  • Patent number: 8449984
    Abstract: The present invention describes thermoformable coextruded film suitable for use in packaging applications having at least a first polymeric layer serving as an outermost exterior-film layer and comprising a cycloaliphatic polyester, an aromatic polyester or blends thereof; a second polymeric layer serving as a thermoforming-assist layer and comprising a polyolefin; and a third polymeric layer serving as an innermost exterior-film layer and comprising a heat-sealing polyolefin material. The films of the present invention are oxygen-permeable in that they exhibit an oxygen transmission rate of between 32-1000 cm3/100 in2/24 h. atm.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7201966
    Abstract: Multilayer coextruded thermoformable structures for packaging film applications. The multilayer structures having at least a first layer comprising polyethylene terephthalate, a second layer of a first adhesive comprising a blend of at least an acrylate-based resin and either a modified polyolefin or a modified acrylate-based resin; a third layer of a thermoplastic oxygen barrier. The thermoplastic oxygen barrier may comprise ethylene/vinyl alcohol copolymer (EVOH), polyvinylidene chloride, or polyamide, preferably, a polyamide blend containing between 1–29% amorphous polyamide. The present invention may further comprise at least 5–7 thermoplastic layers.
