Definitions
- This invention relates to a pouch used in consumer packaging made from certain film structures useful for packaging flowable materials, for example liquids such as milk.
- U.S. Patent Nos.4,503,102 and 4,521 ,437 disclose the preparation of a polyethylene film for use in the manufacture of a disposable pouch for packaging of liquids such as milk.
- U.S. Patent No.4,503,102 discloses pouches made from a blend of a linear ethylene copolymer copolymerized from ethylene and an alpha-olefin at the C 4 to C 10 range and a ethyl ene-vinyI acetate polymer copolymerized from ethylene and vinyl acetate.
- the linear polyethylene copolymer has a density of from 0.916to 0.930 g/cm 3 and a melt index of from 0.3 to 2.0 g/10 minutes.
- the ethyl ene-vinyl acetate polymer has a weight ratio of ethylene to vinyl acetate from 2.2: 1 to 24: 1 and a melt index of from 0.2 to 10 g/10 minutes.
- the blend disclosed in U.S. Patent No.4,503,102 has a weight ratio of linear low density polyethylene to ethyl ene-vinyl acetate polymer of from 1.2: 1 to 4: 1.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,503,102 also discloses laminates having as a sealant film the aforementioned blend.
- U.S. Patent No.4,521,437 describes pouches made from a sealant film which is from 50 to 100 parts of a linear copolymer of ethylene and octene-1 having a density of from 0.916 to 0.930 g/cm 3 and a melt index of 0.3 to 2.0 g/10 minutes and from 0 to 50 parts by weight of at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of a linear copolymer of ethylene and a C 4 -C 10 -alpha-olefin having a density of from 0.916 to 0.930 g/cm 3 and a melt index of from 0.3 to 2.0 g/10 minutes, a high-pressure polyethylene having a density of from 0.916 to 0.924 g/cm 3 and a melt index of from 1 to 10 g/10 minutes and blends thereof.
- the sealant film disclosed in the U.S. Patent No. 4,521,437 is selected on the basis of providing (a) pouches with an M-test value substantially smaller, at the same film thickness, than that obtained for pouches made with film of a blend of 85 parts of a linear ethyl ene/butene-1 copolymer having a density of about 0.919 g/cm 3 and a melt index of about 0.75 g/10 minutes and 15 parts of a high pressure polyethylene having a density of about 0.918 g/cm 3 and a melt index of 8.5 g/10 minutes, or (b) an M(2)-test value of less than about 12 percent, for pouches having a volume of from greater than 1.3 to 5 liters, or (c) an M(1.3)-test value of less than about 5 percent for pouches having a volume of from 0.1 to 1.3 liters.
- the M, M(2) and M(1.3)- tests are defined pouch drop tests in U.S. Patent No.4,5
- the polyethylene pouches known in the prior art have some deficiencies.
- the problems associated with the prior art known films relate to the sealing properties and performance properties of the film for preparing pouches.
- prior art films made into pouches have a high incident of "leakers", i.e., seal defects sach as pinholes which develop at or near the seal in which flowable material, for example milk, escapes from the pouch.
- the seal and performance properties of the prior art films have been satisfactory, there is still a need in the industry for better seal and performance properties in films for manufacture of hermetically sealed pouches containing flowable materials. More particularly, there is a need for improved sealing properties of the film such as hot tack and heat seal initiation temperature in order to improve the processability of the film and to improve pouches made from the films.
- the line speed of known packaging equipment used for manufacturing pouches such as form, fill and seal machines, is currently limited by the sealing properties of the film used in the machines.
- Prior art polyethylene films have high hot tack seal initiation temperatures and a narrow sealing range. Therefore, the speed at which a form, fill and seal machine can produce a pouch is limited and, thus, the number of pouches produced on a form, fill and seal machine is limited. If the heat seal temperature range, where one could obtain strong seals, is broadened, then the speed of a form, fill and seal machine can be increased and, thus, the number of pouches produced can be increased. Until the present invention, many have attempted to broaden the heat seal temperature range of pouch film without success.
