Multi-gas Barrier
Films coated and metallized for high oxygen and water vapour barrier.
OTR down to 0,1 cc/m2 24h | WVTR down to 0,5 g/m2 24h
Performance is guaranteed by the synergistic application of Coathink®, the water-based coating technology, and metallization on a series of base films: BOPP, LDPE, MDO-PE, OPA.
These highly protective products enable the eco-design of recyclable packaging by replacing aluminum foil.
- Longer shelf-life: greater performance of barrier properties
- No Alu-foil: barrier effect expressed in a thin coating
- Thinner: allows lamination with a thinner film
- More sustainable: enables switching to monomaterials
- Chlorine-free: no contamination upon use and recycling
- High aluminum adhesion
- Excellent oxygen and moisture barrier
- UV barrier
- Excellent sealability
- Food
- Nutraceutics
- Industrial
- Other
Used on a wide range of packaging where a high barrier to oxygen and moisture is required (e.g.: biscuits, milk powder, freeze-dried food, dried fruit, coffee, dietary supplements, vacuum pouches).
Eco-friendly because…these advanced functional solutions replace traditionally used aluminum foil and reduce the thickness and the number of layers.
Main applications.
Food:
dehydrated soups, baked goods, powdered milk, dried fruit
Nutraceutics:
dietary supplements, powdered ferments

Application case
High barrier MDO-PE film for recyclable mono-material packaging
- 20 um thick MDO-PE coated and metallized by SAES Coated Films
- OTR <<1 cc/m2 24h | WVTR <1 g/m2 24h
- Easy tear
- High print quality
- Excellent processability
- MDO-PE (Machine Direction Oriented PolyEthylene) film is suitable for replacing PET or PP layers in many multi-material flexible packaging structures, enabling their conversion to 100% PE recyclable structures.
- 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.
- The synergy between coating and metallization enables OTR performance of less than 1 cc/m2 24h (23 °C, 0% RH)and WVTR performance of less than 1 g/m2 24h (38 °C, 90% RH).
The film is also available in transparent version with oxygen barrier.
