Mylar® RL52AF

RL52af

Thickness(s)

19, 31, 43

Product Description

Mylar® RL52AF is a biaxially oriented polyester film with an EVA based heat-sealable coating incorporating ant-fog properties on one surface and plain polyester on the other. It is typically used as a heat sealable lidding film for fresh refrigerated foods such as salads, produce and sandwiches. Mylar® RL52AF provides a peelable seal when heat-sealed to APET, CPET, PVC, polyethylene and polystyrene. Seals to polypropylene are only achieved at higher temperatures, so other RL films are recommended. In cooking applications Mylar® RL52AF is not suitable for use in conventional ovens and has temperature limitations when used in microwave ovens. The anti-fog properties minimise fogging during freezing, chilling and cooking and also improves clarity when ‘breathable’ products such as fresh vegetables are packed.

Key Features

  • Peelable seals when sealed to a wide range of substrates
  • Good anti-fog properties
  • Excellent aroma and flavour barrier
  • Seals withstand the presence of acids and grease from products
  • Available corona treated on the plain surface for improved printability* (type RL52AFT)
