Abstract
Abstract A dual ovenable paperboard based structure which contains a food contact resin layer. The resin layer in direct contact with the ovenable food product exhibits superior food release properties, grease and oil resistance, and resistance to warpage even after extended periods of time following oven heating. The unique laminate is formed via coextrusion coating techniques on conventional coextrusion equipment at conventional temperatures. The resulting product has a high degree of adhesion between the paperboard and the polymethylpentene food contact layer, and is capable of being utilized for forming pressed or locked corner food trays which can be subjected to oven cooking temperatures.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
An ovenable paperboard laminate comprising: (a) paperboard substrate; and (b) a three layer sandwich coextrusion coated onto said substrate comprising: (i) a non-metallic polymeric oil and grease barrier resin layer in direct contact with said substrate; (ii) a chemically modified graft copolymer of polymethylpentene tie layer in contact with said barrier resin layer; and (iii) a polymethylpentene resin layer contacting said tie layer, wherein said polymethylpentene layer is in direct contact with ovenable food products and said layer exhibits superior food properties.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
82 words
An ovenable paperboard laminate comprising: (a) paperboard substrate; and (b) a three layer sandwich coextrusion coated onto said substrate comprising: (i) a non-metallic polymeric oil and grease barrier resin layer in direct contact with said substrate; (ii) a chemically modified graft copolymer of polymethylpentene tie layer in contact with said barrier resin layer; and (iii) a polymethylpentene resin layer contacting said tie layer, wherein said polymethylpentene layer is in direct contact with ovenable food products and said layer exhibits superior food properties.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
27 words
An ovenable paperboard laminate as claimed in claim 1, wherein said oil and grease barrier resin layer is polyamide resin, copolyamide resin, polyester resin, or copolyester resin.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
132 words
An ovenable paperboard laminate comprising: (a) a paperboard substrate; and (b) a five layer sandwich coextrusion coated onto said substrate comprising: (i) a first layer of polymethylpentene resin in direct contact with said substrate; (ii) a first layer of a chemically modified graft copolymer of polymethylpentene tie material in contact with said first polymethylpentene resin layer; (iii) a non-metallic polymeric oil and grease barrier resin layer in direct contact with said first tie layer; (iv) a second layer of a chemically modified graft copolymer of polymethylpentene tie material in contact with said oil and grease barrier resin layer; and (v) a second layer of polymethylpentene contacting said second tie layer wherein said second layer of polymethylpentene is in direct contact with ovenable food products and said layer exhibits excellent food release properties.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
132 words
An ovenable paperboard laminate comprising: (a) a paperboard substrate; and (b) a five layer sandwich coextrusion coated onto said substrate comprising: (i) a first layer of polymethylpentene resin in direct contact with said substrate; (ii) a first layer of a chemically modified graft copolymer of polymethylpentene tie material in contact with said first polymethylpentene resin layer; (iii) a non-metallic polymeric oil and grease barrier resin layer in direct contact with said first tie layer; (iv) a second layer of a chemically modified graft copolymer of polymethylpentene tie material in contact with said oil and grease barrier resin layer; and (v) a second layer of polymethylpentene contacting said second tie layer wherein said second layer of polymethylpentene is in direct contact with ovenable food products and said layer exhibits excellent food release properties.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
An ovenable paperboard laminate as claimed in claim 3, wherein said oil and grease barrier resin layer is a polyamide resin, copolyamide resin, polyester resin, or copolyester resin.
