  • Patent number: 6709734
    Abstract: Disclosed are a resin sheet that has a resin layer which is made up of a thermoplastic resin and which has a degree of orientation of not less than 0.0002 and not more than 0.0020, and a thermoformed article and laminate structure. The resin sheet is preferably employed in a thermoforming process. Particlarly favorable application of the resin sheet is a paintless film, which is usually thermoformed and then laminated to a molten resin.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 20, 2002
    Date of Patent: March 23, 2004
    Assignee: Sumitomo Chemical Company, Limited
    Inventors: Kenichi Higashi, Kouichi Yanase

  • Patent number: 6117553
    Abstract: There is provided a self-tack wrapping film comprising a non-oriented multi-layer film of a chlorine-free resin, which is regulated in (a) tensile breaking elongation at a longitudinal direction, (b) ratio of a tensile breaking elongation at a transverse direction to the tensile breaking elongation at a longitudinal direction, (c) tensile breaking load at a longitudinal direction (LLD), (d) ratio of the tensile breaking load at a longitudinal direction to a tensile breaking load at a transverse direction, (e) tensile modulus at a longitudinal direction and that at a transverse direction, (f) tackiness, (g) heat resistant temperature and (h) respective thermal shrinkage percents at longitudinal and transverse directions, to a predetermined range, which wrapping film has improved tackiness, heat resistance, microwave oven suitability and "saw blade" cutting characteristics, and appropriate flexibility.

  • Patent number: 5641569
    Abstract: A self-tacky packaging film which comprises a multi-layer film comprising:(A) two outermost, surface layers comprising a polyethylene based resin and(B) at least one core layer, between the layers (A), comprising a polypropylene based resin having a melting point of 140.degree. C. or more, at least one side of the multi-layer film being irradiated with an ionizing radiation, is excellent in tackiness, a microwave oven suitability and "saw edge"-cutting characteristics and has an appropriate flexibility.
