Abstract:
A multilayer structure comprising a sealant layer which comprises (a) a blend comprising (i) from 80 to 95 percent by weight of at least one ethylene/α-olefin interpolymer composition which comprises a homogeneously branched linear ethylene polymer composition and a heterogeneously branched linear ethylene polymer composition and (ii) from 5 to 20 percent by weight of at least one high pressure ethylene polymer characterized as having a melt index, I2 less than 6.0 g/10 minutes, a density of at least 0.916 g/cc, a Mw/Mn ratio of at least 7.0, wherein the blend has a melt index, 12, of at least 1.0 g/10 minutes; and (b) a low density polyethylene composition which comprises at least two components selected from the group consisting of homogeneously and heterogeneously branched linear ethylene polymers, wherein the composition has density from 0.90 to 0.930 g/cc and an I2 of from 1 to 50 g/10 minutes is provided.
Abstract:
Disclosed, among others, are a multilayer film that permits thermal printing or printing by application of pressure from pressure-applying devices. The structure includes an extruded, outer skin layer and an extruded internal pigment layer. Further, the structure includes an extruded image-rendering layer intermediate to the outer skin layer and the pigment layer, the image-rendering layer including a collapsible layer structure, sensitive to the application of temperature and/or pressure, having dispersed therein a plurality of voids, the collapsible layer structure in uncollapsed condition being substantially opaque to obscure from view the pigment layer there beneath. The collapsible layer structure is selectively collapsible by application of temperature and/or pressure to temporarily elevate localized temperature or pressure at the collapsible layer structure at select locations, so as to provide substantially transparent collapsed structure at the select locations, the pigment layer being visible through the substantially transparent collapsed structure.
Abstract:
Disclosed in this invention is a method for improving tear resistance of stretch films in which two stretch films are bonded together with an adhesive by hot rolling or UV curing such that their primary stretch directions cross each other. Composite films resulting from the invention possess significantly improved slit tear strength and tear resistance over biaxially stretched films with the same thicknesses. The invention can be widely used to improve tear resistance of stretch films fabricated from various existing materials and processes. In addition, it allows simple operations and is readily applicable to mass production.
Abstract:
Shrink film having a desirable balance of properties is manufactured from a polyethylene blend composition having a fractional melt index and a molecular weight distribution of from about 2.5 to about 7. The blend composition comprises a first blend component that is made with a single site catalyst and has a molecular weight of greater than about 140,000 and a first density, d1. The blend composition also contains a second blend component having a lower molecular weight and a second density, d2, that is greater than the density of d1 in an amount of from about 0.018 to about 0.032 g/cc. The films of this disclosure may be used, for example, as an overwrap or pallet wrap to protect goods during shipping and in food packaging applications (such as shrink wrap for frozen poultry).
Abstract:
Disclosed is a packaging sheet for packaging of cheese, in particular white moulded soft cheese. The packaging sheet comprises: an inner surface and an outer surface of the packaging sheet, said inner surface being configured for facing the cheese in a packaged use position of the packaging sheet; a paper layer with a first surface and a second surface; a coloured layer provided on a first surface of the paper layer, an outer surface of the coloured layer establishing said outer surface of the packaging sheet; and a polymer layer with a water vapour transmission rate of at least 300 g/m 2 /24 hours at 38°C and 90 % atmospheric humidity. The polymer layer being coated on the second surface of the paper layer with a first surface of the polymer layer facing the paper layer and a second surface of the polymer layer establishing said inner surface of the packaging sheet.
Abstract:
A laminated composition includes a first polymer layer having a first surface and a second surface; a second polymer layer having a first surface and a second surface; and an adhesive layer joining the second surface of the first polymer layer to a first surface of the second polymer layer; where the adhesive layer includes a heat-shrinkable resin including heat-generating particles.
Abstract:
A sheet has a line of weakness 206 such as a perforation, cut or score line; and a layer 32 adjacent the line of weakness forms a valve 30 which opens in response to a pressure differential. The line of weakness can form the perimeter of an integral detatchable flap. The valve can extend up to or beyond this line of weakness. Ideally the sheet has multiple layers, a line of weakness 206 in one 200 being offset relative to a line of weakness 205 in another 202; resealable adhesive 203 can be provided between the lines so that the flap can be reclosed. There could be a tab extending from the flap to assist lifting and one of the layers can be a metal foil. The valve can be two or three time the thickness of the sheet the sheet can be used to form a package to contain a box or be contained in a box for tobacco.
