Demanding VFFS formats usually resort to 3-ply nonmechanically recyclable laminates such as PET/ALU/
PE. They can now be replaced with 3-ply PP-based
laminates using higher performance OPP films to
deliver improved recyclability and conform to CEFLEX
design guidelines in Europe.
An MB100/MM883/CPP 3-ply laminate is ideal for
applications for most demanding powder food or
beverage applications requiring a recyclable PP
mono-material solution that was previously in nonrecyclable constructions (e.g. PET/ALU/PE, PET/
Met-PET/PE, Paper/ALU/PE).
BICOR™ MB100 is a very thin transparent non
heat sealable OPP film with improved heat
stability (low shrinkage) and very high Modulus
for optimal machinability during conversion (e.g.
rotogravure print) and on VFFS machines
Metallyte™ MM883 is a transparent ultra high
barrier (UHB) vacuum metallized film with high
optical density delivering great moisture barrier
(WVTR 0.1) and great oxygen barrier (OTR 0.1)
along with excellent light protection (OD 2.8)
A low SIT cast PP is recommended in
combination with an improved heat stable outer
web to help transition away from more heat
stable PET-ALU based structures
