A gas barrier laminate including a resin substrate, a first coating layer containing a carboxylic acid polymer; and a second coating layer containing a polyvalent metal compound and a resin, laminated in this order; a ratio of a thickness of the second coating layer to the first coating layer in the range of 1.0 or more and 4.0 or less; and the second coating layer satisfies at least one of the following: (condition 1) a haze of the second coating layer is 8% or less; (condition 2) a surface roughness Ra of the second coating layer is ½ or less of the thickness of the second coating layer; and (condition 3) the number of concave portions having a diameter of 1.5 μm or more per unit area on a surface of the second coating layer opposite to the first coating layer is 2/0.01 mm.sup.2 or less.

The present invention relates to a multilayer film, especially to a multilayer thermoplastic film, which may be used for food packaging, wherein the multilayer film according to the present invention may be provided, on its inner side, with a food additive, particularly with a flavoring and/or coloring and/or an aroma producing food additive (such as e.g. a liquid smoke), which food additive is then released and transferred onto the surface of a foodstuff encased in the multilayer film during cooking and/or processing of the foodstuff.

A hardened, aroma-trapping carrying case that is an airtight, water resistant, odor proof container assembly with first and second substantially polycarbonate container portions, the first polycarbonate container portion pivotally coupled to the second polycarbonate container portion and designed to be opened or closed, the rim portions designed to interleave contiguously to create a substantially airtight seal for true aromatherapy containment. An assembly of at least two flexible strips of metal or plastic with interlocking projections coupled to the rim portions of the container assembly is designed to coupled or uncoupled the rim portions to each other by pulling a slide assembly along the assembly of at least two flexible strips of metal or plastic with interlocking projections. At least one substantially polyurethane layer assembly and at least one substantially activated charcoal layer assembly contiguously lines the interior of the container assembly. A lock assembly is designed to prevent pulling the slide assembly when the container is closed.

Hemp fibers may be disposed throughout or in selected portions of a hose (e.g., an expandable water hose). The hemp fibers deployed in the hose enhance the durability of the hose, and imparts various advantageous properties (e.g., anti-microbial or anti-bacterial, mildew-resistant, odor reduction, moisture wicking, etc.) to the hose.

The present disclosure relates to a thermoplastic film that includes a layer of thermoplastic material and an encapsulated odor control component. The encapsulated odor control component can include an odor-control active encapsulated within an odor-control encapsulant. Additionally, the encapsulated odor control component can be configured to release the odor-control active from the encapsulant when exposed to malodor particles. The thermoplastic film can further include a color indicator that changes color to indicate performance of the encapsulated odor control component. For example, the color indicator can change from a first color to a second color based, at least in part, on the release of the odor-control active.

Disclosed herein is an improved cover board product with a panel comprising a top surface layer comprised of paper or a fiberglass web; a bottom surface layer comprised of paper, a fiberglass web, nylon film, polyester film, polypropene film, or textiles; and a core layer comprised of paper and thermoplastic fragments connected by a thermoplastic bonding resin. The thermoplastic bonding resin is in a random pattern to less than 100% of the paper and thermoplastic fragment surface area.

The present invention provides: a sealant film for packaging liquid contents, which is excellent in manufacture suitability, exhibits the effect of being highly adsorptive against an eluting organic substance that a packaging material inherently contains, and odors generated by decomposition of a package-constituting resin and the like, at the time of sterilization/disinfection treatment, and is excellent in resistance to an odor-taste change for the liquid contents; and a package for liquid contents, produced using the sealant film. A sealant film for packaging liquid contents includes at least an odor adsorption layer, wherein the sealant film is formed from a resin composition containing low-elution polyethylene, the odor adsorption layer is formed from a resin composition containing the low-elution polyethylene and an odor adsorbent, a concentration of eluting TOC contained in a film formed from the low-elution polyethylene is 1.5 ppm or higher and 250 ppm or lower, and the odor adsorbent is an inorganic porous material carrying a chemical adsorbent thereon; and a packaging material for liquid contents and a package for liquid contents are produced using the sealant film.

Hemp fibers may be disposed throughout or in selected portions of a hose (e.g., an expandable water hose). The hemp fibers deployed in the hose enhance the durability of the hose, and imparts various advantageous properties (e.g., anti-microbial or anti-bacterial, mildew-resistant, odor reduction, moisture wicking, etc.) to the hose.

Composite ceramic materials are disclosed in which an interconnected network of ceramic material on a substrate contains pores with an accessible pore volume that is at least partially filled with a polymer, resin, and/or wax.

Surface modifications and coating materials are provided that may be applied to a substrate to reduce or eliminate damage that would accrue to do environmental effects or operational stress when incorporated into a device such as a heat exchanger. Structured ceramic surface modification materials may be incorporated into the surface modification and may optionally include a gradient in one or more physical or chemical property.
