  • Publication number: 20240041032
    Abstract: A multi-layer article including a first non-active state and a second active state, the multi-layer article comprising an outer layer having a first side and a second side, an inner layer adjacent to at least a portion of the outer layer and including a volatile material, and an upper layer including a first side and a second side, the first side of the upper layer being adjacent to at least a portion of the inner layer. The multi-layer article is folded upon itself in the first non-active state so that at least a first portion of the second side of the upper layer is disposed on a top of a second portion of the second side of the upper layer, and the first portion and the second portion of the upper layer are heat sealed in the non-active state.

  • Patent number: 9700043
    Abstract: Compositions, preferably cleaning compositions, containing at least one component which is corrosive by nature and present at a level to render the compositions corrosive, are provided with reduced corrosivity by increasing the viscosity of the compositions. Reduction in corrosivity of the compositions is provided to a degree so that the compositions are classified as non-corrosive under EPA or OECD/GHS regulations and do not have to be stored in and dispensed from child-resistant packaging and do not require regulated hazard warning labeling.
