Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of washing textile articles that can be carried out, for example, in a continuous batch tunnel washer. Embodiments of the present method can include treating the textile with an aqueous composition including cleaning agent and halogen-containing bleaching agent for a time sufficient to remove soil from the textile and contacting the halogen-treated textile with an aqueous composition including a peroxycarboxylic acid. The concentration of halogen after the sufficient time can be at a level that does not result in adverse interaction between the halogen-containing bleaching agent and the peroxycarboxylic acid. Embodiments of the present method can clean textiles with the results of more effective stain removal and less waste through destruction of the textile article. Further, the present invention can clean a textile contacted soiled by a composition including chlorhexidine gluconate without resulting staining of the textile, which staining could have been permanent.

Abstract: A film for use in the formation of a flexible package that has a first layer and a second layer that are laminated together to form a two layer laminate. The first layer is a base comprising polyethylene terephthalate, with at least one of the outer surface and the inner surface having a barrier layer disposed thereon. The second layer is a coextrusion having a core layer comprising an ethylene vinyl alcohol with an outer upper layer of a linear low density polyethylene and an outer lower layer of linear low density polyethylene.

Abstract: A film for a flexible bag comprising a plurality of coextruded layers. The layers include a core layer, a first skin layer and a second skin layer. The core layer is a polymer having a modulus equal to or less than 120 MPa. The core layer has a first side and a second side opposite the first side. The first skin layer is coextruded directly on the first side of the core layer. The first skin layer has a density greater than 0.916 g/cc. The second skin layer is coextruded directly on the second side of the core layer. The second skin layer has a density greater than 0.916 g/cc. A flexible bag is further disclosed.
