AKULON® XP PA6 For Film Applications

AKULON® XP PA6 For Film Applications
DSM Engineering Plastics has released Akulon® XP, a new revolutionary barrier resin based on polyamide 6 (PA6), for multi-layer oxygen barrier films.


The new material differs from normal Polyamide 6 resins through its exceptional processing characteristics that allow dramatic productivity gains to be realized.

Every type of film-forming technology benefits from the enhanced properties of Akulon XP.

Cast film made with Akulon XP exhibits more uniform layer distribution than that made with conventional materials.

Paper coating benefits from higher speeds, increased web stability and reduced neck-in.

Blown film similarly benefits from better web stability, as well as the option of using thinner layers, even for tear-resistant applications.

Akulon XP meets U.S. FDA standards for food contact.
