Publication number: 20140370314Abstract: The present invention provides as steam barrier resin, a steam barrier coating agent, a steam barrier film, and a steam barrier laminate that exhibit an improved steam barrier property. The steam barrier resin of the present invention is obtained by reacting a carboxylic acid group and/or an acid anhydride group of a copolymer (C) with an organometallic complex (D). The copolymer (C) is obtained by polymerizing an unsaturated hydrocarbon monomer (A) and an unsaturated carboxylic acid and/or an unsaturated dicarboxylic anhydride (B). Further, the steam barrier resin includes metal bridging between the copolymers (C). The steam barrier coating agent of the present invention contains the steam barrier resin and a solvent (B). The steam barrier film of the present invention is a film containing the steam barrier resin of the present invention. The steam barrier laminate is obtained by laminating the steam barrier film of the present invention on at least one surface of a substrate film.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 15, 2013Publication date: December 18, 2014Applicant: TOYO INK SC HOLDINGS CO., LTDInventors: Tohru Iwata, Kana Kida, Takenobu Nakano
