ConcentratesAMPLIFY™ TY Concentrates can be blended with standard polyolefins at a range from 5-40% depending on the desired adhesion level, rheology matching, performance optimization and processing technologies.

Features and Benefits - Customizable adhesion performance to meet specific application requirements.

- Excellent adhesion to PE, PP, PA and EVOH for enhanced packaging integrity.

- Highly flexible solution enabling adjustment of the rheology to suit multi-layer conversion process requirements.

- Cost-efficient solution; savings can be achieved by consolidating tie layer resins (one fits all), reduced tie layer consumption by tailoring adhesion to specific structures, and lower cost compared to formulated commercial tie layers.
