SABIC helps boost process performance and cost efficiency for customers in packaging industry
Today, there is an increasing pressure from consumers, retailers, brand owners, regulators, governments, and non-government organisations for packaging, particularly in helping to reduce waste in the global food supply and in protecting goods for consumers while complying with ever more stringent regulations for food and consumer safety Brand owners look for new packaging solutions that speak to consumer expectations with distinctive designs, transparency, hygiene, and easy opening. Packaging manufacturers today are not only faced to answer these challenges but also to help reduce weight and cost by lowering cycle times, down gauging and minimising waste. SABIC is introducing a series of globally available advanced polypropylene copolymer solutions that can help meet the unique needs of its customers in the packaging industry:
“At SABIC we value our dialogue with our customers on their needs, to respond proactively to their ever evolving challenges that they face in their industries, for example in food packaging. We’re proud to have the expertise and the broad product portfolio to offer possible solutions to our customers,” said Lada Kurelec, Global Business Director Polypropylene at SABIC. “Our services, material and technology solutions for both flexible and rigid packaging industries provide stronger, cleaner and more sustainable packaging options than before,” added Kurelec. ONE STOP SOLUTION FOR CRYSTAL-CLEAR PERFORMANCE IN RIGID PACKAGING SABIC’s PP, PE, POE, POP polymer blends offer packaging manufacturers solutions to optimise protection of goods, and help to reduce the environmental impact of packaging by enabling down gauging that can reduce thicknesses of their product while keeping its strength. The unique combination of SABIC polyolefin building blocks continuously enable improvements in efficiency during production. Thinner products should reduce plastic consumption and allow for higher processing speeds. SABIC PP 620P resin is a general-purpose random PP grade primarily for extrusion applications. Due to its basic robust design for easy extrusion, and well-balanced mechanical properties, SABIC believes it is highly useful in a wide range of extrusion blow moulding, thin sheet extrusion and other extrusion applications. SIMPLICITY AND COST EFFICIENCY FOR MEETING THE REGULATIONS SABIC PP 621P resin offers excellent sealing performance and high puncture resistance. The molecular structure of this product is tailored for high performance processing and does not contain anti-block and slip agent. As SABIC’s patent pending technology, SABIC PP 621P resin may be combined together with LLDPE resin for power stretch film where high holding force is required in order to assure good pallet stability for applications such as sparkling beverage, building and construction materials and for unitised heavy goods. For high-speed Form-Fill-Seal (FFS) packaging in food and non-food industry that requires low friction coefficient, SABIC’s new product, SABIC PP 622L resin containing anti-block and slip agent offers high clarity, excellent sealing performance and high puncture resistance. All mentioned products are available for the packaging industry customers globally. |
