PACKAGING MATERIAL HAVING ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES, A METHOD FOR PRODUCING AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to a packaging material having antimicrobial properties in form of a layered composite. The packaging material has a support layer with an outer surface and an inner surface intended for contacting the package contents. At least a part of the inner surface of the support layer is provided with a nanocomposite coating comprising zerovalent iron nanoparticles dispersed in a polymer matrix. The invention further relates to a method for producing a packaging material and to use of a nanocomposite containing zerovalent iron nanoparticles dispersed in a polymer matrix for producing a coating having antimicrobial properties on an inner surface of a support layer of the packaging material.
