Holliston, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/28/2016 --Holliston, MA-based distributor and converter of high-performance films, American Durafilm® is pleased to introduce Duralok™—the first and only resealable FEP or Kapton® film bag available. This technology solves a long-standing issue for handling sample bag materials. Its unique ability allows any bag made from FEP or Kapton® film to be transformed into an easy-to-use and resealable container for storage and processing applications, including for cryogenic and high-temperature needs. With the Duralok™ closure technology, American Durafilm® solved the 50-year-old problem of instantly preserving caustic or critical samples inside FEP or Kapton® film bags without the need to purchase or operate heat-sealing or clamping equipment. Duralok™ bags can be manufactured and packaged along with any other heat-sealing techniques inside its state-of-the-art Class 10,000 clean room to ensure the quality and cleanliness of FEP or Kapton® films. Standard sizes for Duralok™ range from either 5 mil (.005") FEP or Kapton® 500FN131 (.005"), with custom size options available.

We're proud to be a pioneer in the industry and exclusively bring Duralok™ bags to the market. This resealable solution will not only increase yield and throughput for our customers but significantly reduce time, money, and resources across the board.
