PHILADELPHIA, April 30, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Braskem (B3:
BRKM3, BRKM5 and BRKM6; NYSE: BAK; LATIBEX: XBRK), the largest
thermoplastics resins producer in the Americas and the worldwide
leader in bio-polymers, launched its new Prisma 6810 thermoplastic
resin, offering its clients an unmatched balance of transparency,
stiffness, and impact toughness for thermoforming
applications. The new Prisma 6810 resin is launching at
Braskem's client and partner pavilion at NPE 2018 – The Plastics
Show, the world's leading plastics trade show and conference.
Braskem's Prisma 6810 thermoplastic resin provides an
exceptional combination of characteristics not typically seen in
single resin solutions, including the toughness of an impact
copolymer, with stiffness and haze values approaching that of a
clarified homopolymer. This unique set of properties offers clients
an attractive new option for an assortment of widely used packaging
applications such as refrigerated deli containers, cold blended
drink cups, meat or seafood trays, and much more. With consumers
increasingly preferring clearer transparency containers, Braskem
clients were looking for new single pellet resin solutions that do
not require the addition of an elastomer to achieve the desired
performance characteristics. Prisma 6810 also maintains its
ductile characteristics at temperatures as low as negative 10
degrees Celsius.
Isla Regenye, Braskem America
Market Segment Leader, stated, "At Braskem we are always striving
to deliver innovative packaging solutions to our clients that offer
enhanced performance characteristics as well as support new product
applications. Our new Prisma 6810 thermoplastic resin delivers on
this promise and reinforces our commitment to the thermoforming
market, which is a strategic growth area for us. We believe Prisma
6810 meets the market's growing preference for clearer containers
and that its unparalleled performance properties make it an ideal
new candidate for material replacement opportunities."
Braskem will be hosting clients and partners interested in
Prisma 6810 at the Braskem pavilion #S22001 at NPE 2018 being held
at the Orange County Convention
Center in Orlando, Florida from
May 7 to 11, 2018.
