  • Patent number: 5120586
    Abstract: Bags having increased blocking resistance properties are formed of a film composed of a resin blend of a polyethylene (PE) resin and a polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) resin having an intrinsic viscosity or 0.7 of more. Preferably, the film is a multi-layer structure formed via coextrusion inflation molding techniques having inner and outer layers laminated to one another. The inner layer is a polyolefin, while the outer layer is composed of a PE/PBT blend, in which the PBT is present in an amount of between 5 to 30 wt. % based on the total weight of the resin composition and has a melt index of 0.7 or more. The thickness ratio of the internal layer to the external layer is preferably between 95/5 to 30/70.

  • Patent number: 5112553
    Abstract: A process for preparing an injection-molded article having a three-dimensional pattern on a surface thereof includes placing a master film of a thermoplastic resin having a three-dimensional master pattern formed on a region thereof into a mold such that the master pattern is exposed to the mold cavity. An injection-moldable resin is then injected into the mold cavity so as to cause a surface region of the resin to conform to the three-dimensional master pattern on the master film, and to thereby transfer the master pattern onto said surface region of the resin. The master film is then removed from the surface region of the injection molded resin to thereby expose said three-dimensional pattern formed thereupon. Preferably the master film is formed of a thermoplastic resin having a melting point greater than the injection molding temperature. Other lower melting point thermoplastic films can be used by metallizing the film's surface so that it withstands the injection molding temperature.

  • Patent number: 5108818
    Abstract: A surface-patterned, injection-molded article of polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) is produced by placing a film composed mainly of a polyester resin and back-printed with a desired graphic and/or indicia pattern in a mold cavity so that the printed surface of the film will be in contact with PBT resin to be injected thereinto. The polyester resin film has a melting point between 10.degree. C. to 60.degree. C. less than the melting point of the injected PBT. Molten resin composed mainly of polybutylene terephthalate is then injected into the mold cavity to cause the pattern-printed film to at least partially plasticize and thereby integrally meld (bond) onto a corresponding surface of the resulting molded PBT article.

  • Patent number: 5100717
    Abstract: A surface-patterned, injection-molded article of polybutylene terephthalate is produced by placing a film composed mainly of a polybutylene resin and back-printed with a desired graphic and/or indicia pattern in a mold cavity so that the printed surface of the film will be in contact with resin to be injected thereinto. Prior to mold placement, the back-printed surface is coated with an adhesive layer. Molten resin composed mainly of polybutylene terephthalate is then injected into the mold cavity to cause the adhesive to bond the pattern-printed film integrally onto a corresponding surface of the resulting molded PBT article.

  • Patent number: 5096653
    Abstract: A process of producing a transparent resin film includes inflation molding in an upward direction a resin composition which having 100 parts by weight of a polybutylene terephthalate resin having an intrinsic viscosity IV.sub.a of at least 1.0, and between 15 to 45 parts by weight of a polycarbonate resin having an intrinsic viscosity IV.sub.b of at least 0.4. The polybutylene terephthalate and polycarbonate resins are present such that the ratio .eta..sub.A /.eta..sub.B is between 0.35 to 1.5, wherein .eta..sub.A is the melt viscosity of the polybutylene terephthalate resin at a shear rate of 100.sup.-1 at 260.degree. C., and .eta..sub.B is the melt viscosity of the polycarbonate resin at a shear rate of 100.sup.-1 at 260.degree. C. During inflation molding, the resin composition is extruded at an extrusion temperature T(.degree.C.) which satisfies the equation:240.degree. C..ltoreq.T(.degree.C.).ltoreq.(MP-26)+(53.times.IV.sub.
