A method includes injection molding a preform using a two phase injection system having a first phase in which a material is injected into the preform and a second phase in which the material is injected into the preform. The preform is disposed in a mold. The preform is blow molded into an intermediate article. The intermediate article is trimmed to form a finished container. The first phase includes injecting a material into the preform to form a single layer of the preform and the second phase includes injecting the material to form inner and outer layers and an intermediate layer between the inner and outer layers. The inner and outer layers include the material and the intermediate layer includes at least one additive. Finished containers are disclosed.

The present invention discloses a foaming and dyeing integrated production line for a polymer material product, and a method thereof. The production line comprises a foaming and dyeing kettle, a pressure control module, a dye separation module, a fluid liquefaction and storage module, a fluid pressurization delivery module, a fluid heating module and a dyeing circulation module. The production line integrates the functions of one-step foaming and supercritical fluid dyeing of polymer material, thereby being simple in structure, comprehensive in function, convenient to operate, high in production efficiency, good in product quality and low in cost; besides, the production line can carry out both dyeing and foaming operations, only foaming operation or only dyeing operation on polymer material.

The present disclosure provides a contact lens comprising a first colourant which is a blue-blocking colourant having an absorption maximum (λ.sub.max) in the range of from 415 nm to 455 nm and a second colourant, wherein the second colourant is a polymerizable dye having an absorption maximum (λ.sub.max) in the range of from 470 nm to 600 nm, and optionally also comprising a third colourant which is a colourant having an absorption maximum in the range of from greater than 600 nm to 800 nm. A method of making the lens is also provided.

Coextruded acrylic foils made from impact-modified polyalkyl (meth)acrylates and laser engravable labels containing these foils. The coextruded acrylic foils are designed for labelling by a laser and contain a contrast layer having at least one inorganic filler and an engraving layer arranged on the contrast layer and having at least one colourant.

A composition includes an infrared reflective additive having one or more infrared reflective colorants and a thermally emissive filler. The infrared reflective additive can be melt processed in a polymeric matrix.

A polyester film having a laminated structure and a method for manufacturing the same are provided. The polyester film has at least two polyester film layers. Each of the polyester film layers includes a physically recycled polyester resin and a chemically recycled polyester resin. The physically recycled polyester resin is formed by a plurality of physically recycled polyester chips. The chemically recycled polyester resin is formed by a plurality of chemically recycled polyester chips, and is mixed with the physically recycled polyester resin. The plurality of chemically recycled polyester chips further includes chemically recycled electrostatic pinning polyester chips. The chemically recycled electrostatic pinning polyester chips contain electrostatic pinning additives, and the electrostatic pinning additives are metal salts. The at least two polyester film layers are a white polyester film layer and a black polyester film layer, respectively.

Compositions and methods for making biodegradable plastic products are provided. The compositions include a destabilizing agent that makes the finished plastic biodegradable. The compositions also can include an oil-based carrier, such as cottonseed oil, that allows the biodegrading agent to be metered into a continuous plastic manufacturing process. The compositions further can include an additive that allows the biodegrading additive to combine with the carrier; an optical brightener to improve the appearance of the finished plastic product, and to indicate the presence of the composition in the finished product; and a pigment, so that the composition can act as a liquid coloring agent.

An ink for forming a scintillator product includes a phenylated siloxane polymer having at least one functional group per molecule for crosslinking, a filler having a refractive index about matching a refractive index of the phenylated siloxane polymer, where the refractive indices are within about 5% of one another, a rheology modifier, and at least one fluorescent dye.
