Abstract

A flexible tubular food casing having a flat support material is provided which, on at least one side, has a continuous coating based on a hotmelt polymer, with the coating preferably situated on the outside. The continuous coating has a weight per unit area of 3 to 200 g/m2, preferably 15 to 50 g/m2. The hotmelt polymers have an MVR value in the range of about 25 to 500 cm3 per 10 min, measured at 190° C. with a load of 2.16 kg. The flexible tubular food casing is suitable as a synthetic sausage casing for raw sausage, scalded-emulsion sausage or cooked-meat sausage.
