Can flexible packaging reduce plastic use by 35%?

Flexible packaging is already light, especially compared to rigid containe.

A new masterbatch adds air pockets to polyethylene fil.

Implications of VO+ Technology

VO+ aims to accelerate the transition to more sustainable plastic and flexible packagi.

Today, VO+ technology is most widely developed in machine direction oriented (MDO) polyethylene (PE) fil.

Furthermore, when the VO+ void structure is created, light is diffracted by the film, resulting in a high level of opacity without the use of pigments such as TiO2 (titanium dioxid.

VO+ MDO PE films are relevant to a range of markets including flexible packaging, agricultural and industrial produc.

How is VO+ technology similar and/or different from nanotechnology that adds clay to film structures to improve barrier properties and reduce plastic usage?

Nanoclays and VO+ are very different technologi.

In contrast, VO+ is a polymer additive system supplied to film and packaging manufacturers as masterbatch resin pelle.

It may also be tempting to compare VO+ with CaCO3, which can be used as a cavitation age.

How about using this technology for transversely oriented films or biaxially oriented materials? What percentage of the packaging film is oriented in the machine direction?

VO+ is suitable for bidirectional or transverse orientation fil.

MDO is an excellent technology to reduce the size of the film to reduce the amount of plastic us.

How to calculate the amount of VO+ masterbatch added to the film manufacturing process?

It depends on the polymer and application requiremen.

In addition to material reduction, it is worth highlighting that many of our customers are also using VO+ to solve the recycling challenges associated with very high opacity fil.
