CORAPACK BX 13
- Chemical Family
- PolyethylenesPolyolefins
Corapack BX 13 is the standard multipurpose film for a broad spectrum of end-users requiring a singlewound film. Its rigidity combined with cohesion strength make BX ideal for multipacking applications that require gloss and clarity. Versatile as a BY film, BX offers higher tensile strength at equivalent thickness. Ultrathin display shrinkfilm on the basis of bi-oriented polyethylene (BO-PE) with stiffness for high speed HFFS.
