SURPASS® HPx267-AB Resin
New moisture barrier resin technology offers previously unachievable polyethylene performance
SURPASS HPx267-AB resin sets the new standard in moisture-barrier performance. With improved barrier performance over our best-in-class HPs167-AB, the new HPx267-AB delivers a new level of protection for moisture-sensitive layers and products in food packaging.
HPx267-AB helps advance the circular economy by enabling replacement of metallized BOPP or PET-laminate non-recyclable films with recyclable, PE-based designs. Packaging engineers also have more flexibility to design a wide range of barrier films without sacrificing moisture barrier performance, toughness or processability.
Designed for blown films, HPx267-AB is ideal for a wide variety of food packaging applications including meat, cheese, cereals and crackers, baking staples, high-fat content foods, pet food and more.
