Dependable Resins for Modern Packaging

Produced by DOW, INNATE™ Precision Packaging Resins offer dependable performance for consumer packaging, particularly in food packaging. These resins provide durability and abuse resistance, with efficient processing both alone and in blends. INNATE™ resins are designed to meet the essential characteristics of today's packaging applications, including strength, stiffness, toughness, durability, processability, sustainability, and blendability.

Key Benefits of INNATE™ Resins:

• 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 optimisation – even at refrigeration and frozen temperatures
• Superb processability – alone or in blends
• Toughness with excellent flex crack resistance – for liquid packaging
   

Advantages for the Entire Value Chain:

A Perfect Fit for Your Applications

INNATE™ Precision Packaging Resins are designed to be a perfect fit for a wide range of applications. Whether it's food packaging, industrial packaging, heavy-duty shipping sacks (HDSS), pallet containment, silage wrap, specialty packaging, or components for artificial turf, INNATE™ resins deliver lighter, stronger, and more durable packaging films.

The Future of Sustainable Packaging – Introducing INNATE™ TF

DOW is pleased to introduce INNATE™ TF Polyethylene Resin for Tenter Frame Biaxial Orientation (TF-BOPE). This innovative resin breaks through the sustainability limits of traditional PE formulations by creating all-PE structures to replace BOPA and other non-recyclable polymers. INNATE™ TF resins make 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. These resins – and flexible packaging structures made with them – are 100% recyclable in existing PE recycle streams.

Sustainability plus performance – that's why INNATE™ TF-BOPE resins are considered the future of sustainable packaging.
