| 20100285286 | ELASTIC LAMINATES - The presently described technology provides one or more types of low cost elastic laminates with improved elasticity via stretching of an elastic layer, a non-woven layer, or the overall laminate that achieves reduced processing time and cost, can be utilized in a variety of end-user applications, and further provides self-warning capability to end-users of potential film and/or laminate overstretch. The described elastic laminates have at least one elastic layer and at least two non-woven layers, in which the elastic layers has at least one inelastic region formed via heating, incremental stretching, severing, or bonding. Additionally, heat shrink laminates having improved elasticity and compatibility with various laminate components are also described. Processes and systems for the manufacture of the described elastic laminates are also provided. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100215925 | PRINTED THERMOPLASTIC FILM HAVING A PVB INK LAYER AND A RADIATION-CURED OVERPRINT COATING - A printed thermoplastic film having a radiation-curable overprint coating is disclosed. The thermoplastic film is printed with an ink system that comprises a polyvinyl butyral carrier resin, a pigment dispersed in the carrier resin, a solvent, a plasticizer, and a coupling agent. The polyvinyl butyral based ink system provides better adhesion to the thermoplastic film than conventional nitrocellulose-based inks when used in conjunction with the radiation-curable overprint coating. | 08-26-2010 |
| 20090305015 | CHILL CAST MULCH FILM - The agricultural film of the present invention includes a monolayer and multilayer embodiment wherein a first layer is composed of at least one polyolefin polymer wherein the film has a thickness of from about 0.1-10 mils and the film is formed by chill cast extrusion. A method for making the agricultural film of the present invention is also provided. | 12-10-2009 |
| 20090299314 | MD Stretch Laminate Having CD Stretch - The presently described technology provides a machine-direction stretch elastic laminate having in addition cross-direction stretch. The elastomeric laminate comprises an elastic film layer laminated to at least one nonwoven fabric layer and may be used in elasticized features of various articles, such as disposable absorbent articles. Methods for producing the elastic laminate are also described. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20090285511 | Cross Direction Tear Film and Package - A film having a cross directional tear/machine directional tear ratio below 1 is described. The film has a sealant layer with a cyclic olefin copolymer. The film can be used in the manufacture of packages having an easy cross-direction tear open feature. There are also provided methods for the production of the film and packages made of the film. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20090068431 | One-Sided Tacky Polyolefin Film - A multi-layer film having a tacky or non-skid surface includes at least one non-tacky first layer composed of at least one polyolefin polymer. At least one second tacky layer is also provided and is composed of metallocene-catalyzed polyolefin polymers, ethylene copolymer resins, styrene-ethylene/butylene-styrene block copolymers and mixtures thereof. | 03-12-2009 |
