Abstract:
A seamless collapsible container has a molded finish, configured and adapted for sealing with a closure and, optionally, for attachment to a dispensing apparatus, and a seamless, blow molded body portion, comprising an inner surface, an outer surface, and a wall, where the wall is sufficiently thin to allow the body portion to collapse, and the molded finish and at least an inner layer of the body portion together comprise a seamless, single piece of thermoplastic material. The seamless collapsible container may be used in such applications as a bag-in-box, a carton liner, and a beverage pouch.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein are sheets, labels, label stock, and articles comprising the same. Additionally disclosed are method for making the sheets, labels, label stock, and articles comprising the same. In some embodiments, the sheets, labels, and label stock comprise one or more layers, wherein at least one layer comprises microspheres. In some embodiments, the sheets, labels, and label stock comprise one or more layers of a foam material. In some embodiments, one or more layers comprise a cellulose material.
Abstract:
Coated articles may comprise one or more coating layers, including water resistant coatings. A method comprises applying such coating layers by dip, spray or flow coating. The methods can make coated containers, preferably comprising polyethylene terephthalate, from coated preforms. In some methods, the aqueous solutions, dispersions, or emulsions are substantially or completely free of VOCs.

Abstract:
In preferred embodiments methods and apparatuses can produce articles that have formable material. The articles may be mono and multilayer. The articles can be formed by various methods.
Abstract:
Blends of non-solid stated RPET and an amount of PEN and/or NDC less than about 10 percent by weight are used as at least one layer of an article, such as a container or a preform for blow molding a container, having an inner layer of a thermoplastic material. The addition of the small amount of PEN and/or NDC allows the direct use of RPET without solid stating, and provides articles having environmental stress crack resistance, color, and organoleptic properties comparable to that of virgin PET.
Abstract:
The invention is an insulated label for maintaining the temperature of the contents of a package, formed from a polymeric thermoplastic closed cell foam having from about 5,000 to about 250,000 closed cells per cubic inch.
Abstract:
Thermoplastic resin coated metal, ceramic, and glass articles are made by providing a metal, ceramic, or glass article, applying an aqueous solution, suspension, and/or dispersion of a coating material comprising a first thermoplastic resin to a coated or uncoated surface of the article substrate by dip, spray, or flow coating, withdrawing the article from the dip, spray, or flow coating at a rate so as to form a first coherent film, removing any excess material resulting from the dip, spray, or flow coating, and curing and/or drying the coated article until the first film is substantially dried so as to form a first coating, where the first thermoplastic resin comprises a thermoplastic epoxy resin. Additional coatings of similar or different compositions may be applied onto the first coating in successive iterations of the steps of the inventive process.
