Barrier films are thin plastic sheets that provide protection against moisture, oxygen, odors and other gases. They are commonly used in food packaging like chips bags and meat packages to preserve freshness. Barrier films can also be laminated with other materials to create composite films with enhanced barrier properties. These films are well-suited for applications such as pharmaceutical and medical packaging where moisture and gas barriers are important.

Barrier Films Applications
Barrier films are used for applications in protective clothing and packaging. These are also used as barrier against spills, as needed in carpet underlayments or baby seats. They offer excellent resistance to a wide variety of chemicals for chemical resistant clothing. They are well suited in food packaging where moisture, oxygen and odor barrier is essential. It is ideal for applications such as cheese packaging, sausage chubs, and capliners. Some common examples for barrier films are found in grocery store. Bags used for packaging potato chips and meat

These films provide moisture protection in health care and pharmaceutical blister packaging and other industrial applications. They are also valued in exotic military, aerospace, aircraft, and electronic applications. Barrier films are used to make different packaging products like

Plastic Film Laminating
Grafix Plastics provides plastic film lamination services which allow us to combine any number of our film products together to create composite film products, up to 38" wide. We can also laminate your plastic film materials together, or laminate your materials to ours. Definition: a sheet of material made by bonding two or more sheets or layers. The process consists of "sandwiching" a cell between sheets of clear plastic laminate in an effort to preserve it. There are two basic ways to laminate. The first is to use pouch lamination. This process requires the use of a clear plastic laminate that is sealed on one side and the document is placed inside this laminating pouch. It is then run through a laminating machine that applies heat and pressure to seal the pouch. There are several different sizes of laminating pouches ranging from the small business card sizes to the larger legal size and menu pouches. Pouch lamination comes in a variety of thicknesses measured in millimeters. Some of the most common mils for pouch lamination are 3,5,7 and 10 mil. 3 mil is the thinnest stock and 10 mil is a stronger lamination with a thicker and harder shell. Coastal Business Supplies offers a wide variety of sizes and mil's. If you can't find what you are looking for don't hesitate to contact a sales rep and let them do the legwork for you. Another form of lamination is called "roll lamination". Our laminating rolls are composed of a perfect blend of polyester and adhesive, which results in smooth, clear lamination. You won't find any scrap material or 2nds being used to make our laminating rolls. Coastal Business Supplies only offers the best lamination quality available and at the best price. Roll lamination is a process that involves two laminating rolls, a top and a bottom roll, and is placed on the machine with the glue sides facing each other. As the rolls are "uncoiled" a document is placed between the two pieces of laminate and are sealed as they travel through the rollers and the heat is applied. It is important to leave a small edge around the document to allow the lamination to adhere to itself. Some form of trimming is usually required with roll lamination. This lamination process is generally used for larger volume items as it can run at higher speeds and in a continuous roll. Again, Coastal Business Supplies offers a wide variety of Roll laminating in 3, 5, 7, and 10 mil thicknesses and the friendly sales staff would be more than happy to help find supplies for your custom laminating needs.
A vacuum insulated panel (VIP) is a form of thermal insulation consisting of a nearly gas-tight enclosure surrounding a rigid core, from which the air has been evacuated. It is used in building construction to provide somewhat better insulation performance than conventional insulation materials. By removing air from fiber, powder, or foam core materials VIPs achieve high thermal performance at a fraction of the thickness of cut-to-fit insulation materials. VIP products are made-to-fit architectural details, with specified service lives for floor, wall, and roof constructions. Quality control of component manufacture is important.
A VIP uses the insulating effects of a vacuum to produce much higher thermal resistance than conventional insulation. Conventional insulation produces an R-value of eight or less per inch (fiberglass being towards the lower end and foam panels towards the higher end). VIPs are commonly as high as R-30 per inch, and have achieved commercially viable levels of R-50 per inch[1]. VIPs consist of:
Membrane walls, used to prevent air from getting into the vacuum area
Core material, used to hold the vacuum inside the membrane while preventing the membrane walls from collapsing. (e.g.fumed silica, aerogel, glass fibers or foams)
Chemicals to collect gases leaked through the membrane or offgassed from the membrane materials are added to VIP with glass fibers or foams cores, as core with bigger pore size requires vacuum level lower than about 1 mbar during the planned service life. (Getter)
The near-vacuum inside VIP's greatly reduces conduction and convection of heat. This is similar to the way in which a vacuum flask works, but without the reflective metal coatings, as the core material reduces infrared radiation. VIPs offer very high R-value by thickness (30-50R value per inch compared with 5-8R/in for various foams and a lower 2-3.54R/in for common fiberglass batting), but by cost and lifespan it is less competitive. Compared to more conventional insulating materials VIPs have a high cost/rvalue ratio. Unlike fiberglass (although foam insulation does age), VIPs age as it is impossible to completely keep air from filling the vacuum. As air leaks in and pressure of the panel normalizes with its surrounding air its R-value deteriorates. Although their higher cost compared with fiberglass and foam generally keep them out of traditional housing situations, their spectacular R/in values make them useful in situation where high insulation requirements or space constraints make traditional insulation impractical. (Foam sheets are used over fiberglass often for the same goal of higher R/in, despite higher cost for the same R value).
