Cosmo Films, a global provider of specialty films for flexible packaging, lamination and labeling applications, has introduced a cast polypropylene (CPP) metalized film with high metal bond strength. This film has been specially designed to offer excellent inter layer bond strength for making multi-layer laminate structures, which in turn enhances barrier properties.

Apart from CPP's inherent nature of excellent seal strength, good thermal stability, good yield economics and good puncture resistance, the film provides exceptional metal bond strength of around 450 gm/inch. Available in standard thicknesses ranging from 20 to 30 microns, this newly developed metalized film has a High Hot Tack and Low SIT of 96 to 98 degree Celsius, which enables FFS machines to run at a higher speed, thus helping improve productivity.

This film also exhibits enhanced heat seal strength of 2.5 kg/inch. Some of the typical applications of the film include biscuits and snacks, bakery products, chocolates, chewing gums, dairy products, spices etc.

CPP film is growing in popularity as a more attractive packaging material owing to its versatility. Cosmo offers different variants of CPP films like transparent, white opaque and metalized for multiple applications. It provides excellent seal strength, as well as good moisture and gas barrier, making it a material of choice for convertors and brand owners.

Speaking on the development, Pankaj Poddar, CEO, Cosmo Films, says, "The latest addition of high metal bond strength film has definitely expanded our CPP portfolio, and we see a huge potential for this film into flexible packaging. A strong metal adhesion is critical to get good interlayer bond strength which ultimately improves barrier properties, making it an ideal choice for food packaging applications."
