Applications

SURPASS film resins set a new performance standard for the polyethylene film market.

Our customers can make products that are stronger and thinner, with both improved clarity and better puncture performance. In most cases, SURPASS film resins run faster than competitive resins and also run on existing equipment, which translates into increased operating efficiency with no capital outlay.

NOVA Chemicals offers a portfolio of resins for ultra-high-barrier film applications designed to enhance the convenience, value and safety of consumer packaging applications.

Designed for cast film and extrusion coating, our new developmental SURPASS
EX-HPs667-AB resin offers unmatched performance in barrier and stiffness. The barrier resin delivers up to 50 percent moisture barrier improvement over conventional technology, along with the ability to provide solution redesign and improved sustainability for barrier packaging solutions in markets such as snacks, beverages, dairy, pet foods and lawn & garden applications.

For blown film extrusion, SURPASS HPs167-AB resin provides packaging designers with the ability to reduce film gauge to meet their customer's performance and sustainability objectives, or maintain film gauge while drastically increasing barrier and stiffness performance. The resin also offers unmatched high-moisture-barrier performance in multi-layer packaging -- up to 50 percent improvement over existing resins. SURPASS HPs167-AB resin is perfect for any multi-layer film packaging application where moisture-barrier performance and/or stiffness are important including cereal and snack liners, meats, cheeses, ready-to-eat meals, pet foods, potting soil and other lawn and garden applications, soaps, printer cartridges and fumigation films.
