COVERIS
LOW-DENSITY
FFS SOLUTIONS
@ INTERPACK
Mont-de-Marsan (France) 30/04/2014 – Coveris presents
innovative, low-density Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) solutions for
the Dairy industry at Düsseldorf’s Interpack in May 2014.
Latest FFS developments by Coveris
NEOCELL® is the result of continuous development & improvement of polystyrene (PS) and
polypropylene (PP) sheet for Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) applications in the Dairy industry. The
innovation will be presented in May at this year’s Interpack in Düsseldorf at the Coveris
Stand E43 in Hall 10.
NEOCELL® is a thermoformable and breakable co-extruded 3-layer sheet made of PS or PP
with a gaz-injected middle layer and optional strengthened external layers containing mineral
fillers to ameliorate mechanical properties of the final product.
It is a flexible and modular concept in terms of density by injecting the necessary amount of
gaz needed. Low-density NEOCELL® sheet is the result of the resource-saving, sustainable
technology which achieves, compared to similar compact sheet, a weight reduction up to
26% for PP (up to 25% for PS) – without the use of chemical foaming agents. Thus, it
achieves material savings while improving the carbon footprint through a significant CO2
reduction.
To offer a future-oriented packaging solution free of polystyrol, Coveris has made a real
breakthrough innovation by launching NEOCELL® PP+ beginning of 2014 as the first
thermoformable and breakable PP sheet for FFS applications.
The low-density FFS sheet by Coveris is available as natural, white and bi-colored sheet
and in a wide range of dimensions.
The sheet innovation is a functional and safe packaging for Dairy applications and adjustable
to all kinds of FFS lines. NEOCELL® is exclusive from the Coveris FFS Center of Excellence
in Mont-de-Marsan, France.
