  • Publication number: 20220135752
    Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide a biaxially stretched polyamide film that is excellent in an impact resistance, a folding pinhole resistance and a friction pinhole resistance and that is produced from a raw material derived from a biomass. The present invention relates to a biaxially stretched polyamide film, comprising 99 to 70 mass % of a Polyamide 6 resin and 1 to 30 mass % of a polyamide resin, wherein at least a part of a raw material of the polyamide resin is derived from a biomass, and the biaxially stretched polyamide film meets the following (a) and (b): (a) the number of Gelbo pinhole defect is 10 or less after the biaxially stretched polyamide film is twisted and bent 1000 times at 1° C. using a Gelbo flex tester, (b) a distance leading to a pinhole formation by a friction resistance pinhole test is 2900 cm or more.

  • Patent number: 8993109
    Abstract: Disclosed is a void-containing heat-shrinkable polyester film which is composed of at least two layers, wherein at least one of the layers is a polyester resin layer comprising a cyclic polyolefin resin and containing voids. The film has an apparent specific gravity of less than 1.00 and has specified heat shrinking properties and mechanical properties. Also disclosed is a void-containing heat-shrinkable polyester film as mentioned above, which exhibits specified cuttability along a perforation. Further disclosed is a process for producing a void-containing heat-shrinkable polyester film as mentioned above.

  • Patent number: 8697207
    Abstract: The inventive heat-shrinkable polyolefin film is high in shrinkability in the longitudinal direction that is its main shrinkage direction and excellent in finish properties after shrinkage, perforated line openability, and thermal blocking resistance. The heat-shrinkable polyolefin film is characterized by particular values with respect to hot-water heat shrinkage ratio in the longitudinal and width directions, right angle tear strength in the width direction, and heat-resistant peel strength.
