The Dow Chemical Company’s Packaging and Specialty Plastics Business Unit won three awards at the 13th Ringier Technology Innovation Award. With revolutionary innovations, Dow received the highest number of votes in an expert jury and online poll and was awarded “Innovation Team of the Year.” The power of gathering scientific and technological knowledge, Dow continues to innovate, and advances the progress of human society with its advanced sustainable solutions; this award is also recognition of Dow's innovative capabilities. In addition, the department The biaxially oriented polyethylene (TF-BOPE) and INTUNETM polypropylene-based olefin block copolymers (OBCs) also received a lot of praise in the 'Plastic Raw Materials and Additives' award.
“We are deeply honored by Dow's innovation capabilities. We will continue to commit ourselves to the research of high-value products and solutions to help our customers improve their competitive advantage. We will make full use of the most advanced science and technology to explore cooperation. Opportunity, creating revolutionary solutions, constantly surpassing ourselves, contributing to the industry and society. By developing better, more environmentally friendly and more sustainable products for our customers, we improve the world and create a better future!” Dow Mr. Li Ming Zhuang, Vice President of Business, Asia Pacific, Packaging and Specialty Plastics Business Unit, said.
Biaxially Extruded Polyethylene (TF-BOPE): Safer, More Environmentally-Friendly, More Sustainable Packaging Solutions Led by Asia
TF-BOPE is another revolutionary product in the INNATETM precision packaging resin family. TF-BOPE film has higher mechanical and material rigidity, better optical and printing properties than traditional polyethylene (PE) film. It is a breakthrough solution developed by Dow Packaging & Specialties Asia Pacific R&D team in cooperation with the North American Materials Science team, based on local and global packaging market demand.
Dow Chemical Company's Packaging and Specialty Plastics Business Unit (P&SP) won three awards at the 13th Ringier Technology Innovation Award. With revolutionary innovations, Dow received the highest number of votes in expert juries and online polls. Awarded the 'Innovation Team of the Year'.
The haze of TF-BOPE film is only one-fifth that of ordinary PE film; it has twice the impact strength of conventional PE film, three times the puncture resistance, three times the pull-up strength and twice the pull. Modulus of increase. The material has excellent flex resistance and can maintain good toughness under low temperature conditions. TF-BOPE film also has good tearability, and it can well meet the tearability design requirements of packaging products. TF -BOPE performance far exceeds traditional PE materials.
The Ringier Technology Innovation Award Organizing Committee recommends that: 'TF-BOPE film can replace other polymers such as biaxially oriented nylon (BOPA) in the toughening layer of packaging, which helps to reduce the amount of packaging materials and enhance the mechanical properties of the packaging. In addition, TF-BOPE film can also be combined with the traditional PE heat seal layer to achieve a more favorable recycling of all PE packaging structure, to bring more environmentally friendly flexible packaging solutions to the Chinese market.
INTUNETM Polypropylene Based Olefin Block Copolymer (OBCs) Compatible Solutions: Subversive Sustainable Solutions
PE has good toughness, high polypropylene (PP) strength, and good heat resistance. However, due to the poor compatibility of these two types of products, it is difficult to combine the advantages of the two in specific applications and it has to be Makes a trade-off. Innovative olefin multi-layer tubes use INTUNETM polypropylene-based OBCs to solve this problem. After using INTUNETM technology, PE and PP can be combined to generate innovative, highly differentiated polymers together. Mixtures, and can be processed into a multilayer structure using existing processing techniques.
This innovative application of PE and PP tubes created the world's first PE and PP copolymer. INTUNETM polypropylene-based OBCs have very high compatibility with PE and PP, and have excellent adhesion properties. Bonded with PP tube. This technology also solves the industry's low temperature brittleness of polypropylene random copolymer (PPR) pipe, which enhances the strength and heat resistance of PE pipe.
The Ringier Technology Innovation Award Organizing Committee stated: 'The PPR pipe has excellent performance and is widely used in civil construction, municipal engineering, water conservancy and agriculture. But its low-temperature brittleness has long been a major pain point in the industry, seriously restricting its Installation and use in cryogenic environments. This innovative solution will make a huge contribution to the industry. '
