How to gain high permeability in food packaging? |
High permeability is needed for maximum freshness in food packaging applications such as lunchboxes, food films and salad trays.
"Breathability" can be tailored by blending Styrolux® (BASF's styrene-butadiene block copolymer - SBC) with GPPS allowing the exchange of gases and moisture with the immediate environment.

Styrolux® clearly exhibits higher oxygen permeability than PET, and similar water vapor permeability to PVC. Try Styrolux® in your packaging applications to achieve maximum freshness. |
