Abstract: A hotmelt adhesive having a melting point of at least 40° C. is provided which may be hardened in multiple stages and which is useful in the production of laminates. The hotmelt adhesive may contain a polymer with at least one functional group that is reactive towards a compound with an acidic hydrogen atom and with one functional group that can be polymerized by UV or electron beams, or a polymer with at least one functional group that is reactive towards a compound with an acidic hydrogen atom and with no functional group that can be polymerized by UV or electron beams. These polymers may be used in combination with a relatively low molecular compound with a functional group that can be polymerized by UV or electron beams.

Abstract: A resealable container is provided having a container opening and a rim and a multilayer film covering the container opening and the rim. The multilayer film contains at least an outer layer, a sealing layer facing the rim and a layer of adhesive between the outer layer and the sealing layer. The sealing layer is secured around the rim and contains a weak spot such that when the resealable container is first opened a double bead of said sealing layer remains on the rim in the region of the weak spot. Such resealable containers have improved tear-open behavior and resealability.
