Triflex T-LID - top lidding film sealing on PP

ITP introduces Triflex , the innovative series of coextruded bi-oriented barrier films created with a cutting edge manufacturing system, setting the new era of food packaging : thinner, lighter films with reduced carbon footprint. T-Lid is a Triflex peelable high barrier film. A coextruded PE, PA, EVOH based film intended for top lidding applications, without lamination to bi-oriented films. The specific production technology allows to achieve very a high stiffness and toughness at the same time, in addition to excellent transparency and brilliance. This film is added with antifog additive. Choosing bi-oriendetd barier films from the Triflex line means ensuring the highest quality available on the market, thanks to the advanced technology and know-how matured by ITP over 50 years in the field of plastic film production using the blown film extrusion system .
Triple Bubble® production gives the new Triflex films three main strengths:
- MONOFILM: Triflex films are coextruded, so they do not have to be laminated to acquire special mechanical and functional characteristics.
- LIGHT: The 30% reduced thickness compared to laminated films makes Triflex products lighter and reduces their bulk.
- BRILLIANT: The three-bubble extrusion makes Triflex film extremely bright, for optimal performance in food packaging.
Triflex films are sustainable both ecologically and economically, because they eliminate the lamination step; the reduction in film thickness results in lower material consumption and therefore a reduction in the carbon footprint. There are many advantages that Triflex products bring to the customer due to their reduced thickness – and therefore reduced weight and bulk: the space required for storage by the customer is reduced; given the lower weight, transport costs are reduced as well as the environmental contribution compared to traditional film. Triflex products are ideal when a high barrier to oxygen is needed; this application, typical of films produced with this technology, which combines high transparency with good thermoformability and high puncture resistance. This preservation technique extends the shelf life of sausages, meat, fish, poultry, cheese and rice and is considered the packaging of the future, in line with the need to reduce food waste. The multiple applications of Triflex are an expression of its flexibility, which is also a founding characteristic of ITP itself: since its origins in 1972, Industria Termoplastica Pavese has aimed at fully satisfying its customers and strives, through the activities of its Research and Development laboratory , to create solutions that perfectly meet their needs in terms of performance, healthiness and quality. ITP’s Triflex T-Lid won the Ecopack CONAI 2024 award for its innovative design, reducing raw material usage and CO₂ emissions. This according to LCA studies conducted by CONAI to evaluate the environmental impacts of packaging throughout its lifecycle.
