As the breadth and complexity of film processing technologies continue to grow, so does our expertise in meeting the exact needs of this diverse industry.
DSM Engineering Plastics offers a range of high-performance materials for food, medical & pharmaceutical packaging as well as agricultural and industrial films.
Our materials are tailored for several film processing techniques including:
- Biaxially Oriented PA (BOPA) barrier film
- Cast film
- Blown film
- Extrusion coating
Our range of performance materials in this area includes:
Akulon® XP: A revolutionary Polyamide 6 that provides major productivity benefits to manufacturers of film for food packaging applications. For more information, please click here.
Akulon® PA6 High consistency for optimum process performance:
Akulon Polyamide 6 offers the right balance of oxygen barrier, excellent processability and mechanical properties, protecting both fresh and processed foods from spoilage, aging and discoloration. Akulon PA6 polymer delivers highest possible consistency with respect to viscosity, low gel count and moisture content.
Arnitel® VT (TPC) for breathable, monolithic film. This tough copolyester
offers superior water vapour permeability - eliminating the need for
perforations or micro pores. The material has outstanding mechanical
properties and offers ease of processing for a range of applications
including building and construction membranes, consumer goods like
outdoor wear as well as medical gowns.
Yparex® for multilayer barrier film: This polyolefin-based adhesive resin acts as a high-performance tie layer in multilayer barrier films. The material provides excellent adhesion and processing characteristics in multilayer extrusions of different film materials (both PA6 and EVOH) while supporting the excellent optical properties of whole film concept.
