Aqueous latex of vinylidene chloride copolymer An aqueous latex [latex (L)] of a vinylidene chloride copolymer [copolymer (A)], wherein the copolymer (A) consists essentially of recurring units derived from vinylidene chloride (VDC) in an amount comprised between 89.0 and 91.0 wt % of the copolymer, recurring units derived from methacrylonitrile (MAN) in an amount comprised between 2.00 and 5.50 wt % of the copolymer, recurring units derived from at least one ionic comonomer (ICO) in an amount comprised between 0.5 and 1.4 wt % of the copolymer (A), and recurring units derived from methylmethacrylate (MMA) in an amount such that the total of recurring units of VDC, MAN, ICO and MMA is 100 wt %, and wherein the latex (L) comprises at least one surfactant [surfactant (S)] in an amount comprised between 0.09 and 1.50 wt % of the copolymer (A).
Process for the manufacture of the aqueous latex (L), film made therefrom and retort pouch prepared with such film.

Polymer or polymer inks are used for reducing or eliminating harmful chemicals by offering a neutralizing chemical in the path of movement of the harmful chemicals. A neutralizing chemical responsive to the harmful chemical produces a harmless chemical as an output that is in the path of the harmful chemical and is opposite phase with the neutralizing chemical, preferably by 180 degrees, or is at least opposite in chemical compatibility to some extent. The neutralizing chemical can be suspended or combined with an inert carrier and preferably attenuates the harmful chemical concentration. The polymer ink can be applied to a media such as paper, (embossed or extruded) or polymer the same as paper but also in foam (open cell preferred) in order to obtain a decrease in the concentration of harmful gases. These forms can be utilized in air or liquid applications.

The present invention relates to coated paper or paperboard comprising: a paper or paperboard substrate, and a solid closed cell foam coating layer disposed on a surface of said a paper or paperboard substrate, wherein said solid closed cell foam coating layer comprises a nanocellulose, and a foaming agent. The invention further relates to a food container, preferably a cup, comprising such coated paper or paperboard.
