We
offer a range of retort films that are used in the industry of
retortable packaging, where the products are cooked inside their
package while their production process. This industry is one of the
most blooming in Europe and is becoming very popular in North
America. Our range of retort films is used for various products such
as pet food, spices, MRE's and many others.
To
withstand the retort chambers requirements, we offer specialized
retort films that comprise the larger section of the packaging
structures such as Cast Polypropylene (CPP) and Polyester (PET) -
higher heated resistance Nylon (BOPA). These are explained as
follows:
Cast
Polypropylene (CPP) It
is an easy-tear film that acts as the sealant layer of the laminated
structure. These retortable cast polypropylene films are widely used
for retortable applications. CPP films are known to possess superior
bond strength, seal strength and overall performance as compared to
others available in the marketplace.
Apart
from standard retort films, we also offer directional easy tear films
that offers additional consumer friendly packaging. All these films
keep excellent seal integrity before as well as after the retort
process.
The
"easy tear" film offers the converter & the end user
with the facility of tearing straight at low propagation forces. This
enables the package to be easily opened without the need of costly
laser scoring. As per customers’ requirements, the thicknesses of
these films can be customized. The standard range offered by us
includes:
- Sealant
layer films 50 micron (2 mil) to 150 micron (6 mil)
- Lidding
films 70 micron (2.8 mil)
PET Polyester
is usually used on the outside layers. The polyester films offered by
us possess normal heat resistance and other enhanced properties. In
general, these films are supplied in 48 gauge (12 micron) or 92 gauge
(23 micron) thickness.
Nylon Nylon
has excellent strength and barrier properties. Our biaxially oriented
nylon films also known as BOPA are available in 2 versions blown and
tenter-framed. The blown version offers extra balanced properties in
TD and MD. The other tenter-framed version is preferred for laminate
as it has superior layflat (planarty). BOPA is available in thickness
range of 48 gauge (12 micron), 60 gauge (15 micron) and 100 gauge (25
micron). If demanded by our customers, we offer the option of 2-sided
corona treatment.
