| 20080251487 | OVERMOLDED CONTAINER HAVING A FOAM LAYER - An overmolded preform and a container blow molded from the same are disclosed, wherein the overmolded preform and the overmolded container include an outer foamed layer. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20090072427 | PROCESS FOR VARYING THE APPEARANCE OF A CONTAINER HAVING A FOAMED WALL - A process for varying the appearance of a container is disclosed, the process comprises injection molding a polymer preform having a non-reactive gas entrapped within the walls thereof, cooling the preform to a temperature below the polymer softening temperature, reheating the preform to a predetermined temperature greater than the polymer softening temperature, and blow molding the reheated preform, to prepare a container consisting essentially of a micro cellular foamed polymer having a non-reactive gas contained within the micro cellular foam cells, wherein the appearance of the container is varied based on the predetermined temperature. | 03-19-2009 |
| 20090297748 | CONTAINER HAVING A FOAMED WALL - A multi-layer preform having at least one foamed layer suitable for forming a multi-layer blow molded container having at least one foamed layer container is disclosed, the multi-layer container formed by a process comprising the steps of injection molding a polymer melt having a non-reactive gas entrained therein, causing entrained gas cells in the polymer melt to open to form a polymer preform having an open cell foam layer, cooling the preform to a temperature below the polymer softening temperature, reheating the preform to a temperature greater than the polymer softening temperature, and blow molding the preform in a second mold, to prepare the container. At least one layer of the container may be blended with an oxygen and/or carbon dioxide barrier material. | 12-03-2009 |
| 20100192668 | GAS PERMEATION TESTING SYSTEM - A system for the automated regulation of a gas permeation testing system is disclosed, wherein a control system in communication with a data processor facilitates more precise control of a pressurized fluid caused to flow through the gas permeation testing system. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100227092 | OVERMOLDED CONTAINER HAVING AN INNER FOAMED LAYER - An overmolded preform and a container blow molded from the same are disclosed, wherein the overmolded preform and the overmolded container include an inner foamed layer. | 09-09-2010 |
| 20100264052 | FOAMED-WALL CONTAINER WITH FOAMED AND UNFOAMED REGIONS - A container comprises a micro cellular foamed polymer having foamed and unfoamed regions, wherein the container has one of a silvery appearance and a white appearance without the use of a colorant. | 10-21-2010 |
| 20100323139 | FOAMED-WALL CONTAINER HAVING A NON-TRANSPARENT APPEARANCE - A container comprises a micro cellular foamed polymer, and a non-reactive gas contained within the micro cellular foam cells, wherein the container has a non-transparent appearance. The process for making the container comprises injection molding a polymer preform having a non-reactive gas entrapped within the walls thereof, cooling the preform to a temperature below the polymer softening temperature, reheating the preform to a temperature above the polymer softening temperature, and blow molding the preform, to prepare a container comprising a micro cellular foamed polymer having a non-reactive gas contained within the micro cellular foam cells. | 12-23-2010 |
