Examples
example 1
[0143]Temperature indicating lid composition: A universal lid composition was prepared using VERSAFLEX CL2000X, a thermo polymer elastomer (GLS Corp.). The resin was extruded using a 1 inch 3 zone extruder set at 250° F., 390° F., and 370° F. for zones 1, 2, and 3 respectively. A dried finely ground thermochromic powder (10° C. vermillian, blue, black, yellow, turquoise, pink, brilliant green, brown, or other available colors from Matsui Corp.) was added and blended at 1.5% by weigh and coated onto the CL2000X resin. The resin / composition was extruded at 90 rpm into elongated ingots.
example 2
[0144]Compression molded universal lid: The temperature indicating composition in ingot form in Example 1 above was compression molded using a pre-machined aluminum molded (6061) into pre-determined lid shapes comprising a top surface (0.06 inch thick and an undercut edge band). The undercut edge band was 0.125 inches thick and 0.75 inches tall.
example 3
[0145]Temperature indication and utility of a universal lid: The universal lid molded in Example 2 above was stretched over a variety of container types storing liquids, perishables, food types, or other substances. The lid was compressed in the middle to create permanent vacuum for enhanced storage conditions. The lid transitioned from a light translucent clear color to a dark temperature indicating color upon cooling to 10° C. The lid held its vacuum at room temperature, refrigerator temperature, and sub-zero temperatures.
