Barrier Blown Film

With our 5, 7, 8 & 9 layer capabilities, NEX Performance Films can produce films that provide the highest levels of protection from oxygen, moisture, heat or cold, or aroma. Barrier films are ideal for applications where package integrity or extended shelf life are essential, such as meat snacks, cheese, nuts, pet treats, or dairy products.

NEX Performance Films has been manufacturing multi-layer barrier films for two decades, so we understand the requirements for these demanding applications and have an extensive portfolio of proven products and millions of pounds of successful film applications in a variety of markets.  We are one of the largest non-integrated manufacturers/suppliers of barrier films.  We can make barrier films with up to nine layers—with multiple blends in each layer—to meet even the most specific or challenging packaging needs. We also have a lab line that allows us to do some of our development “off line” which provides some additional speed to market for our customers in the key developmental phase of a project.

By adding certain resins, we can also engineer films with even higher barrier properties, toughness, sealability, and abrasion resistance. NEX Performance Films has years of experience producing films using:

• Nylon 6 and Nylon 6, 66
• HDPE
• PP
• EVOH
• LDPE
• MDPE
• LLDPE
• Metallocenes (mLLDPE, POP)

In addition, we have experience working with some more exotic resins such as:

• Pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA)
• Thermoplastic urethane (TPU)
• FDA-approved additives for aesthetics and performance enhancements
