Newsletter 30 April 2021

Currently, there are many variants on the flexible bag in box packaging market in terms of structure and types of film used in the production process. One of the two most popular are packaging made of either a barrier film based on ethylene copolymer and vinyl alcohol (EVOH foils) or a laminate based on metallized polyethylene terephthalate (Met-PET foils).

 

EVOH-based films are highly flexible and highly resistant to cracking. From an aesthetic point of view, this foil is usually transparent. One of the main properties of the EVOH film is its barrier to atmospheric gases (nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide). Barrier is a parameter that determines the permeability of gases through a given material. The appropriate level of foil barrier ensures that the packaging will be suitable for storing, among others food products, thus extending their shelf life. The limited migration of gases into the interior and from the packaging guarantees the desired organoleptic qualities of the stored products. The limited access of oxygen delays the aging process and effectively blocks the growth of microorganisms in the product. The current technological possibilities allow for a wide range of modifications in the composition and structure of EVOH foil, towards a significant increase in the barrier to gases, strength and color of the foil itself.

 

In turn, the laminated foil based on metallized PET, apart from similar gas permeability properties to EVOH foil, is characterized by a barrier to light radiation (especially UV). This is important when the stored product is particularly prone to aging under the influence of UV and requires additional protection against light. Met-PET film is often used by customers who fill in aseptic conditions, because the thermal sterilization process in the area of ​​the collar in bags made of Met-PET film is more efficient (slower degradation of the film). At present, the production process of EVOH film and functional additives allows the available types of EVOH film to compete with Met-PET film. Thus it is possible to produce packaging that meets the requirements of aseptic filling and thermal sterilization. Additionally, unit carton is a common method of storing filled bags. This type of outer packaging ensures complete lack of light access at every stage of the logistics process.

 

So which foil should you choose?

Functionality.

One of the key parameters in assessing the suitability of the packaging for storage purposes is its barrier properties, which can be ensured by the use of an appropriate carrier such as EVOH, Met-PET and many others. In laboratory conditions, it is possible to determine the barrier level of a given package with high accuracy. However, in reality, the production (filling, packaging), logistic (storage and storage conditions, transport, distribution) and technical operations (treatment by the target customer, storage conditions, etc.) significantly affect the durability and functionality of the packaging. Years of experience and tests carried out in laboratory conditions (transport tests and simulations with the use of vibration methods) have proved significant differences in the durability of packaging made of EVOH film compared to Met-PET film. In particular, we are talking about the number of generated microdamages, which significantly affect the deterioration of foil mechanics (foil strength) and worsen the barrier properties of the package. One of the methods of testing the susceptibility of film and entire packaging to durability throughout the distribution process is the Gelbo method. It consists in cyclic twisting a sheet of foil through an angle of 460 °. The foil sheets treated in this way are then checked for the number of microdamages or the level of oxygen permeability (OTR). Below we present the results of our tests carried out on EVOH film and Met-PET film. The samples were subjected to 900 cycles and examined for the number of microdamages.

 

         

           EVOH FOIL                                         MET-PET FOIL

 

Analyzing the above results, it can be concluded that the number of microcracks in the EVOH film is much lower than in the case of Met-PET film. Thus, it is confirmed by the argument that EVOH film can, under certain conditions, successfully replace Met-PET film.

 

Ecology.

Another important factor in choosing the right packaging is its possible environmental impact. Especially now, when there is a growing awareness of users about the fate of used packaging, the method of recovering secondary raw materials or potential environmental fees (e.g. the fee for extended producer responsibility). Based on the recommendations of the RecyClass group, we can conclude that flexible packaging made of Met-PET film will be classified as low compatibility (D-E-F) due to the difficult process of post treatment towards obtaining secondary raw materials. At the same time, packaging based on EVOH film (classified as limited capatibility C-D), can in most cases be further processed to recover, among others, polyethylene (LDPE).

 

Based on our experience and the collected knowledge, increasingly bag in box packaging made of Met-PET film is converted into packaging made of EVOH film while maintaining full functionality and durability of the packaging.

Newsletter 29 March 2021

Ladies and gentlemen,

For some time we have noticed that the market of raw materials, including plastics, has a clear tendency to increase prices. The production capacity for PE and PP granules is limited for various reasons that are reported by suppliers and manufacturers on an ongoing basis.

Among the most frequently mentioned are production problems, such as unexpected failures or technological difficulties. We have noticed production downtime in petrochemical plants in the USA due to extreme winter. The supply of gasoline and ethylene was also limited due to lower crude oil production last year.

Another key reason is the logistic disruptions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which translate into the suspension of deep-sea transport and an increase in prices for container freight on the Europe-Asia route. Imports to the EU were also limited due to the arbitration of exporters in the USA and Russia.

The constraints on the availability of raw materials, coupled with the continued high demand for these materials, are also of great importance.

Our Customer Service Department monitors both the prices of raw materials and the main indicators related to them on an ongoing basis. According to the ICIS portal, the price of LDPE raw material has increased over 4 months from:

48 week 2020 – EUR 1320/t LDPE

down

11 weeks 2021 – EUR 2000/t LDPE

This gives an increase of 51%.

For similar reasons, we can also observe an increase in prices on the paper market, mainly due to the significant demand for this product. From the information we receive, it amounts to 5-10%. Additionally, there is a deficit in the availability of selected types of paper, including for the production of cardboard.

The future is uncertain. Analysts’ forecasts for both further price increases and shortages of raw materials will persist in Q2 and Q3.

Therefore, in order for the production process to proceed without unnecessary delays, we ask you to plan orders in advance. For our part, we will do everything to meet your needs and meet the designated delivery times.

We will keep you informed about any changes.

 

Best regards,

BIBP TEAM
