ALLVAC FOLIEN GMBH - HIGH-QUALITY PA/PE COMPOSITE FILMS WITH A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS

The flexible PA/PE medium barrier composite films are suitable for classic applications such as thermoforming. Each layer performs an important function: The PA layer is the crucial factor for the mechanical strength of the packaging. Working as a barrier layer, it seals in the aroma and prevents the penetration of oxygen, thereby extending the shelf life of your product. The PE layer on the inside of the packaging functions as a sealing medium and is decisive for providing airtight seams and a proper skin sealing. It serves as a moisture barrier and, although it protects your product from drying out, it also prevents the uncontrolled absorption of moisture. The tie layer between the PA and PE layers has the task of reliably tying them together so as to prevent delamination, even at high or varying temperatures. Excellent puncture resistance and wide sealing range Co-extruded composite films by ALLVAC consist of up to 11 layers of polyamide and polyethylene

The allflex S is a standard medium PA/PE barrier film with eleven layers, a versatile composite film combining several properties of different film materials, such as barrier or sealing properties. Due to its exceptional transparency and gloss, it can be used for a wide range of applications. Its formability qualifies it for packaging crusted ham, for example. Its outstanding puncture resistance is an additional advantage. Advantages of allflex S at a glance: Increased transparency Improved formability Improved puncture resistance Excellent sealing properties

The AVGT is a special bottom film which is particularly used for box-shaped forms in thermoformed packaging. It is suitable for all products with a defined volume and offers an increased level of puncture resistance. Its high transparency makes it ideal for product presentation at the point of sale, as it is applied in thermoforming high-quality special packaging. The AVGT can also be used to package food or non-food products under vacuum or MAP. Its excellent sealing properties, even with contaminated sealing surfaces, should also be emphasised. Features of AVGT Medium barrier against oxygen and water vapour Very high degree of transparency Excellent sealing properties Hot tack High mechanical strength Increased puncture resistance Optimum thermoforming properties AVGT-FAMILIY STRUCTURE STANDARD THICKNESSES AVGT 7 Layer PA Special / PE Special film 120 - 300my

The AV is the classic of our variety of composite films featuring a wide range of applications. With its 5-7 PA/PE layers, available in thicknesses from 70 to 300my, it runs perfectly as a bottom film on thermoforming packaging machines, due to its excellent formability. This standard film offers a medium barrier against oxygen and water vapour. Its high degree of transparency and gloss make the products stand out at the point of sale, while its excellent sealing properties, puncture resistance and exceptional mechanical strength are equally impressive. The AV tolerates temperatures of up to 70°C for up to 2 hours and is therefore also suitable for pasteurisation. Features of AV: Medium barrier against oxygen and water vapour Highly transparent Very glossy Excellent sealing properties Increased puncture resistance

The AVB is a special top film characterised by its excellent flatness, high degree of transparency, outstanding puncture resistance and seal strength in the hot tack state. The AVB can be processed both as top film and bottom film on flow pack machines and is also suitable for pasteurisation, due to its high level of temperature tolerance. It has a wide range of application. In addition to vacuum or MAP packaging in the food or non-food sector, they are also used as tray top films with antifogging properties. They also serve as ripening packs for cheese maturation as well as for cooking processes and microwave heating. Features of AVB: High quality Medium and high barrier against oxygen and water vapour Highly transparent Excellent sealing properties Hot Tack Increased puncture resistance AVB-FAMILY STRUCTURE STANDARD THICKNESSES AVB 9 – 18 Layer PA/PE Blown film 50 - 180my AVBE 9 - 18 Layer PA/PE Blown film with EVOH High barrier 50 - 220my AVBEF 9 Layer PA/PE Blown film

Flexible, coextruded PA/PE (EVOH) high barrier composite films from ALLVAC ensure long shelf life and perfect aroma protection. Polyamide and polyethylene as film base guarantee high puncture resistance while protecting the packaged goods from moisture as well as from any loss of product fluids. EVOH (ethyl vinyl alcohol) is a PE-based aroma barrier which guarantees the preservation of the packaged product’s taste. Baked rolls or tasty fresh pasta receive reliable protection from moisture and oxygen. Our composite films are the solution to provide your products with a long shelf life, aroma preservation and, at the same time, a sales-promoting appearance at the point of sale. PA/PE (EVOH) High barrier composite films not only for small baked rolls We recommend our PA/PE (EVOH) high barrier composite films not only for the packaging of bread and bakery products. Packaging for sausage products in modified atmosphere (MAP) also benefits from our high barrier composite films, as...

The allflex E is a standard PA/EOH/PA/PE high barrier film with eleven layers. It is available in thicknesses from 50 to 300my and ideal for packaging beef. Of great interest to the food industry is the extension of the best-before date achieved with it. In addition to the EVOH high barrier, which prevents the penetration of oxygen or moisture and thus the formation of germs, the allflex E is convincing due to its increased transparency, excellent formability and solid puncture resistance. Advantages of allflex E at a glance: Increased transparency Improved formability Improved puncture resistance Excellent sealing properties EVOH High barrier Extension of best-before date

The AVBE is a standard high barrier film. The PA/PE blown film with EVOH high barrier and its 9 to 18 layers is available in thicknesses from 50my to 220my. The AVBE convinces by its excellent formability, its high gloss and its outstanding puncture resistance. Due to its high gas barrier, this type of film not only extends the best-before date, but also provides a high level of product protection. It was specially designed for the packaging of semi-finished bread and bakery which is crisped up after removal from the bag. Like all our composite films, this type is also easy to process on all packaging machines. On request, we can print your films using the flexographic printing process. Advantages of AVBE at a glance: High barrier against oxygen and water vapour Highly transparent Excellent sealing properties Increased puncture resistance Extension of the best-before date

The flexible PA/PE/SURLYN® medium barrier composite film has been especially developed for the production of cooked ham. Its SURLYN® sealing layer is responsible for the preparation of perfectly cooked ham and an excellent presentation at the POS. SURLYN® is based on ionomers composed of ethylene methacrylic acid copolymers. The ionic crosslinks are reversible as they dissolve at usual processing temperatures and form again during the cooling phase. This type of film therefore has both excellent shrinking properties and meat adhesion. Excellent meat adhesion The meat is cooked for several hours at a temperature of 76°C. During this cooking process the PA/PE/SURLYN® medium barrier composite film develops a bond with the ham (meat adhesion). In contrast to pure polyethylene, the meat adhesion of this film can be influenced within certain limits by the selection of the SURLYN® type used. Adhesion to the product is determined by its different acidity. The excellent meat adhesion of...

Allflex ION is a special IONOMER 11-layer PA/PE/SURLYN® cast coextrusion film. It is ideal for producing cooked ham. Its main characteristic is excellent meat adhesion during the cooking process. Allflex ION is particularly popular as it prevents practically any jelly from forming on the product surface. Advantages of allflex ION at a glance: Excellent meat adhesion during cooking process Reduction of jelly formation High transparency Improved sealing properties
