RKW Horizon®
A powerful MDO-PE film which facilitates mono material structures to be easy recycled.
Benefits
RKW Horizon® is a 100% PE film with high transparency and high stiffness, dedicated as a printable outer layer in laminations with low SIT heat-sealable PE films.
- Made of 100% polyethylene films
- Efficient – easy to convert and to print
- High flexibility and stiffness
- Suitable for all printing technologies
- Many customized add-ons: Metallization, coating, treatments etc.
Unbeatable Features
- Enhanced mechanical properties: tensile strength puncture resistance, stiffness, dead-fold, easy tearing in one direction, and high machine-direction shrinkage.
- Enhanced optical properties: high transparency and gloss.
- Enhanced barrier properties: enabling down-gauged films while retaining the same oxygen and water barrier properties of thicker films.
- Film down-gauging: less source materials, less packaging and less transportation costs, thus reducing CO2 footprint, while retaining and improving film properties.
New areas of application
- Outer layer as printing replacement for PET/OPP in packaging for pet food, snacks and treats, cereals, sweets
- MDO-PE film with EVOH layer for barrier properties for food conservation for nuts, coffee, meat, cheese
- Cavitated (CaCO3 filled) white films in packaging for sealing, cold seal (chocolate bars, ice cream labels) and label applications
- Metallization / coating adding improved water vapor barrier for nuts, crisps and coffee
- Twist film for candies and sweets
