Innovia Films, a major producer of BOPP films and a pioneer in material science, has introduced a new film designed for pressure-sensitive labelling applications.

The film, marketed as Rayoface AQBHA, is a uniquely engineered, two-sided coated cavitated polypropylene (PP) film.

Rayoface AQBHA is 58 microns thick and features a printable top-coating and an adhesive-receptive coated surface on the reverse side. This design provides anti-curl and migration properties with hot melt adhesives.

The film is said to offer outstanding printability and is specifically designed for hot melt pressure-sensitive label coating. Additionally, it is said to have demonstrated excellent moisture resistance and performs well at cold temperatures, making it suitable for fridge and freezer applications.

Lucija Kralj, business unit director labels EMEA, highlights the film’s compatibility with PP containers, stating, “As more SKUs move to PP containers, having a label made from the same material supports the design for recycling criteria for filmic facestocks.”

Extensive testing of Rayoface AQBHA has shown that the film remains flat throughout hot melt barrier testing, providing an effective solution to prevent facestock material issues during hot melt coating for PSL.
