Toray Plastics (America), Inc. introduced its new LumLife™ MK61 film for wet bond, high-barrier, and foil-replacement applications at this year's Pack Expo in Chicago.
      LumLife MK61, a thin, high-barrier metallized polyester (PET) manufactured with a proprietary metal adhesion process, offers excellent metal adhesion, especially in wet and caustic packaging applications. That improved bonding delivers a significant advantage over other films which lose their metallization in challenging packaging environments. Additionally, as a thin, lightweight, foil-free film, MK61 offers end users substantial source reduction benefits, including reduced waste and shipping costs and savings on structure materials and manufacturing.
      The new film is ideal for applications for consumer-product-goods manufacturers looking for a reliable foil-free lamination that maintains high oxygen and moisture barrier and supports sustainability initiatives.
      "Innovation helps drive business for end users," states Eric Bartholomay, Product Development Manager, Toray Plastics (America), Inc. "New LumLife MK61 film is a value-added packaging advancement that can be used for high-barrier and foil-replacement applications and in wet and caustic environments. Also, it offers the added benefit of source reduction."
