Cosmo Films introduces new barrier films

Some of the metalized barrier films include high moisture barrier films, high speed barrier films with hot tack, high seal strength barrier films and ultra-high barrier films.

The high moisture barrier films are corona treated on both sides and can be used for duplex as well as sandwich lamination in snack foods, shampoo sachets, dry milk powder and powdered drinks packs where loss of moisture is a concern.

The metalized moisture and oxygen barrier films include high speed barrier films with high hot tack and low SIT; high seal strength barrier films; and ultra-high barrier films used to substitute aluminum foil since they offer a MVTR and OTR less than 0.1 cc.

Some of the transparent barrier films include: aroma barrier films, typically used for coffee, tea, spices and perfume box over wrapping, amongst others; aroma and oxygen barrier films for packing biscuits, chocolates and snacks; and ultra-high barrier films that have moisture, aroma and gas barrier properties and are used to convert three layer laminates to two layers for packaging of aromatic and fat content rich products. These also offer mineral oil resistance.

S Satish, global head, sales and marketing, Cosmo Films, said: ‘We are excited to have these new additions to our barrier films range, especially the BOPP replacement to the aluminum foil. We are now confident of meeting most shelf life requirements of the food packaging industry with our extensive range of barrier films. All our barrier films also have good printability and hence can be used for monolayer applications also. With our extended range of specialty films and our customized innovation focus, we are confident of meeting the new emerging packaging challenges such as shelf life extension and reduced plastic consumption.’
