Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to the field of food packaging, in particular food packaging. One embodiment of the present invention relates to a three/dimensional cellulose/based food packaging with excellent barrier properties. For example, the present invention relates to a cellulose-based, multilayer, three-dimensional food packaging comprising a bioplastic layer, a barrier paper layer and a moulded cellulose layer. This cellulose-based, multilayer, three-dimensional food packaging has an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of less than 30 cc/m2/d (23° C., 50% RH) and a water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of less than 20 g/m2/d (38° C., 90% RH).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing of a laminated cellulose-based liquid or semi-liquid food packaging material, wherein the laminated packaging material has a bulk material layer of paper, paperboard or other cellulose-based material, an innermost, heat sealable and liquid-tight layer of a thermoplastic polymer, the innermost polymer layer intended to be in direct contact with the packaged food product, a barrier layer laminated between the bulk layer and the innermost layer. The invention further relates the laminated packaging materials obtained by the method and to a packaging container for liquid food packaging, comprising the laminated packaging material or being made from the laminated packaging material obtained by the method.
Abstract:
A biodegradable cellulose fiber-based substrate, at least one side of which is coated with a release coating including: a) at least one water-soluble polymer (WSP) containing hydroxyl groups, and b) at least one lactone substituted with at least one linear or branched and/or cyclic C8-C30 hydrocarbon chain which may contain heteroatoms. The biodegradable substrate is certified biodegradable in accordance with EN 13432. A method of production thereof is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A film for packaging useable with foodstuffs comprising a paperboard or biopolymer base material, a base coat structure, a metallized layer, and a top coat structure. The base coat structure has one or more layers, each having a weight less than or equal to 1% of the base material and of differing chemical composition and the sum is less than or equal to 5% of the structure weight. The metallized layer is on the base coat structure to an optical density of between 2.0 and 4.5. The top coat structure has an outer and an inner layer, with each layer less than or equal to 1% of the weight of the base material and of differing chemical composition. A bag made from such a film is likewise disclosed, as is a film without a metallized layer.
Abstract:
Described herein are laminated packaging materials comprising foamed cellulose, their use in manufacturing packaging containers, for use in packaging of food products.
Abstract:
This invention relates to the composition of a chitosan coated paper wherein the chitosan may be derived from a variety of sources. Methods of using chitosan as a surface coating or pulp additive to tune the properties of paper and paperboard products are also described. The chitosan applied is a bio-based and environmentally friendly barrier coating and/or additive material for the manufacture of functional paper and paperboard products, specifically as evaporative cooling media requiring wet strength and structural integrity, wicking, and moisture resistance as an alternative to conventional phenolic-based resins. The solid-state fermentation method to produce chitosan and its derivatives offer renewable bio-based materials towards the manufacture of functional paper products that are eco-friendly but also offer uncompromised performance levels.
Abstract:
An antistatic laminate and a laminate material equipped with the laminate are provided, wherein the laminate includes a base material and an antistatic layer which comprises a cellulose fiber having a carboxyl group, and the laminate can prevent deterioration of antistatic properties under a low humidity environment, while high transparency is maintained due to use of a material wherein natural resources are effectively used.
Abstract:
A laminate structural material including at least one substrate layer and at least one reinforcing layer. The reinforcing layer may include a binder and a starch-containing component. The reinforcing layer is made from a base material having discrete starch-containing pellets bound to each other by a carbohydrate polymer binder. The laminate structural material to be formed into components of furniture, shelters, enclosures, pet accessories, and/or other structures.
Abstract:
A container including at least one wall that defines an internal volume and an opening into the internal volume, the wall defining an internal surface and an external surface and being formed as a layered structure that includes a first layer, a second layer that includes paperboard and defines the external surface, and an adhesive layer disposed between the first layer and the second layer, wherein at most 0.15 grams of surface condensation forms on the wall per 300 square centimeters of the external surface during a 20-minute interval, the 20-minute interval beginning upon filling 75 percent of the internal volume with a liquid maintained at a temperature of about 32° F. while the filled container is exposed to an ambient temperature of about 73° F. and about 50 percent relative humidity.
