F-ISB PET Film for Cold Blister Forming Application

Share

Manufacturer: Flex Films (USA) Inc.; flexfilm.com

Description: In conventional cold-form laminates, there are three layers: nylon, aluminum foil, and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). UFlex developed a revolutionary alu-alu packag­ing, where a special polyester film replaced the conven­tional nylon and PVC while retaining aluminum, making it an indigenous product (since PVC and BON had to be imported from other countries, which added to the cost and delayed availability). With this unique development, the UFlex Group provides sustainability and cost optimi­zation, giving it an edge over conventional alu-alu pack­aging. The new structure of the F-ISB biaxially oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BOPET) film allows convenient printing and lamination with alu-foil. This film can be easily converted into a flexible packaging laminate. F-ISB BOPET film has large usage in pharma packaging applications, making it suitable for tablets and capsule packaging.
