New BOPP film with improved thermal resistance

摘要

Innovia Films is launching a new film in its Propafilm™ range of transparent speciality pack aging films. CHS offers improved thermal resistance and shrinkage properties compared to conventional polypropylene films. It has been designed to substitute traditional outer web films in laminates for applications such as pouches and lidding in various food markets. Paul Watters, Product Development Manager Packaging, Innovia Films explains "With CHS, we have developed a BOPP film with enhanced functionality which allows the film to be used in new application areas. We have been particularly successful with the film's performance as the outer film of laminate structures used in retort pouch applications. In this application area there are a lot of mixed material laminates used and because of the drive towards simplified structures it is important to offer alternatives to the traditional films used and CHS is a part of this solution."
