Abstract: A method of making extensible web laminates comprising a multilayer film and at least one web layer and the use of such extensible web laminates in personal care articles. The method generally includes activating the multilayer film in a first direction by stretching at least a portion of the multilayer film past the elastic deformation limit of the skin layers and recovering the skin layers with the elastomeric core layer to produce a multilayer film that is elastic in the first direction. The activated multilayer film is subsequently stretched beyond the deformation limit of the skin layers in a second direction substantially perpendicular to the first direction. At least one web layer is applied to the multilayer film while in the stretched state. The multilayer film is then recovered to produce an extensible web laminate.

Abstract: A hardenable dental article including a base and at least one outer surface extending from the base, wherein at least the base and the at least one outer surface of the hardenable dental article includes a hardenable dental material; and a multi-layer polymeric film conformable release liner in contact with at least a portion of the at least one outer surface.

Abstract: There is provided a container, comprising: (a) a cover comprising at least one elastomeric layer; and (b) a food component contained within the container, wherein the food component is a liquid food component or a solid food component, and further wherein the solid food component is configured for producing a fluid food product upon contact with a liquid; and wherein the cover is configured for puncturing by at least one liquid transfer device for injection or extraction of the liquid food component or the fluid food product, and further wherein, upon withdrawal of the at least one liquid transfer device from the container, the cover is configured for resealing itself against leakage of any of the liquid, liquid food component, fluid food product, or combinations thereof. There is also provided a container comprising a plunger and spring. There are provided methods of using the aforementioned containers.
