Heavier-Gauge PP Film With Exceptional Stretch

F1302 (PVP #40) is the lightest-gauge entry point in Intlpak's PVP high-barrier PP family. Using a PP layer in place of PE gives this line notably higher elongation and toughness than the PE/EVOH/PE (EVE) series at an equivalent gauge, while the EVOH core carries the oxygen barrier and fragrance retention.

Where F1355 Is Used

  • 1 Food, medical care, cosmetics, and hygienic cleaning product packaging
  • 2 Applications needing high stretch/formability alongside oxygen-barrier protection
  • 3 Can be printed or laminated with other film materials
  • 4 Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) of fresh beef, chicken, pork, and seafood products

Why F1355 Performs

High oxygen barrier — OTR of 2.6 cc/m²·24hr (20°C, 65% RH) protects flavor, freshness, and shelf life.
Outstanding elongation — 700% MD/TD elongation, the highest stretch in the PVP family, for demanding form-fill-seal lines.
Strong break resistance — break point of 400 kg/cm² (MD) gives added toughness over the lighter F1302 grade.
Corona-treated for lamination — bonds reliably with PET, OPP, or NY without added tie layers.
Good transparency — haze of just 7% keeps product presentation clean at this heavier gauge.
Broad application range — one film structure covers food, medical care, cosmetics, and hygienic product packaging.

Common Questions

Questions About F1355

F1355 sits at 55 μm between the 40 and 70 — when should I pick it?

When you need better moisture protection than F1302 provides but don't want to pay for F1307 's gauge. Oxygen barrier is identical across all three at OTR 2.6; the difference is WVTR, and F1355's 5.1 g/m²·24h lands squarely between 6.5 and 3.7 — the moisture-versus-cost compromise.

F1355 elongates 700%/700%, the same as the 70 μm grade — so is gauge pointless?

For elongation, it has already topped out. F1355 matches F1307 at 700%/700%, both above F1302 's 600%/600%, meaning toughness reaches the family ceiling at 55 μm and does not improve further. What F1307's extra gauge buys is moisture barrier (3.7 versus 5.1) and thickness margin, not extensibility.

F1355's yield point of 190 falls between its siblings — is that gap meaningful on the line?

Barely. The three read 200 ( F1302 ), 190 (F1355) and 180 ( F1307 ) kg/cm² — under 10% spread, which rarely warrants a settings change. The differences worth planning around are the heat-seal parameters that follow from gauge, and the WVTR tiers.

Can F1355 be printed or laminated?

Yes, exactly as the rest of the family. The PP layers supply heat tolerance and print compatibility while the EVOH core carries oxygen barrier and aroma retention. It prints directly and laminates to PET, OPP or NY for composite structures across food, medical care, cosmetics and hygienic products.

Is 7% haze clear by the standards of this PP family?

Middle of the pack, and in fact the haziest of the three: F1302 (40μm) measures 5%, F1355 (55μm) measures 7%, and F1307 (70μm) measures 6% — haze doesn't decrease steadily with thickness in this family, the middle grade runs highest, most likely tied to how the PP layers crystallize at that particular gauge. The spread is only 2 points, so the practical visual difference between all three is slight; if clarity is the deciding factor, the PE/EVOH/PE family at 4.2–5.6% remains the meaningfully clearer tier.
