Product Highlights

Nylon Extrusion Grade polyamide copolymer is designed specifically to improve processability during film manufacturing/converting, and end-use performance during distribution. This is  proven to increase extruder throughput and reduce haze when incorporated into multilayer co-extruded cast or blown film structures. This product is ideal for use in shrink film for bone-in meat and other protein applications where thermoformability, high shrink, ovenability and puncture resistance are critical to deliver the desired shelf life and improve consumer satisfaction. This product is also ideal choices for retorted stand-up pouches (SUP) where thermal stability, flex-crack resistance and clarity are required to deliver on-the-shelf appeal.
