Transparent PLA Shrink Film Biodegradable 50mic PLA-1011

What is PLA?

PLA (polylactic acid) is a compostable bioplastic derived from corn-based Polylactic Acid resin (renewable materials),

it offers a very high shrinkage ratio and requires less heat to shrink, while delivering performances similar to the other films during processing.

How about our PLA shrink film’s performance characteristics?

HYF PLA shrink film could be converted to a high-performance shrink label that can envelop products in top-quality color and graphics for outstanding shelf-presence. The fact that HYF PLA comes from nature is a bonus to the shrink film’s unique decoration possibilities.

Aesthetics.

Excellent gloss and clarity for outstanding graphic appeal. High clarity lets the product shine through for eye-catching, transparent applications.

Printability.

Natural surface energy readily accepts many ink formulations for crisp presentation of all-around, high-impact graphics.

Shrink properties.

Provides greater than 70 percent shrink ratio over a temperature range of 80 - 100 ºC, ensuring the label’s ability to cover almost any shape of container. Lower-temperature shrink initiation means shrink performance is more predictable and faster label application is possible.

Strength.

Good abrasion resistance and dimensional stability over a wide temperature range. High modulus allows for the possibility of down gauging.

Breathability.

High water transmission rate (WVTR) eliminates moisture trapped between the label and the container—particularly important for steam shrinking.

Processing.

HYF PLA shrink film runs on a broad range of existing labeling equipment with good throughput and line speed. The film is also effective in roll-on-shrink-on (ROSO) applications.

What is the advantage of our PLA shrink film?

Product Advantage

1. Transparency Comparison

2. Production Process Comparison

3. Raw Material Comparison

What is the application of our PLA shrink film?

Our PLA shrink film’s inherent shrink characteristics allow to cover almost all the container with contoured shaped arriving to 77.8% shrink on transverse direction, and could be used in beverage, dairy, food, health and beauty, household, or home and garden business to make your product stand out on the shelf and increase consumer awareness by making the following innovative packaging:

- Full or partial body shrink sleeves
- Full or partial body roll sleeves
- Multi-packs
- Tamper-evident bands

Why is saying that our PLA shrink film is sustainable packaging film?

HYF PLA shrink film are made of 100% PLA
More compostable and sustainable packaging is a key measure to ensure our future. The dependency on crude oil and its impact on future developments made our team to widen its view towards a compostable, sustainable packaging.

How is the evolution of the temperature, Oxygen concentration and PLA shrink film during the composting process?

• HYF PLA shrink film are made of 100% NatureWorks PLA corn-based resin.

• Plants grow by photo-synthesis, absorbing CO2 from the air, minerals and water from the soil and the energy from the sun.

• The starch and sugar content of the plants is converted into lactic acid by microorganisms via a fermentation process.

• Lactic acid is polymerized and becomes poly-lactic acid (PLA).

• PLA is Biaxially oriented into film and becomes shrink sleeve package.

• Sustainable packaging is composted into CO2, water and biomass.

• Biomass is absorbed by plants, and the cycle continues.

PLA’s Composting Process

1. Evolution of the temperature

The figure of the temperature shows the temperature evolution during the disintegration test. The temperature remained well above 40°C during 8 consecutive weeks.

2. Evolution of the Oxygen concentration

It shows the oxygen concentration in the exhaust air. The oxygen concentration remained always above 10%, except once after 8 days with a value of 7.4%. However, immediate action was undertaken and the oxygen concentration increased.
