Jindal Films: PE film technology

See it at PACK EXPO International, Booth #N-4560! Jindal Films will showcase Ethy-Lyte™ 25HD200 a nonsealable, outer print web film designed to be used in an all-PE laminate structure that is recyclable. It provides increased clarity, modulus, and printability and can be used as an alternative to OPP and PET films in a variety of applications.

Oct 10th, 2018

This new range of films will meet the increasing global demand to provide sustainable packaging solutions for recyclable flexible packaging. On-going work within the flexible packaging industry, consumer packaging companies and the recycling community are driving packaging towards the elimination of multi-material laminates. Ethy-Lyte would provide opportunities for an all PE based recyclable package.

Jindal Films is working on expanding Ethy-Lyte technology to include sealable, cold seal receptive, white and barrier versions which will provide complete solutions to the packaging industry. These films will enable the transition from multi-material structures towards mono-material PE structures.
