Pinhole-resistant nylon for the frozen environment
Recently, cold chain(low temperature transportation network) has expanded for the purpose of extending the shelf life of food. However, because of the low temperature, the burden on the packaging is getting bigger.

Advantage (layer composition)
Added cold-resistant function to the conventional pinhole-resistant grade, which are barrier (type PF) and non-barrier (type PG). Selectable depending on the application.
- ①Strengthen pinhole-resistant: Effective in preventing all pinholes.
- ②Add cold-resistant: Maintains flexibility in freezing and refrigerating environments.
- ③Multi-layered: Add multiple functions by multi-layer technology.
