  • Publication number: 20240110031
    Abstract: The embodiments relate to a polyester film and a process for regenerating a polyester container using the same, which not only solve the environmental problems by improving the recyclability of polyester containers, but also are capable of enhancing the yield and productivity. The polyester film comprises a first layer comprising a first resin comprising a diol component and a dicarboxylic acid component; and a second layer laminated on one side of the first layer and comprising a second resin different from the first resin, wherein when the polyester film is cut with a polyethylene terephthalate container to form flakes and the flakes are thermally treated at a temperature of 200° C. to 220° C. for 60 minutes to 120 minutes, the clumping fraction is 8% or less.

  • Patent number: 11655062
    Abstract: A heat shrinkable film shows a heat shrinkage rate in the direction perpendicular to the main shrinkage direction that is not high even at high temperature and is printable thereon. The heat shrinkable film includes a polyester resin, wherein the heat shrinkage characteristics in the direction perpendicular to the main shrinkage direction satisfy the following Relationships 1 and 2: ?15??T70-65?0??Relationship 1 0??T100-95?5??Relationship 2 wherein ?TX-Y is a value obtained by subtracting heat shrinkage rate of the heat shrinkable film in the direction perpendicular to the main shrinkage direction after the heat shrinkable film is immersed in water bath for 10 seconds at Y° C. from heat shrinkage rate of the heat shrinkable film in the direction perpendicular to the main shrinkage direction after the heat shrinkable film is immersed in water bath for 10 seconds at X° C.

  • Publication number: 20070078217
    Abstract: Provided is a method of preparing a vinylchloride-based copolymer for plastisol processing. Suspension copolymerization of a vinylchloride monomer with a comonomer having a low glass transition temperature in the presence of a buffer added at an initial stage of the copolymerization can produce a vinylchloride-based copolymer resin with a good low-temperature melting property, a uniform particle size, and a narrow particle size distribution. A plastisol including the vinylchloride-based copolymer resin as a blend resin has low viscosity, and thus, can be easily processed even at a low temperature.
