Publication number: 20230347629Abstract: In some embodiments a Stand Up Pouch (SUP) is prepared using a polyethylene structure having a first web and a second web. The webs are laminated together to form the polyethylene structure that is used to prepare the SUP. One web contains a layer of recycled polyethylene (r.PE). In some instances, the use of r.PE has been observed to reduce the effectiveness of the sealant layer of the overall structure. In some embodiments, the SUP disclosed herein has a two layer sealant system to mitigate this problem.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 14, 2020Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: NOVA CHEMICALS (INTERNATIONAL) S.A.Inventors: Robert Clare, Ian Gibbons, Daniel Ward, Allister Davey

Patent number: 11685144Abstract: Multilayer Films have a first skin layer that is prepared from a high density polyethylene and a second skin layer (also referred to as the sealant layer) that is prepared from a linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) having a density of from 0.90 to 0.92 g/cc and a Dilution Index, Yd, of greater than 0°. Seals can be prepared by placing two pieces of this film against each other such that the sealant layers are in contact with each other, then applying heat to at least one high density skin layer such that heat is transmitted/conducted through the multilayer film in a sufficient amount to melt the sealant layer and form a seal. The use of LLDPE having a Dilution Index of greater than 0° has been found to improve the sealing performance of multilayer films in comparison to multilayer films where the sealant layer is a conventional LLDPE having a Dilution Index of less than 0°.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2022Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: NOVA Chemicals (International) S.A.Inventor: Robert Clare

Publication number: 20140083485Abstract: A photovoltaic assembly includes a flexible photovoltaic module, a flexible back barrier layer, and electrically conductive first and second flexible bus bars. The photovoltaic module includes opposing front and back outer surfaces and first and second electrical contacts on the front outer surface. The photovoltaic module is adapted to generate an electrical potential difference between the first and second electrical contacts in response to light incident on the front outer surface. The flexible back barrier layer is disposed on the back outer surface of the photovoltaic module. The electrically conductive first and second flexible bus bars are electrically coupled to the first and second electrical contacts, respectively, and the first and second flexible bus bars wrap around the flexible photovoltaic module and extend through the back barrier layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2013Publication date: March 27, 2014Applicant: Ascent Solar Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Dana Steven Nance, Jason Michael Messing, Quinn Alan Quintana, Kevin Foerchinger, Robert Clare Meck
