SOLUTIONS DESIGNED FOR FOOD PACKAGING REQUIREMENTS:
PVAL/PVAL complex film
The first SOLTEC solution consists to provide transparent plastic films that are biodegradable and assure the required barrier to food products.
In order to improve this storage life, from collection, packing, storage and transport to sales destinations and before consumption, protective food packaging is used.

Soltec propose a complex film for this sector combining a printable paper outer face and an oxygen barrier biodegradable inner face.
Most of the food packaging requires to assure product protection from oxidation and premature deterioration. Food products have to keep their freshness and taste as long as possible.
A compatibility study between the film and the product is essential prior to any commercial use. Compatibility testing, migration testing, and compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements must be carried out by the user according to the intended final application.
However, Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is listed in Commission Regulation (EU) No. 1129/2011 establishing the Union list of authorised food additives (see page 16).
