this is large, the bag looks bad and the value of the product is reduced.
 The S-curl means that the bag obtained by the three-way seal or the joint seal is bent into an S-shape (FIG. 3). If the S-curl is large, the bag cannot be opened by the automatic bag feeder, and therefore, the content product cannot be filled.
 [0004]
 The problems to be solved by the present invention are excellent mechanical strength, pinhole resistance, excellent oxygen gas barrier properties without humidity dependence, excellent in wet heat dimensional stability, and small in print pattern misalignment, The object is to provide a polyamide film having a small S-curl.
 [0005]
 [Means for Solving the Problems]
 As a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, both outer layers are composed of layers mainly comprising the following aromatic polyamide X, and are multilayer films comprising a layer mainly comprising the following aliphatic polyamide Y as an intermediate layer, The thickness of the intermediate layer is 0.5 to 4 times the total thickness, the heat shrinkage rate in the L direction and the S direction at 120 ° C. is 7% or less, and the ratio of the heat shrinkage rate in the L direction and the S direction is A biaxially stretched polyamide-based multilayer film in the range of 1.6 to 1.0.
 Aromatic polyamide X is polymetaxylylene adipamide.
 The aliphatic polyamide Y is a mixed polyamide comprising an aliphatic polyamide containing a modified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, an amorphous polyamide and / or an aromatic polyamide. It is characterized by that.
 [0007]
 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
 Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below.
 [0008]
 The aromatic polyamide of the present invention refers to a resin having a structure having an aromatic ring in the main chain, and is not particularly limited. Examples thereof include polyamides composed of m- and / or p-xylylenediamine and dicarboxylic acids having 4 to 12 carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof. Polymetaxylylene adipamide is particularly preferred from the viewpoints of superior oxygen gas barrier properties that are not dependent on humidity, excellent low water absorption, and low moisture permeability.
 To the aromatic polyamide, other resins and various additives such as polyolefin resins, antiblocking agents, lubricants, antistatic agents, ultraviolet absorbers and the like are mixed depending on the purpose so that the oxygen gas barrier property is not significantly lowered. May be.
 [0009]
 The aliphatic polyamide is not particularly limited as long as it does not have an aromatic ring in the main chain or side chain. For example, a copolymer such as nylon 6, nylon 66, nylon 610, nylon 6-66, nylon 6-610, or a mixture thereof can be exemplified. Nylon 6 is particularly preferable from the viewpoint of superior mechanical strength.
 The aliphatic polyamide may be mixed with other resins, various additives, and the like depending on the purpose to such an extent that the mechanical strength is not significantly reduced.
 [0010]
 Aliphatic polyamides cannot be said to have good stretchability, but when the above-mentioned aromatic polyamide and / or amorphous polyamide is mixed with this, improvement in stretchability is observed. Amorphous polyamide refers to a polyamide having no crystallinity or poor crystallinity, and is not particularly limited. Examples thereof include copolymers and terpolymers of dicarboxylic acids such as terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid and diamines such as hexamethylenediamine and 4,4′-diamino-dicyclohexylenepropane.
 [0011]
 The amount of the aromatic polyamide and / or amorphous polyamide to be mixed is 50 to 2 parts by weight, preferably 30 to 10 parts by weight with respect to 100 parts by weight of the aliphatic polyamide. If it exceeds 50 parts by weight, the mechanical strength of the aliphatic polyamide tends to be impaired, and if it is less than 2 parts by weight, the effect of improving stretchability becomes small.
 [0012]
 The film of the present invention has a heat shrinkage rate of 7% or less in both the L direction and the S direction at 120 ° C., the ratio of the heat shrinkage rate in the L direction and the S direction is 1.6 to 1.0, preferably the heat shrinkage rate. Both are 6% or less and the ratio of heat shrinkage is 1.5 to 1.0, more preferably the heat shrinkage is both 5% or less and the ratio of heat shrinkage is 1.3 to 1.0.
 If the heat shrinkage rate exceeds 7%, it is difficult to say that the wet heat dimensional stability is sufficient. If the ratio of heat shrinkage ratio exceeds 1.6, the printed pattern deviation increases during extrusion lamination, and the S-curl increases during bag making, which is not preferable.
 [0013]
 Print pattern misalignment occurs when there is a difference in heat shrinkage between the L direction and the S direction of the biaxially stretched polyamide multilayer film shown in FIG. 1 (the larger heat shrinkage is in the L direction and the smaller heat shrinkage is in the S direction). And).
