Case study: Chengdu Boshikerui New Materials creates innovative metallized polyethylene film with simplified lamination structure and superior barrier performance

Most vacuum metallized packaging on the market generally has three-ply composite structures, in which vacuum metallized polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is used for its barrier properties. However, PET is incompatible with polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP). When implementing PE metallization plating, the industry often faces challenges such as poor metallization adhesion and bonding strength, poor appearance, high friction coefficient and weak barrier performance. ExxonMobil Signature Polymers collaborated with Chengdu Boshikerui New Materials, Chengdu Fulinda New Materials and Qinglan New Materials to develop an innovative metallized polyethylene film that offers a simplified structure and superior barrier performance.
