  • Low-modulus elastomeric compositions and articles made therewith
    Patent number: 10456290
    Abstract: The present invention provides an elastomeric composition for making elastomeric articles having at least one layer, such as but not limited to condoms, which have a deformation stress or modulus below about 1.5 MPa at 500% extension, comprising at least one polymeric material, at least one plasticizer and optionally at least one coating. The elastomeric articles also have unique tactile and tensile properties, such as conformability and low radius of curvature.
    Type: Grant

  • Three-dimensional dye migration time indicator
    Publication number: 20070140068
    Abstract: The present invention provides a time indicator and method of use for determining and visually displaying the passage of a predetermined period of time. The time indicator of the present invention comprises a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion is a multi-layer segment comprising a dye support layer coated with a masking layer, which containing a viewing window therethrough, and a non-curing ink or dye permeable polymer layer containing a migrating agent. The bottom portion is a multi-layer segment comprising a base support layer and a migrating ink or dye printed on the top surface of the base segment. The time indicator apparatus further comprises a removable impervious film or middle layer, which can be removed allowing the top and bottom portions to come into contact with one another, thereby activating the time indicator. The time indicator of the present invention allows one to follow the uniform directional visual dye migration through the viewing window.

  • Reduction or prevention of container deformation due to solutions contained therein
    Patent number: 6386245
    Abstract: A method of preventing a deformable container from deforming when it contains a solution, which solution contains a dissolved gas or a species which under storage conditions is capable of generating a gaseous species is disclosed. The method is to provide a headspace in the container which headspace is enriched in the gaseous species which the solution is prone to give up to the atmosphere in the absence of such enrichment.
