Abstract: A method for treating and controlling physiological disorders that are caused during the post-harvest process of fruit, which includes the application of an aqueous solution which is an edible coating. The coating includes at least one phospholipid, or at least one polysorbate, or at least a sorbitan ester, or at least a sucrose ester of fatty acids or at least a sucroglyceride of fatty acids or a combination thereof, the application being during any one of the stages of the post-harvest process to their shipment and sale at their final destination.

Abstract: The present invention describes the method for treating and controlling physiological disorders that are caused during the post-harvest process of fruit, which comprises the application of an aqueous solution which is a edible coating and said coating comprising at least one phospholipid, or at least one polysorbate, or at least a sorbitan ester, or at least a sucrose ester of fatty acids or at least a sucroglyceride of fatty acids or a combination thereof the application being during any one of the stages of the post-harvest process to their shipment and sale at their final destination.

Abstract: The present invention includes laminates and a tamper indication system. In some embodiments, the laminate and the tamper indication system may change color to indicate exposure of the laminate to an acrylic-based adhesive.

Abstract: A surface treatment for a protective plastic film and/or laminate is disclosed. Suitably, the surface treatment includes coating a major surface of the plastic film or laminate with a curable coating formulation wherein one or more of the coating ingredients are diffused or migrated at least partially into the plastic film or plastic laminate. The migration of coating ingredients creates a gradual transition layer from the plastic film to the coating layer and leads to unique properties. Optionally, the surface treated plastic film is laminated to a release liner coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) to form the aforementioned laminate.

Abstract: Static dissipative labels are described which comprise a polyester or polyimide backing film laminated to a conductive primer layer which in turn is laminated to a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer. The primer layer and adhesive layer contain conductive particles, e.g. metals, and the conductive particles in the adhesive layer are arranged such that they span the thickness of the layer.

Abstract: Adhesive compositions for electronic applications contain a hydroxyl-bearing resin, a thermoplastic urethane and a curing agent.

Abstract: High clarity, tear resistant, static dissipative cover tapes for two-piece surface mount device packaging tapes are described comprising of backing film, e.g. a polyester film, one side of which is coated with a thin layer of heat-sealable adhesive, e.g. an adhesive comprising a styrenic block elastomer, and the other side of which is coated with an organic antistatic agent. The cover tapes of this invention can be used with carrier tapes made from a variety of materials, e.g. polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, polycarbonate, etc., and demonstrate a consistent peel force of between about 10 and about 120 grams.

Abstract: High transparency, low-haze, static dissipative cover tapes for two-piece surface mount device packaging tapes are described comprising a metallized backing film, e.g. a polyester film one side of which is coated with a thin layer of aluminum, and a heat-sealable adhesive, e.g. an adhesive comprising a styrenic block elastomer, a tackifier, a plasticizing agent, an antiblock agent, and a conductive material such as nickel flakes. The cover tapes of this invention can be used with carrier tapes made from either polystyrene or polyvinyl chloride, and demonstrate a consistent peel strength of between 30 and 80 grams.
