Toray Plastics (America) Launches Third-Generation Torayfan CB3 Films
Toray Plastics (America) (toraytpa.com) has launched its third generation of Torayfan clear, high-barrier BOPP films.
Consumer demand for fresh, shelf-stable food in transparent packaging and CPG companies’ preference for a PVdC-free, high-barrier film that delivers extended shelf life performance have driven the development of the new high-barrier BOPP films. The Torayfan CB3 portfolio is manufactured with Toray’s proprietary formulation and a patented PVdC-free coating. The films offer oxygen-barrier protection along with excellent moisture barrier and are available in sealable and non-sealable versions. In addition, the 70- and 80-gauge CB3 films are a thinner alternative to thicker OPP films and enable source reduction, yield and economic benefits. The films' strength also enables them to withstand the rigors of the laminating and converting processes without any degradation to barrier performance. All CB3 films are manufactured at Toray’s world-class site in North Kingstown, R.I. CB3 films are suited for bags, pouches, stand-up pouches, and flow wrap. Among their applications are nuts, seeds, salted snacks, cookies, dried fruit, and confectionery items.
