The flexible PA/PE/SURLYN® medium barrier composite film has been especially developed for the production of cooked ham. Its SURLYN® sealing layer is responsible for the preparation of perfectly cooked ham and an excellent presentation at the POS. SURLYN® is based on ionomers composed of ethylene methacrylic acid copolymers. The ionic crosslinks are reversible as they dissolve at usual processing temperatures and form again during the cooling phase. This type of film therefore has both excellent shrinking properties and meat adhesion. Excellent meat adhesion The meat is cooked for several hours at a temperature of 76°C. During this cooking process the PA/PE/SURLYN® medium barrier composite film develops a bond with the ham (meat adhesion). In contrast to pure polyethylene, the meat adhesion of this film can be influenced within certain limits by the selection of the SURLYN® type used. Adhesion to the product is determined by its different acidity. The excellent meat adhesion of...
