Individualized films

A two-component concept that –differs from Styrolux HS 70 is being implemented for the first time. With Styrolux T (T = toughness) and Styrolux S (S = stiffness), this concept offers two new Styrolux grades from which the desired property profile of the shrink film can be set when the processor blends them, and only once they are put together do they yield the film "Styrolux T/S". The combination of the two newly developed Styrolux grades now allows manufacturers themselves to adapt the film properties to their specific requirements.
