Description

Foil wrapped medium portion

The present invention is in the field of foil wrapped medium portions. This area has been working for decades and is still important as there is a tendency to show more and more products in pre-portioned foil packaging. On the one hand, this is intended to relieve the consumer of tedious portioning and, on the other hand, of avoiding the consumer coming into contact with the possibly irritating or even toxic medium portions.

Developments in recent times increasingly focused on the optical design of the medium portions or the middle portion recipe. This is due, in particular, to the fact that well-established films have been available for film packaging for years, which are suitable for packaging alkaline and / or acidic medium portions. In particular, the Monosol M8630 film has distinguished itself, which has been regarded by experts for years as the film of choice for the packaging of alkaline medium portions. Because of the generally accepted good properties, it has developed in the art that faster soluble and more stable films are not available. This is also because the Monosol M8630 datasheet gives particularly good physical properties of the M8630 film, such as solubility / disintegration at 10 ° C. For years, therefore, the expert circles no longer had any reason to concern themselves with the optimization of foil packaging.

The inventors of the present invention have now surprisingly found that films are obtainable which, as part of the film packaging in distilled water at a water temperature of 10 ° C., have a shorter disintegration time and / or a shorter dissolution time compared to a mono-solvent. 8630 film-wrapped medium portion, all other things being equal.

Thus, inventors could now solve the problem of providing cold water-soluble film-wrapped center portions over long storage periods.

Therefore, the present film-wrapped center portion, in particular washing, cleaning and / or care product portion, with at least one compartment for receiving the agent, wherein the at least one compartment is formed by at least one film lid part and at least one film pot part, wherein the film lid part is formed from a first non-plastically deformed film and the film pot portion is formed from a second by thermoforming thermoforming and / or by vacuum plastically deformed film, the second film is water-soluble and alkali-stable and absorbs with the plastically deformed portion of the film center portion, wherein the second film, preferably the film package, measured in distilled Water at a water temperature of 10 ° C, a shorter Disintegrationszeit and / or a shorter dissolution time compared to a mono-sol M-8630 film-wrapped medium portion, all other things being equal.

Surprisingly, it has also been found that foil-packaged central portions, in particular washing, cleaning and / or care agent portions, can be provided with one or more separate compartments which have considerable performance advantages over conventional foil-packed central portions or packaged preparations , in particular with regard to the dissolution rate and / or the disintegration time.

It is essential for the present invention that at least one film of the film receiving packaging, namely the pot film, is thermally and / or plastically deformed by means of deep-drawing process.

Essentially for the purposes of this invention has the meaning of greater than 50%.

By the term "under otherwise identical conditions" it is meant that the foil-packaged center portion according to the invention was produced under identical conditions as the center portion used for comparison, with the only difference that instead of the film according to the invention the comparative film, for example a mono-sol 8630 film or equivalent, same thickness, width and length is used.

Plastically deformed in the sense of this invention has the meaning that a ready-to-use film was thermally and / or vacuum-deformed to absorb at least one central portion while substantially maintaining the deformation while increasing the initial area of the film.

The disintegration time and / or dissolution time, unless otherwise stated, refers to a measurement in distilled water at a water temperature of 10 ° C.

In some embodiments, the foil wrapped center portion is characterized in that the second foil

has a Young's modulus in the range of 20-40 N / mm 2, preferably 28-35 N / mm 2, even more preferably 30-34 N / mm 2, and / or

Tensile Strength at Break of 20-40 N / mm 2, preferably 32-39 N / mm 2, more preferably 33-36 N / mm 2, and / or - has an elongation at break of 300-500%, preferably 350-450%, even more preferably 360-420%, and / or

- Has a moisture content of 0.5-10 wt.%, Preferably 1-8 wt .-%, even more preferably from 4 to 7 wt .-%, and / or

- A thickness, based on the starting film in the non-plastically deformed state of 50-130 μιη, preferably from 60-1 10 μιη, more preferably from 70-100 μιη, and / or

- Based on the length of the corresponding starting film before plastic deformation, by at least 5% to 400%, preferably by at least 10% to 100%, preferably by at least 15% to 50%, more preferably by 20% to 40% and particularly preferably 90% to 125% plastically deformed.

In various embodiments, the foil-packed center portion is characterized in that the first foil is connected in a liquid-tight manner to the second foil with at least one circumferential sealed seam.

In various embodiments, the foil-packed center portion is characterized in that

- The entire film packaging is water soluble and / or

- the foil-packed medium portion contains the agent in at least 2 compartments.

