Description
[Cadillac Products Packaging Company] A registered trademark for a Barrier films made from Aluminum foil sandwiched between a biaxial nylon film and layers of heat sealable Polyethylene. Some types of CADPAK contain an additional layer of Heavy Duty green coex on one side. CADPAK films are strong, waterproof, vaporproof, greaseproof and flexible. Originally made for military applications, CADPAK films have found its way into museums and has been used to seal wooden packing crates, display cases, and storage shelves since 1980. It has also been used to create air-tight sealed enclosures for pest eradication.
Specific parameters for CADPAK products are:
| Product | Structure | Thickness (mil) | Puncture resistance (lbs) | Tensile Strength (lbs/in) | Oxygen transmission (ml/m²d) | Water Vapor Transmission (gms/m²d) | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CADPAK CL | PCTFE | 4 | 21 | 28-37 | 1.6 | 0.036 | Clear, similar to Aclar |
| CADPAK N | Nylon/PE/foil/PE | 4.2 | 17-20 | 19 | 0.08 | 0.008 | Standard foil barrier material |
| CADPAK N-HD | Nylon/PE/foil/PE | 5.9 | 20 | 20 | 0.08 | 0.008 | Heavy duty |
| CADPAK HD-100 | Biax Nylon/PE/Foil/PE/Heavy Duty Green Coex | 7.3-7.9 | 26 | 25 | 0.08 | 0.008 | Heavy duty, high seal strength |
| CADPAK HD-200 | Biax Nylon/PE/Cross-lam PE/PE/Foil/PE/Heavy Duty Green Coex | 10.3 | 40 | 48 | 0.08 | 0.008 | Heaviest duty, high puncture resistance |
- CADPAK N: (Nylon/PE/foil/PE) general purpose higher puncture than CadPak P
- CADPAK N-HD: (Nylon/PE/foil/PE) heavier duty, higher strength version of Cadpak N
- CADPAK HD100: (Biax nylon/PE/foil/PE/Heavy Duty green Coex) heavier duty, very high seal strength
