Abstract
A flexible tubular food casing having a flat support material is provided which, on at least one side, has a continuous coating based on a hotmelt polymer, with the coating preferably situated on the outside. The continuous coating has a weight per unit area of 3 to 200 g/m2, preferably 15 to 50 g/m2. The hotmelt polymers have an MVR value in the range of about 25 to 500 cm3 per 10 min, measured at 190° C. with a load of 2.16 kg. The flexible tubular food casing is suitable as a synthetic sausage casing for raw sausage, scalded-emulsion sausage or cooked-meat sausage.
Claims21
A single-layer or multilayer flexible tubular food casing comprising a coated, flat, textile support material comprising fibers, wherein the coating is a continuous layer comprising at least one linear hotmelt polymer having an MVR value in the range from 25 to 500 cm3 per 10 min, measured at 190° C. at a loading of 2.16 kg;
- said continuous coating layer applied directly onto the full surface of said support material, with individual fibers partly or completely enclosed by hotmelt polymer that penetrated into the textile support material, and
- said hotmelt polymer is polyester, polyolefin, polyvinylbutyral, polyamide, PVDC or a mixture thereof.
A single-layer or multilayer flexible tubular food casing comprising a coated, flat, textile support material comprising fibers, wherein the coating comprises at least one linear hotmelt polymer having an MVR value in the range from greater than 25 to 500 cm3 per 10 min, measured at 190° C. at a loading of 2.16 kg, applied directly onto the full surface of said support material, with individual fibers partly or completely enclosed by hotmelt polymer that penetrated into the textile support material, and
- wherein said casing comprises a glued, stitched or welded seam in linear or other form.