In various embodiments, the foil-packed center portion is characterized in that the foil packaging has at least 2, 3, 4 or more compartments, which in particular contain the agent in different proportions by weight and / or different composition.

In various embodiments, the foil-packed center portion is characterized in that the foil packaging has at least 2 compartments, wherein

the first and the second compartment have liquid and / or gel-medium portions, or the first and second compartments have a fixed center portion or

- The first compartment fixed center portion and the second compartment liquid or gel medium portion have.

In a further aspect, the present invention relates to methods for producing a foil-packed center portion according to the invention, the method comprising producing a foil cup part and a foil lid part,

wherein the film cover part is formed from a first non-plastically deformed film and the film pot part is formed from a second thermoforming and / or vacuum-plastically deformed film by means of thermoforming, wherein the second film is water-soluble and alkali-stable and absorbs medium portion with the plastically deformed part of the film, wherein the second film, preferably the film packaging, measured in distilled water at a water temperature of 10 ° C, a shorter Disintegrationszeit and / or a shorter dissolution time in Compared to a means using a Mono-Sol M-8630 film-wrapped medium portion, all other things being equal, has.

In various embodiments of the method for producing a film-wrapped central portion, the agent is filled vertically and / or horizontally, preferably horizontally, into the container.

In various embodiments of the method for producing a film-packed central portion, at least one sealing film seam, preferably a circumferential sealing film seam, of the film package is formed by means of pressure and / or moisture, preferably by contacting at least two films.

In a third aspect, the invention relates to the use of the film-wrapped composition according to the invention as detergents, cleaners, conditioners, hair treatment agents, hair dyes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, food, cosmetics, fertilizers, building materials, adhesives, bleach, disinfectants and / or fragrancing agents. The washing and cleaning agents are very particularly preferred.

In a particular embodiment, the first and the second film have an identical composition. It is quite preferable if all the films of the film-packed middle portion are a film according to the invention. This has the advantage that the machines in the manufacturing process only need to be adapted to a type of film. In addition, embodiments are then possible in which the Folienverpacktung disintegrated in all directions with the same speed.

Surprisingly, the inventors have found that the thermoformed by vacuum forming process by vacuum and / or heat formed film, which represents the pot film a film-wrapped center portion, ensures that the film-wrapped center portion is faster soluble and above all storage-stable.

Furthermore, the inventors have surprisingly found that the Monosol M8630 film behaves significantly worse in a film package, as would be assumed by the data sheet specifications. The dissolution and disintegration times at 10 ° C are significantly longer than the data sheet shows. The plastic deformation of the pot film of the film package and the fact that a faster dissolving film has been found have a synergistic effect in a film-wrapped medium portion according to the invention.

The foil-packed central portions according to the invention are in fact surprisingly storage-stable with persistently low disintegration / dissolution times. Shelf life in this context means that both the film packaging and the agent contained remain stable in their properties.

As the data in Annex II and Annex III show, the plastic deformation ensures that pouches remain stable under 12-week stress conditions (Sommer program) and are subsequently water-soluble. Furthermore, it is found that the water-solubility of the pouches after storage test in comparison with Monosol M8630 pouches is still improved using the films according to the invention (Annex II, M4-M6 and S4-S6). The same result can be seen when looking at the film residues (Annex III). When incubated at room temperature, the plastically deformed Monosol M8630 pouch still shows acceptable results. At higher temperatures, however, significantly higher film residues occur. In comparison, the film of the invention shows both at room temperature and elevated temperature significantly less film residues in the textile test (Annex III, see. 20 ° C and summer program for M8630 and Hi Selon Pouch). It is thus surprising that the foil-packed central portions according to the invention are more stable in storage than comparable M8630 foil-packed central portions.

Furthermore, it has been observed that when using a double-chamber pouch according to the invention, the opening times of the individual chambers of the pouch are within a narrower time window. Therefore, the foil-packed medium portion according to the invention makes it possible to better control the controlled release of the middle portion (Annex II).

When using a foil-packed middle portion with 2 or more compartments, it is thus possible to set both a simultaneous and a time-delayed release of the agents of the various compartments.

In addition, the inventors have surprisingly found that the adjustment of the plastic deformation based on the length of the corresponding starting film is a particularly suitable measure of the good setting of films according to the invention. The determination of the plastic deformation is defined in Annex IV.

