Our Materials
At Flexopack Ltd, we are committed to producing high-quality polythene products using a range of materials that meet the diverse needs of our customers. Our advanced extrusion processes allow us to transform raw materials into durable, flexible, and versatile packaging solutions.
LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene)
LDPE is one of the most commonly used materials in our extrusion process. Known for its flexibility, toughness, and resistance to moisture, LDPE is ideal for a wide range of packaging applications. We extrude LDPE into various forms, including films and sheeting, which can then be converted into products such as bags, liners, and protective covers.
Recycled Materials
As part of our commitment to sustainability, we source high-quality recycled polythene materials from across the UK. These materials are reprocessed and incorporated into our extrusion operations, helping to reduce waste and support a more circular economy. By using recycled content without compromising on quality, we offer environmentally friendly packaging options that meet industry standards.
LLDPE (Linear Low-Density Polyethylene)
LLDPE provides additional strength and flexibility compared to traditional LDPE. This material is used for applications where enhanced durability is required, making it an excellent choice for heavy-duty packaging solutions. Our extrusion lines are equipped to process LLDPE into high-quality films and sheeting, ensuring the final product meets rigorous performance standards.
Masterbatches
In addition to our primary materials, we utilize a range of masterbatches to enhance the functionality and appearance of our extruded products. Masterbatches are concentrated mixtures of additives and pigments, which are incorporated into the raw polythene during the extrusion process. This allows us to customize our materials for specific applications, ensuring they meet exact performance and aesthetic standards.
Additive Masterbatches
We offer a variety of additive masterbatches to modify the properties of our polythene materials. These include:
- UV Stabilizers: Protect materials from degradation caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight, making them ideal for outdoor applications.
- Antistatic Additives: Reduce the buildup of static electricity, crucial for industries where static can interfere with product handling.
- Slip and Antiblock Additives: Improve the handling and processing of films by reducing friction and preventing layers from sticking together.
- Biodegradable Additives: Support eco-friendly packaging solutions by promoting the breakdown of materials over time under the right conditions.
Colour Masterbatches
For customers requiring specific branding or aesthetic requirements, we provide a broad selection of color masterbatches. These are carefully blended into our materials to ensure consistent, vibrant colors, allowing us to produce customized packaging that aligns with your brand identity.
High-Performance Solutions
By utilizing advanced masterbatch formulations, we can significantly enhance the durability, functionality, and appearance of our polythene products. Whether it's increasing the strength of a packaging film or adding vibrant colors to a protective sheet, masterbatches are a critical component of our extrusion and conversion processes.
