Flexicon's Flexi 6648, Foil-Laminate Overwrap Offers Cost-Effective Barrier Performance
Cary, Ill. (August 27, 2004)-Flexicon, Inc. offers Flexi 6648, a new foil laminate ideally suited for overwrapping materials (such as towelettes, gauze, etc.) impregnated with liquids and lotions.
Flexi 6648 features PET/foil/clear PE. The structure offers superior moisture vapor and oxygen permeability which are key performance characteristics for liquid-saturated products. (MVTR is <.001 grams/100 sq. inches/24 hours; oxygen permeability is <.001 cc/100 sq. inches/90% RH.)
Additionally, the laminate has been engineered for superior sealing and machinability. This enables optimum production speeds thereby maximizing plant efficiency. Further, the structure holds up to many of the additives/ingredients encountered in these application types.
Flexicon's investment in a new press enables printing of up to 10-colors-a key advantage for those marketing more visually-competitive products such as cosmetic towelettes, baby wipes, etc.
