High Barrier Films

3M™ Scotchpak™ Translucent High Barrier Films

3M Scotchpak translucent high barrier films are polyester (PET) base films with a heat-sealable polyolefin layer. These films contain a ceramic oxide coating (AlOx) which provides a strong barrier to moisture and oxygen. UV blocking without the use of metal foils is a characteristic in this film family. 3M high barrier films are adhesive-free, translucent films that provide high-strength seals to a variety of surfaces. These films can be used for moisture and oxygen sensitive products that require high barrier properties and also product visibility.

Recommended Heat Seal Conditions

Film-to-film seal strength depends on the temperature, pressure and dwell time employed, as well as the seal surface cleanliness. The best appearance and performance are obtained at the lowest temperature that produces satisfactory seal strength without distorting the seal area. A cooling period is recommended prior to stressing the seal area.

Suggested Heat-Seal Conditions:

300 - 400 F (149 - 204 C) 0.2 - 2.0 seconds 20 - 60 psi
