Definitions

  • the present invention relates to polymeric laminate materials and more particularly to polymeric laminate materials exhibiting functional properties.
  • the present invention further relates to barrier and cushioning films, in particular, barrier and cushioning films exhibiting functional properties proving advantageous for the management of adverse conditions, pertaining particularly, but not limited to, food storage
  • the present invention further relates to cushioning films in which the chambers contain active ingredients to be deployed on contact.
  • the present invention further relates to the lamination of the cushioning film for increased functional properties.
  • Insect pests inflict their damage on stored products mainly by direct feeding. Some species feed on the endosperm, causing loss of weight and quality, while other species feed on the germ, resulting in poor seed germination and less viability (Malek & Parveen, 1989; Santus, et al. 1990). In addition to direct consumption of the product, insect pests contaminate their feeding media through excretion, molting, dead bodies and their own existence in the product, which is not commercially desirable. Damage done by insect pests encourages infection with bacteria and fungal disease through transmission of their spores (Cravedi & Quaroni, 1982; E. Kundayo, 1988; Bis, 1980).
  • insects also raises the stored product temperature, due to their feeding activity, resulting in hot spots (Appert, 1987; Mills, 1989). These "hot spots” can lead to condensation and excessive moisture, resulting in the growth of mold or fungi. Insects' activity can have profound effects on the spread of fungal diseases through transmitting the spores and increasing the surface area susceptible to fungal infection, which eventually increases production of mycotoxins (Dunkel, 1988).
  • fumagatis is report to result in high levels of abortion in cattle feeding on contaminated food; also infects human lungs (Darwish, et al., 1991; Pandey & Prasad 1993; Abud, et al., 1995).
  • Patents exist for the encapsulation of Holiday confetti and graffiti, associated holiday prints, as described in US Pat. No. 20100143614 "Holiday and Event Bubble Wrap” and holiday-inspired or event-themed scents for bubble wrap as seen in Patent No. 806255 filed on 02/21/1997, "Scented Bubble Wrap” as well as multiple patents detailing differences in pocket structure, load strength and wall thickness of the air pocket, bubble dimension and shape and interconnectedness of air pockets, air pathways, structural design and incorporation into other containment units and free standing containment units.
  • Such laminates which exhibit contact release mechanisms, with or without a barrier layer or alternative laminate substrate may be used for the storage of agricultural products and the like, such as harvested grain, maize, cowpeas and silage, whereby such laminates function as mechanical barriers to pests, rodents and insects while mitigating the effects of temperature and humidity variations, stored product transpiration and moisture management as a result of contact pressure which enables the release of the food-safe active ingredient contained within the air cushioned membrane .
  • Free-standing storage units for bagged agricultural commodities are prone to both insect and rodent infestation. Insect infestation may exacerbate the proliferation of mold and fungal growth due to the insect's respiration, excretions, and transmission and further distribution of the mold, fungal, and bacterial spores while migrating through the stored product. Accordingly, it is beneficial to provide on-farm storage containers that prevent or reduce both infestation and manage moisture transmission to prevent fungal growth.
  • the containers should maintain some degree of oxygen permeability in a manner which permits complementary moisture vapor diffusion or a form of hermetic storage with use of the novel substrate detailed herein as a component of a hermetic approach whereby the polymeric layer either retains moisture or functions to achieve acceptable levels of difference between external and internal temperatures and relative humidity to prevent moisture accumulation and its related effects such as hot spots and areas of decomposing foodstuff due to centralized moisture.
  • the present invention features the use of air cushioned film encapsulating or otherwise containing active ingredients or bioactive substances or components thereof specifically for the purpose of a release by penetration either used singularly, as an insert, and or in combination with polymeric films incorporated, coated, laminated, infused, coextruded or somehow containing active ingredients to provide one of the following or a combination of the following for the distinct purpose of promoting or contributing to the promotion of a desired effect; moisture management, oxygen transmission, water vapor transmission, fungal, bacterial and mold growth inhibitors or scavengers of whatsoever nature, and insecticides of whatsoever nature and class or family, whether natural or synthetic, to include but not limited to, insect sterilization, excito-toxins, dessicants, pheromones, attractants, scents, and rodent repellents of whatsoever nature as well as additives contributing or pertaining to material properties such as UV blockers or stabilizers, colors, or additives of whatsoever nature.
