Product Description
Eastman Embrace HY1000 compound is combined with Eastman Embrace copolyester to create a white opaque microvoided shrinkable film. Eastman Embrace HY copolyester can have a density below 1.0 g/cc with a high ultimate shrinkage of up to 70%. Benefits of Eastman Embrace HY copolyester such as UV protection, low density for recycling needs and a soft hand for squeeze applications offer a robust packaging solution that is appealing to the consumer and functionable for the brand owner. Unique shelf appeal, marketing benefits of full body shrink film labels along with the ability to shrink around highly contoured containers makes Eastman Embrace HY copolyester another new and fresh idea from Eastman Chemical Company that will further differentiate your product.
