CareFoil-XAP

Table of Contents

Overview

This film is a multi-layer laminated film that combines strong and durable KPET with high barrier aluminum foil material designed for high barrier food and industrial applications. CareFoil-XAP adds PVDC coated PET to the base Carefoil PET/foil/PE structure.

This FDA approved film does not stretch due to the orientation of layers during the laminating process. This film is often used when a die cut window is added to a pouch to offset the loss of barrier from adding a window into the Aluminum foil.

High barrier application such as freeze dried foods, industrial powders and light sensitive contents.

Note: The performance of any film will be influenced by a number of factors and testing must always be performed to ensure the film meets the use.

CareSilver-XVP

Great for Food and industrial uses, the film. The outermost layer is PVDC coated PET laminated to a metalized PET producing a lamination structure with enhanced barrier potential. This material is a good choice when the pouch design requires advanced printing techniques such as intricate designs that cannot be diecut into a aluminum foil based film.
