Dai Nippon Printing Develops Transparent Evaporated Film with Barrier Properties Equivalent to Those of Aluminum Foil.Tokyo, Japan, Feb 16, 2006 - (JCN JCN Japan Corporate News JCN Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience JCN Journal of Cardiovascular Nursing JCN Journal of Christian Nursing JCN Job Control Number JCN Journal of Child Neurology JCN joint communications network (US DoD) ) - Dai Nippon Printing Dai Nippon Printing (大日本印刷 Dai Nippon Insatsu (DNP DNP n. Deoxyribonucleoprotein; a complex of DNA and protein that usually yields DNA upon cell disruption and isolation. DNP 2,4-dinitrophenol. ) announced on February 16 that it has developed IB-PET-PXB, a transparent evaporated film with superior barrier properties, using its proprietary vapor deposition Vapor deposition Production of a film of material often on a heated surface and in a vacuum. Vapor deposition technology is used in a large variety of applications. and special coating techniques This list contains an overview of coating techniques for Thin-film deposition, found in the field of materials science. The techniques can be classified in various ways. Chemical vapor deposition techniques
The new film has barrier properties equivalent to those of aluminum foils. In particular, compared with the conventional transparent evaporated film for food packaging, the IB-PET-PXB film enhances water vapor barrier capability by a factor of five and oxygen barrier capability by a factor of three. Beginning in early April, DNP will market the new film as a substitute material for aluminum foil. The company envisions a wide range of applications from medical equipment and pharmaceuticals to electronic parts and food packaging. DNP expects to generate sales of 500 million yen ($4.2 mil) in fiscal 2006 and 3 billion yen ($25.4 mil) in fiscal 2009. Copyright [c] 2006 Japan Corporate News Network. All rights reserved. |
