Jindal Films Displays New PP Mono-Material Solutions to Help Replace Pet-Based Laminates at Interpack 2023
Jindal Films (Hall 9 Stand F26), a global leader in the development and manufacture of specialty films for the flexible packaging and labeling markets, will showcase during Interpack 2023 various print, barrier and sealing OPP technologies designed to facilitate the switch from non-recyclable laminates (i.e. containing PET, Alu-foil, Paper …) towards mono-material mechanically recyclable PP based laminates for flexible packaging markets.
PET FILM REPLACEMENT WITH IMPROVED HEAT RESISTANCE BICOR OPP FILMS
To address demanding packaging applications, improved heat resistant OPP films were developed to address the recycling needs of the flex-pack industry by substituting non-recyclable PET films as outer webs. Jindal Films has successfully launched a breakthrough technology with Bicor 12MB100, a very thin very high stiffness OPP film with very low shrink for broad PET replacement applications to help brand owners continue their packaging “light-weighting” journey while ensuring a robust print conversion including with rotogravure processes.
For more specialized applications when designing PP-based retort barrier laminates, Bicor 25MR100 and 25MR103 are being proposed as print outer webs. MR100 & MR103 were designed to help minimize the shrinkage and visual distortion during both the heat sealing step and the steam autoclave sterilization steps.
Both MB100 and MR100 are one-side treated for good print receptivity with the opposite side having a non-heat sealable surface to act as a drop-in replacement for non-sealable PET films, such as in stand-up pouches. MR103 is 2 side treated to facilitate the use of an over-print varnish or improve date code adhesion.
LIVE DEMOS – PP MONO-MATERIAL SOLUTIONS FOR VFFS & HFFS MACHINES
At Interpack, five leading machinery suppliers will be displaying all PP recyclable laminates using Jindal Films’ unique technology based on BICOR 12MB100. In total there will be 10 packaging machines running live demonstrations during the tradeshow across 3 packaging formats:
1. MARCHESINI GROUP (Hall 15 A42-2) will run a multi-lane stick pack VFFS machine (Model MT1500) using a high barrier PP based 3-ply laminate produced by FLESSOFAB (www.flessofab.it ) with Bicor MB100, Metallyte MM883 and a low SIT cast PP sealable film
2. WOLF Verpackungsmaschinen GmbH (Hall 6 C31) will run three VFFS machines using either a metallized or clear high barrier PP 3-ply laminate produced by WIPF AG (Hall 9 E03), based on Bicor MB100, Metallyte MM883 or Alox-Lyte AO893 in combination with a low SIT cast PP
3. SYNTEGON (Hall 5 A31-B31) will operate three high speed HFFS flow-wrap machines using a PP based 2-ply laminate produced by FOLIEN + DRUCK (www.foliendruck-lang.de) with Bicor MB100 and Bicor MBH668.
4. PFM (Hall 13 A03) will operate a high speed HFFS flow-pack machine (BORA D6596) using a PP based 2-ply barrier laminate produced by SDR Pack (Hall 9 D01) with Bicor MB100 & Metallyte MLB.
5. IMA – EUROSICMA (Hall 17 C22) will run two high speed HFFS machines using 2-ply PP based barrier laminates produced by SIT Group (Hall 10 A68) with Bicor MB100 and Metallyte MLB.
Jindal Films is working on broadly implementing PP mono-material recyclable solution across all packaging formats. Packaging for our Planet!
