Abstract: Provided is a perforated plastic bag wherein the volume of said bag is 100 liters or more; wherein the average perforation diameter is 500 micrometers or less; wherein said plastic bag comprises a lower zone and a top zone, wherein the perforation density of said lower zone is greater than the perforation density of said top zone. Also provided is a method of using such a plastic bag.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a coextruded multilayer film. The coextruded multilayer film includes a core component having from 10 to 1000 alternating layers of layer A and layer B. Layer A has a thickness from 30 nm to 1000 nm and includes a polymer selected from an ethylene/a-olefin copolymer, an ethylene vinyl acetate polymer (EVA), an ethylene methyl-acrylate copolymer (EMA), an ethylene n-butyl acetate polymer (EnBA), and combinations thereof. Layer B has a thickness from 30 nm to 1000 nm. Layer B is a blend composed of (i) a polymer selected from an ethylene-based polymer, an EVA, an EMA, an EnBA, and combinations thereof, and (ii) a particulate filler material. The core component has a water vapor transmission rate from 50 to less than 500 g-mil/m2/24 hr and a carbon dioxide transmission rate from 50,000 to 300,000 cc-mil/m2/24 hr/atm.

Abstract: Polyolefin dispersions, froths, and foams and articles manufactured therefrom are disclosed. Also disclosed is a method for generating a thermoplastic foam from an aqueous dispersion. The aqueous dispersion may include a thermoplastic resin, water, and a stabilizing agent. The method may include adding at least one frothing surfactant to the aqueous dispersion to form a mixture, adding a flame retardant and/or a phase change material, frothing the mixture to create a froth, and removing at least a portion of the water to produce the foam.
