(Food Production Daily) --
RPC Bramlage Food presented a new plastic pack at Interpack – manufactured with
barrier multi-layer injection moulding and designed to rival glass and cans in
the market for long shelf life products. The multilayer polypropylene (PP) pack is being marketed as a low cost
alternative to glass for storing sensitive products like ready meals or
pate.
RPC claims the new pack can extend the shelf life of a food product to
between 12 and 24 months – depending on the food and the preservation technique
used. Sterilisation, pasteurisation and heat sealing are all compatible with the
new packaging.
The new technology is achieved by simultaneous injection of skin and core
layers creating pack walls with an EVOH barrier layer surrounded by PP measuring
0.4mm in thickness.
