Cosmo Films, a leader in specialty films for flexible packaging, lamination and labelling applications as well as synthetic paper, recently launched sterilisable conduction sealing film for wad and lidding applications for PP and PE containers. This film can withstand high temperatures during the sterilisation process, which is used to increase the shelf-life of the product.
The newly-developed sealing film is clear and corona-treated on one side and a heat-sealable film on the other. The film offers exceptional seal integrity, while it also offers improved convenience to the consumers, because it is easy to open and peel cleanly without splitting. Apart from offering excellent optical properties and printability, this film is safe for direct food contact.
This film can be used as a mono layer or as a sealant layer in a laminated structure with other substrates like aluminium 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 flavoured milk; the food and beverage segment for juices, energy drinks and bakery products; the pharmaceutical industry, and the agro-chemical and cosmetic industry.
Speaking on the development, Pankaj Poddar, chief executive officer, Cosmo Films, said, “This is an award-winning film, specially developed keeping in mind the dairy industry. The uniqueness of the film lies in its endurance to withstand high temperatures during the sterilisation process without affecting its seal integrity. We are confident of the success of this film and the response so far has been extremely encouraging.”
