INEOS Styrolution, a global leader in styrenics, has announced its K-Resin DK11 is suitable for controlled atmosphere packaging (CAP) film applications.

K-Resin DK11 had proven to be the ideal material for Chinese banana farmers who had been looking for a suitable packaging solution that enabled controlled ripening of bananas during transportation from Yunnan to other coastal regions in China.

The ideal packaging solution is expected to preserve the freshness, colour and integrity of the fruit. In addition, it is required to allow the fruit to organically ripen, without the use of preservatives or ripener during transportation.

Controlled atmosphere packaging film made with K-Resin DK11 provides better fruit and vegetable preservation.

K-Resin DK11 is easily processed to give tough, high clarity film. It combines good thermal stability with high gas permeability, making it suitable for CAP film packaging for fruits and vegetables, while extending their shelf life.

“We are extremely pleased with the performance of the CAP film produced using our K-Resin DK11. The excellent gas permeability of this film allows for the organic ripening of the bananas, while preserving the shelf life of the fruit especially during long cross-city state journeys,” remarked Jary Liao, Director, Transparent Specialties, Asia-Pacific, INEOS Styrolution.

K-Resin is INEOS Styrolution’s crystal-clear thermoplastic styrene-butadiene copolymer (SBC) and is known for its sparkling clarity, impact toughness, stiffness, and gloss. With international food contact regulations compliance, it is suitable for applications requiring food-contact compliance.
