Toppan Adds Light-Shielding GL-ME-RC to the GL BARRIER Range
Toppan has developed “GL-ME-RC,” a new grade that provides high-barrier performance combined with light-shielding. Expanding the scope of applications for GL BARRIER films, GL-ME-RC is available for markets in Japan and overseas from April.
GL-ME-RC takes advantage of GL BARRIER vapor deposition and coating technologies and demonstrates outstanding flex-resistant barrier performance, which has been challenging to achieve with conventional aluminum vapor-deposited films. It can therefore be used for the packages of pharmaceutical goods and food that require high-barrier performance, light-shielding, and flexibility, something which until now has necessitated the use of aluminum foil.
