Jindal Films launches BOPP barrier films

Jindal Films Europe has expanded its BOPP film portfolio with several new grades targeting mono-material PP packaging applications across liquid packaging, flow-pack formats and dry product markets, as brand owners accelerate the shift from non-recyclable laminates ahead of PPWR compliance requirements.

Two new films, Metallyte 18MML883 and Alox-Lyte 18AOL893, have been developed for three-ply laminates in liquid packaging, covering cold-fill, hot-fill and pasteurized applications as well as aseptic beverages and targeting condiments, sauces, juices and fruit and vegetable purees. The films offer improved barrier performance compared with current vacuum-coated grades.

Bicor 25 and 30MBH568 have been developed for high-speed horizontal form-fill-seal flow-pack formats, primarily for biscuits and baked goods. The transparent PP mono-material film uses thin water-based coatings to deliver seal performance and medium-range barrier performance, with a water vapor transmission rate of 3 and an oxygen transmission rate of 10. The film conforms to the new CEN EN 18120-7 design-for-recycling standard, issued in April 2026 and can replace PVdC-coated films or laminates that use other clear barrier technologies as a single web.
