Akulon overview

Explore Akulon® for extrusion applications

The main grades find their way into film for food packaging, but we also market a portfolio for medical and industrial packaging, monofilaments, fibers, stock shapes and tubes.

Food packaging: Akulon is fast becoming the material of choice for film formulators looking for an excellent barrier material that extends the shelf life of packaged food – and thus avoids the environmental and financial cost of food waste. The semi-crystalline structure of Akulon provides a strong barrier against oxygen and aromas; while the material also offers exceptional mechanical strength and durability. Not a bad package…
