  • Publication number: 20180265656
    Abstract: A water-soluble film comprises a polyvinyl alcohol resin (A), wherein a difference (?R) between a phase retardation (R?) of one of opposite surfaces (? surface) of the water-soluble film and a phase retardation (R?) of the other surface (? surface) of the water-soluble film is not greater than 8 nm as measured on a middle portion of the water-soluble film with respect to a transverse direction (TD) of the water-soluble film. Therefore, the water-soluble film has a reduced difference in crystallinity between the front and back surfaces thereof and, hence, is less liable to be curled to thereby ensure a higher productivity.

  • Publication number: 20180251615
    Abstract: A water-soluble film is provided which is highly water-soluble and can be formed into an excellent package which has a higher film strength and a higher seal portion peel strength and hence is free from liquid leakage even with liquid such as a liquid detergent packaged therein. A chemical agent package produced by packaging a chemical agent with the water-soluble film is also provided. The water-soluble film comprises a polyvinyl alcohol resin (A), and has an inter-film peel strength of at least 70 g/15 mm as measured after two pieces of the water-soluble film are moisture-conditioned in an environment at 23° C. at 50% RH for 1 day, then bonded to each other with water and allowed to stand for 1 minute.
