The major challenge for pallet wrap solutions is to ensure load security during manipulation, transport and warehousing in order to reduce goods waste while being pushed to the limit to reduce packaging (downgauging – improved stretching).
Reducing the environmental impact by using less material while maintaining the same performance (puncture force, retention force, ultimate stretch, …) or even improve it is a “must” in a context where plastics and their sustainability are more frequently demanded.
TotalEnergies offers a comprehensive portoflio of Polyethelyne and Polypropylene to support your business growth.
Metallocene Polyethylene Lumicene®
TotalEnergies' range of Lumicene® is especially designed for thin gauge stretch wrap produced at high throughputs with low extrusion pressure.
In particular, Lumicene® M1835 offers strong stretching and mechanical properties, whereas Lumicene® M2735 is often used as non-cling layer.
Metallocene Polyethylene Lumicene Supertough®
TotalEnergies' range of Lumicene Supertough® offers you the ideal products to produce the correct stretch hood film to ensure the safe transport of your pallet.
A 15% improvement in holding force can be obtained with a 5 layer stretch hood recipe including Lumicene Supertough® in the core layer; this opens up possibilities for improved packaging performance and/or reducing your packaging costs. Lumicene Supertough® 16AST15 and 12AST05 can support reaching your objectives.
Finally, Lumicene Supertough® is used to produce stretch wrap film that provides outstanding strength and high toughness at high stretch ratios both for industrial and manual stretch applications.
Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymers (EVA)
Stretch wrap and stretch hood applications, TotalEnergies offers a range of Ethylene Vinyl Acetate Copolymers (EVA) products exhibiting good optical and mechanical properties.
Random Copolymer Polypropylene
Part of our Polypropylene portfolio, we offer M6571, a metallocene random copolymer specifically designed for cast film applications. It delivers excellent tear resistance when used as a layer in coextruded LLDPE stretch wrap films engineered for high‑speed, automated wrapping equipment.
M6571 also enables potential film gauge reduction compared to conventional stretch wrap films while maintaining performance. It also provides outstanding interfacial adhesion between layers when coextruded with metallocene LLDPE.
In addition, its inherently low haze ensures that labels and printed markings on packaged goods remain clearly visible through the stretch wrap.
RE:use Polymers
TotalEnergies offers circular integrating recycled plastics from the mechanical reycling of plastics under the RE:use range.
Our American product portfolio offers the H305I product, a natural homopolymer with 50% Post-industrial recycled.
H305I was designed for film. It is certified by a third-party for content and can be used for FDA Conditions of Use (COU) A through H.
RE:build and RE:newable polymers
TotalEnergies offers circular polymers derived from the advanced recycling of hard-to-recycle plastic waste under the RE:build range, and from certified renewable feedstock under the RE:newable range.
As all TotalEnergies polymer plants in Europe and the United-States have obtained the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC PLUS), the full TotalEnergies product portfolio is commercially available as TotalEnergies RE:build and RE:newable ranges through the mass balance approach.
