Abstract: Described is a single or multi-layered film having at least one polyamide layer (I) containing dispersed nanoscale nucleating particles. The smallest components of the dispersed nanoscale nucleating particles in layer (I) have an extension of less than 100 nm in at least one randomly selected direction for each component, based on a weighted average of all components of the dispersed nanoscale nucleating particles. Crystalline structures emanating from the surface of the dispersed nanoscale nucleating particles are formed after the layer (I) is cooled from the molten state at a rate of from 10 to 20° C. per minute. The dispersed nanoscale nucleating particles are present in the polyamide layer (I) in an amount of from 10 ppm to 3000 ppm, based on the total weight of layer (I).

Abstract: Described is a flexible, multilayered film comprising, (i) an outer layer composed substantially of polyamide containing nanodispersed filing material (e.g., in an amount of from 0.1 and 3 wt. %), and (ii) at least one additional polyamide layer. The multilayered film of the present invention may be produced by flat film or blown film methods. Also described is a method of using the multilayered film of the present invention as a packaging for foodstuff.

Abstract: A method for packaging food, which comprises packaging food in an at least eight-layer co-extruded, adhesive free and EVOH-free thermoformable film comprised of polyamide, polyolefin, and/or copolymers based on olefins, wherein the film has a first outer layer comprised of polyamide, a second outer layer comprised of a polyolefin or olefin copolymer and the film does not delaminate at temperatures between 50° C. and 150° C.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a thermoformable, multilayer, co-extruded adhesive-free and EVOH-free film containing polyamide, polyolefins, and/or copolymers based on olefins. This film is particularly suitable for the packaging of products that have been subjected to a heat treatment in thermoformed films. The films are characterised by an outer layer of polyamide and a second outer layer of polyolefins or coploymers based on olefins, wherein the film composite does not delaminate even at temperatures between 50° C. and 150° C.

Abstract: Described is a film having at least a single layer and at least one copolyamide layer (I) containing dispersed nanoscale nucleating particles.
