By GlobalDataThe packaging resins are lightweight and can be used for flexible food packaging, as well as for heavy-duty industrial shipping sacks.
These also offer twice the abuse-resistance in coextruded films when compared with standard polyethylene resins and ease of processing due to its excellent bubble stability.
Dow packaging and speciality plastics global R&D director David Parrillo said: "The chemistry behind Innate resins allows customers to control properties like never before to create a new standard of performance through a combination of film stiffness, toughness and processability, all from one packaging resin."
