Arakawa Chemical
Differentiate your Polymer Films with Hydrocarbon Resins
Barentz is helping customers enhance film product performance using high-quality, fully hydrogenated water-white hydrocarbon resins manufactured by Arakawa. These materials, produced in Japan and Germany, offer multiple benefits in film applications, including:
• Reduced melt viscosity: melt flow modification
• Increased stiffness/Young’s Modulus
• Increased adhesion: printability, labels
• Increased barrier properties (moisture and gasses)
• Increased peeling strength for heat sealing
• Increased transparency
Hydrocarbon resins are commonly used to enhance properties in polyolefin packaging films, especially BOPP.
