Title: Method for forming a burstable pouch
IPC: B29C71/04
Filed: 1983-12-13
Abstract: An improved method for forming closed burstable pouches (10) having breakable seals. The method includes selection of a laminated polymeric film (16) which has two principal layers-an outer layer (20) which is responsive, and an inner layer (18) which is non-responsive, to a radio-frequency (RF) welding field, the outer layer (20) having greater cohesive strength than the remainder of the film and a higher melting pointthan the inner layer (18). With two sheets of such material oriented with their inner surfaces in contact, the breakable seal (14) is formed by applying an RF welding field for a time and at an intensity to heat the outer layers (20) sufficiently to fuse the inner layers (18) by heat transfer from the outer layers without melting the outer layers. In a preferred embodiment, two burstable pouches (10) are made from a double-sized intermediate pouch (26).