The protocol for determining the solubility of a film is defined in Annex I. The method for the determination of film residues is defined in Annex III.

The thermoforming process is described in Annex II and III.

The foil-packed central portions according to the invention exhibit significantly less film residues on the laundry at low washing temperatures than e.g. Film packaging consisting of the M8630 film from Monosol.

Mono-Sol M-8630 film is available from Monosol, 1701 County Road; Portage, 46368 Indiana, USA (http://www.monosol.com). Mono-Sol M-8630 film is a polyvinyl alcohol-based alkali-stable water-soluble film.

According to the product information from Monosol, the Mono-Sol M-8630 is stable against alkaline hydrolysis up to a pH of 14. Mono-Sol M-8630 also has good cold water solubility.

According to the product information from Monosol, a 38 μm mono-sol M-8630 film at 23 C and a relative humidity of 50% (RH) has a tensile strength according to ASTM D882, ISO 527 of 4000 psi; an E modulus, 100% according to ASTM D882, ISO 527 of 1500 psi; an elongation at break according to ASTM D882, ISO 557 of 465%; a tear strength according to ASTM D1922, ISO 6383 of 1050 g / mil; and an impact strength according to ASTM D1709, DIN 53443 of 800 g.

Insofar as Annexes l-IV do not provide more specific information, the protocols mentioned in the previous paragraph shall apply to the determination of technical parameters.

According to the product information of the company Monosol has a 38 μιη Mono-Sol M-8630 film in distilled water at 10 C after MSTM 205 a disintegration time of 6 seconds and a dissolution time of 20 seconds.

The film package or at least one film, in particular the second film of the film package may have plasticizers. The total amount of plasticizer may range from about 1 wt% to 40 wt%, from 10 wt% to 40 wt%, from 15 wt% to 35 wt%, or from 20% to 30% by weight, for example 25% by weight.

In certain embodiments, the second film comprises a plasticizer selected from the list consisting of glycerol, mono- and diglycol, trimethylolpropane, a mono-, di- or triester of glycerol with carboxylic acids, formamide, acetamide, N, N-dimethylformamide , N, N-dimethylacetamide, sugars, sugar alcohols and mixtures thereof. The sugar will be selected from the group consisting of mono- and disaccharides, wherein the sugar moieties are each selected from the group consisting of triose, tetrose, pentose, hexose, heptose, octose, nonose, decose and dodecose. The disaccharide may be a homodisaccharide of the above monosaccharide or a heterodisaccharide of said monosaccharides. The sugar alcohols are selected from the group consisting of Etrytol (especially erythritol), Pentit (especially pentaerythritol, arabitol, ribitol and xylitol), hexitol (especially sorbitol, dulcitol and mannitol), heptitol, octitol, nonitol, decitol and dodecitol.

According to one embodiment, the film has the following composition:

0 wt .-% to 20 wt .-% glycerol, preferably 10 wt .-% to 15 wt .-% glycerol, more preferably 13 wt .-% to 14 wt .-% glycerol; and or

From 0% to 10% by weight of sorbitol, preferably from 1% to 9% by weight of sorbitol, more preferably from 3% to 7% by weight of sorbitol; and or

0 wt .-% to 10 wt .-% trimethylolpropane (TMP), preferably 0.5 wt .-% to 4 wt .-% trimethylolpropane, particularly preferably 1 wt .-% to 3 wt .-% trimethylolpropane.

Suitable films for producing the film packaging according to the invention are preferably based on a polyvinyl alcohol whose molecular weight is in the range from 10,000 to 1, 000,000 gmol ^-1 , preferably from 20,000 to 500,000 gmol ^-1 , particularly preferably from 30,000 to 100,000 gmol ^-1 and in particular from 40,000 to 80,000 gmol ^-1 .

It is preferred if at least one film of the film packaging according to the invention comprises a polyvinyl alcohol whose degree of hydrolysis makes up 70 to 100 mol%, preferably 80 to 90 mol%, particularly preferably 81 to 89 mol% and in particular 82 to 88 mol%. In other embodiments, the degree of polyvinyl alcohol hydrolysis is at least 85 mole%, preferably at least 88 mole%, even more preferably at least 90 mole%, most preferably at least 98 mole%.

