Industrial Films
Discover materials for industrial film applications, such as stretch films, collation shrink, shipping sacks and more. In today’s ever more connected world, the need to move goods over long distances is growing. For the good of people and the planet, it’s increasingly important to do this more safely and sustainably. We’re helping to make this happen by offering lighter, stronger and more versatile industrial packaging solutions for products of all shapes and sizes.
Dow load stability - product and technology offerings
There’s a growing need to move goods further and faster – our innovation and technology helps to ensure this is done safely and sustainably.
Collation Shrink Film
The benefits of collation shrink films are numerous, and we understand that with an application this versatile, you need resins just as versatile. Creating the right industrial film is essential, and we offer a range of resins ready to help you develop the perfect product for your needs, and solutions that enable the inclusion of PCR.
Heavy Duty Shipping Sacks
What do you need from your heavy-duty shipping sacks? Toughness? Weatherability? Whatever it is, we offer a variety of resins with downgauging and PCR integration possibilities, to bring you closer to your performance and sustainability goals.
Stretch Hood Films
Just as your goods need different types of packaging, we know your packaging needs different levels of protection. That’s why we offer a portfolio of resins for you to mix and match, helping you to create the stretch hood films that are right for you.
Stretch Wrap Films
Stretch films play an essential role in increasing the stability of pallet loads and ensuring the safe transportation of goods. What if we told you we can help you downgauge your films or incorporate PCR in your film structure, without compromising performance?
Moving goods more safely and sustainably
Integrating PCR content without compromising performance.
As part of our mission to increase recyclability and reduce plastic waste, we’re working to integrate PCR content into our solutions; but how do we do this without compromising on performance?
Create more sustainable industrial films and packaging solutions that integrate post-consumer recycled (PCR) materials and make the best use of our resources without compromising on the required industry load stability parameters.
Working with partners BPI and HIPAC, renowned packaging film producers, we achieved an optimized combination of secondary and tertiary packaging, enabling a reduction of materials used without compromising on load stability and preventing goods from being wasted.
Industrial Films
Through this collaboration, we were able to:
- Replace more than 30% of virgin materials with 30% post-consumer recycled materials in Heavy Duty Shipping Sacks (HDSS), making them more sustainable while still robust and durable.
- Downgauge the stretch films from the standard 23 microns down to 12 microns while still maintaining all the key mechanical properties needed in the industry.
- Reduce film consumption from 594 to 299 grams per pallet, while still providing all the critical properties of high-performance industrial films and meeting the industry load safety requirements.
