The present invention relates to a metallic decorative member which when a transparent base material containing rubber particle is used, is able to make the metallic luster after molding excellent. The metallic decorative member is one including a metal vapor deposited film having a metal vapor deposited layer on a transparent base material, the transparent base material being disposed so as to face toward the outer layer side, wherein the transparent base material is a transparent resin base material containing rubber particles and a binder resin; the metal vapor deposited layer has island portions composed of a metal and sea portions positioning between the island portions; and an area A per island portion is 4,400 to 56,000 nm.sup.2.

A film for use in a packaging structure, comprising a coating on the film surface which comprises a binder and a particulate protuberant component able to remove a volatile organic compound from an environment in contact with the film in the packaging structure. Also provided is a packaging structure comprising such a film and a package which comprises the packaging structure.

The present invention relates to packaging material comprising a plastic substrate comprising at least one surface, and a barrier layer for hydrophobic substances, wherein the barrier layer is in contact with the at least one surface of the plastic substrate, wherein the barrier layer comprises a copolymer, a surface-reacted calcium carbonate, and a mineral material selected from natural ground calcium carbonate and/or precipitated calcium carbonate, as well as a method for producing the same and its use.

The present invention relates to improvement of blocking resistance when a water-based dispersion containing polylactic acid as a dispersoid is used as a heat sealant. Provided is an aqueous dispersion obtained by dispersing a dispersoid containing polylactic acid and carnauba wax in a water-based dispersion medium, in which 1 to 14% by mass of the carnauba wax is blended relative to a mass of the polylactic acid.
