Jindal Films provides PP mono-material solutions with a broad range of films – printable, barrier and heat sealable – to help brand-owners and converters launch their multi-material flexible packaging laminates on a journey towards a more sustainable future, feeding the RPP recycling streams being progressively implemented across Europe. OPP films provide the best balance of properties to maintain all the key essential packaging functions, such as stiffness, heat resistance, barrier, heat seal and optical properties. Specific OPP films are commercially available for the 3 main functionalities of flexible laminates: PRINTABILITY, BARRIER and HEAT SEALABILITY.
• PRINT WEB: Some of the most demanding packaging formats and product segments are using paper, oriented PET films or other harder to recycle substrates in laminate forms. To replace Paper or PET films, OPP films are available with a broad range of features. Typically compatible with most printing and lamination processes.
• BARRIER WEBS:
For sensitive products, many barrier laminates still use thin Aluminum foils or vacuum coated PET films (clear coated or metallized) that are non-recyclable when combined with printable or sealable polyolefin films. Outstanding moisture, gas, aroma and mineral oil barriers can be delivered with OPP films, usually also resulting in improved mechanical properties such as puncture or flex-crack resistance.
• HEAT SEAL WEBS:
Many demanding packaging applications use blown or cast polyethylene heat seal films that contribute to strong pack integrity. Cast PP or enhanced seal BOPP films can be used to shift the final laminate composition towards a PP mono-material composition. OPP films provide enhanced mechanical properties (e.g. stiffness, puncture resistance) over blown or cast films, to help significantly down-gauge the sealant webs and provide additional features like easy tear from a notch or from a crimp-seal.
