Definitions
- the present invention relates to a label film for in-mold labeling (IML), and to a method for producing these label films and their use.
- IML in-mold labeling
- Label foils cover an extensive and technically complex area. A distinction is made between different labeling techniques, which are fundamentally different with regard to the process conditions and inevitably place different technical requirements on the label materials. All labeling processes have in common that the end result must be visually appealing labeled containers, in which good adhesion to the labeled container must be guaranteed.
- in-mold labeling A distinction is also made between in-mold labeling and different techniques, in which different process conditions are used. All in-mold labeling processes have in common that the label takes part in the actual shaping process of the container and is applied in the process. However, very different molding processes are used here, such as injection molding, blow molding and deep drawing.
- EP 0 61 1 102 B1 discloses a biaxially oriented polypropylene film which has a vacuole-containing base layer made of polypropylene homopolymer with an intermediate layer made of vacuole-free polypropylene homopolymer on one Surface and a printable outer layer on the vacuole-free polypropylene-flomopolymer intermediate layer comprises.
- the printable outer layer is formed from a polyolefin copolymer which is composed of ethylene, propylene, but-1-ene and higher a-olefins units.
- the inner layer and / or the vacuole-free layer further contains titanium dioxide.
- films are often metallized, for example to give the film barrier properties.
- the foils are also metallized only with a view to the visual impression.
- the consumer should get the impression of high-quality packaging without actually having a better barrier.
- label films are also metallized in some applications so that the labels underline and reinforce the impression of a high-quality product.
- the metallization of foils for in-mold labels is problematic.
- the additional metallization increases the cost of the label, since the metallization itself takes place in a separate processing step.
- the metal layer must be protected by lamination or a top coat.
- the foils When used as an in-mold label, the foils are cut, stacked, removed from the stack and inserted into the respective shape.
- the film cuts must not bulge.
- a certain charge of the film is important for the positioning of the label in the mold in order to position and close the label in the mold using electrostatic forces hold.
- the loading of the film ensures that the label adheres well to the mold until the container is molded by flinter spraying the label and the label becomes an integral part of the container.
- the foils are quickly discharged via the metal layer so that the label can no longer be adequately fixed using electrostatic forces. Therefore, in-mold labels made of metallized foils are more often positioned poorly or incorrectly in the form, so that the containers are sorted out as optically defective.
- an in-mold label made from a multilayer, biaxially oriented polypropylene film which comprises at least one vacuole-containing base layer and an outer cover layer and an inner cover layer and an outer intermediate layer, the outer intermediate layer containing platelet-shaped aluminum particles.
- the inner surface or inner cover layer is the surface or cover layer of the label film that is in contact with the container after labeling.
- the outer surface or outer cover layer is accordingly the opposite surface or the opposite cover layer of the film which is printed and after the Labeling is visible. Accordingly, the inner intermediate layer between the base layer and the inner cover layer and the outer intermediate layer between the base layer and the outer cover layer is attached.
- the finishing of the intermediate layer according to the invention with platelet-shaped aluminum particles gives the label a characteristic metallic appearance and the disadvantages of the metallization are avoided.
- the label can be positioned very well in the mold and shows a shimmering silver-colored metallic look after the injection molding of the container, which results from the combination of the vacuole-containing base layer and the pigmented intermediate layer.
- the metallic impression of the label is retained even after the label has come into contact with the hot melt.
- the result is a labeled container, in which the label is an integral part of the container and gives the impression of a high-quality metallized label.
- the intermediate layer which according to the invention contains aluminum particles, is referred to as “pigmented intermediate layer”
- the other properties for using the film as an in-mold label are also not impaired.
- the film can be easily printed with a wide variety of colors on the outer surface and the printed label can also be stacked and separated easily, the label shows no tendency to curl and the flow against the container is not impaired.
- a film is made available which can be processed to the label at very high speeds and which in the end leads to a perfectly labeled container with a high-quality label.
- the pigmented intermediate layer gives both glossy foils and matt designs the desired metallic look.
- Shiny embodiments have a thin cover layer made of propylene copolymers, propylene terpolymers and / or propylene homopolymers on the pigmented intermediate layer, the gloss emphasizing the metallic appearance of the surface. Surprisingly, the gloss is due to the pigmentation of the outer Intermediate layer less lowered than with pigmentation of the top layer.
- the outer cover layer is constructed from a mixture of incompatible polymers known per se which has a lower gloss.
- the combination with the pigmented intermediate layer leads to a special look, which emphasizes the orange-peel effect of the labels and shows a matt metallic appearance.

Furthermore, the inner intermediate layer and the outer intermediate layer can each independently of one another contain the customary additives described for the individual layers, such as antistatic agents, neutralizing agents, lubricants and / or stabilizers, and, if appropriate, pigments.
- Preferred polymers of the intermediate layers are isotactic propylene homopolymers with a melting point of 140 to 170 ° C, preferably from 150 to 165 ° C, and a melt flow index (measurement ISO 1 133 at 2.16 kg load and 230 ° C) from 1.0 to 10 g / 10 min, preferably from 1.5 to 6.5 g / 10 min.
- the n-heptane-soluble fraction of the polymer is generally 0.5 to 10% by weight, preferably 2 to 5% by weight, based on the starting polymer.

- Biaxial stretching can be carried out sequentially or simultaneously. Sequential stretching is generally carried out sequentially, with sequential biaxial stretching, in which stretching first lengthwise (in the machine direction) and then transversely (perpendicular to the machine direction) is preferred. The further description of the film production is based on the example of the preferred flat film extrusion with subsequent sequential stretching.
- the polymer or the polymer mixture of the individual layers is compressed and liquefied in an extruder, and the additives which may have been added may already be present in the polymer or in the polymer mixture.

- alternating voltage approximately 5 to 20 kV and 5 to 30 kHz
- the air above the film surface is ionized and reacts with the molecules of the film surface, so that polar deposits occur in the essentially non-polar polymer matrix.
