Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter is generally directed to packaging film and packages constructed from water-dispersible and/or biodegradable material. The water-dispersible and biodegradable package consists of a first layer of a water-dispersible material constituting an interior of the package, and a second layer of a biodegradable material constituting the exterior of the package. The package may have printed indicium printed onto the exterior of the package.

Abstract: The presently disclosed subject matter is generally directed to a packaging film constructed from water-dispersible and/or biodegradable compositions. Particularly, the disclosed film comprises a first layer constructed from one or more water-dispersible materials, such as water-dispersible paper. The film further comprises a second layer constructed from one or more biodegradable materials, such as poly(hydroxyalkanoate). The first and second layers can be constructed to form a packaging material used to enclose a wide variety of products, including liquids and moisture-sensitive solids. Advantageously, the disclosed film (and associated packaging materials) are dissolvable in water and/or biodegrade when exposed to landfill conditions and/or water.

Abstract: A composite assembly useful for resisting the penetration of projectiles. The composite assembly comprises a plurality of ballistic fabric layers and a plurality of distinct films. The plurality of distinct films is adjacent the plurality of ballistic fabric layers. Each distinct film of the plurality of distinct films comprises thermoplastic polymer. Each distinct film of the plurality of distinct films has an elongational strength index of at least 800 psi.

Abstract: A package includes a support member; an oxygen sensitive product disposed on the support member; and a non-woven lid; wherein the non-woven lid has a Gurley Hill porosity (TAPPI T460) of from 1 to 10 seconds per 100 cubic centimeters. A process for packaging an oxygen sensitive product includes providing a support member; placing the oxygen sensitive product on the support member; and adhering a non-woven material to the support member such that a closed package is made; wherein the non-woven material has a Gurley Hill porosity (TAPPI T460) of from 1 to 10 seconds per 100 cubic centimeters.
