  • Patent number: 7998385
    Abstract: A transparent multilayer stretched product is produced through a process including: providing a resin laminate including at least on layer of polyglycolic acid resin, heat-forming and cooling the resin laminate, reheating the resin laminate until the polyglycolic acid resin is crystallized to be opaque and then stretching the reheated resin laminate. The thus-obtained multilayer stretched product is excellent in gas-barrier property in addition to the transparency and is suitable as a packaging material or container.
