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.
