ABSTRACT:
A low-cost, throw-away receptacle such as a cup, picnic plate, or container, and closures for such receptacles, are made from foamed plastic material, preferably foamed polystyrene, which is lined on one or both sides with unoriented polyolefin film, preferably polypropylene. The film is secured to the foamed plastic base material using as a heat-sensitive adhesive a vinylic polymer or polyamide resin. Preferred vinylic polymers are based on vinyl acetate, and include polyvinyl acetate maleate copolymer. The film is coated with the initially wet adhesive which is dispersed in an emulsion or solvent carrier, and dried before laminating the film to the foam material. Laminating is done by heating the foam material to a temperature of from 250.degree.-275.degree. F., preheating the coated film to from 100.degree.-180.degree. F., and pressing the coated film surface against the heated foam using a cold platen or roller for from 10 to 15 seconds. The adhesive may be pigmented, and imprinted or applied over decorative printing on the transparent polyolefin film liner material, to provide colorful designs or printing appearing through the film and thus shielded by the liner material from scuffing or marring. The hard, glossy polyolefin film liner which provides the surface of such receptacles is strong to resist puncture, yet the foamed plastic base material provides both heat resistance and lightness, and does not absorb water or grease. Continuous processes and apparatus for making such laminated material and receptacles are disclosed.
