Plastics Packaging Copolymer Blend
Has Wide Thermoforming Window

Copolymer blend for thermoforming plastics packaging in both medical and frozen food applications provides performance and cost benefits.

Rollprint Packaging Products, Inc., Addison, IL introduces ClearForm* a low-cost, high-performance formable bottom web polymeric blend.

ClearForm* thermoformable bottom web is an economical option for thermoform filling and sealing packaging applications in both medical and frozen food end-use markets.

ClearForm* is a proprietary copolymer blend which offers outstanding toughness and exceptional clarity, along with an unusually wide thermoforming processing window. As an alternative to traditional bottom webs such as EVA/Surlyn/EVA, nylon coextruded films, and other PE-based polymeric blends, it provides these critical performance benefits at reduced cost.

When coupled with Rollprint’s Allegro® line of peelable top webs, the total package offers machine-friendly forming and sealing characteristics, excellent end-use durability and a smooth, peelable, tamper evident seal that is second to none. Also appropriate for use with coated Tyvek or paper, ClearForm* is suitable for both EtO and gamma sterilization.

Rollprint says the polymer ClearForm* can also be used for sterile medical packaging.

ClearForm* is the first product to be launched by Alliantz Flexible Packaging (Pte.), the newly-formed joint venture between Rollprint Packaging and Acme Packaging of Singapore. Ideal applications include sterile medical packaging (drapes, surgical gloves, medical devices, etc.) and frozen food products (poultry, meat, seafood, vegetables, baked goods, etc.).

With manufacturing facilities near Chicago, IL and Hartford, CT, Rollprint Packaging Products, Inc. is a worldwide supplier of packaging materials. The company offers a complete range of flexible, heat-sealable materials incorporating resins, films, foils, Tyvek® and paper. Structures can be designed to accommodate any sterilization method. Available in rollstock, pouches and die-cut lids, Rollprint materials can meet the needs of most peelable, chemical resistant, formable and barrier applications.

Rollprint is respected throughout the packaging industry for its heat-sealable, peelable rollstock and pouch technology, as well as its ClearFoil® ultra-high barrier transparent laminates, Allegro® peelable sealants and FlexForm™ forming webs.
