OxP218 Clear Oxygen Barrier Film

A high clarity (transparent), non-chlorine, barrier coated, Polyester (PET) film offering ultra-high oxygen barrier, thermal resistance and durability (flex crack resistance). This film can be used as an outer (reverse) print web in flexible packaging laminations where high oxygen barrier is needed, including gas flushable laminations. This film offers an alternative to chlorine based coating (PVDC) and other barrier coatings which are more susceptible to flex cracking.
