  • an ultraviolet absorption composition used for packaging and food and drink containers includes a polymer composition comprising a polyester material, at least one ultraviolet absorber and at least one optical brightener.
  • This composition provides considerable protection for its contents in the ultraviolet range of 290 nm to 400 nm, thereby offering effective screening from all wavelengths of solar radiation.
  • Some packaging polymers such as acrylics and vinyl esters exhibit >80% transmission in the ultraviolet range of 290 nm to 400 nm
  • polyesters such as poly(ethylene terephthalate) exhibit ⁇ 10% transmission in the 290 nm to 320 nm range, but show >80% transmission in the 320 to 400 nm range. It is desirable to limit the exposure of contents to less than 10% transmitted light of wavelengths from 290 nm to 390 nm.

  • composite materials that combines an optical brightener with an ultraviolet absorber/blocker to provide effective screening without adding significant color to the polymer composition.
  • Stilbene brighteners are preferred for this purpose because of their high absorption ability and compatibility with polyesters. This extended range of ultraviolet blocking over what can be achieved with ultraviolet absorbers alone is especially valuable in food and drink packaging applications where the contents of the packages need ultraviolet protection to prevent discoloration or development of undesirable flavors.
  • the pliable protective covers of the invention are perforated or non-perforated.
  • Protective covers have been used with great success by organizations like NASA, who demonstrated that reflective foil will reflect up to 97% of radiant heat.
  • Most materials such as, for example, masonry materials (e.g., brick, stone, clay, sand, silicon) and wood absorb about 90 percent of heat radiation, regardless of their color.
  • Aluminum foil reflects back virtually all of the heat radiation, but still absorbs heat by conduction unless there is trapped air, which acts as an insulator.
  • Infrared light lies between the visible and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum. Infrared light has a range of wavelengths that ranges from near infrared, medium infrared and far infrared. The near infrared light is closest in wavelength to visible light and "far infrared" is closer to the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. The longer, far infrared wavelengths are about the size of a pin head and the shorter, near infrared ones are the size of cells, or are microscopic. Far infrared waves are thermal. This type of infrared radiation is experienced every day in the form of heat. The heat from sunlight, fire, a radiator or a warm sidewalk is infrared.
  • Convection is the flow of heat through a bulk, macroscopic movement of matter from a hot region to a cool region, as opposed to the microscopic transfer of heat between atoms involved with conduction.
  • Heat energy transfers between a solid and a fluid when there is a temperature difference between the fluid and the solid. This is known as "convection heat transfer".
  • convection heat transfer cannot be ignored when there is a significant fluid motion around the solid.
  • the temperature of the solid due to an external field such as fluid buoyancy can induce a fluid motion. This is known as "natural convection” and it is a strong function of the temperature difference between the solid and the fluid.
  • the trapped air between the container and the protective shield ⁇ e.g., foil) allows little heat to transfer through the foil via convection. There is an energy lost as the heat travels through the air, resulting in the loss of heat on the foil.

  • the caps have variety of shapes and configurations. These shapes include, for example, acute (slightly pointed), acuminate (sharply pointed) truncate (squared or abruptly cut off), obtuse (rounded), oval, half circle, cuneate (wedge-shaped), cordate (heart-shaped), truncate, or oblique (asymmetrical, unequally sided), or a combination thereof, among others.
  • the margin of the cap is entire (a margin that is smooth without teeth or lobes), undulate (a margin that is wavy), serrate (a margin that has pointed teeth that are directed upward or inwards), among other type of margins.
  • disinfection of the liquid e.g, water
  • the disinfection is carried out by the use of an ultraviolet light source.
  • Ultraviolet disinfection uses a UV light source, which is enclosed, for example, in a transparent protective sleeve. It is mounted so that water can pass through a flow chamber, and UV rays are admitted and absorbed into the stream.
  • UV energy is absorbed by the reproductive mechanisms of bacteria and viruses, the genetic material (DNA/RNA) is rearranged and they can no longer reproduce. They are therefore considered dead and the risk of disease has been eliminated.
  • Ultraviolet devices are most effective when the water has already been partially treated, and only the cleanest water passes through the UV flow chamber.
  • Niagara* UV Purifiers use both sediments and carbon filters to clean the water prior to passing it through the UV light, to provide complete water quality solutions.
  • Beverage containers were made from a formulated blend of plastic resin, colorants, and other additives.
  • containers were made of polypropylene plastic.