- One aspect of the present invention is directed to a pouch for the packaging of liquid consumer products, said pouch made from a film structure including at least one layer of an ultra low density polyethylene being a linear ethylene copolymer interpoiymerized from ethylene and at least one alpha-olefin in the range of C 3 -C 10 and having (1) a density of less than about 0.915 g/cm 3 , (2) a melt index of less than about 10.0 g/10 minutes and (3) (i) a hot tack or heat seal initiation temperature of less than about 100°C at a force of at least about 1 N/inch (39.4 N/m) or (ii) achieving a hot tack strength of at least 1 N/inch (39.4 N/m) at a seal bar temperature of about 110°C and at less than about 0.2 seconds using the DTC Hot Tack

- Another embodiment of the present invention is a pouch made from a three- layer coextruded film containing an outer layer and a core layer of linear low density polyethylene and an inner seal layer of the aforementioned ultra low density linear polyethylene.
- Another aspect of the present invention is a process for preparing the aforementioned pouch.
- the film structures for the pouches of the present invention have a better seal at lower sealing temperatures and shorter dwell times than currently obtainable with commercially available film.
- Use of the films for making pouches of the present invention in form, fill and seal machines leads to machine speeds higher than currently obtainable with the use of commercially available film.

- the pouch of the present invention for example as shown in Figures 1 and 2, for packaging flowable materials is manufactured from a monolayer film structure of a polymeric seal layer which is a polyethylene film layer, preferably, a polyethylene referred to hereinafter as "ultra low density polyethylene" ("ULDPE").
- ULDPE ultra low density polyethylene
- ATTANE TM Trademark of and commercially available from The Dow Chemical Company.
- the ULDPE of the present invention is generally a linear copolymer of ethylene with at least one ⁇ -olef in having from 3 to 10 carbon atoms, for example, the ULDPE maybe selected from ethylene-1-propylene, ethylene-1-butene, ethylene-1-pentene, ethylene-4-methyl-1-pentene, ethylene-1-hexene, ethylene-1-heptene, ethyl ene-1-octene and ethylene-1-decene copolymers, preferably ethyfene-1-octene copolymer.

- the film structure of the present invention achieves a hottack strength of at least about 1 N/inch (39.4 N/m) at a seal bar temperature of about 110°C and at less than about 0.2 seconds using the DTC Hot Tack Strength Method defined hereinbelow or achieves a heat seal strength of at least 1 1b f /inch (175 N/m) at a seal bar temperature of about 110°C and at less than 0.25 seconds using the DTC Heal Seal Strength Method defined hereinbelow.
- the film structure of the present invention also has a hottack or heat seal initiation temperature of less than about 100°C at a force of at least about 1 N/inch (39.4 N/m). It has been found that a seal made with the seal layer of the present invention has a higher strength at lower sealing temperatures than seals with a prior art polyethylene having higher densities. A high heat seal strength at low temperatures is important to allow conventional packaging equipment such as a vertical form, fill and seal machine to run at faster rates and to produce pouches with fewer leakers.
- ULDPE in a film structure for pouches of the present invention (1) provides a pouch that can be fabricated at a fast rate through a form, fill and seal machine and (2) provides a pouch package having few leakers, particularly when the pouch of the present invention is compared to pouches made with linear low density polyethylene, low density polyethylene or a combination thereof.

- Examples of commercially available VFFS machines include those
- VFFS machine is described in the following reference: F. C. Lewis, "Form-Fill-Seal," Packaging Encyclopedia, page 180, 1980.
- a sheet of the plastic film structure described herein is fed into a VFFS machine where the sheet is formed into a continuous tube in a tube-forming section.
- the tubular member is formed by sealing the longitudinal edges of the film together - either by lapping the plastic film and sealing the film using an inside/outside seal or by fin sealing the plasticfilm using an inside/inside seal.
- a sealing bar seals the tube transversely atone end being the bottom of the "pouch", and then the fill material, for example milk, is added to the "pouch.”
- the sealing bar then seals the top end of the pouch and either burns through the plasticfilm or cuts the film, thus, separating the formed completed pouch from the tube.
