  • Patent number: 5089341
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the high-sensitivity thermosensitive multilayer film and the method to produce plate-making paper using the film. In the present invention, the high-sensitivity thermosensitive multilayer film consists of at least one functional layer and at least one peeling layer. The said functional layer is made of the thermoplastic resin layer with the thickness of 0.1 to 12 .mu.m and with at least 30% of a thermal shrinkage rate and at least 50 g/mm.sup.2 of thermal shrinkage stress value. The peeling layer consists of the thermoplastic resin layer which is different from that of the functional layer and is the special multilayer film which is readily releasable and capable of exerting a compressive force to the functional layer. When the stencil sheet is manufactured by using the said multilayer film, the operation efficiency at time of lamination and the shrinkage capacity can improve by peeling the said peeling layer after lamination from porous supporting member.

  • Patent number: 4619859
    Abstract: The present invention provides primarily an entirely new type multilayer oriented film suited for stretch wrapping, particularly for wrapping of foods. Its features include various excellent characteristics such as mechanical strength, transparency, heat resistance, sealability, stretchability, low temperature resistance, etc. In particular, the present invention concerns a process for producing such a multilayer film by cold stretching a multilayer containing at least one layer with a specific composition capable of a high degree of cold stretching, which enables simultaneously cold stretching of other layers made of resins which can be or cannot be stretched solely, through its cold stretching force, thereby imparting high strength to all the layers, and further applying a specific heat treatment on the stretched film to modify orientation of the film so as to increase stretchability and to stabilize dimension of the film.
