Protact is a material for peel-off end rings on canned foods that offers superior performance over heat seal lacquers. It has a 100% polypropylene coating that forms a stronger bond with retort packaging membranes compared to lacquers. This allows Protact end rings to better withstand the pressures of high-temperature food sterilization while maintaining easy opening properties. Protact also has benefits like a wider heat sealing window for higher production speeds and yields, as well as reduced risks of seal failure.

Protact速 Corus Packaging Plus For peel-off end rings
Protact in combination with Alcan Packagings Alufix速 Retort membrane provides an outstanding bond to withstand the challenging pressures of continuous retorting while keeping the excellent peel properties The modern and fresh appearance of peel-off ends (POEs) conveys a top-of- the-line image. Peel-off ends help build brand differentiation. With printing and embossing, the peel-off end delivers real stand-out on the shelf. This enables brand owners to pursue market growth within the canned food sector. Protact, with its superb qualities and excellent performance, is the material of choice to meet the high requirements for peel-off end rings. Being suitable for both counterpressure and non- counterpressure continuous retort systems, using Protact opens up a huge variety of markets like vegetables and soup. Large pressure differences can develop during continuous heat processing of canned foods. Only Protact offers the capability to produce POE rings capable of tolerating these extreme conditions. The secret lies in the combination of the 100% polypropylene coating, which has excellent adhesion with the steel substrate. Furthermore, the elasticity of the polymer on polymer bond with the membrane is only achievable with Protact. This is confirmed by Alcan Packaging, producer of aluminium membranes. Protact in combination with Alcan Packagings Alufix速 Retort membrane provides an outstanding bond to withstand the challenging pressures of continuous retorting while keeping the excellent peel properties, comments Andreas Ziegler, responsible for product development.

Protact速 a new dimension peel-off end rings made from Protact add a new dimension to manufacturing convenience. Protact has a 100% heat seal coating layer of polypropylene of consistent thickness. It is this PP-layer that offers several benefits for manufacturing, processing and the performance of the ends, compared to alternative heat seal options. As the convenience packaged food market rapidly expands, so does the demand for peel-off ends. Be sure to choose the best material option available for the ring! Find out how Protact can give you a competitive edge in the fast growing convenience food packaging sector. We will be pleased to talk to you in more detail about all the benefits of Protact.

Optimised processing Wider operating window for heatsealing During processing the operating window of Protact is much wider than that of heat seal lacquered material. For fixed tool pressure the range of temperatures at which a satisfactory seal is produced using Protact, is significantly wider than lacquered material at all speeds. This is especially significant at higher speeds where temperatures must be accurately controlled. Protact therefore offers can makers a much more robust processing operation with subsequently much higher yields. Also the heatsealing time of peel-off membranes to Protact rings can be significantly reduced thanks to the 100% polypropylene coating of Protact. This offers can makers the potential to significantly increase output. High resistance to variations during sterilisation Peel-off ends with a ring made of Protact are more resistant to temperature, time and pressure variations throughout the retort process. This gives fillers and brand-owners an efficient filling process: more filling options, a reduction of operational risks during retorting, a significant reduction of the risk of premature bursting of the seals and thus a lower rejection rate. Enables lower cost membrane options Lower sealing temperatures can be utilised with Protact. Not only does this save energy costs, it potentially also enables the use of modern printed multi-layer membranes.

High performance ends Superior seal integrity Seal integrity is one of the most important aspects in food packaging. A seal needs to be tight during sterilisation and later on the shelf. A higher level of security is achievable through the use of Protact. Due to the 100% polypropylene bond between Protact and the membrane the seal integrity of Protact is superior to that of heat seal lacquers. When heat seal lacquers are used, the bond is not continuous, as a polypropylene dispersion in epoxy is used to seal to the membrane. With Protact the seal integrity is simply superior, with associated reduced risk of inadequate seals being produced. Enhanced corrosion protection with Protact The retort curl is effectively protected against corrosion by the combined benefits of Protact. The polymer coating is flexible and formable, enabling total protection in the critical highly formed curl area. Consistent ease of opening The superior seal integrity of peel-off ends with a Protact ring does not mean the ends are more difficult to open. On the contrary, the ease of opening is comparable to that of heat seal lacquered rings. Excellent food safety Protact fully complies with EU and USA food contact legislation. Protact does not contain PVC or Bisphenol-A nor BADGE. Improved overall pack performance Packs made with peel-off ends utilising Protact exhibit superior seal integrity and therefore inherently offer longer shelf life.
