A thermoplastic resin composition containing an oxygen-absorbing agent, wherein a resin matrix of the thermoplastic resin composition is substantially non-compatible and is composed of a blend of thermoplastic resins or elastomers, and the non-compatible thermoplastic resins and elastomers are present as a non-uniformly distributed structure in the resin matrix. The packaging container or cap of this invention suppresses the lowering of flavor retention incident to the dissolving out of the oxygen absorbing agent or its oxidation product even after retorting sterilization. The preservability of the contents and flavor retention can be achieved for a long period of time. According to a preferred embodiment, the oxygen absorbing speed can be increased. After storage for a long time, or after heat sterilization, a rugged state does not occur. There can be formed the oxygen-absorbing resin composition and the packaging container having excellent outer appearance.

A bottle having substantially no strain due to fluidized orientation in the bottom portion thereof which is homogeneously and uniformly drawn, and, as a result, exhibiting improved shock resistance and buckling strength in the bottom portion, featuring excellent resistance against environmental cracking at the center in the bottom portion, without developing crazing or whitening during the preservation, and offering excellent appearance. The bottle is formed by biaxially stretch-blow-molding a thermoplastic resin, and has a mouth portion, a shoulder portion, a barrel portion and a bottom portion, said bottom portion without being substantially affected by the residual strain due to orientation by fluidization.

Heat-resistant pressure-resistant and self standing container and method

A method of preventing a container from becoming colored by contents of the container in a packaging process comprising filling and sealing colored contents in a packaging container having an inner surface comprising a plastic material and then disinfecting and sterilizing the contents by heat treatment, wherein said inner surface plastic material comprises a thermoplastic resin having a glass transition temperature (Tg) 10.degree. C. or more higher than the temperature of said heat treatment and a coefficient of moisture permeability at 40.degree. C. and 90% RH of 2.0 g.mm/m.sup.2.24 hr or less.

In a biaxially-stretch-blow-molded container there is a method of producing the same. Redraw ratio at the bottom portion is small in the secondary blow molding without employing a complex heating system but in which a secondary article obtained by subjecting a preform article to the primary blow molding is preferentially shrunk at its bottom portion, and a tertiary article or a quaternally article before being subjected to the secondary blow molding is obtained having a bottom of a flat shape or in which the central portion is recessed inwardly of the container and the periphery thereof is flattened. The bottle obtained by this method has a thickness and crystallinity in the bottom portion which are nearly the same as those of the center of the barrel and are highly oriented. The heat-resistant bottle exhibits excellent strength in the bottom portion and symmetrical panel-sinking stability in the vacuum pressure.

A process for producing biaxially drawn plastic bottles having excellent heat resistance and an apparatus therefor. The process comprises a step of biaxially drawing and free blow-molding the preformed article to obtain a secondary molded article thereof, a step of heating the secondary molded article by inserting it for 0.3 to 5 seconds in the infrared rays emitted from an infrared-ray radiation member that has a substantially planar radiation surface having a height larger than that of the secondary molded article in the direction of height and having a surface temperature of from 350.degree. C. to 1000.degree. C., in order to obtain a tertiary product thereof that is shrunk, and a step for blow-molding the tertiary product that is in a heated state in a metal mold to obtain a final molded article. A single metal mold is used for blow-molding to shorten the time occupied by the metal mold and to produce the bottles having excellent heat resistance maintaining high productivity.
