(109) A composite shape die for forming a male side fitting member and a female side fitting member having the same three-layered structure as the fitting tool 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 was prepared.

(110) As a resin material X-1 for forming the main layer, 40 parts by mass of LDPE1, 40 parts by mass of LLDPE1, and 20 parts by mass of LLDPE2 were melt-kneaded using an extruder having a diameter of 50 mm and an L/D of 30 under conditions of a molding temperature of 170 C.

(111) As a resin material Y-1 for forming the seal layer, LDPE4 was melt-kneaded using an extruder having a diameter of 30 mm and an L/D of 30 under conditions of a molding temperature of 170 C.

(112) As a resin material Z-1 for forming the interlayer, HDPE1 was melt-kneaded using an extruder having a diameter of 30 mm and an L/D of 30 under conditions of a molding temperature of 190 C.

(113) The resin materials X-1, Y-1, and Z-1 were guided to a composite shape die and extrusion-molded. After that, the resin materials were guided to a cooling water tank to be cooled and solidified to obtain a fitting tool having a tape width of 13 mm and a total thickness of each of a first base material and a second base material of 0.15 mm.

(114) In each of the first base material and the second base material, a thickness of the main layer was set to 43.5 m, a thickness of the interlayer was set to 81.0 m, and a thickness of the seal layer was set to 25.5 m, and a ratio of the thickness of each layer was set to main layer/interlayer/seal layer=29/54/17.

Example 2

(115) A fitting tool was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the resin material forming each layer was changed as shown in Table 1, the molding temperature of the main layer was set to 190 C., the thickness of the main layer was set to 55.5 m, the thickness of the interlayer was set to 64.5 m, the thickness of the seal layer was set to 30 m, and the ratio of the thickness of each layer was set to main layer/interlayer/seal layer=37/43/20.

Comparative Example 1

(116) A fitting tool was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, except that the resin material X forming the main layer and the resin material Y forming the seal layer were changed as shown in Table 1, the interlayer was not provided, the thickness of the main layer was set to 117 m, the thickness of the seal layer was set to 33 m, and the ratio of the thickness of each layer was set to main layer/seal layer=78/22.

(117) Table 1 shows the compositions of the main layer, the interlayer, and the seal layer of each example, and the evaluation results.

(119) As shown in Table 1, in the fitting tools of Examples 1 and 2 satisfying the requirements (1) to (3), no interlayer peeling occurred, the curl angle was small, and the occurrence of curling was suppressed.

(120) On the other hand, in the fitting tool of Comparative Example 1 in which the interlayer was not provided and the requirements (1) to (3) were not satisfied, no interlayer peeling occurred, however, the curl angle was large, and the occurrence of curling could not be sufficiently suppressed.
