PAKVF4

This lamination of film foil and polyethylene has a wide range of uses where a high barrier film is needed with a low WVTR (Water Vapor Transmission Rate).

PAKVF4’s high barrier properties make it ideal for packaging hygroscopic items and products susceptible to corrosion. It is frequently used in packaging food or medical device packaging, where very low oxygen levels are required.

NOTE: PAKVF4 is 4.3 mils thick and offers the appropriate barrier for food products. For applications in which an even stronger barrier is needed, we offer the PAKVF4C structure, which is 5.0 mils thick minimum and also features an FDA approved sealant layer.
