  • Patent number: 7919161
    Abstract: A dual-ovenable tray useful for supporting a food product. The tray comprises a sheet having first and second layers comprising one or more polyamides. The first layer of the sheet forms the tray inside surface. Where the first layer has a melting point, the second layer has a melting point of at least about 210° C. and at least 20° C. greater than the melting point of the first layer. Where the first layer has a glass transition temperature of less than about 120° C. measured at a 50% relative humidity, the second layer has a melting point of at least about 210° C.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7504158
    Abstract: A dual ovenable film having a first layer comprising one or more polyamides and a second layer comprising one or more polyamides. The first layer forms the first outer surface of the film. The second layer has a melting point of at least about 210° C. The film is capable of forming a water-containing package by providing two 4 inch by 6 inch sheets of the film each having four perimeter sides, placing the sheets in superimposed, coextensive arrangement having the first layers of the films in contact with each other, and heat sealing three perimeter sides of the sheets together using a ?-inch wide sealing bar at a temperature of 290° F., a dwell time of 0.5 seconds, and a sealing pressure of 40 psig to form an open pouch having heat seals along three of the four perimeter sides. The open pouch can be filled with 100 milliliters of distilled water at a temperature of 73° F.
