Transforming Packaging With Our Amazing Chemistry
They’re about 5 mm in diameter, yet despite their tiny size, these pellets pack a powerful punch. They’re Lupolen polyethylene resins, among the world’s most popular plastics used to innovate today’s film packaging.
Producing packaging for popular consumer products such as diapers, paper towels and tissues may seem commonplace. But the truth is, sophisticated technical capabilities are required. It must stand up to the rigors of transport from film producer to supermarket shelf, then to your home pantry. And it has to look good in the process, enticing consumers with high shelf appeal.
That’s where LyondellBasell’s new Lupolen 3420J and 3426J come in. They outperform standard products to produce packaging with higher stiffness, stronger puncture and tear resistance and better transparency – the hallmarks of today’s trendy consumer products. Packaging for tissue boxes, paper towels, diapers and other personal care items benefits from Lupolen’s amazing chemistry.
The secret is LyondellBasell’s Lupotech T technology, the world’s leading high pressure tubular process for LDPE. Today’s packaging producers require performance, and Lupolen resins produced using Lupotech T address their needs. They’re free of stabilizers, easy to process, and help producers manufacture packaging that is thin, yet strong, enabling material and energy savings.
During your next shopping trip, remember that the packaging on the shelf is not just packaging, it’s really amazing chemistry!
