Innovia Films’ next generation of its flexible, compostable film,
NatureFlex™ was officially launched today (6 November 2008) at the European Bioplastics Conference in Berlin.
The new film, NatureFlex™ NK, offers not only biodegradability and compostability, but also a moisture barrier approaching that of co-extruded OPP. This means it has the best moisture barrier of any biopolymer film currently available, which has been achieved through Innovia Films’ unique coating technology.
NatureFlex™ NK is a transparent, general purpose packaging grade suitable for various applications eg dried foods (biscuits, cereals, crisps, snack bars etc). The new product is also ideal for lamination to other biofilms. NatureFlex™ NK is available in 20, 23, 30, 45 micron thicknesses and can be used for a variety of pack formats – VFFS, flow wrap, twistwrap and overwrap.
NatureFlex™ NK film’s excellent moisture barrier makes it ideal for wrapping biscuits and it is also biodegradable and compostable
Nestlé has adopted Innovia Films' compostable NatureFlex for Quality Street sweets in time for the Christmas period.
