Abstract: A feminine hygiene article comprising a film having at least a first layer and an optional second layer, the first layer comprising at least 25 wt. %, based on the total weight of the first layer, of an ethylene acrylate copolymer and less than 75 wt. %, based on the total weight of the first layer, of a polyolefin is disclosed. The first layer may have a gloss measured by ASTM D2457 at 45° C. below 30% and a drapeability measured according to WSP 90.3 less than or equal to 10.0 gf in both the machine or cross direction. The ethylene acrylate copolymer may contain from 16-35 wt. %, based on the total weight of the ethylene acrylate copolymer, acrylate. A feminine hygiene article comprising a soft film of non plastic appearance but with high tensile strength, low elongation along with high tear and puncture resistance, and high modulus can thus be obtained.

Abstract: A film structure including: (a) at least one functionalized film layer, wherein the at least one film layer comprises a polar-reactive group polyolefin layer used as an internal layer in the film structure; and (b) a lamination adhesive composition present on, and in contact with, a least a portion of a surface of the internal layer; wherein the green tack value of the adhesive composition is greater than 0.772 Newtons/centimeter; a laminate including the above film structure bonded to a substrate layer; a process for producing the film structure; a process for producing the laminate; and a laminated article made from the above laminate.

Abstract: A two-component solventless polyurethane adhesive composition including (A) at least one isocyanate component and (B) at least one polyol component. The isocyanate component (A) comprises an isocyanate prepolymer that is the reaction product of (Ai) a polyisocyanate and (Aii) an isocyanate-reactive component; wherein the isocyanate-reactive component comprises (Aiia) at least one polyol having a functionality greater than two, (Aiib) at least one aromatic polyester polyol having a functionality of greater than two, and (Aiic) at least one hydrophobic polyol. The polyol component (B) comprises (Bi) at least one polyether polyol having a functionality greater than two, (Bii) at least one aromatic polyester polyol transesterified with a natural oil, and (Biii) at least one phosphate ester polyol.

Abstract: The invention relates to packaging comprising a breathable valve, intended to extend the green life of perishable products. The packaging comprises a flexible container (1) and a breathable valve assembly (2) that can be used to control the concentration of oxygen, carbon dioxide, water vapor and ethylene in the atmosphere inside the container, such as to maintain a desired value depending on the weight and the respiration rate of the product. The breathable valve assembly (2) comprises a ring (3) and a breathable lid (4) assembled in order to close the flexible container (1). The packaging is advantageous over the prior art in that it can be assembled without using any heat-sealing technique and in that it can extend the green life of perishable products, such as fruits and vegetables.
