Abstract: A preform is easily and speedily sterilized. A number of preforms (1), each having a bottomed tubular shape, are laid on a conveyer (4) in a scraggly overturned manner, these preforms passes inside a chamber (5) together with the conveyer, and hydrogen peroxide water mist is sprayed from both sides of the conveyer in a direction crossing the conveyer in the chamber, thereby adhering the sprayed hydrogen peroxide water to inner and outer surfaces of the preforms (1) on the conveyer (4).

Abstract: There are provided a gas barrier laminated film, which is transparent while possessing excellent gas barrier properties and, at the same time, has excellent impact resistance, and a process for producing the same. The gas barrier laminated film comprises a base material, a vapor deposited film of an inorganic oxide provided on the base material, and a gas barrier coating film provided on the vapor deposited film. The gas barrier laminated film is characterized in that the base material on its side where the vapor deposited film is provided, has been subjected to pretreatment or primer coating treatment, and the gas barrier coating film has been formed by coating a gas barrier coating liquid onto the inorganic oxide film and then heating the coating.
