Introduction to PVDC and PET

Polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) are key materials used in the packaging industry. PVDC is known for its excellent barrier properties against moisture, gases, and aromas, while PET is renowned for its strength, clarity, and thermal stability. Together, these polymers provide superior protective characteristics for various packaging applications, particularly in the food and pharmaceutical sectors.

Applications of PVDC PET

PVDC-coated PET films are extensively utilized in multiple industries due to their combined barrier and mechanical properties. Key applications include:

  • Food Packaging: PVDC PET films are commonly used to package perishable goods, offering a shelf life extension of up to four times compared to non-barrier films. This results in reduced food waste and enhanced product safety.
  • Pharmaceuticals: The material's barrier properties protect medications from environmental factors, ensuring drug efficacy. PVDC PET films meet stringent pharmaceutical standards, preserving the active ingredients over prolonged periods.
  • Cosmetics: Provides protection for volatile and aroma-sensitive cosmetic products, maintaining product integrity and shelf life.
  • Industrial Applications: Used in industrial environments to safeguard components from moisture and chemical exposure, PVDC PET films exhibit excellent resilience under harsh conditions.

Advantages of Using PVDC PET

The combination of PVDC and PET offers several advantages:

  • Superior Barrier Properties: Provides an oxygen transmission rate (OTR) as low as 0.1 cc/m²/day and a water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of approximately 0.5 g/m²/day at a thickness of 12 microns.
  • Mechanical Strength: PET contributes high tensile strength and durability, supporting heavy loads and mechanical stress during handling and transportation.
  • Thermal Resistance: Withstands temperatures up to 150°C, making it suitable for applications requiring heat-sealing and high-temperature sterilization processes.
  • Clarity and Gloss: Offers excellent transparency and aesthetic appeal, essential for consumer products that require visual inspection.
