IQF film from Brentwood Plastics seals quick-frozen food or dry mix packages at maximum form/fill/seal speeds, even in the presence of contaminants like blood, fats, ice, cocoa powder and dairy products.
New IQF (Individually Quick Frozen) food packaging film is a specially formulated low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film that seals at low temperatures and maximum form/fill/seal speeds.
It effectively eliminates channel leaks when used as a monolayer package or as a sealing layer in laminated stand-up pouches, and initiates seal at just 116°C (240°F).
IQF film's blend of metallocenes is formulated for superior pliability and strength compared to EVA in quick-frozen food applications, often permitting down-gauging for cost savings and sustainability requirements.
The new film is tough and durable, with an Elmendorf 2-mil tear value of 250 grams and tensile-elongation of 510% at break.
It offers excellent clarity with a contact haze of just 9.6 per cent and gloss rating of 63.
IQF film is available in film thicknesses of 1.25 to 5 mils, and can be corona treated for printing with water- or solvent-based inks.
