Improved Productivity in Packaging Films Akulon PA6 for packaging applications has more flexibility with thermoformability, printability, transparency and heat resistance.
Akulon* XP, introduced DSM Engineering Plastics, is a high productivity grade of PA6 for film packaging applications. Akulon XP offers a broader processing window leading to more flexibility and more uniform thickness distribution in cast film, more melt strength and better parison stability leading to optimized LDPE/LLDPE ratio in multi-layer films without sacrificing the mechanical properties, more shear thinning than with standard PA6 enabling thus higher coating velocities possible and still absolutely gel free. Akulon PA6 is well-established for food packaging applications. Amongst the benefits for producers are thermoformability, printability, transparency and heat resistance. Key user benefits include oxygen barrier, aroma and flavor barrier, mechanical protection, puncture resistance.
Today, more than three quarters of PA6 film is being used for food packaging applications such as meat, cheese, fish, sausage skins and coffee packs. Non-food applications include medical & pharmaceutical films, protective packaging (bubble film), agricultural film and industrial films. The development of Akulon PA6 for packaging applications is in line with DSM’s investment program for PA6: in 2000 DSM opened state-of-the-art PA6 polymerization plants in Emmen (Netherlands) and Augusta (USA). In 2005, the company extended its polymerization unit in Emmen dedicated for film. Recently the company announced the start-up of a new production facility in Jiangyin (China) in 2008. With its backwards integration to Caprolactam across the globe DSM Engineering Plastics is one of the leading PA6 film resin suppliers in Europe today. * Akulon is a registered trademark of Royal DSM.
