Taghleef to debut white top coated films for PSL facestock application

06 Sep 2018 --- Taghleef Industries (Ti) is to debut four new voided white top coated films for PSL facestock applications at Labelexpo Americas 2018. The films are said to be products of Ti’s rapidly expanding top coating expertise, capabilities and capacity.

The debuted films follow the Ti announcement of its acquisition of one of Latin America’s leading producers of BOPP films for flexible packaging, labels and industrial applications – Biofilm. The move hoped to secure Taghleef’s position as a top supplier of BOPP films in Latin and America and further regions, increasing its annual production capacity to reach more than 500,000 tons. 

PPFB and PPGB are Taghleef’s new multi-layer barrier films for industrial labeling applications requiring extreme barrier to staining associated with tire, battery and candle labeling. PPFB has a pearlized appearance while PPGB offers a whiter appearance. 

PPFP and PPGP are similar products which meet labeling requirements where extreme barrier properties are not necessary. These films offer a proprietary skin which allows a wide variety of adhesives to anchor to it – even microsphere and ultra-removables.

All four of these films are resistant to PSA hotmelt curling and are derived from the successful Labelexpo Brussels launch of LSG. All films are available in 60 and 65-micron versions. 

In addition to the newest PSL film technology, visitors will see Ti’s unique metallic IML film, Titanium LTZ, developed to give high visual impact to the final product with either a mirrored reflective “brilliance” finish, or an eye-catching “gunmetal” matte finish.

In terms of sustainable choices, Ti will be showcasing its SHAPE360 range of films for shrink label applications. Due to their low density, these films should minimize the impact on PET recycling systems.

The new films range are set to join Ti’s established renewable bio-based films, Nativia and Extendo.
