Abstract
Abstract A parison, as a precursor of a container, composed at least of a thermoplastic resin (resin A) and another thermoplastic resin having excellent gas-barrier property (resin B) and containing a multilayered resin layer at least in an intermediate layer between an outermost layer and an innermost layer each composed of resin A at parts other than the open end part of the mouth portion of the parison, or wholly in the parison, said multilayered resin layer being formed by using an injection-molding machine equipped with a static mixing-stirring device provided in a nozzle portion of an injection cylinder, or in a mold, or in a resin flow passage between the nozzle portion and a mold, and injecting the resins A and B through the static mixing-stirring device so that flows of the resins A and B are divided in a plurality of thin layers parallel to the flowing direction; and a process for production thereof. A container obtained by biaxially stretching and blow-molding the said parison has excellent transparency, gas-barrier property and mechanical strength.
