Single-layered, transparent, biaxially oriented, thermoset tubular food casing

摘要

A single-layered, transparent, biaxially oriented, thermoset tubular food casing, in particular a synthetic sausage casing, based on polyamide, containing a mixture of a) a linear, aliphatic polyamide, b) a partially aromatic copolyamide, c) an acid-modified polyolefin and d) a pigment of a particle size from 0.01 to 15 mu m results in a casing having outstanding properties such as excellent water vapor resistance and excellent UV and visible light impermeability. A process for the production of the food casing and the use thereof are also described.
