Abstract: A stretched and foamed plastic formed body forming, in at least a portion thereof, a foamed region which incorporates foamed cells therein, wherein the foamed cells have a flat shape with a maximum thickness of not more than 30 ?m and an average aspect ratio of not less than 4 as viewed in cross section of the formed body perpendicular to a direction in which the formed body is stretched to a maximum degree, and a non-foamed plastic skin layer having no foamed cell distributed therein is formed on the outer surface of the foamed region. The formed body is, further, blended with a non-lustrous pigment as the coloring agent, which is different from a lustrous pigment such as flaky pigment, and exhibits a metal color over the foamed region thereof. The foamed formed body exhibiting a metal color and, specifically, a gold color or a silver color is thus provided without using any expensive lustrous pigment such as metal powder pigment or flaky pigment.

Abstract: A vapor-deposited foamed body having a film 15 vapor-deposited on the surface of a foamed plastic formed body 10 containing foamed cells 1 therein, wherein in the surface X of the foamed plastic formed body 10 serving as the under-layer on where the film 15 is to be vapor-deposited, the porosity of the foamed cells 1 is suppressed to be not more than 30% in the surface layer portion 10a to a depth of 50 ?m from said surface. The vapor-deposited foamed body is obtained by vapor-depositing the film on the surface of the foamed plastic formed body such as a foamed container, the vapor-deposited film being uniformly formed and being effectively prevented from peeling off.

Abstract: A foamed and stretched plastic container having a basic structure which includes a mouth portion and a body wall continuous to the mouth portion and is stretch-formed, the body wall forming a foamed region where foamed cells are distributed, and the mouth portion being an unfoamed region where no foamed cell is present, wherein the foamed cells present in the foamed region have a flat shape being stretched in the direction of stretch, and the foamed cells positioned in the central portion in the direction of thickness of the container wall have the largest lengths in the direction of maximum stretch.

Abstract: A foamed plastic container in which the cell diameters vary along a gradient so as not to decrease the content protection performance, in a manner quite different from the foamed cells distributed in the conventional foamed containers. The foamed plastic container has a container wall formed by using a plastic material and in which foamed cells are distributed, the lengths of the foamed cells in the surface direction of the container wall decreasing from the outer surface of the container toward the inner surface thereof.

Abstract: This invention provides a plastic container characterized in that an expanded layer comprising expanded cells having a flat shape with an average major axis of not more than 400 ?m and an average aspect ratio (L/t) of not less than 6 as viewed in cross section of the container wall along the maximum stretch direction, which are oriented in the stretch direction and are distributed so as to be superimposed on top of each other in the thickness-wise direction, is formed within the container wall. In this container, expanded cells having a flat shape are distributed so as to orient in a given direction and, thus, has light shielding properties and has a pearl-like appearance, that is, has a very high commercial value. Further, since any colorant is not contained, the suitability for recycling is excellent.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for extruding polymer blend resin which is capable of satisfying performances which are necessary as a resin-coated metal can even when the resin-coated metal can is produced through an extremely stringent working such as drawing, deep drawing, bend-elongation by drawing, stretching or ironing. After feeding thermoplastic resin A to a biaxial extruder through a first raw material feed port of the extruder, the thermoplastic resin A is plasticized in a molten state and is subjected to degassing under reduced pressure. Thereafter, thermoplastic resin B whose melting temperature or softening temperature is lower than a melting temperature or a softening temperature of the thermoplastic resin A is fed to the extruder through a second raw material feed port. Assuming Lb as a length of a blending zone and D as a screw diameter of the extruder, the thermoplastic resin B is blended with the thermoplastic resin A in the blending zone of Lb/D=0.5 to 5.
