Technology
Continuous barriers

Our CERAMIS® retort grades produced during 2004 were constantly of very high quality and the measured barrier properties within a narrow band. For the quality check over 1600 laboratory laminates were produced and the oxygen permeation rates were determined after retorting at 121°C for 30 minutes. The diagramme of the CPT005 grade demonstrates the reliability of CERAMIS® films even under harsh conditions.

CERAMIS® Polyamide – the useful alternative

Barrier coatings on Polyester are today’s standard for various packaging solutions.
But some applications require more than just standard. If you need to protect the inks against migrations of aggressive or highly pigmented goods or, if you need a barrier close to the product, or if you want to print on your standard Polyester, then CERAMIS® on Polyamide opens new ways for better solutions.
