  • Patent number: 7935400
    Abstract: A packaging laminate comprising a core layer of paper or carton with a through-going hole, a layer of thermoplastics applied onto one outer side of the core layer, an aluminium foil applied onto the other, inner, side of the core layer and bonded to the core layer by means of an intermediate layer of thermoplastics, the two layers of thermoplastics being sealed to each other within the region of the hole to form a membrane of aluminium foil and thermoplastics, and a first adhesive part-layer applied onto the inner side of the aluminium foil, a second intermediate part-layer of low density polyethylene applied adjacent to the first adhesive part-layer, and a third innermost part-layer comprising in the majority a metallocene polyethylene.

  • Patent number: 7767051
    Abstract: Method in connection with the continuous joining of a first layer (10, 38) of a first material and a second layer (16, 40) of a second material, to produce a packaging laminate (44, 48) comprising said first and second layers. According to the invention, a free surface of said first layer (10, 38) and/or a free surface of said second layer (16, 40) is subjected both to plasma treatment (24) and to flame treatment (20), where after said free surfaces are joined together (12, 14). The invention relates also to a packaging laminate thus produced and to a packaging container manufactured from such a packaging laminate.
