Low odor packaging film with oriented structure and odor barriers

The patent application (Publication Number: US20230364891A1) describes a low odor packaging film that includes an oriented film with specific layers to reduce odor transmission. The film comprises an inner layer made of a multicomponent recyclate, positioned between a first and a second odor barrier layer. These odor barrier layers are made of materials with low oxygen transmission rates, such as polyamides or ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymers, to minimize the transmission of odors from the inner layer.
Additionally, the inner layer may contain a compatibilizer and an odorous derivative of caprolactam, with the odor barrier layers working to reduce the transmission of this derivative for a low odor profile. The multicomponent recyclate in the inner layer typically includes a polyamide and a polyolefin, like polyethylene or polypropylene, possibly with an ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer. The oriented film is stretched in the machine direction, resulting in improved properties such as reduced haze, increased gloss, and enhanced barrier performance. The patent also covers methods of producing such low odor packaging films, including using unseparated multicomponent recyclates for the inner layer to enhance sustainability.
