ViForm™ materials are manufactured to satisfy the quality standards of the packaging industry. Available as a standard solution or tailored to meet specific customer requirements, our materials offer excellent transparency and ease of processing. All our products are recyclable and some are produced from recycled material to allow for environmentally friendly solutions.
Other features include:
- Excellent transparency
- Deliverable in opaque film
- Outstanding chemical inertia
- Reduced shrinkage characteristics for FFS packaging
- High rigidity
- Good mechanical resistance
- Environmentally friendly (No chlorine, recyclable)
Applications
The main application is blisters for packaging of non-food products. In particular customers can find a wide range of APET and PETG thermoformable films to meet various requirements including on line packaging on Form Fill Seal (FFS) machines.
We also provide solutions for various non-food packaging applications like conductivity modified PS for the packaging of electronic devices or handling trays used in manufacturing facilities. Typical applications include:
- Containers
- Blisters
- Handling trays
- Transit trays
- Trays
- Various packaging parts
Technical support
Understanding the importance of strategic partnerships, VitasheetGroup works closely with some of the leading packaging machine manufacturers to develop the best technical solutions that will guarantee the highest processing speed on line.
For example, for FFS applications we can offer technical support and a range of solutions for customers wanting to transition from PVC packaging to a more environmentally friendly PET solution.
Key Products
| Main products | Description | Application | Key benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| ViForm Antistatic 5150 | An opaque HIPS roll modified with anti-static additives. This material is designed for general packaging where conductivity requirements are not high. It is also good for reducing dust contamination. | Display trays Trays for electronic devices |
- Easy to form - Reduce dust attraction - Full color range |
| ViForm Dissipative 5160 |
This material is designed for electronic device packaging where low surface resistivity requirements are critical and has been modified to deliver permanent dissipative properties that are not moisture dependent. |
Packaging of ESD sensitive devices | - Easy to form - Available in colours - Permanent dissipative property |
| ViForm conductive 5175 | This material is designed for packaging electronic devices that are very sensitive to Electro Static Discharge (ESD). It has permanent conductive properties, without the dependence of a humid atmosphere. Available in black only. | Packaging of ESD sensitive devices |
- Easy to form - Permanent dissipative property |
| ViForm eco 5400 |
A recycled HIPS roll that has a fairly good balance of stiffness and toughness. This material is an economically/ environmentally friendly alternative to virgin HIPS, where colour and surface quality is not critical. |
Transit trays | - Easy to form - Economic |
| ViForm 6100 | An ABS roll that suits most packaging applications where robustness is paramount. This material offers very good toughness with a high degree of rigidity, and heat resistance. | Trays |
- Easy to form - Very robust |
| ViForm Clear BLS 30 | An APET roll developed for non-food, blisters applications, offering excellent clarity, coupled with the stiffness similar to Polycarbonate. This material can be modified with specific properties for FFS machines. | Blisters Trays |
- Stiffness - Transparency - High gloss finish - Special FFS grade |
| ViForm Clear BLS 30 ECO |
An environmentally friendly roll of APET that has been developed as a cost effective, environmentally friendly solution for non-food packaging. |
Blisters Trays |
- Stiffness - High gloss finish - Economic - Special FFS grade |
| ViForm Clear BLS 40 | A PETG roll that is designed mostly for general packaging applications like blisters. This material is easier to cut and thermoform allowing for more complex thermoforming compared to APET as it is not sensitive to crystallisation. It can also be welded using HF or heat. | Blisters Trays |
- Allows complex thermoforming - High gloss finish - Transparency - can be welded |
| ViForm Clear BLS 40 ECO |
This PETG roll is an economic and environmentally friendly alternative to BLS 40 with similar cutting and thermoforming properties. It can also be welded using HF or heat. |
Blisters Trays |
- Allows complex thermoforming - High gloss finish - Economic - can be welded |
| ViForm Clear BLS 434 | Made from APET, this product has most of the characteristics of PETG (Easier thermoforming, Easier welding) thanks to its external PETG layer, while preserving the cost with an APET internal layer. It can also be welded using HF or heat. | Blisters Trays |
- Stiffness - High gloss finish - Transparency - can be welded |
| ViForm Clear rPET 30 |
A high quality APET roll that is designed to offer an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for general purpose packaging. It includes 50% rPET (reprocessed post consumers recyclates). |
Blisters Trays |
- Stiffness - incorporates post-consumer recyclates - High gloss finish - Special FFS grade |
| ViForm Clear rPET 30 eco | An APET material that is designed to offer an environmentally friendly and cost-effective, solution for general purpose packaging. It includes 50% regrinds and 50 % rPET (reprocessed post consumers recyclates). | Blisters Trays |
- Stiffness - incorporates post-consumer recyclates - Economic - Special FFS grade |
