Metallyte™ MM488 - Oriented Polypropylene Film

FLEXIBLE PACKAGING PRODUCT DATA SHEET

Product Description

Metallyte™ MM488 is a metallized biaxially oriented polypropylene film, metallized on one side. MM488 is typically used in laminates as the inner web for VFFS and HFFS applications. Due to its slip controlled broad seal range surface, film offers excellent performance on all types of VFFS packaging machines. When laminated with standard coex, it can be lap sealed.

Key Features

Good adhesion of aluminum layer to film
Good moisture barrier and light barrier
Slip controlled sealing layer

Good oxygen barrier
Good hot tack
Broad seal range for good performance on HFFS machines and VFFS
Cold seal receptive
