High barrier films are specialised packaging materials intended to shield products from outside elements that can impair their quality or shelf life. These films are intended to act as an efficient barrier against substances including moisture, oxygen, light, and fragrance, protecting the packaged items’ integrity.
They are especially important in sectors like food packaging, pharmaceuticals, and electronics where product safety and preservation are top priorities.
In blister packaging or pouches, high barrier films are utilised to establish a safe environment for the medications, extending their shelf life and maintaining their medicinal efficacy.
High barrier films, which are often made up of several layers and include components like metallized films or ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH), are frequently used by manufacturers.
TIPA recently collaborated with Aquapak on a similar initiative, leveraging their water-soluble polymer technology to develop high-barrier, PVDC-free compostable sheets.
TIPS also claims that its new design can survive the corrosive qualities of salt and oil from the crisps and nuts it is planned to package.
Because of its high tensile strength at break (TSB) and strong barrier to gas, FLEXPET F-PGB-12 has exceptional machinability and handling qualities.
To strengthen its barrier qualities, the film does not require any coating or co-extrusion of polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) or ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH).
The Global high barrier films market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
Flexible packaging business UFlex’s worldwide film manufacturing division, Flex Films, introduced its brand-new, patented BOPET high barrier film F-UHB-M, which is intended to take the role of aluminium foil in flexible packaging applications.
F-UHB-M, which will be produced in Flex Films’ Kentucky facility and distributed globally, will address issues facing the converting sector, which has relied on aluminium foil for packaging for a long time despite a number of its drawbacks, such as its scarcity, high cost, lack of strength, propensity for pinhole formation while in use, and difficulty recycling.
F-UHB-M has one of the lowest oxygen and moisture barrier values thanks to its newly developed, carefully formulated bi-axially oriented, polyester (BOPET) structure, which offers exceptional gas and water barrier.
