PVDC-Coated Film is a high-barrier packaging material produced by applying single or multiple layers of polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) onto substrates such as PET, BOPP, or BOPA. Renowned as the “queen of barrier materials” since its commercialization by Dow Chemical in the 1930s, PVDC coatings deliver unmatched protection for critical applications requiring extended shelf life and product integrity.
Key Attributes:
- Superior Barrier Efficiency: Dramatically reduces oxygen transmission (OTR) and moisture ingress, outperforming most transparent films and rivaling metallized alternatives.
- Chemical Resilience: Resists oils, greases, and solvents while retaining aromas and freshness.
- Functional Versatility: Supports dual-side heat-sealing (strength ≥0.8N/15mm), microwave compatibility, and high-quality printing with standard inks.
- Process Adaptability: Easily extruded, laminated, or coextruded for tailored multilayer structures.
Applications:
- Food Packaging:
- Household cling films, processed meat, cheese, and dairy products
- Oxygen-sensitive snacks, baked goods, and ready-to-eat meals
- Medical & Pharmaceutical:
- Blister packs, sterilization pouches, and moisture-sensitive drug packaging
- Industrial:
- Chemical-resistant protective films and specialty barrier solutions
Competitive Differentiation:
- Transparent Protection: Maintains optical clarity and gloss—unlike opaque metallized films—enabling product visibility without sacrificing barrier performance.
- Environmental Stability: Barrier properties remain unaffected by humidity or temperature fluctuations, ensuring reliability in diverse storage conditions.
- Legacy Credibility: Over 90 years of proven performance in demanding industries.
