Sustainability Utilizing Mono-Material Polyolefin Solutions

As the plastic world is moving toward a more sustainable & circular direction, Mono-Material packaging is gaining traction due to its ease of being recycled in comparison with traditional multi-material/ laminated structures.

As a material supplier, Mitsui Plastics is well positioned to offer the below essential and high-performance materials as a one-pack solution to address these growing needs within the packaging industry:

EVOH: Serving key barrier functionality to the film (well within 5% “other material” threshold).

  • Superior Barrier Properties: Provides excellent protection against gases and volatile products, ensuring product integrity.
  • Chemical and Oil Resistance: Features outstanding resistance to chemicals and oils, enhancing durability and performance.
  • Versatile Applications: Available in various grades of EVOH (29-44% ethylene), suitable for high-oxygen barrier films, flexible and rigid packaging, and packaging materials for food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Polyolefin Elastomer (POE): Sealing modification (lowering HSIT) which is crucial to mono-material packaging.

  • Enhanced Impact and Softness: Improves impact resistance and softness of polyolefin systems, making products more durable and comfortable.
  • Versatility in Flexible Products: Due to its lower density, modulus, and melting point, POE is ideal for flexible applications such as films, providing greater flexibility and adaptability.
  • Improved Heat Seal and Easy-Peel Properties: Modifies heat seal initiation temperatures (HSIT) and promote easy-peel properties, enhancing the functionality and user-friendliness of packaging materials.

EverGlideTM PFAS-Free Polymer Processing Aid: Effective replacement of PFAS PPA with full global food compliance.

  • Enhanced Efficiency: Reduced die pressures and extruder energy draw lead to more efficient processing.
  • Improved Flow: Lower apparent viscosity helps in balancing internal and external process aid properties.
  • Global Food Compliance: Suitable for food contact applications, ensuring safety and regulatory compliance worldwide.

Mitsui Plastics

Tie-Layer Resin: Creates strong and durable bonds with a wide range of materials.

  • Unmatched Adhesion: Creates strong and durable bonds with a wide range of materials, ensuring reliability.
  • High-Temperature Resistance: Maintains strength and integrity in extreme temperatures and tough process conditions.
  • Versatility in Packaging: Suitable for various packaging formats, including flexible and rigid packaging, meeting diverse industry demands.

Silton JC: Unparalleled performance and unmatched properties, making it the ultimate choice for optimizing your Polyolefin Resin Systems.

  • High Masterbatch Loading: Capable of up to 50% loading, allowing for efficient and effective use in various applications.
  • Excellent Optical Performance: Provides superior optical clarity, especially in polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) films.
  • Versatility and Compliance: Suitable for a wide range of applications and globally compliant for food contact, ensuring safety and adaptability.

Stabiace Hydrotalcite: Designed for acid scavenging during polyolefin polymerization process

  • Superior Heat Stabilization: Provides excellent heat stabilization properties, ensuring reliable performance under high temperatures.
  • High Anion-Exchange Capacity: Features a high capacity for anion exchange, making it effective in various chemical processes.
  • Thermal Stability: Offers robust thermal stability, suitable for a wide range of applications.
