A resin composition comprises a thermoplastic resin, a non-terpene-series higher fatty acid or a derivative thereof and a black pigment. As the higher fatty acid or derivative thereof, use can be made of, for example, a saturated higher fatty acid having about 12 to 30 carbon atoms or a metal salt thereof. As the thermoplastic resin, use can be made of, for example, an acrylic resin A and a styrenic resin B. As the black dye or pigment, use can be made of, for example, carbon black. The resin composition may contain a dye or pigment such as titanium oxide. A clearly defined white marking is developed on the above resin composition by laser irradiation.

Resin composition for white marking

A tearable film comprising a resin blend which is: (1) a blend of a first polymer which is a styrenic polymer and a second polymer selected from the group consisting of a polyester and a polyamide; or (2) a first polymer which is a polyester and a second polymer selected from the group consisting of a polycarbonate, an acrylic polymer and a polyamide. The film has an continuous phase and a dispersed phase, thereby forming an islands-sea structure, wherein the continuous phase constitutes 35-98 wt % and the dispersed phase constitutes 2-65 wt % of the film.

Easy tearable films and method of producing the same

A laminated film is obtained by laminating, through a liquid crystal polymer layer, a thermoplastic polymer layer which is adhesive to the liquid crystal polymer layer, on a thermoplastic polymer layer which is not adhesive to the liquid crystal polymer layer, such lamination being made in a co-extrusion molding machine, by extruding the laminated layers from a die and by separating the non-adhesive thermoplastic polymer layer from the liquid crystal polymer layer. The adhesive thermoplastic polymer layer is preferably formed by a modified polyolefin into which a functional group is being introduced. The non-adhesive thermoplastic polymer layer is preferably formed by an olefin polymer or a polyalkylene terephthalate.

The polyester-grafted polyamide of the present invention comprises a polyamide as the backbone and a thermoplastic polyester as the graft and has a number-average molecular weight in terms of standard polymethyl methacrylate of 50,000 to 500,000 as determined by gel permeation chromatography using 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoro-2-propanol. The polyester-grafted polyamide is useful as a modifier for polyesters and polyamides.
