High performance liquid foaming additives for vinyl, polyethylene, and polystyrene foaming applications 

Most films used in food packaging are either totally olefinic (polyethylene or polypropylene) or have multilayer structures in which the inner polymer surface is olefinic. In order to create the most appropriate anti-fog additives for different types of films, research was commissioned into potential interactions between anti-fog additives in polyethylene (BOPE) films and the bi-component adhesives used in the lamination of biaxially-oriented polyethylene terephthalate (BOPET) to a PE film. Following a broad screening of potential anti- fog candidates, production began on a series of polyethylene films containing the different types selected, and then laminates were produced with BOPET using bi-component adhesives.
