Zeolite In Packaging Film

View page
US Patent:
6365245, Apr 2, 2002
Filed:
May 7, 1998
Appl. No.:
09/074058
Inventors:
Thomas A. Blinka - Columbia MD
Frank B. Edwards - Simpsonville SC
Nathanael R. Miranda - Spartanburg SC
Drew V. Speer - Columbia MD
Jeffrey A. Thomas - Moore SC
Assignee:
Cryovac, Inc. - Duncan SC
International Classification:
B32B 2704
US Classification:
428 357, 2521816, 25218821, 25218828, 4283073, 522 79, 522 81, 522 83
Abstract:
An article of manufacture includes an oxygen scavenger and a zeolite. The article can be in the form of e. g. a film or sealing compound. A package can be made from the article for containing an oxygen-sensitive article such as food. The zeolite reduces migration of odor causing by-products of the oxygen scavenging process. A method of making an article of manufacture having reduced migration of by-products of an oxygen scavenging reaction includes providing an article including an oxygen scavenger and a zeolite; and exposing the article to actinic radiation.

Method And Apparatus For Triggering Oxygen Scavenging Composition With Pulsed Light

View page
US Patent:
6449923, Sep 17, 2002
Filed:
Aug 13, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/230776
Inventors:
Melania M. Craddock - Greenville SC
William A. Feehley - Kingsville MD
Nathanael R. Miranda - Spartanburg SC
Drew V. Speer - Simpsonville SC
Jeffrey Thomas - White Plains NY
Assignee:
Cryovac, Inc. - Duncan SC
International Classification:
B65B 2900
US Classification:
53400, 53141, 25218828
Abstract:
A method for triggering an oxygen scavenging composition for use in packaging an oxygen sensitive article includes the steps of providing an oxygen scavenging composition including an oxidizable organic compound, and exposing the composition to a source of pulsed light wherein each pulse has a duration of between 1 microsecond and 1 millisecond, a frequency of between 0. 1 to 100 Hertz, and an intensity of at least 350 mW/cm so that each pulse provides the composition with a dose of UV light of at least 0. 1 J/cm so as to provide a triggered composition. The triggered composition can be applied to an article so as to provide an oxygen scavenging package. An apparatus and packaging system are also disclosed.

View page
US Patent:
6464896, Oct 15, 2002
Filed:
Oct 24, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/695120
Inventors:
Drew Ve Speer - Columbia MD
Thomas Andrew Blinka - Columbia MD
Michael Lee Becraft - Woodstock MD
Charles Robert Morgan - Brookeville MD
Assignee:
Cryovac, Inc. - Duncan SC
International Classification:
C09K 1502
US Classification:
25218828, 2521813, 2521861, 252383, 526 90, 526335, 2065242, 502402, 502 49, 4284111
Abstract:
An improved composition and a method of scavenging oxygen using said composition which comprise oxidizable organic compounds, transition metal catalysts in combination with certain photoinitiators is disclosed. The method comprises initiating scavenging by exposing the composition to UV radiation. The present composition uses certain defined benzophenone derivatives which maintain effectiveness of photoinitiation while providing reduced migration of the photoinitiator from the resin matrix.
