A multilayer laminate (100) comprises an oriented polyethylene film (102), a biaxially oriented film (104) adhered to the oriented polyethylene film (102), a barrier film (106) adhered to the biaxially oriented film (104), and a multilayer polyethylene (PE) film (108) adhered to the barrier film (106). The biaxially oriented film (104) comprises one or more components selected from biaxially oriented polyamide (BOPA), biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BOPET), and biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP).

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.

There is provided a resin composition, comprising an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer and a nonionic surfactant, wherein the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer has an ethylene unit content of 15 to 60 mol %, and a saponification degree of 90 mol % or more; the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer is contained as a major component; and the nonionic surfactant is contained at 3 to 400 ppm. The resin composition is produced by melt-kneading a mixture comprising the nonionic surfactant, water and the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer. By using the resin composition thus produced, a discharge amount during melt molding can be increased and a molded article with an excellent appearance can be provided.

The present invention is directed to packaging films comprising a coextruded film having alternating individual layers of glass and plastic. These packaging films may be used for flexible food and pharmaceutical packaging. These packaging films provide excellent oxygen and moisture barrier protection while having superior flexibility.

The present disclosure relates to hot-fillable articles made from multilayered thermoformable film and sheet comprising polyester and copolyester compositions which comprise residues of terephthalic acid, 1,4- cyclohexanedimethanol (CHDM), 2,2,4,4-tetramethyl-1,3-cyclobutanediol (TMCD), ethylene glycol (EG), and diethylene glycol (DEG), in certain compositional ranges having certain advantages and improved performance properties.

The shape-forming packaging material is a shape-forming packaging material including a heat resistant resin layer as an outer layer, a heat fusible resin layer as an inner layer, and a metal foil layer disposed between both the layers, and is configured such that a print improving resin layer is laminated on a further outer side of the heat resistant resin layer.

Product transport containers are disclosed. Such containers can provide one or more advantages compared to existing containers. For example, product transport containers described herein can maintain a product at a desired temperature for an extended period of time, including without the use of an active heating or cooling component. Such product transport containers described herein may also provide improved breathability, thermal insulation, and/or mechanical strength or dimensional stability. Such containers can include a plurality of walls defining an interior volume and a selectively openable side permitting movement of the product into and out of the interior volume of the container. The walls can be formed from a thermoformed non-woven fabric.

The invention relates to a metallocene complex according to formula (I), (I) wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently selected from H, an alkyl or an aryl group, wherein R.sub.3 is a C1-C10 alkyl group, wherein R′ is selected from H, an alkyl group, an aryl group and wherein different R′ substituents can be connected to form a ring structure and wherein B is a 1,2 phenylene bridging moiety, which can be optionally substituted, wherein Mt is selected from Ti, Zr and Hf, X is an anionic ligand, z is the number of X groups and equals the valence of Mt minus 2. The invention also relates to a catalyst comprising the reaction product of the metallocene complex and a cocatalyst. Further the invention relates to a (co)polymerisation process of olefinic monomers. ##STR00001##
