Abstract: An atomizing spray nozzle device includes an atomizing zone housing that receives different phases of materials used to form a coating. The atomizing zone housing mixes the different phases of the materials into a two-phase mixture of ceramic-liquid droplets in a carrier gas. The device also includes a plenum housing fluidly coupled with the atomizing housing and extending from the atomizing housing to a delivery end. The plenum housing includes an interior plenum that receives the two-phase mixture of ceramic-liquid droplets in the carrier gas from the atomizing zone housing. The device also includes one or more delivery nozzles fluidly coupled with the plenum chamber. The delivery nozzles provide outlets from which the two-phase mixture of ceramic-liquid droplets in the carrier gas is delivered onto one or more surfaces of a target object as the coating on the target object.

Abstract: A stretch blow-molded or thermoformed pouch (10) comprising a neck with an opening, and a process for making and handling a pouch, comprising—blow molding a preform or thermoforming a sheet or film into a mold to create a pouch with a neck (20) comprising opening (30),—removing the pouch from the mold,—transporting the pouch at the neck,—filling the pouch with a product,—closing the pouch.
