Toray Plastics debuts new Barrialox polyester film

Toray Plastics introduces to end users and converters advanced new Barrialox 1011EG-C1 transparent, high-oxygen and -moisture- barrier aluminum oxide-coated polyester film that offers the barrier performance, strength, versatility, and marketing appeal required for food, healthcare, and industrial packaging applications.

An easy-to-print polyester, Barrialox film allows end users to create colorful, eye-catching packages that attract consumer attention. New Barrialox film is an excellent alternative to PVdC-coated film and EVOH laminations, it can be used for adhesive or extrusion laminations, and is ideal for regular and standup pouches, pillows, packets, lidding laminations, and overwrap.

Barrialox's strength delivers improved handling and makes production easier for converters. As a clear aluminum oxide-coated film, Barrialox enables easy metal detection after filling. The new Barrialox film outperforms PVdC-coated polyester, silicon oxide-coated film, and aluminum oxide-coated film, when subjected to the Gelbo flex test, which crushes and twists the film and tests its resistance to pinholing and flex-cracking.

New Barrialox polyester film handles extremely well on high-speed packaging equipment and is easy to convert. It offers high thermal stability and superior mechanical properties, including high strength and dimensional stability.
