The laminated film comprises: an easily tearable barrier film ( ) which is made up of a first layer ( ) to a third layer ( ), has undergone stretching in a stretch ratio of 2.8 or higher in each of the machine and transverse directions, and has undergone thermal fixing by heat treatment at 120 to 195&deg; C. so that it has a shrinkage of 15 to 40% through 20-minutes immersion in pressurized 120&deg; C. water; and a sealant film ( ) laminated to the film ( ). The first layer ( ) and the third layer ( ) each contains 60 to 85 parts by weight of Ny6, 15 to 40 parts by weight of MXD6, and 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of a modifier, while the second layer ( ) contains 0 to 40 parts by weight of a thermoplastic resin such as Ny6, 60 to 95 parts by weight of MXD6, and 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of a modifier.

Disclosed are an easy-cleavage shrink laminate film which is harmless to the environment, easy to tear and moderately shrinkable, and a bag made of the laminate film. The easy-cleavage shrink laminate film,has a basic, two-layered structure composed of an easy-cleavage shrink film,and a sealant film,and may optionally comprise an additional sealant film,and/or a substrate film,to have a multi-layered structure. The easy-cleavage shrink film,comprises from 40 to 85 parts by weight of Ny 6 and from 15 to 60 parts by weight of MXD 6, and this is drawn at an orientation ratio of not smaller than 2.8 times both in the MD direction and in the TD direction and thermally fixed at a heat-treating temperature falling between 120 and 195&deg; C. to thereby have a degree of shrinkage of from 15 to 40% when it is put in hot water at 120&deg; C. under pressure of about 2.0 kg/cm,for 20 minutes.

There is provided an anti-bacterial mildewproofing laminate, comprising at least two films or sheets each having organic substance permeability different from one another; and at least one adhesive layer which comprises an anti-bacterial mildewproofing agent containing parachlorometaxylenol as an active ingredient, and which intervenes between the adjacent films or sheets so that they are clad to one another. The above laminate exhibits durable anti-bacterial and mildewproofing actions without any special processing, is inexpensive, and shows anti-bacterial and mildewproofing actions even on surfaces out of contact with the laminate

Laminate having anti-bacterial and mildewproofing actions

An oriented splittable film which contains nylon and meta-xylylene adipamide at a weight ratio of 40-85:15-60 and which was oriented with a magnification above 2.8 times in both directions of MD and TD. Examples of nylon include nylon 66, nylon 6-66 copolymer and so on. Under this manufacturing method for an oriented splittable film, when a raw film is heated in a biaxially orienting process, such as the tubular method, the heating temperature at the side part of the film, in the direction of film width,,when folding the bubbles, is controlled along the circumference direction of the bubbles so that it is lower than the heating temperature of the part of the film which is used later as a product. The heat treatment process for these films includes a first heat treatment step implemented for films at temperatures between 120 degrees C and 190 degrees C based on the tubular method or tenter method and a second heat treatment step implemented for films at temperatures between 190 degrees C and 220 degrees C based on the tenter method.

Oriented film easy to split

A method of and an apparatus for biaxially orienting a crystalline thermoplastic resin film and subsequently thermally processing the film with first and second heating devices, in which the temperatures of respective heaters for biaxially orienting the film are separately controlled, the first heating device being operated by a tubular method or a tenter method, and the second heating device being operated under a tenter method and above the temperature in the first heating device, whereby a melting and sticking of the film is prevented and the bowing ratio is decreased.

Method of and an apparatus for thermally processing crystalline

The invention relates to processes for producing biaxially oriented single-layered and multilayered films. The biaxially oriented single-layered film receives stresses in the range of 500 kg/cm.sup.2 to 1500 kg/cm.sup.2 each in the machine and transverse directions of the film. The multilayered film receives stresses in the range of 300 kg/cm.sup.2 to 1250 kg/cm.sup.2 each in the machine and transverse directions of the film. Thus, the molding stability in biaxial orientation of a nylon film is improved and the thickness accuracy of a resulting film is improved.

With the package of the second invention, an article can be efficiently protected during its storage and transportation, and thus an easily scratchable article can be effectively protected.

Multi-layer film and package

A method of biaxially stretching a tubular thermoplastic resin to provide a film, wherein air is blown against a starting point for heating and stretching the tube, from the upstream side of the starting point, at a predetermined angle relative to the feeding direction of the film. An apparatus for achieving this method includes: two pairs of nip rolls being different in circumferential speed between the pairs; a heating-stretching section interposed between the pairs of nip rolls, for heating the tube to a temperature where the tube can be stretched; and an air ring device for blowing air in the feeding direction of the film.
