New high-barrier film from Toppan Printing which uses recycled PET.
07/09/2014
Toppan Printing Co, Ltd. has developed a version of its transparent high-barrier film, GL Film that uses mechanically recycled PET film. It is expected to be used for products that require barrier packaging, such as food and pharmaceutical goods.
This new product uses mechanically recycled PET film as the base material for GL Film, Toppan Printing’s proprietary transparent high-barrier film. While the film uses recycled materials, the application of Toppan Printing’s vapor deposition and coating technologies enables the same performance as conventional films derived from petrochemical products to be maintained. This is the world’s first transparent high-barrier film to use mechanically recycled PET film.
It has been possible to achieve the same quality as conventional GL Film in terms of oxygen and water vapor barrier performance. |
