Patent number: 9023443Abstract: A laminate film including a first core polylactic acid layer, a coating receiving-layer of polylactic acid, and coated on one side of the coating receiving-layer with PVOH, EVOH, a blend of crosslinked EVOH/PVOH, vinyl alcohol-vinylamine (PVAm) copolymer, anionic carboxylated styrene-butadiene copolymer (SBR) emulsion, or blends thereof. This coating may be applied after the machine-direction orientation step and dried and oriented in a transverse direction orientation oven if in-line coating is desired; or applied to the film in an off-line coating method and dried in an air flotation oven. The dried coating layer can be metallized. This laminate film exhibits excellent gas and moisture barrier properties, appearance, and metal adhesion. It may also optionally include a heat sealable or winding improving layer on the side opposite the coating receiving-layer of the core layer.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2010Date of Patent: May 5, 2015Assignee: Toray Plastics (America), Inc.Inventors: Tracy A.

Publication number: 20150111092Abstract: A multi-layer shrink film. The shrink film can exhibit a significant amount of shrink within a certain temperature range that is above the onset temperature of the film. The film can exhibit a shrinkage that is at least about 50% of the total shrink within a temperature range T1 above the onset temperature of the film. In one aspect, the shrink film comprises a core layer and skin layers disposed about opposite surfaces of the core layer, and tie layers disposed between the core and the skin layers, the skin layers individually comprising a polyester, e.g., a glycol-modified polyester, and the tie layers individually comprising an anhydride modified material.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 26, 2013Publication date: April 23, 2015Inventors: Paul Janousek, Vadim Zaikov, Farid Ghiam, Robert Quattlebaum, Walter Mueller

Patent number: 9005742Abstract: A label for removable application to an article such as a beverage bottle includes a backing layer (2) comprising a laminate of a bi-axially oriented polyester such as PET (12) and a bi-axially oriented polypropylene (14). The polyester film (12) has a lower coefficient of thermal expansion than the polypropylene film (14). Consequently, when the label is heated, it will tend to curl and this effect can be used to assist in the removal of the label from the article in a hot washing bath during recycling of the article.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2012Date of Patent: April 14, 2015Assignee: Spear Group Holdings LimitedInventors: David John Davies, Darren Hammonds
