The present invention provides a multi-layer resin film having excellent oxygen gas barrier properties, particularly even at high humidity, and further having no chlorine content. The multi-layer resin film of the present invention has a biaxially-stretched polypropylene resin film, an adhesive layer formed on at least one surface of the polypropylene resin film, and a polyvinyl alcohol resin layer formed on the adhesive layer, wherein the polyvinyl alcohol resin layer has a value of crystallinity parameter (CP (M//) &perp;) not less than 0.8. The multi-layer resin film of the present invention can be prepared by forming an adhesive layer on at least one surface of an unstretched polypropylene resin film; stretching the film in one direction; forming a polyvinyl alcohol resin layer on the adhesive layer; and stretching the film in another direction perpendicular to the direction of previous stretching.

Multi-layer resin films having excellent oxygen gas barrier properties and process for their production

Thermal recording media each having as a support or a part thereof, a void-containing polyolefin film with a void volume of from 10 cc to smaller than 40 cc per 100 g of the film. The thermal recording media can attain the excellent advantages that they have high resolving power, they can give high-density and distinct images recorded even with very small printing energy, they have high delamination resistance, i.e., they are not easily delaminated by adhesive tape or others, and they have high opacifying power and high elasticity.
