Water-soluble Films for Laundry Capsule & Dishwashing ADW Pod

Type GX Water-Soluble Film (PVA/PVOH)

High-Performance Packaging Solution for Laundry & ADW Capsules

Ⅰ. Prodct Specifications

Ⅱ. Mechanical Performance 

Type GX water-soluble film is specialized for both Rotary Drum and Flat-bed Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) packaging machines, including mainstream lines like Cloud and GSP from the US, as well as Eme-Engel from the Netherlands. It helps factories maintain stable production and minimize machine downtime.

1. Formability

Whether for mono or multi-chamber designs, liquid or powder, the film fits perfectly into the shape of the mold, leaving no dead space after vacuuming.

2. Tensile Strength

The film has the right tension to run through high-speed machines without breaking, sticking, or causing cutting failures while wrapping the detergents tightly.

3. Sealing

After wrapping, the film can be sealed tightly by either heat or water, ensuring a secure and reliable seal for each shape of the capsule.

4. Elastic Recovery

The film may become slightly softened during the sealing process, but it quickly recovers its elasticity and keeps the capsules rigid on the shelf.

5. Smooth Feeding

Formulated with a balanced friction coefficient, the film does not stick together during high-speed machine running or capsule pumping, ensuring smooth feeding.

Ⅲ. Key Performance

1. 15-Min Quick Wash Adaptability

Engineered for fast dissolution. It breaks down quickly within 15-minute short washing cycles, leaving no gummy residue on clothes.

2. Cold Water Solubility

Fully dissolves at low temperatures (10°C, 20°C, 25°C). Ideal for markets like the US and Europe that focus on energy-saving cold water laundry.

3. Weathering Resistance

Keeps capsule appearance neat and stable even under compound weathering conditions (such as high temperatures ≥45°C and high humidity 75%), extending the shelf life of your capsules.

Ⅳ. Sustainability & Certifications

100% Biodegradable

Our film is made of 100% PVA/PVOH and has passed strict international biodegradable testing. It degrades completely into water and carbon dioxide after use, leaving zero microplastics. It fully complies with environmental regulations in the US and Europe.

Ⅴ. Free Sample Policy

We understand that on-machine testing is essential before purchasing. We offer Free Sample Rolls tailored to your required width and specs for your factory trials. Contact us today to arrange your sample.

Ⅵ. FAQs 

Q1: Can Type GX film run smoothly on high-speed packaging lines?

• Yes. Type GX is fully compatible with premium FFS machinery brands like Cloud, Solupak, Harro Höfliger, and Mespack. Its stable tensile strength and reliable sealing properties ensure high production yields and low leakage rates.

Q2: How does the film perform during shipping and warehousing in hot and humid regions?

• Type GX is formulated for compound weather and can withstand environments of ≥45°C and 75% RH without premature dissolving.

• However, for mass production, the optimal manufacturing environment for laundry capsules is 23±2°C and 50% RH. After long-distance transport, we highly recommend storing the film rolls in a temperature and humidity-controlled room for an "equilibration period" before running them on machines. This process avoids issues like film brittleness or moisture softening.

Q3: How do you ensure the film will perform well with my specific detergent formulas?

• We provide customized laboratory compatibility tests based on your specific liquid, powder, or solid formulas. After in-depth technical discussions, our team will recommend the most suitable film formulation for your exact case. This tailored process ensures you achieve the best balance of film performance, stable compatibility, and production cost control.
