The present application generally relates to top films comprising a semi-crystalline core polymeric layer sandwiched by two amorphous skin layers, one on each side of the core polymeric layer. In preferred embodiments, an acrylic layer adjacent one of the amorphous skin layers is present as an outermost layer. The present application is also directed to retroreflective articles comprising such top films.

The invention provides a biaxially oriented polyester film having excellent impact strength and heat resistance and a method for producing same. The method comprises (A) melt-extruding a composition comprising polyester resin for which Tc−(Tg+Tm)/2 is 25−30° C. to obtain unstretched polyester resin composition sheet, which (B) is heated at Tg+5 (° C.) to Tg+40 (° C.) of the polyester resin and stretched in the machine direction at 2×-6× to obtain uniaxially oriented polyester resin composition film, which (C) is heated at Tc−46 (° C.) to Tc+25 (° C.) of the polyester resin and stretched in the transverse direction at 4×−8× to obtain biaxially oriented polyester resin composition film, which (D) undergoes relaxation at 3%-20% in the transverse direction as heated at Tm−40 (° C.) to Tm−5 (° C.) of the polyester resin.

The present disclosure provides for composite textiles that can include a coating layer that is compatible with textiles such as those comprising polyolefins. The coating layer, as well as the precursor coating layer composition, the coating mixture, or resin composition used to form the coating layer, include a mixture of a polyolefin resin and a thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV). It is believed that the use of the coating layer in the disclosed composite textiles can promote better bonding between other components or materials used in articles, such as articles of footwear or articles of clothing, while resisting or preventing creasing and bagging. This allows the use of cost-effective materials such as polyolefins in the composite textiles that have adequate physical and mechanical properties, while also having sufficient chemical bonding properties.

A cover tape for packing an electronic component includes: a substrate layer; a heat sealing layer placed on one surface side of the substrate layer; and an intermediate layer placed between the substrate layer and the heat sealing layer, and a transmitted image definition based on JIS K 7374, with an optical comb width set to 0.5 mm, is 30% or more.

Multilayer oriented shrink films include a skin layer and a base layer; the skin layer being on one side of the base layer, characterized in that the skin layer comprises at least one amorphous styrene-butadiene block copolymer and the base layer has a thickness greater than said skin layer and includes a polypropylene terpolymer, a polybutene-1 copolymer, a polypropylene elastomeric copolymer and at least one copolymer from the group consisting of styreneethylene/butene-styrene triblock copolymers, styrene-ethylene/propylene-styrene triblock copolymers, styrene-ethylene/butene diblock copolymers, styrene-ethylene-propylene diblock copolymers, and combinations of two or more of said triblock and diblock copolymers.

The present invention relates to thermoforming food packaging methods and to dual ovenable thermoformed food packages suitable for cooking food products directly in the package in microwave, conventional and convection ovens. These packages are characterized by good hermeticity, clean peelability, self-venting, very good optics and, if shrunk, a very appealing appearance.

The film has the tensile strength in one direction is 1.1 to 2.5 kN/m and the tensile strength in a direction orthogonal to the one direction is 3.0 to 10 kN/m, or the tensile strain at tensile strength in one direction is 50 to 150% and the tensile strain at tensile strength in a direction orthogonal to the one direction is 8 to 20%.

Disclosed are compositions and methods for multilayer films, which, in one embodiment may comprise a core layer comprising at least 50 wt. % of high-density polyethylene. Further, the multilayer film may include a first skin layer comprising, consisting essentially of, or consisting of low-density polyethylene, optionally linear, and at least about 80 wt. % of high-density polyethylene, as well as a second skin layer comprising either: (i) one or more low-density polyethylenes, any or all of them optionally being linear; or (ii) one or more polypropylene-based copolymers. The multilayer film may be oriented in at least one direction.

The present disclosure relates to a polyester resin blend, a polyester film and a preparation method of the same. The polyester resin blend is capable of providing a heat shrinkable label that is transparent and has excellent shrinkage even if it contains recycled polyethylene terephthalate as well as virgin polyethylene terephthalate. In addition, the heat shrinkable label can be reused while attached to a PET container, etc., and is expected to be useful for providing continuously usable plastics that have been recently attracting attention.
