  • Patent number: 7695810
    Abstract: The present invention is drawn to a strip tape which does not undergo lowering of bonding force and which does not cause pollution of the natural environment, working environment, etc. The strip tape includes a center layer containing a polar resin, and at least one polyolefin layer laminated, via a bonding layer, on each face of the center layer. The bonding layer contains an ethylene-methacrylic acid-alkyl acrylate random copolymer. Since the strip tape includes a center layer and at least one polyolefin layer, the interlayer bonding force of the strip tape is high, the bonding strength between the center layer and the polyolefin layer can be increased, and the waterproofing property of the strip tape can be enhanced. Even when a packaging container including the strip tape is heated or cooled sharply during use, the interlayer bonding force of the strip tape is not lowered.

  • Patent number: 6974612
    Abstract: A paper packaging container is formed from the packaging material comprising constitution layers of at least an outside thermoplastic material layer, a paper substrate layer, and an inside thermoplastic material layer, wherein the inside thermoplastic material layer contains at least a linear low density polyethylene, and has properties parameters of an average density of 0.900–0.930, a predetermined peak melting point, a melt flow index of 5–15, and a swelling ratio of 1.3–1.8. The use of the packaging material allows easy filling and packaging to the packaging container and quick heat sealing, and results in more toughly and strongly sealed container, and the material can be used for achieved good sealing independently of the temperature of food contents and thus maintaining the non-scalping and quality preservability of the content product.

  • Patent number: 6868873
    Abstract: A method for filling a container involves supplying a barrier layer to the inside of a container and irradiating the inside with a high energy ray to form a barrier layer on the inner surface of the container and simultaneously sterilizing the inside and discharging a residual barrier material precursor gas and a by-product gas from the container before or during the filling of liquid food into the container. The method allows the formation of a continuous barrier layer covering edges, gloves, clearances and gaps inside the container. Automatic and effective discharge of a residual barrier material precursor gas and a by-product gas from the container through the filling of liquid food is allowed. The method avoids the necessity of chemical disinfectants through sterilization of the inside of a container by irradiation with a high energy ray and thereafter filling a liquid food in an aseptic state.