Polyvinyl alcohol is strictly speaking a copolymer of vinyl alcohol and vinyl acetate, the monomer ratio in the polymer depending on the degree of hydrolysis of the vinyl acetate. However, in the nomenclature used herein, the polyvinyl alcohol polymer is considered a homopolymer. The term copolymer or terpolymer is used when in addition to the vinyl alcohol and vinyl acetate other monomers are included in the polymer. When the polyvinyl alcohol hydrolysis degree is 85 mol% or more, preferably 88 mol% or more, still more preferably 90 mol% or more, the polyvinyl alcohol is preferably a copolymer.

The term polyvinyl alcohol includes mixtures of polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinyl alcohol copolymers. Copolymers may include 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid (AMPS). Also included are terpolymers of polyvinyl alcohol. Preferably, the polyvinyl alcohol is a copolymer comprising AMPS.

When copolymers or terpolymers are used, the degree of polyvinyl alcohol hydrolysis is usually at least 90 mol%. Preferably, the degree of hydrolysis is at least 95 mole%, more preferably at least 98 mole%.

Also, the polyvinyl alcohol may comprise a mixture of polyvinyl alcohol and a monomer selected from the list consisting of 2-aerylamido-1-methylpropanesulfonic acid, 2-methylacrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid and alkali metal salts thereof.

The content of sulfonic acid group units in the modified polyvinyl alcohol is preferably 0.1 to 20 mol%, more preferably 0.5 to 10 mol%, most preferably 1 to 5 mol%.

The mechanical properties as a water-soluble film are also important. Sufficient strength and flexibility of the film are necessary, especially in the case of a small thickness of 10 to 100 μιη. Therefore, the degree of polymerization averaged over the viscosity (referred to herein as the degree of polymerization) of the modified PVA is preferably 300 to 10,000, more preferably 500 to 8,000, more preferably 900 to 2,000, even more preferably 1,000 to 1,800 in the case of a degree of polymerization of less than 300, the strength of the film is lower. In the case of a degree of polymerization of more than 10,000, the viscosity of the solution during the production of the film becomes so high that the processability is deteriorated.

The degree of polymerization averaged over the viscosity can be calculated by measuring the Staudinger factor [η] (dl / g). The Staudinger factor is determined at 30 ° C. in aqueous NaCl solution (1 M) using a capillary viscometer. The viscosity-averaged degree of polymerization for polyvinyl alcohols is approximately calculated according to Ρν = ([η] x 10 ⁴ /8.33) ^{/ 0 62} , in which case for the Mark Houwink parameters K = 8.33 x 10 ⁴ and a = 0.62.

A synthesis can be carried out, for example, as follows. A methanolic solution of sodium hydroxide becomes a methanolic solution of a copolymer obtained by copolymerization of vinyl acetate and sodium acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonate in methanol is produced, added. This hydrolyzes the copolymer to give a modified PVA having a sulfonic acid group. The modified PVA thus obtained most preferably has a degree of polymerization of 1,300, a degree of hydrolysis of 98 mol% and a sulfonic acid group content of 1.5 mol%.

Also, the polyvinyl alcohol may be present as a terpolymer.

In some embodiments, the second film comprises a copolymer of polyvinyl alcohol having from 0 to 10 mole percent of residual acetate and from 1 to 6 mole percent of a non-hydrolyzable anionic co-monomer selected from the group consisting of acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, cis- 2-butenoic acid, 3-butenoic acid, cinnamic acid, phenylcinnamic acid, pentenoic acid, methylenemalonic acid, acrylamide, maleic acid, itaconic acid, the alkali metal and ammonium salts thereof.

The vinyl acetate-co-ltaconic acid copolymer is prepared under nitrogen in methanol as a solvent using 2,2'-azobis (isobutyronitrile) (AIBN) as an initiator. Alcoholysis of this copolymer is carried out in methanolic sodium hydroxide solution, and the recovered vinyl alcohol-co-ltaconic acid (sodium salt) copolymer is milled, washed to remove residual sodium acetate, and dried. The preferred degree of polymerization of the vinyl alcohol co-lactaconic acid (sodium salt) copolymer is preferably such that the viscosity of a freshly prepared 4% aqueous solution at 20 ° C is in a range of from about 5 to about 45 MPa · s (cps). More preferably, the viscosity is in the range of 1 to 30 mPas and more preferably in the range of 15 to 25 mPas.

The viscosities described herein are determined for a freshly prepared 4% aqueous solution at 20 ° C with a Brookfield LV viscometer with a UL adapter according to EN ISO 15023-2: 2006 Appendix E Brookfield Test Method.

