NONWOVEN PLASTIC POUCH SEPARATOR
Application 3271/CHENP/2005 published 2007-05-11, filed 2005-12-05
A rupturable seal comprising a film of a first polymer, a film of a second polymer and a sealing interlayer. The sealing interlayer has a melting point higher than the melting points of either the first polymer or the second polymer and comprises a plurality of micro-fibers each having an average effective fiber diameter from about 2.5µm to about 7.0µm. Fusion bonding of films of the first polymer and the second polymer to either side of a sealing interlayer produces a rupturable seal having a frangible interface including portions thereof wherein the first polymer contacts the second polymer. The rupturable seal parts at the frangible interface by application of force causing a gap and separation of the first film from the second film.
