The invention also relates to a paper, paperboard or film produced according to the method.

Described herein is an actinically curable adhesive composition, suitable for sealing flexible packaging, that includes an inert urethane polymer and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer component selected from at least one monofunctional ethylenically unsaturated monomer, at least one multifunctional ethylenically unsaturated monomer, and a combination thereof, wherein the ethylenically unsaturated monomer component disperses the inert urethane polymer. The compositions are suitable for forming flexible packaging materials for foods and other materials, particularly sensitive materials. Also described are flexible packaging materials and a method for preparing an actinically curable adhesive composition.

The invention discloses oxygen scavenging films having at least one oxygen scavenging layer comprising a blend of ethylene/methyl acrylate/cyclohexene methyl acrylate copolymer (EMCM) as oxygen scavenger resin and a catalyst in a carrier resin, and an outer substrate layer having a thickness greater than 5% with respect to the total thickness of the film. The invention also relates to a process for the manufacturing of such films, to the use of said films in food packaging and to the packages obtained therefrom.

A multilayer produce packaging film includes a first layer and a chlorine dioxide-producing layer. The chlorine dioxide-producing layer includes a polymer composition and a plurality of chlorite ions. The chlorine dioxide-producing layer is substantially free of an energy-activated catalyst and is substantially free of an acid-releasing compound. However, the film is capable of generating chlorine dioxide when exposed to UV light and moisture.

A sealant film including a polyolefin layer containing polyolefin as a main ingredient, and a polycycloolefin layer as an outermost layer containing polycycloolefin as a main ingredient. The polycycloolefin contains two or more kinds of structural units selected from a structural unit (A) derived from a dicyclopentadiene compound, a structural unit (B) derived from a tetracyclododecene compound, and a structural unit (C) derived from a norbornene compound, and the polycycloolefin has a glass transition temperature less than or equal to 80° C.

A recyclable, easily tearable packaging laminate having a good barrier effect and low density, including a first laminate layer and a second laminate layer. The first laminate layer is a co-extruded, stretched composite consisting of a cavitated substrate layer having 5-30 wt. % cavitating agent and a PE proportion of at least 60 wt. %, a connecting layer and a barrier layer consisting of a barrier polymer, preferably polyamide or ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer, with a thickness of at most 20% of the overall thickness of the first laminate layer. The connecting layer is arranged between the substrate layer and the barrier layer, and the first laminate layer is connected by its barrier layer to the second laminate layer.

Methods and apparatus are disclosed for bundling of single-use plastics into reusable material. An example method for forming a sheet of insulation includes arranging a plurality of single-use plastic straws to be parallel to each other in a side-by-side manner. At least some of the plurality of single-use plastic straws are arranged to contact adjacent ones of the plurality of single-use plastic straws. The example method also includes applying fastening material to the plurality of single-use plastic straws to couple the plurality of single-use plastic straws together.

To provide a gas barrier biaxially oriented polyamide film and a polyamide film mill roll, even as a product that is close to an end of a mill roll, having favorable mechanical characteristics, thermal characteristics, and few S-shape curling due to moisture absorption after being made into a bag. A biaxially oriented polyamide film having at least one layer formed of a polyamide resin containing not lower than 60% by mass of poly(m-xylylene adipamide), wherein a molecular orientation angle of the film is not smaller than 20°, a strain at moisture absorption of the film is not higher than 1.3%, an impact strength of the film is not lower than 0.7 J/15 μm, and a heat shrinkage rate, after heating for ten minutes at 160° C., of the film is 0.6 to 3.0% in both an MD direction and a TD direction.

A first layer that is a peelable film includes a bonding sublayer and a sealing sublayer. The bonding sublayer includes a non-neutralized ethylene acid copolymer, The scaling sublayer includes a first polyethylene and an ethylene acid copolymer or blends thereof. The first layer is adapted to withstand exposure to sterilization processes and the first layer can be essentially free of blistering.
