  • Patent number: 11718461
    Abstract: Composite materials, and sealing foils prepared with such composite materials for sealing a container, where the composite materials include an inner layer configured to face the container during sealing, the inner layer being single- or multi-layer, and including a self-contained and closed weakening line; an outer layer that may be single- or multi-layer, and that is configured to be peeled from the inner layer; where an area of the inner layer delimited by the closed weakening line remains attached to the outer layer when the outer layer is peeled from the inner layer, thereby creating a hole in the inner layer; the outermost of the inner layers is in contact with the outer layer, and includes a semicrystalline ethylene-propylene copolymer that is substantially free of dienes; and the innermost of the outer layers is a barrier layer or a lacquer.

  • Patent number: 10954401
    Abstract: Sealing lacquer for application in a printing process, in particular for sealing packaging parts which can be peeled off from one another. The sealing lacquer has in particular a) 40 to 65 wt % solvent, b) 0 to 10 wt % styrene butadiene block copolymer, c) 8 to 12 wt % styrene alpha methylstyrene, d) 6 to 12 wt % linear and/or radial Tri-block (SBS) block, e) 0 to 10 wt % linear Di-Block (SB) block, f) 15 to 30 wt % polyester, and g) up to 3 wt % antioxidant. The sealing lacquer provides a seal that, whether the seal is opened by peeling, or the packaging is push-through packaging, provides a holding force exhibiting a strength until cohesion failure that is determined by the pressures and temperatures used during sealing.

  • Patent number: 10766236
    Abstract: In order to improve the sealing properties and the sliding properties of a sealing film, surface structures are provided on a first side of the sealing film, the greatest thickness of the sealing film being at least 10% greater than the smallest thickness of the sealing film and the greatest lateral extension of the surface structures being less than 500 ?m. A slip additive is added to the sealing film in a maximum quantity that results in an S-value of less than 10,000, preferably less than 5,000, in order to achieve a COF relative to steel of dynamically less than 0.3, preferably less than 0.27, and statically less than 0.35, preferably less than 0.3, with the side comprising the surface structures, irrespective of an addition of an antiblock additive to the sealing film.

  • Patent number: 10751979
    Abstract: The present teaching describes a recyclable polyethylene film of at least 80% polyethylene material and max. 20% compatible polyolefin material. The polyethylene film is less than 40 ?m and has a central layer of linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and/or metallocene linear low-density polyethylene (mLLDPE) and two outer layers made of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and bonded to the central layer and surrounding a central layer. The HDPE content of the polyethylene film constitutes at least 60 vol %, preferably at least 70 vol %, especially preferably at least 80 vol. The two outer layers together are at least three times as thick as the central layer, preferably at least four times as thick. The polyethylene film is stretched in at least one direction.

  • Publication number: 20200071538
    Abstract: A sealable anti-corrosion coating for packaging films for packaging aggressive products such as perfumed cream, oil, fat emulsion, acidic or alkaline detergents, alcoholic products, especially aluminum-based plates with which cups or containers filled with such goods are sealed. The coating includes: a) one or more solvents, b) one or more reactive binding agents, e) one or more sealing components and f) one or more acid catalysts. The resulting aluminum foil is suitable for packaging aggressive goods, achieving both corrosion protection and high seal strength.

  • Patent number: 10414125
    Abstract: In order to be able to set the bending stiffness of a composite material having at least two plies connected by a laminating agent, it is provided that a mixture of a first, curing adhesive and a second, non-curing adhesive is used as laminating agent, wherein the bending stiffness of the composite material is set by the mixing ratio of the two adhesives.

  • Patent number: 10401160
    Abstract: For a simple, fast, safe and reliable determination of the layer thickness of a bonding layer between two layers of a packaging, a laser ultrasonic method is provided, in which the transit time of the ultrasonic wave through the first and second packaging layers (2, 3) is determined in advance, and a maximum (M1, M2, Mn) in the measurement signal (S) is sought, and the point in time of occurrence of this maximum (M1, M2, Mn) is determined as the total transit time (T1, T2, Tn) of the ultrasonic wave, and the transit time of the ultrasonic wave through the first and second packaging layers (2, 3) is subtracted from the total transit time (T1, T2, Tn), and the thickness (d) of the bonding layer is deduced from the known ultrasonic speed (vS) in the bonding layer (5).