  • Polypropylene is a resin made by polymerizing molecules of a propylene gas. Polypropylene and has many properties, which make it suitable for use in container manufacturing. This resin is light-weight, has fair abrasion resistance, good dimensional stability, and good surface hardness. It typically does not experience problems with stress cracking and it offers excellent chemical resistance at higher temperatures. Additionally, it has good thermoplastic properties. This means it can be melted, formed into various shapes and, upon reheating, can be melted and molded again. Another key attribute of this plastic is that it is safe for contact with food and beverage. Polypropylene is approved for direct contact with food and is used to make many types of food and drink packaging such as yogurt containers, cellophane-type wrapping, and various bottles and caps. b) Colorants
  • Colorants were added to the plastic to give the containers an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
  • the colorants used must be chosen from a list of pigments approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for food and/or drink contact. If the colorants are not food grade, they must be tested to make sure they will not leach out of the plastic and into the food or beverage. These pigments are typically supplied in powdered form, and a very small amount is required to impart bright colors. Through use of multiple colorants, multi-colored containers were made.
  • FDA Food and Drug Administration
  • the beverage containers or bottles have typically several shades of blues and greens, with a deep blue color at the lower end of the bottle that gradually becomes lighter as it travels to the waist of the bottle, from which point there is a transition from blue to blue/green that gradually becomes less intense as it travels to the neck of the bottle.
  • the neck and the mouth of the bottle exhibit a more intense shade of blue.
  • additional materials are added to the plastic formula to control the physical properties of the finished containers.
  • Plasticizers materials which improve the flexibility of the polypropylene
  • Antioxidants are used to reduce harmful interactions between the plastic and the oxygen in the air.
  • Other stabilizers include ultraviolet light filters, which shield the plastic from the effects of sunlight and prevent the radiation from adversely affecting the plastic.
  • inert fillers may be added to increase the bulk density of the plastic. All these materials must meet appropriate FDA requirements.
  • the polypropylene resin was first mixed with the plasticizers, colorants, antioxidants, stabilizers, and fillers. These materials, in powder form, are mixed in an extrusion compounder that mixes, melts, and forms beads of the blended plastic. The powders were mixed together and melted as they traveled down the barrel of the extruder. Special feeder screws were used to push the powder along its path. The molten plastic mixture was squeezed out through a series of small holes at the other end of the extruder. The holes shape the plastic into a pre-determined shape or strands. One compounding method ejects these strands into cooling water where a series of rotating knives cut them into short pellets. The pellet shape is preferred for subsequent molding operations because pellets are easier to move than a fine powder.
  • pellets are then collected and dried; they may be further blended or coated with other additives before packaging.
  • the finished plastic pellets are stored until they are ready to be molded into containers.
  • One, two or several extrusion rounds may be applied until the desirable final product is formed.
  • Containers with special design requirements may undergo additional processing using special molding equipment.
  • a series of grooves can be crimped into the containers in one or two step processes.
  • Quality of beverage containers is determined at a number of key steps during the compounding and extrusion phases of the manufacturing process as well as after extrusion are complete.
  • the mixing process must be monitored to ensure the formula components are blended in the proper ratios.
  • sample containers can be checked to make sure they achieve the proper dimensions. These samples can also be used to ensure manufacturing equipment is operating at the proper line speed.
  • plastic can flow as slowly as tar or as quickly as corn syrup. If the temperature is too cool, the viscosity increases dramatically, and the resin will not flow through the die. If the temperature is too high, thermal breakdown can occur. Over-heating can cause chemical changes in the resin, weakening the plastic and rendering it unsuitable for use in container manufacturing. Under certain circumstances, die buildup, caused by a mass of plastic, occurs. This plastic mass eventually breaks free, becomes attached to the molded container, and ruins its appearance. Unwanted chemical interactions can also affect the quality of the finished containers during the extrusion process. One problem is oxidation, which results from contact with air. This reaction can negatively impact the plastic. Similarly, the plastic interacts with any moisture that is present, while too little moisture can make certain plastic blends too brittle.
  • plastic technology There are a number of interesting new developments in plastic technology. First, new and improved plastic blends are constantly being evaluated. This is necessary to keep costs down, meet regulatory requirements, and improve quality. In addition, new processing and design methods are being developed. These can expand the food and beverage containers into new areas.
  • thermoliquid crystals change color when they come in contact with hot or cold gas or liquid.
  • Thermoliquid crystals which are special colorants that respond to changes in temperature, are added to the bottles to make them change color when they come in contact with hot or cold liquid or gas.
  • Other unique applications of this technology include ways of printing. This feature is achieved through the use of pigments in the printing ink whose colors change as the temperature changes.
  • the ink called “thermochromic” (temperature-dependent) ink, which has already made its way on cans of Coors Fine Light Beer now being sold in the U.K.
  • the bottles according to this aspect of the invention have a temperature-sensitive logo that turns from, for example, white to blue when the bottle is cold enough to drink.
