Abstract: A process and apparatus for the substantially continuous manufacture of a silicon oxide deposition film on a traveling flexible plastic film. The process comprises evaporating a deposition material composed mainly of silicon and silicon oxide or silicon oxide alonem by heating to continuously form a deposition layer composed mainly of silicon oxide and having a thickness of from 100 to 3,000 .ANG. on the surface(s) of a travelling flexible plastic film, wherein a material shaped from the above deposition material is evaporated by heating while the material is supplied to a heat evaporating portion substantially continuously, and an evaporation residue is discharged from the heat evaporating portion substantially continuously.

Abstract: An apparatus for use in a process for the substantially continuous manufacture of a silicon oxide deposition film by evaporating a deposition material composed mainly of a combination of silicon and silicon oxide or silicon oxide alone by heating the material to continuously form a deposition layer composed mainly of silicon oxide and having a thickness of from 100 to 3,000 .ANG. on the surface of a travelling flexible plastic film.

Abstract: The disclosed laminate includes a layer of a saponified copolymer of ethylene and vinyl acetate thermally bonded directly (without use of an adhesive) to a layer of thermoplastic with a high interlayer adhesive strength therebetween. The laminate is produced by pretreating the surface of the thermoplastic layer to be bonded with a low temperature plasma and then thermally bonding the two layers together.
