BOPP film specialist Treofan now offers its customers phthalate-free packaging films on request, the company announced at interpack. To make these films, only phthalate-free base polymers are used in the extrusion process.
Treofan’s standard films already have a very low phthalate content of just 0.001 percent (< 10 mg/kg). By way of comparison, PVCs have concentrations of up to 30 percent.
