RKW - Model FPO -Filled Polyolefin Films
FPO is a special film made with more than 50 % natural minerals. To the polymers PP (polypropylene) or PE (polyethylene) we add natural minerals in various degrees of fineness to create a material with outstanding performance.
FPO® is environmentally friendly and grease as well as waterproof. Today, FPO® is used in many different areas, from manufacturing and printing to the food industry.
All substances in the formulation comply with the Code of Federal Regulation of the FDA, product and application specific FDA compliance documents can only be provided upon request.
FPO® film has a paper-like feel and superior foldability and printability. It is also oil- and water-resistant. Compared with pure polymers, FPO® Film is twice as effective a barrier to light and water vapour. This means that the FPO® films can replace more complex laminate solutions such as PE/Paper. One major advantage is that moderately filled FPO® Film has considerably improved tear-resistance and dart drop.
Standard capability is up to 1200 mm wide and 40-200 μm thick. Stock standard FPO® films in PP and PE are available in many different thicknesses, and as sealable and light-barrier material.
