Patent number: 7189763Abstract: A crosslinked olefin elastomer foam has a specific gravity of 0.05 to 0.2, an expansion ratio of 8 to 15, a compression set of 30 to 60% and a tear strength of 1.5 to 2.5 kg/cm. The crosslinked foam is obtained by heating an elastomer composition comprising a specific ethylene/?-olefin copolymer, an organic peroxide, a crosslinking auxiliary and a foaming agent. The crosslinked foam has a high expansion ratio, is free from surface roughening attributed to defoaming, realizes a soft touch, exhibits a low compression set and is excellent in mechanical strength (particularly tear strength) and heat resistance.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2003Date of Patent: March 13, 2007Assignee: Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Takanori Sueda, Naoto Yasaka, Chong-Sun Yoo, Jeong-Sik Yoon, Kyung-Man Choi, Kwon-Ik Lee

Patent number: 6861478Abstract: A sealant resin composition comprises 60 to 95 weight percent of ethylene polymer (PE) and 5 to 40 weight percent of 1-butene polymer (PB), wherein a melt flow rate (MFR) ratio between the two polymers (MFRPE/MFRPB) is not less than 1. A laminated film obtained by extrusion laminating the resin composition as a sealant film layer over a substrate film adheres tightly to other plastic film by heat sealing and gives a low degree of dependence of heat seal strength on temperature in the heat sealing stage. At the same time the laminated film has an easy peel feature, such that it is readily separated from sealed surfaces after heat sealing, and does not develop any phenomenon of resin threading from the sealed surfaces when they are peeled apart. Accordingly the resin composition is suitably used for the food packaging material.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2001Date of Patent: March 1, 2005Assignee: Mitsui Chemicals, Inc.Inventor: Naoto Yasaka
