  • Process for forming improved protective eco-friendly pouch and packaging and products made therefrom
    Patent number: 11926134
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a protective wrap and a protective envelope or pouch: made therefrom, as well as the apparatus and: process for forming such wraps and envelopes. Water-based heat-expandable adhesives (WBHEA) which include a plurality of heat-expandable microspheres are disposed in a pattern between, web substrates on a continuous, high speed manufacturing line to produce padded, insulated products: useful as envelopes, mailers and other protective packaging.

  • Expandable coating compositions and use thereof
    Patent number: 10100204
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to impact resistant and/or thermally insulative coating compositions for protective packages. Particularly, the protective packages include envelopes, pillows and Gusseted bags that house fragile and/or perishable objects during transport or mailing. The coating composition, upon heat or radiation trigger, expands at least 2500% in volume. The protective packages coated with the coating composition provide impact resistance, high strength, thermal insulation and light-weighting.