  • the present invention includes multilayer structures, laminates, co- extruded films or substrates and or air cushioning films and or three dimensional films having raised, quilted or pocketed structures or texturized substrates of whatsoever nature, encapsulating active ingredients which are released on contact by penetration of the raised portion, such laminates may be employed for use as films singularly, as liners, inserts, special placement strips, or additional components to existing storage mechanisms, as multi-dimensional laminates combining one or more polymer layer, or manufactured as containers comprising the same for the storage of agricultural products and the like either for human or animal consumption such as harvested grain, maize, silage and feedstock as well as methods of storing foodstuffs for a period of time to permit on-farm storage and ultimately to promote the subsequent economic benefits related to timely market approach.
  • a polymeric laminate comprising adapted to contact an insect of a given dimensional shape with a dose of an insecticide: an innermost layer comprising a bubble plastic thermoplastic polymeric material layer comprising bubbles containing at least one insecticide, the bubbles having a shape and an inter-bubble distance adapted to resist the movement of the insect thereabout.
  • the bubbles may face inward or outward, and may also be incorporated as a double layer.
  • the shape, size and/or inter-bubble distance can be chosen so as to resist the movement of the insect about the bubbles, so as to relatively increase the resident time the insect spends within a gnawing distance from the bubble(s). Because many boring insects will continue to gnaw or bore into nearby material, it is desirable to tune these parameters based upon the physical dimensions of the target insect(s) to make the spatial environment more difficult for the insect(s) to navigate.
  • the insecticide is in powder form, and preferably comprises a material selected from the group consisting of diatomaceous earth and cuticle desiccants.
  • the burst strength of the thermoplastic bubbles of the bubble plastic thermoplastic polymeric material allows the insect to burst the thermoplastic bubbles so as to expose the insect to the at least one insecticide.
  • the bubble layer may be made of any suitable polymeric material designed to allow the insect to gnaw, bore or otherwise pierce, preferably the bubble plastic thermoplastic polymeric material comprises a polymer selected from the group consisting of LDPE, LLDPE, VLDPE and may include one or more of the other thermoplastic group of polymers.
  • maneuverability, tenacity, and overall interaction of the insect with the textured substrate such as scratching, burrowing, as well as the impacts of penetration to include but not limited to, the rate of penetration of the raised portion upon differing techniques and methods of penetration and the subsequent rate of active ingredient release and volume in relation to the insect body dimensions, the differences in penetrability of different shapes due to mandible positioning and insect dimensions and thus manueverability, and other mechanical properties distinct to the construction and properties described herein which act as the initial barrier before the active ingredient release.
  • Films of the present invention and those of slight variation described herein may also find beneficial use in building applications, such as in grain storage facilities, such as in grain or food storage warehouse floor applications, ceiling or easement coverings, or for use within residential construction to mitigate infestation while providing insulation,.
  • a related embodiment of the present invention may also include a polymeric film used as a wrap deployed around tree trunks as barriers to burrowing wood pests and other forest diseases with the alternative active ingredients or combinations of active ingredients exhibiting properties including to but not limited to repellency, sterilization, growth regulation, contact killer, cuticle dessicant, propigate or other type of active ingredient or any mixtures or combinations whatsoever whether natural or synthetic or mechanically or chemically manipulated, for specific applicability and effectiveness with consideration to the vector strain, speciation, insect behavior, resistance, reproduction, mode of action, etc as well as the modifications required for material properties to withstand environmental conditions and application requirements.

  • adherents, glues, epoxies, and or resins or other materials intended to affix substrates not mentioned herein may be placed at the edges during manufacture for later use as a method of post-manufacture, consumer assembly of a baglike structure or containment unit.
  • the method employed for dosing active ingredients within the air pockets may be dependent upon the composition, viscosity, heat index and other properties of the active ingredient whether it be in powder, liquid, gel, or any other substance whatsoever such as respective flow rates and other physical and chemical properties, and such dosing of active ingredients preferably should take place at the crucial phase in film
  • the hot melt plastic sheet has conformed the desired depressions and dimensions after coming off the perforated roller with sufficient cooling at a temperature adequate so as not to entirely embed the active ingredient in the hot plastic but before moving onto the process whereby the second sheet second is to be laid so as to suspend the active ingredient between the raised portion and the flat laminate, thus enclosing, encapsulating, or otherwise containing the active ingredient in a manner sufficient so as to be released from the raised portion upon penetration.
