International Classification:

B05D 136

US Classification:

427411, 4273855, 427395, 4274071

Abstract:

Recyclable and repulpable coated paper stock, preferably for use as ream wrap, comprising a substrate coated on at least one surface with a base coat and at least one additional coat over said base coat. Both coats are water based dispersions of a polymer selected from the group consisting of acrylic polymers, acrylic copolymers, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol, ethylene-vinyl acetate, polyvinyl chloride, styrene butadiene copolymers, polyvinylidiene chloride and its copolymers, or starch. The wax free coating forms a pin-hole free continuous film on the substrate which is resistant to water and water vapor. The invention also includes processes for making and recycling the invented coated paper stocks.

International Classification:

A21D 1002

US Classification:

426106

Abstract:

A blank for a paperboard container is provided on one of its surfaces with a layer of food-contacting polymethylpentene. The container formed from the blank, as by bending the blank along fold lines, requires one or more overlapped joints such as the usual manufacturer's joint. To overcome the non-stick properties of the polymethylpentene layer, the layer is flame treated so that it will adhere to a conventional water based, FDA approved adhesive and thereby make possible the formation of a seam or other overlapped joint or joints. Flame treatment is restricted to portions of the area of the polymethylpentene layer that are involved in the formation of the overlapped joint or joints.

International Classification:

B05D 138

US Classification:

427391

Abstract:

Recyclable and compostable coated paper stock comprising a substrate coated on at least one surface with a primer coat and a top coat both of which are water based dispersions. The primer coat comprises a water based dispersion of a polymer selected from the group comprising acrylic polymers, acrylic copolymers, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol, poly-ethylene vinyl acetate, poly-ethylene vinyl chloride, styrene butadiene copolymers, polyvinylidiene chloride or starch. The top coat comprises a water based dispersion of a polymer selected from the group comprising acrylic polymers, acrylic copolymers, styrene butadiene copolymers or polyvinylidiene chloride. In another embodiment the top coat further includes a wax component comprising 15-90 wt. % of the polymer and 5-85 wt. % of the wax.

US Classification:

428 35

Abstract:

An ink-printed ovenable food container is prepared by (a) printing a layer of paperboard with an ink containing a sulfonated polyester pigment binder, (b) coating the resultant ink-printed paperboard with an unpigmented composition containing a sulfonated polyester, (c) coating the resultant ink-printed and sulfonated polyester coated paperboard with a polyester resin sealing coating, and (d) forming the resultant polyester resin sealed paperboard into a container.

Assignee:

International Paper Co. - New York NY

International Classification:

H05B 664

US Classification:

219 1055E

Abstract:

A microwave ovenable package including a layer of material that will convert a portion of the microwave energy to heat and a layer of paperboard interposed between the energy-converting layer and the food in the package which is to be cooked and browned. The energy-converting layer may be carried on a plastic film, the latter being adhered to the side of the paperboard layer which does not contact the food. An additional layer of paperboard may be used to sandwich the energy-converting layer and the plastic film between layers of paperboard. The heat from the energy-converting layer provides a surface heating effect on the food such as browning, crisping, or singeing. The presence of the paperboard layer between the energy-converting layer and the food prevents contamination of the food which might otherwise occur due to the degradation of the plastic in those cases where the microwave cooking causes the energy-converting layer to reach a temperature higher than intended.

US Classification:

Abstract:

An ovenable food tray for cooking foodstuffs, such as frozen foodstuffs, in an oven of either the microwave or conventional type. The tray is formed from a flat, unitary laminate blank by deforming the blank in any conventional male and female die apparatus under pressure and heat. The laminate includes a food contacting PET bi-axially oriented film coating adhered to a paperboard base stock by means of a crosslinkable adhesive. The use of such a coating and such an adhesive formulation permits use of the tray in oven temperatures to about 400 degrees F. without delamination of the coating from the paperboard or cracking of the coating.
