  • Patent number: 5271976
    Abstract: A tubular multilayer film including at least two, biaxially stretched tubular layers each formed of a polypropylene resin, wherein the innermost layer contains spherical antiblocking agent particles having an average particle size of 0.2 to 5 .mu.m in an amount of 0.1 to 0.7% by weight, and the outermost layer is free of the spherical antiblocking agent particles is disclosed. The multilayer film may be prepared by biaxially stretching a multilayer tubular raw sheet having an innermost polypropylene layer containing spherical antiblocking agent particles and an outermost polypropylene layer free of such antiblocking agent particles.

  • Patent number: 5108803
    Abstract: A thermally shrinkable film with a liquid detecting function is prepared by coating or printing one side of the film with an ink which turns color or dissolves upon contact with a liquid. An item or object to be packaged is packaged in a thermally shrinkable film. The thermally shrinkable film and the package are useful for detecting a liquid leaking from the packed item or object, or entering into the package from the outside. This permits a visual inspection of the quality of the item or object packaged therein or of contamination by a foreign substance.
