Markets

Packaging
SK geo centric has the broadest range of specialty resins for packaging applications:

• Tie resins
• Sealing resins
• Seal-peel resins
• Barrier resins (EVOH)
• Processing masterbatches
• Hot-melt adhesives
• Flexible and rigid packaging: film, sheet, foil, tray, capsule
• Oxygen barrier packaging for long shelf-life of food products

SKGC resins have been designed to be processed with the most used technologies to produce films, bottles, trays, cups, barrier films… Their rheology have been adapted to processing technology such as extrusion coating & lamination, blown extrusion, cast extrusion, blow molding…Besides, the outstanding performance of Lotryl® BA at freezing temperature make them a great complement of Evatane® EVA copolymers as base resins for hot melt adhesives used at room and freezing temperature.

Circular Economy

SKGC resins contribute to the recycling of PCR and PIR wastes thanks to their outstanding capability to compatibilize various types of polymers. They are very efficient to compatibilize PET/PE,  PE/PA, PA/EVOH, PP/EVOH blends and can boost the properties of recycled ABS, PC, PET. 

Lotader® and Orevac® polyolefins can be used to design monomaterial packaging, facilitating their recycling into useful plastic items. SKGC products are used bring the following solutions for recycling applications:

• Recycling/Upcycling
• Ecodesign
• Renewable energy
• MDO
• Monomaterial
• Biobased
• PS relacement
• Burst peel lids

Automotive & Consumer Goods
SKGC resins contribute to lighter and more fuel-efficient vehicles by helping the replacement of metals by high performance thermoplastics. Their softness is key for sound-deadening foams used in electrical vehicles. They are also used in PVC replacement by non-halogenated flame retardant compounds.

• Impact modifier for engineering plastics for automotive, electronics, construction
• Adhesives for multilayer fuel tanks
• Soundproofing foam for automotive
• Foam for shoe soles
• Cable sheathing
• Compatibilizers
• Thermoadhesive films
• Wire & Cable - HFFR

Industrial & Construction
SKGC materials are used in a variety of Industrial & Construction applications such as monolithic breathable and radiant-barrier membranes, PV encapsulants, heating tubes. Orevac® resins have outstanding adhesive performance in steel pipe coating and shrink sleeves for metallic pipe corrosion protection.

• Agricultural films
• Breathable membranes
• Construction membranes
• Aluminum panels
• Chemical container
• Pipes & tubes
• Modifier for road bitumen and roofing membranes
• High voltage cables
