Abstract

This ring heater comprises: a ring-shaped body part configured so as to allow the molten resin to pass through the inner peripheral side; a heater for raising the temperature of at least the inner peripheral surface of the body part; and a holding part made of an insulator. An annular portion of the heater positioned in the body part has an overlapping region at both ends, and a heating part of the heater is disposed over the entire circumference of the body part. The heater has a pair of lead-out parts connected to the ends of the annular portion and led out from the overlapping region toward the holding part. The holding part holds terminals respectively provided to the pair of lead-out parts. The overlapping region is a region in which both ends of the annular portion are adjacent to each other in the radial direction of the body part.

Abstract

These pellets contain EVOH and satisfy formulas (1) to (3) when subjected to an IR spectrum analysis where, in a range from 1120 cm-1to 1150 cm-1, a surface and a cut surface of each of the pellets are subjected to measurement at 5°C interval in the temperature range from 30°C to 200°C. Such pellets allow stable melt molding, and suppress the occurrence of die buildup during melt molding. Therefore, the pellets are suitably used for producing a molded article such as a multilayer structure body. Formula (1): 40 ≤ Tcmin ≤ 100; Formula (2): 10 ≤ Tcmin-Tsmin ≤ 70; Formula (3): -15 < Tcmax − Tsmax < 15, where: Tcmin (°C) is the lowest temperature at which the IR spectrum of the pellet cut surface has a maximum point; Tsmin (°C) is the lowest temperature at which the IR spectrum of the pellet surface has a maximum point; Tcmax (°C) is the maximum temperature at which the IR spectrum of the pellet cut surface has a maximum point, and Tsmax (°C) is the highest temperature at which the IR spectrum of the pellet surface has a maximum point.

Abstract

This method for producing a polyvinyl alcohol resin comprises a washing step for continuously washing polyvinyl alcohol particles. The polyvinyl alcohol particles subjected to a first washing step are obtained by saponifying a polyvinyl ester using an alkali catalyst. In the first washing step, the polyvinyl alcohol particles and a first washing solution containing 50 mass% or more of methanol and 0.1-10 mass% of an acid are mixed to form a slurry, and the alkali catalyst residue content in the polyvinyl alcohol particles is reduced. In a second washing step, the slurry and a second washing solution containing 50 mass% or more of methanol and having an acid concentration of less than 0.1 mass% are brought into contact with each other to reduce the acid content in the polyvinyl alcohol particles. As a result, a method for producing a polyvinyl alcohol resin is provided, whereby an alkali catalyst residue contained in the saponified PVA particles can be continuously and efficiently removed.

Abstract

This polyvinyl alcohol film has a refractive index of 1.500600-1.500740 in the MD direction. In the polyvinyl alcohol film, the average inclination value of the film thicknesses in the MD direction is 0.0265 μm/mm or less. In such a polyvinyl alcohol film, film breakage is suppressed even when subjected to a stretch treatment at a higher temperature and a higher ratio than in conventional treatments, and color unevenness when used as a polarizing film is less likely to be visually recognized.
