A thermoformable ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer composition contains: (A) an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer comprising two or more ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymers having different ethylene structural unit contents; and (B) a sorbic acid ester; wherein the sorbic acid ester (B) is present in an amount of 0.00001 to 10 ppm based on the weight of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer composition. The ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer composition is excellent in coloration-suppressing effect.

The present invention relates to a multi-layer body comprising in this order, (I) a substrate layer made of a specific thermoplastic polycarbonate molding compound, (II) at least one layer made of a colorant or a colorant composition and (III) a film. The present invention also relates to a lighting unit, comprising the multi-layer body and a light source, to a method for producing the multi-layer body, and to the use of the specific thermoplastic polycarbonate molding compound as a substrate layer of a multi-layer body of this type.

This invention relates to a polymer composition that is particularly suitable for use in the manufacture of thermoformed articles, which can be biodegraded in industrial composting. This invention also relates to a process for the production of the said composition and articles obtained thereby.

The invention relates to plastic film preferably with a thickness of 50 to 300 microns, comprising a polyolefin homopolymer or copolymer, a polyether copolymer having a melting point between 100° C. and 120° C. and a layer comprising oxygen barrier polymer.

A nonwoven laminate, including a nonwoven layer including multicomponent staple fibres and a needled nonwoven layer including monocomponent staple fibres and multicomponent staple fibers, wherein the layers are bonded to each other by melt-bonding, and not by needling. The multicomponent staple fibers include a polyester component and a copolyester component and the monocomponent staple fibers in the needled nonwoven layer are polyester fibers. All fibres of the nonwoven laminate are polyester and/or copolyester fibers, and the needled nonwoven layer has a basis weight of 500 to 2000 g/m2, determined according to DIN EN 29073-1:1992-08. The nonwoven laminate has a bending force of at least 6 N, determined according to ISO 178:2019 for 2 mm deflection.

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.

A multilayer film that includes at least a first polymeric layer comprising a polyolefin-based polymer and a second polymeric layer comprising a blend of a polar polymer and a silicon (Si) containing material comprising a silane having at least one alkyl group having at least 6 carbon atoms (C6) is disclosed. Methods of using and making the multilayer film is also disclosed.

A wind turbine blade including an elongate reinforcing structure, the reinforcing structure comprising a plurality of strips of fibre-reinforced polymer arranged into a stack structure, and at least one adjacent pair of the plurality of strips including an infusion promoting layer, wherein the infusion promoting layer is a fabric comprising a plurality of twisted yarns. The invention is also expressed as a method of assembling a wind turbine blade.

An article comprising: (a) one or more nonwoven material layers comprising a lofted fibrous material; and (b) one or more molded material layers having a fibrous matrix, wherein the article is configured to at least partially thermally insulate an item or compartment and the article absorbs external heat or cold to substantially prevent amplitude of temperature fluctuation of the item or within the compartment.

A blow molded multilayer article with a hollow body defined by a wall with an inner surface and an outer surface. The outer surface has an axial color gradient and/or a gloss gradient. The wall has multiple layers and at least one layer contains an effect pigment and/or an opacifying pigment.
