✦ Synopsis

TPE rivals PVC's performance in cling film

Kraton Polymers International Ltd is featuring its PP multi-layer stretch wrap (cling) film material. The new material is a blend of PP and its Kraton G styrene-ethylene/butylenestyrene (SEBS) thermoplastic elastomer. SEBS offers lower cost price and enhanced properties than PVC film materials. The new film materials can be custom-made to achieve better transparency, better puncture resistance and higher cling characteristics. lo%-30% content of Kraton G grade 1657 is added to the middle layer of the film to enhance the film's elasticity and strength. The Kraton grade also prevents finger marks on the film when handled repeatedly.
