Enable™ mPE resin for stretch hand wrap packaging film

Enable™ metallocene polyethylene (mPE) resin meets the needs of the cast stretch hand wrap films market with improved performance and the ability to reduce film gauge.

A single, unique resin delivering easier processing and higher alpha olefin (HAO) performance benefits, Enable mPE offers converters:

  • Reduced film thickness of up to 20% for raw material savings, reduced film inventory, lower transportation costs and more-sustainable flexible film solutions
  • Higher toughness to eliminate multiple wraps, resulting in more secure loads during transit and the opportunity to wrap more-demanding loads
  • Improved stiffness/stretch resistance to prevent re-stretch on the pallet, securing heavy loads and assuring a high film wrap force. This leads to more efficient packaging operations, lower risk of damage during transit, optimal wrapping with more certainty and reduced operator fatigue
  • Improved optical properties in five-layer films, leading to enhanced packaging appearance and clearer bar codes

To improve cling performance in hand, machine and power pre-stretch wrap film, consider Vistamaxx™ propylene-based elastomers.

Enable mPE resin also delivers a variety of benefits in both three-layer and five-layer formulations compared with conventional films, including:

  • Improved stiffness
  • Improved tear performance
  • Lower haze
  • Enhanced puncture resistance

Whatever the starting point, Enable mPE resin is a value-added solution for customers.
