20110005961	Extrusion-Coated Lidding Foil For Push-Through Blister Packaging - An extrusion-coated lidding foil for blister packaging particularly suitable for push-through pharmaceutical and food blister packaging. The lidding foil includes a foil layer on which one or more tie layer and one or more sealant layer, one or both of which include an embrittling agent mixed therein, are extrusion coated resulting in a lidding foil having push-through ability. The push-through ability of the lidding foil is characterized by a Mullen burst strength of about 10 psi to about 30 psi and an MD tear strength of about 30 to about 100 grams-force.	01-13-2011

20100170820	PAPER-BASED LIDDING FOR BLISTER PACKAGING - The present invention provides a paper-based lidding material, which includes a paper layer and a layer containing a cyclic olefin copolymer. The material is useful for blister packaging and particularly suitable for push-through pharmaceutical and food blister packaging. In one embodiment, the lidding material is formed by extrusion coating and includes at least one paper layer, at least one primer layer, at least one tie layer, at least one barrier layer containing one or more cyclic olefin copolymers, and at least one sealant layer in that order. In another embodiment, the paper-based lidding material includes a paper layer laminated to one or more barrier layers containing one or more cyclic olefin copolymers adjacent to one or more sealant layers. Embodiments of the invention can be sealed to a variety of blister films, including films that are chloride-free, to provide environmentally benign blister packages having good moisture properties.	07-08-2010

20080197531	Elastomeric Film With Anti-Skid Additive - The present invention provides an elastomeric film having anti-skid properties. The film comprises one or more layers, wherein at least one of the layers comprises from 0.1 to 10% (by weight) of an anti-skid additive, which does not melt, or has a melt temperature greater than 500° F., and has a particle size between 50 and 500 microns. Suitable anti-skid additives may be sand, clay, silica, crosslinked polyethylenes, other polymers or ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). Also provided is a resin composition and a method for manufacturing an elastomeric film having anti-skid properties.	08-21-2008
20080213573	Pigmented film with improved aesthetic properties - The present invention provides a pigmented thermoplastic film comprising one or more mineral filler agents at an amount effective to prevent or reduce the occurrence of discolouration when the film is stretched and/or to prevent or reduce the loss of the mechanical properties of the film, such as elasticity, stretchability, tear resistance, or perforation resistance. Also provided is a process and a composition for manufacture of such films. The films of the present invention are useful for industrial packaging, especially with automatic wrapping machines, but may be used to wrap any product for shipping or storage.	09-04-2008
