Abstract:

A method of preparing a molded article by means of an in-mold decoration process, is described. The method includes, providing a laminate () of a plurality of separate releasable thermoplastic labels () superposed over a carrier film (). A decoration () is applied in-line to the exposed second surface () of the labels (), thereby forming a decorated laminate (). The decorated laminate () is forwarded and indexed into a mold () such that the exposed first surface () of the carrier film () abuts at least a portion of the interior surface of the mold, and the decorated second surface () of the label () faces the interior space of the mold. Plastic material (e. g. , thermoplastic material) is injected into the mold against the decorated surface of the label, thus forming a molded article. The carrier film () is then separated from the molded article. At least a portion of the surface of the molded article prepared in accordance with the present method is defined by the first surface () of at least one label.

Abstract:

A method of converting cannabidiol (CBD) into Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) and Δ8-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ8-THC). The method provides a polar aprotic solvent such as Tert-Butyl Methyl Ether, Tetrahydrofuran, dicloromethane, or chloroform. Cannabidiol starting material mixes into the polar aprotic solvent in a chemical reactor to make a cannabinoid solution. Adding a metallic catalyst capable of performing intramolecular hydroalkoxylation to the cannabinoid solution and mixing it converts the cannabidiol starting material into Δ9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9-THC) and Δ8-Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ8-THC) in a ratio of at least 6:1. The catalyst is a metal such as a transition metal or is selected from the group consisting of ruthenium, aluminum, iron, gold, silver, copper, platinum, and combinations thereof. In one embodiment a co-catalyst is used such as a triflate salt. Regulating the temperature of the reaction to less than 20 C. yields a predominance of Δ9-THC, i.e. Δ9-THC is more than 75% of the cannabinoid mix.
