Features
• Transparent/clear
• Low MVTR
• Very low contamination characteristics
• Excellent flexibility
Benefits
• Excellent moisture and gas barrier
• Vacuums easily with contours of content
• Visible package contents
• Excellent for disc media and sputter targets
Richmond Technology engineers developed the
CAV-40 product in response to the market demand for a high barrier
clear film with excellent cleanliness characteristics. The proprietary
outer layer delivers extraordinary moisture vapor barrier properties
while the inner sealant layer offers outstanding cleanliness
characteristics. None of the harmful process aids (i.e. slip,
anti-block, etc.) used in traditional polyethylene sealant layers
are present.
CAV-40 is the choice for clean transparent moisture barrier protection
of sensitive product during transport and/or storage.
