LINPAC Plastics, a European manufacturer based in the United Kingdom, chose NORYL PKN resin for their revolutionary new LINcool single-use trays designed for microwave cooking. Food trays made with NORYL PKN resin are rigid enough to handle ready-meal dishes without flexing and allows the consumer to directly take the meal from the freezer to the microwave. The heat resistance of this resin allows LINPAC to keep the outside of the package cool, thereby reducing burn potential, while keeping the food hot, allowing the consumer to fully enjoy the warm meal.

"Based on its exceptional property performance balance, NORYL PKN resin can be a great fit for many freezer-to-microwave packaging applications, " said Rob de Jong, industry manager for GE Advanced Materials Plastics performance packaging segment in Europe.

Due to their outstanding processing characteristics, NORYL PKN resins offer a lower cost alternative for PP and polyethylene terephthalate (CPET) materials.

The NORYL PKN resin portfolio presently includes six commercial grades, both transparent and opaque, covering a wide heat resistance range. NORYL PKN resins can be applied in monolayer, multi-layer and foamed applications. Besides the single-use/microwave category, NORYL PKN resin is also durable enough for use in cookware/houseware and tableware applications. NORYL resins can also have a fit in non-food packaging applications where stiffness at elevated temperatures is required.
