  • Dow launches INNATE TF Polyethylene Resin for sustainable packaging Applications

Dow launched an innovative and revolutionary Resin for sustainable packaging in extension to the family of Innate Precision Packaging Resins. INNATE TF Polyethylene Resins for Tenter Frame Biaxial Orientation offers additional distinctive physical and mechanical properties and brings commercial viability to the packaging goal of tenter frame biaxially oriented polyethylene (TF-BOPE) films.

In comparison to the traditional polyethylene (PE) films, the TF-BOPE films made with INNATE TF Polyethylene Resins for Tenter Frame Biaxial Orientation possess higher mechanical properties and material rigidity, better optical and printing performance, and offer sustainability, consumer convenience, and recyclability.

The TF-BOPE film can be used directly as the printed layer of the packaging, allowing a combination of PE functional layers to achieve an all-PE structure, making it more convenient for recycling and increasing the sustainability quotient. The properties of the film also enable material substitution, film layer elimination, and/or down-gauging, to reduce overall packaging materials.
