A flexible package having an inner sheet having a first surface and a second surface. The flexible package has an article reservoir for accepting an article to be shipped and one or more expansion chambers. The expansion chambers can be inflated or otherwise expanded to provide structure to the flexible package and to protect the article in the article reservoir.

Shaped flexible shipping package and method of making

The present invention generally relates to a method of reducing contamination from plastics. The resulting purer plastic can be used in demanding applications.

Reducing surface and bulk contamination in plastic

A film layer having a micro-textured surface is provided. The film layer has a continuous phase with one or more thermoplastic polymers, wherein at least one of the thermoplastic polymers is a low-modulus polymer having a 2% secant modulus of less than or equal to 140 MPa, and the film has from 10 wt % to 100 wt % of the low modulus thermoplastic polymer. The film layer also has a discrete phase with from 5 wt % to 45 wt % of a thermoplastic starch.

Microtextured films with improved tactile impression and/or reduced noise perception

An absorbent article includes a chassis comprising a topsheet, a backsheet, and an absorbent core disposed between the topsheet and backsheet. The absorbent core contains superabsorbent polymer material and about 10% or less by weight of cellulosic fibers. The backsheet comprises a film comprising a plurality of micropores. The film comprises odor absorbing material disposed in one or more of the micropores.

Absorbent article having odor absorbing material

The present disclosure relates to water-soluble unit dose articles made from a combination of water-soluble films and containing household care compositions that are at least partially enclosed by the water-soluble films in at least one compartment.

Water-soluble unit dose articles made from extruded films and containing household care compositions and methods for making the same

A multi-layered film comprising at least 3 layers is provided. When a 5 layered film is provided, the film includes a first outer layer having 80% to 100% by weight of one or more polyolefins, a first tie layer having from 5% to 100% by weight of the first tie layer of one or more functionalized polyolefins, a core layer having from 75% to 100% by weight of the core layer of polylactic acid, a second tie layer having from 5% to 100% by weight of second tie layer of one or more functionalized polyolefins, and a second outer layer having from 80% to 100% by weight of the second outer layer of one or more polyolefins, wherein the first tie layer layer is disposed between the first outer layer and the core layer the second tie layer is disposed between the core layer and the second outer layer.

Multi-layered thermoplastic polymer films comprising polylactic acid

An improved multilayer polymer film is disclosed. The film may include a first skin layer, a second skin layer, and an intermediate layer between the skin layers. The first, second and intermediate layers may be formed of respective first, second and intermediate polymer compositions. Each layer may have distributed therein particles of titanium dioxide to a weight content of from 6 percent to 14 percent. One or both the second skin layer and the intermediate layer may have distributed therein non-white pigment particles to a weight content of from 0.050 percent to 0.15 percent of such layer(s). The contents and distribution among layers of the pigments may provide for relatively disproportionate improvement of opacity while preserving a neutral white color surface to receive ink-printing, enabling high conformity of printed colors with target colors, and preserving weldability of the film to itself.

Heat sealable multilayer packaging film with improved opacity

A method for making apertures in a precursor web using a forming apparatus is described herein. The precursor web comprises a film layer and a nonwoven layer having molecular orientation and the forming apparatus comprises an arrangement of teeth. The forming apparatus heats and stretches the precursor web forming apertures therein.

Method for making an apertured web

A multi-layered film comprising at least 3, preferably at least 5, layers is provided. In the case of a 5 layered film, the multi-layer film includes a first outer layer having 80% to 100% by weight of one or more polyolefins, a first tie layer having from 5% to 100% by weight of the first tie layer of one or more functionalized polyolefins, a core layer having from 75% to 100% by weight of the core layer of polylactic acid, a second tie layer having from 5% to 100% by weight of second tie layer of one or more functionalized polyolefins, and a second outer layer having from 80% to 100% by weight of the second outer layer of one or more polyolefins, and wherein the first tie layer layer is disposed between the first outer layer and the core layer the second tie layer is disposed between the core layer and the second outer layer.

Multi-layered thermoplastic polymer films comprising biopolymer

The present invention relates to polymeric compositions comprising polylactic acid (PLA), polyolefin, and, optionally, a non reactive melt strength enhancing additive (NRMSEA), as well as articles molded from the compositions and a method of making the compositions.

Polymeric compositions and articles comprising polylactic acid and polyolefin

A method for making apertures in a precursor web using a forming apparatus is provided where the web comprises a film having molecular orientation and the forming apparatus comprises an arrangement of teeth. The orientation of the arrangement of teeth and the molecular orientation of the film are predetermined and modified to provide a relative angle between the orientation of the teeth and the molecular orientation of the film. Apertures formed in the precursor web material have a length and width exhibiting a minimal aspect ratio.
