Abstract: The invention discloses a heat sealable multilayer polyester based film that form hermetic and peelable seals onto polyester containers and their use in food packaging.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method, to a biodegradable film and to a package for cheese ripening or preservation, in particular for ripening hard or semi-hard cheese, preferably rind cheese. This method, thanks to the peculiar transmission properties of the film, provides cheese more similar to naturally ripened cheese, with a minor loss of water, due to evaporation, with reduced mold and yeast growth, and without significant flavor, consistency and color deviations.

Abstract: The invention discloses a heat sealable coextruded multilayer polyester based lidding film that forms hermetic and easy opening seals onto polyester containers and its use in food packaging.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a polymer blend and to multilayer heat shrinkable films containing at least a layer made of said polymer blend, to flexible containers made of said film, such as bags, pouches and the like, useful for packaging articles, in particular food items. The invention also relates to a process for the manufacturing of such multilayer heat shrinkable films.

Abstract: The present invention relates to anti-odour packaging films and to packages made therefrom. In particular, the present invention relates to anti-odour multilayer gas barrier films including specific anti-odour compounds in at least in one inner layer. These anti-odour films are particularly suitable for food packaging, especially poultry packaging.

Abstract: A polymer blend comprises a propylene-based homopolymer or copolymer in an amount of from 75 to 95 weight percent, and an olefin block copolymer (OBC) in an amount of from 5 to 25 weight percent, based total blend weight. The polymer blend, and films having outer printed layers containing the blend, provide enhanced ink abrasion resistance. The OBC is an ethylene/?-olefin copolymer having hard and soft segments. Multilayer film made using the blend can be used for food packaging, and may optionally be heat shrinkable.

Abstract: A multilayer heat-shrinkable film comprises: a) an outer heat sealable layer; b) a layer comprising a blend of (i) ethylene homopolymer and/or ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer, and (ii) ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer; c) an internal gas-barrier layer; and d) a layer comprising a blend of (iii) at least one member selected from the group consisting of acrylate-based resin and acrylic acid-based resin, with (iv) at least one member selected from the group consisting of ethylene homopolymer, ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer and adhesive material.

Abstract: A multilayer heat-shrinkable film comprising: a) an outer heat sealable layer b) at least one layer comprising a blend of ethylene homopolymer and/or ethylene alfa olefin copolymers and ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, c) at least one internal gas-barrier layer, and d) at least one layer comprising a material selected from the group consisting of acrylate-based resin and acrylic acid-based resin, and blends thereof with ethylene homopolymer and/or ethylene/alpha-olefin (E/AO) copolymer and/or adhesive materials and flexible packaging containers made therefrom.

Abstract: An RF sealable composition and film is provided in which the composition and film includes a blend of an ethylene/alpha-olefin and an ethylene acrylate copolymer. The composition and resulting film has a dielectric loss factor of at least 0.02 and is capable of being radio frequency sealed. Films in accordance with the invention provide RF seals having peel strengths on the order of 500 g/in or greater. In a further aspect, a film is provided having at least one exterior layers that comprises a blend of an ethylene/alpha-olefin copolymer and an ethylene acrylate copolymer. Suitable ethylene acrylate copolymers for use in the invention include of ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), ethylene butyl acrylate (EBA), and ethylene methyl acrylate (EMA).

Abstract: The sealability of a thermoplastic, mono- or multi-layer film having an irradiated sealing layer comprising a polyethylene and/or an ethylene-x-olefin copolymer with a density ≧0.915 g/cm3 is improved by corona treating said sealing layer. The integrity of the obtained sealed container is maintained under pasteurizing or cook-in conditions.

Abstract: The invention refers to a thermoplastic, multi-layer, heat-shrinkable film having a sealing layer comprising a blend of a propylene co-polymer or ter-polymer with from about 5 to about 40% by weight of an EPDM elastomer. The film also comprises a core gas-barrier layer, preferably comprising EVOH, and an outer abuse layer, typically comprising a polyolefin or a polyamide. The film is converted into containers, such as bags or pouches, by sealing it to itself and employed for cook-in and pasteurization applications. With the new films it is possible to better control the decay with aging of the seal strength of the factory seals of these containers.