- the process of making a pouch with a VFFS machine is generally described in U.S. Patent Nos.4,503,102 and 4,521 ,437 incorporated herein by reference.
- the capacity ofthe pouches of the presentinvention may vary.
- the pouches may contain from 5 millilitersto 10 liters, preferably from 1 milliliterto 8 liters, and more preferably from 1 millil ⁇ ter to 5 liters of flowable material.
- the film structure for the pouch ofthe present invention has precisely controlled strength.
- the use ofthe film structure described in the present invention for making a pouch results in a stronger pouch, and, therefore, more preferably, the pouch contains fewer use- related leakers.

- the pouches ofthe present invention preferably have a failure rate of less than about 10 percent and more preferably less than about 7 percent.
- the polyethylene pouch of the present invention is a good alternative.
- the use ofthe polyethylene pouch for packaging consumer liquids such as milk has its advantages over containers used in the past: the glass bottle, paper carton, and high density polyethylene jug.
- the previously used containers consumed large amounts of natural resources in their manufacture, required a significant amount of space in landfill, used a large amount of storage space and used more energy in temperature control ofthe product (due to the heat transfer properties ofthe container).
- the polyethylene pouch ofthe present invention made of thin polyethylene film, used for liquid packaging, offers many advantages overthe containers used in the past.
- the polyethylene pouch (1) consumes less natural resources, (2) requires less space in a landfill, (3) can be recycled, (4) can be processed easily, (5) requires less storage space, (6) uses less energy for storage (heat transfer properties of package), (7) can be safely incinerated and (8) can be reused, for example, the empty pouch can be used for other applications such as freezer bags, sandwich bags, and general purpose storage bags.
- Erucamide, a slip agent; SiO 2 , an antiblock agent; and a processing aid were added to each of the resins described in Table I such that the final concentrations ofthe additives were as follows: 1200 ppm Erucamide; 2500 ppm SiO 2 (4000 ppm for the ULDPE coextruded products); and 900 ppm processing aid. Film structures were made at 2 mil (50.8 microns) and 3 mil (76.2 microns) target thickness.
- Film structures produced were subjected to physical testing to determine its various properties including:
- the present invention is illustrated by the following examples but is not to be limited thereby.
- Film samples described in Table II were made as a monolayer using a Macro blown film line.
- the extruder was 2-1/2 inches (6.4 cm) in diameter and had a 24: 1 L/D and a barrier screw with a Maddock mixing head.
- a 6 inch (15.2 cm) diameter die was used with a 40 mil (1,016 microns) die gap for the manufacture of the test films.
- the monolayer films shown in Table II were produced in the Macro blown film line using the following fabrication conditions:
- Comparative Sample 3 in Table VI is SCLAIRFILM SM-3 film (herein SM-3 Film) commercially available from DuPont Canada. Two 24-centi meters diameter x 38 centimeters x 3 mil (76.2 microns) rolls of SM-3 Film were tested concurrently with the fabricated films of the present invention as in Examples 5-24. A publication by DuPont Canada discloses that SM-3 Film has a density of 0.918 g/cm 3 .
- the pouches may be subjected to a wide variety of abuses. These include dropping ofthe pouch on the floor, dropping objects onto the pouch, picking the pouch up from one end and poking it with fingers or other objects. Performance Tests- puncture, dart drop test, Elmendorf tear and tensile-are intended to duplicate the type of abuse that the pouches would encounter during normal use. In general, the properties ofthe film structure forthe pouches ofthe present invention were as good, and in some cases better than, the properties of prior art films.
- the coefficient of friction (COF) property ofthe films generally ranged from 0.10 to 0.30.
- the film In order for a film to properly move over the forming collars in a vertical form, fill and seal machine, the film is required to have a specific COF range. If the COF is high, the film may be too tacky for the VFFS to pull the film over the forming collar. If the COF is low, the film may be too slippery and the pull belts may not be able to grip the film to pull it.
- the process of coextrusion advantageously allows for varying slip properties between the inside and outside ofthe film by varying the slip concentration in the independent film layers.
