B-Nat® F15
- Chemical Family
- PolyethylenesPolyolefins
B-Nat® F15 is an ultrathin packaging shrink film developed on a basis of green polyethylene. It consists for more than 20% of a polyethylene produced from sugarcane ethanol. Besides coming from a renewable natural source, this green PE provides the same performances as a fossil polyethylene, can be recycled and contributes to minimizing the carbon footprint. Ultrathin display shrinkfilm on the basis of a green polyethylene high toughness crosslinked.
