Definitions
- the present invention relates to that class of film articles which will for present purposes b'e termed the "free edge-sealed" film articles and to processes for making such articles.
- Each of the film portions in the single blend layer and balanced layer constructions handles and seals essentially in the fashion of a layer of a single material, with the seal strength of a seal between adjacent film portions being dependent generally on the same factors known to be implicated in determining the seal strength of free edge-sealed film portions comprised of a single material. These factors include whether the film portions to be joined are properly clamped, the gauge of the film portions to be joined, and the tension placed on the film portions.
- the present invention fulfills this desire by providing a free edge-sealed film article which -is comprised in general terms of a plurality of film ' portions and which contains a free edge-seal between two of the plurality of film portions. At least one of the two free edge-sealed film portions consists of a plurality of layers of diverse thermoplastic materials and is curled toward the other of the two film portions along at least a portion of the free-edge seal in the process of free-edge sealing the film portions together.
- Fig. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary cross-, sectional view of a typical bead as formed by a single layer film portion on contact with a hot sealing wire in one free edge sealing method.
- Fig. 4 is an enlarged fragmentary cross- sectional view of a typical hot wire, free edge seal between two single layer film portions of the type shown in Fig. 3.
- Fig.5 is an enlarged fragmentary cross- sectional view of the formation of the seal between two layered film portions constructed and stacked as in Figures 1 and 2, and sealed in the same fashion as the stacked single layer film portions in Fig. ..
- Fig. 6 is an enlarged fragmentary cross- sectional view of a completed free-edge seal between the two layered film portions in Fig. 5.
- a preferred construction 10 of the free edge-sealed film articles of the present invention is depicted.
- the film article is comprised of a plurality of film portions, with two of these film portions being the film portions 12 and 14 variously shown in Figures 1, 2, 5 and 6.
- the extrusion and drawing down in a conventional film manufacturing process of low density polyethylene(LDPE) can be seen to produce a level of residual or frozen-in stress in the resulting film layer due to the long side chains (comprising fifty or more carbon atoms) in the LDPE being bent and stretched along the backbone of the LDPE molecules.
- the extrusion of linear low density polyethylene(LLDPE) (with side chains of fifteen and fewer carbons, generally) can be seen to result in comparatively lower amounts of frozen-in stress in the resulting film layer.
- the beads formed by the layered film portions are predisposed to form a seal with a respective film portion by expanding or curling (in the direction of arrows 22) toward that film portion during the free-edge sealing process.
- the film portions 12 and 14 can individually contain or can each contain any number of layers of any number of diverse thermoplastic materials, so long as the cumulative effect of the layers within at least one of the two film portions 12 and 14 is the curling toward the other of the film portions along at least a portion of the resulting free-edge seal between film portions 12 and 14.
- a free edge- sealed film article constructed in accordance with the present invention may be comprised of a number also of other layered film portions to be free edge-sealed to a single layer film portion, or to a different layered film portion of the same or a different construction.
- a localized zone of weakness in a different portion of the seal can be achieved for example by altering the relative thicknesses of layers within a layered film portion so that it curls away from, rather than toward, the other film portion to which it is being sealed.
- seals between film portions may be made of different strengths, so that for instance a completely sealed plastic film container is preferentially ruptured along certain seals.
- a most preferred embodiment of the articles of the present invention will be as reclosable plastic containers of the type having two flexible opposed free edge-sealed sidewalls and an interlocking closure mechanism which is 5 operable for being interlocked over a predetermined length and which is connected to the two sidewalls adjacent an open end of the container.
- the most preferred 0 reclosable plastic containers of the present invention will be characterized by two opposed flexible sidewalls free edge-sealed along at least two edges, and an interlocking closure mechanism comprising a pair of opposed interlocking rib- and groove-type closure members which may be interlocked to substantially effect a sealing closure of the adjacent open end of the container.
- the opposed flexible sidewalls are preferably substantially identically constructed with each being from 1 to 4 mils (0.025 to 0.1 mm) in thickness and consisting of an inner layer 18 relative to the interior of the bag of low density polyethylene, and an outer layer 20 of a linear low density polyethylene having a density of from 0.917 to 0.935 grams per cubic centimeter.
- the outer LLDPE layer further, should preferably comprise from 35 to 65 percent, and most preferably from 45 to 55 percent of the thickness of a respective sidewall on the average.
