From clear to outstanding ultra-clear packaging
Our product range for rigid food packaging boasts one of the most ultra-clear materials in the industry for thin-wall packaging applications, without sacrifyicing on other benefits. Thanks to its high luxury appeal on the shelf, packaging products based on our polypropylene have been increasingly picked as an alternative for more expensive and harder to recycle materials such as rigid Polystyrene.

Exceptional lightweightness
Thanks to the combination of low density - ranging from 0.895 to 0.92g/cm3 - and a good stiffness balance, Polychim’s Polypropylene offers a high potential of weight saving in key applications, including Injection moulded Thin-wall containers and thermoforming, while maintaining overall performance.

Barrier properties
The low moisture absorption and inertness of homopolymer Polypropylene makes it the material of choice to ensure high performance and reliability in food preservation, resulting in an optimized shelf life.
-
Recyclability
Rigid packaging Polypropylene boasts one of the highest recyclabilities at scale when compared to other polymers such as Polystyrene or complex applications such as multi-material or mono-material flexible packaging.
