Lidding film

A transparent, oriented polyester film, extrusion-coated with Allegro® M sealant, is said to seal aggressively through food product contamination. Known as Legato lidding film, it is offered as a lower-cost alternative with improved peelability for applications now using ionomer-based films for tough-to-seal needs. The co. also says that the film can be used to seal to rigid cup or tray structures including HIPS, PVC, APET and PP. Reportedly FDA-approved for direct food contact and suitable for frozen foods, the film is said to have good thermal and dimensional stability and microbial barrier as well as suitability for radiation sterilization, and excellent stress-crack-resistance. It also performs well in the presence of brine solution and residual food particulates.
