Abstract:
A multi-layer sheet structure is provided. The multi-layer sheet structure comprises at least one structural layer comprising high impact polystyrene and at least one moisture barrier layer comprising greater than about 30 percent cyclic olefin copolymer by weight of the at least one moisture barrier layer.
Abstract:
A cable including a core, a strength member surrounding the inner metal tube, and an outer layer surrounding the first layer, wherein the outer layer includes a polycarbonate material.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a component comprising a base part (2), a seal element (3), an insert element (4), and an encapsulation (6) which extends at least partly around the insert element (4) and at least partly around the base part (2). The insert element (4) is arranged between the encapsulation (6) and the seal element (3).
Abstract:
A polyamide resin composition contains a resin component containing at least a polyamide (X) and a fatty acid metallic salt having from 10 to 50 carbon atoms, and contains arbitrarily an additive (A) and/or an additive (B). The polyamide (X) is obtained through melt polycondensation of a diamine component containing 70% by mol or more of m-xylylenediamine and a dicarboxylic acid component containing 70% by mol or more of an ±,É-linear aliphatic dicarboxylic acid. The additive (A) is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a diamide compound obtained from a fatty acid having from 8 to 30 carbon atoms and a diamine having from 2 to 10 carbon atoms, a diester compound obtained from a fatty acid having from 8 to 30 carbon atoms and a diol having from 2 to 10 carbon atoms, and a surfactant, and the additive (B) is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a metallic hydroxide, a metallic acetate salt, a metallic alkoxide, a metallic carbonate salt and a fatty acid.
Abstract:
A blow-molded PET container comprising a wall having a density of between about 1.370 g/cc and 1.385 g/cc, a heat-induced crystallinity of from about 18% to about 25%, and a strain-induced crystalinity of from about 55% to about 75%, wherein the PET container, when filled with a liquid having a temperature of from about 100° C. to about 132° C. or when subjected to a pasteurization or retort process, will not experience a change in volume of greater than 3%.
Abstract:
A dispenser for storing and dispensing a substance, includes: (a) an inner layer including an inner layer polymer; (b) outer layer; (c) a metal foil barrier layer between the inner layer and the outer layer; (d) a compartment for storing the substance; and (e) a resealable opening, wherein the outer layer includes an outer layer polymer and a block copolymer effective to provide the outer layer with an impact resistance at least 5% greater than a reference structure. The inner layer polymer is preferably LDPE, the outer layer polymer is preferably a blend of LDPE, HDPE and block copolymer or alternatively the outer layer is subdivided into layers of LDPE, HDPE and block-copolymer, in this order. The block copolymer is preferably an SBS block copolymer having thermoplastic elastomer properties. The dispenser is particularly well-suited for dispensing toothpaste.
