Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of inner layer materials of yogurt cover films, in particular to a sealing cover film for a yogurt plastic cup. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the common packaging forms of yogurt on the market are mainly bottles, cups and bags. When the sealing cover of cup yogurt is opened before eating, a thick layer of milk cap will appear on the cover film. The milk cap is actually formed on the cover film when the yogurt is shaken back and forth in the cup.

[0003] The sealing capping films for cup yogurt on the market are mainly made of composite materials. The outer layer material is usually selected from materials with good mechanical strength, heat resistance, good printing performance, and good optical performance. The middle layer material is usually used to strengthen a certain characteristic of the composite structure, such as barrier properties, light-shielding properties, fragrance retention, strength and other properties. The most critical function of the inner layer material is sealing. The inner layer structure is in direct contact with the inner object, so it is required to be non-toxic, odorless, water-resistant and oil-resistant. At present, the inner layer material of the sealing capping film of cup yogurt often adopts the same structure as the general beverage cap, which mainly plays a sealing role on the bottle body. However, since the concentration of yogurt is greater than that of general beverages, residues are common after drinking, so the development of yogurt capping film that does not stick to yogurt has very important industrial application value.
