Cross-Linked Soft Shrink Film

  • Seals and shrinks at low temperatures
  • High free shrink conforms to odd-shaped items
  • Low shrink force eliminates distortion on thin products
  • High clarity and gloss showcases retail items
  • Gross-linked for strength and toughness, and compatible with all types of sealing systems
Unit of Measure

Applications

N/A Bolphane® BRX is a multilayer, cross-linked, polyolefin soft shrink film. It is soft enough to wrap products that easily distort, but tough enough to package irregularly shaped items. Low temperature properties protect heat-sensitive products. Applications include printed and converted paper products, items packed in lightweight trays and boxes, and softer products. The high free shrink in BRX allows packaging of irregularly-shaped items, and produces the highest quality package aesthetics for shelf appeal.

The unique thermal properties of Bolphane® BRX allow for sealing and shrinking at lower temperatures than competitive shrink films. Bollore's exclusive cross-linking process increases the film's strength and toughness, while also providing strong and secure seals.That means wrapping packages in Bolphane® BRX results in greater impact resistance and product protection during shipping and retail display.
