COLINES Innovative Cast MOPE Film for Printing on Show at DRUPA Event
Thanks to the collaboration with the Spanish company Giave(manufacturers of machinery for printing and converting packaging), the innovative cast MOPE (mono-oriented polyethylene) film produced on COLINES‘ latest generation lines will be showcased at the upcoming prestigious DRUPA fair in Dusseldorf.
The 26-micron film was obtained with a stretch ratio of 4.2:1 and is unique worldwide: cast technology boasts excellent optical and mechanical properties to MOPE film and is ideal for both printing and lamination. Giave used their machine to print the film in 5 colors with Flint’s UV LED inks at a speed of 400 m/min using internal printing mode. The printing process showed excellent results and did not require a refresh of the corona treatment.
“Mono oriented PE film is commonly produced with blown extrusion technology,” says Nicola Lombardini, COLINES‘ R&D Manager “but the so-extruded film has some limits. For instance, blown MOPE film doesn’t have good haze & gloss, which is something easily achieved with cast extrusion technology. Additionally, the possibility of having one side of the film with good sealability is game-changer factor of cast technology. This means that cast MOPE film can be potentially suitable for a very huge market, as it could replace some existing products like BOPET, guaranteeing both higher recyclability and extreme downgauging“.
