Abstract: A blow molding machine comprising a base, a wheel mounted rotationally on the base, a controller to control operation of a pin within a die, and a position detector for detecting a short run mold on the wheel wherein the wheel comprises a plurality of identical molds and the short run mold which differs in size and/or shape from each of the plurality of identical molds. The position detector, upon detecting the short run mold, switches a relay to switch from a first pin control program causing the extrusion of a parison having appropriate parameters for the plurality of identical molds, to a second pin control program causing the extrusion of a parison having appropriate parameters for the short run mold.

Abstract: Films comprising a first layer, composition of said first layer comprising a blend of an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer; linear low density polyethylene; a second ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer; and slip; a second layer, composition of said second layer comprising ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer and wherein each first and second layer having two surfaces; a third layer, composition of said third layer comprising vinylidene chloride methyl acrylate and wherein said third layer is disposed between said first and second layer; a fourth layer, composition of said fourth layer being the same as said first layer wherein said fourth layer is adhered to said first layer on the surface opposite said third layer; and a fifth layer, composition of said fifth layer comprising a blend of linear low density polyethylene and low density polyethylene wherein said fifth layer is adhered to said second layer on the surface opposite said third layer are provided for.

Abstract: A high-barrier non-foil laminate composition is disclosed. The laminate composition comprises an outer heat stable layer, a barrier layer, and an inner layer that readily adheres to metal with the application of heat. The outer and inner layers may be bonded to the barrier layer by means of adhesive layers. Preferably, the outer layer comprises a material with a higher melting temperature than the inner layer such as polyethylene terephthalate. The barrier layer may be a high-barrier saran and the sealant layer may be a copolymer of ethylene and acrylic acid.
