Reducing transport losses
Sabic’s multilayer and polymer blend technologies may help manufacturers to reduce transport losses, optimise protection of goods, and maximise pallet stability by increasing the holding force of collation shrink and stretch films used to protect food packaging, while also making those films stronger.
The unique combination of Sabic polyolefin building blocks also continuously may enable improvements in efficiency during production. They may offer higher tensile strength and higher toughness to optimise the wrapping process, by reducing film breakage and improving stretch film consistency of quality.
Sabic technology may also reduce the environmental impact of packaging by enabling down gauging that can reduce thicknesses by up to 20% compared to current film concepts. Thinner products reduce plastic consumption and allow for higher processing speeds.
