Cooking- and "sous-vide" applications

For products that will be pasteurized, filled hot, or which are suited for the sous vide* cooking method, the VACUshrink CP60 (shrink bag) and VACUpouch CP90 (vacuum pouch), VACUflex Crystal HB (PP/PA-EVOH-PA/PE) lidding thermoforming films are well suited.  

These high barrier co-extrusion blown films have the following properties:

• EVOH barrier
• Heat resistance
• High transparency and gloss
• Good puncture resistance
• High shrink properties of over 45% (VACUshrink CP60)
• Material downgauging (VACUflex) 

*The sous vide cooking method allows gentle cooking of meat, fish, vegetables or fruit at low temperatures in a vacuum pouch.  For this trendy cooking method, Vacufol GmbH specifically designed the VACUpouch CP90 (sous vide vacuum pouch) and VACUflex Crystal HB (sous vide thermoforming films).
