Process for detecting leaks in sealed packages

The present invention relates to a process for detecting a leak in a package. The process comprises preparing a package by covering at least a portion of an O2-sensitive product with a multilayer film comprising (i) a leak-indicator layer in which a O2-sensitive indicator is present throughout the leak-indicator layer; and (ii) an O2-barrier layer outward of the leak-indicator layer. A low O2-environment is provided within the package. The leak-indicator layer is then illuminated with light containing a wavelength absorbed by the O2-sensitive indicator, so that the O2-sensitive indicator produces an emission of radiation in an amount inversely proportional to a level of O2 present with the O2-sensitive indicator. Then the multilayer film is scanned while the O2-sensitive indicator is emitting radiation, the scanning being carried out by sensing and comparing the amount of radiation emitted from at least two different regions of the multilayer film.

Pull-tab sealing member with improved heat distribution for a container

A seal and method of manufacture is provided for sealing containers such as bottles, jars and the like. The seal (i.e., closure) is formed with a lower sheet-like structure having a non-foam, heat-distributing layer thereon. The lower structure includes a foil support layer and has a polymer layer, such as a PET layer disposed on its bottom surface. A heat-activated sealant layer is provided under the bottom surface of the PET layer to bond the seal to a container opening. The non-foam, heat-distributing layer is preferably a polyolefin film. Seals in accordance with preferred embodiments of the invention also include a top portion, which is only partially bonded (directly or indirectly) to the bottom portion, so as to leave a tab portion extending from the seal. The top portion is advantageously bonded from periphery to periphery of the bottom portion and at or slightly offset from the diameter (middle) of the bottom portion. The top portion is advantageously formed with polymer material, such as an ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) layer, having a layer of PET bonded on the top thereof. A release strip, which can have a release layer coated on the bottom thereof, is adhered to the top or bottom structures and used to prevent the tab from adhering to the lower structure.

Laminate panel for use in structrual components

A laminate panel especially well suited to help form an overhead stowage bin door on an aircraft, wherein the door includes a portion of a high contrast color advertising mural or message integrally formed therewith. The door includes a honeycomb support layer on which at least one fiberglass pre-preg layer is formed. A polyvinyl fluoride (PVF) film is used as a substrate for the color mural or message. A ultraviolet (UV) curable ink is deposited directly on the PVF film via an ink jet printing process that produces a high color density, high color contrast image. The PVF film in one form is a Tedlar® PVF film. The ink is cured virtually immediately after it is deposited on the PVF film. An additional layer of PVF film is then secured to a side of the printed-on PVF film opposite to that on which the ink is deposited via a layer of embossing resin to form the laminate panel. The laminate panel is then secured via a suitable adhesive to the fiberglass pre-preg and honeycomb support layer in a subsequent manufacturing step. The stowage bin door and process of making same enable a portion of a high color density, high contrast image, advertising mural or message to be integrally formed with the door.

Modified barrier layers in liners for container closures, capable of providing varible, controlled oxygen ingress

InactiveUS20090123766A1Shortened shelf-life issuesFacilitated DiffusionDomestic sealsBottlesMetal foilCork stopper
A liner for bottle caps and method for controlling the oxygen diffusion rate of closures. The oxygen barrier layer of a laminated cap liner or seal over cork stopper for a container closure, such as a metal foil or PVDC, is provided with perforations, formed, for example, by laser. Perforations permit an increased oxygen diffusion rate as compared to conventional barrier layers having imperforate metal foil, while permitting the liner or seal to retain a lower oxygen diffusion rate as compared to other conventional liners having no oxygen barrier. The oxygen diffusion rate can be further adjusted by changing the cumulative area of perforations in the metal foil of the barrier laminate, by varying the number of perforations, or by varying the size of the individual perforations.
