ELITE™ - Polyethylene Resins

Can there be too many choices?

• Options.
• Combinations.
• Custom designs.
• Being unique.
   

Who doesn’t like getting exactly what they want? ELITE™ Enhanced Polyethylene (EPE) Resins bring that excitement to plastics. That’s right, we used the words excitement and resins in the same sentence.

Distinctive property combinations

For nearly 20 years, ELITE™ EPE Resins have brought distinctive combinations of properties to formulations for flexible plastic packaging. Functionalities typically not found together in a single resin are possible with ELITE™ EPE Resins. And not just one or two.

The breakthrough science behind ELITE™ resins make dialing in precise performance properties possible:

• Better processability & excellent dart impact strength
• High stretch & high puncture resistance
• Impact strength & higher stiffness
• Improved sealability & higher stiffness
   

Exactly what you want

It’s simple. With ELITE™ resins, desired and diverse specific properties are easily available in a single product. Need the dart impact strength of a polyolefin plastomer with the modulus of LLDPE? Want the stiffness of an LLDPE with the low HSIT of an EVA copolymer?

These and other elusive performance combinations are within reach – for all sorts of applications:

• Agricultural films
• Bag-in-box uses
• Food packaging
• Heavy-duty shipping sacks
• Liquid packaging
• Overwraps
   

ELITE™ EPE Resins can even be found in select rigid plastic uses, such as rotational molding and durable goods.

General Information

ELITE® Octane based Enhanced Polyethylene Resins provide a single material solution that goes beyond the traditional combination of performance attributes in the film market. ELITE® offers cost-effective answers to a variety of challenges by bringing together the unmatched flexibility of the Dow Chemical Company (Dow) solution process with INSITE™ Technology.

When Elite® is used, the resulting products combine:

• Sealability and stiffness
• High stretch and high puncture resistance
• Impact strength and processability
• Stiffness and impact strength
• And many other unique combinations
   

What’s more, these single-resin benefits can be applied to a wide variety of film, laminate and coated products. For example, for liquids, dry, and frozen foods films, you can use ELITE® EPE (LLDPE) Resins to reduce package thickness by up to 25 percent without sacrificing toughness or processability. On high-speed stretch film lines, ELITE® EPE (Linear Low Density C8) Resins can run faster and thinner without compromising their holding force. And, for lamination films, packers can maintain stiffness and toughness while reducing pack weight. In these and many other film applications, from baby diaper back sheets to heavy duty shipping sacks, ELITE® EPE Resins bring a new dimension of performance also in low seal initiation temperature (SIT) and hot tack in sealant layers in multi-layer film applications.

Resinex and DOW are solution providers in the technical, food and specialty packaging film market with superior technical service capabilities. Regardless of the kind and size of an application, the important partnership of Resinex, DOW and you as Customer will provide the most economical, most sustainable, most profitable and best performing solution in your country, in your market, in your application.
