Abstract

A resin composition having as a main ingredient a block copolymer composed of at least one type of vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon and a conjugated diene, the resin composition being characterized in that the Vicat softening point temperature measured under a 10-N load as per ISO306 is 65-90° C., the flexural strength measured as per ISO178 is 58-80 MPa, the proportion of the conjugated diene in the resin composition is 10-25 mass %, and the resin composition has molecular weight peaks, the peaks being derived from the block copolymer composed of the vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon and the conjugated diene, at molecular weights in the ranges of 70,000-150,000 and 150,000-350,000, respectively.

Claims (11)

1. A resin composition comprising block copolymers consisting of a vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon and butadiene, the resin composition (i) having a Vicat softening temperature of 65 to 90° C. measured with a load of 10 N in accordance with ISO306, (ii) having a bending strength of 58 MPa to 80 MPa measured at a test speed of 2 mm/min in accordance with ISO178, (iii) having a proportion of the resin composition occupied by the butadiene being 11 to 22 mass %, and (iv) has one block copolymer (II) having a molecular weight peak in the range of 80000 to 150000 and another block copolymer (I) having a molecular weight peak in the range of 170000 to 300000, wherein

in the block copolymer (I), a proportion of the block copolymer occupied by the butadiene is 5 to 13 mass %, and

in the block copolymer (II), a proportion of the block copolymer occupied by the butadiene is 28 to 70 mass %,

the block copolymer (II) has at least one type of vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon polymer block at a terminus, and

a weight ratio between block copolymers (I) and (II) is (I)/(II)=50/50 to 95/5.

2. The resin composition according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one type of polymer chosen from among the following (A) to (C) at a maximum of up to 30 mass %:

(A) a vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon polymer;

(B) a copolymer consisting of a vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon and an acrylic acid ester; and

(C) a hydrogenated block copolymer consisting of a vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon and the butadiene.

3. A heat shrinkable film comprising the resin composition according to claim 1 .

4. A container comprising the heat shrinkable film according to claim 3 .
