Films with high COF

Pliant has introduced a family of films with unique properties designed to improve converting and packaging processes.

Mar 4, 2008

Suitable for vf/f/s and hf/f/s applications, new GlideFast™ films provide the most consistent coefficient of friction available, says Pliant, minimizing the costly changes in COF that occur during production. Suitable for use with products ranging from confectionery to lawn and garden items, GlideFast includes a proprietary additive that makes film more stable and machineable. Can be used with a variety of films, including LLDPE, LDPE, MDPE, or HDPE.
