116 patents in this list
Updated:
Modern packaging materials face severe corrosion challenges when exposed to acidic contents, moisture, and environmental stresses. Testing shows that aluminum barrier layers can deteriorate within months when exposed to pH levels below 4 or above 9, while conventional polymer coatings often fail to prevent oxygen and water vapor transmission rates from climbing above 1.0 cm³/m²/day and 1.0 g/m²/day respectively.
The challenge lies in developing multi-layer barrier systems that maintain their protective properties while meeting food safety requirements and remaining cost-effective for mass production.
This page brings together solutions from recent research—including aluminum particle coatings with water-soluble polymer matrices, carboxy-modified polyolefin heat seal layers, cross-linkable acrylic copolymers, and targeted molecular weight polyester materials. These and other approaches focus on preventing barrier degradation while maintaining package integrity throughout its service life.
1. Laminated Film with Aluminum Particle-Coated Barrier Layer and Metal Alkoxide-Enhanced Polymer
TOPPAN HOLDINGS INC, 2024
Laminated film for packaging applications that prevents dissolution of the aluminum barrier layer when storing acidic or alkaline materials. The laminated film has a barrier layer with a coat layer of aluminum particles loaded with a water-soluble polymer and metal alkoxide or silane coupling agent. The barrier layer and adjacent layer are made of the same resin. This protects the aluminum particles from direct contact with the contents, preventing dissolution. The coating material fills gaps in the aluminum layer and shields it from contents infiltration.
2. Gas Barrier Laminate with Aluminum-Coated Paper and Carboxy Group-Modified Polyolefin Heat Seal Layer
TOPPAN HOLDINGS CO LTD, TOPPANホールディングス株式会社, 2024
Gas barrier laminate and packaging bags with improved water vapor barrier properties when using aluminum-coated paper. The laminate has a paper base, aluminum vapor deposition layer, and heat seal layer. The heat seal layer contains a polyolefin with carboxy groups. To prevent aluminum corrosion and water vapor barrier deterioration, the ratio of salt vs carboxy group peaks in the heat seal layer IR spectrum is 0.1 or less. This indicates minimal residual salt from the coating process. By avoiding excess salt formation, the heat seal layer remains neutral and suppresses aluminum corrosion. This prevents water vapor barrier degradation over time.
3. Laminated Films with Barrier Layer Incorporating Aluminum and Water-Soluble Polymer Composite Coating
TOPPAN HOLDINGS INC, 2024
Laminated films and packaging bags with improved resistance to dissolution of aluminum particle coatings when stored with acidic or basic contents for long periods. The laminated films have a barrier layer sandwiched between adjacent layers. The barrier layer has a coating layer of aluminum particles. But instead of just aluminum, the coating also contains a loading material composed of a water-soluble polymer like PVA, metal alkoxides, silane coupling agents, or their hydrolyzed forms. This loading material fills the gaps between the aluminum particles. It protects the aluminum particles from dissolution when acidic or basic contents infiltrate the laminated film and contact the coating layer.
4. Semiconductor Package with Modified Solder Interface Incorporating Specific Alloy Composition and Thin Film Stack Sequence
ทามูระ คอร์ปอเรชั่น, TAMURA CORP, 2024
A semiconductor packaging technique that improves reliability of power semiconductor packages, particularly for next generation devices like SiC, GaN, and Ga2O3.
