A high-performance resealable bioriented polyester (BOPET) lidding film structure has been launched by Terphane (U.S. office in Bloomfield, N.Y.) The Resealphane is the latest innovation within the company’s Sealphane line of heat-sealable films.

It is said Resealphane can be opened and reclosed multiple times, is tamper evident, guarantees the complete opening of the packaging and is more sustainable. Moreover, it can be easily processed and integrated into existing packaging lines. Resealphane films can also be supplied with postconsumer recycled (PCR) content, as part of Terphane's sustainable Ecophane film line, which is FDA approved for food contact.

Since its founding in 1976, Terphane has developed technologies and processes to produce specialty BOPET. With experience and technical knowledge in film production, coating and metallization, the company is recognized for its vertical integration, from resin to specialty films. Terphane is a global leader in specialty PET films and a key company in Latin America.

Of all the trends you can see at NPE2024, this one is BIG. Not only is the auto industry transitioning to electrification but there are concerted efforts to modify the materials used, especially polymers, for interior applications.

Beyond Plastic and partners have created a certified biodegradable PHA compound that can be injection molded into 38-mm closures in a sub 6-second cycle from a multicavity hot runner tool.
