Toray Plastics (America) has launched Toryfan MWX6, a new metallised white cavitated biaxially-oriented polypropylene film targeting consumer packaged goods (CPG) applications requiring high-performance film for gas-flushed packaging.
The metallised white BOPP film is designed with a proprietary ‘ultra-barrier’ layer on one side, to give superior moisture-barrier and oxygen-barrier functionality, while the other side of Toryfan MWX6 film features a hermetic, heat-sealable layer.
For converters, the new MWX6 film can be used as a monoweb or a lamination, and it runs on both horizontal and vertical form fill seal machines.
“Metallized white BOPP films previously available to the market were limited in barrier capability and appearance,” says Toray Plastics product manager Kerri Boyens.
“Now, new innovative MWX6 metallised white BOPP film, with superior barrier durability and a unique aesthetic quality, is available to customers seeking a competitive advantage.”
Available in 100 and 110 gauges (1-1.1 mil), MWX6 film is said to be the ideal choice for packaging salty crisp snacks, baked goods, confectionery items, pet food, and refrigerated and frozen foods, and is also suitable for agricultural and chemical packaging.
Toray suggests the MWX6 film’s bright white, glossy appearance will appeal to consumers and contribute to a brand’s success, by enhancing a package’s attractiveness both inside and out.
Rhode Island-based Toray Plastics (America), Inc., is a leading manufacturer of polyester, polypropylene, and bio-based films for flexible and rigid packaging, lidding, graphic, industrial, optical, and electronic applications.
