FIBRE-REINFORCED TUBULAR CASING FOR FOODSTUFFS, ESPECIALLY SAUSAGES, AND PROCESS FOR ITS MANUFACTURE

摘要

Disclosed is a tubular casing comprising a fiber-reinforced regenerated cellulose wherein the fiber-reinforcement comprises a fiber web comprising first and second edge regions, parallel to the longitudinal axis, which are overlapped and bonded to form a tube; an impregnation layer of a thermoplastic synthetic resin applied on the entire inwardly-facing surface of the fiber-reinforcement and present in a weight per unit area of less than about 50 g/m2, the impregnation layer comprising the bond for the edge regions; and a regenerated cellulose surface on the outer surface of the fiber-reinforcement. Also disclosed is a process for manufacturing the tubular casing.
