Abstract: A method for monitoring the quality of an adhesive application during a lamination process for manufacturing a packaging laminate includes conveying a first film or foil web in a longitudinal direction, applying an adhesive material over the whole surface or in a pattern onto the moving first film or foil web and applying a second film or foil web onto the adhesive coated first film or foil web and conveying the first and second film or foil web having the intermediate deposited adhesive material layer in the longitudinal direction to a pressing station to form a laminate. A fluorescent agent may be added to and intermixed with the adhesive material such that the fluorescent agent is uniformly distributed. Fluorescence radiation emitted by an ultraviolet-exposed adhesive material layer is detected by a visual inspection system.

Abstract: In a packaging pouch made of a flexible mono or multilayer film for packaging viscous jelly and/or gravy matrix food, in which a thermo cycle such as retort, pasteurization, hot filling or aseptic conditions are applicable, the surface of a layer of the film forming the pouch inner walls or a surface coating on the film being in contact with food comprises a substance having the effect that the surface tension of the layer or the surface coating on the layer is 24 mN/m or less and the pouch inner walls being in contact with food exhibit easy flow properties.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a fouling release composition comprising a cured or crosslinked polysiloxane and a fluorinated polymer or oligomer. The present invention also relates to the use of the said fouling release composition in fouling release coatings for application to articles submerged in seawater.
