FRIBOURG -- NOVA Innovene announced the introduction of NOVA Chemicals ZYLAR® EX 720 resins, the newest addition to the ZYLAR suite of clear acrylic copolymers. "We are excited to deliver a resin that meets the demands of the most challenging applications. With outstanding shatter resistance and excellent aesthetics, ZYLAR EX resins are ideal for lowtemperature food packaging." said Jonathan Stewart, NOVA Innovene's Business Director Polystyrene.
With unmatched low-temperature toughness and excellent clarity, ZYLAR EX 720 is ideal for applications such as refrigerated or frozen food packaging. Uses for ZYLAR EX 720 include fresh fruit and produce containers, salad bowls and lids, cold beverage containers, deli trays and frozen dessert packages.
ZYLAR EX 720 can be used to design complex parts and creates new opportunities for brand differentiation. In addition, ZYLAR EX delivers outstanding value for converters with improved processability, greater throughput and reduced part weight. Because it can be processed on existing styrenics equipment, ZYLAR EX enables converters to enter new markets such as food, retail and medical packaging with little or no capital investment.
