An easily regeneratable printed thermoplastic resin product is provided by printing it with a specific radiation-curable ink composition and curing the printed ink with radiation to form a cured ink film thereon. The ink composition comprises a vehicle mixture containing: (A) at least one linear polyester oligomer and/or polymer substantially free of an acid group and a polymerizable double bond on the linear polyester chain wherein 1 to 10 double bonds are pendent from the linear polyester chain, and/or mixture thereof, (B) at least one single double bond-containing carboxylic acid and/or ester and/or amide wherein the acid has at least one acid group, and/or mixture thereof, (C) a double bond-containing polycarboxylic ester wherein 2 to 10 acid groups are present and at least 2 double bonds are pendent from the carboxylic ester having 2 to 10 acid groups, (D) at least one double bond-containing fluorinated carboxylic ester, and/or block copolymer comprising a fluorinated alkyl group-containing polymer segment and a (meth)acrylic polymer segment, and/or block copolymer comprising a siloxane group-containing polymer segment and a (meth)acrylic polymer segment, and/or mixture thereof, (E) a double bond-containing carboxylic ester, having at least 2 double bonds and free of an acid group, provided that it is excluded from the above-mentioned ingredient (A), and (F) at least one single double bond-containing carboxylic ester and/or amide and/or imide free of an acid group, and/or mixture thereof, wherein the acid value of the vehicle mixture is from 5 to 100. The ink is useful in displaying and decorating trade names, designs, explanatory notes, bar code, etc. on specific thermoplastic products and the cured ink film is easily detachable with an aqueous alkali solution.

A process for forming a container of acrylonitrile polymers by biaxial-orientation blow-molding a preform. A preform of thermoplastic resin, mainly acrylonitrile polymers, is irradiated with an electron beam or a gamma-ray. Immediately after the irradiation, the preform is heated at 40.degree. C. or higher to reduce residual acrylonitrile monomer in the preform to 0.1 ppm or less. Then, the preform is biaxial-orientation blow molded to form a container.

An article of polyethylene terephthalate resin, particularly a laminated wall structure of a bottle made by biaxial orientation blow molding from the resin. The laminated wall is made up of polyethylene terephthalate resin and a synthetic resin material having good gas barrier properties.

Article of polyethylene terephthalate resin

This invention relates to a saturated polyester bottle-shaped container and a method of fabricating the same from a material such as polyethylene terephthalate incorporating high transparency and superior mechanical surface strength. The hard coating is formed by the steps of coating an ultraviolet curable coating of methyl methacrylate resin on the surface of the body and irradiating ultraviolet rays over the surface of the body coated with the hard coating. Thus, the bottle-shaped container can largely enhance the wear resistance and extreme smoothness of the surface to eliminate dirt adherence onto the surface. In a second embodiment, an ultraviolet ray curable coating is coated onto the bottle, followed by a transparent resin coating which is cross linked with the ultraviolet ray curable coating.

Saturated polyester bottle-shaped container with hard coating and method

A hollow blow-molded bottle-shaped container of biaxially oriented resin mixture material comprising a polyethylene terephthalate resin and a xylylene group-containing polyamide resin, wherein the resin mixture material contains 5 to 30% of the xylylene group-containing polyamide resin to the polyethylene terephthalate resin. In this container, inner and outer surface layers of the container are formed of the polyethylene terephthalate resin, and the intermediate layer of the container is formed of the mixture resin material. In this manner, the gas barrier properties of the container can be enhanced.

Bottle-shaped container

This invention relates to process for preparing saturated polyester resin bottles, that the residual strain of the bottles is reduced and the deforming temperature is elevated. The process is that a heated intermediate material (1) made of a saturated polyester resin is set in a mold (5), then compressed air is blown in the intermediate material (1) to orient the same biaxially, temperature in thus shaped bottle is elevated to a temperature higher than the heating temperature of the intermediate material (1) under the elevated pressure to effect thermal fixing and thereafter the saturated polyester resin bottle (19) is taken out.

Process for preparing saturated polyester resin bottles

A process for forming a collapsable tube having a flexible inner tube and a resilient outer tube. A shoulder member is formed having connecting surfaces. A flexible inner tube is joined to the shoulder member at a connecting surface. An outer tube encompassing the inner tube is joined to the shoulder member at a separate connecting surface so that the outer tube overlaps the joint between the inner tube and shoulder member. To resist permeation, the inner tube is formed by lap welding a laminated sheet of different natured materials and depositing a molten material along an edge of the sheet to seal it.
