Approximately half of the applications of "Soarnol®" involve its use in packaging films for meat, cheese, and other foods. Food packaging films continue to demand improved mechanical properties and higher barrier performance. It is the resolution of these requirements that has been the focus in our "Soarnol®" resin development aimed at film. Below are grades from the "Soarnol®" standard grade product line recommended for film. They are manufactured with unique technologies that provide excellent mechanical and barrier properties along with excellent thermal stability during processing. Excellent thermal stability means producing films of the highest quality, namely films with very low gel content.
Certain "Soarnol®" specialty grades have been developed specifically for more demanding film applications. These include flex-crack resistance grades for bag-in-box use, and retortable "Soarnol®" grades designed to reduce whitening and delamination phenomena for boil & retort applications. Please contact us for more information on other specialty film grades.
We will continue to evolve the "Soarnol®" product line as new challenges in the film packaging market develop.
Sample applications
Fresh meat, processed meat, cheese, fish, ham and sausage, soups, vegetable pastes, coffee beans, pickled vegetables, sweets, external packaging bags for transfusion bags, etc.
