Our portfolio includes extrudable adhesive resins that provide strong adhesion between incompatible film layers. It also inclusdes peel compounds for easy opening plastic film seals in packaging. In addition, we tailor these resins and peel compounds for a wide range of production processes. These include blow moulding, blown film extrusion, cast film extrusion and extrusion coating.
Extrudable adhesive resins and tie-layers for multi-layer food packaging
Yparex adhesive resins provide the solution in multi-layer concepts where polymers are used which are incompatible. As a result, the create excellent adhesion between various polyolefins (polyethylene PE, polypropylene PP) and barrier materials like EVOH and polyamide (PA). When incompatible materials are used in film packaging tie-layers are needed to obtain the right properties. This is exactly what our Yparex tie-layer resins provide. Furthermore, our Yparex packaging grades comply with the applicable food contact regulation in many regions around the world (EU, FDA, China GB, Mercosur, etc.).
Biobased tie-layers for multi-layer food packaging
Yparex RENEW is the first biobased tie-layer resin for multi-layer packaging, derived from bio-based polyethylene and fully recyclable.In addition to it’s sustainability benefits, Yparex RENEW delivers excellent performance. At the same time, Yparex RENEW delivers outstanding adhesion between polyethylene and various barrier materials. It also offers the excellent optical and mechanical properties for which Yparex is known.
Peel compounds for multi-layer food packaging
Manufactures use our EcoForte PF peel compounds in the sealing layer of co-extruded multi-layer packaging. Our peel compounds adjust the sealing and peeling behavior for a convenient to open seal. Easy to process over a wide temperature range, they provide the ideal amount of peel resistance. We offer EcoForte peel compounds in PE and PP based grades and are applied as retortable seal-peel layers with substrates PE, PP, tinplate and aluminium. The peel compounds comply with the applicable food contact regulation.
Applications in multi-layer concepts
Yparex and EcoForte perform in multi-layer concepts, such as:
- Flexible packaging (meat, sausage, cheese, fish)
- Lidding film (pet food, dairy packaging)
- Liquid packaging (juice, milk)
- Medical packaging (intravenous bags, needle packaging)
- Containers and bottles (intermediate bulk container, sauces)
- Agricultural film (fumigation)
- Protective film (bubble wrap)
