Dow introduces Innate TF polyethylene resins for tenter frame biaxial orientation

Answering the industry needs of high performance, consumer convenience, and recyclability, Dow has announced an innovative brand extension to the family of Innate precision packaging resins. Innate TF polyethylene resins for tenter frame biaxial orientation are bringing commercial viability to a long-desired packaging goal – Tenter frame biaxially oriented polyethylene (TF-BOPE) films. Compared to traditional polyethylene (PE) films, the TF-BOPE film made with Innate TF Polyethylene Resins for Tenter frame biaxial orientation, according to Dow, has higher mechanical properties and material rigidity, better optical and printing performance. It offers considerable sustainability advantages, including the potential for all-PE structures for recyclability. TF-BOPE films made using Innate TF resins demonstrate many properties valued across the value chain – optical properties such as transparency and glossiness; up to 80% less haze compared to traditional PE films; twice the impact strength and tensile modulus; three times the puncture resistance and tensile strength of traditional blown PE films; flex crack resistance, even under low temperature; and good tearability for convenience-in-use.
