Innovative Topene™ Blown Film for Bags

The innovative Topene™ RB blown film designed for biological processes is composed of ULDPE (ultra-low-density polyethylene), EVA (ethylene-acetic acid ethylene copolymer), EVOH (ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer) and LDPE (low density polyethylene). The ULDPE layer with low extractability, low precipitation, good chemical compatibility and biological safety is used as the liquid contact layer. The EVA layer has good resistance to flexural cracking and the EVOH layer minimizes gas diffusion of the film. The outer LDPE layer provides strong puncture resistance, strength and excellent thermal stability.

The Topene™ RB film has an ultra clean inner surface, good environmental stress resistance, tear resistance, rubbing resistance, tensile resistance, chemical stability and biological safety.
