Abstract: A black masterbatch for polyester polymer consisting of:(a) 25-99.7% of polyester polymer by weight;(b) 0.1-20% of dispersive second polyester by weight and/or 0.1-15% EVA by weight; and(c) 0.1-40% of carbon black by weight;whereby the black masterbatch can be easily manufactured by a simple process without polluting the environment.

Abstract: A fabric having a superior moisture permeability and water absorption. The superior features of the fabric in accordance with the present invention are provided by using a chitin group substance with a synthetic resin.The fabric in accordance with the present invention can be obtained by immersing a base fabric in a synthetic resin including the chitin group substance or by coating at least a synthetic resin including the chitin group substance on the base fabric. The fabric manufactured by the latter method has a moisture condensation prevention property.

Abstract: The heat retaining clothing of the invention comprising at least one inflatable envelope which is made of a polymer film. The film has a thickness of 50 to 150 .mu.m and an elastic modulus of extension of at least 90%.

Abstract: A heat-retaining moisture-transmissible water-resistant fabric which comprises (i) a fibrous substrate, (ii) a discontinuous polymer layer or a polymer layer having a multiplicity of interconnecting fine pores (layer A), formed on at least one surface of the substrate, and (iii) a polymer layer (layer B) formed on layer A, layer B contains 15 to 70 wt. %, based on the polymer of the layer B, of heat ray-reflecting fine metal pieces and has a multiplicity of interconnecting fine pores communicating from the surface to the interior and also has on the surface thereof fine pores, most of which have a size not larger than 5 .mu.m. The fabric may comprise, in lieu of layer B, (iv) a microporous polymer film layer (layer C), formed on layer A and having a multiplicity of interconnecting fine pores communicating in all the direction in the interior of layer C, most of which have a size of at least 1 .mu.m, and (v) a polymer layer (layer D) containing 10-70 wt.
