A gas barrier laminate (including a substrate layer containing a polyolefin, a metal oxide layer, and a gas barrier cover layer in this order. The gas barrier cover layer contains a silicon alkoxide or a hydrolysate thereof and a water-soluble polymer, and a content ratio a/b between a content of silicon atoms of the silicon alkoxide or a hydrolysate thereof (mass part a) and a content of the water-soluble polymer (mass part b) is 3/97 or more and 45/55 or less in mass ratio.

A tube for receiving a liquid or pasty product comprising a multilayered tube jacket, the tube jacket having one or more outer layer(s) made of polyolefin, one or more inner layer(s) made of polyolefin and a barrier layer arranged between the outer layer(s) and the inner layer(s), wherein the barrier layer consists of an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH), and wherein the ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer of the barrier layer has an ethylene content of <35 mol % and the thickness of the barrier layer is ≤25 μm.

A blow mold system including a mold body and a base portion. The mold body includes a central bore extending from a first end of the mold body to a second end of the mold body along a longitudinal axis. The first end is configured to receive a mold preform. The base portion includes a recess, and the base portion is arranged at the second end of the mold body such that the central bore and recess define a blow mold cavity in which a container may be formed from the mold preform. In embodiments, the blow mold system has at least two interchangeable base portions that allow for containers with differently-sized or differently-shaped necks to be formed.

A laminate tube with an invisible longitudinal overlapped side seam formed from overlap welding an edge of one margin of a laminate sheet comprising an outer plastic layer (A), a barrier layer (B), and an inner plastic layer (C) of the same material type as the outer plastic layer (A) to the other edge of the opposite margin of the laminate sheet, such that an inner surface of the laminate tube has a hump in a overlapped region, while an outer surface of the laminate tube is smooth without a hump in the overlapped region; and a process for manufacturing the laminate tube by a laminate tube manufacturing machine. The laminate permits fracture-proof welding of longitudinal margins of said laminate to give a continuous tube which is suitable for manufacturing of high-quality plastic tubes, high-quality plastic bags and the like.

Proposed is a tube container in which generation of scratches on a surface of the container can be prevented. The present tube container (100) includes a tube body (30) that defines a container space (S) for contents and that has a laminated structure. The tube body (30) includes: a cylindrical laminated sheet (31) in which both edges (31a, 31b) of the sheet are butted together; and a reinforcing tape portion (reinforcing tape 35) provided on an inner surface of the laminated sheet (31) along a butted portion (32). The laminate sheet (31) includes a high hardness protective layer (18) constituting an outermost layer, an outer polyethylene-based resin layer (21) formed on an inner side of the high hardness protective layer (18), and an inner polyethylene-based resin layer (11) constituting an innermost layer, and the high hardness protective layer (18) has a pencil hardness of 3B or greater than 3B. The reinforcing tape portion (35) includes a polyethylene-based resin layer (outer reinforcing resin layer 59) as an outermost layer abutting against the inner surface of the laminate sheet (31).

A cartridge for a medium to be dispensed includes a rigid head part having a dispensing outlet and a flexible film forming a cartridge wall. The film bounds a cartridge chamber for the medium and extends partially in a longitudinal direction of the cartridge. The head part includes a collar surrounding the dispensing outlet in a radially outer region of the head part, and the collar extends in the longitudinal direction and has an inner circumferential surface. A front end of the film is sealingly and non-releasably connected to the inner circumferential surface of the collar. Attachment of the film to the inner circumferential surface of the head part is at a contact surface that is different from the outer surface of the film.
