Abstract: Disclosed is a bottle for a carbonated drink, which is formed by biaxial draw-blow molding of a polyester containing a surface active agent and being composed mainly of ethylene terephthalate units, wherein at least the barrel wall portion of the bottle is molecularly oriented biaxially so that the density is at least 1.34 g/cm.sup.3 as measured at 20.degree. C., and the surface active agent is distributed in the surface of the barrel wall portion so that the contact angle of the surface of the barrel wall portion to water is not larger than 76.degree..In this bottle, the speed of transfer of carbon dioxide gas from the liquid phase of the drink to the gas phase at the time of opening the bottle is controlled to a very low level. Accordingly, occurrence of the cap missile phenomenon at the time of removing the cap from the bottle or reduction of the carbon dioxide content in the drink at the time of repeating sealing and opening of the bottle can effectively be prevented.

Abstract: A cap adapted for use as a container cover where the cap has a thermoplastic resin liner pressed formed onto the inner surface of a cap shell. The plastic liner is formed such that the difference between the intrasurface orientation index of the outer peripheral portion of the liner and the intrasurface orientation index of the central portion of the liner does not exceed 0.37 where the intrasurface orientation index is defined as the sum of the orientation coefficient of the liner in the radial direction and the orientation coefficient of the liner in the circular direction.A method of making a cap having a thermoplastic liner where the liner is press-formed into shape under conditions whereby the difference between the intrasurface orientation index of the outer peripheral portion of the liner and the orientation index of the central portion of the liner does not exceed 0.37.

Abstract: A process for manufacturing a closure cap having a liner. A mass of molten thermoplastic is positioned in the inner face of a cap shell. The mass is spread by a heated punch and the spread mass is then formed by a cooled punch to the final liner shape.

Abstract: Container closure having an easily openable liner, said liner being composed of a composition comprising a base resin consisting of 95 to 30% by weight of a crystalline polyolefin and 5 to 70% by weight of a lowly crystalline or amorphous copolymer of ethylene with otherolefin, a lubricant in an amount of 0.001 to 5% by weight based on said base resin and a polymer containing at least 10% by weight of a conjugated diene in an amount of 1 to 15% by weight based on said base resin. This closure has a good sealing property and an easy openability in combination.