- the "2 percent secant modulus" property ofthe film structures is a measure of film stiffness.
- the stiffness of the film structures (2 percent secant modulus) is measured according to the method of ASTM-D882.
- a specific amount of stiffness in a film is required for use of the film for producing pouches. If too much stiffness is present in the film, the film could experience too much fold when pulled over the edge of the forming collar and forming tube of a VFFS. Excessive stiffness can cause the film to "hang-up" in the VFFS. On the other hand, if enough stiffness is not present in the film consumer problems are inevitable. For example, in milk packaging, a pouch is usually placed inside of a support container which holds the pouch upright with
- the film structures forthe pouches ofthe present invention advantageously have precisely controlled stiffness which is required forthe film structure to run through a VFFS.
- the stiffness ofthe film structure ofthe present invention is from 1,400 MPa machine direction (MDJ/1600 MPa cross direction (CD) to 2,100 MPa MD/2,500 MPa CD and preferably from 1,412 MPa MD/1,615 MPa CD to 2,050 MPa MD/2,358 MPa CD. If the film lacks stiffness, the film may become "bunched" inthe corners ofthe VFFS unit If the film is too stiff, the film will not bend properly forthe sealing of longitudinal edges.
- the stiffness ofthe strurture can be changed by using different polyethylene layers.
- the stiffness ofthe film could be altered.
- film Sample 7A had a MD 2 percent secant value of 1,891 MPa and film Sample 8A had a MD 2 percent secant value of 1,593 MPa.
- U LDPE as the sealing layer in a film structure forthe pouch ofthe present invention allows for the development of a designed structure with the appropriate amount of tear resistance, dart impact resistance, elongation and stiffness (2 percent secant).
- the hot tack strength ofthe 3 mil (76.2 microns) films was measured using the "DTC Hot Tack Test Method.”
- the "DTC Hot Tack Test Method” is a test method which measures the force required to separate a heat seal before the seal has had a chance to fully cool (crystallize). This simulates the filling of material into a pouch before the seal has had a chance to cool.
- the "DTC Hot Tack Test Method” is a test method using a DTC Hot Tack Tester Model #52D according to the following conditions:
- Hot Tack T i The "Hot Tack Seal Initiation Temperature" (Hot Tack T i ) shown in Table VIII is the lowest temperature at which a seal is formed. A seal force of 1.0 N/inch (39.4 N/m) was selected as the force required to form an adequate seal, and therefore, Hot Tack T i is found at a force of 1.0 N/inch (39.4 N/m).
- a low Hot Tack T i and a broad heat seal range is important for VFFS packaging.
- a low initiation temperature and a broad heat seal range allows the VFFS machine to run at faster line speeds by allowing the sealing jaws ofthe VFFS to close for short periods of time while still obtaining an adequate heat seal.
- the Hot Tack T i for 3 mil (76.2 microns) films in Table VIII shows that the coextruded films with Resin E in the seal layer showed the lowest Hot Tack T i (76.5°C) followed by films with Resin D in the sealing layer (86°C).
- the 3-layerand 2-layer coextruded films with an ULDPE in the sealing layer had the lowest temperature (105°C) at which the highest hot tack strength was achieved.
- Figures 6-8 illustrate the Hot Tack Seal Initiation Temperature and the temperature at which the maximum Hot Tack Strength was achieved for various film samples.
- the temperature between Hot Tack T i and the temperature of maximum Hot Tack Strength indicates the size ofthe hottack sealing range.
- Figures 6-8 shows that films with ULDPE as the sealing layer have a much larger sealing range than the LLDPE and/or LLDPE/LDPE blend films.
- Example 2 was carried out using the DTC Hot Tack Test Method described in Example 25 except that the temperature was held constant at 110°Cand the sealing time was varied from 0.1 second to 1 second. Only 3 mil (76.2 microns) films were tested.
- Tables VIll and IX show that fiIms made with U LDPE in the sealing Iayer have higher hot tack strengths for shorter sealing times than the comparative samples tested at 110°C.
- the heat seal strength of the 3 mil (76.2 microns) films was measured using the "DTC Heat Seal Strength Test Method.”
