With costs on the rise and packaging material
waste being scrutinized, packagers are looking for lighter materials that
perform just as well, if not better, than other resins on the market. Resin
manufacturer
Nova Chemicals has developed Surpass HPs167-AB, a
high-density polyethylene resin, for use in barrier-film structures and with
50% stronger moisture barrier strength.
The resin, which is
for use in packages where moisture-barrier performance or stiffness is
important, can meet either of two crucial customer needs: strength and
sustainability. If a customer needs more strength in a package, film gauge can
be maintained to increase barrier and stiffness. However, if a customer is more
concerned with sustainability, film gauge can be reduced while retaining
performance.
