Step-out performance for highly demanding applications
Film converters looking to produce flexible films with improved mechanical strength, enhanced sealing performance and opportunities for film-line output improvements are using Exceed™ Enable™
and metallocene
polyethylene (mPE) resin blends, available to the UK through Plastribution.
Exceed™ and Enable™ metallocene
polyethylene (mPE) resin blends deliver significant improvements in performance compared with LDPE resin-based blends, creating opportunities for downgauging of flexible films.
Associated benefits include a significant improvement in impact strength and tear resistance, higher hot-tack peak and broader hot-tack window, greater processability, improved tensile strength and enhanced package integrity and less leakers.
This makes Exceed™ and Enable™
metallocene polyethylene (mPE) resin blends ideal for film applications such as consumer packaging, heavy duty bags and sacks, compression packaging and refuse bags.
On its own, Exceed™ mPE resin
offers the opportunity for unrivalled film performance for highly demanding end-use applications.
Outstanding film properties include a superior balance of film toughness and strength, outstanding film impact resistance, dazzling film optical properties and exceptional film sealing performance.
Meanwhile, Enable™ mPE redefines
performance because it offers an unprecedented combination of film processing and higher alpha olefin (HAO) performance benefits in a single, unique resin. Its benefits include operational stability, extended film line output, versatility with HAO performance and sourcing reduction.
When used in combination, Exceed™
and Enable™ mPE resin
blends create opportunities for significant downgauging through overall improvement in mechanical properties. For instance, Exceed™ and Enable™
mPE resin blends
provide the following benefits compared with Exceed™
mPE2018 resin-rich blends with LDPE resins:
Significant improvement in tear resistance and impact strength Excellent sealing capability Outstanding extrusion performance
Ideal for skin layers in coextruded films
