Toray Metallized BOPP Film Offers Barrier Features
- Published: April 18, 2013
NORTH KINGSTOWN, RI | Toray Plastics (America) announces Torayfan MWX6 metallized white cavitated biaxially oriented polypropylene film for high-performance film for gas-flushed packaging applications.
The film is designed with a proprietary "ultra-barrier" layer on one side that reportedly provides high moisture and oxygen barrier functionality and a hermetic, heat-sealable layer on the other side, and it can be used as a monoweb or a lamination and runs on horizontal and vertical f/f/s machines.
Company says film offers a bright white, glossy appearance and is available in 100 and 110 ga (1–1.1 mil). It is reported to be an excellent choice for packaging salty crisp snacks, baked goods, confectionery items, pet food, and refrigerated and frozen foods and can also be used for agricultural and chemical packaging.
