 Resins for Packaging Materials
Nexcycle recycles post industrial plastic scrap for making packaging
materials. We recover post industrial or pre consumer materials for a
variety of plastic packaging materials produced by blown film and cast film
molding processes, i.e., packaging products from furniture covers to bubble
wrap. Our packaging resins include high density polyethylene: NPI – 04HDPE Mixed Color, linear and low density
polyethylene: NPI – 01LL/LD Mixed Color and
polypropylene: d NPI – 10PP212 Mixed Color. If
you are looking for a reliable alternative to virgin resin, we carry a well
stocked supply of recycled plastic resins and are well located to offer you
the lowest cost performance solutions available.
Plastic Packaging Materials
When you buy a product or receive a package, whether from a relative or
shipping company, it is often enclosed in some sort of packaging material.
When any fragile or important object is purchased from a store or sent
somewhere, some sort of packaging materials must be used to protect it. There
are many options to consider. A wide range of materials can be used for
packaging, although specialized products call for more specialized packaging
material. The best material for packaging is usually lightweight, sturdy,
inexpensive and can be used over and over again.
Choosing the Right Packaging Resin
Selecting the right resin for making packaging, involves knowing what the
most important properties of the resin, how these properties are suited for a
molding process and the type of packaging. The most important property of our
resins concerns how well they are suited for molding. The melt index
describes the flow behavior that can be expected during processing. If you're
looking for resin to use in blow molding, film extrusion, pipe and profile
extrusion processes, the higher the melt index, the greater the melt strength
will be. If you're looking for resins for your injection molding process, a
higher melt index will mean a faster melt flow which helps to fill the mold
cavities in shorter period of time. Other important considerations include
the permeability of a resin and its resistance to chemicals both of which are
important for food packaging. Our polyethylenes and polypropylene are both
rated highly for resistance to chemicals and high permeability to air and
gases.
Applications for our Packaging Materials
Our resins are used for a wide range of packaging products. The range of
use for plastic film in packaging is so wide that it is more convenient to
break it down by plastic material. Our low density polyethylene can be used
for:
1. Poly Covers
2. Plastic Wrapping
3. Building and Construction Sheet Packaging
4. Textile or Clothing Packaging
5. Food Packaging
Our high and low density polyethylene products can be used for making
plastic film, sheeting and/or bags. With a superior softening point than LDPE
(which is above the boiling point) high density polyethylene is ideal for
boil-in-the-bag foods, i.e., fish fillets. Our polypropylene is very popular
for making textile packaging. Its superior clarity, barrier properties and
higher impact strength at lower temperatures makes it very popular for making
plastic wrapping.
