  • Process for manufacturing a composition which can be used for the production of stoppers, composition and stopper comprising such a composition
    Patent number: 6013702
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for manufacturing a composition which can be used for producing stoppers.According to the invention, it comprises the following steps:a) sheets of cork are ground into small-sized granules,b) said cork granules are decomposed into granules having a high lignin content and into granules having a high suberin content, andc) the lignin-rich granules are separated from the suberin-rich granules in order to keep only the suberin-rich granules in said composition.The invention also relates to a composition comprising suberin-rich cork granules as well as to a stopper comprising such a composition.

  • Packaging containing an alcoholic or nonalcoholic aqueous beverage based on anethole
    Patent number: 5871791
    Abstract: The invention relates to a packaging made up of at least one inner, containing an alcoholic or nonalcoholic beverage based on anethole, in which the inner foil of said packaging is made up of a film of polyamide including aromatic units.The packaging is preferably intended to contain weakly alcoholic beverages and the polyamide results from the polycondensation of meta-xylylenediamine with adipic acid.
