Abstract:
The invention relates to use of polylactide (PLA) as an extruded polymer coating on paper or board intended for the production of containers and packages, which are heated in a stove or microwave oven. According to the invention a polyfunctional cross-linking agent, such as trialkyl isocyanureate (TAIC), is blended with PLA, and the extruded coating layer is subjected to cross-linking electron beam (EB) radiation. PLA may be used as such or blended with another biodegradable polyester such as polybutylene succinate (PBS). EB radiation has been found to improve adhesion of the coating to the paper or board substrate, heat-sealability of the coating, and heat- resistance of the finished containers and packages.

Abstract:
The invention relates to methods for lowering the melt viscosity and thereby improving heat-sealability of a polyester. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing a heat-sealed container or package from fibrous-based, polyester-coated packaging material, and a method for heat-sealing polyester. The solution according to the invention is subjecting polyester to electron beam (EB) radiation. The lowered melt viscosity allows a lower heat-sealing temperature, and permits sealing of polyester to an uncoated fibrous surface. The preferred polyester for the invention is polylactide, as such or as blended with another polyester.

Abstract:
Un método para mejorar la capacidad de termosellado de un poliéster, caracterizado por que una capa de revestimiento de poliéster que contiene polilactida (PLA) sobre un sustrato fibroso que comprende papel, cartulina o cartón se somete a la radiación con haz de electrones (EB), disminuyendo así la viscosidad en estado fundido del revestimiento.
Abstract:
Use de polilactida (PLA) para un recubrimiento polimérico extrudido sobre un sustrato fibroso, tal como papel o cartón, que comprende mezclar un agente de reticulación polifuncional con polilactida, y someter la capa de recubrimiento extrudidas a reticulación con radiación de haz de electrones (EB).
