The new Ultramid will be presented at Interpack 2017 in Düsseldorf. BASF's Ultramid Flex F38 L is an entirely new and partly bio-based copolyamide. Thanks to its softness and transparency even at low temperatures and low humidity, this polyamide is ideally suited for soft packaging. Tear and puncture resistance are also increased in an even softer film.
A quarter of the raw material used for the monomer is sourced from regionally grown rapeseed oil. Ultramid Flex F38 L supports the trend towards more sustainable packaging solutions. For the packaging industry, the new Ultramid Flex F unlocks entirely new opportunities for launching bio-based products onto the market.
With a CO2 and O2 permeability 15 times higher than in conventional polyamide 6, the new Ultramid Flex F38 L possess considerably changed barrier properties. For example, Ultramid Flex F is ideally suited for use as cheese ripening bags. The new Ultramid can also be used to produce soft vacuum and shrink bags.
