Finland-based provider of polypropylene based film solutions KWH Plast has launched a new generation of polypropylene-based lidding film, SecurityPeel for meat and ready-meal packages.

The new secure and peelable film's properties are based on multi-layer cast co-extrusion technology and enable production of food packaging that increases product safety and provides longer shelf life.

KWH Plast marketing director Håkan Forss said the new lidding film was developed to achieve good performance which adds value throughout the value chain: packaging converters, food industry, brand owners, retailers and consumers.

"With our multi-layer solution, the excellent peeling of the lidding film has now been combined with other special features like state of the art barrier and anti-fog properties," Forss added.

SecurityPeel is targeted for packaging of the meat, chicken and ready-meal brands. It protects the product inside the package without compromising safety and also ensures a smooth and convenient opening and its barrier layer reduces the oxygen transmission rate, while protecting the product.

The film's anti-fog additive changes the surface properties allowing the moisture inside the package to spread out on the surface of the film, rather than forming droplets. The food inside the package is fully visible on the cold shelves due to its transparency.
