Resin

An advanced ARCEL® 730 moldable foam resin features reduced bead size. This innovation enhances performance and expands the range of applications for this interpolymer packaging material. ARCEL combines the toughness of PE with the processability of polystyrene and delivers value to the entire supply chain by reducing packaging size and improving space and cube efficiency, the co. says. Conversion to ARCEL 730 is seamless from a tooling and physical-properties perspective because the smaller beads contain the same polymer base as previous versions of ARCEL.
