Blow molded bottles

"Soarnol®" is used in many products that are indispensable parts of our daily life. For over 30 years, "Soarnol®" has been used as a barrier layer basically in middle of coextruded bottles. Prior to "Soarnol®", foods such as ketchup and mayonnaise could not be packaged in plastic bottles due to their sensitivity to oxygen. Therefore, only glass bottles and jars could be used. Due to the excellent oxygen barrier properties of "Soarnol®" the transition of such products from glass to plastic has been made possible. In addition, the dependable processability of "Soarnol®" makes it suitable for bottle manufacture.

Sample applications

Mayonnaise, ketchup, cooking oil, sauces, baby foods, cosmetic bottles, agrochemical bottles, etc.

Other features

As an exterior layer: high surface luster, good scratch resistance, oil resistance, antistatic properties, printability. Good pinch-off properties due to high melt tension.

Data on Ment Tension

"Soarnol®" shows stable melt tension compliance with high line speed. This means that "Soarnol®" has wide processing windows and prevents layer breakage during processing.
