How does EHAp® and EHAr® Ultra High Barrier BOPA Film Benefit your Pet Animals?
Ultra High Barrier BOPA Film for Pet Foods is the best oxygen barrier film for pet food preservation in the animal nutrition industry. The technology used in the production is Biaxial Orientation, and the material structure used is PA6 + EVOH. The OTR (oxygen transmission rate) is as low as < 2cc/(m²·day·atm). It is the premium pet food packaging BOPA film for packaging pet food such as dog food and cat food.
The mechanical characteristics of Ultra High Barrier BOPA Film for Pet Foods have high composite strength and 9 N puncture resistance to prevent the tearing that can occur with aluminium foil pet food packaging. As a BOPA Film Packaging for extended pet food shelf life, this material is ideal for a clean label pet packaging film, making it possible to maintain preservative-free or preservative-less recipes for dogs and cats by reducing food oxidation. The fresh lock pet food packaging film is non-yellowing and stays clear so that premium ingredients for pets like dogs and cats can be seen by consumers.
When different functionality is required, Ultra High Barrier BOPA Film for Pet Foods has excellent heat stability for 85°C–100°C filling and retort applications, which is perfect for dry dog food, wet cat food, soft cans, and freeze-dried animal treats. The global production capacity of 150,000 tons per year guarantees a consistent supply of this material for the world’s leading pet food brands. With oxygen barrier film for pet food preservation, every mouthful of pet food delivers a consistent taste for dogs and cats while providing the necessary robustness for commercial shipping.
