Technica Data Product description Aluminium foil of 30-50 μm with colourless primer or white nitro lacquer on one side and heatsealing lacquer on the other side. Coating properties: Excellent adhesion to aluminium foil (resistant to adhesive tape test). Good printing results using nitrocellulosic inks and UV inks. (Inks’ resistance is responsibility of the printer). Resistant to heatsealing temperature (max. 220ºC 1s). Water resistant (30 min at room temperature). Recommended alloys: EN AW 8079, EN AW 1200, EN AW 8011A (according to European Standards (EN 573-3)). Customer can specifiy its needs in order to choose the best thickness, alloy and temper of the metal. Alloy 8079 is recommended when the lids are to be punched to determine the best thickness, alloy, and metal state. The alloy 8079 is recommended when the covers will be stamped. Product Data Sheet: Heatsealing lacquers: Authorized for contact with foodstuffs (FDA). Water resistant (30 min at room temperature). Resistant to boiling water (5 min/100ºC). Lacquer porosity (15 min) < 5 pores/m2 (20g CuSO4 /50cc HCl(35%) /1000cc. H2O) (The resistance to this test is up to 2 hours with the anticorrosive version of the lacquer) There are different types depending of material to which the lid must seal: Heatsealing lacquer to PS/PVC: Peel strength to PS > 5.5 N/15mm.
