It is provided an airbag multilayer complex excellent in flexibility and durability by controlling adhesion between an adhesive layer and a base fabric to a predetermined range, and an airbag using it. This disclosure is an airbag multilayer complex comprising a base fabric and a multilayer film including an outer layer and an adhesive layer that is bonded to one surface of the base fabric. The adhesive strength of the interface between the multilayer film and the base fabric is 5 N/cm or more, the difference in loop stiffness between the airbag multilayer complex and the base fabric is 130 mN/cm or less, the adhesive layer contains a first resin having a hydrogen-bonding capacity, and the difference in Hansen solubility parameter (ΔHSP) between the base fabric and the first resin is 5 MPa.sup.0.5 or less.

The invention relates to a food packaging unit (20) comprising a food container (1) for receiving a liquid, pasty or free-flowing food. The injection-moulded, single-component, cup-shaped base body (2) of the food container surrounds, with a wall (5), a bottom (6) and an outwardly projecting collar (7), an opening (4) which is closed by a food-container-covering film (10) applied to the collar (7). The food container (1) is injection-moulded in a single layer from a polymer blend comprising two components, a first component of which being PVOH or a PVOH copolymer. The food-container-covering film (10), which can be applied to the plastic food container (1) in order to close the opening (4) by sealing, welding or adhesion, comprises a cellulose-containing layer which is coated with PVOH, or a PVOH polymer blend layer.

A packaged product has a product surrounded by a vacuum skin package. The vacuum skin package has a support member and an implosion-resistant thermoplastic top web. The top web conforms with both the upper surface of the product, and an uncovered portion of the upper surface of the support member. The thermoplastic top web comprises an ethylene/α-olefin copolymer in an amount of from 55 wt % to 85 wt %, based on total weight of top web, and/or a blend of ethylene/α-olefin copolymer and cyclic olefin copolymer. Also disclosed is a vacuum skin package containing the implosion-resistant top web.

The present disclosure is directed to a web control guide for an inflation and sealing assembly of a protective packaging formation device for inflating a web material into a chain of inflated cushions. The web control guide is positioned along a material path at a transverse spacing from a first compression element and constrains a first thickness of the material path measured normal to the longitudinal and transverse directions of the material path. The transverse spacing and constrained thickness dimension are sufficiently small to prevent transverse movement of the flexible material towards the first compression element to avoid excessive heating of the web material outside a sealing zone.

The present invention relates to a method capable of easily manufacturing a curved thin glass sheet and a curved joined glass sheet to which functionality is added.

A condensation management apparatus comprises a microstructured film arranged to condense water vapor on an underside of a substantially horizontal surface. The film comprises channels disposed at least on a first major surface and configured to support capillary movement of condensate. The channels have a channel axis substantially parallel with a longitudinal axis of the film. A capillary siphon structure of the film comprises a fold in the film, a condensate collection region proximate the fold, and a siphon region between the fold and a condensate release location of the film. At least a portion of a second major surface is attached to the underside of the substantially horizontal surface such that longitudinal openings of the channels of the condensate collection region are oriented towards a direction of gravity and the condensate release location is positioned lower along the direction of gravity than the condensate collection region.

A resin granule mass including a plurality of resin granules, and a proportion of resin granules to which a magnetic foreign matter of 50 μm or greater is adhered in the plurality of resin granules is 30% or less.

The present invention relates to a biodegradable multi-layer packaging element, such as a foil or wrap, for a food product, a food packaging unit comprising such multi-layer and a method for manufacturing such biodegradable multi-layer, with the multi-layer comprising: —an inner cover layer comprising an amount of a biodegradable aliphatic polyester; —a first intermediate layer of a biodegradable material for connecting and/or sealing adjacent layers; —a functional layer comprising a vinyl alcohol polymer; —a second intermediate layer of a biodegradable material for connecting and/or sealing adjacent layers; and —an outer cover layer comprising an amount of a biodegradable aliphatic polyester.

A laminated pane, includes an outer pane, an inner pane, and at least two intermediate layers, wherein at least two separate functional elements with electrically controllable optical properties are arranged in a plane between the two intermediate layers, wherein on two opposite sides of each functional element, an inner bus bar is connected in each case to the respective functional element and at least one of the two opposite sides of each functional element is sealed by two PET barrier films, which are partly arranged between an intermediate layer and the functional element, wherein attached on one of the PET barrier films is at least one outer bus bar that is connected via an electrically conducting connection to the inner bus bar of a functional element, in order to electrically control the functional element separately from the other functional element or elements.
