These films are coated commonly with polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) and/or Acrylic (AC). The general characteristics of these films depend on the type of coating material used.
PVDC coated films have excellent moisture, oxygen, flavor and aroma barrier properties.
AC films also have great flavor and aroma barrier properties and good heat seal strength.

The Benefits of Specialty Coated Films
When it comes to specialty coated films, there are various benefits that industries can harness to improve product quality and shelf life. These films are not just barriers; they play an essential role in elevating the performance and efficiency of packaging solutions. Companies can finely tune the properties of these films based on factors such as thickness, types of coatings, and the materials used for the base films.
Enhanced Barrier Properties
Specialty coated films offer unmatched moisture and gas barriers. This is particularly beneficial for products sensitive to humidity and oxygen exposure. The coatings applied, such as PVDC, can drastically improve the shelf-life of perishable goods by creating a robust barrier.
Versatility in Application
One of the standout features of specialty coated films is their versatility. Whether it is for food packaging, white bopp, or industrial domains, these films can be customized for a wide array of applications. Companies can choose from an array of coatings including polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH) and acrylic (AC), depending on their specific requirements.
Improved Product Appearance
The high gloss and clarity provided by specialty coated films improve the aesthetic appeal of the packaging, making the product more attractive to consumers. This enhancement in appearance often translates to better product marketability and increased sales.
Diofan® PVDC for coatings applications
Consumer
Ideal combination of fundamental properties for food packaging solutions
Aqueous Diofan® PVDC dispersions enhance and upgrade packaging materials by giving them barrier properties which prevent the transmission of water vapor or oxygen, as well as odor absorption.

Diofan® PVDC coatings provide strong seals to make hermetic packages and improve the appearance of packaging through their transparency, gloss, print-adhesion, and scratch resistance.
Diofan® PVDC on Oriented PP Films
Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films are widely used for the packaging of biscuits, confectionery, snacks, cereals, salads & fresh products, overwraps for tobacco and perfumes, pet care, etc. which are very sensitive to humidity and oxygen. The sealability of BOPP films is obtained by coextrusion of different types of polypropylene. Sometimes, the sealing and the barrier properties are not sufficient to conveniently close the package and give adequate protection to the food.
For these reasons, most BOPP film producers have developed Diofan® PVDC coated structures that give good sealing properties as well as an enhanced water vapor or gas barrier. BOPP films coated with Diofan® PVDC on either one or both sides can be found in a variety of packaging applications.
Diofan® PVDC on PET Films
As well as oriented polypropylene, PET films are widely used in complexes for various packaging applications. When PET films are associated with Diofan® PVDC coatings, they become suitable as high-performance barrier films that can be used for example as a lid for thermoformed trays to pack fresh food, even under modified atmosphere (MAP). These films can also be found in stand-up pouches and in transparent and printed packaging solutions to protect fatty products like baked food, chocolate, olives, etc. Diofan® PVDC coated and laminated PET films can be pasteurized and used in the microwave.
Diofan® PVDC on Paper and Cellulosic Substrates
Due to their unrivaled performance profile, advanced paper and board packaging structures with Diofan® PVDC coatings are used to package bakery products, freeze-dried products, and water-sensitive materials, such as salt or bicarbonate.
The portfolio of solutions offers an effective barrier against the migration of contaminants into packaged foods, such as mineral oil (MOSH, MOAH) and other non-intentionally added substances. This protective feature is coupled with an improved sustainability profile compared to other Polyolefin based alternatives.
Soluble PVDC Ixan® Resins for Adhesion Promoter Formulations in the Printing Industry
Together with water-based PVDC dispersion of the Diofan® portfolio, Syensqo specialty polymers solutions for the consumer market also encompass soluble PVDC resins with excellent adhesion performances on aluminum, metalized films and substrates, plastic films, paper, cellulose film, steel, and wood. Ixan® SGA-1 is a multipurpose resin miscible in a wide range of common solvents at room temperature and it is suitable for subsequent coating with Diofan® PVDC waterborne dispersions.
