If you want to push what’s possible for high-performance barrier backsheet films that are thin yet durable, tough yet discreet, let’s talk.
Breathable blown films
Our low-gel resins offer the opportunity to downgauge, tailor the stiffness/toughness balance, and improve Machine and Cross Direction (MD/CD) property balance.
Breathable cast films
Our low-gel resins offer enhanced stiffness/toughness balance, excellent breathability as well as excellent shrinkage control for high quality registered printing, reliable processability and consistent performance.
Wipes: Simplicity and synergy using Dow materials and expertise in antimicrobial formulations, binders and packaging.
Medical backsheets: Less porous yet more comfortable and breathable protection for healthcare workers and patients.
Breathable backsheets: Do more with less… and breathe easier with downgauging that supports blown and cast films.
Non-breathable blown films
Shh. Listen to the quiet that is possible with our low-noise, low-gel resins designed for top and backsheet blown films. Their tailored stiffness/toughness balance and enhanced hydrohead performance help to enable converters and brand owners to enjoy the peace of mind that comes from reliable processability and trustworthy performance.
Non-breathable cast films
Designed specifically for cast film processes, our low-noise, low-gel resins offer improved neck-in performance during the cast process. They feature tailorable stiffness/toughness balance along with downgauging potential for improved sustainability and pound per square foot (lb/ft2) productivity.
