The invention relates to a polymer-coated packaging material, a method of manufacturing the same, and products, such as a disposable drinking cup, made from the material. The packaging material comprises a fibrous base (1) of paper or board, an innermost polymer layer (2) containing a blend of (i) 10 to 25 wt-% of a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and (ii) 75 to 90 wt-% of a second polyethylene with a higher melt viscosity, said second polyethylene being selected from linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) and high-density polyethylene (HDPE), and an outer layer (3) of more than 90 wt-% of HDPE. An outermost layer (4) of a polymer blend similar to that used for the innermost layer (2) may be provided for heat-sealing. The layers (2, 3 and 4) may be brought and adhered to the fibrous base (1) by coextrusion. To maximize renewability of the materials HDPE and LLDPE as used for the structure are of biologic origin.

A method of forming a surface covering includes supplying a surface covering raw material. The surface covering raw material includes a substrate and a foamable layer formed on the substrate. A foaming inhibiting composition is applied in a predetermined pattern to the foamable layer formed on the substrate. The foaming inhibiting composition is a non-aqueous composition.

A container manufacturing method includes an RFID inlay disposing step of disposing an RFID inlay provided with a thermoplastic adhesive on an inner surface of a mold with the thermoplastic adhesive exposed, and a molding step of supplying a heated material to the mold and molding a container provided with the RFID inlay on an outer surface thereof via the thermoplastic adhesive.

A compostable laminated packaging film comprises a first cellulosic layer having a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface, the first major surface of the first cellulosic layer configured to face away from a product to be packaged. A second cellulosic layer has a first major surface and a second major surface opposite the first major surface, wherein the first major surface of the second cellulosic layer is configured to face toward a product to be packaged. The second major surface of the first cellulosic layer and the second major surface of the second cellulosic layer have been surface-treated to enhance adhesion properties. A compostable polymer layer and an optional adhesive layer are disposed intermediate the first cellulosic layer and the second cellulosic layer.

A packaging material laminate structure comprises a first side, a second side opposite the first side and an attenuated area. An opening device is arranged with a first portion on the first side, with a second portion on the second side and with a first material bridge connecting both portions through the attenuated area. A consumer opening area is defined on the packaging material laminate and arranged such that packaging material laminate is ruptured on using the plastic opening device to open the consumer opening area. A pouring support device adjacent to the consumer opening area is having a pouring portion arranged on the first side and a support portion on the second side, wherein the pouring portion and the support portion are connected via a second material bridge through the attenuated area.

An anchoring method of anchoring an anchoring element in a construction object is provided, where a surface of which object has at least one of pores in a surface, structures in a surface (such as an arrangement of ridges with undercut), a inhomogeneous characteristic with makes the penetration of a surface by a liquid under pressure possible, thereby creating pores filed by the liquid underneath the surface, and of a cavity. The method includes the steps of: providing a first element and a second element, the first element comprising a thermoplastic material; positioning the first element in a vicinity of said surface and/or of said cavity, respectively, and positioning the second element in contact with the first element; and causing a third element to vibrate while loading the first element with a force, thereby applying mechanical vibrations to the first element, and simultaneously loading the first element with a counter-force by the second element.

A low-carbon insulative foam board includes an agricultural product mixed with petroleum-derived polymer foam. The foam board exhibits insulation, durability, and mechanical properties substantially similar to a foam board without the mixed agricultural product. In an embodiment, a polyisocyanurate board includes bubble walls carrying milled biomass, which displaces a portion of the polyisocyanurate.

An opening device for a package made of a sheet packaging materialsaid sheet packaging material comprising at least a first layer and a second layer, and having a hole formed through said first layer and sealed by a cover portion of said second layeris made of plastic material molded onto said cover portion, and in turn comprises a spout defining a pouring opening and a wall portion closing said pouring opening, said wall portion defining, together with said cover portion, a user-removable sealing portion of said spout, a weakening region being interposed between said wall portion and said spout and said cover portion covering said weakening region; a molding apparatus for molding an opening device on a sheet packaging material is also disclosed.

A structure is injection molded onto a group of panels to form a container. The container has a tray and an injection-molded feature. The tray has a plurality of side panels that extend at least partially around, and at least partially define, a cavity of the container. The tray has a plurality of multi-part flanges with at least one of the multi-part flanges including a lower flange portion and an upper flange portion. The injection-molded feature has band that is injected molded onto the lower flange portion and the upper flange portion. An injection-molded strip extends along and at least partially defines the corner of the container. The strip extends downward from the inner portion of the band in the elongate corner of the container. A tool is also disclosed for forming the container.

The disclosure relates to a method for molding and coating a container comprising fibers, in particular pulp, wherein the method comprises: molding a container comprising fibers, in particular pulp, which container comprises an opening, wherein the container is provided in a mold and in particular is molded around a coating bladder, or molding container elements comprising fibers, in particular pulp, which container elements comprise an opening, wherein the container elements are provided in a mold and in particular are molded around a coating bladder; molding the coating bladder, which is arranged at least temporarily and/or partially in the container or the container elements; applying a pressure medium from a pressure source to the coating bladder to expand it, so that the coating bladder is at least partially applied to an inner wall of the container or the container elements.
