VidePak’s Edge:
- Starlinger Circular Looms: Maintain ±0.1mm tape tension for defect-free weaving.
- UV Masterbatch: 2% BASF Tinuvin 622 additive—prevents degradation in 1,200-hour sun tests.
Client Success:
A Colombian coffee exporter reported 0% fabric tears after 6 months in damp warehouses.
2.2 Coating Technologies – The Moisture Barrier
Layer 1: Extrusion Coating
- Material: 15μm PP/PE blend—blocks 98% water vapor (ASTM E96).
- Machinery: German W&H lines—ensure ±2μm coating uniformity.
Layer 2: Nanocomposite Barrier
- Material: 2% montmorillonite clay—reduces oxygen transmission by 80% (ISO 15105).
- VidePak Patent: #CN201810123456—critical for food-grade compliance.
Layer 3: Hot-Melt Adhesive
- Brand: Henkel Technomelt—withstands 80°C temperatures without delamination.
- Precision: 0.1mm coating thickness—eliminates channeling leaks.
Client ROI:
A Brazilian fertilizer manufacturer achieved 99.7% caking-free product after 6-month storage.
3. Performance Metrics: Beyond Lab Tests
3.1 Key Specifications
Parameter | VidePak Standard | Industry Average | Real-World Impact |
---|---|---|---|
Water Vapor Transmission | <5 g/m²/day (ASTM E96) | 15–20 g/m²/day | Prevents cement caking and coffee mold |
Burst Strength | 1,200 kPa (ISO 2758) | 800–1,000 kPa | Withstands 1.2-ton fork tine impacts |
