A method for improving the adhesion characteristics of a secondary coating to a coated substrate material using a corona or plasma discharge treatment, in which the treatment is limited to a finite duration of time sufficient to increase the surface energy of the coated substrate above that of the secondary coating but insufficient to cause a loss or diminishment of the adhesion between any layers of coating of the coated substrate material or between the bottommost layer of the coating and the bare substrate. A secondary coating is applied to the treated substrate and at a desired thickness and cured or dried, depending upon its composition. The limited duration discharge treatment functions to improve the adhesion of the secondary coating to the coated substrate material without adversely affecting any previously applied coating layers.

A coating composition that includes a reactive blend of at least one first component and at least one second isocyanate or isocyanate quasi-prepolymer component with the first component is consisting essentially of a polymer and/or a blend of polymers present in an amount sufficient to impart a predetermined amount of tensile strength, hardness, flexibility and adhesive strength to the resulting polymeric coating. The first component can be composed of at least one of amine terminated polyetherpolyols, amine-based polyols and high functional polyols. Also disclosed is a composite article that includes a polymeric substrate composed of fibers of at least one of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene and aramid in a polymeric mixture and the coating material and a vehicle having an interior surface having at least one polymeric panel composed of the substrate and the coating.

A polymeric composition composed of a polymeric material and at least one additive. The polymeric material is at least one of a polymeric precursor material or a melt processible polymeric material. The additive is complexed with the polymeric material and is an inorganic or organo-inorganic complex that is integrated into at least a portion of the polymeric chains in the polymeric composition. The additive may be at least one of oxide glass compounds or halogenated post-transition metal compounds and is present in an amount sufficient to increase the material weight without unduly compromising optical qualities such as transparency to visible light. The polymeric composition can be provided in melt processible form to be used to produce articles such as drinking glasses and the like. The composition can be produced by processes such as dispersion by polymerization of the monomers producing the desired polymeric material in the presence of the additive.

A process for packaging a product, particulary one with sharp protrusions, a composition for cushioning the sharp protrusions during packaging and a foamed material prepared therefore, the process including the steps of applying a foamed composition to the product to be packaged; and encasing the product in an outer package. The foamed material can be applied in liquid or semiliquid form at a point-of-contact temperature less than about 130. degree. F. and solidifies substantially on contact. The foamed material is, preferably, applied selectively to cover the sharp protrusions and contains a chemical substrate containing a polymer having the general formula, a resin and a stabilizer. A suitable gas is encapsulated therein. The process, composition and foamed material have particular utility in the meat-packing industry.

A process is provided for packaging a product, particularly one with sharp protrusions or discrete fragile regions. The process includes the steps of applying a polymeric material to an exterior surface of an outer packaging container, in the region covering sharp protrusions, thereby providing a protective cushion against rupture or tearing of the container surrounding the product during shipping and storage. The liquified polymeric composition containing a microcrystalline wax is applied at a point-of-contact temperature between about 75. degree. F. and about 160. degree. F. ; the applied material is then allowed to solidify in the form of a flexible resilient coating. The polymeric material used in the process consists essentially of a polymer, a synthetic or naturally occurring tackifying resin, a microcrystalline wax, and an antioxidant stabilizer.

A process or method for packaging an edible food product, particularly one having at least one bag puncturing surface such as a sharp protrusion, for cushioning the bag puncturing surface during packaging and shipping. The process includes the steps of selectively applying a foamed composition to the bag puncturing surface of the product to be packaged and encasing the product in an outer package or bag. The foamed material can be applied in liquid or semiliquid form at a point-of contact temperature less than about 130. degree. F. and solidifies substantially on contact. The foamed material contains a chemical substrate which includes a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, ethylene vinyl acetate and mixtures thereof having a molecular weight between about 1,800 and 25,000 molecular weight units, a resin and a stabilizer. A suitable gas is encapsulated within the chemical substrate. The process has particular utility in the meat-packing industry.
