Publication number: 20220411146Abstract: Various forms of tabbed sealing members are described along with the laminates from which the sealing members are formed. In some forms, the tabbed sealing members may generally be formed from materials that may be processed using a single recycling stream. In one form, the tabbed seals do not include any metal foils, such as would traditionally be included in induction heated seals. Instead, the seals may be applied in other manners, such as using ultrasonic sealing, conduction heating, high frequency sealing/welding, pressure sensitive adhesives, and the like.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 25, 2020Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Victor Sachs, Rafael Zamora

Patent number: 10005598Abstract: A primary laminate including a tabstock in which a seal laminate including a foil layer and a top foam layer, a tabstock and a plastic film stock are fed to a laminating station is provided herein. At the lamination station, a curtain of polymeric adhesive is extruded between the plastics film stock and the top face of the primary substrate, which is partly comprised of the top face of the tabstock and partly comprised of the top foam layer of the seal laminate. Use of primary laminates obtained by such a process to form seals for sealing a container, for food or drink stored at low temperatures, is also described.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2011Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: Selig Sealing Products, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Fenwick McLean, Victor Sachs, Craig Warren Thornhill

Patent number: 8308003Abstract: A seal for a container for comestibles, especially potable liquids, and in particular for use for sealing polyester containers such as bottles, which is suitable for passage through a PET recycling process, comprises a metal foil layer, a foam layer and a plastics film layer as well as a heat sealable layer below the foil. The foam is selected for its density and thickness so is to confer upon the seal a high buoyancy. The adhesion a between the foam and the foil is increased compared to currently available products, in order to prevent de-lamination between the foil and the foam during the recycling process.Type: GrantFiled: June 19, 2008Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Selig Sealing Products, Inc.Inventors: David John O'Brien, Victor Sachs, Andrew Fenwick McLean
