Ampac: Laminate film alternative to aluminum foil

When incorporated in a laminate, Ampac’s Flexi FoilFree HB ultra high barrier film technology is said to achieve moisture, oxygen, and vapor barrier properties approaching aluminum foil laminates without the use of foil, and provides sustainability and economic benefits for manufacturers.

Flexi FoilFree HB composites provide flex/crack and puncture resistance, while also providing easy “tear open” properties. The laminates are said to provide improved packaging yield and lighter weight versus comparable foil substrates, yielding lower greenhouse gases and requiring less energy consumption in manufacturing and distribution.

Laminates utilizing Flexi FoilFree HB barrier film also have the look and feel customers’ demand from their packaging, without compromising package or product integrity. Packaging produced with Flexi FoilFree HB film retains its defined appearance even after processing and handling.

The film laminate is economical: a two or three-ply Flexi FoilFree HB composite will provide comparable O2 and WVTR barrier properties than more traditional three and four-ply foil based laminates according to the comapny, realizing improved material cost.

Packaging applications for Flexi FoilFree HB barrier film include: the diagnostics, drug delivery, biotech, and medical device markets; and packaging both dry and liquid food products such as cake mixes, powdered soups, dips, gravies and liquid cheese sauce.
