The method for extruding and labeling a packaging tube comprises the following successive steps: a) forming a partially or totally tubular label from a film in a shaper; b) inserting the label into a calibration element; c) extruding a tubular body at the concave-face side of the label in an extrusion head; d) bringing the outer face of the extruded tubular body into contact with the concave face of the label. In the method, the label comprises at least one layer of which the melting temperature is at least 20° C. higher than the melting temperature of the extruded tubular body. A first pressure difference is formed in the extruded tube with an air jet.

Provided is a microporous film which has a surface A and a surface B opposite to the surface A. In one embodiment, the microporous film has a ratio (F.sub.B/F.sub.A) of a dynamic friction coefficient F.sub.B of the surface B to a dynamic friction coefficient F.sub.A of the surface A of 1.2 to 20. In another embodiment, the microporous film is a single layer having a thickness of 3-18 μm, a number N.sub.A of pores on the surface A is 10-100/μm.sup.2, a number N.sub.B of pores on the surface B is 20-200/μm.sup.2, and N.sub.A/N.sub.B is 0.2-0.96. In addition, a total area S.sub.A of pores on the surface A is 0.02-0.5 μm.sup.2/μm.sup.2, a total area S.sub.B of pores on the surface B is 0.01-0.3 μm.sup.2/μm.sup.2, and S.sub.A/S.sub.B is 1.1-10. Furthermore, in another embodiment, a number W.sub.B of protrusion-like bodies on the surface B is 0.2-1000/100 μm.sup.2.

The present invention relates to a process for forming cellulose fibers or film from dissolved cellulose. The process comprises the steps of: dissolving cellulose in an aqueous coagulation sodium salt solution to provide a cellulose spin dope; extruding the cellulose spin dope into a coagulation bath liquid comprising an aqueous coagulation sodium salt solution to provide cellulose fibers or film; withdrawing a portion of the coagulation bath comprising coagulation sodium salt and sodium hydroxide (NaOH); cooling the withdrawn portion of the coagulation bath to precipitate solid coagulation sodium salt to recover sodium hydroxide (NaOH) substantially free from the coagulation salt; and using at least a portion of the recovered sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in dissolving the cellulose to provide the cellulose spin dope.

A product and method for providing oxygen remediating extruded or other melt-phase plastics for packages for reducing oxygen-linked damage to foods, pharmaceuticals, or other oxygen sensitive substances. The method for making oxygen remediating melt-phase incorporated plastics for packages and packaging elements generally includes the addition of an oxygen managing combination of compounds that restrict the migration of oxygen and/or eliminate migration oxygen through reaction with components of the polymer additive. Dry components remain inactive until moisture from the packaged food partially deliquesces a formulary component to trigger oxidation of a powdered metal or other oxidizing compound. Other additives absorb and distribute moisture and facilitate electron movement for improved oxidation.
