BLOCKING MICROLEAKS IN FLEXIBLE FOOD PACKAGES

摘要

Microleaks in flexible packages constituting an avenue for microbiological contamination of the contents are blocked by immersion of the package in an elastomer polymer solution having a viscosity of 10 to 1000 centipoises which solution enters into the microleak and upon removal of the solvent deposits an elastomer plug which completely and effectively closes the microleak.
