Our new super barrier laminates have been developed with the aim of achieving oxygen, water vapour, and UV barrier properties similar to values that you achieve from applying a layer of aluminium foil in the laminate. This also means that the barrier properties are significantly better than to any other conventional non-aluminium barrier laminate such as EVOH, OPA, and PVCD. The barrier layer is made by combining an oxide treatment with a special barrier top coating, which is applied to the laminate’s polyester layer. The polyester layer is then laminated to a sealing layer which could be CPP, PE ,or BOPP.
The super barrier laminates are available in various thicknesses from 32-120µ . All grades are approved for direct food contact and surface treated for easy printability.
Key benefits:
Increase the efficiency of your packaging - replace EVOH / PVDC / Alu foil - Use two layered laminates instead of three and reduce costs by 30% to 50%
- Retain the foil appearance with metallization
- Lower energy and material consumption
- Reduce packaging weight (cut emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2))
- Safer for the packaged product and safer for the consumer
- No chlorine gas emitted during combustion (as with PVDC coating)
Technological Advantages
By applying a colourless layer of aluminium oxides onto the film we obtain a transparent film with the same properties as a traditionally metallized film. Oxide coated films are characterised by:
- Excellent barrier properties
- Stability at high temperature and humidity
- No influence of UV rays
- Excellent transparency and clarity
- Microwave friendly
- No issues with metal detectors
- BRC compliant
Superior Barrier Performance
Oxide Coatings significantly out-perform other barriers in both OTR and WVTR performance:
