“PVDC coated films” is a general term for films coated with a thin layer (1 –3 μm) of PVDC.
They are used in a variety of applications as packaging materials that provide gas barrier properties in addition to the properties of their base films.
Gas Barrier Properties Unaffected By Humidity
PVDC coated films maintain stable gas barrier operties in varying conditions of humidity.
Water Vapor Barrier Properties
In addition to inhibiting the oxidation of food,PVDC-coated films help to retain moisture content and prevent absorption of moisture from the outside.
Superior Aroma Barrier Properties
PVDC-coated films provide outstanding aroma barrier properties, making them especially useful for food products containing vinegar and soy sauce.
Favorable Pinhole Resistance
PVDC-coated films have superior resistance to abrasionand flexing, and are particularly resistant to pinhole formation.
