At kp, we're always looking for the newest technological breakthrough in rigid film. Our innovations improve materials so they perform better for you and lower your costs.
From a worldwide leader in the production of rigid polyester films and a trusted source for pharmaceutical films comes the next generation of pharmaceutical packaging films – Pentapharm® kpVantage™ films. These films are high-performance polyester films which incorporate a wide range of structures to meet pharmaceutical packaging needs. These innovative films are designed to be processed on existing equipment maintaining all critical package components – no need to change tooling, lidding, or package design.
Pentapharm® kpVantage™ films:
- Can be used as mono films for pharmaceuticals requiring low moisture barrier or they can be integrated into barrier structures for products that require more protection from moisture and gas
- Can be processed on your existing packaging lines, without modification, new tooling, or need for specialized equipment
- Work with existing foil lidding materials and structures with universal heat-seal coatings and within normal sealing temperature ranges
- Offer a wide forming window for optimal thermoforming
- Form at lower temperatures, decreasing energy use and increasing line speed
- Punch and perforate cleanly, with no angel hair
- Offer a full range of barrier protection with common contact material
- Process consistently with no neck-in and good registration
- Cut easily for less knife wear
- Have increased yields due to lower specific gravity, more packages per pound/kilo
- Lay flat for improved performance on filling stations
- Have enhanced tensile properties for superior toughness
- Provide brilliant clarity and superior optical and surface qualities
Pentapharm® kpVantage™ films are offered globally and manufactured throughout the worldwide network of kp’s production facilities.
By combining ACLAR® film and PVdC coating, these films offer the highest moisture and oxygen barrier properties available in the world today — beyond what ACLAR® or PVdC products can offer alone.
- Four-layer structure consisting of PVC/PVdC/ACLAR®/PVC
- Engineered for sensitive drugs requiring ultra, ultra-high moisture and oxygen barrier properties
- Can fit the most demanding applications without special tooling or expensive equipment requirements, as PVC is the contact layer
- Specifically designed to have excellent lay flat for superior machinability on standard form/fill/seal packaging lines
- Available in transparent or opaque film, the ACLAR® can be customized to meet your barrier requirements
Pentapharm® kpMax™ S04 films are ideal for products that require ultra, ultra-high barrier properties in a transparent, small footprint package for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical blister packaging applications.

This four-layer film, consisting of PVC/EVOH-PE/ACLAR®/PVC, offers ultra-high oxygen barrier properties which have otherwise been unavailable in Pentapharm® ACLAR® structures.
- Engineered for sensitive drugs requiring ultra-high moisture and oxygen barrier properties
- Can fit the most demanding applications without special tooling or expensive equipment requirements, as PVC is the contact layer
- Specifically designed to have excellent lay flat for superior machinability on standard form/fill/seal packaging lines
- Available in transparent or opaque film, the ACLAR® can be customized to meet your barrier requirements
- Suitable for applications where the package may be exposed to direct UV
Pentapharm® ACLAR® G04 films are ideal for products that require ultra-high barrier properties in a transparent, small footprint package for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical blister packaging applications.

This computer simulation program introduces finite element analysis for blister pack thermoforming. The program provides thickness distribution, surface area, and permeability estimates of thermoformed cavities. These calculations allow package engineers to design optimal blisters around product shapes and barrier requirements.
Package designers, technicians, and engineers may use the program for a variety of projects for existing and new package applications.
- You can explore the effects of tool geometry, film types, and process conditions before running actual experiments.
- Evaluate barrier improvement and optimization for existing tools and films. Understand cause and effect while addressing constraints.
- Map out the range of options for both thermoformed cavity and machine layout, while addressing the necessary constraints and requirements of the blister package shape and barrier.
- Thickness distribution calculations often estimate measured values with better than 10% accuracy for both pressure forming and plug-assisted thermoforming applications.
- Assist film selection and provide package engineering support services.
Pentapharm® ACLAR® S03 is a barrier film that is specially formulated to give you high-speed productivity gains. It is ideal for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products that require strong moisture protection and enhanced performance.
- Pentapharm® ACLAR® S03 is the only ACLAR®-laminated film in a three-layer symmetrical structure (PVC/ACLAR®/PVC). Symmetrical films improve lay-flat of finished packages, increasing productivity in blister packing operations, on both packaging lines and end-use applications, including vinyl face-seal applications.
- This three-layer film provides improved formed-cavity moisture barrier than non-symmetrical structures.
- It thermoforms in the same temperature range as PVC mono film and the PVC skins offer a low coefficient-of-friction, preventing blocking on preheat plates and offering more consistent material flow during the thermoforming process.
- It runs on standard PVC tooling, is sealable to all standard vinyl-compatible lidstocks, and is ultrasonically sealable to vinyl face-seal cards without coatings.
- Pentapharm® ACLAR® S03 is available in all ACLAR® formulations from moderate to ultra-high moisture barrier.

kp's innovative Pentapharm® alfoil® SG film gives you enhanced performance. This new PVdC formulation lowers the coefficient-of-friction to significantly improve the film's slip properties. This offers numerous benefits:
- Pentapharm® alfoil® SG film gives you higher line and machine throughput yields.
- It prevents blocking on preheat plates to offer more consistent material flow during thermoforming. More uniform thermoforming produces barrier improvements in the formed cavity.
- It eliminates the need for specially coated tooling, pre-heat platen, and mould surfaces.
- You get enhanced tablet and gel/soft gel filling performance.
- The film significantly improves de-nest properties, both film-to-mold and blister-to-blister.
- Film and finished packages lay flatter, resulting in higher productivity in blister packing operations and enhanced product appeal.
Klöckner Pentaplast's Pentapharm® alfoil® SG film is suitable for all pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products and is available in all Pentapharm® alfoil® formulations, from moderate to ultra-high moisture and oxygen barrier.
- These films are equivalent to all current grades of available PVdC products.
- All Pentapharm® alfoil® SG films meet regulatory requirements and are DMF listed (PVdC modification in full compliance with FDA and regulatory requirements).
- Pentapharm® alfoil® SG thermoforms in the same temperature range as PVC mono film, runs on standard PVC tooling, and is sealable to all standard vinyl-compatible lidstocks.
