Cosmo Films, a global leader in speciality films for flexible packaging, lamination and labeling applications, and synthetic paper, recently launched a sterilizable conduction sealing film for wad and lidding applications for PP and PE containers. The film can withstand high temperatures (the temperatures and duration vary according to the product category as well as the sterilization process and parameters) during the sterilization process, which can be used to increase the shelf life of products.
The newly developed sealing film is a clear, one side corona treated and other side heat sealable film. The film offers seal integrity and improved convenience to the consumers as it is easy to open and can be peeled off neatly without splitting. Apart from offering excellent optical properties and printability, it is also safe for direct food contact.
The film can be used as a mono layer or as a sealant layer in a laminated structure with other substrates like aluminum foil. It can be used in roll or pre-cut form (after lamination with other substrates) based on the requirements of the customers. The film is used primarily in the dairy industry for flavored milk; food and beverage segment for juices, energy drinks and bakery products; pharmaceutical industry; agro chemicals; and cosmetics industry.
Speaking on the development, Pankaj Poddar, chief executive officer, Cosmo Films said, “This is an award-winning film especially developed keeping in mind the dairy industry. The uniqueness of the film lies in its endurance to withstand high temperatures during sterilization process without affecting its seal integrity. We are confident of the success of this film and the response so far has been extremely encouraging.”
