With allflex ER, allvac is launching an EVOH-based high-barrier film onto the market which, according to the manufacturer, is up to 97 per cent recyclable - certified and suitable for a wide range of food packaging.
With allflex ER, allvac Folien GmbH has developed a new generation of recyclable high-barrier films. The eleven-layer thermoforming film combines high product protection with certified recyclability and thus fulfils current requirements for a functioning circular economy in the packaging sector, according to the Waltenhofen-based company.
The „R“ in the product name stands for „recycling“ and refers to its sustainability performance: according to cyclos-HTP certification, the film achieves up to 97 per cent recyclability in accordance with the CHI standard - a new benchmark for multilayer barrier films in food packaging, as the company claims.
Designed for demanding applications
The allflex ER is particularly suitable for packaging sensitive and perishable products such as meat, sausage products, ready meals, baked goods or chilled convenience products. Thanks to the integrated EVOH barrier, it reliably prevents the penetration of oxygen and moisture, allowing the best-before date to be extended.
Heat-resistant up to 100 °C
An additional advantage: according to the manufacturer, the film is heat-resistant up to 100 °C for up to four hours, which makes it ideal for pasteurised products.
The allflex ER is available in thicknesses between 50 and 350 μm. Variants with anti-fog, a peelable surface or individual printing and colour options are available on request. According to allvac, the development of allflex ER is a response to the increasing demand for sustainable packaging without compromising on protection and quality.
