The present invention relates to a molded article with a sufficiently metallic appearance and a sufficient degree of brightness.

Process for cutting a water-soluble web in a cross-machine direction. Each cutting cycle contains at least two speeds. A first speed matches that of the speed of the water-soluble web and is also the speed at the point of cutting, and a second speed is faster than the speed of the water-soluble web in the machine direction and is the speed at a point in-between two cutting actions.

Process for cutting a water-soluble web in a cross-machine direction.

This invention provides a plastic container characterized in that an expanded layer comprising expanded cells having a flat shape with an average major axis of not more than 400 m and an average aspect ratio (L/t) of not less than 6 as viewed in cross section of the container wall along the maximum stretch direction, which are oriented in the stretch direction and are distributed so as to be superimposed on top of each other in the thickness-wise direction, is formed within the container wall. In this container, expanded cells having a flat shape are distributed so as to orient in a given direction and, thus, has light shielding properties and has a pearl-like appearance, that is, has a very high commercial value. Further, since any colorant is not contained, the suitability for recycling is excellent.

Preform (1) or preform assembly for blow molding a container (23), wherein the preform of preform assembly has a neck portion (4), a lid element (16) being provided at the neck portion, an opening extending into the neck portion, providing access to an internal space of the preform or preform assembly. Method for blow molding a container. Container blown from a preform or preform assembly.

A medical fluid container includes a container interior and a connecting piece that forms an inner channel. The container interior can be accessed from the outside via the connecting piece. The connecting piece has an outer thread on a connecting piece longitudinal section. The inner channel expands in a substantially conical manner in a region of the outer thread, starting from the container interior, to then preferably transition into a first cylindrical channel shape which extends to a free opening of the connecting piece. A method can be used for producing the medical fluid container from a container blank.

An overmolded preform and a container blow molded from the same are disclosed, wherein the overmolded preform and the overmolded container include an inner foamed layer.

The present disclosure concerns an apparatus and a method for injection molding of an elongated hollow article, such as a urinary catheter, said apparatus comprising a heated central mold with an inlet opening for entering liquid molding compound into a substantially tubular cavity formed in said central mold; an elongated central mold core which is provided in the tubular cavity and extends beyond said tubular cavity and into a tip mold cavity of a tip mold part which is aligned with the tubular mold cavity in the longitudinal axis of the central mold core; wherein the tip mold part is moveable in a linear movement in a direction along the longitudinal axis of the elongated central mold core.
