The present invention relates to a fully moisture-tight multilayer material, which is also able to absorb, retain and not release the absorbed moisture or free water into the formulations containing pharmacological active substances and/or instable components with biological activity and/or effervescent and/or easily perishable formulations; said material being useful for preparing bags, envelopes and sachets for packaging food, dietary and cosmetic products, medical devices and medicinal products. The multilayer material of the present invention is a multilayer material that is useful for preparing containers in the form of bags, envelopes, sachets and sticks coming into direct contact with the formulations of the food, dietary and cosmetic products as well as of the medical devices and medicinal products in the form of e.g. lactic bacteria and/or bifidobacteria in powders or granules, either dried or freeze-dried.

A multi-layered packaging film includes (a) an outer print layer, (b) an inner product-side layer, and (c) a lamination layer interposed between the outer print layer and the inner product-side layer.

The transfer film includes a temporary support, a resin layer, and a cover film in this order, in which when the cover film is peeled from the resin layer, a surface of the cover film that contacted the resin layer has surface roughnesses SRz and SRa of equal to or less than 130 nm and equal to or less than 8 nm respectively that are measured based on JIS-B0601-2001.

A biodegradable polymeric sheet may be configured to undergo biodegradation on the ground responsive to an exposure to free air and natural day light. The biodegradable polymeric sheet may include a first layer comprising polysaccharide at a weight % of between 15% to 50% and a polyester matrix, the first layer is configured to form a water barrier when in contact with water; a second layer comprising a polysaccharide at a weight % of at least 40% and a polyester matrix; and a third layer comprising polysaccharide at a weight % of between 15% to 50%, a polyester matrix and an additive configured to accelerate disintegration of the polymeric sheet when exposed to natural day light, the third layer is configured to form a water barrier when in contact with water.

According to one embodiment, a polyisocyanurate foam board is described. The foam board includes a polyisocyanurate core that is produced from: an isocyanate, a polyol, and a phosphorous containing non-halogenated fire retardant. The foam board also includes a facer material that is applied to at least one surface of the polyisocyanurate core. The polyisocyanurate core has an isocyanate index greater than about 200 and is able to forms a sufficiently stable char when exposed to flame conditions to enable the polyisocyanurate core to pass the ASTM E-84 test. The foam board has an initial R-value of at least 6.40 and exhibits an ASTM E1354-11b test performance that is equivalent with or better than a similar foam board having a halogenated fire retardant, such as tris(2-chloroisopropyl)phosphate (TCPP).

A glass laminate includes a non-glass substrate with a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. A glass sheet is laminated to the first surface of the non-glass substrate. A barrier film is laminated to the second surface of the non-glass substrate and includes a first surface adjacent to the non-glass substrate, a second surface opposite the first surface. A thickness of the barrier film can be at most about 0.5 mm. The second surface of the barrier film can define an outer surface of the glass laminate. The barrier film can be a multi-layer barrier film with a metal layer and a polymer layer. An absolute value of a flatness of the glass laminate determined according to European Standard EN 438 after exposure to 23° C. and 90% relative humidity for 7 days can be at most about 3 mm/m.
