The sector of enclosures and caps benefits of the most resistant materials and economic of Sabic

Sabic participated in the fair AMI plastic Closure Innovations 2014 (Berlin, 28-30 April) to show his commitment to expand his offer in the sector of enclosures and caps. Sabic Exhibited two new products. The new product of polyethylene of high density (HDPE) bimodal, Sabic HDPE AX7611, is designed to satisfy the specific needs for the enclosures and caps of the containers of mineral water with gas and gaseous soft drinks. For the sector of enclosures and skilled caps, Sabic exhibited his degree of polipropileno (PP) more recent, Sabic PP PHC28.

The main needs of the sector of the containers of beverages centre in guaranteeing a hygiene and an excellent performance of the product, improving the efficiency of costs and reducing the weight of the containers. These requirements are those that promote the competitiveness of the transformers, as well as the one of the owners of marks. Sabic Knew to understand the challenges posed and developed Sabic HDPE AX7611 to support the chain of value of enclosures and caps. This new resin of HDPE bimodal advanced combines a performance organoléptico excellent with a high capacity of processing, and offers greater opportunities to reduce the thickness. Sabic HDPE AX7611 has the double of fluidity that a HDPE standard, what helps to the manufacturers to reduce considerably the times of cycle. This property allows a more economic processing reducing the consumption of power, what benefits so much to the transformers as to the owners of marks.

Besides, Sabic HDPE AX7611 has a resistance to breaks by environingingmental tension (ESCR) excellent. This allows to the manufacturers produce durable components and insurance, avoiding that they produce cracks or escapes by the use continued that they do the final consumers. Thanks to his stood out resistance to breaks by environingingmental tension and his upper fluidity, Sabic HDPE AX7611 carries to the limit the possibilities of reduction of the thickness. Philippe Rasquin, technical engineer of Marketing of HDPE of Sabic in Europe, explains: “The creation of light solutions is a crucial challenge in this sector, and Sabic HDPE AX7611 is the answer. Sabic HPDE AX7611 offers the essential properties that look for the manufacturers to produce enclosures and caps significantly lighter and, at the same time, more resistant.
