[Problem] It is intended to provide a formed article for food which has excellent antistatic properties and water repellency without impairing its original external appearance and mechanical properties thereof even in a deep-drawn part having a high drawing ratio at forming or even through high temperature forming. [Solution] A multi-layer sheet is prepared having a multi-layer configuration with two or more types of two or more layers, including a main layer which contains a thermoplastic resin, talc and white pigment, and a skin layer of an antistatic resin composition which contains at least one type of thermoplastic resin and an antistatic agent on an opposite side. By thermoforming the sheet including the resin composition, a formed article which has excellent antistatic properties and water repellency effective for preventing contamination and adhesion of soup powder can be obtained. The polymer antistatic agent desirably contains a fatty acid ester sulfonate salt as a main component, has a surface resistivity of 10&#x3a9;/&#x25a1; or less, and has a water droplet contact angle of 90&#xb0; or more. The multi-layer sheet is desirably prepared by co-extrusion.

Thermoplastic resin sheets and formed articles

Provided is an instant noodles container lid that provides indication according to elapse of time from the start of boiling water process. An instant noodles container lid includes a surface member, an intermediate member, and a seal base member having a sealant layer in order, respectively, from one surface side. The surface member has a printed layer in an area other than a first area. The intermediate member includes a paper layer, a printed layer, a filling layer, and a wax layer in order, respectively, from the one surface side, and the wax layer is in a second area that covers the first area. A first half cut is formed from the surface member into the paper layer, in the first area. A second half cut is formed in the second area from the filling layer into the paper layer in a portion outside of the first area.

There are provided: a thermal history change type indicator by which the degree of reconstitution with hot water of instant cup noodles can be easily visually recognized in conjunction with the temperature in a container; and a set of a thermal history change type indicator and instant cup noodles comprising the thermal history change type indicator and instant cup noodles. The thermal history change type indicator comprises: a thermally meltable material layer containing a thermally meltable material; a permeation layer, wherein the permeation layer becomes transparent or translucent when the thermally meltable material melts and permeates the permeation layer; a thermally meltable material permeation-inhibiting layer for inhibiting the permeation of the thermally meltable material into the permeation layer, wherein the thermally meltable material permeation-inhibiting layer is arranged between the thermally meltable material layer and the permeation layer; and a protective layer, wherein the thermally meltable material layer, the permeation layer, and the thermally meltable material permeation-inhibiting layer are layered, and the permeation layer side of the layered product is covered with the protective layer. The set of a thermal history change type indicator and instant cup noodles comprises the thermal history change type indicator and instant cup noodles.
