Toray introduces new packaging film

NORTH KINGSTOWN – Toray Plastics (America) Inc. has introduced a metallized film designed for products requiring an extended shelf life.
The new Torayfan PWX5, a metallized Bi-Axially Oriented Polypropylene (BOPP) film, was created for use as a high-performance inner moisture- and oxygen-barrier web in gas-flushed applications. One side of the film is vacuum-deposited aluminum on Toray’s ultra-barrier layer, which produces a packaging film that has superior metal adhesion and a shiny appearance. The other side of the film is heat-sealable.
“Overall, PWX5 offers superior moisture-, aroma- and flavor-barrier protection. In addition, its excellent barrier durability makes it the preferred choice for applications requiring an extended shelf life. New Torayfan PWX5 is ideally suited for the packaging of salty, flavorful snacks, cookies, crackers, biscuits, and confectionery items,” the company said.
Kerri Boyens, product manager of the Torayfan Division, said in a statement that the ongoing expansion of global distribution channels makes shelf life a primary concern of the consumer packaged goods industry.
“PWX5 metallized BOPP film, with its barrier-protection capabilities, is the solution to a significant packaging challenge,” she said.
