08 Feb 2022 --- Innovia Films is releasing Propacast KF, a clear cast polypropylene (PP) film designed as a lamination solution for horizontal form-fill-seal, vertical form fill seal and lidding applications.Propacast KF is fully recyclable, especially in countries which already have the infrastructure to recycle PP films. The solution is designed to be the inner sealing layer for pouch packs. Stephen Langstaff, business development manager for packaging at Innovia Films, tells PackagingInsights: “All sorts of dry products can be packed in these pouches, including confectionery, baked goods such as cake, biscuits, crisps and nuts.”When asked about technical challenges, Langstaff says the main obstacle was sealing initiation temperature sufficiently low enough “so it [Propacast KF] could be used in conjunction with a BOPP surface layer.”
