  • Patent number: 9921200
    Abstract: An oxygen detecting multilayer body allows easy detection of a color change of an oxygen detecting layer, and prevention of crazing of an oxygen detecting layer. The oxygen detecting multilayer body includes a transparent resin layer, a heat seal layer, and an oxygen detecting layer containing an oxygen detecting component, placed occupying a part of a space between the transparent resin layer and the heat seal layer, wherein a spacer is placed to occupy at least a part of a space between the transparent resin layer and the heat seal layer, where the oxygen detecting layer is not provided, so as to make up a missing thickness of the oxygen detecting multilayer body, wherein the thickness of the oxygen detecting layer is from 0.5 to 40 ?m, and the ratio of the thickness of the oxygen detecting layer to the thickness of the spacer is from 15:1 to 1:10.

  • Publication number: 20160121259
    Abstract: A container houses an absorbent for absorbing a gas such as oxygen, and can house an absorbent which reacts with a gas to expand as well as can house an absorbent which has a small diameter or whose diameter decreases without leakage, while securing air permeation between the inside and outside of the container. An absorbent-containing container has a lid body and a bottomed-cylindrical container main body having an opening in an upper surface which is covered by the lid body and which has a paper layer as an inner layer. The lid body is fitted in the opening with an outer peripheral portion being bent upward and held in contact with an inner layer of the container main body. An upper end portion of the container main body is bent from above the lid body toward the lid body to grip the outer peripheral portion of the lid body.
