Description ^ Clysar® ABL is a strong, clear, crosslinked, biaxially oriented, polyolefin shrink film. DATA SHEET Clysar, LLC 888-4-CLYSAR marketing@clysar.com Highway 67 South Clinton, IA 52732 www.clysar.com Clysar. Clysar® ABL Films Uses Clysar® ABL is used where lower processing temperatures, superior package characteristics and a tough, durable wrap are required. Excellent shrinkage and seal strength are obtained under a wide range of operating conditions. It is specifically designed to function on the complete range of L-sealers and tunnels. Its outstanding memory and recovery provide attractive packaging after repeated handling. Significant Features Sealing • Compatible with all sealing mechanisms including systems designed for PVC films. • Due to a relatively low modulus, Clysar® ABL is not suited to high-speed form/fill/seal systems. • Sealing temperature range starts 20°F to 25°F lower than most polyolefin films. • Seals easily even under less-than-optimum conditions with virtually no pinholes in the seal. • Consistently seals at higher speeds than most other polyolefin films. • Does not corrode sealing wires or equipment. • Does not leave carbon deposit on sealing wires. Shrinking • Has a very wide shrink temperature range starting at 285°F. • This film has no definite burn-through point. It will begin to cloud when approaching overheating. • Compatible with air evacuation systems. Pin perforation requires a backup roller or the film may stretch and not perforate over the pins. Air evacuation is critical, as the lack of pinholes will not allow evacuation through the seals. • This film can be run on most shrink tunnels with consistently good results. It is not dependent on high air velocity to achieve good shrinkage. • Has medium shrink force and very high available shrinkage. • Shrinkage is balanced. General • Outstanding film memory. • Good tear and puncture resistance. • Very forgiving on less-than-optimum equipment. • Resists embrittlement with age. • Remains durable at freezer temperatures.