 The mechanism of printing pattern deviation will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 2 (a) shows a printed state in which a rectangular pattern is printed on a film. Then, when the film receives heat (for example, heat received during extrusion lamination), heat shrinkage occurs. At this time, if there is a difference between the heat shrinkage rates in the L direction and the S direction, the printed pattern becomes rectangular (FIG. 2 (b)). Next, when the three-way seal or the palm seal is used, the left and right ends of the film are overlapped with each other, so that a design shift occurs (FIG. 2 (C)).
 In addition, the printed design deviation tends to become larger as the moisture absorption amount of the film (that is, the temperature and humidity of the processing place) increases with the heat described above. This is because the film becomes more easily distorted by moisture absorption.
 The ratio of the heat shrinkage rate suitable for the printed pattern deviation is in the range as described above.
 [0014]
 S-curl also occurs when there is a difference in heat shrinkage between the L direction and the S direction. That is, the film of the sealing portion receives heat and shrinks during heat sealing, but for the same reason as described in the printed design deviation, a distorted shrinking stress is generated between the front surface and the back surface of the bag.
 The ratio of the heat shrinkage rate suitable for the S-curl is in the range as described above.
 [0015]
 A film in which the ratio of the heat shrinkage rate and the heat shrinkage rate is within the above range can be obtained by selecting appropriate film manufacturing conditions in addition to the stretching conditions. It can be easily produced by a biaxial stretching method or a simultaneous biaxial stretching method.
 That is, the first condition is that the layer structure of the film is such that a layer mainly composed of aromatic polyamide is used as both outer layers and a layer mainly composed of aliphatic polyamide is used as an intermediate layer.
 [0016]
 The second condition is that the thickness of the intermediate layer is 0.5 to 4 times, preferably 1 to 2 times that of the total thickness of both outer layers. If it is less than 0.5 times, the total thickness of the film needs to be increased in order to maintain the mechanical strength, which tends to be undesirable. When it exceeds 4 times, it tends to be difficult to keep the heat shrinkage ratio and the heat shrinkage ratio within a predetermined range.
 The outer layers may have different thicknesses, but the same thickness is more preferable from the viewpoint of curling the film.
 [0017]
 The third condition is to mix the modified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer with the aliphatic polyamide.
 The amount of the modified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer to be mixed is 25 to 2 parts by weight, preferably 15 to 3 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by weight of the aliphatic polyamide. When the amount exceeds 25 parts by weight, the mechanical strength of the aliphatic polyamide tends to be inhibited. When the amount is less than 2 parts by weight, the ratio of the heat shrinkage rate and the heat shrinkage rate tends to be difficult to be within a predetermined range.
 Instead of a modified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, a copolymer of ethylene and other vinyl compounds such as acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, and esters thereof may be treated with maleic acid, fumaric acid, other unsaturated carboxylic acids or their anhydrides. Although the effect is also observed with a modified product, it is less effective than the modified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer.
 [0018]
 In addition, it is more preferable to mix the amorphous polyamide and / or the aromatic polyamide as described above with the aliphatic polyamide.
 [0019]
 Although the action of the above three conditions is not clear, it is likely that heat shrinkage is achieved by bringing the aromatic polyamide layer stretched with a relatively low stretching stress closer to the stretchability of an aliphatic polyamide layer stretched with a relatively high stretching stress. It seems that the ratio between the rate of heat shrinkage and the rate of heat shrinkage is improved.
 That is, the first condition is that the aliphatic polyamide layer receives heat through the aromatic polyamide layer at the time of stretching, so that it receives more uniform heat, and is therefore effective in more uniform stretching.
 The second condition is that the thickness of the aromatic polyamide layer and that of the aliphatic polyamide layer are not so different from each other due to the difference in stretching stress between them.
 The third condition is that the modified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer has the effect of reducing the stretching stress of the aliphatic polyamide layer. (The degree of reduction in stretching stress is more than expected from the amount of the modified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer mixed, so it is thought that it may have some effect on the hydrogen bonding of the aliphatic polyamide.)
 [0020]
 In the film of the present invention, another resin layer such as an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer saponified layer or a modified polyolefin layer may be provided between the aromatic polyamide layer and the aliphatic polyamide layer according to the purpose.
 Alternatively, a modified polyolefin layer and / or a heat seal layer (polyethylene, polypropylene, or the like) may be provided on one aromatic polyamide layer to form a heat sealable film.
 [0021]
 The film of the present invention is generally used by being bonded to a heat-sealable film by a known method such as dry lamination, extrusion lamination (including sand lamination).
 [0022]
 【Example】
 Next, typical examples of the present invention will be described.
 [0023]
 The physical property values used in the present invention are measured as follows.