- the most preferred reclosable plastic containers should preferably have at least one and most preferably both of the sidewalls curl toward the other sidewall on sealing the same together, so that the reclosable plastic containers leak to a significantly lesser extent when blown up like a balloon and submersed underwater than reclosable containers which are substantially identically constructed, blown up and submersed but which comprise sidewalls of the same diverse materials in a blend.
- the reclosable plastic containers of the present invention should preferably have less than 20 percent of the leaks, and most preferably less than 10 percent of the leaks seen in the same container but with blended rather than layered sidewalls.
- a preferred process for making a free edge- sealed film article such as described herein would involve coextruding layers of diverse thermoplastic materials in a continuous film web, while ordering and dimensioning the layers according to differing levels of frozen-in stress, for example, to create a tendency to curl in the assembled layers in a free edge-sealing process.
- a first portion from the film web could then in one embodiment be inverted in stacked relationship to a second, preferably substantially identically constructed portion of the same or a different film web as shown in Fig.1, and sealed thereto.
- the layered first and second portions would comprise adjacent portions of the same continuous film web, and the inverting and stacking of the first portion, with respect to the second would be accomplished .simply • by folding the film web over on itself intermediate the first and second portions.
- single layer film portions of an average thickness of about 1.7 mils were produced by blending 50 percent by weight of a low density polyethylene and 50 percent by weight of a linear low density polyethylene having a density of 0.935 grams per cubic centimeter, and extruding the substantially homogeneous blend in a conventional cast film process to a chill roll.
- These single layer film portions were observed microscopically to form a generally triangularly-shaped bead such as shown in Fig. 3 when exposed to a hot sealing wire.
- the slight upward tilt of the bead again typically reflects the direction of movement of the hot wire in a hot wire, free edge- sealing apparatus relative to the film portion.
- the single layer film portions when clamped and wire-sealed t ⁇ cet er on a manually controlled wire sealer produced a seal having the general appearance of two triangles joined along a side, such as shown in Figure 4.
- layered film portions having discrete layers 18 and 20 formed from "the same LDPE and LLDPE, respectively, were made by coextruding the LDPE and LLDPE layers 18 and 20 to a chill roll in the same cast film process as employed with the single blend layer.
- the LLDPE layer 20 comprised roughly 50 percent of the thickness of the coextruded film, on the average,
- a number of sets of reclosable plastic storage containers of the type having two opposed flexible sidewalls of an average thickness of 2.0 mils (0.05 mm), and a pair of opposed rib- and groove-type closure members were constructed by standard commercial methods and equipment.
- the sidewalls of a container in a particular set were substantially identically constructed to one another, and to sidewalls of the other containers in a set, by extruding or coextruding in a cast film process a low density polyethylene and/or a linear low density polyethylene having a density of 0.935 grams per cubic centimeter in various combinations.
- the resulting films were: 100 percent low density polyethylene (set "A”); a blend of 70 percent by weight of low density polyethylene and 30 percent by weight of the LLDPE (set"B”); a coextruded film with a LDPE layer comprising 70 percent of the film thickness and with a LLDPE layer comprising the remaining 30 percent of the film thickness (sef'C”); a coextruded film having a LDPE layer and a LLDPE layer which each comprised 50 percent of the thickness of the coextruded film (set "D”); a coextruded film having a LDPE layer comprising 30 percent of the film thickness and a LLDPE layer comprising the other 70 percent of the film thickness on average (set' ⁇ "); and 100 percent of the LLDPE (sef'F").
- Rib- and groove-type closure members were conventionally applied to the LDPE side of these films, if any, and the films folded over one another for wire sealing on a manually controlled wire sealer with the LDPE layers facing inwardly.
- One hundred containers were formed for each set by identically sealing the sidewalls together from the area of the fold completely through the closure members, so that the containers could thereafter be blown up, immersed and tested for leaks.
- closure members were oriented upside down with respect to the notch placed in the hold-down bar to accommodate the closure members.
- Sets B and C from Table 1 particularly suggest that the reclosable plastic containers employing layered sidewalls which curl toward one another in the process of being free-edge sealed (as in Set C) are substantially less likely to leak along the wire seals thereof, than containers conventionally made from the same materials in a substantially homogeneous blend (Set B).
