Biodegradable fiber reinforced starch based article, useful for the packaging of food, is at least partially coated with a material that is irradiated to form a hardenable or hardened film.

摘要

A biodegradable molded article (I) is a composite based on starch and a biodegradable fibrous material and is characterized in that the article (I) is at least partially coated whereby the coating is irradiated at a wavelength range of 10-400 nm to form a hardenable or hardened film. An independent claim is included for a process for the production of the molded article (I) by application of a film forming material in a solvent on to the article and hardening the material at a wavelength of 10-400 (200-350) nm.
