Advantages of Polyolefin Films
Polyolefin shrink films have been developed to offer the best attributes of PVC film
- ease of sealing and shrinking - without its demerits - the issues noted above
with regard to use and storage. Polyolefin shrink films
also produce fumes on sealing and it is also appropriate to use ventilation. The
shrink window of polyolefin is not quite as flat as with PVC and hence, packaging
equipment generally needs to be of quite a good standard to provide a good
shrink wrap result.
Nevertheless, polyolefin shrink film will offer stronger seals than PVC and
good quality shrink down. There are no real issues with pre or post production storage.
Overall, polyolefin shrink film represents a better mix of the best attributes and
as a consequence its share of the shrink wrap market has grown.
Polyolefin shrink films are invariably offered as multi-layer complexes. These layers
comprise polyethylene and polypropylene in various forms. At the premium end of
the shrink film market, irradiation is used and gives the material particularly
strong seal and puncture and tear resistance characteristics.
Polyolefin Shrink Films are also formulated to offer low shrink
force whilst they have also been extended into food use where both anti fog and
barrier grades are available. Further enhancements include printing as well as pre-perforation
which offers valuable benefits in production.

An exceptionally strong cross-linked Polyolefin shrink wrap
film, possessing excellent puncture resistance, and superb optical qualities. Its
sealing properties, and broad shrink range lend it a versatility that renders it
compatible with most side sealing systems, and shrink
tunnels, even to those where conditions are less than optimum.
A significant addition to the HP polyolefin shrink wrap film range has been the
introduction of VHP, which is available as a thinner version of the standard gauge
film, and has been developed to provide a high strength, high yield, low cost alternative
to conventional Polyolefin shrink films.

A multilayer polyolefin shrink wrap film with excellent optical characteristics,
superior shrink appearance, and very good machinability and sealing properties on
all
shrink wrapping machines especially high speed fully automatic shrink packaging
systems.
Its highly developed formulation has been designed to shrink at medium temperatures,
with relatively low shrink force and high available shrinkage, whilst giving an
appearance of close adhesion to the pack profile.
As with VHP, the Polyolefin shrink wrap film is available
in lower than standard gauges in order to provide a greater yield and cost advantage
than conventional Polyolefin shrink films.

LE and SE are low energy, multilayer cross linked Polyolefin films, for use on particularly
flexible packs. They offer a unique combination of performance characteristics,
these being great strength and elasticity, superb optics, high available shrinkage
and excellent low temperature performance over a wide operating range. A non-printable
hot slip shrink film version is also available.

A cross linked, monolayer polyethylene shrink wrap film that features excellent
tear and puncture resistance, and memory. It was designed for use over a broad range
of equipment, including shrink tunnels with limited air flow. It is an ideal shrink
wrap film for high profile, or irregular shaped packages.

A printable, high-clarity shrink wrap film designed not to fog up or promote condensation
under ambient temperature conditions. An ideal shrink wrap film that can be used
as an overwrap for fresh food and meat products. A polyethylene-based shrink film,
Clysar AFG has excellent recovery and memory properties that help maintain good-looking
packages through distribution and consumer handling.

A strong biaxially oriented, copolymer polypropylene shrink wrap film which is ideally
suited for high speed shrink wrapping machinery due to its superb flatness and stiffness.
It possesses excellent clarity, and strong graphics capabilities and easily outperforms
competitive multilayer and polyethylene films in static seal applications.

LL Gold is a tough, durable Polyolefin shrink wrap film that combines puncture resistance
with strong optical and graphics capabilities for packages that look as good as
they perform.
A monolayer, biaxially oriented, linear low-density polyethylene shrink film, LL
Gold achieves its best shrink performance at low tunnel temperatures. In addition,
it seals well with a very short dwell time. A non-printable hot slip version also
is available, LLPS Gold.

BB2 and BB5 have been developed as strong, durable Polyolefin films with great optics
that combine high performance characteristics at the best possible costs.
BB2 is a monolayer, biaxially oriented, linear low-density polyethylene shrink wrap
film, that can perform at low tunnel temperatures, with short dwell sealing time
and has excellent puncture resistance.
BB5 is a multilayer Polyolefin film with excellent optical characteristics, superior
shrink appearance, and very good machinability and sealing properties on all shrink
wrap machines, including high speed fully automatic shrink wrapping machines.
As with other Clysar shrink wrap films, these are available in
lower than standard gauges in order to provide a greater yield and cost advantage
than conventional Polyolefin films.
