Pentafood BPET film range

The Pentafood film product line has been extended to include Pentafood BPET films. The films are claimed to offer outstanding thermoforming, better cutting and no brittleness.

A lower thermoforming temperature is required with the films, saving energy. Designed to be used in conditions as cold as -20°C, the films can be used for frozen food applications.

Suitable for deep-draw, tray and blister thermoformed applications, the films are offered in mono- and multilayer structures of BPET, BPET/PE and BPET/EVOH/PE, as well as BPET light films.

Available in a wide range of barriers to moisture, gas and aromas, Pentafood BPET films have good sealing properties and multiple sealant options, such as permanent or easy-peel seals. Sealants that enable sealing through contaminants are also available.

The films are offered in a range of standard opaque colours, are suitable for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) and run on standard thermoforming and form/fill/seal equipment.

All Pentafood BPET films comply with respective EU regulations and directives, as well as the applicable national legislations and international standards.

Pentafood light BPET films reduce package weight while maintaining physical properties comparable to standard materials, the company says. The films reportedly offer greater than 30% density reduction compared to non-foamed PET products. Their scratch-resistant surface and enhanced denesting provide additional benefits.

These light films are designed to be used in conditions as cold as -40°C for frozen food applications. As with standard Pentafood BPET films, they offer high production efficiency, superior formability and cost savings, the company claims. They are available in mono- and multilayer structures with PE and EVOH/PE.
