Unveils First Ever Bio-based Ultra-thin Packaging Film at the Innovation Takes Root Conference EarthFirst® UL 9µ / .36 Mil High Performance Sealant Orlando, FL, April 8, 2016– Plastic Suppliers Inc. announced a breakthrough in plastic film making with the unveiling of an ultra-thin PLA sealant film for the flexible packaging industry. PLA (polylactic acid) is a biodegradable and compostable plastic derived from renewable sugar compounds found in corn starch, tapioca roots, sugar beets, sugarcane, and most plant life. Sealant films, when laminated to packaging films, bond to themselves to form hermetic seals and are used on a wide range of pouches, bags, and sachets used for flexible packaging. The new film, EarthFirst® UL, overcomes the machinability issues common with thinner, lighter gauge films and reduces the volumetric weight of common sealant films entering the waste stream from 75%-150% depending on the application. Demand for sealant webs in the US alone is 6-7 billion pounds annually.
