US patent US12752989

Films with retort-shock recovery

Abstract

A multilayer barrier film for food packaging comprises an outer layer comprising a retortable grade ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) copolymer; a sealing layer; and one or more inner layers located between the outer layer and the sealing layer. Excellent recovery of oxygen barrier post heat processing is achieved by these films and retortable containers made therefrom.
