SBC for Industrial Packaging
Nowadays load stability, easy handling, robustness and protection of the goods are essential for pallet packaging. Stretch hoods based on Styroflex®, a styrene-butadiene block copolymer from BASF, are a state-of-the-art solution offering: |
- Improved pallet stability
- Improved transportation safety
- Strong recovery capacity
- Excellent tear resistance
- Low weight
- Stretchability of more than 200%
- Greater palleting flexibility
- Lower retooling times

| |
100μm film has never been so strong and stretchable (up to 200%) |
|
New applications can be explored thanks to Styroflex®. Styroflex enables downgaging without losing performance. Thus the total weight of your packaging will decrease, generating a positive impact on the environment. |
 |
 |
Improved transport safety |
|
Thanks to an increase in tear and puncture resistance, Styroflex® based stretch hoods improve load stability and avoid any disruption in the process.

An easy to handle solution which increases capacity utilization |
|
The capacity utilization in trucks is increased by up to 30% allowing more goods to be stacked on one pallet. Smaller film rolls are needed, saving storage space. |
|

|
| |
Goods are easily localized and stored
|
|
Optimal bar code reading through the film.
