Formable Solid Bleached Board

Formable Solid Bleached Board

Inverform is a multi layered solid bleached board (SBB) product, entirely based on fresh fibres. Specific fibre compositions are used for the various layers in the construction to optimise performance. The outer layers are dominated by hardwood fibres to promote smoothness and printability. The middle layer consists of softwood fibres for strength, flexibility and formability.

Product description

Inverform with a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) extrusion coating has been specially developed for ready-made food packaging. With its exceptional formability and product consistency Inverform + PET is very well suited for pressed and dual-ovenable trays that works both in microwave or a conventional oven for both chilled and frozen food.

The PET coating is ideal when temperature resistance is important, and it also acts as a fat and moisture barrier. The PET coating is heat sealable and works with different types of lidding materials. Black, white and transparent versions of PET coatings are available upon request.

PET Properties

Tolerances Methods/Remarks
Added grammage (g/m²) 40 +/- 5% ISO 536
Added thickness (µm) 29 +/- 5% Calculated value
Surface smoothness (µm) ≤2.7 - ISO 8791
Adhesion 6 ≥ 5 Internal
Pin holes (no/m²) 0 ≤ 4 PTN 8-70 (modified)

Regarding adhesion, the scale is 1–6. (6 = the best possible adhesion on the concerned surface).

Holmen recommends a maximum 1 (one) year time limit, from delivery, for board in storage.

For paperboard with barriers or foil lamination the recommended storage time is no longer than 6 (six) months due to declining effect of any surface treatments.

The above recommendations are only valid if the product is stored in its original wrapping.

Test method

All properties are measured in test climate 23°C/50% RH at Iggesund mill. Tolerances and max/min levels, when stated, are based upon 95% confidence interval within each production run.
