Film for variety of package applications
- February 05, 2010
CINCINATTI, OH | Ampac Flexibles introduces Apex 7862 Barrier Tube, a film product that can be formed into an easy-to-seal, easy-to-open, single or sample-use tube package for a wide variety of healthcare, personal product and consumer applications.
Developed initially for single-use personal care product applications, the Apex Barrier Tube film, signified by BT after the product name, can be utilized by packagers for a wide variety of sample tube and single-use tube applications that require superior barrier properties for oxygen, the company reports. The film features a custom-blended 7- or 9-layer coextruded structure that is said to provide excellent oxygen transmission rates (OTR) and can be surface treated for printing or lamination. The sealant technology does not require radio frequency (RF) sealing, but has been designed with a broad seal range providing exceptional seal strength and durability for tube applications. Overall, the structure is said to be a lower cost, high-quality, easy-to-manage film that allows manufacturers to create a wide range of tube sizes and shapes.
