The invention relates to a dark thermoplastic polymer composition, which when formed into a film has an ultra-low heat buildup, is visibly opaque, and has a high NIR transmission. The dye system involves two or more IR transparent dyes that combine to produce a color having an L value of less than 40, preferably less than 30, and a heat buildup of less than 50° F., preferably less than 45° F. In one embodiment, the composition is jet black. The composition may be a free-standing film, or a capstock used over a substrate, preferably a white substrate.

A laminate tube container is made of laminate film or sheet comprising of a vapor metalizing polyethylene film with a vapor evaporated side made of a metal, metal-oxide or inorganic substance, which is adhesive-laminated on the evaporate side with polyethylene film and an adhesive agent then laminated with other extrusion layers of polyethylene, tie and copolymer of ethylene and vinyl alcohol. The laminated tube giving both oxygen and water vapor barrier characteristics making them suitable for packaging tube particularly filled with contents, such as liquid or creamy cosmetic products and toothpastes.

Bonded polymeric film laminates comprising core polymer film layers individually coated on at least one side with a heat fusible polymer layer and fusion bonded together by the application of heat and pressure at a temperature at which each heat fusible polymer coating bonds together adjacent core polymer film layers, where the melting point or softening temperature of the heat fusible polymer is at least 3° C. below that of the core layer polymer, and the lamination temperature is at or above the melting point or softening temperature of the heat fusible coating polymer, where the heat fusible polymer coating layers are thinner than the core polymer film layers, where the coated core polymer film layers are uniaxially stretched by 2× to 40×, and the stretched coated core polymer film layers are cross-plied. Methods for forming the laminates, coated films from which the laminates are formed, and articles formed from the laminates are also disclosed.

A synthetic nonwoven fabric having bonded fibers forming channels surrounding unbonded fibers forming raised slip resistant spots. The fabric is made by extruding hot polymer through a spinneret die onto a moving belt to form a sheet of random fibers, which sheet undergoes a calendering process between a pair of heated rollers, one of which rollers having a plurality of cavities defined in its surface. The resulting fabric can be laminated and otherwise combined with other layers as desired to provide an end product having good slip resistant properties.
