Enable™ mPE 35-05CH resin for demanding flexible film applications
Expanding the Enable™ metallocene polyethylene portfolio , Enable mPE 35-05CH resin is a powerful new tool for converters and brand owners seeking more cost-effective, sustainable films for flexible packaging.
The new grade combines a density of 0.935 g/cm3 with excellent stiffness and toughness to introduce downgauging possibilities in high-clarity packaging films. In a coextruded film structure, Enable mPE 35-05CH resin can provide opportunities to downgauge film by up to 25 percent while maintaining or improving film performance.
Packaging films made with Enable 35-05CH resin also offer:
- Processing and shrink properties approaching LDPE resins with higher alpha olefin (HAO) performance
- Good impact and tear resistance
- Outstanding optical properties due to low internal haze
- Robust and straightforward processing on both LLDPE and LDPE film line equipment
These qualities help make Enable 35-05CH resin an ideal core layer resin for applications including:
- Collation shrink packaging film
- Overwrap packaging film
- Flexible packaging films such as laminates and stand-up pouches
- Medium-heavy duty bag film
Outstanding processability is derived from a melt temperature that promotes excellent bubble stability with low energy consumption, and excellent shear thinning behavior. Expect higher extrusion rates versus a fractional melt index LLDPE.
