A tamper-evident container formed by thermoforming includes a tub having a bottom and a sidewall forming an interior volume. The container has a lid with an edge extending peripherally outward therefrom which is configured to mate with the tub edge to close the container. The lid edge has an inner portion and an outer portion with a perforated section therebetween. The perforated section extends continuously around the entire periphery of the lid, whereby the outer portion forms a tamper-evident seal removable from the inner portion for removing the lid from the tub. Texture elements are distributed around the outer portion of the lid edge which are configured to provide a visual indication of the presence of the tamper-evident seal. The tub edge is disposed beneath the outer portion of the lid edge and extends peripherally outward so that a substantial part of the outer portion of the lid edge does not extend below the tub edge in a vertical direction of the container in an upright orientation. A tab extends from the outer portion of the lid edge and below the tub edge in the vertical direction of the container.

Tamper-evident containers

Provided, among other things, is a breach or contamination indicating elastomeric article for indicating a breach or contamination by a selected chemical or group of chemicals, the article having an exterior and interior and comprising: (1) an interior elastomeric layer selected to resist permeation by the selected chemical(s); and (2) exterior thereto, a contiguous or dis-contiguous first indicating layer comprising a dye or pigment and an opacifying agent, the dye or pigment providing the layer with color, the first indicating layer changing color and/or opacity when contacted with a selected chemical such regions of the article where the layer is so contacted contrast with non-contacted regions. A subsequent, interior layer can provide a safety buffer allowing for removal or disposal prior to any potential for harm. A second, interior indicating layer can be used to make the warning louder when a serious breach is occurring.

Breach or contamination indicating article, optionally with pre-warning indicator

A tamper-evident container formed by thermoforming includes a tub having a bottom and a sidewall forming an interior volume. The container has a lid with an edge extending peripherally outward therefrom which is configured to mate with the tub edge to close the container. The lid edge has an inner portion and an outer portion with a perforated section therebetween. The perforated section extends continuously around the entire periphery of the lid, whereby the outer portion forms a tamper-evident seal removable from the inner portion for removing the lid from the tub.

A tamper evident package for food products is provided having a tray and a lid, which may or may not be permanently attached to each other, and includes a plastic tray for receiving a plastic lid for mating the lid and the tray, wherein the plastic lid is integrally formed with a plastic tear away band at the periphery of the lid, and a perforated section on the lid removably connects the lid and the tear away band in order to tear away the band from the lid.

A thermoplastic resin composition containing a polyetherimide resin, an aromatic polycarbonate resin and a functionalized polysiloxane polymer exhibits flame retarding properties.

Flame retardant polyetherimide resin composition with polycarbonate and polysiloxane

Visually clear thermoplastic resin compositions include a polyetherimide resin, a first polyester resin and a second polyester resin, wherein from 50 to 100 mole percent of the structural units of the first polyester resin include an alicyclic hydrocarbon radical as the diol residue of the structural unit, and wherein less than 50 mole percent of the structural units of the second polyester include an alicyclic hydrocarbon radical as the diol residue of the structural unit, exhibit resistance to elevated temperature and improved impact properties.

Polyetherimide resin/polyester resin blends

The present invention is directed to a unique poly(arylene ether)/polyetherimide composition having improved impact strength, as well as other improved mechanical and physical properties.
