What the materials cover

These presentation materials show how barrier films for food packaging can be dimensioned so that product protection, costs and sustainability are balanced. They cover requirements for food packaging materials, the barrier properties of available packaging substrates, organic and inorganic barriers, and active and passive barrier systems. Also covered are food spoilage basics, packaging concepts for sensitive products, testing and specification, and a market overview. Exercises on property profiles and multilayer structures deepen the content. The materials suit professionals in production, development, quality assurance, purchasing and sales who select, use or develop barrier films.
