  • Publication number: 20190315540
    Abstract: A packaging material made of a support layer of aluminum and a lacquer layer applied onto the support layer with excellent opening behavior. The lacquer of the lacquer layer consists of a solvent, a binder, and a plasticizer. A polymer binder with a molecular weight of at least 80,000 Dalton, preferably at least 100,000 Dalton, is used, and by virtue of the mixing ratio between the solvent, the binder, and the plasticizer, a bond strength between the lacquer layer and the support layer ranging from 0.07 N/50 mm to 0.30 N/50 mm and an elongation at break of the lacquer layer of at least 150% are set.

  • Publication number: 20180037010
    Abstract: A composite film including at least one backing film made of a backing material, at least one barrier layer made of a barrier film and at least one laminating adhesive layer therebetween. On the side of the barrier layer away from the backing layer, the composite film has a raised pattern, and in the area of the raised pattern, the barrier layer has stretched stretching regions relative to the non-stretched barrier film. In the area of the raised pattern, the barrier layer has on the side facing the backing layer surfaces that are not joined to the backing layer.

  • Patent number: 9649676
    Abstract: Method for producing an aluminum foil with integrated security features. An aluminum foil is rolled down to a thickness of less than 150 ?m in a plurality of cold rolling passes, texturing that runs in the direction of rolling being induced simultaneously on both surface sides of the foil. In a final cold rolling pass, the foil is fed to a working roller pair, in which, on at least one roller surface, the relief-like surface structuring generated in the rolling direction by grinding was reduced on the basis of contrast and motif in a region of 10 to 50% relative to the average surface roughness to form a motif for a security feature that is transferred to the surface side of the foil facing the roller surface. The generated aluminum foil has a glossy appearance on both sides such that the security feature rises clearly due to its dull appearance.

  • Patent number: 8905251
    Abstract: A lid (2) for closing a cup (1) along a peripheral sealing edge (10) and a method for producing such a lid. The lid includes at least one aluminum film and an optionally multi-layered plastic layer which is co-extruded onto the aluminum film and has a closed predetermined tearing line (3). The plastic layer is made of plastic based on polyethylene (PE) or plastic based on polypropylene (PP), and the predetermined tearing line is introduced into the plastic layer preferably by means of a CO2 laser. The predetermined tearing line (3) may be provided directly in the region of the sealing edge (10).

  • Publication number: 20140322557
    Abstract: Method for producing an aluminum foil with integrated security features. An aluminum foil is rolled to a thickness of less than 150 ?m in multiple cold rolling passes, and simultaneously a texture which runs in the rolling direction is produced on both faces of the foil. A loose composite formed from at least two of the aluminum foils, is fed into a pair of working rollers in a final cold rolling pass, wherein the relief-like surface structure which is produced in the rolling direction via a polishing process has been reduced by 10 to 50% with respect to the average roughness height in one region in a contrast- and motif-dependent manner on at least one roller surface in order to form a motif for a security feature. The security feature is transferred onto the aluminum foil face facing the roller surface, and the loose composite of aluminum foils is separated.

  • Patent number: 7789262
    Abstract: An element which is punched out in a cover shape for sealing of containers, includes two plies with at least one opening aid which is integrated within these plies, the ply (3) located in the direction of the container having a plastic layer which is provided with perforations or scoring. The layers of the sealing element are cemented by a peelable adhesive layer, the opening aid and the ply which has the plastic layer being free of adhesive in the area of its perforations or scoring. The sealing element enables not only facilitated sealing of food containers, such as microwave containers, since mutual displacement or slippage of the individual plies due to the adhesive layer is prevented, but that any type of penetration of adhesive into the food container, thus into the food, is prevented in any case by the peelability of the adhesive.

  • Patent number: 7740730
    Abstract: A lid for closing containers includes an at least two-layered composite assembly. A layer facing the container seals against a container edge and forms an opening by layer separation, for removing contents. The layers have a continuous construction without weakening lines. The layer facing the container is made mainly of a plastic having an intrinsic tearing resistance being lower in the region of the opening than its adhesion to the layer facing away from the container in a remaining region and an adhesion to the container edge being greater at least in the region of an opening aid than to the other layer. The plastic adheres so strongly to the outer layer in the region of the opening that a region corresponding to the opening is torn out upon opening and a remaining layer of the lid facing the container continues to adhere to the container edge by sealing action.
