ABSTRACT:
Sealable container assemblies include containers for materials which are to be microwave heated, such as in digesting or extracting operations, made of thermoplastic material, such as fluoropolymer, that is strengthened by reinforcing means that may be a fiber reinforced thermoplastic of high tensile strength, such as polyetherimide, with reinforcing continuous fibers in a matrix of such thermoplastic, which fibers are very preferably in the shape of a sleeve or sleeves and are of glass or other heat resistant and microwave transmissive material. The containers may be strengthened by incorporating the fiber reinforced thermoplastic in a wall or walls of the container or preferably by inserting the container into a reinforcement, which is a sleeve or collar of the reinforced thermoplastic. In both such constructions the reinforcing means protects the container against radial failure due to pressure that is generated by the microwave heating of the container contents. However, it has been found that in those cases wherein the internal pressure of the container rises even higher than that against which the reinforcement is protective, failure of the side wall and the reinforcement may be explosive, so the containers of this invention are of a structure that causes them to fail at an unreinforced location before the reinforcement, which failure is less explosive and less damaging to equipment employed and to any surroundings. Also described are the container construction, which preferably includes a central bottom depression and a skirt, and procedures for utilizing the containers in heatings of materials.
