Abstract: A multilayer wrapper film for a hygiene product has a first outer layer, a second outer layer, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer between the first outer layer and the second outer layer and forming therewith respective adhesive bonds. The adhesive bond between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the first outer layer is stronger than the adhesive bond between the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer and the second outer layer. An overall thickness of the first and second outer layers with the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer arranged therebetween is between 20 ?m and 80 ?m.

Abstract: A composite web, with elastic and inelastic regions, is formed to separated or punched into diaper closure elements. The composite web includes nonwoven web which forms a first outer side of the composite web. On the composite web are disposed spaced-apart, elastically stretchable foil strips. A nonwoven material covers the elastically stretchable foil strips on a second outer side of the composite web. At least one inelastic strip of a hook material bridges a region between two adjacent, elastically stretchable foil strips. The nonwoven material overlaps edges of the strip of hook material. The strip of hook material has projections on the edges thereof that are overlapped by the nonwoven material. The projections extend into the nonwoven material.

Abstract: A label film is formed by means of extrusion and has a layer that forms the surface, on a first side, composed of polyethylene with a proportion of at least 70 wt.-%, preferably at least 85 wt.-% high-density polyethylene, wherein the film thickness amounts to less than 75 ?m. According to the invention, the 60° reflectometer value on at least the first side of the label film, determined according to DIN 67 530, is greater than 80, preferably greater than 90.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multilayer film produced by coextrusion, more particularly packaging film, having a core layer comprising a core layer mixture, a seal layer comprising a seal layer mixture, and a print layer comprising a print layer mixture. The core layer is disposed between the seal layer and the print layer, and in accordance with the invention comprises at least one polyolefin and starch, preferably thermoplastic starch. The seal layer mixture and the print layer mixture comprise in each case at least one polyolefin and in each case starch, preferably thermoplastic starch.

Abstract: Flexible package comprising a co-extruded multi-layer film with high amount of renewable material characterized by a high mechanical strength and which can be extruded with low complexity.

Abstract: A pipe liner has a tubular base of a thermoplastic elastomer or ionomer saturated with a curable resin, and a tubular inner film inside the tubular base itself. The inner film is formed by a core layer of a thermoplastic elastomer or ionomer and two polyamide outer layers.

Abstract: A plastic film having a thickness of less than 400 ?m has a base layer at least partially of polyolefin of renewable raw material or a polyolefin mixture of renewable raw material and a first layer foamed by at least 20%.

Abstract: A tray package for food has a stiff tray having a rim and formed inward of the rim with at least one throughgoing hole and a cover film fixed to the rim. A lining made of a flexible film is fixed to the rim between the tray and the cover film and forms with the cover film a closed compartment adapted to hold the food and with the tray an outer compartment that is open to the exterior through the hole.

Abstract: A laminated web from which diaper closure elements may be punched is made by first applying at least two pairs longitudinally extending and transversely spaced bend-resistant strips to a first longitudinally extending nonwoven tape. Then a respective longitudinally extending strip of an elastically stretchable polymer is applied to the first nonwoven tape between each of the pairs of the bend-resistant strips with the polymer strip partially overlapping both of the bend-resistant strips of the respective pair. A second longitudinally extending nonwoven tape that covers and extends transversely to both sides of the polymer strip is applied over the bend-resistant strips and the polymer strips to form a laminate with the polymer strip between the first and second nonwoven tapes.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the preferably continuous packaging of products, in particular foods, with or without an already stabilized inherent shape such as fresh meat, meat products and sausage products, sausage meat emulsion or similar products by encasing them on all sides with single-layer or multilayer films that can be fed from the web. According to the invention flexible films that can be deformed without the action of heating and are self-resetting, are used as bottom web films, wherein the bottom web films are temporarily deformed by the action of pressure in order to form troughs for receiving product. The respective product is introduced as portions into the trough and fixed there, wherein it is fixed by a top web film or covering film, optionally supported by a restrainer.

Abstract: A molded article is made by first providing a starting material comprised of a support web and a layer of expandable polymer particles on the support web. This starting material is fitted as several layers into a generally closed cavity of a mold or shaping shell so as to only partially fill the cavity. Then energy, for instance microwave radiation, is applied to the starting material in the cavity so as to expand or foam the polymer particles such that the starting material generally fills the cavity.
