Jindal Films launches new mono-material barrier film at CFIA 2024

Jindal Films will launch BICOR 25 and 30 MBH568 films during the CFIA tradeshow in Rennes, France. The new PP mono-material and PE mono-material are developed to help the industry implement packaging that is conforming to the new upcoming guidelines for mechanical recycling in Europe. 

Bicor MBH568 are clear barrier films designed to run as single webs at high speeds on HFFS packaging machines using a new barrier coating technology in combination with Jindal Films’ VLTS seal technology. MBH568 grades can be used to substitute films using PVdC coating as they provide equivalent WVTR, OTR, aroma barrier and are surface printable. 

This new film type provides high gloss, stable slip and barrier properties, high scuff resistance and additionally is resistant to alcohol spraying which is used for some baked goods packaging. 

Bicor MBH568 has higher stiffness than most barrier OPP films of equivalent thickness and can help end-user reduce further their virgin plastic usage for HFFS single web market segments. MBH568 films have a PP mono-material composition (≥ 95 percent polypropylene) that conform to the CEFLEX design guidelines for a circular economy.
