Properties & Applications:
- Barrier properties*
- Puncture resistance is similar to products currently available on the market
- Resistant to oils and greases
- Inherent anti-static properties
- EU and FDA food contact approved
- Variety of transparent, coated or non-coated and grey or white metallised films available
- Can be used in a selection of dry food applications, such as crisps, cereal bars, nuts, chocolate, etc.
*Multilayers offer a variety of oxygen barrier and moisture barrier, with metallised structures offering OTR ~ 0.7 cc/m²day (conditions 23°C 50% RH - ASTM F 1927), WVTR ~ 0.5 – 1.5 g/m²day (conditions 38°C 90% RH - ASTM E 96) and excellent barrier properties to UV/visible light transmission
Sustainability:
- GM-free plant-based content of resultant materials ranges between 50-70%
- The films are compliant to European industrial composting standards, meaning that they disintegrate by 90% within 12 weeks and biodegrade by 90% to water, CO2 and biomass within 180 days
- Materials have been tested and proven to be non-toxic to both soil and plant life
Processing:
- Pouches can be easily printed using both conventional and digital print processes, allowing manufacturers to create highly decorated branding
- Excellent heat-sealable properties
