Patent number: 7235294Abstract: A water based, cold seal, cohesive coating for bonding one or more substrates together to form a flexible package to contain an article, especially useful for snack food packaging. The cohesive coating includes about 25% to about 90% by weight of a natural rubber latex emulsion, about 10% to about 75% by weight of a non-self-crosslinking acrylic emulsion, about 0.01% to about 10% by weight water, and one or more ingredient selected from an anti-foam agent, ammonia, a surfactant, an anti-blocking agent, an inert filler, and a conditioning agent, so that in combination the components total 100% by weight of the composition. The use of a non-self-crosslinking acrylic emulsion provides an improved cold seal cohesive that may be employed with current high temperature converting systems and provides improved adhesion to substrates, enhanced cohesion to itself, reduced blocking and avoids seal deadening.Type: GrantFiled: February 17, 2004Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Assignee: Bostik, Inc.Inventor: Harold G.

Patent number: 7235306Abstract: A heat sealable barrier layer for food and beverage cartons is provided, the barrier layer including an additive material which reduces the amount of essential oil scalping from citrus products. Additionally, a carton coating layer and process is provided for reducing a coefficient of friction of stacked carton blanks. An additional embodiment of the invention provides for a paperboard substrate having reduced water vapor transmission rates, the reduction in water vapor transmission rates being attributed to one or multiple extruded layers containing an effective amount of an inorganic additive.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2003Date of Patent: June 26, 2007Assignee: BRPP, LLCInventor: Kevin Cable

Patent number: 7205046Abstract: The present invention provides an electrophotographic lamination film which can be easily laminated by using the film as it is without significantly modifying a conventional electrophotographic device, can be printed with letters of high resolution directly on a surface of the film capable of softening at relatively low temperatures, and can form an image of high quality having sufficient heat resistance and light resistance with good recognizability even in outdoor use, as well as a method of producing the same and a method of forming an image. In the electrophotographic lamination film, a surface resistance of at least one surface of a substrate thereof is in a range of 108 to 1013 ?/?, and a Vicat softening temperature of the substrate is in a range of 70 to 130° C.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2003Date of Patent: April 17, 2007Assignee: Fuji Xerox Co., Ltd.Inventors: Tomoo Kobayashi, Kunio Sakurai, Kaoru Torikoshi

Patent number: 7195805Abstract: A heat insulating paper cup having an improved seal. The cup can include a body member having an inside surface and an outside surface, and a bottom panel member having a upper surface and a bottom surface. The body member is coated (or in some instances partially coated) on its outside surface with a foamed low density polyethylene, and on its inside surface with an unfoamed modified low density polyethylene. The bottom panel member is coated on its upper surface with a foamed or an unfoamed low density polyethylene or foamed or unfoamed modified low density polyethylene. The body member and bottom panel member are oriented and joined to form a heat seal at an interface between a portion of the unfoamed modified low density polyethylene coated on the inside surface of the body member and a portion of unfoamed low density polyethylene or unfoamed modified low density polyethylene coated on the upper surface of the bottom panel member.Type: GrantFiled: December 15, 2003Date of Patent: March 27, 2007Assignee: Dixie Consumer Products LLCInventors: Michael A. Breining, William R. Pucci, David C. Brown, Richard A. Segan, Donald C. McCarthy, Walter Malakhow

Patent number: 7186458Abstract: An adhesive tape comprising a backing and a layer of adhesive on the backing. The backing comprises a biaxially oriented substrate which comprises an isotactic polypropylene composition. The tapes and backings of this invention can be severed readily using commercial tape dispensers having metal or plastic cutting teeth to produce cleanly serrated cut edges on the tape. The biaxially oriented substrate is preferably made from a resin comprising an isotactic polypropylene homopolymer having a melt flow rate greater than 8 grams/10 minutes, more preferably greater than 12 grams/10 minutes, and still more preferably greater than about 20 grams/10 minutes. One preferred way to obtain such a resin is to blend: A) at least one isotactic polypropylene homopolymer “A” having a weight average molecular weight of at least 350,000 grams/mole and melt a flow rate of about 0.5–8 grams/10 minutes, more preferably about 0.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2004Date of Patent: March 6, 2007Assignee: 3m Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Scott D.
