A gas barrier film including: a substrate layer containing polypropylene; a resin layer containing a copolymer of propylene and another monomer; a vapor deposition layer of an inorganic oxide; and a gas barrier layer, laminated in this order, wherein the vapor deposition layer has a thickness of 5 nm to 300 nm, the resin layer has a thickness of 0.3 .Math.m or more, and a surface of the resin layer facing the vapor deposition layer has at least one softening temperature in a range of 100° C. to 170° C. when measured by local thermal analysis (LTA).

The present disclosure relates to a multi-layer thermal insulation blanket, designed to protect the upper body, having as characteristics retaining the heat emitted by the patient and reusing it to keep the patient warm, namely to control or prevent Inadvertent Perioperative Hypothermia during surgery proceedings in the operating room.

The invention relates to a food packaging unit (20) comprising a food container (1) for receiving a liquid, pasty or free-flowing food. The injection-moulded, single-component, cup-shaped base body (2) of the food container surrounds, with a wall (5), a bottom (6) and an outwardly projecting collar (7), an opening (4) which is closed by a food-container-covering film (10) applied to the collar (7). The food container (1) is injection-moulded in a single layer from a polymer blend comprising two components, a first component of which being PVOH or a PVOH copolymer. The food-container-covering film (10), which can be applied to the plastic food container (1) in order to close the opening (4) by sealing, welding or adhesion, comprises a cellulose-containing layer which is coated with PVOH, or a PVOH polymer blend layer.

The present application relates to a method for manufacturing an indicator for food that can visually check the quality change in food in a package state, an indicator for food manufactured therefrom, and a method for checking the storage status of food using the same. The manufacturing method of an indicator for food of the present application includes bonding a first film, on which an indicator layer including a pH-sensitive indicator is formed on one surface thereof, and a second film, on which an adhesive layer is formed on one surface thereof, so that the indicator layer of the first film and the adhesive layer of the second film can face each other.

The present disclosure provides a resin composition containing a bio-polyethylene resin (A), an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (B), and an alkali metal salt (C), wherein the content of the alkali metal salt (C) is 10 ppm to 1500 ppm, in terms of metal, with respect to the weight of the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (B). With this resin composition, gel formation and a reduction in transparency during molding are suppressed, and a molded product having an excellent appearance can thus be obtained.

Airsoles or bladders for articles of footwear comprising multi-layered films are provided herein. In one aspect, the airsoles or bladders comprise a first sheet and a second sheet, wherein a first side of the first sheet faces a second side of the second sheet, wherein the first sheet and the second sheet are bonded together to form an internal cavity in a space between the first side of the first sheet and the second side of the second sheet, forming a bladder capable of retaining a gas in the internal cavity at a pressure above atmospheric pressure, at atmospheric pressure, or below atmospheric pressure; and wherein each of the first sheet and the second sheet comprise a multi-layered film comprising: a core region comprising at least 20 gas barrier layers and a plurality of elastomeric layers, wherein the gas-barrier layers alternate with the elastomeric layers.

A blow-molded bottle for a carbonated beverage includes a threaded mouth, a cylindrical side wall, a bottom, and a standard fill capacity of 37.5 mL to 105 mL. The bottle is blow-molded from a laminated preform including an outer layer formed from polyethylene terephthalate, an intermediate gas barrier layer formed from a polyamide comprising a dicarboxylic acid component and a diamine component comprising m-xylylenediamine, and an inner layer comprising polyethylene terephthalate. The laminated preform may weigh from about 4 to 16 grams. The polyamide layer provides the bottle with excellent resistance to carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and nitrogen transmission and prevents the degradation of nutrients and flavors.

A multilayer thermoplastic article blended with hydrolytically unstable polymers and a material component for improved recyclability. The multilayer thermoplastic article having an inner layer being made of a thermoplastic material, an outer layer being made of a thermoplastic material, and an intermediate layer disposed between the inner layer and the outer layer. The intermediate layer is made of a blended material comprising 50 to 99 wt. % of a hydrolytically unstable polymer and 1 to 50 wt. % of the material component selected from the group consisting of an oxygen scavenger, an oxidizable organic polymer, a passive barrier material, Iron, Ascorbic Acid, and potassium sulfite.

There are provided rolls comprising an air and water barrier article having opposing first and second major surfaces, a pressure sensitive adhesive disposed on at least the first major surface of the article, and a liner having a first major surface that contacts the opposing second major surface of the article, and at least two adhesion modifying zones disposed between the second major surface of the article and the first major surface of the liner, wherein both of a first and second adhesion modifying zones contact the first major surface of the liner, and wherein the pressure sensitive adhesive contacts a second major surface of the liner when wound in the roll. There are also provided films made using these air and water barrier articles and building envelopes made using such films.

A blood storage container for the anaerobic storage of blood, having enhanced sealing methods and materials for the preservation of stored blood is provided.
