Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a packaging material comprising a layer of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) and an aluminum layer having a thickness of 0.1-20 μm, wherein the layer comprising MFC and/or the aluminum layer has been laminated or extrusion coated on at least one side with a thermoplastic polymer and wherein the amount of aluminum is sufficient to make the packaging material heat sealable by induction. The MFC layer contains at least 60% by weight of microfibrillated cellulose.
Abstract:
A biodegradable packaging material, a method of manufacturing the same, as well as products made of the material wherein the manufacture comprises extrusion onto a fibrous substrate one or more polymer coating layers including at least one layer of a polymer blend consisting of (i) 20-95 wt-% of polylactide having a high melt index of more than 35 g/10 min (210° C.; 2.16 kg), (ii) 5-80 wt-% of polybutylene succinate (PBS) or a biodegradable derivate thereof, and (iii) 0-5 wt-% of one or more polymeric additives. The components of the blend are melted and blended in connection with the extrusion step. The goal is to improve extrudability, increase machine speed in extrusion and maintaining good adhesiveness to the substrate and good heat-sealability of the coating. The products include disposable drinking cups and board trays, as well as sealed carton packages for solids and liquids.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to paper or paperboard comprising at least one coating layer formed by extrusion coating of a PET (polyethylene terephthalate) resin, characterized in that the PET resin comprises at least 50% by weight of a PET copolymer having an intrinsic viscosity of less than 0.7 dl/g, preferably less than 0.65 dl/g, as determined according to ISO 1628.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a laminate having oxygen barrier properties, which laminate comprises; a porous fiber based layer comprising nanocellulose and cellulosic fibers wherein said fiber based layer has an air resistance of less than 4000 s/100 ml measured according to ISO5636/6 and a polymer layer attached to at least one side of said fiber based layer to form said laminate. The present invention further relates to a method to produce said laminate and a paper or paperboard product comprising the laminate and the use of the laminate.

Abstract:
A biodegradable packaging material, a method of manufacturing the same, as well as products made of the material wherein a multilayer coating coextruded onto a fibrous substrate the multilayer coating comprising innermost and outermost layers of a blend comprising 20-95 wt-% of a higher melt index polylactide and 5-80 wt-% of another biodegradable polymer such as polybutylene succinate, and a middle layer containing a lower melt index polylactide alone. The goal is to increase machine speed in coextrusion while maintaining good adhesiveness to the substrate and good heat-sealability of the coating. The products include disposable drinking cups and board trays, as well as sealed carton packages for solids and liquids.
