Abstract: To provide a coating composition for undercoating which, in forming a gas-barrier layer having a crosslinked structure between a polycarboxylic acid type polymer and polyvalent metal ions by the heating at a low temperature for a short period of time, permits polyvalent metal ions to be easily and quickly fed into the polycarboxylic acid type polymer and, besides, into the whole gas-barrier layer. A coating composition containing, as chief components, a nonaqueous polyester polyol, an isocyanate compound, and an alkaline compound of a polyvalent metal that serves as an ion source for forming the crosslinked structure, wherein the nonaqueous polyester polyol contains a nonaqueous polyester polyol which contains a metal element in the resin skeleton thereof as an essential component, and the alkaline compound of the polyvalent metal has an average primary particle size in a range of 0.005 to 0.5 ?m.

Abstract: A handy bottle is capable of absorbing deformation strain caused by variation of capacity, is easy to lift and carry because of its recessed portions for gripping and is excellent in dropping strength and capable of not buckling while maintaining moldability and lightweight property. Typically, the handy bottle has recessed portions for gripping on both sides of a body portion thereof and a shape in diametric cross section of the recessed portions is almost bilaterally symmetrical to a line connecting deepest portions of the recessed portions and a central axis of the body portion. The process for producing the handy bottle allows movable inserts capable of molding the recessed portions for gripping to be on standby in predetermined positions and allows the movable inserts to proceed toward the deepest portions of the recessed portions for gripping in the course of blow molding.

Abstract: A blow molding method for molding tube containers by introducing blow air into a parison having been extruded by an extruder is disclosed, which comprises introducing blow air into the parison to shape a tube container and form a discharge outlet in part of the wall of an unnecessary portion of the tube container located lower than the cutting position of the tube container, and further continuing the introduction of blow air. The blow air may be introduced horizontally by piercing the wall of a parison having been extruded from an extruder with a nozzle for introducing blow air or vertically by introducing blow air in the axial direction of the parison. The discharge outlet is formed in part of the side wall or bottom wall of the container below a cutting position preferably as low as possible.

Abstract: A blow molding method by horizontal blow molding of piercing the wall of a parison having been extruded by an extruder with a blow nozzle is disclosed, which comprises moving forward the blow nozzle to pierce the parison, introducing blow air at least in the direction toward the bottom, i.e., opposite to the bottle neck and, after shaping of a hollow container by the blow air, forming an opening in the parison at a position in the vicinity of or above the blow nozzle-pierced portion to discharge the blow air having circulated inside the hollow container.

Abstract: An organic resin-coated seamless can with necked-in portion is disclosed, which is produced by subjecting a resin-coated steel sheet to drawing-re-drawing for reducing thickness or to drawing-re-drawing-ironing for reducing thickness-ironing and which has a ratio of diameter of necked-in portion to diameter of body of 0.9 or less than that, said steel sheet being coated by 5- to 30-.mu.m thick organic resin layer on both surfaces of aluminum-killed, surface-treated steel sheet of 0.01 to 0.13 % by weight in total carbon amount and not more than 6.5 .mu.m in average grain diameter having been subjected to over-aging after continuous annealing to adjust to not more than 10 ppm in solid-dissolved carbon amount. This can scarcely has rough surface or pinholes in the necked-in portion even when the necked-in portion has been considerably compressed upon its formation.
