Definitions
- This invention relates generally to thermoplastic laminates for packaging food and other products.
- thermoplastic films or laminates it is common practice to package articles such as food products in thermoplastic films or laminates to protect the product to be packaged from abuse and exterior contamination, and to provide a convenient and durable package for transportation and ultimate sale to the end user.
- thermoplastic film In the field of packaging food and non-food liquid and/or flowable food and non-food products, a convenient method of packaging such products in thermoplastic film has been developed and is generally known as a form/fill/seal process.
- a tube is formed from thermoplastic film and an end seal is made by transversely sealing across the tube with heated seal bars to form a conveniently wide heat seal and, consequently, producing a bag or pouch ready to receive a product.
- the bag or pouch After the heat seal is made, the bag or pouch is filled and then another transverse heat seal is made across the width of the tube in a relatively wide band. After cooling, this seal is transversely severed to separate the filled bag or pouch from the next bag or pouch to be filled.
- one wide band seal serves as a first seal for one bag and a second seal for another.
- a machine for making pouches in a vertical form/ fill/ seal machine is described in United States Patent No. 4,506,494, incorporated herein by reference in its entirety, which issued on March 26, 1985 to Mamoru Shimoyama et al.
- Shimoyama et al. a vertically held tube with a bottom end that has been closed by a transverse heat seal is filled with a liquid, semiliquid, or paste charge or contents and squeeze rollers spaced apart and above the bottom end seal squeeze the filled tube and pinch the walls of the flatted tube together.
- squeeze rollers spaced apart and above the bottom end seal squeeze the filled tube and pinch the walls of the flatted tube together.
- the film moves downwardly to be contacted by cooled clamping and severing bars which clamp the film therebetween and are provided with a cutting knife to sever the sealed film at about the midpoint of the seal so that approximately half of the seal will be on the upper part of a tube and the other half on the lower.
- the squeeze rollers are separated to allow a new charge of product to enter the flattened tube after which the aforementioned described process is repeated thus continuously producing vertically form /fill /sealed pouches which have a bottom end and top end heat seal closure,
- metal clips can be used to close the tubular film at each end of the tube.
- Horizontal and vertical form-fill-seal equipment is commonly used in many packaging applications.
- the instant invention is directed to a laminate comprising a core layer comprising an oxygen barrier polymer; a heat sealable layer comprising a homogeneous ethylene alpha-olefin copolymer; an outer abuse-resistant polymeric layer; and an intermediate layer disposed between the core layer and each of the heat sealable layer and the outer layer, and comprising a polymeric adhesive.
