New environment-friendly LumiLid films offer outstanding performance.

North Kingstown, RI—Toray Plastics (America), Inc., announces the introduction of new bio-based lidding films—LumiLid bio-based, dual-ovenable lidding films, that are manufactured with Toray’s proprietary sustainable resin blends made with more than 50 percent renewable feedstocks.

Toray Plastics (America) is a leading manufacturer of polyester, polypropylene, bio-based, and metalized films for flexible and rigid packaging, lidding, graphic, industrial, optical, and electronic applications.

Bio-based LumiLid films were created to lessen the impact on the environment, as they use fewer petroleum resources while they are being manufactured, and to meet the needs of environment-conscious end users and consumers. In addition, like all LumiLid films, these are solvent-free and may alleviate end-users’ concerns about solvent retention, as well as enhance the films’ sustainability profile.

The new LumiLid films are designed for frozen, wet and dry food, and dairy applications. They are FDA-compliant for use with oven temperatures of up to 400°F for 30 minutes. LumiLid films are also Interstate Milk Shippers (IMS)-certified, so they offer another level of assurance for dairy customers.

“The next generation of innovative, bio-based film technology has arrived,” says Toray senior director of sales and marketing Milan Moscaritolo. “The option to choose a bio-based lidding film that has so many advanced features and such high-performance capability presents a unique opportunity to end users and converters.”

LumiLid bio-based films have the same superior performance qualities that are characteristic of the LumiLid brand. They have a low seal initiation (SIT), broad seal range, outstanding seal integrity, and an easy peel. They are available in clear, white, and metalized formats.
