Abstract:
A thermoplastic bakeware article (i. e. , an article formed to hold, contain or support food, while being heated in a microwave, conventional oven, convection oven, or the like) that is food-grade and resistant to dripping, stringing, and melting at high temperatures. The article has a composition comprising a partially crystalline polyester resin and a phenoxy resin. The composition is formulated so as to allow cross-linking between the polyester resin and the phenoxy resin at temperatures above about 400 F.

Abstract:
A disposable cutting sheet for cutting and preparation of food items thereon comprises a first cut-resistant layer having a first surface area and including a cellulosic ply and a thermoplastic material ply, wherein the thermoplastic material ply of the first layer includes a plurality of apertures therethrough. The cutting sheet further includes a second layer having a second surface area and including a cellulosic ply and a thermoplastic material ply. The cellulosic ply of the first layer is disposed on and secured to the cellulosic ply of the second layer such that portions of the thermoplastic and cellulosic plies of the second layer extend beyond the surface area of the first layer to form a border completely surrounding the first layer.

US Classification:
401188R, 401136, 401137, 401207
Abstract:
A dispenser includes a cradle () including generally upright sidewalls (), a handle () having a top and a bottom, and a plurality of sheets () releasably attached to the bottom of the handle (), such that the plurality of sheets () faces the cradle (). The cradle () can house a reservoir () containing a liquid product. The handle () is positioned by the upright sidewalls () of the cradle () and is supported by the cradle (). The liquid product can be dispensed from the reservoir () onto the surface of the outermost sheet () of the plurality of sheets (). That sheet () then can be used to apply the liquid product to a surface, and can be removed and discarded after use, revealing a fresh sheet.
Pressure-Sensitive Food Grade Wrap Film And Process For Manufacturing Such A Film

International Classification:
B32B007/12 B32B015/04
US Classification:
428/343000, 428/354000
Abstract:
A flexible pressure-sensitive food grade wrap film, and a process for manufacturing the film. The film includes a substrate overcoated with a pressure-sensitive adhesive, a release overprinted on the adhesive that prevents the adhesive from clinging to the surface of an article or to itself without applying pressure, and, optionally, a release coating on the opposite side of the substrate. Once pressure is applied to the film, the film flexibility allows the adhesive to contact the surface of the article or itself and subsequently adhere to hold the film in place or to form a sealed pouch around an article. The pressure-activated contact and adhesion to an article or to itself are designed to form a tight, spill-resistant physical bond that seals liquid or solid contents in a container, or forms a sealed pouch around a solid article.

International Classification:
B32B003/00
US Classification:
428/189000
Abstract:
A slip resistant substrate for a processing substrate includes a polymeric material ply located opposite a cut-resistant layer of the processing substrate. The slip resistant substrate reduces or eliminates slippage of the processing substrate during use thereof and may be either secured to or separate from the processing substrate.

Abstract:
A two part cleaning composition, apparatus and method of use is described. One part of the cleaning composition contains an oxidizing agent. The two part cleaning composition provides for shelf stability during storage by controlling the pH solution at a different level in each of the first part and the second part of the composition. At a point of use of the cleaning composition, the first part and the second part are combined resulting in an automatic adjustment of the pH level through admixture of the first part and the second part to provide a pH level for the combined composition to achieve optimum cleaning of a surface with the composition. One part of the cleaning composition is maintained at a pH of from about 4 to about 5 and a second part of the composition is maintained at a pH of greater than 10. The pH of the combined composition at the point of use is from 7 to 12, preferably from about 8 to about 11. Surfaces suitable for treatment by the cleaning composition include hard surfaces, e.g. bathroom and kitchen surfaces, and soft surfaces, e.g. carpet.
