High Barrier NY(PA)/EVOH Multilayer Film 15N01 (139μm)
NLB 139 (NY/EVOH/PE) thermoforming film with the best formability, twist resistance without pinholes, high transparency, and high gloss — built for deep-draw thermoforming of vacuum-packed ready-to-eat meat products.
Deep-Draw Thermoforming Film for High-Barrier Vacuum Packs
15N01 (NLB #139) is built around an EVOH barrier core, with the heavier 139μm gauge supporting 10–30mm forming depths — deeper than Intlpak's thinner NLB grades. It offers the best formability in the family, with twist resistance that avoids pinholes even at deeper draws, so vacuum-packed products hold both shape and shelf appearance through forming.
Where 15N01 Is Used
- 1
Deep-Draw Thermoforming Packs
Deep-draw thermoforming film for continuous automatic vacuum packaging at a 10–30mm forming depth. The 139μm gauge carries the draw while a 5000/5000 kg/cm² modulus holds the cavity shape, with the nylon (PA) layer supplying the stretch that makes that depth reachable without pinholing.
- 2
Frozen and Chilled Distribution
Vacuum packaging film for room-temperature, refrigerated, and frozen food. An oxygen transmission rate of 0.5 cc/m²·24h with a water-vapour rate of 5 g/m²·24h suits frozen distribution where both oxygen and moisture matter.
- 3
MAP and Deoxygenation Packaging
Vacuum, deoxygenation, and Modified Atmosphere Packaging of beef, chicken, pork, seafood, livestock, and agricultural products. The 0.5 cc/m²·24h barrier sits between the 80μm and 150μm grades in the same NLB series.
- 4
Dried Meat and Ready-to-Eat Products
Packaging of ready-to-eat products such as dried meat, sliced ham, pastry, and beef jerky. Haze reads 20% — the highest in the series — so this grade suits packs sold on protection rather than on a display window.
Full Specifications — High Barrier Nylon/PE Film Series
15N01 is the 139μm grade in Intlpak's NLB high barrier NY/EVOH/PE thermoforming film family — a 139 micron nylon EVOH film for deep-draw forming with a measured oxygen transmission rate (OTR) of 0.5 cc/m²·24h, a water vapour transmission rate (WVTR) of 5 g/m²·24h, 20% haze, and a suggested forming depth of 10–30mm. The table below shows 15N01 alongside its 80μm and 150μm siblings for reference.

Questions About 15N01
15N01 forms 10–30 mm — does that overlap F1154's 40–50 mm?
There is no overlap, and there is a visible gap. 15N01 (139 μm) covers 10–30 mm and F1154 (150 μm) starts at 40 mm, leaving 30–40 mm without a standard grade. If your die lands in that band, send the drawing so our engineers can advise which grade to extend or whether the structure needs adjusting.
139 μm but only 30 mm of draw — does that add up?
It does, because draw depth follows modulus rather than raw thickness. 15N01 measures 5000/5000 kg/cm² MD/TD tensile modulus while F1154 reaches 6400/6000. The stiffer web resists corner thinning under deep draw, which is why an 11 μm gauge difference produces a full step change in forming depth.
Where does 15N01 rank on barrier within the series?
Second. OTR is 0.5 cc/m²·24h — better than F1127 at 0.8, behind F1154 at 0.31. Water vapour transmission of 5 g/m²·24h is effectively level with F1154's 5.1 and well ahead of F1127's 9.4, so where moisture loss matters more than oxidation, 15N01 already delivers near-top-of-range protection.
Does 15N01 run as top or bottom web?
Bottom web. On continuous automatic forming vacuum lines it is heated and formed into the tray holding the product, then sealed to a PET or OPP top web to complete a high-barrier structure. It serves ambient, chilled and frozen distribution, including MAP gas-flushed packs.
15N01 has the series' highest haze at 20% — why would anyone specify it?
Because buyers choosing it are buying depth and barrier, not clarity. At 20% haze it is unproblematic for frozen meat or bulk portioning where the pack is not sold on visibility; where appearance drives sales, F1127 (10%) or F1154 (15%) fit better. Haze rises with gauge and nylon-layer ratio — an unavoidable trade in deep-draw structures.
Our vacuum packs develop pinholes on frozen product — will a thicker film fix it?
Usually, if the failure is at the corners. Gauge and elongation together decide whether the film survives the draw and the sharp edges of frozen contents. 15N01 is the 139 μm NY/EVOH/PE grade, rated 10–30 mm of forming depth with an OTR of 0.5 cc/m²·24h and a WVTR of 5 g/m²·24h. For draws beyond 30 mm, F1154 at 150 μm covers 40–50 mm.
Is a hazier film a lower-quality film?
No. Haze rises with the nylon and barrier content that a deep-draw film needs, so the toughest grades are rarely the clearest. 15N01 reads 20% haze — the highest in Intlpak's NY/EVOH/PE series — while delivering an OTR of 0.5 cc/m²·24h at 139 μm. Where the pack is a vacuum skin or frozen pack rather than a retail display window, that trade is usually the right one.
