A sustainable PET solution for hot filling
Perfect for foods that require hot filling up to 90ºC, kp Hotfill® is fully recyclable and made with up to 50% post-consumer recycled PET
|
kp Hotfill® is an ideal drop-in solution for thermoforming lines and offers the best performance for hot fill applications. This game-changing rigid film has been specially formulated for increased heat resistance and is easily thermoformed, while still maintaining a high stacking resistance to stand up to the rigours of the supply chain. With no costs to retrofit your form, fill and seal line, kp Hotfill® offers a seamless integration that saves time and money.
Endorsed by Petcore Europe, kp Hotfill® is designed to be recycled and is made with up to 50% post-consumer recycled PET giving it a lower carbon footprint than other films. This sustainable mono PET material is also up to 23% thinner giving up to 29% longer rolls which can improve line efficiency and reduce your storage requirements.
All this functionality and circularity operate within the stringent guidelines set by EFSA and the FDA to maintain the highest standards of food safety and meet strict food contact standards, keeping food fresh and consumers safe.

Designed to be recyclable
kp Hotfill® is the only PET rigid film fit for hot filling endorsed by the Tray Circularity Evaluation Platform (TCEP) of Petcore Europe, as compatible with currently available PET sorting and recycling technologies used at industrial scale.
Lower carbon footprint versus PS and PVC
Compared to PS and PVC, kp Hotfill® has a lower carbon footprint from cradle to grave where adequate recycling infrastructure is in place*.
Up to 23% thinner material
Better mechanical properties eliminating the need for EVOH and PE liners due to a better gas barrier which allows for up to 23% thinner films versus PS and PVC multilayer films.
Up to 29% longer rolls vs multilayer PS and PVC films
Can be downgauged by up to 23% compared to PS and PVC multilayer films, resulting in 29% longer rolls. Major benefits include increased line efficiency and reduced storage.
Drop-in solution
Works with all standard PS and PVC thermoforming equipment thanks to similar forming and processing conditions, eliminating the need to retrofit existing equipment and also requires a lower cutting force than standard PET.
Maximum food protection and safety
Complies with EFSA and FDA food contact regulations, which ensures
that food is kept fresh and safe.
