What does precision packaging look like?
Strength. Stiffness. Toughness. Durability. Processability. Blendability. Sustainability. All are essential to many of today’s packaging applications. What if you could achieve all of them in a single resin? And what if you could “dial in” the exact properties per application? Our scientists came up with a way. Then we gave them a name: INNATE™ Precision Packaging Resins .

Accurate and consistent resin
A breakthrough patented molecular catalyst and advanced process technology makes it happen. Accurate and consistent control of the resin chemistry allows performance levels and combinations of film properties like never before. And every INNATE™ resin offers that ability to precisely “dial in” your desired properties.

Be confident in your packaging
INNATE™ resins confidently address many needs of the packaging value chain. They can help deliver lighter, stronger, more durable packaging films for numerous applications even beyond packaging:

Dry food packaging
Heavy-duty shipping sacks
Industrial packaging
Liquid packaging
Non-food consumer packaging
Pallet containment
Silage wrap
Specialty packaging

Beyond packaging, INNATE™ can be used in artificial turf and construction films

Dependable resins
For consumer packaging, INNATE™ resins offer dependable performance where it’s most important. Durability and abuse resistance, with efficient processing by itself and in blends, make INNATE™ Precision Packaging Resins an excellent fit for food packaging in particular, and consumer product packaging in general. INNATE™ resins offer:

Abuse and abrasion resistance
Down-gauging potential up to 25% while achieving similar or improved toughness (structure dependent)
Excellent durability for package and product protection
Film stiffness needed for efficient filling, displaying, and storing of packages like stand-up pouches
Film toughness for enhanced package optimization – even at refrigeration and frozen temperatures
Superb processability – alone or in blends
Toughness with excellent flex crack resistance – for liquid packaging

The Future of Sustainable Packaging – Introducing INNATE™ TF
Dow are pleased to introduce INNATE™ TF Polyethylene Resin for Tenter Frame Biaxial Orientation (TF-BOPE). It’s breaking through the sustainability limits of traditional PE formulations. Creating all-PE structures to replace BOPA and other non-recyclable polymers. Making packages that use less material, stand up to abuse, look great on the shelf, and are completely recyclable.

The environmental advantages of using INNATE™ TF resins make them an excellent option for promoting sustainability initiatives. That’s because INNATE™ TF resins – and flexible packaging structures made with them – are 100% recyclable in existing PE recycle streams.

Sustainability. Plus performance.

That’s why they call INNATE™ TF-BOPE resins the future of sustainable packaging.
