  • Publication number: 20120318253
    Abstract: Disclosed is a porous film for a bag-constituting member prepared by stretching an unstretched film to be porous. The unstretched film is made from a material composition essentially including a linear low-density polyethylene; an olefinic copolymer having a Vicat softening point of from 20° C. to 50° C. and a density of less than 0.900 g/cm3; and an inorganic filler. The porous film excels in low-temperature heat sealability and gives a bag-constituting member for a body warmer.

  • Publication number: 20110130814
    Abstract: An air-permeable member for portable body warmers includes a nonwoven fabric and a porous film in a layered structure. The nonwoven fabric is a spunbonded nonwoven fabric having an embossment area ratio of 5% to 20% and a METSUKE of 10 to 80 g/m2, the porous film has a thickness of 30 to 200 ?m, and the air-permeable member has a compressive strength in machine direction of from 2 to 5.5 N as a maximum compressive load measured through a ring crush method by sampling a 60-mm square test piece; rounding the test piece with a circumference agreeing the transverse direction to give a cylindrical sample; compressing the cylindrical sample in the machine direction using a tensile tester at a temperature of 23° C. and relative humidity of 50% at a compressing speed of 300 mm/min.; and measuring compressive loads at distortions of 0 to 10 mm.

  • Patent number: 7950385
    Abstract: A disposable warmer of the present invention has a bag including a bag member (A) and a bag member (B); a heater; a heat-sealed portion where the bag member (A) and the bag member (B) are heat-sealed; and a portion with the heater sealed therein. The bag members (A) and (B) are heat-sealed with each other to form the bag, the bag member (A) includes at least a layered structure with a porous film and a nonwoven fabric layer, and the bag member (B) includes at least another layered structure with a stretchable film and another nonwoven fabric layer. The disposable warmer comprises two or more of the portions with the heaters sealed therein independently, and a slit in at least the porous film constituting the bag member (A) of the bag members (A) and (B) in at least one region between the adjacent portions with the heaters sealed therein.

  • Publication number: 20110076430
    Abstract: This invention provides a pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having a base material and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer containing a urethane resin or a styrene copolymer and also containing hollow microspheres and bubbles, formed at least on one side of the base material. This invention also provides a disposable body warmer having the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet as a bag-constituting component.

  • Publication number: 20100310854
    Abstract: A porous film for a heat-sealable bag-constituting member is prepared by stretching an unstretched film to be porous. The unstretched film includes an ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene having a weight-average molecular weight of 30×104 to 250×104, a polyolefin component other than the ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene, and an inorganic filler as essential components, and the content of the ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene is 1 percent by weight or more based on the total amount of polymer components constituting the porous film. Even when produced by stretching at a low draw ratio, the film does not suffer from uneven stretching and shows high productivity. When the film is heat-sealed into a bag, the bag has a high seal strength and does not suffer from edge tear. The film is therefore useful particularly as a bag-constituting member to be heat-sealed into a bag typically as a disposable body warmer.
