  • Patent number: 8980430
    Abstract: Multilayer fluoropolymer-containing films having improved interlayer adhesion. More particularly, multilayer films including a fluoropolymer layer attached to a thermoplastic polymer layer via an intermediate poly(ester-urethane) copolymer containing adhesive layer, articles produced therefrom, and products which are encased by the multilayer films. The films are suitable for encasing the sensitive luminescent components of electroluminescent lamps.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20040197507
    Abstract: A multilayer laminate suitable for use as a packaging film, more particularly for use as a chemical barrier packaging film, and suitable for packaging products such as motor oils and solvent impregnated cloths. The package is useful in applications which allow users to avoid the need to use spray bottles to dispense solvents, thus protecting users from inhaling hazardous chemicals from the air.

The package is useful in applications which allow users to avoid the need to use spray bottles to dispense solvents, thus protecting users from inhaling hazardous chemicals from the air. The multilayer film comprises an inner layer comprising an unoriented nylon; a middle layer comprising either a polyolefin, a metal foil, or a polyester attached to a surface of the inner layer; and an outer layer comprising either a polyolefin or a polyester attached to a surface of the middle layer; such that when the middle layer comprises a polyolefin, the outer layer comprises a polyester, and when the middle layer comprises a polyester, the outer layer comprises a polyolefin.
