  • Publication number: 20190256706
    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of achieving a resin composition that has high durability and heat resistance and that maintains transparency while having excellent ease of workability, a resin sheet for a card formed using the resin composition, and a multilayer sheet. The abovementioned problem is solved by a resin composition containing a polycarbonate resin and 2 mass % or more but less than 9 mass % of an aliphatic polyester compound.

  • Publication number: 20190255874
    Abstract: The present invention addresses the problem of providing a laminate that, in addition to having excellent security properties as a result of adding an information-presenting substance in a stable state, is provided with a resinous transparent layer that can cover a non-transparent layer to reliably protect it. The abovementioned problem is solved by a thermoplastic resin film laminate that comprises at least one transparent layer containing a thermoplastic resin and a non-transparent layer laminated with the transparent layer, in which the transparent layer contains an information-presenting substance that emits fluorescence when irradiated with irradiation light in a specific wavelength range, and in which the transparent layer is layered so as to cover at least part of the surface of the non-transparent layer.

  • Patent number: 10263225
    Abstract: A thin sheet or film excellent in flame retardancy and light-blocking properties is provided. A battery pack case and others with high flame retardancy are each molded from this thin film. A thin sheet or film Including a specific phosphorus-containing flame retardant in a polycarbonate resin is excellent in thickness accuracy, flame retardancy and appearance. A thin sheet or film excellent in flame retardancy and also having a thickness of 0.01 to 0.25 mm was formed when controlling its thickness uniformly during sheet or film molding. Further, upon addition of carbon black, the resulting sheet or film was found to have good light-blocking properties and higher flame retardancy. Moreover, when used as a film packaging material for battery packs, the sheet or film of the present invention was found to be excellent in film strength and ultrasonic weldability.

  • Patent number: 9670315
    Abstract: An aromatic polycarbonate resin composition for a fluorescence detection and analysis substrate by which autofluorescence of an aromatic polycarbonate resin, which has been avoided as a resin for a fluorescence detection and analysis substrate due to a critical defect thereof of having fluorescence in a visible light wavelength region, is significantly decreased, and is highly heat-resistant and highly transparent; and a fluorescence detection and analysis substrate produced by melt molding performed on the aromatic polycarbonate resin composition.

  • Publication number: 20150203225
    Abstract: A method of packaging a particle-like material includes: creating a state where an inert gas introduction pipe and an inert gas exhaust pipe being inserted into an airtight container, and where the airtight container being filled up with a particle-like material, and then temporarily closing the opening portion; introducing an inert gas through the inert gas introduction pipe into the airtight container, and discharging the inert gas introduced into the airtight container out through the inert gas exhaust pipe, to thereby replace the inside of the airtight container with the inert gas; and, removing the inert gas introduction pipe and the inert gas exhaust pipe out from the airtight container, and then closing the opening portion of the airtight container.
