Publication number: 20130292305Abstract: The present invention is directed to films that are deposited with foamable inks or coatings. One purpose is to facilitate their separation for recycling purposes. The films are particularly useful as packaging labels. The inks/coatings are designed so that foaming is activated when the film is in the hot-wash stage of a typical recycle process. This provides added buoyancy to the film allowing it to float to the surface and be removed, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of the recycle process. A feature of the invention is that, prior to this hot wash, the inks/coatings remain substantially unfoamed and thereby do not negatively affect the aesthetics of labeled package. The foamable inks/coatings can be used with any type of film.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 6, 2013Publication date: November 7, 2013Applicant: Eastman Chemical CompanyInventors: Marcus David Shelby, Freddie Wayne Willams, Jeffery Earl Grant Powell, Scott Ellery George, Jeff Scott Howell

Patent number: 8574695Abstract: The present invention is directed to a multilayer film having, as its main component, a hydroxy acid polymer with improved gas barrier and optional heat sealability. The oriented film of predominately hydroxy acid polymer having controlled shrink can be produced by melting and coextruding a hydroxy acid polymer with a much thinner layer of an amorphous aromatic copolyester to form a multilayer film that is quench cooled, then biaxially stretched at a process temperature above the glass transition and below the cold crystallization temperature of the hydroxy acid polymer. A heat-setting treatment with a controlled relaxation of the film above the hydroxy acid polymer glass transition temperature and below its melt temperature may be used to control shrinkage. The films thus obtained are vacuum metallized on the aromatic copolyester surface to produce environmentally friendly packaging from predominately renewable resources having improved gas barrier properties.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2010Date of Patent: November 5, 2013Assignee: Toray Plastics (America), Inc.Inventors: Mark Lee, Nao Yokota, Keunsuk P.

A blocking layer is formed on a surface of the plastic base substrate by depositing a first material and a second material that are distinct. A substrate includes a plastic base substrate and a blocking layer formed at surfaces of the plastic base substrate and having a first layer and a second layer alternatingly. The first layer and second layer include continuously changing component ratio of a first material to a second material. The blocking layer effectively blocks moisture and/or oxygen.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 2, 2012Publication date: August 29, 2013Inventors: SEUNG-MIN LEE, Hyeong-Suk Yoo, Ki-Beom Lee, Seung-Jun Lee, Jae-Hyuk Chang

Publication number: 20130224411Abstract: Described are antifog films useful for packaging food, and more particularly to antifog films that can be used as lidding films in trays made of amorphous polyester. The films may include at least one base layer or film, such as a polyester film, and a heat seal layer. The antifog layer is coated on the heat seal layer. The heat seal layer allows the antifog coating to more strongly adhere to the antifog film. The heat seal layer may be an amorphous polyester layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 14, 2012Publication date: August 29, 2013Inventors: Jon Ian MONTCRIEFF, Roberto SIU

Publication number: 20130224495Abstract: A radiation curable coating for a floor comprising: at least one radiation curable oligomer, at least one photoinitiator and at least one reactive diluent monomer, said radiation curable oligomer being selected from the group consisting of Urethane (meth)acrylates, epoxy (meth)acrylates, polyester (meth)acrylates, acrylic (meth)acrylates, and hydrocarbon (meth)acrylates is described and claimed. The composition is capable of undergoing photopolymerization when coated on a floor and when irradiated by a light emitting diode (LED) light, having a wavelength from about 100 nm to about 900 nm, to provide a cured coating on the floor, with the cured coating having an external surface, and the cured coating having a Percent Reacted Acrylate Unsaturation (% RAU) at the external surface of about 60% or greater. Also described and claimed are the process to coat a floor with the LED curable coating for floor and a coated floor where the coating has been cured by application of LED light.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2010Publication date: August 29, 2013Inventors: Keqi Gan, Timothy Bishop, Tai-Yeon Lee, Huimin Cao, Mark Diaz

Patent number: 8518552Abstract: The invention relates to an optical film containing polymers having different repeating units, and methods for production thereof. Further, the invention also relates to an optical laminate, a polarizing plate, and an image display device each using the optical film. The optical film of the invention advantageously has not only high solubility in solvents but also a high level of transparency since the polymers used in the optical film are compatible with each other. Further, wavelength dispersion of the birefringence of the optical film can be controlled by merely changing a ratio of polymers.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2010Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Nitto Denko CorporationInventors: Toshiyuki Iida, Tomoyuki Hirayama, Yutaka Ohmori, Miyuki Kurogi, Hisae Shimizu, Junichi Nagase
