Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a polyester film comprising a mixture of polyesters designed for high heat applications. This innovative film features a laminate of a paper sheet and a biaxially oriented polyester film, which has a melting point ranging from 150°C to 240°C. The film exhibits a thickness of 0.2 to 3 micrometers, an average refractive index of 1.570 to 1.578, and a thermal shrinkage stress of 100 to 800 g/mm² after treatment at 80°C for 10 seconds. Additionally, it has a thermal shrinkage factor of 5 to 50% after being treated at 80°C for 10 minutes, and a shrinkage factor of 15% or less when treated in toluene at 25°C for 10 minutes. This original sheet is recognized for its excellent perforation sensitivity, resistance to curling, and high resolution and image density of printed images.
Another significant patent is for a shrinkable copolyester film. This film demonstrates a shrinkage of not less than 30% in the main shrink direction after 5 minutes of treatment in an air oven at 100°C. It also maintains a shrinkage of not more than 20% in the perpendicular direction during the same treatment. The film has an initial shrinkage stress of not more than 2000 g/mm² in the main shrink direction and a glass transition temperature of 35°C to 65°C. This innovative copolyester film is particularly suitable for use as a shrinkable label for PET bottles, showcasing excellent shrinkage properties.
