CareClear-PP (PET/PE)
CareClear-PP (PET/PE is a economical general use clear polyester based barrier material. The combination of Polyethylene Terephthalate and PE in the form of LLDPE provides strength and clarity in a heat sealable printable film. All while providing a economical price point.
Barrier Properties
The barrier properties of PET/PE are suitable form many applications and fall squarely in the mid-range of barrier films. CareClear-PP can provide sufficient barrier to keep many products fresh for the full shelf life expectancy.
Some applications not suitable for PET/PE would involve the requirement for light barrier, as PET/PE is a clear film, that even when printed will not prevent light exposure.
Note: The performance of any film will be influenced by a number of factors and testing must always be performed to ensure the film meets the use.
Relative Performance Indications
Oxygen Barrier
Moisture Barrier
Light Barrier
STrength
Heat Resistance
Freezer Storage
Customer Profile
PET/PE was a good candidate for this use.
The customer required a bag which could be printed with logos and graphics, but allowed the product inside to be seen by the consumer. The high clarity of PET/PE allowed the viewing window to built into the art.
