Abstract

A packaged product. The package has a plastic container and a light-sensitive liquid composition contained in the plastic container. The container has a plastic container for protecting a light-sensitive liquid composition from light. The container has: i) a top; ii) a bottom opposing to the top; iii) a first layer extending from the top to the bottom, wherein the first layer is non-opaque; and iv) a second layer superposed with a part of the first layer, wherein the second layer has a blocking agent. The container has a non-superposed area covering the bottom. In the non-superposed area the first layer is not superposed with the second layer. The non-superposed area has a height h from about 2 mm to about 50 mm.

Claims (22)

1. A packaged product comprising:

A) a plastic container for protecting a light-sensitive liquid composition from light comprising:

i) a top;

ii) a bottom of the container opposing to the top and a sidewall extending between the top and the bottom of the container;

iii) a first layer extending from the top to the bottom of the container, wherein the first layer is non-opaque; and

iv) a second layer superposed with a part of the first layer forming a superposed area, wherein the second layer comprises a blocking agent;

wherein the container comprises a non-superposed area covering a bottom of the sidewall, where the first layer is not superposed with the second layer, the non-superposed area extends from the bottom of the container to a height h on the sidewall of from about 2 mm to about 50 mm; and

B) a light-sensitive composition contained in the plastic container,

wherein the light-sensitive composition is sensitive to light of a wavelength λ, and where in the blocking agent blocks light of the wavelength λ.

2. The packaged product according to claim 1 , wherein the container extends in a height direction from the top to the bottom, wherein the second layer comprises a second layer thickness, and wherein the second layer thickness gradually decreases from the top to the bottom in the height direction.

3. The packaged product according to claim 1 , wherein the first layer is an inner layer and the second layer is an outer layer.

4. The packaged product according to claim 1 , wherein the first layer is an outer layer and the second layer is the inner layer.

5. The packaged product according to claim 1 , wherein the liquid product is a dual-phase liquid product.

6. The packaged product according to claim 1 , wherein the first layer is selected from the group consisting of transparent, translucent, pigmented and a mixture thereof.

7. The packaged product according to claim 1 , wherein the first layer has a Haze value of between from about 0.1% to about 85%, measured in accordance with ASTM-D1003-00.

8. The packaged product according to claim 1 , wherein the blocking agent is selected from the group consisting of a UV blocking agent, a visible light blocking agent and a mixture thereof.

9. The packaged product according to claim 1 , wherein the first layer and the second layer comprise a plastic material selected from the group consisting of polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, polyethylene terephthalate, a polyacryl resin, a polyamide resin, a polyvinylchloride resin, an acrylate resin, an ABS resin, an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer resin, a nylon resin, a polyvinylidene chloride resin, and a mixture thereof.

10. The packaged product according to claim 3 , wherein the outer layer comprises a regenerated resin.

11. The packaged product according to claims 3 , wherein the container comprises an oxygen gas scavenger in the inner layer.

12. The packaged product according to claims 4 , wherein the container comprises an oxygen gas scavenger in the inner layer.

13. The packaged product according to claim 1 , wherein the light-sensitive composition comprises an ingredient selected from the group consisting of an enzyme, a bleach, a fabric softening active, and a mixture thereof.

14. The packaged product according to claim 1 , wherein the container comprises a border line between the non-superposed area and the superposed area, and wherein the border line obliquely runs to the bottom.