- the "Heat Seal Strength Test Method” is a test method which measures the force required to separate a seal after the material has cooled to 23°C temperature. The film samples were exposed to a relative humidity of 50 percent and a temperature of 23°C for a minimum of 24 hours prior to testing.
- the "DTC Heat Seal Strength Test Method” is a test method using a DTC Hot Tack Tester Model #52D, wherein the heat seal portion ofthe tester is used, according to the following conditions:
- the seal strength of the film samples was determined using an Instron Tensile Tester Model #1122 according to the following test conditions:
- the monolayer films were tested inside/inside, while the coextruded films were tested inside/inside and inside/outside.
- Heat Seal T i The “Heat Seal Initiation Temperature” (“Heat Seal T i ”) shown in Table X is the lowest temperature at which a seal is formed. A seal force of 1.0 Ibf/inch (175 N/m) was selected as the force required to form an adequate seal, and therefore, Heat Seal T i is found at a force of 1.0 lb/in (175 N/m).
- a low Heat Seal T i and a broad heat seal range is important for VFFS packaging.
- a low initiation temperature and a broad heat seal range allows the VFFS machine to run at faster line speeds by allowing the sealing jaws of the VFFS to close for short periods of time while still obtaining an adequate heat seal.
- the films with Resin E in the sealing layer had the lowest Heat Seal T i and the LLDPE had the highest Heat Seal T i .
- the Heat Seal T i results were very similar to the Hot Tack T i results.
- Example 2 was carried out using the DTC Hot Seal Test Method described in Example 27 except that the temperature was held constant at 110°C and the sealing time was varied from 0.1 second to 1 second. Only 3 mil (76.2 microns) films were tested.
- the heat seal portion of the DTC Hot Tack #52 D Tester Model was used.
- the conditions on the DTC Hot Tack Tester Model #52D were as follows:
- the seal strength was determined using an Instron Tensile Tester Model No. 1122. The film samples were exposed to a relative humidity of 50 percent and a temperature of 23°C for a minimum of 24 hours prior to testing. The following were the test conditions:
- Examples 25-28 illustrate that the use of ULDPE in the sealing layer of a film structure ofthe present invention is found to significantly increase the heat seal and hot tack range. The wider range of heat seal and hot tack would allow for faster line speeds on a VFFS unit.
- a Hayssen Ultima VFFS unit was used to make 2L water-filled pouches with a lay flatdimension of 7 inches (17.8 centimeters) x 12.5 inches (31.8 centimeters) for drop testing.
- the following conditions were used on the Hayssen Ultima VFFS unit: Model Number: RCMB2-PRA
- Registration rolls on from 5° to 135°
- a Pro/Fill 3000 liquid filler was attached to the VFFS.
- the settings on the Pro/Fill 3000 were:
- the number of pouches tested by the Milk Pouch Drop Test is shown in Table XII.
- the number of pouches tested by the Step Stair Drop Test was 25 for all samples.
- the SM-3 Film was found to have a "50 percent failure height" of about 9.1 feet (2.73 m) as shown in Table XII.
- the 3 mil (76.2 microns) films made with ULDPE had "50 percent failure heights" greaterthan 13 feet (4 m). Since 13 feet (4 m) was the maximum height that the pouches could be safely dropped, 25 pouch samples were dropped from a height of 13 feet (4 m) and the percent failure at 13 feet (4 m) was determined.
- the 2 mil (50.8 microns) LLDPE/LDPE pouch (Comparative Sample 2B) had the lowest "50 percent failure height", while the ULDPE coextruded films had higher "50 percent failure heights”. All of the film failures were film related as opposed to seal related.
- Example 29 shows that water filled pouches made with ULDPE in the sealing layer are found to have a low failure rate in the Milk Pouch Drop Test, and a high "50 percent failure height" in the Step Stair Drop Test.
- coextruded films forthe pouches of the present invention having a heat seal layer comprised of an ULDPE provide a broader sealing range for pouch conversion and provide physical properties in finished pouches such that the pouches have a reduced failure rate.
