Abstract: The invention relates to a laminate comprising a first web of fibers and a first film that together form a first ply and a second web of fibers and a second film that together form a second ply, wherein an adhesive layer is disposed between the plies and serves as a grease barrier. A laminate according to the invention serves as a grease barrier without the need for fluorochemical treatment. The invention also relates to a method of making a laminate comprising forming a first ply and a second ply and applying an adhesive layer between the plies. The invention also relates to an article comprising a laminate and a charge of oil and popcorn.

Abstract: A heat seal adhesive paper product is provided according to the invention. The heat seal adhesive paper product comprises a paper substrate and a heat activatable adhesive. The heat activatable adhesive comprises a result of applying an aqueous polymer dispersion to the paper substrate to form a coated paper substrate and drying the coated paper substrate. The aqueous polymer dispersion includes a polymer component having a melting temperature (Tm) greater than about 220° F. and a glass transition temperature (Tg) greater than about 50° F. A method for manufacturing a heat seal adhesive paper product is provided and a laminate product containing the heat seal adhesive paper product is provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to a scented laminate product and a method for manufacturing a scented laminate product. In an embodiment, the invention includes a scented laminate having a first substrate; a second substrate; and a scented adhesive composition provided between the first substrate and the second substrate, the scented adhesive composition bonding the first substrate to the second substrate. In an embodiment, the invention includes a method of forming a scented laminate including the steps of applying a scented adhesive composition between a first substrate and a second substrate, thereby bonding the first substrate and the second substrate together to form a scented laminate. In an embodiment, the invention includes a scented paper product including a paper substrate; the paper substrate comprising a web of fibers and from about 0.1% wt. to about 25.0% wt. of a scented composition; the scented paper product configured to provide at least a one-month lasting scent.

Abstract: A thermal sleeve is provided according to the invention. The thermal sleeve can be provided as a cup sleeve for wrapping a cup and providing thermal insulation. The cup sleeve includes a creped paper product having a first end, a second end, a first cup opening, and a second cup opening, and an adhesive holding the first end and the second end together to form a wrap wherein the wrap is sized to enclose a cup. A method for manufacturing a cup sleeve is provided. A combination cup and cup sleeve is provided.

Abstract: A heat curable aqueous emulsion coating composition is disclosed which is adapted to deposit a release coating which stratifies to allow less silicone to effectively coat a given surface area. This emulsion comprises water containing: (1) a fatty acid or fatty alcohol-containing hydroxy-functional polyester having a hydroxy value of at least about 40 and which is a free flowing liquid at room temperature; (2) a cross-linking agent for said hydroxy resin; and (3) at least one silicone reactive with said hydroxy-functional resin and/or said cross-linking agent to provide a release function. The hydroxy-functional polyester and the cross-linking agent serve to emulsify the silicones in the aqueous phase of the emulsion.

Abstract: A heat curable coating composition which deposits a release coating containing a smaller proportion of silicone release material is disclosed. This composition comprises (1) an hydroxy-functional resin which is preferably a polyester resin; (2) a cross-linking agent for the polyester, such as an aminoplast resin; and (3) at least one and preferably a mixture of at least two reactive silicones which are preferably polysiloxanes. These two polysiloxanes comprise: (A) a hydrogen- or alkoxy-functional polysiloxane; and (B) an elastomeric polysiloxane reactive with the hydrogen- or alkoxy-functional polysiloxane to provide release properties. Either or both of the polysiloxanes are reactive with the hydroxy-functional resin or the cross-linking agent. Components (1), (2) and (3) are compatible in a liquid admixture which may contain a volatile inert organic solvent or which may be solvent-free.
