Definitions
- the invention generally relates to compositions, articles and methods for scavenging by-products of an oxygen scavenging reaction.
- MAP modified atmosphere packaging
- Oxygen barrier films and laminates reduce or retard oxygen permeation from the outside environment into the package interior.
- oxygen scavengers are in the form of sachets which contain a composition which scavenges the oxygen through chemical reactions.
- sachets which contain iron compositions which oxidize.
- sa ⁇ chet contains unsaturated fatty acid salts on a particulate adsorbent.
- metal/ polyamide complex is another type of sachet.
- sachets One disadvantage of sachets is the need for additional packaging operations to add the sachet to each package.
- a further disadvantage arising from the use of some sachets is that certain atmospheric condi ⁇ tions (e.g., high humidity, low CO2 level) in the package are required in order for scavenging to occur at an adequate rate.
- Another means for limiting the exposure to oxygen involves incor ⁇ porating an oxygen scavenger into the packaging structure itself. This achieves a more uniform scavenging effect throughout the package. This may be specially important where there is restricted air circulation inside the package.
- incorporation can provide a means of intercepting and scavenging oxygen as it passes through the walls of the package (herein referred to as an "active oxygen barrier"), thereby maintaining the lowest possible oxygen level throughout the package.
- active oxygen barrier a means of intercepting and scavenging oxygen as it passes through the walls of the package.
- One attempt to prepare an oxygen-scavenging wall involves the incorporation of inorganic powders and/or salts.
- incorpora ⁇ tion of these powders and/or salts causes degradation of the wall's transparency and mechanical properties such as tear strength.
- these compounds can lead to processing difficulties, especially in the fabrication of thin films, or thin layers within a film structure.
- the scavenging rates for walls containing these compounds are unsuitable for some commercial oxygen- scavenging applications, e.g. such as those in which sachets are employed.
- Oxygen scavengers suitable for commercial use in films of the present invention are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,350,622, and a method of initiating oxygen scavenging generally is disclosed in U.S.
- oxygen scavengers are made of an ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon and transition metal catalyst.
- the preferred ethylenically unsaturated hy- drocarbon may be either substituted or unsubstituted.
- an unsubstituted ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon is any compound which possesses at least one aliphatic carbon-carbon double bond and comprises 100% by weight carbon and hydrogen.
- a substi ⁇ tuted ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon is defined herein as an ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon which possesses at least one aliphatic carbon-carbon double bond and comprises about 50% - 99% by weight carbon and hydrogen.
- Preferable substituted or unsubsti ⁇ tuted ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbons are those having two or more ethylenically unsaturated groups per molecule. More preferably, it is a polymeric compound having three or more ethylenically unsatu- rated groups and a molecular weight equal to or greater than 1,000 weight average molecular weight.
- unsubstituted ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbons include, but are not limited to, diene polymers such as polyisoprene, (e.g., trans-polyisoprene) and copolymers thereof, cis and trans 1,4-polybutadiene, 1,2-polybutadienes, (which are defined as those polybutadienes possessing greater than or equal to 50% 1 ,2 mi ⁇ cro structure), and copolymers thereof, such as styrene-butadiene co- polymer.
- diene polymers such as polyisoprene, (e.g., trans-polyisoprene) and copolymers thereof, cis and trans 1,4-polybutadiene, 1,2-polybutadienes, (which are defined as those polybutadienes possessing greater than or equal to 50% 1 ,2 mi ⁇ cro structure), and copolymers thereof, such as styrene-butadiene
- Such hydrocarbons also include polymeric compounds such as polypentenamer, polyoctenamer, and other polymers prepared by cyclic olefin metathesis; diene oligomers such as squalene; and poly ⁇ mers or copolymers with unsaturation derived from dicyclopentadiene, norbornadiene, 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene, 5-vinyl-2-norbornene, 4- vinylcyclohexene, or other monomers containing more than one carbon- carbon double bond (conjugated or non-conjugated).
- polymeric compounds such as polypentenamer, polyoctenamer, and other polymers prepared by cyclic olefin metathesis; diene oligomers such as squalene; and poly ⁇ mers or copolymers with unsaturation derived from dicyclopentadiene, norbornadiene, 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene, 5-vinyl-2-
- Preferred substituted ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbons in ⁇ clude, but are not limited to, those with oxygen -containing moieties, such as esters, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, ethers, ketones, alcohols, peroxides, and/ or hydroperoxides.
- oxygen -containing moieties such as esters, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, ethers, ketones, alcohols, peroxides, and/ or hydroperoxides.

- the composition used may also comprise a mixture of two or more of the substituted or unsubstituted ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbons described above. While a weight average molecular weight of 1 ,000 or more is preferred, an ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon having a lower molecular weight is usable, provided it is blended with a film- forming polymer or blend of polymers.
- ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbons which are appropriate for forming solid transparent layers at room tem ⁇ perature are preferred for scavenging oxygen in the packaging articles described above.
- a layer which allows at least 50% transmission of visible light is preferred.

- this polymer is found to retain its transparency and mechanical integrity even after most or all of its oxy ⁇ gen capacity has been consumed, and even when little or no diluent resin is present.
- 1,2-polybutadiene exhibits a relatively high oxygen capacity and, once it has begun to scavenge, it exhibits a relatively high scavenging rate as well.
- 1,4- polybutadiene, and copolymers of styrene with butadiene, and styrene with isoprene are especially preferred.
- Such compositions are disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 5,310,497 issued to Speer et al. on May 10, 1994 and incorporated herein by reference as if set forth in full. In many cases it may be desirable to blend the aforementioned polymers with a polymer or copolymer of ethylene.
