Abstract: The packaging container according to the invention for receiving filled product can be used as a self-supporting container or as an in-liner or insert container in supporting outer containers such as corrugated paperboard boxes, wooden cases, box pallets with mesh panels, or drums. The packaging container comprises a multilayered composite film combination which is made up of a polymer film with barrier layer properties, acting as the outer layer of the container, an intermediate layer made of an electrically conductive material and also a further polymer film, forming the inner layer of the packaging container. According to the invention, the further polymer film, forming the inner layer of the packaging container, bears a perforation pattern and the electrically conductive intermediate layer is in connection with a grounding system via electric contact points. The polymer film forming the inner layer of the packaging container is preferably a heat-sealable monofilm or a coextruded film.

Abstract: A self-supporting sheet-like structure is described, which contains a substrate layer and a structured coating on at least one surface of the substrate layer. The structured coating is produced by treating at least one surface of the substrate layer by means of an electric corona discharge, which takes place between a high voltage electrode and a grounded counter-electrode. In this procedure, an aerosol containing discrete inert particles is simultaneously introduced into the corona discharge space during the corona discharge to improve the slip characteristics and reduce friction of the substrate layer.

Abstract: A packaging system for a film roll containing, inter alia, a highly sensitive film web is disclosed. The system is made up of at least two end walls, with centrally arranged cylindrical plug-on protuberances or centering protuberances for receiving the winding sleeve which bears the film web, and are connected in a releasible, but sealing manner to the end walls via tensioning elements and sealing elements. The system further includes an inner winding sleeve and an outer protective sleeve, and thus, together with the end walls, sealing elements and tensioning elements, forms a closed packaging around the film roll.

Abstract: In the production of moldings from thermotropic, liquid-crystalline plastics, the chains of the LC polymer molecules are oriented in at least two preferred directions independent of one another. For this purpose, the polymer melt stream which emerges from an extruder is divided into two part streams which are fed via melt lines to an adapter. A distributing element which is caused to rotate by a drive unit is located in the adapter. The adapter is upstream of a slot die and is connected to the latter. One part stream forms a polymer matrix while the other part stream incorporates in, or is superimposed on, this polymer matrix individual polymer strands at different cross-sectional levels by the rotating distributing element. These polymer strands reinforce the polymer matrix. These polymer strands form multiple-pitch helices. The two part streams combined in the adapter enter the slot die and are shaped in the latter to give a multilayer melt film which is extruded through the slot die onto a cooling roller.

The aerosol contains, for example, an aqueous emulsion of thermoplastic and/or crosslinkable components as an adhesion-promoting agent.
