Press release

North Kingstown, Rhode Island May 19, 2014

 

Toray Plastics (America), Inc. introduces Torayfan CBS2 film , an environment-conscious, clear, high-oxygen- and moisture-barrier BOPP film designed for use as the inside sealant web for the packaging of bakery items, snack foods and confections, as well as dry pet food and treats and non-food items . Consumer packaged goods companies and converters can now create value-added transparent PVdC-free laminations that provide an excellent oxygen and moisture barrier, which help keep foods fresh, flavorful, and aromatic. Versatile, heat-sealable CBS2 BOPP film also offers end users an alternative to coated OPP and PET films and is the more economical choice when compared with aluminum oxide (AlOx)-coated films. In addition, because it's available in 70 and 80 gauge, CBS2 film presents a downgauged alternative to thicker OPP films. CBS2 film can also be used as an unsupported web for flexographic and rotogravure surface printing.

 

CBS2 film runs on HFFS and VFFS equipment. The non-barrier side of CBS2 film is designed for heat sealability. CBS2 film also provides oil and puncture resistance and excellent stiffness, which further improve shelf life and product integrity.

 

"PVdC is not acceptable to today's end users who want a clear barrier film that is environment-friendly," says Kerri Boyens, Product Manager, Torayfan Division. "PVdC-free CBS2 film is an innovative solution that offers excellent barrier functionality without PVdC's environmental issues."
