A resin sheet having hair-like bodies arranged regularly on at least one surface of a base layer containing a thermoplastic resin, the surface with the hair-like bodies having a coefficient of friction, as measured according to KES, of 0.5 or more and 1.0 or less, a deviation of the coefficient of friction, as measured by KES, of 0.010 or more and 0.025 or less, and a deviation of roughness, as measured by KES, of 0.2 or more and 1.5 or less.

A method for manufacturing a composite preform is provided, including preparing a preform that is formed from a plastic material, preparing a tubular heat shrinkable plastic member that is longer than the preform and has a margin for thermocompression bonding at one end, inserting the preform into the plastic member having the plastic member undergo thermal shrinkage by heating the preform and the plastic member, and bonding the margin of the plastic member by thermocompression.

The invention relates to a multi-layered, opaque, biaxially-oriented polyolefin film with a thickness of less than 150 mum and which comprises f. a base layer that contains vacuoles and at least one polymer of at least one olefin, g. an inner intermediate layer that contains at least one polymer of at least one olefin, h. an outer intermediate layer that contains at least one polymer of at least one olefin, i. an inner cover layer which is in contact with the inner intermediate layer and contains 5-70 wt. % of at least one polyethylene and 30-95 wt. % of at least one propylene polymer, and j. an outer cover layer which is in contact with the outer intermediate layer and contains 5-70 wt. % of at least one polyethylene and 30-95% of at least one propylene polymer, each amount indication relating to the weight of the layer in question, and characterised in that said outer intermediate layer has a thickness of 0.5 to 5 mum and contains 4.5 to 30 wt. % of pigments, preferably Tau[Iota]Omicron2, in that the outer cover layer has a thickness of >0 to <2 mum, and in that the film has a gloss on either side of less than 50 gloss units measured according to DIN EN ISO 2813 at an angle of 60 DEG and at a temperature of 25 DEG C.

A fuel tank includes: a tank main body made of a resin material; and a cover member which is formed using threads made of a fiber-reinforced composite material containing a thermoplastic resin fusible to a surface of the tank main body. The cover member has a twill weave structure at least in its portion fused to the upper surface of the tank main body. The threads each have a core-sheath structure in which a fiber made of a polypropylene resin is coated with a polyethylene resin.

There is disclosed an in-mould labelling process for the manufacture of a labelled article comprising the steps of: feeding a labelstock web into a mould; forming an article in the mould such that the formed article contacts and effectively adheres to a label of the labelstock web; detaching the adhered label from the labelstock web; and removing the formed and labelled article from the mould.
