CORAPACK BRX 15
- Chemical Family
- PolyethylenesPolyolefins
Corapack BRX 15 is a multilayer, cross-linked shrink film, soft enough to wrap products that easily distort, but tough enough for irregularly shaped items. Low temperature properties also protect heat-sensitive products. Applications include printed and converted paper products, items packed in lightweight trays and boxes and softer products. The high free shrink in BRX allows packaging of irregularly shaped items, and produces the highest quality package esthetics for shelf appeal. Ultrathin display shrinkfilm on the basis of bi-oriented polyethylene (BO-PE) crosslinked soft shrink.
