Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC) has expanded its products range to include specialized medium-density (MD) low density polyethylene (LDPE) film grades used in applications requiring high clarity and stiffness.
A project is underway which aims to integrate a plasma technology-based system into existing machinery to enable fast continuous decontamination of flat packaging materials such as foils, films or lids.
LyondellBasell, a supplier of rigid and flexibile food packaging material, has cited a slump in demand for polyethylene as the reason for the temporarily idling of two of its low density polyethylene (LDPE) plants in the UK and France.
