Innovia Films offers two cellulose (from wood pulp) based product lines,
NatureFlex™ and
Cellophane™, both of which contain distinct product families, each with their own proven capability and functionality:
Innovia Films’ NatureFlex™ is a key part of our overall product portfolio and has proved successful through the technical properties it provides.
NatureFlex™ is available in different formats, each with proven capabilities and functionality:
These bio-films are based strongly on renewable resources (wood-pulp from managed plantations) and are fully certified to the European (EN13432) and American (ASTM D6400) norms for compostable packaging. In addition they have been proven to be suitable for home composting and will also biodegrade in a waste-water environment. In addition further testing has proven that most NatureFlex™ grades are also suitable for anaerobic digestion.
NatureFlex™ films use novel heat seal-resins on each side. They are static free and offer a super wide heat seal range for outstanding machine performance. The films offer good gas barrier properties and the coatings can be tailored to provide varying degrees of moisture barrier, depending on the needs of the wrapped product.
Cellophane™
Cellulose films are produced from sustainable wood pulp harvested from managed plantations. Cellophane™ is a cellulose film, which was developed over 80 years ago and which Innovia Films is committed to producing into the future. In 2009 following a multi-million pound investment, new production capacity was commissioned. Cellophane™ films offer a range of unique attributes which plastic films are unable to equal and can be supplied in a wide range of brilliant colours.
Cellophane™ is available in different formats, each with proven capabilities and functionality:
Our Cellophane™ brand is renowned across the world for its performance in speciality markets including twistwrapped confectionery, “breathable” packaging for baked goods, “live” yeast and cheese products and CelloTherm™ ovenable and microwaveable packaging.
Cellophane™ is also used in technically challenging applications such as adhesive tapes, heat-resistant release liners and for battery separators.
