A film of the present invention includes, as its main component, an aliphatic polyester whose primary repeating unit is represented by a general formula &mdash;O&mdash;CHR&mdash;CO&mdash; (where R denotes H or an alkyl group having a carbon number of 1-3). A three-dimensional surface roughness SRa of at least one side of the film is about 0.01 &mgr;m to about 0.1 &mgr;m. PCC value denoting the number of projections on the film per a unit of area along a mean roughness plane and the three-dimensional surface roughness SRa satisfy the following relationship: PCC value&lE;7000-45000&times;SRa.

Coated polyester film

An aliphatic polyester film comprising, as a main component, a polylactic acid having a reduced viscosity (&eegr;sp/C) of not less than 0.50 dl/g and not more than 2.50 dl/g, wherein the film has a thermal shrinkage in the longitudinal direction at 120&deg; C. of not more than 5.0% is provided. The aliphatic polyester film of the present invention is provided which is useful as a packaging film and an adhesive tape, superior in hand tearability, twist retention, processability and film forming property, and which is biodegradable when placed in a natural environment.

Aliphatic polyester film

A biaxially oriented polyamide resin film superior in slip characteristics and transparency, which comprises a polyamide resin containing surface-forming fine particles in a proportion of 0.03-0.80% by weight of the film, the film surface having protrusions formed by the fine particles contained in a proportion of 200-1,000 protrusions/mm.sup.2, and the area proportion of voids formed on the film surface being not more than 0.1%. The present invention provides a biaxially oriented polyamide resin film strong and superior in resistance to pinhole, laminating property and appearance, which is free of curling or peeling of laminated films (delamination) when subjected to boiling water treatment and which has superior properties as a packing material, particularly, a packing bag for retort-packed food.

An oriented polystyrene film including a polystyrene polymer having a syndiotactic configuration, the film having a thickness of 25 .mu.m or more, and a rectangular sample of the film having a value C expressed by equation (I) of 0.007 or less: ##EQU1## wherein A.sub.max is obtained by designating four squares respectively in four apices of the rectangular sample, each square having sides of 100 mm in length, and setting an orientation direction of molecules of a first square to 0.degree., A.sub.max being an absolute value of a maximum angle among angles defined by the orientation direction of molecules of the first square and an orientation direction of molecules of each of the other three squares, R is expressed by equation (II) but is defined as 1 when exceeding 1:

Oriented film including polystyrene polymer having syndiotactic

A void-containing polyester-type film is obtained by drawing a resin composition sheet consisting of a polyester, and a thermoplastic resin which is not compatible with the polyester in at least one direction. The film of this invention has a film base material consisting mainly of the polyester, fine particles consisting mainly of the thermoplastic resin which are dispersed into the film base material, and fine voids formed around the fine particles. The film of this invention has a surface layer having 3 .mu.m or more thickness, a void percentage of 4% by volume or less in an area having 3 .mu.m thickness from its surface, and an average void percentage of 8% by volume to 50% by volume. The film of this invention has excellent softeness, lightness, and hiding power, and excellent surface strength. The film can be used as a base material for a label, etc.

Void-containing polyester-type film, and its laminate

An oriented polyester film comprising ethylene terephthalate as the major repeating units, which comprises 0.01 to 1.0% by weight of silica particles and/or titanium dioxide particles having each an average particle size of 0.01 to 0.5.mu. and 0.005 to 1.0% by weight of calcium carbonate having an average particle size of 0.01 to 0.5.mu., which provides an oriented polyester film for the base film of video tape which has a flatness on the surface and has excellent slipperiness, abrasion resistance and running characteristics as well as excellent magnetic transducer characteristics.

Oriented polyester film

A blow-molded multi-ply vessel having excellent physical properties and good appearance which comprises two or more kinds of thermoplastic resins, at least one of which is a thermoplastic polyester resin, said vessel having a multi-ply structure of three or more layers at least at the thin wall part of the body thereof and a single layer structure at least at the open end of the mouth part thereof, and at least the thin wall part of the body being biaxially orientated. The vessel is produced by sequently and alternatively injecting two or more kinds of molten thermoplastic resins into one mold with shifting injection timing from a molding machine having plural injection cylinders with one mold closing operation to form a multi-ply parison and then blow-molding the parison at an orientating temperature.
