Packaging

Yparex® plays an important role in a wide variety of packaging applications – ranging from food-contact bottles to multilayer pouches to industrial applications like agricultural films.

Today’s packaging applications demand a great deal from their materials of construction:

• Barrier to flavour, oxygen and water
• Mechanical strength
• Transparency and gloss
• Sealability
• Printability
• Thermoformability
• High-temperature resistance
• Food-contact approval
• Flexibility or rigidity

These always demanding and often conflicting properties cannot be provided by a single material, hence multilayer structures are widely used. The broad array of polymers used in multilayer films are often incompatible and therefore a “tie-layer” is needed to provide packaging films that have all the desired properties. Yparex adhesive resins provide the solution!

Application areas
Typical application areas for Yparex® in multilayer packaging concepts are:

• Flexible packaging (meat, sausage, cheese, fish)
• Liquid packaging (juice, milk)
• Medical packaging (intravenous bags, needle packaging)
• Containers and bottles (intermediate-bulk containers (IBC) and sauces)
• Agricultural film (fumigation)
• Protective film (bubble wrap)
• Tubes (for cosmetics and sauces)

Benefits
The benefits of Yparex adhesive resin in your packaging application:

• Excellent adhesion towards various polyolefins and barrier materials
• Cost attractive dilution opportunities
• Excellent optical and mechanical properties
• Easy processing
• Food compliance
