Abstract: The invention provides a multilayer container that comprises a polyglycolic acid layer and a thermoplastic polyester resin layer and is much improved in terms of gas barrier properties, heat resistance, moldability, transparency and durability, and its production process. Polyglycolic acid is used as a gas barrier resin. At the body and bottom, the thermoplastic polyester resin forms an inner and an outer layer, and an intermediate layer comprising at least one polyglycolic acid layer is embedded in the thermoplastic polyester resin layer. The opening end of the container is formed of a thermoplastic polyester resin layer alone, and the body is biaxially oriented. The multilayer container has heat resistance enough to stand up to hot-filling at 93° C. for 20 seconds.

Abstract: A spiral die for forming a laminate includes an outer die ring, an inner die ring inserted into the outer die ring with a fit clearance therebetween, a plurality (m, a positive integer greater than 1) of spiral grooves each having a gradually decreasing depth disposed between the outer and inner die rings, and distribution paths for distributively introducing melted resin streams of a plurality (n, a positive integer satisfying n<m) of resin species in a prescribed order into said plurality (m) of spiral grooves. The individual resin streams distributed to the spiral grooves proceed along the spiral grooves to gradually overflow the respective spiral grooves and overlie each other in a prescribed order before the individual resin streams form a uniform tubular stream in a die axial direction.

Abstract: A laminate resin film having two major surfaces is constituted by plural resin species. In the laminate, layers of the plural resin species are laminated obliquely to the two major surfaces in at least one section perpendicular to the two major surfaces, and each layer of the plural species of resins is exposed to the two major surfaces. The laminate resin film has equivalent properties in the thickness direction (such as gas-barrier property) as in a conventional laminated film but has properties in the planar extension direction which are remarkably affected by properties (such as low Young's modulus and heat-shrinkability) of a certain component resin layer.
