Barrier Films

The advance of barrier films has ushered in a revolution in food packaging. Today’s barrier films not only keep aromas out or in, and provide a barrier to oxygen or other gases or moisture, they can be engineered for a specific level of oxygen exchange that extends shelf life of cut vegetables, fresh salads and other sensitive foods.

Danafilms designs coextruded films of up to seven layers to fine tune the barrier characteristics best suited to your application. The precise recipe begins with a proper resin selection that balances all the performance characteristics of EVOH, nylon, and many other engineered materials. We provide custom films suited to metallization, nitrogen flush, vacuum-packing, or any other packaging technology available. Our specialty is developing the new films that are required for the latest packaging innovations and we look forward to providing solutions for those not yet even conceived.

SAMPLE APPLICATIONS
Barrier applications include vacuum pouches, gas flush, chub pack, birdseed, pet food, nuts and trail mix, cookies, crackers, cereals, and many others.
