Richmond Technology engineers developed the CAV-40
product in response to the market demand for a high barrier clear
film with excellent cleanliness characteristics. The proprietary
outer layer delivers extraordinary moisture vapor barrier properties
while the inner sealant layer offers outstanding cleanliness characteristics.
None of the harmful additives. (i.e. slip, anti-block, etc.) used
in traditional polyethylene sealant layers are present. The high clarity allows for inspection of package contents and bar code scanning.
CAV-40 is the choice for clean transparent moisture barrier protection
of sensitive product during transport and/or storage.
