  • Patent number: 6337141
    Abstract: The seizure resistance of an Al-based flame-sprayed layer formed on the swash plate of a swash-plate type comressor is increased to such a level comparable to that of a flame-sprayed bronze layer. The Al-based flame-sprayed layer of the present invention contains: from 12 to 60% of Si and granular Si particles dispersed in the matrix thereof, and at least one dispersing phase of graphite carbon, amorphous carbon and carbon, the crystallizing degree of which is between the graphite carbon and amorphous carbon, and MoS2.

  • Patent number: 5281453
    Abstract: A multilayer composite and an easily openable container produced by using the multilayer composite are provided. The multilayer composite comprises a surface layer of a polyolefin resin, an intermediate layer of a mixture of a polystyrenic resin with a thermoplastic elastomer or with a thermoplastic elastomer and a polyolefin resin, and a base layer of a polystyrenic resin, and the peeling strength between the intermediate layer and the base layer is larger than the peeling strength between the surface layer and the intermediate layer. The easily openable container produced by using the multilayer composite is capable of being sealed with a lid strongly while maintaining easy openability because the opening of the sealed container is performed utilizing the peeling between the surface layer and the intermediate layer.

  • Patent number: 5194109
    Abstract: A method for recovering and reusing a scrap multilayer plastic sheet or film comprising at least a base material layer and laminated with an adhesive resin comprising at least one of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, a styrene-isoprene copolymer, a styrene-butadiene copolymer, a styrene-methyl methacrylate copolymer and an ethylene-acrylic acid ester-maleic anhydride copolymer. The method comprises heating the scrap multilayer sheet or film to a temperature lower than the softening point of the base material layer to make the interlaminar peeling strength of the adhesive resin lower than the strength at break of a layer having the lowest strength at break, except for the adhesive layer, and separating the multilayer scrap into at least two scrap layers and recovering at least one scrap layer in sheet or film form. The present invention provides effective reuse of scrap with almost no reduction in physical properties. Furthermore the cost of the production or molding of the sheet can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 5167900
    Abstract: A multilayer container with a flange for sealing with a lid, wherein the thickness of the inner surface layer at the inner edge of the flange is thinner than that in the sealing area, is produced by a method wherein a circular portion of a multilayer sheet to be the flange is held at a certain pressure while the multilayer sheet is being thermoformed under specified molding conditions, with the other portion than the circular portion being stretched. Even a seal ring having an even surface serves as a means for sealing the resulting multilayer container with a lid while ensuring easy openability.

  • Patent number: 4960648
    Abstract: A laminated material is prepared in which a resin composition layer (A) containing a thermoplastic resin and an inorganic filler in a scaly or non-scaly form in an amount from 20% to 80% by weight of the total weight of the thermoplastic resin and the filler interposes a resin composition layer (B) containing a thermoplastic resin and an inorganic filler in an amount from 30% to 70% by weight of the weight of the inorganic filler contained in the resin composition layer (A), the filler being in a scally form when the filler in the layer (A) is in a scaly form or being in a non-scaly form when the filler in the layer (A) is in a non-scaly form with a thermoplastic resin layer.

  • Patent number: 4917851
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a multi-layer resin material by employing a plurality of kinds of thermoplastic resin. Resins for inner and outer layers are supplied into a feed block of a feed block type T-die coextrusion apparatus where they are laid up another, and are then sent to the T-die side. In this case, a resin which is practically similar to the resin for the outer layer is supplied as an auxiliary resin to both lateral edges of the multi-layer resins within the feed block. Thus, the sheet extruded from the T-die slit has lateral edges which are made of a single resin.

  • Patent number: 4842951
    Abstract: A resin laminate is disclosed, which comprises a gas permeation-resistant resin layer having laminated on each side thereof a polyolefin based resin layer, wherein said polyolefin based resin layer contains an inorganic filler in an amount of 30 to 80% by weight based on the total weight of the resin composition. The resin laminate may be provided with a thermoplastic resin layer containing no inorganic filler on the outersurface thereof. The resin laminate has a minimized oxygen gas permeability and has a low calorific value and is useful as a packaging material.
