• 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.

• 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

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 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.

• 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.

• 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.
