The packaging and speciality plastics business of Dow Chemical (Midland, Michigan / USA; www.dow.com) has launched the “Innate” family of precision packaging resins. The LLDPE resins have been created from a patented molecular catalyst coupled with advanced process technology and will allow customers to explore new packaging opportunities through their stiffness-toughness balance, processing ease and improved sustainability profiles, the company said.

Diego Donoso, business president for Dow packaging and speciality plastics, said the resins “were developed as a result of many discussions with converters and brand owners and careful analysis of the market trends. We’re excited about what Innate will enable in future packaging design.”
