Breathable packaging film having enhanced thermoformability

摘要

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 polyolefinic material. The films of the present invention are oxygen-permeable in that they exhibit an oxygen transmission rate of between 2-1000 cm³/100 in²/24 h.atm.
