MDO blocked PE film is a type of high-performance polyethylene (PE) film made through a Machine Direction Orientation (MDO) process, which involves heating and stretching the film in one direction to improve its mechanical properties like stiffness and durability, along with enhanced barrier qualities. The term "blocked" refers to two layers of film being used in a multilayer structure, where the films are "blocked" together to create a single, high-performance film for packaging. These MDO-PE films are designed to enhance recyclability by enabling the creation of single-material (mono-material) packaging structures that can replace traditional, harder-to-recycle or not recycle multi-material laminates.
This manufacturing procedure significantly improves the mechanical and optical properties of the material, making it ideal for a variety of flexible packaging applications.
MDO BLOCKED PE is 100% recyclable and contributes to the reduction of plastic waste cause of 100% laminate recyclability.
