Transparent oxygen barrier
SAES Coated Films

Transparent Oxygen Barrier

Films coated for high oxygen barrier.

OTR down to 0,2 cc/m2 24h

Performance is guaranteed by Coathink®, the water-based coating technology applied to a full range of base films: BOPET, OPA, LDPE, MDO-PE, BOPP.

These products allow the eco-design of mono-PE and mono-PP recyclable packaging, according to the international guidelines for plastic recycling.

  • Longer shelf-life: greater performance of barrier properties
  • Thinner: allows lamination with a thinner film
  • No extra layers: barrier effect expressed in a thin coating
  • More sustainable: enables switching to monomaterials
  • Chlorine-free: no contamination upon use and recycling
  • Barrier to oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen
  • Aroma barrier
  • Transparency
  • Printability on coated side
  • Food
  • Other

Used on a wide range of packaging where high oxygen barrier protection is required (e.g.: bakery, dry fruit, cheese, cold cuts, fresh pasta, and modified atmosphere packaging).

Application case

High-barrier BOPP films: excellent quality, excellent service

  • 20 um thick BOPP coated films
  • OTR as low as 0.5
  • Medium water vapour barrier: WVTR < 7
  • Sealable on the non-coated side for use as internal layer
  • Non-sealable version for better machinability as external layer
  • Available in matte finish: velvety feel and premium-luxury appearance
  • Our coated BOPP films are the ideal solution for 100% PP recyclable flexible packaging. An example? By laminating our non-sealant coated BOPP with cast PP you obtain a mono-material design suitable to replace conventional multi-material non-recyclable structures like PET-PVdC / cPP.
  • The oxygen barrier is provided by Coathink®, the water-based coating technology developed by SAES. The coating is less than one micron thick, equivalent to just 1% of the total weight of the packaging and compliant with EU guidelines for recyclability.
  • The coating is transparent and features excellent printability. Matte finish is available on demand.
