  • Nylon barrier board structure
    Publication number: 20080032075
    Abstract: A paperboard laminate useful for making gable top juice cartons is provided. The laminate provides for a high melting point polymer such as a semi-crystalline nylon to be applied directly to a board surface as an oxygen barrier layer. An anti-scalping layer is also provided by a polar polymer which is connected by a tie layer to an outermost skin coat layer. Positioned between the skin coat layer and the oxygen barrier layer are one or more bulk layers of polyolefins. The resulting laminate affords a juice carton which has good oxygen barrier and Vitamin C retention properties, is resistant to overactivation during heat sealing, has minimal scalping of d-limonene and essential oils, and has excellent bulge resistance.