The preferred degree of incorporation of itaconic acid comonomer in the vinyl alcohol-co-lactaconic acid (sodium salt) copolymer, expressed as a mole percentage, is in the range of from about 1.5 to about 11 mole percent. More preferably, the degree of incorporation is in the range of 2.5 to 8.5 mole percent, and more preferably in the range of 4-6 mole percent. The preferred degree of hydrolysis of the vinyl alcohol-co-itaconic acid (sodium salt) copolymer of the present invention, as converted as a percentage of vinyl acetate units to vinyl alcohol units, is in the range of about 98 to 100%.

However, it is preferred that the polyvinyl alcohol polymer is a copolymer with a sulfonate monomer, preferably AMPS, or is a terpolymer with AMPS and another monomer. It has been found that the sulfonic acid monomers, which act as stronger acids over carboxylic acid monomers, react less strongly with the hydroxy groups of the vinyl alcohol monomers in the polymer. Thus, the water solubility of the resulting polymers is more independent of pH changes and inorganic salts.

Polymers selected from the group comprising acrylic acid-containing polymers, polyacrylamides, oxazoline polymers, polystyrene sulfonates, polyurethanes, polyesters, polyethers and / or mixtures of the above polymers may additionally be added to a film suitable for producing the film packaging according to the invention.

The polyvinyl alcohol has in particular embodiments> 0 wt .-% to 10 wt .-% polyvinyl acetate, preferably 0.1 wt .-% to 5 wt .-% polyvinyl acetate, more preferably 0 wt .-% polyvinyl acetate on.

In some variants, starch, carboxymethylcellulose, methylcellulose, hydroxymethylcellulose and mixtures thereof may additionally be present in the film. The term starch includes, for example, wheat grain starch, corn starch, potato starch, rice starch and their oxidized derivatives and phosphate ester derivatives. These substances have an influence on the disintegration and dissolution of the films.

In a particularly preferred embodiment, the total polyvinyl alcohol polymer content of the film is at least 50 wt.%, At least 55 wt.%, At least 60 wt.%, At least 65 wt.%, At least 70 wt.%, At least 75 wt.%, At least 80% by weight, at least 85% by weight, at least 90% by weight.

Incidentally, the total polyvinyl alcohol polymer content may be formed by one or two or more different polyvinyl alcohol polymers as defined herein. These may differ in their degree of hydrolysis, viscosity, molecular weight, degree of polymerization and monomer composition.

The water absorption of a film-wrapped medium portion according to the invention, for example, when stored for 4 weeks at a room temperature of 20 ° C to 25 ° C and a relative humidity of 20% to 40% in the range of> 0 wt .-% and <1 wt. %, preferably <0.5 wt .-%, preferably <0, 1 wt .-% and particularly preferably 0 wt .-% be. Furthermore, the water absorption of a foil-packaged medium portion according to the invention can be, for example, for 4 weeks at a room temperature of 23 ° C and a relative humidity of 80% in the range of> 0.5 wt .-% and <5 wt .-%, preferably <4 wt .-%, preferably <3 wt .-% and particularly preferably <2.5 wt .-% be. The water absorption is determined by Karl Fischer titration.

The film-packaged agent or the middle portion according to the invention may comprise a plurality of components selected from the group comprising as washing, care and / or cleaning substances anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, nonionic surfactants, builders, bleaches, bleach activators, bleach stabilizers, Bleach catalysts, enzymes, polymers, cobuilders, alkalizers, acidifiers, anti-redeposition agents, silver protectants, colorants, optical brighteners, UV protectants, fabric softeners, perfumes, foam inhibitors and / or rinse aids, and optionally other admixed ingredients.

Investigation of solubility of water-soluble films Instructions and specifications

A. Materials

• 600 ml beaker

• Distilled water

Magnetic stirrer (Labline Model No. 1250 or equivalent)

Magnetic stir bar (5 cm)

• Thermometer (0 to 100 ° C, ± 1 ° C)

• template, stainless steel (3.8 cm * 3.2 cm)

• Stopwatch, (0-300 seconds, accurate to 1 s)

• Double clamp

• crocodile clip

• Polaroid 35 mm picture frame (or equivalent)

• MonoSol 35 mm picture frame holder (or equivalent, see Fig. 1)

B. Solubility Test of a Film Test Object:

1 . Cut three test objects from a film sample using a stainless steel template (i.e., 3.8 cm * 3.2 cm object). When the objects are cut by a film fabric, the objects are to be cut from areas evenly spaced along the transverse direction of the fabric.

