A composite container is provided including a container body made of a plastic material and a plastic member disposed on the outer surface of the container body. The container body and the plastic member are integrally inflated by blow molding, and the plastic member includes a colored layer and/or a print layer where a print is made.

A battery packaging material including a laminate that is provided with a barrier layer, a heat-fusible resin layer positioned on one surface side of the barrier layer, and a polyester film positioned on the other surface side of the barrier layer. When the infrared absorption spectrum on the surface of the polyester film in 18 directions at intervals of 10° from 0° to 180° is obtained using the total reflection method of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, the ratio (surface orientation degree, Y.sub.max/Y.sub.min) of the maximum value Y.sub.max and the minimum value Y.sub.min of the ratio (Y.sub.1340/Y.sub.1410) of the absorption peak intensity Y.sub.1340 in 1340 cm.sup.−1 and the absorption peak intensity Y.sub.1410 in 1410 cm.sup.−1 in the infrared absorption spectrum is in the range of 1.4-2.7.

A coating composition comprising an acid functional acrylic resin and a silane modified compound is disclosed. Substrates coated at least in part with such coatings are also disclosed.

A medical/technical device comprised of at least two materials. The materials are connected at least partially to each other permanently by a manufacturing process.

A multi-layer composite in the form of a hollow body enclosing an interior space (2) is proposed, consisting of three or four layers: an inner layer (3) adjoining the interior space (2), a middle layer (4) adjoining the latter and an outer layer (5) adjoining the middle layer (4) and closing the multi-layer composite (1) to the outside. If necessary, there is a further innermost layer (8) which directly adjoins the said inner layer (3) and is equipped with a conductive finish. The inner layer (3) is based on polyamide 6, the middle layer (4) is based on EVOH, and the outer layer (5) is based on a mixture of (A) polyamide 6 and (B) at least one other polyamide selected from the following group: polyamide 612, polyamide 614, polyamide 616 and polyamide 618.

Disclosed herein are water-soluble films and resulting packets including a water-soluble film coated by a powder, wherein the powder includes a mixture of a powdered lubricant and an active agent. Optionally, the active agent may be encapsulated, e.g. microencapsulated, for release of the active agent through mechanisms including, but not limited to, mechanical rupture, melt, ablation, dissolution, diffusion, biodegradation, or pH-controlled release. Active ingredients described include enzymes, oils, flavors, colorants, odor absorbers, fragrances, pesticides, fertilizers, activators, acid catalysts, metal catalysts, ion scavengers, bleaches, bleach components, fabric softeners and combinations thereof. Examples of packet fills include laundry detergents, bleach and laundry additives, fabric care, dishwashing, hard surface cleaning, beauty care, skin care, other personal care, and foodstuffs.

The present disclosure provides a gas storage device. In an embodiment, the gas storage device includes a cylinder with opposing ends. An endcap is present at each end. The cylinder and the endcaps form an enclosure. Each endcap includes a connector. A diaphragm is located in the enclosure. The diaphragm includes an annular sidewall. The device includes an inner chamber defined by an inner surface of the sidewall, and a storage space between an interior surface of the cylinder and an outer surface of the sidewall. A metal hydride composition is located in the storage space.

A plastic preform apparatus is disclosed that is suitable for forming a bottle. The plastic preform apparatus features a neck portion adapted to engage a closure and includes a support ring at its lowermost point. The neck portion features a first wall thickness, and an elongated body portion including a cylindrical wall portion and an end cap. An upper segment of the body portion adjacent to the support ring features a second wall thickness substantially similar to the first wall thickness and less than a third wall thickness in a lower segment of the body portion.

A coinjection molded multi-layer container includes an inner layer, an outer layer, and a barrier layer. The inner layer includes a first polymeric material and forms an inside surface of the container. The outer layer includes the first polymeric material and forms an outside surface of the container. The barrier layer is located between the inner layer and the outer layer and includes a second polymeric material less permeable to gas than the first polymeric material. The barrier layer is biased toward the inside surface or the outside surface such that the inner layer and the outer layer have different thicknesses.

The present invention refers to a sheetlike composite, comprising as a layer sequence in a direction from an outer surface of the sheetlike composite to an inner surface of the sheetlike composite a) an outer polymer layer, b) a colour application, c) a carrier layer, and d) a barrier layer; wherein the sheetlike composite comprises at least one longitudinal crease line; wherein the at least one longitudinal crease line is oriented in a first direction; wherein the sheetlike composite has a first bending resistance in the first direction; wherein a further direction is perpendicular to the first direction; wherein the sheetlike composite has a further bending resistance in the further direction; wherein the first bending resistance is less than the further bending resistance. The invention further refers to a container precursor and to a closed container, in each case comprising the preceding sheetlike composite; and to a container precursor and a closed container, in each case having a sheetlike composite with a first bending resistance along a first direction which is less than a further bending resistance along a further direction.
