Staying fresh with metallised film

Food items such as crisps and snacks, bakery products, cookies and crackers that need to stay fresh for longer periods can benefit from ExxonMobil Chemical’s new vacuum-metallised, high barrier oriented polypropylene (OPP) film with a proprietary sealant layer that provides an excellent barrier to oxygen, moisture and light.

Metallyte 70 MET-HB2 film has enhanced barrier performance that makes it well-suited to vertical form fill seal (VFFS) and horizontal form fill seal (HFFS) packaging applications that keep the contents fresh for extended periods.

"With Metallyte 70 MET-HB2 film as the inner web of a lamination, the overall package barrier is similar to that achieved with converter-applied EVOH (ethylene vinyl alcohol) coextruded laminations, but the cost is less," said John Charbonneau, product manager, ExxonMobil Chemical.

The film maintains stable, craze-resistant barrier performance throughout the extrusion and adhesive lamination processes, and across the entire chain of use. It features a vacuum-deposited aluminium layer that provides a brilliant foil appearance and delivers an excellent lap seal range, seal integrity, and hot tack when used with a sealable coextruded outer web.
