Polyamide films offer a unique combination of mechanical, thermal, optical and barrier properties and, due to the water absorption capacity typical of polyamide, are equipped with a natural plasticizing effect, which makes our films particularly suitable for thin and flexible, but still mechanically resistant, heat-stable and, last but not least, transparent applications.

In addition, polyamide films can be excellently laminated (i.e. combined with other polymers), printed and metallized.

After lamination, for example with polyethylene (PE), the polyamide layer gives the entire composite special mechanical properties, on which the well-known excellent deep-drawing ability of such structures is based.

If necessary, our polyamide films can be sterilized using various sterilization methods such as superheated steam, ethylene oxide or gamma (γ) radiation.

Our consistent quality ensures optimal process performance and end product performance.

Polyamide films are used in a variety of applications, both as monofilms (CPA) and as part of laminating composites (OPA and CPA films). These include possible uses in the non-food sector for various industrial and consumer goods, for medical and pharmaceutical products as well as flexible packaging for food and animal feed.

Our polyamide films have broad approval for direct and indirect food contact as well as for medical applications in accordance with various supra-regional and country-specific norms and standards. Above all, relevant EU directives such as EU Directive 10/2011, the requirements of the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (the former BgVV or BGA), as well as the specifications of the Food & Drug Association (FDA) in the USA.

A polyamide film is a transparent and flexible surface structure. It usually consists of polyamide 6, a polar and semi-crystalline thermoplastic material, and is available from us in thicknesses between 12 µm and 200 µm. In addition to the classic flat film (also called Cast PA film “CPA”), we also offer oriented polyamide films (OPA or BOPA, as a biaxial, i.e. 2-dimensionally stretched PA film).

Polyamide films are recyclable monofilms that offer a unique combination of mechanical, optical, thermal and barrier properties, enabling a wide range of possible uses. These include films for a wide variety of technical applications, e.g. in the construction industry or for high-performance composites, for medical or pharmaceutical packaging or, supported by the proven safety for food use, for a wide variety of flexible food packaging.

Due to their unique property profile, they are the basis for replacing metallic materials or glass, which have to be manufactured using much more energy-intensive processes. In addition, they intensively support the so-called “downgauging”, the development of ever thinner film structures, which contributes to saving resources.

Polyamide films are of course recyclable; For monofilm applications in the technical sector, the material cycles can be easily closed and recycling can be practiced. For the recycling of composite materials or co-extruded multilayer films, both material (mechanical) and material (chemical, energetic) recycling can be achieved under adapted processing conditions.

In addition, we are working on new products using bio-based or fully recycled polyamide qualities.

The basis of our film production is a machine park that corresponds to the latest technology and is constantly improved and further developed in close cooperation with renowned mechanical engineering companies. We operate cast film systems for the production of sequentially biaxially stretched, oriented PA film (OPA) as well as for the production of unstretched cast films (CPA, CPBT).

We also have the necessary equipment for surface activation and assembly.

“No quality product without quality assurance.” To ensure this, our films are put through their paces in our in-house quality laboratory using the most modern procedures before they are delivered to our customers. The most important methods for determining mechanical, thermal and optical properties of our polyamide films are available here.
