Enable mPE facilitates faster film processing which increases film line capacity. When replacing LLDPE-rich blends, Enable mPE can increase output by up to 20 percent, which may result in increased revenue and the postponement of future equipment investments.
As a single resin solution, Enable mPE is designed to replace blends. This simplifies sourcing and lowers inventory costs, as the number of resins needed is reduced. It also helps to eliminate costly errors associated with complex blends which reduce film waste.
While often surpassing the mechanical performance requirements of LLDPE-rich structures, Enable mPE can significantly improve the toughness of LDPE-rich structures, making downgauging by more than 20 percent a possibility. Enable mPE opens up new application opportunities on LDPE equipment.
“Enable mPE has been designed to complement Exceed mPE, with both brands offering exceptional downgauging potential, they can reduce film weight, lower inventory and working capital requirements thereby providing efficiency benefits and reduced environmental impact.
Together, they provide a leadership metallocene portfolio to meet the needs of the value chain across a wide range of flexible film applications,” said McConville.
The versatility offered by Enable mPE makes it suitable for a wide range of flexible film applications including: (1) collation shrink for bottled water, beverages, canned goods, hand soaps, detergents, health products and beauty aids; (2) large load unitization – pallets; (3) multi-layer cast stretch handwrap film; (4) agricultural greenhouse film; (5) medium to heavy duty bags; and (6) lamination packaging film.