2. Clamp each object in its own 35 mm image carrier.

3. Fill the beaker with 500 mL of distilled water. Measure the water temperature with a thermometer and, if necessary, heat or cool the water to keep it at a temperature of 10 ° C ± 1 ° C.

4. Mark the height of the water column. Place the magnetic stirrer on the base of the holder. Place the beaker on the magnetic stirrer, place the magnetic stir bar in the beaker, turn on the stirrer and adjust the stirrer speed to produce a vortex approximately 1/5 of the height of the water column. Mark the depth of the vortex. 5. Secure the 35mm image carrier with the alligator clip on the MonoSol 35mm Image Holder Holder (Figure 1) so that the long end of the image carrier is parallel to the water surface, as illustrated in Figure 2. The depth adjuster of the holder should be set so that when it is lowered, the end of the clip is 0.6 cm below the surface of the water. One of the short sides of the image carrier should be near the side of the beaker with the other one just above the center of the stir bar so that the film surface is at right angles to the flow of water.

6. In one movement, immerse the secured carrier and clamp in the water and start the stopwatch. The disintegration occurs when the film breaks. When all of the visible film has been released from the carrier-holder, withdraw the carrier from the water and continue to observe the solution for undissolved film fragments. Dissolution occurs when none of the film fragments is more visible and the solution has become clear.

Execution of the test:

The experiments were performed exactly after the instruction.

The crocodile clip was replaced by a solid metal rod. The Polaroid 35 mm carrier has been replaced by a precise frame.

Fig. 1 shows the water-immersed image carrier.

One of the short sides of the image carrier is located on the side of the beaker. The other is just above the center of the stir bar, just in the middle of the 600 mL beaker.

C. Investigations of solubility of a complete pouch:

1. Fill the beaker with 500 mL of distilled water. Measure the water temperature with a thermometer and, if necessary, heat or cool the water to keep it at a temperature of 10 ° C ± 1 ° C.

2. Mark the height of the water column. Place the magnetic stirrer on the base of the holder. Place the beaker on the magnetic stirrer, place the magnetic stirrer bar in the beaker, turn on the stirrer, and adjust the stirrer speed to produce a vortex that is approximately 1/5 of the height of the water column. Mark the depth of the vortex.

3. Secure the pouch in the double clamp as shown in Fig. 3 (Fig. 2 shows a double clamp with 1 pouch). 4. In one movement, dip the pouch with the clamp into the water so that the bottom of the pouch is 4 cm above the bottom of the beaker. Start the stopwatch.

5. Determine the time until the first release of the product occurs. This time is recorded as disintegration time.

6. Determine the time to which the water-soluble film is completely dissolved. This time is recorded as the dissolution time. After 300 s, the experiment is stopped and the solution finally examined. If film remains are still detectable, the result "Pouch incompletely resolved" is recorded.

Annex IV

Determination of plastic deformation:

The plastic deformation of the pot part of a film, preferably the bottom of the pot part, based on the length of the corresponding starting film before the plastic deformation, was determined as follows: About the Doppelkammerpouchform, from which the pouch resulted in accordance with Annex II, a Hi-Selon SH 2312 film was placed. For each of the two recesses, the largest possible distance between two points on the upper edge was determined. If several pairs of points were equidistant, then the depression below the imaginary connection between the two points was considered. It was then selected the pair of points, below the connecting line was the deepest depression in the form.

For the dimple, it was found that the largest distance between the pair of dots was across the chamber, as illustrated in the picture below by the pouches.

For the large recess, it was found that the largest distance between the pair of points was diagonal through the chamber, as illustrated in Fig. 8 by the pouches.

The specific pairs of points were marked on the slide and measured the distance with a ruler. Subsequently, the film was deep-drawn and plastically deformed as described in Annex II, for S2. The finished film was removed from the cavity. With the help of a thread that was passed from one point of the pair of points to the other point, the distance between the two points after the plastic deformation was determined. The thread was measured with a ruler.

The distance between the two points after plastic deformation was set in relation to the exit distance to calculate the plastic deformation of the pot part based on the length of the corresponding starting film before plastic deformation.

The Hi-Selon SH2312 film of the small chamber exhibited a plastic deformation of 28%, based on the length of the corresponding starting film before plastic deformation.

The Hi-Selon SH2312 film of the large chamber exhibited a plastic deformation of 26% based on the length of the corresponding starting film before plastic deformation.
