Abstract: A transparent film includes a first portion configured to form at least a portion of a first compartment of a multi-component package. The film also includes & second portion, con figured to form at least a portion of a second compartment of the multi-component package. The film further includes a barrier coating disposed on the first portion to reduce permeation of a migratory species through the first portion relative to the second portion.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to packaging films comprising a coextruded film having alternating individual layers of glass and plastic. These packaging films may be used for flexible food and pharmaceutical packaging. These packaging films provide excellent oxygen and moisture barrier protection while having superior flexibility.

Abstract: A process for producing an adhesive-free laminate is described herein. The process includes printing an ink on a surface of a first film, exposure of the printed film to UV radiation such that the ink is at least partially cured, contacting the first film to a second film such that the ink is between the first and second film, and exposing the combination of the first film, the ink and the second film to a second UV radiation. It has been found that this process can produce a high-quality laminate, without the presence of an adhesive.

Abstract: An additive manufacturing method includes heating a glass having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of about 500° C. or less, flowing the heated glass through a nozzle onto a platform, and moving the nozzle relative to the platform while the heated glass is flowed through the nozzle onto the platform to form an object on the platform.

Abstract: A recyclable film contains a base film and a sealant. The base film has at least one layer containing a polar polymer and at least one layer containing a polar polymer compatibilizer. Additionally the base film has been oriented and annealed such that it exhibits free shrink of less than 10% in both the machine direction and the transverse direction when, exposed to heat of 90° C. This film has advantages over prior recyclable films in efficient film manufacturing, high quality package production and superior package performance.

Abstract: Recyclable films for packaging a product have a composition comprising a polyethylene, and the film is oriented and irradiatively cross-linked. The recyclable films have excellent heat resistant properties, Multilayer films for packaging a product comprise an outer film comprising any recyclable film of the disclosure and a sealant layer or film. Onset of sticking by an outer surface of the recyclable film upon exposure to heat sealing conditions is at least 5 to 15° C. higher than a comparative outer surface of a comparative outer film comprising the polyethylene that is not oriented and irradiatively cross-linked.

Abstract: Multilayered molded articles comprising a glass layer interposed between first and second non-glass layers are described. These molded articles provide enhanced oxygen and moisture barrier protection to stored contents and are useful in medical, pharmaceutical, food, and research applications as containers and packaging materials.

These packaging films may be used for flexible food and pharmaceutical packaging. These packaging films provide excellent oxygen and moisture barrier protection while having superior flexibility.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to thermoformed packaging articles comprising a coextruded film having alternating individual layers of glass and plastic. These thermoformed packaging articles may be used for packaging oxygen- and/or moisture sensitive foods and pharmaceutical/medical/dental products.
