Braskem has launched its new stretch film solution at K Fair. The launches of Braskem Flexus 3600 and PP RF70 are the result of the company’s efforts to develop new solutions in multi-layer stretch films, said Packagingeurope.
With what the company describes as superior processability and high yields during application, the solutions have advantages in terms of sustainability, since it reduces the amount of raw material needed for their production. In addition to productivity gains, the stretch film also reduces waste during transport, offering benefits in all links of the company’s value chain.
“The combination of different products distributed in layers results in higher puncture strength, lower propagation of tear and increased capacity to compact unitized cargo,” said Americo Bartilotti, head of Braskem’s Packaging & Consumer Goods Business. “We are improving safety during the transport, storage and distribution of cargo, while reducing product waste due to faults in the palletization process, and using less stretch film. This result in an excellent cost-benefit tradeoff,” he said.Partnership with SML.
