Offering tear resistance in the transverse direction (TD or cross-machine) and high tensile-strength in the machine direction (MD), RS03 can be used as an alternative to the traditional polyester and fibreglass-filament-based tapes.

Toray Plastics (America) account representative Chris Fisher said: “RS03 RipStop film offers manufacturers a new, reliable, environment-friendly, value-added solution for reinforcement applications.

“In addition, manufacturers accustomed to using traditional materials need no special equipment to convert RS03 into tape.

Suitable for beverage cases, corrugated bulk bins, and moving and storage boxes, the tape requires fewer raw materials than fibreglass and polyester filament materials during the production phase.

RS03 also reduces the weight of boxes and can be customised according to customers’ tensile-strength requirements.

Last month, Toray Plastics (America) launched new biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) films under its Over-The-Mountain (OTM) portfolio.

Manufactured using a polypropylene core layer and a proprietary sealant, the new Torayfan films are designed to prevent packages from bursting in high-altitude and low-atmospheric-pressure conditions.
