Metallized BOPP

The co. announces its first commercial volumes of bi-axially oriented PPE high-barrier metallized film for packaging applications. The co. assumed a leadership role in TFE’s expansion into packaging film, driving the development and commercialization of Torayfan metallized heat-sealable and nonsealable high-oxygen-barrier and high-moisture-barrier films, especially for foil-replacement applications. The first sale of the metallized BOPP for snack, cookie, cracker, and confection film applications was in February 2010.
