Provided are multilayer structures that include a first layer and a second layer, in which the first layer consists essentially of a machine direction oriented high density polyethylene film (MDO HDPE) and the second layer includes a heat seal layer. Typically, the MDO HDPE has a weight average molecular weight less than about 500,000 g/mol, a number average molecular weight less than about 500,000 g/mol, a moisture vapor transmission rate (MVTR) of greater than about 0.30 g/100SI/day/mil, or a combination of two more thereof. The structures may further include other layers such as adhesive, print, and/or oxygen barrier layers.

The present disclosure relates to a method to produce a coating layer, including applying a coating composition on a surface of a carrier, curing the coating composition to a coating layer, and subsequently applying pressure to the coating layer. The disclosure further relates to a method to produce a building panel, and such a building panel, and to a method to produce a coated foil, and such a coated foil.

A multi-layered polyethylene film suitable for shrink applications comprising at least a core layer and at least one other layer adjacent thereto, the core layer comprising within a range from 5 wt % to 50 wt % of a cyclic olefin copolymer based on the weight of the core layer, and within a range from 50 wt % to 95 wt % of a polyethylene based on the weight of the core layer, wherein the cyclic olefin copolymer has a glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) of at least 70? C.

Multi-layer anti-fog compositions comprising an anti-fog layer and a protective layer. The anti-fog layer comprises cellulose acetate and a plasticizer and has opposing major planar surfaces. The protective layer has opposing major planar surfaces that are oriented substantially coplanar, at least in part, to the anti-fog layer that forms a multi-layered structure. The multi-layer anti-fog compositions further comprise one or more connectors, and at least one of the connectors extends through the multi-layered structure.

The present invention includes a label, a label sheet and a method for manufacturing the label. The label includes a paper facestock having first and second surfaces and a layer of pressure sensitive adhesive proximal to the second surface. The label can be adhered to a substrate having pre-applied indicia to cover the indicia and the label is opaque enough to prevent the viewing of the covered indicia while matching the color of the substrate.

Herein is described a method of applying foil from a foil web to a substrate. The method may comprise: ink-jet printing a UV-curable adhesive onto the substrate in a predetermined image area; subjecting the adhesive to a first curing by exposing the adhesive to UV light in a dosage range of 140-170 mJ/cm.sup.2; passing the substrate and a foil web through a nip where the foil web is pressed against the adhesive; subjecting the adhesive disposed between the substrate and the foil web to a second curing by exposing the adhesive to UV light in a dosage of at least 250 mJ/cm.sup.2; and separating excess foil from the substrate, to leave foil on the predetermined image area. Substrates and UV-curable adhesives are also described.

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing of a laminated cellulose-based liquid or semi-liquid food packaging material, wherein the laminated packaging material has a bulk material layer, wherein a further sheet is laminated to the bulk material layer by an aqueous adhesive composition. The invention further relates the laminated packaging materials obtained by the method and to a packaging container for liquid food packaging, comprising the laminated packaging material or being made from the laminated packaging material obtained by the method.

A laminate sheet for a packaging container having a top and a bottom each formed by folding and heat sealing a region including an end portion of a tubular body, formed by overlapping and heat sealing two side edges of a sheet material, the laminate sheet comprising: a top seal section corresponding to the top; a bottom seal section corresponding to the bottom; and a side face section, which is a region sandwiched by the top seal section and the bottom seal section, and including: an inner layer film with a water vapor barrier layer and a sealant layer; a paper substrate; and a thermoplastic resin layer, in sequence from inside the packaging container, wherein a glossy layer is disposed between the paper substrate and the thermoplastic rem2sin layer except for at least part of a region included in the top seal section or the bottom seal section.

A copolyamide composition comprising a statistical copolyamide containing 70-99 wt % of diamine and dicarboxylic acid repeat units and 1-30 wt % of lactam or AA-BB repeat units, whereby incorporation of the comonomer lactam or AA-BB unit reduces the crystallization rate (longer crystallization times) while maintaining (1) high melting point, (2) low potential plate out, (3) low oxygen permeation, (4) high tensile strength and (5) puncture/tear resistance.

A process for fabricating a unitized structure comprises creating a multilayer structure by applying a flame-retardant resin to a first layer and stacking, on the first layer, an intermediate layer comprising a honeycomb structure. Further, a second layer is stacked on the intermediate layer and the flame-retardant resin is applied to the second layer. The multilayer structure is then heated to a desired temperature and a pressure is applied about the multilayer structure for a predetermined process time. Moreover, the flame-retardant resin is prevented from entering spaces of the honeycomb structure. After elapse of the predetermined process time, the pressure is released, creating the unitized structure.
