Product Description
TYBRITE™ 126 Clear Packaging Film is a mono-layer polyolefin film for flexible packaging applications.

TYBRITE 126 adds toughness and pinhole resistance to various flexible packaging designs. Its hot-tack and heat seal strength and its broad heat seal range allow fast, efficient processing and permit secure seals, even through contamination.

New experimental films are continually being developed. Please discuss your particular application needs with your Dow representative.
