Abstract

Abstract The invention is an improved multiple layer packaging sheet material which can be formed into closed and sealed packages suitable for holding products containing substantial fractions of cyanoacrylate. The invention depends on the positioning of high density polyethylene in direct contact with the cyanoacrylate-type product, and positioning a primer on the other side of the high density polyethylene. Preferred embodiments of the sheet structure include additional layers to provide barrier and abuse resistance properties, and the necessary adhesive materials to hold the various layers of the structure together with good adhesion. Additional layers are contemplated. The sheet structure can be formed into a package which positions the high density polyethylene adjacent the cyanoacrylate product, and between it and the other layers at all locations of contact between the cyanoacrylate product and the packaging sheet material.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim 176 words
A package comprising a packaging sheet material and a product therein, said product including a substantial fraction of cyanoacrylate, said packaging sheet material comprising: (a) a first layer of high density polyethylene; (b) a second layer, the composition of said second layer being chosen from the group consisting of polymers and adhesives; and (c) a third primer layer of polyethylene imine, said third layer being between said first and second layers, said first layer being disposed toward the inside of said package, and wherein, when said composition of said second layer is polymeric, said second layer is protective of said primer layer, and wherein, when said composition of said second layer is an adhesive, said second layer has two opposing surfaces and adheres a fourth layer to said sheet structure on the one of said surafaces of said second layer which is opposite said primer layer, all the layers of said sheet material being firmly adhered to each other, said package being configured such that no edge of said sheet material is exposed to said product.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 176 words
A package comprising a packaging sheet material and a product therein, said product including a substantial fraction of cyanoacrylate, said packaging sheet material comprising: (a) a first layer of high density polyethylene; (b) a second layer, the composition of said second layer being chosen from the group consisting of polymers and adhesives; and (c) a third primer layer of polyethylene imine, said third layer being between said first and second layers, said first layer being disposed toward the inside of said package, and wherein, when said composition of said second layer is polymeric, said second layer is protective of said primer layer, and wherein, when said composition of said second layer is an adhesive, said second layer has two opposing surfaces and adheres a fourth layer to said sheet structure on the one of said surafaces of said second layer which is opposite said primer layer, all the layers of said sheet material being firmly adhered to each other, said package being configured such that no edge of said sheet material is exposed to said product.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 61 words
A package as in claim 1, said package having been formed by: (a) bringing portions of said sheet material into face to face relationship with each other, defining a common space between said portions; and (b) forming seals between said facing portions about said space to define an enclosure therebetween, and an opening therebetween for introduction of product into said enclosure.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 27 words
A package as in claim 1 wherein said first layer of high density polyethylene has a narrow molecular weight distribution and is substantially free of amine components.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 27 words
A package as in claim 1 wherein said polyethylene imine in said third layer is derived from a liquid solution containing a cross-linking type of polyethylene imine.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 27 words
A package as in claim 3 wherein said polyethylene imine in said third layer is derived from a liquid solution containing a cross-linking type of polyethylene imine.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 44 words
A package as in claim 3 wherein the composition of said second layer is ethylene acrylic acid copolymer, wherein said sheet material further comprises a fourth layer of metal foil and wherein said second layer is between said third layer and said fourth layer.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 44 words
A package as in claim 4 wherein the composition of said second layer is ethylene acrylic acid copolymer, wherein said sheet material further comprises a fourth layer of metal foil and wherein said second layer is between said third layer and said fourth layer.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 48 words
A package as in claim 7 wherein said third layer of polyethylene imine is derived from a liquid containing polyethylene imine of the cross-linking type, and including a fifth layer of ethylene acrylic acid copolymer adhering a sixth layer of polyethylene to said fourth layer of metal foil.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 88 words
A package comprising a packaging sheet material and a product enclosed therein, said product including a substantial fraction of cyanoacrylate-type component, said packaging sheet material comprising: (a) a first layer of polyethylene having a resin density of at least 0.950, having a narrow molecular weight distribution, and being substantially free of amine components; (b) a second layer of ethylene acrylic acid copolymer; (c) a third primer layer, said third layer including polyethylene imine and reacted components from said cyanoacrylate product; and (d) a fourth layer of metal foil,
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 88 words
A package comprising a packaging sheet material and a product enclosed therein, said product including a substantial fraction of cyanoacrylate-type component, said packaging sheet material comprising: (a) a first layer of polyethylene having a resin density of at least 0.950, having a narrow molecular weight distribution, and being substantially free of amine components; (b) a second layer of ethylene acrylic acid copolymer; (c) a third primer layer, said third layer including polyethylene imine and reacted components from said cyanoacrylate product; and (d) a fourth layer of metal foil,
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 61 words
said third layer being between said first and second layers, said second layer being between said third and fourth layers, said first layer being disposed toward the inside of said package, all the layers of said sheet material being firmly adhered to each other, said package being configured such that no edge of said sheet material is exposed to said product.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 61 words
said third layer being between said first and second layers, said second layer being between said third and fourth layers, said first layer being disposed toward the inside of said package, all the layers of said sheet material being firmly adhered to each other, said package being configured such that no edge of said sheet material is exposed to said product.
