Water Soluble Film for
PROTECTIVE Packaging

  • INFHIDRO offers a wide range of water soluble films for protective and secondary packaging under the brand name HIDROPACK®, developed to meet the specific requirements of manufactured goods and industrial product protection. 

  • HIDROPACK® PVA film withstand contact with cold water and dissolve completely in hot water above 60°C (140°F). In addition to controlled solubility, it offers excellent oxygen barrier and anti-static properties. 

  • HIDROPACK® film is suitable for packaging products such as soap bars, textiles, printed manuals, electronic components, spare parts, assembled kits among others. 

  • HIDROPACK® is non-toxic, biodegradable and recyclable with materials of similar characteristics. Hidropack® does not degrade during storage under proper dry conditions, ensuring stability throughout the supply chain.

  • HIDROPACK® PVOH film can be produced in transparent or colored versions and is available in a range of widths and thicknesses to suit automated wrapping and industrial packaging processes.

Technical Specifications of HIDROPACK® Water Soluble Protective Packaging Film

Series Model Application / Main Use Format Thickness Temperature Dissolution Time
Standard PBI Protective packaging Roll 25 - 60 μm Hot Water (≥ 60°C - 70°C) 120s (at 70°C - Dispersion 12s)
Standard PBI ULTRA HOT Protective packaging Roll 60 μm Very Hot Water (≥ 75°C) 300s (at 75°C - Resists cold water at 25°C ≥15 min)

HIDROPACK® offers the same mechanical and sealing properties as conventional plastics (PE/PP), with the key advantage of being 100% water-soluble, biodegradable once dissolved in water, and microplastic-free. Unlike bioplastics such as PLA (which tend to degrade prematurely with ambient humidity), HIDROPACK® does not degrade once packaged or during storage in dry conditions, ensuring total stability and shelf life throughout the supply chain. In addition, it acts as a superior oxygen barrier and features natural antistatic properties.

The film is designed to resist contact with cold water without dissolving immediately. The PBI ULTRA HOT version, for example, withstands contact with water at 25°C for at least 15 minutes without dispersing, ensuring the integrity of the packaging and the contained products during storage and logistics in humid environments.

Yes, it is formulated based on high-purity polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH). Analytical laboratory tests (GC/MS and FT-IR) confirm that it is free of polyolefins such as PE or PP, ensuring its complete solubility in water and its biodegradability in aquatic environments without leaving toxic residues.
