HYDROCEROL® PEX Series

Germany

The HYDROCEROL PEX Series is specially developed for Packaging EXtrusion applications where thermoforming characteristics of the finished film are a key issue. PEX Series foaming agents produce an especially fine-celled foam structure, enabling thermoforming without surface defects. Density reductions between 15 to 30% are usual in standard monolayer as well as in co-extruded (e.g., A-B-A) applications. HYDROCEROL PEX formulations are available for most common packaging resins, such as PP, PE, PS and PET.
Advantages in foaming sheets for packaging
  • The weight reductions that lead to significant material and cost savings.
  • For some applications an improved soft-touch effect is important. This can be reached by using chemical foaming agents in your packaging sheet.
  • For thermal insulation properties a foamed core of the articles is needed, this can be made with chemical blowing agents. Foamed sheets can be thermoformed much better than compact ones without any surface defects.
