Abstract: A sidebrazed ceramic package is provided with a closure seal that employs a high alumina ceramic lid that matches the composition of the package body. The lid is provided with a recess in the sealing face and the sealing face is provided with metallization that adheres to the ceramic and is wet by solder. The metallized ceramic lid is sealed to the metallization ring on the sidebrazed ceramic body by means of the conventional gold-tin solder. The resultant hermetic seal can be insepcted by observing the solder fillet in the lid recess. Such a closure seal is fully hermetic and can readily survive repeated thermal cycling.

Abstract: The packaging of fresh fruit and vegetables is effected in a package at least part of which is made of a transparent film of a polymeric material. The film has a high rate of gas permeability and is impervious to the ingress of bacteria. As the fruit and vegetables continue to respire in the package an atmosphere is set up inside the package which serves to retard spoilage, mould growth and flavor deterioration, thereby providing the package with a longer shelf life than an open receptacle. The film is preferably polymethyl pentene and may form all the container or a lid to a rigid receptacle.

Abstract: A seal layer for use in large institutional-sized retort pouches comprises an ABA film structure wherein the A layers are each composed of a blend of a minor amount of an elastomer and a major amount of a polyolefin, and the B layer is composed of a blend of a major amount of an elastomer and a minor amount of a polyolefin. Retort pouches made with this ABA film structure as the seal layer exhibits improved impact strength.

Abstract: A removable coupon label structure comprising a casting substrate; a resin film attached to the casting substrate to form a composite web; and an adhesive situated on the resin film side of the composite web whereby the composite web is suitable for mounting on a backing substance and the casting substrate may be separated from the resin film at a desired release force of about 10 to about 100 grams per inch width.

Abstract: Heat-sealable sheet material for use in the fabrication of lapped-seam membrane. In a presently preferred construction, linear low density polyethylene film is adhered to one lateral border of cured polymerized EPDM composition; preferably the adhesive is protected with a removable liner, e.g., a polyester film until lapped-seam splicing is to be carried out. A transfer tape based on thermoplastic heat-sealable adhesive carried by a strippable liner also constitute part of the invention. The transfer tape is advantageously applied to a sheet of uncured EPDM compound and the resultant assembly subjected to heat and pressure to cure the compound and bond the heat-sealable adhesive firmly thereto.

Abstract: This invention describes a platable plastic material that uses a phosphide compound as a filler at levels of 5 to 40 weight percent. The phosphide filler used in this way has good dielectric properties and is non-conductive, but the phosphide provides coupling sites for a conductive plating to initiate and to bond to the filler and thus to the plastic. Surface treatment of the plastic may be needed to expose the particles but this invention removes requirements for catalytic treatment with noble metal chlorides and relies on bonding mechanisms other than the mechanical grip on a rough surface.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for the manufacture and stretching of a laminate comprising forming at least two laminates, which are stretched together in superposed relation, from at least four films so as to form a combination of laminates and subsequently peeling said combination to form separate laminates. A laminate prepared in this manner is advantageous in that one of its surfaces has a high smoothness evidenced by high gloss and a high coefficient of friction which makes the laminate particularly suitable for use in the production of high quality sacks.

Abstract: An enclosure (1) around a substrate (3) such as a telecommunications cable is made pressure retaining by the provision of re-entrant seals (5), generally V-shaped in cross-section, that are positioned at the region where the enclosure is bonded (4) to the substrate pressure within the enclosure thus tends to open the V rather than put the bond in peel. The re-entrant seals may be cut-to-length in the field and a leak path through the resulting open end (23) avoided by using pressure (P) within the enclosure to close the open end or to balance pressure across it.

Abstract: Laminates comprising a film of heat-shrinkable synthetic resin and a metallic foil laminated to the resin film through a bonding layer which comprises a discontinuous layer of a synthetic resin which flows at a temperature for heat shrinkage and an adhesive layer which maintains its adhesive strength at that temperature. Upon heat shrinkage, the metallic foil will wrinkle at the portions in contact with the synthetic resin which is not highly adhesive at the temperature for heat shrinkage. The heat-shrunk laminate can be formed into a casing or container such as an electromagentic interference shield, a packaging material, and decorative material.

Abstract: Multiple layer films and containers. The films have a first layer of either nylon 6,6 or a combination of nylon 6,6 with nylon 6 wherein the melting point temperature of the combination is greater than the melting point temperature of the corresponding nylon 6. A second layer is comprised of linear low density polyethylene, and 0% to 40% low density polyethylene. A third adhesive layer is disposed between the first and second layers. The containers are susceptible of being sealed with included gas at low pressure, and subsequently boiled in water without rupture of the seals. The film is preferably coextruded from tubular die, thereby setting forth a new method for forming a mulitple layer film comprising a combination of linear low density polyethylene, optionally with up to 40% low density polyethylene, and nylon 6,6, optionally combined with nylon 6 in a composition having a melting point temperature greater than that of the corresponding nylon 6.
