Performance

FDA Status
Hostaphan® 2600 series films have excellent slip and good dimensional stability over a wide temperature range. The primed surface provides enhanced adhesion to both aqueous and solvent based inks, coatings, adhesives and metallization. They can be coated or metallized to enhance barrier properties. The 2600 series are designed specifically for use in packaging applications

The plain side of Hostaphan® 2600 can be used for direct food contact applications subject to limitations found in 21 FCR 177.1630 and in accordance with good manufacturing practices. The chemically primed surface of 2600 can be used in direct contact with dry and fatty foods and with aqueous foods under low temperature conditions. Contact your Pilcher Hamilton sales representative for more information
