Latest Patents
Sven Andrèn holds a patent for a transparent gas barrier packaging laminate. This invention relates to a laminate that possesses the required bending stiffness, comprising outer layers of heat-sealable polyolefin and two polymer carrier layers, each coated with a SiOx gas barrier layer. The unique design allows for the two polymer carrier layers to be laminated together using an intermediate polymer layer, which is relatively stiff and thicker compared to the surrounding layers. The required stiffness is achieved through the I-beam interaction between the carrier layers and the intermediate layer. The thickness of the intermediate polymer layer constitutes approximately 30% to 55% of the total thickness of the packaging laminate. This invention also encompasses packaging containers, such as pouches, made from the laminate and outlines a method for manufacturing it.
