Sekisui Alveo has launched a new transport packaging material called Alveobloc.
Made from physically cross-linked Alveolen roll-foam, the company claims the homogeneous, closed cellular structure will guarantee outstanding impact damping and insulation properties.
It is suitable for various material cutting processes ranging from milling and punching through to water jet cutting, and can be laminated with hot air up to a thickness of 120 millimetres. It can also be used for case inserts and returnable packaging applications.
As it is free of silicone and inorganic fillers such as talc or chalk, there is no need to remove adhered silicone on processing machines and machine wear is said to be reduced to a minimum.
“Alveobloc is easy to use and can be further processed in a number of different ways to produce precisely-tailored packaging solutions”, says Oliver Bürklin, market manager at Sekisui Alveo AG.
