Film Manufacturing & Extrusion Process

The success of our films is aided to a large extent by packaging that not only protects, but also displays the contents in the most aesthetic manner possible. 5 – layer co-extruded poly films made by Metatex offers many advantages for packaging items like edible oil, ghee, milk products, snacks, flour, salt, detergents, diapers, etc.

Our Co-Extrusion process enables manufacture of 5 layer films using a combination of LDPE / LLDPE / HDPE/ULDPE/EVOH. The selection of layers is made to offer the best protection against atmospheric conditions, to withstand the rough and tumble of transport and mechanical handling, to extend shelf life and to enable easy packing of the product using automatic packaging equipment. Since, at Metatex, all layers are extruded in a single operation, low gauges at very low cost are achieved as compared to both other companies and adhesive laminates. Furthermore, a 5-layer film even if made of the same resin in all 5 layers gives much higher barrier compared to a standard film.
