Oxygen-barrier film

-- Packaging Digest, 11/1/2007

The OxyShield Plus is a mid-level, oxygen-barrier nylon/EVOH/nNylon biaxial-oriented film, which is engineered to resist solvents, oil and grease. According to the co., the film has good transparency and gloss, resists flex cracking and is easy to print and laminate. Introduced at this year's PACK EXPO, OxyShield Plus extends the co.'s OxyShield-oriented nylon barrier films for food and liquid packaging applications. The line includes the OxyShield in-line PVdC-coated BOPA, which is designed for enhanced oxygen and moisture barrier through such coating. Both developments are part of the co.'s business initiative to develop a complete line of nylon six-base films for all oxygen barrier needs
