Innovia Films RayoFloat white APO (WAPO) floatable shrink sleeves

Innovia Films has announced the extension of its product range for floatable polyolefin shrink films. The new film is a low-density white film made from polyolefin that maintains floatability when printed. The opaque film contributes to the light-blocking properties of the shrink sleeves that later can be applied to containers for industries that are light sensitive such as dairy, food supplements, nutritional products and cosmetics.

As with the clear film range, RayoFloat white APO (WAPO) facilitates easy separation and removal of labels from PET bottles and other types of plastic containers in the recycling process. It automatically detaches during sorting and recycling in the sink/float process and thus enables a high yield of high-quality PET flakes that are the basis of food grade recycling.

The film also supports a closed loop in the production facility and contains up to 20% post-industrial recycled content.

The film will be produced at the European Innovia site in Poland.
