Abstract
Retortable packaging is made entirely with polymeric materials. The improved heat sealable structure has an inner heat seal layer of linear low density polyethylene. The second or adjacent layer is linear low density polyethylene with an optional 0% to 80% medium density polyethylene blended into it. A third layer is anhydride modified medium density polyethylene. Fourth, fifth and sixth layers respectively are nylon, ethylene vinyl alcohol and nylon. An optional layer between the second and third layers is at least 20% linear low density polyethylene and up to 80% medium density polyethylene. The entire multiple layer structure is firmly adhered together so that the layers mutually support each other in the unitary package.