 [0024]
 The heat shrinkage ratio is the length x (mm) in the L direction and the length y (in the S direction) after the film is cut in the L direction × S direction = 100 × 100 (mm) and treated in a retort kettle at 120 ° C. for 30 minutes. mm) was measured, and 100-x was the heat shrinkage rate in the L direction, and 100-y was the heat shrinkage rate in the S direction. (However, x ≦ y)
 [0025]
 The ratio of the heat shrinkage rate in the L direction and the S direction is a value obtained by dividing 100-x by 100-y.
 [0026]
 For the S-curl degree, the completed bag was placed on a horizontal base, and the distance (mm) between the most lifted bag end and the base was defined as the S-curl degree.
 [0027]
 The degree of printing pattern deviation a is the film width of the biaxially stretched polyamide-based multilayer film c (mm), and the printing pattern deviation b (mm) of the bag obtained from this film is a numerical value obtained by the following formula 1, It was set as the degree of printing pattern misalignment.

 Amorphous polyamide (polymetaxylylene adipamide) (A) and aliphatic polyamide (nylon 6) 100 parts by weight Amorphous nylon (terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, hexamethylenediamine terpolymer) 15 parts The mixed polyamide (B) mixed with 10 parts of maleic anhydride-modified ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer was coextruded from the T die at 260 ° C. in the order of (A) / (B) / (A). , Taken by a cooling roll, stretched 3.0 times in the machine direction at 80 ° C, stretched 3.5 times in the transverse direction at 120 ° C, and annealed while relaxing 6% at 210 ° C in the tenter, Subsequently, one side of the film was subjected to corona discharge treatment at a treatment strength of 15 W · min / m2 to obtain a biaxially stretched polyamide three-layer film. The total thickness of the film was 15 μm, and the thickness of each layer was (A) / (B) / (A) = 3/9/3 μm. The physical properties of the obtained film are shown in Table 1.
 [0030]
 (Example 2)
 The film obtained in Example 1 was slit to a width of 780 mm, and then the gravure printing of the pattern shown in FIG. 4 was performed on the corona-treated surface side. Next, a biaxially stretched polyamide three-layer film and an L-LDPE film (thickness 50 μm) were placed at 350 ° C. using LDPE with the printing surface on the inside (workplace environment was room temperature 30 ° C., humidity 80 % RH) to obtain a biaxially stretched polyamide-based three-layer film / LDPE / L-LDPE composite film (total thickness 77 μm).
 [0031]
 (Example 3)
 Using the composite film obtained in Example 2, a three-way seal of length × width = 220 × 185 mm using a two-sided three-way sealing machine having a seal bar temperature of 150 ° C. in the vertical direction and a seal bar temperature of 150 ° C. in the horizontal direction. I got a bag. The S-curl degree of this bag was less than 1 mm (approximately 0 mm), and the printed pattern deviation degree was 0.2 mm.
 [0032]
 (Comparative Example 1)
 Amorphous polyamide (polymetaxylylene adipamide) (A) and aliphatic polyamide (nylon 6) 100 parts by weight Amorphous nylon (terephthalic acid, isophthalic acid, hexamethylenediamine terpolymer) 8 weight The mixed polyamide (B ′) in which the parts are mixed is in the order of (B ′) / (A) / (B ′), and the thickness of each layer is set to (B ′) / (A) / (B ′ ) = 4.5 / 6 / 4.5 μm In the same manner as in Example 1, a biaxially stretched polyamide three-layer film was obtained. The physical properties of the obtained film are shown in Table 1.
 [0033]
 (Comparative Example 2)
 A composite film was obtained in the same manner as in Example 2 using the film obtained in Comparative Example 1. Next, using this composite film, a three-side sealed bag was obtained in the same manner as in Example 3. The S-curl degree of this bag was 4 mm, and the printed pattern deviation degree was 3 mm.
 [0034]
 【The invention's effect】
 The present invention is implemented in the form as described in detail above, and has the effects described below.
 [0035]
 Since the biaxially stretched polyamide-based multilayer film of the present invention includes a layer mainly composed of an aliphatic polyamide, it is excellent in mechanical strength. Further, since it includes a layer mainly composed of aromatic polyamide, it has excellent oxygen gas barrier properties and is not dependent on humidity.
 [0036]
 Since both outer layers are layers mainly composed of an aromatic polyamide having a low water absorption and low moisture permeability, the wet heat dimensional stability is excellent.
 [0037]
 The printed pattern is small, so the resulting bag looks good. Furthermore, since the S-curl is small, no opening mistake occurs in the automatic bag feeder.
