Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a food packaging container which is excellent in heat resis tance, heat insulation, lightness, rigidity, etc. and can be used in a microwave oven, by thermoforming a foamed sheet comprising a polyolefin resin and an inorganic filler at a specified weight ratio and having a specified expansion ratio. CONSTITUTION:99-50wt% polyolefin resin (e.g. polypropylene resin or an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer) is mixed with 1-50wt% inorganic filler (e.g., calcium carbonate or talc) and further mixed with a blowing agent (e.g., azodicarbonamide or bisisobutyronitrile). This mixture is extruded through a T die extruder or the like at a temperature near the decomposition tempera ture of the blowing agent to produce a foamed sheet of an expansion ratio >=1.1. The obtained foamed sheet is thermoformed to obtain the purpose con tainer for use in a microwave oven. When a precooked food is packaged with this container, it can be precooked by heating in a microwave oven without removing the container.

With the spread of microwave ovens, cooked foods and frozen foods have become widespread in ordinary households. These cooked foods are packaged in plastic film, but when thawing or reheating them in a microwave oven, the plastic film used for packaging has poor heat resistance, so they cannot be packaged in glass containers or XR"a. It took a lot of effort to transfer the food.Furthermore, the glass containers or ceramics themselves become hot after being cooked in the microwave, making handling difficult, especially in restaurants or in-flight meals where large amounts of food must be cooked at once.
