General Information
Product Description

The world's leading shrink film just got better with the introduction of Embrace LV to the Embrace family of shrink film products. LV stands for LOW shrink force and VERSATILE shrink curve. Under normal extruder manufacturing conditions, this product maintains the same shrink characteristics expected from Embrace but has a 30% lower shrink force. Living up to its name, it demonstrates its versatility with its ability to be produced with up to a 40% reduction in shrink force versus the first generation Embrace resin with a shrink curve that is similar to both PVC and OPS while still maintaining ultimate shrinkage well above 70%. This versatility, not before possible with Embrace, is achieved by making changes to the extruders manufacturing process. Embrace LV emulates all visually satisfying attributes expected from the current Embrace such as high gloss and clarity.
