    Food Packaging technology

    BS-Final year
    18-march-2020
    Nylon
    ● High molecular weight polyamide
    ● Commonly known as Nylon
    ● Crystalline polymers produced by
    condensation polymerization of diacid
    and diamine.
    Types of Nylon
    Nylon 6
    •Nylo begins as pure caprolactum which is a ring structured molecules.
    •nCaprolactum is 6 carbon atom.
    •Due to which it is called as nylon 6.
    •During polymerization ring is open and polymerize itself.
    •Outstanding balance against mechanical properties.
    •Outstanding toughness in equilibrium.
    •Outstanding and chemical resistant and oil resistant.
    •Long term heat resistant
    •Low gasoline permeability
    •Highest rate of water absobtion.
    •Poor chemical resistant to strong acid

    Applications:Multilayers,packaging,food and medical


    covers/base,poch,and solid films.
    Nylon 12
    •Made up of aminolauric acid monomer.
    •It contains 12 carbons, 2 nitrogen and 2 amide group.
    •Lower moisture absobtion
    •Good to excellent resistant against grease,oils,,fuels,hydralic fluids.
    •Lowest strength
    •Lower heat resistant.

    Application: Sausage skin for precook sausage, deep frozen good.


    Nylon 66

    ●1, 6-hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid is the monomer


    of nylon 66.
    ●outstanding balance against mechanical properties
    ●outstanding toughness in equilibrium moisture content.
    ●Outstanding and chemical resistant and oil resistant.
    ●outstanding heat resistance (at long term continous maximum
    temeprature ranging between 80C-150C.
    ●high water absoption
    ●poor chemical resistant to strong acids and bases.

    ●Applications:packaging meat and cheese,industrial end


    uses,stiff packages ,snack ,condiments ,shredded cheese and
    Nylon 66/610
    ● it is a copolymer made from hexamethylenediamine ,adipic acid
    and sebaic acid.
    ● Applications:flexible packaging for food stuff and medical
    packaging.
    Nylon 6/12
    ● high impact strength
    ● good resistant to grease
    ● high abrasion resistance ,even
    when runing dry.
    ● Applications:Multilyers food
    packaging
    Amorphous polyamide
    ● known as Nylon 6-3-T.
    ● give to increase the crystallinity to polymer structure.
    ● the tertiary butyl group attached to the amine molecules is bulky and
    disrupts this molecules stability to crystallize.
    ● crystal clear high optical transparency
    ● high mechanical stability
    ● high heat deflection temperature
    ● high impact strength
    ● good chemical resistant compared to other plastic
    ● good electrical properties
    ● low mold shrinkage

    ● Applications:multilayer fleaxable film in meat and cheese packages


    Ethylene -vinyl Alcohol
    ● it is copolymer of ethyline and vinyl alcohol.
    ● these materials are high crystalline
    ● produced from various levels of ethylene content.
    ● antistatic property
    ● Luter and transperancy
    ● printability
    ● resistant to oils and organic solvents
    ● weather resistant
    ● premeablity

    ● Applications:edible oils,juice and cosmatics


    ● ,pharma industries,heating pipes,packaging for condiments
    Biodegradable packaging
    Biodegradable packaging
    ● made from renewable sources such as corn,wood,oats.
    ● metabolize by microbes present in environment
    ● some petroleum based polymer are also biodegradable but this
    process takes long time.
    ● this petroleum based polymers contributes to global warming
    because it release carbon dioxide.
    Types
    Polylactic acid.(100%) biodegradable)
    Cellophane
    Polycaprolactum
    polyhydroxyalkanotes
    polyanhydriedes
    pCCp(bis-carboxyphenoxypropane)
    polyglycolic acid
    Polylactic acid
    ● 100% biodegradable.
    ● made from corn starch and sugarcane.
    ● PLA is thermoplastic
    ● high strength
    ● bacterial fermentation is used to make lactic acid
    ● which converts into lactide dimer to remove the water.
    Application:loose fill packaging,compost bags
    Ethyl cellulose
    ● Similar to structure of cellulose and cellulose
    acetate.
    ● some of hydroxyl functional group are replaced on
    the cellulose by ethoxy group.
    Applications
    ● pharmaceutical application ,cosmatic,nail
    polish,vitamine coating,printing ink and food
    packaging.
    Polycaprolactone
    ● PCL is biodegradable polyesters with a low melting point of around
    60C and a glass transition temperature about -60C.
    ● prepared by ring opening polymerization of E-caprolactone using a
    catalyst such as stannous octanonate.
    ● used in drug encapsulation.
    ● PCL is mixed with starch to obtain a good biodegradable material at
    low price.
    Application
    ● trash bags
    ● PCL has been widely used in long-term implants and controlled drug
    release applications.
