New METSFT metallocene monolayer PE is a deep-draw formable packaging film that offers a cost-saving alternative to formable nylon and multilayer coextruded films when used in non-barrier applications for frozen food, medical components, electronics, pharmacy mailers and retail shippers. It is ideal for packaging that requires deep-draw thermoforming and dimpled surfaces, providing a high melt strength that makes it more forgiving than PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PLA (polylactic acid) and EVOH (ethylene vinyl alcohol).
METSFT film runs fast on horizontal form/fill/seal (HFFS) machines, which vacuum form a cavity, drop in product, then seal a top web, saving labor and materials required for high-volume mailers. Rapid hot tack seals in the presence of contaminants, at lower temperatures than PET and similar films. The addition of a tamper-evident feature helps medical device manufacturers reduce exposure to counterfeiting and repackaged part risk. |
METSFT is FDA and Kosher approved, and has passed numerous toxicity tests for prolonged and direct human skin contact. It is available in thicknesses of 4 to 13 mils, corona treated for printing with water- or solvent-based inks. |
