A package comprises: a sterile barrier packaging film; self-sterilizing components comprising: a plurality of chlorite ions and water, wherein the self-sterilizing components are substantially free of an energy-activated catalyst and of an acid-releasing compound; a package interior formed by hermetically sealing the sterile barrier packaging film; and a headspace within the package interior comprising carbon dioxide present in an amount of greater than or equal to 5% by volume of the headspace. When the package is exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light having a wavelength of 254 nm, the chlorite ions react with the water to generate chlorine dioxide (ClO.sub.2), which is released into the headspace. In the absence of any UV light, there is not chlorine dioxide (ClO.sub.2) generation.

A moisture-curable polyurethane hot melt adhesive composition having good oleic acid resistance, especially when exposed to 100% pure oleic acid under aging condition of 65° C. and 90% relative humidity, wherein the adhesive composition comprises, consists essentially of or consists of a moisture-curable polyurethane prepolymer, the prepolymer being a reaction product of at least one amorphous polyester polyol containing an aromatic group and at least one polyisocyanate, preferably at least one polyisocyanate containing an aromatic group, wherein the aromatic group is comprised in the polyurethane prepolymer in a content of no less than 23 wt. %, preferably no less than 25 wt. %, more preferably no less than 30 wt. %.

Various systems are provided herein for sealing and dispensing the contents of containers. The systems can include openings that may be movable relative to one another between sealed positions and dispensing positions.

The present disclosure provides a fitment. In an embodiment, a fitment is provided and includes a top portion, a base, and a channel extending through the top portion and the base for passage of a flowable material. The fitment is composed of a polymeric composition. The polymeric composition includes (i) from 70 to 90 weight percent of a high density polyethylene (HDPE) having a density from 0.940 g/cc to 0.970 g/cc, a melt temperature, Tm, greater than 125° C., and a melt index from 1 g/10 min to 50 g/10 min; and (ii) from 30 to 10 weight percent of an olefin-based elastomer having a density from 0.860 g/cc to 0.905 g/cc, a melt index from 0.2 g/10 min to 50 g/10 min, and a Tm less than 125° C.
