23-Mar-17 Next Generation MATIF grades to achieve excellent matte performances with haze of more than 75%, providing a high quality finish to luxury packaging items have been launched by Ampacet. The trend has moved from glossy surfaces towards low gloss appearance.
Features include:
Following a presence of more than 25 years on the Bi-Oriented PolyPropylene (BOPP) film market, Ampacet has developed a position supplying high volume general purpose as well as specialty masterbatches to the BOPP film manufacturers on a worldwide scale.
Marcello Bergamo, Ampacet’s General Manager Europe said “we are proud in having designed and brought to our customers the latest technology available in the polymer industry on Matte compounds. Our strategic choice is to develop solutions for our customers and the Next Generation Matte is all about that. This latest technology is another example of how we intend to achieve our objectives and we seek to add value for our customers and increase our competitive advantage”
This platform covers a broad spectrum of seal initiation temperatures (SIT) going from 130°C to 75°C allowing the use of BOPP matte films on various packaging equipment. François Thibeau, Ampacet’s Strategic Business Manager Europe for business units Films & BOPP states that “with our new MATIF range, Ampacet allows its BOPP film customers to debottleneck their film production line. Indeed, our new MATIF products allow to down-gauge traditional matte skin layer by 20 to 25%, over-come the capacity constraints linked to matte skin thickness requirements with conventional matte compounds, allow film producers to increase overall line output and improve their overall operational excellence.”
