Product Description
MonoSol M8900 is a PVOH based thermoplastic film, soluble in cold water and manufactured using MonoSol's proprietary solution cast technology.

MonoSol M8900 film has been engineered specifically to be resistant to both alkaline and acidic hydrolysis. Coupled with its exceptional cold water solubility, M8900 is an excellent candidiate for detergent and disinfectant unit dose packaging. M8900 offers superior resistance to boron-containingcompounds and can be easily converted on all conventionalpackaging machines. Standard thicknesses are 38 micron (1.5 mil), 51 micron (2.0 mil) and 76 micron (3.0 mil).
