Q: Why should I switch from Evlon to high slip evlon?

A:  The Evlon high slip has a lower COF, allowing you to run your equipment faster in many cases.

Q: I have tried other pla films with no success. Why would Evlon be most likely to succeed?

A: What is different about Evlon, is that it has an excellent heat seal range, making it an easy transition from most OPP films on typical packaging equipment.
With a range of 150 to 210°F (65-98°C), most heat seal machines require the temperatures of the sealing bar to be turned down considerably to produce a good seal, and another common change is to reduce the dwell time as well to maximize seal strength.
A common mistake is to try to run it too hot. If there is distortion around the seal and/or the film becomes brittle and cracks or breaks at the seal, the sealing bar temperature is probably too hot. Turn the temp down to make a better seal, and save some energy in the process!

Q: Is the Thermal Stability better than other pla films?

A: Due to its unique process, Evlon films are exceptionally heat resistant. With little or no dimensional change with processing temperatures of 60°C (and less than 5% dimensional change even at 100°C for 5 minutes).

Q: What are the advantages of Coextruded film?

A: Coextruding PLA film has several advantages.
With a core of high heat resistant type PLA and a low temperature skin, it allows for a wider processing window in most applications, while maintaining far more structural integrity in high heat situations.
Coextruding also allows for minimal additional additives, maintaining better clarity and appearance. 

Q: Why is Evlon film made from PLA, better than conventional petrochemical-based polymers?

A: Because it uses less energy to produce the PLA pellets. Up to 65% less fossil fuel and 65% less greenhouse-gas emisions than when making traditional plastic.

Q: Will Evlon plastic film degrade on shelves?

A: No. Evlon will not degrade on shelves and has a similar shelf-life to other petroleum based plastics.

Q: How can Evlon packaging film be disposed of?

A: Evlon plastic offers more end-of-life options than any other material. It can be physically recycled, composted industrially, incinerated, put in landfill and even recycled back into it′s orginal lactic acid state.

Q: Can I get a sample of Evlon Compostable Plastic Film?

A: Yes. To request a sample, visit our "Contact Us" section and submit your request by email.

Q: What is compostable packaging film?

A:

Compostable packaging film is an eco-friendly alternative to traditional plastic, made from plant-based materials like corn starch (PLA), designed to break down into water, CO2, and biomass in specific composting conditions, offering barrier protection for food/products while reducing landfill waste.

High performing, laboratory tested, compostable flexible packaging film. Superior oxygen and moisture barrier properties.
