[China Packaging Network News] The plastics and food packaging industry has experienced significant growth in recent years, offering improved solutions to meet the evolving global demand for food packaging. Companies are now focusing on reducing both food and packaging material consumption while maintaining high standards of food safety. Two innovative materials introduced by DSM in the Netherlands—Akulon PA6 and Arnitel thermoplastic polyester—are playing a key role in advancing the flexible food packaging sector.
Last year, DSM announced plans to build a new facility in North America dedicated to producing high-viscosity Akulon film. The company also showcased a range of food packaging materials, including Akulon and AkulonXS, at the 2014 International Packaging Exhibition in Chicago (PackExpo 2014). Additionally, DSM will present its latest packaging solutions using AkulonXS at two upcoming seminars.
Akulon-based films used in food packaging help reduce food waste by improving performance and efficiency. AkulonXS crystallizes six times slower than traditional PA6, which helps match the crystallization speed of other layers in multi-layer barrier films, solving the common issue of over-crystallization. This unique property not only delays crystallization but also prevents wrinkling in blown films, resulting in better tensile strength. Moreover, it enhances foam stability during production and reduces energy consumption, boosting overall productivity and offering more design flexibility for food packaging.
Haroldd Goertz, Global Technical Product Manager at DSM Engineering Plastics, will be presenting at a multi-layer packaging film conference in Chicago on June 2 and a TAPPI flexible packaging seminar in Miami, USA, on June 10. He will discuss how Akulon XS, with its exceptional barrier and mechanical properties, provides a more cost-effective alternative to traditional PA6 in the flexible food packaging industry. His presentations aim to highlight the benefits of this advanced material and its potential to reshape future packaging solutions.
