The excellent
thermal properties of PET allow processing and use over a wider
temperature range (-70 to +150 ¼C) than most common packaging films.
It is ideal for retort packaging, dual oven able lidding and 'boil in
the bag' applications. PET film has the chemical inertness and good
gas barrier properties that are important for many medical,
pharmaceutical and food products, they can be used in the demanding
steam, ethylene oxide and radiation sterilization processes
