Toray Plastics has announced that its LumiLid brand of dual-ovenable polyester lidding films has been enhanced, such that all LumiLid films are now compliant with US FDA regulations for use with oven temperatures of up to 400°F (204.4°C) for 30 minutes.
According to Toray Plastics (America) Inc., end users and converters can now select Toray’s value-added clear, white, or metallised LumiLid films for lidded refrigerated and frozen meals that require high heat for cooking or reheating.
“An FDA-compliant lidding film rated for performance under severe heat is a game-changer,” says Milan Moscaritolo, Toray Plastics (America) senior director of sales.
“End users now have more options for product design and greater latitude in how they deliver their product to consumers.”
LumiLid brand films incorporate specialty performance film and sealant layers, delivering specified performance and seal-strength characteristics, with a low seal initiation temperature (SIT), and a solvent-free formulation to assure pure food flavours.
Supplying a clean, secure seal, even on pleated corners, to APET, APET-coated board, CPET, PP, HDPE, and HIPS trays, LumiLid lidding films are printable and can be used to deliver a brand message.
