  • Patent number: 8950614
    Abstract: A biodegradable resin bottle having a container wall (1) including a biodegradable resin and having a vacuum-evaporated film (3) formed on the inner surface of the container wall (1) by a plasma CVD method. The vacuum-evaporated film (3) includes a first hydrocarbon vacuum-evaporated layer (3a) positioned on the inner surface of the container wall and a second hydrocarbon vacuum-evaporated layer (3b) formed on the above hydrocarbon vacuum-evaporated layer (3a).

  • Patent number: 8133562
    Abstract: A plastic formed article comprising a plastic substrate and a vapor deposited film formed on the surface of the plastic substrate by a plasma CVD method, wherein the vapor deposited film includes an organometal vapor deposited layer having an element ratio C/Si of 2.5 to 13 and an element ratio O/M of not larger than 0.5, and a hydrocarbon vapor deposited layer; and the hydrocarbon vapor deposited layer has a thickness in a range of 40 to 180 nm, exhibits peaks stemming from CH, CH2 and CH3 over a region of wave numbers of 3200 to 2600 cm?1 as measured by FT-IR, and has a CH2 ratio of not larger than 35% and a CH3 ratio of not less than 40%. A film is deposited on a plastic formed article without deteriorated by oxidation, without thermally deformed or without thermally deteriorated not only when PET or polyolefin is used but also when polylactic acid is used as the plastic substrate.

  • Patent number: 8012553
    Abstract: A stretch mold container of the present invention is obtained by draw-forming a resin composition containing a poly-L-lactic acid (A) and a poly-D-lactic acid (B) at a molar ratio A:B in a range of 95:5 to 60:40, and has an amount of heat shrinkage of 5.0% or less under heat treatment conditions of 65° C.×24 hours. Despite of being made from the polylactic acids, the stretch mold container exhibits excellent heat resistance.

  • Patent number: 5191779
    Abstract: In a method of producing a metallic container by subjecting a metallic material having an organic resin coating to single-staged or multiple-staged drawing, uniformly coating a lubricant on the surface of the organic resin coating of the metallic material and draw-forming the coated material, according to the present invention, a high lubricating property is obtained at the time of drawing by using a small amount of a saturated hydrocarbon as the lubricant, and by simply heating the formed can, a major portion of the lubricant can be removed and the degreasing and washing steps or the subsequent drying step essential in the conventional method, can be omitted, with the result that the printability or the flavor-retaining property can be markedly improved, and consumption of water resource and energy resource can be reduced and a high effect of preventing environmental pollution can be attained.
