The Effects of Retort Conditions on Clear High Barrier Laminated Structures, 2005 PLACE Conference
Retort packaging is rapidly developing as a flexible alternative to cans. The ability to offer packaging with see through qualities has spurred the growth of high barrier laminate films. The clear retort package also offers the advantage of microwaveability right in the pouch, offering consumers extra convenience. This paper will examine the barrier and interlaminate bond qualities before and after retort of several different clear, high barrier film laminates, as compared to conventional foil structures.
