SELF-ABSORBING GAS-BARRIER THERMOFORMABLE SHEET AND RECEPTACLE FOR FOOD PACKAGING OBTAINED THEREFROM

摘要

A thermoformable laminate which comprises a structural support layer (1), a core gas-barrier layer (2), a core liquid absorbing layer (3), and a surface, heat-sealable layer (4), wherein the gas-barrier layer is positioned between the structural support layer and the core absorbing layer, and the core absorbing layer is positioned between the core gas-barrier layer and the surface heat-sealable layer. The new laminate can be shaped into a self-absorbing gas-barrier receptacle for food packaging and employed in the production of e.g. modified atmosphere package of food products wherein the fluids generated by the products are absorbed by the receptacle without using a separate absorbing pad.
