Fybrel™ (Polyolefin Synthetic Pulp), a Mitsui Chemicals Inc.
novel creation, is a highly fibrillated fiber similar to wood pulp.
The polyolefin synthetic pulp can be used in a number of food and
beverage packaging including:
|
 |
Disposable food trays
and packaging |
| |
|
Heat sealing paper for packaging |
| |
|
Heat sealing tea bag paper |
The heat sealing paper for packaging has many characteristics which
make it perfect for packaging applications including:
|
|
Heat Sealability
A heat-sealable product can be obtained by mixing Fybrel with
wood pulp in the papermaking process. |
| |
|
Excellent Thermal Moldability
Sheets containing Fybrel can be draw-formed, beautifully embossed,
and heat printed. Calendering yields a product with an extremely
smooth surface, and varying the heat and pressure can control
permeability. |
| |
|
Water Resistance
Paper containing Fybrel has improved resistance to water and
repels water better. Heat processing further enhances these
characteristics. |
| |
|
Superb Dimensional Stability
Fybrel products have excellent dimensional stability due to
their resistance to water. |
| |
|
Superior Resistance to Chemicals and
Oils |
| |
|
Controlled Air Permeability
Changing the pore size of the highly fibrillated fibers can
control the air permeability of Fybrel. |
