Most films used in food packaging are either totally olefinic (polyethylene or polypropylene) or have multilayer structures in which the inner polymer surface is olefinic. In 2010, Avient introduced the first anti-fog additive for polypropylene films that enabled anti-fog sealant film conversion without the need for surface treatment. Today, thanks to a development cooperation between a leading global supplier of additive and colorant masterbatches and a major producer of polyolefin thermoplastics, packaging film producers have the opportunity to select film- grade polypropylene for sealing layers that are highly transparent, can be efficiently processed and converted, and yield film that provides an excellent seal and yet still enables easy opening.
