Exploring the future | Gettel and LG Chem reached a strategic cooperation

Gettel and LG Chemical Achieve Strategic Cooperation

On August 17th, after full communication and friendly negotiations, Gettel an LG Chemical established a long-term and comprehensive strategic partnership. The two sides jointly signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for BOPE product cooperation, reaching a cooperation agreement for future cooperative development and product supply.

The strategic cooperation between Gettel and LG Chem aims to "provide innovative and sustainable innovative material solutions for the environment and society". In terms of the development and application of Gettel BOPE products, LG Chem fully supports and shares technology , to jointly promote the healthy development of the plastic packaging industry in the direction of low carbon and sustainable development.

Before the two parties signed the agreement, Han Shixi, vice president of NCC/PO business department of LG Chem, and Li Yingzhou, general manager of Shanghai Branch, visited the Polymer Research Institute and Gettel Cultural Exhibition Hall, listened to the introduction of Gettel technological innovation, and learned about The development history of Gettel. In recent years, Gettel has continuously promoted the recycling of plastics, focusing on building a green, low-carbon, and circular green development path. And successfully developed BOPE series products, including BOPE glossy film, matte film, high barrier film, metallized film and label film, etc. After strict inspection, the product quality meets and exceeds the requirements of national and industry standards, and has won high praise from the market and customers.

Build a green, low-carbon, circular green development path

BOPE, that is, biaxially oriented polyethylene film, is made of special PE raw material, which is stretched longitudinally and then transversely. It is widely used in food packaging, composite bags, vertical liquid packaging bags, etc. The use of BOPE film can effectively reduce the thickness of plastic packaging and reduce the amount of packaging materials used by about 30%. At the same time, BOPE film can realize the "simplification" of multi-material composite flexible packaging, and provide customers with a single material that is easier to recycle and reuse, lightweight and low-carbon material solutions.

At the exchange meeting, Li Yingzhou, general manager of LG Chem Shanghai Branch, introduced the product characteristics and value of LG Chem's BOPE high-density polyethylene resin. This product has excellent extrusion and double-drawing performance, which can improve the stiffness and Heat resistance, can improve the performance of subsequent printing, bag making, etc. After double-drawing, the excellent toughness of BOPE can be guaranteed, and it can be combined with other printed PE substrates, such as BOPE and MDOPE, to realize the full PE structure of the package.

The vice president of LG Chem's NCC/PO business unit said that LG Chem is also transforming sustainable development into business advantages and new growth points for future business development, and regards environmentally friendly materials, battery materials, and global new drugs as three new growth engines. LG Chem looks forward to creating new opportunities to be able to establish a solid partnership with Gettel in the field of environmentally friendly materials.

Liu Chao, deputy general manager of Gettel Marketing Center, also introduced BOPE--HG series products and application cases. At present, Gettel BOPE products are mainly used in heavy-duty packaging bags, daily chemical products, single-layer packaging structures, and quick-frozen food packaging, liquid packaging, electrical appliances, etc. Commercial packaging, etc., the product has stable performance, high temperature resistance, tensile resistance, and can effectively resist impact. Since BOPE improves the barrier properties and has the advantages of application coating and aluminum plating to replace high-barrier nylon films, Gettel Polymer Materials Research Institute has already reserved senior talents in this field. There is no doubt that BOPE products will be the future of Gettel one of the leading products of development.
