Greenflex EVA FL55

Versalis EVA Greenflex® FL55 is a specialty ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer developed by Versalis S.p.A. (ENI, Italy) for co-extrusion blown and cast film, multi-layer lamination, stretch film, and high-performance food packaging. With 19% vinyl acetate, MFI 2.5 g/10 min, density 0.941 g/cm³, haze 1.5%, gloss 85%, dart impact 420 g, and brittleness < –80°C, FL55 delivers a rare combination of low fisheye purity, superior flexibility, optical clarity, and low-temperature sealability. Greenflex FL55 is engineered for converters and packaging manufacturers who demand crystal-clear, flexible, and strong multi-layer films with reliable tie-layer performance and food-contact compliance. Its balanced polarity and flow properties make it the ideal choice for co-extrusion, lamination, and flexible food packaging operations across India’s major film and packaging clusters.

Functional Features & Technical Authority

  • Low Fisheye Content: Advanced resin design ensures exceptionally clean, transparent films—ideal for premium multi-layer and barrier structures where visual clarity is critical.
  • Superior Tie-Layer Performance: 19% VA delivers strong adhesion between dissimilar polymers (PE, PP, PA, EVOH), eliminating the need for additional tie-layer resins in most co-extrusion and lamination applications.
  • High Flexibility & Elasticity: Outstanding elongation (560% MD, 750% TD) and tear resistance (50 N/mm TD) enable robust, flexible films that withstand stretching, handling, and repeated use.
  • Excellent Optical Clarity: Haze of just 1.5% and gloss 85% ensure films are bright, attractive, and suitable for consumer-facing food packaging.
  • Efficient Low-Temperature Sealability: Vicat softening at 58°C combined with high VA content allows for fast, energy-efficient heat-sealing at lower temperatures, improving packaging line speeds and reducing energy costs.
  • Broad Processing Window: Compatible with blown/cast film lines and a wide range of co-extrusion partners (PE, PP, PA, barrier materials), with stable extrusion at 150–170°C.
  • Food Contact & Regulatory Compliance: Certified to EU and FDA standards for food-contact plastics; compliance certificates available on request.
  • Premium Italian Pedigree: Manufactured by Versalis (ENI), ensuring batch-to-batch consistency, global traceability, and technical support.

Applications

Co-Extrusion Films & Multi-Layer Laminates:

Greenflex FL55 is the benchmark for multi-layer co-extrusion films, acting as a tie-layer, seal-layer, or flexibility-enhancing layer in PE/EVA/Nylon and PE/EVA/EVOH/PE structures. Its high VA content and low fisheye ensure strong, clear, and defect-free bonds—critical for barrier films and food packaging.

Lamination Films & Stretch Films:

Ideal for lamination structures, stretch films, and shrink films, FL55’s elasticity and sealability enable packaging that conforms to product shapes, resists tearing, and seals securely at low temperatures.

Barrier Films & Food Packaging:

Used in oxygen/moisture barrier films and food-contact laminates, FL55 delivers clarity, flexibility, and reliable heat-sealing for packaging meat, cheese, snacks, and more.

General Industrial Films & Specialty Applications:

FL55 is also suited for technical films, industrial laminates, and custom film formulations where adhesion, optical quality, and flexibility are required.

Key Application Highlights:

  • Multi-layer co-extrusion and barrier films
  • Flexible lamination and stretch films
  • Food-contact packaging and sealable films
  • Technical and industrial laminates

Then the question arises: where’s the content? Not there yet? That’s not so bad, there’s dummy copy to the rescue. But worse, what if the fish doesn’t fit in the can, the foot’s to big for the boot? Or to small? To short sentences, to many headings, images too large for the proposed design, or too small, or they fit in but it looks iffy for reasons.

A client that’s unhappy for a reason is a problem, a client that’s unhappy though he or her can’t quite put a finger on it is worse. Chances are there wasn’t collaboration, communication, and checkpoints, there wasn’t a process agreed upon or specified with the granularity required. It’s content strategy gone awry right from the start. If that’s what you think how bout the other way around? How can you evaluate content without design? No typography, no colors, no layout, no styles, all those things that convey the important signals that go beyond the mere textual, hierarchies of information, weight, emphasis, oblique stresses, priorities, all those subtle cues that also have visual and emotional appeal to the reader.
