“KURARISTER^TM”, which is henceforth called “Hybrid film”, is a new transparent high-barrier film for advanced retort applications, and which is a biaxial oriented polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film or a biaxial oriented polyamide (PA) film with a hybrid composite coating on both sides. The hybrid film shows excellent gas barrier properties before and after sterilization that don’t depend on humidity, sterilization conditions, or the structure of the laminated film. As the hybrid composite coating layer has excellent scratch resistance and flex resistance, the gas barrier properties are stable during converting, transportation storage, flexing and tension etc.
