Patent number: 8877310Abstract: The invention discloses a multilayer propylene resin sheet and a heat-treatable packaging material which have an excellent transparency, flexibility and very-low-temperature impact resistance, and which reduce the thickness variation during lamination, suppress appearance defects such as interfacial roughness and mitigate thinning during fabrication. The multilayer propylene resin sheet is composed of at least two layers, which are (1) an inner layer and (2) an outer layer. The inner layer (1) is made of a resin composition containing 40 to 89 wt % of a specific propylene resin composition (A), 10 to 40 wt % of a specific ethylene-?-olefin copolymer (B), and 1 to 20 wt % of a specific propylene resin (C). The outer layer (2) is made of a specific propylene resin composition.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2011Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignee: Japan Polypropylene CorporationInventors: Gen Kanai, Yuji Kadowaki

Patent number: 7341794Abstract: A laminated film of a propylene resin layer and an ethylene resin layer is provided, which does not require solvent removal and recovery devices, etc., is low in influences against working environments and a danger of occurrence of fire, and has a high interlaminar adhesive force. That is, the invention relates to a laminated film prepared by melt extrusion laminating, without via an anchor coating agent, an ethylene based resin mainly comprising a linear ethylene/?-olefin copolymer having: a density of from 0.870 to 0.910 g/cm3; and an MFR of from 1 to 100 g/10 min., the copolymer being obtained by copolymerizing ethylene and an ?-olefin having from 3 to 20 carbon atoms, on the surface of a propylene based resin film formed from a crystalline propylene based random copolymer resin having a melting peak temperature of not higher than 140° C., as prepared using a metallocene catalyst.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2002Date of Patent: March 11, 2008Assignee: Japan Polypropylene CorporationInventors: Takashi Yamashita, Gen Kanai
