Features & Benefits

Features
  • HTM 8028 R provides the film with upgraded clarity levels.
  • The film shrinkage properties are soared by using HTM 8028 R along with choosing the right process conditions: high shrinkage ratios and lower temperature in TDO.
  • Improves the barrier features: Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) and Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR).
  • Decreases the micro roughness on the film surface thus improving the aluminum adhesion in the metallization process.

Applications & Uses

Applications
  • BOPP films
  • CPP films
  • Shrinkable film, cigarettes film and film intended for confectionery wrapping.
Dosage

The dosage ratios depend on the expected outcomes, process conditions, film thickness and polypropylene grade. However, adding between 4-9% usually turns into improvements on the processing, clarity and metallization; adding between 10-22 % will lead to a remarkable increase of the film stiffness and shrinkage features; and let down ratio between 23-35% are required to improve the twist properties and the barrier characteristics.
