Patent No. EP4008548 (titled "Barrier-Coated Cellulose-Based Substrate, Laminated Packaging Material And Packaging Container Comprising The Cellulose-Based Substrate") was filed by Tetra Laval & Finance on Nov 26, 2021. The application was issued on Jun 4, 2025.
A barrier-coated paper or cellulose-based substrate for packaging applications, comprising a base layer pre-coating, a barrier pre-coating, and a barrier deposition coating. The base layer pre-coating is applied by dispersion coating and provides a homogeneous surface for the barrier pre-coating. The barrier pre-coating is also applied by dispersion coating and is typically a vinyl alcohol polymer or copolymer. The barrier deposition coating is applied by vapour deposition and provides the primary barrier properties. The substrate is suitable for use in laminated packaging materials for liquid food products, particularly for aseptic packaging applications.
