Types of high barrier film

PVC/PVDC for Vape Blister Package

Normally the rigid plastic film is included PVC, PVC/ PVDC, other laminated film. Because of PVC’s lower barrier against the moisture, so PVC/ PVDC and PCTFE/ PVC(Aclar) are developed for improving.

1. PVC

Rigid PVC film is the most cost-effective formable film, but with lower moisture-proof, which can lead to the dead of electronic parts of vape.

2. PVC/PVDC

PVDC is with higher moisture-proof property, so being used widely as the high barrier film. It is mostly coated on the PVC film, such as 60 & 90gram per square meters.

To pack the cartridge, the common specification is PVC 350mic + 60gsm or 90gsm.

Higher coating quantity, better barrier properties.

3. PCTFE/PVC

PCTFE/PVC(Aclar) laminate is with better vapor barrier than PVC/PVDC film. But with patent protection, the PCTFE is quite expensive.
