Publication number: 20230173787Abstract: Multi-layer films and labels are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, a multi-layer film comprises a first skin layer, a first intermediate layer, a core layer, a second intermediate layer, and a second skin layer arranged sequentially, wherein the core layer has a thickness that is greater than thickness of the first or the second intermediate layers or the skin layer, wherein the core layer includes polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) particles disposed therein, wherein the amount of PBT particles ranges from about 5 to about 10 percent by weight (wt %), based on the total weight of the core layer, wherein the multi-layer film has a thickness ranging from about 25 microns to about 45 microns, wherein the core layer has a thickness ranging from about 20 microns to about 40 microns.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 5, 2022Publication date: June 8, 2023Applicant: Inteplast Group CorporationInventors: Rafael E. Bayona P., Kiran Jayantilal Soneji

Patent number: 9434138Abstract: A heat-sealable polymer-based multilayer film for peelably and releasably packaging pasty or fatty foods comprising a polymer-based core layer having a food-facing side and an exterior-facing side, a peelable layer on the food-facing side of the core layer, the peelable layer having a food-facing side and a core-facing side, and the peelable layer containing a peeling agent, and an interior skin layer on the food-facing side of the peelable layer, the interior skin layer having a food-facing side and a core-facing side. The core layer contains a release agent for diffusion toward the interior skin layer, and the release agent is present in the core layer in a quantity which is greater than the saturation capacity of peeling agent in the peelable layer for the release agent.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2014Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: Inteplast Group CorporationInventors: Rafael E. Bayona P., Gregory G. Gillis, Paul T. Alder
