LOW MELT OR “TOTAL BATCH INCLUSION” ( TBI ) FILMS

These are films used to package ingredients usually for tires and other synthetic rubber compounds. Long ago, these ingredients would be added manually to a batch taking shape on a conveyor belt. Now the ingredients are pre-packaged on the outside in bags.

Bags of specific ingredients and quantities are pre-packaged and dropped into what is known as a “Banbury” mixer. The film must melt at a low temperature and disperse into the mixture rapidly.

Historically, EVA of varying percentages has been popular.

We have two offerings for this application. Both have exceptionally low melting points and are strong. Strength is critical. By using the minimum thickness possible, the final product will contain the minimum content of packaging material and be as pure as possible.
