ICE® Coex Technology

For Unmatched Clarity, Formability & Barrier, Put Your Products on ICE®

ICE® films are the ultimate fusion of barrier, performance and value. Produced using a breakthrough coextrusion process, ICE® nylon films have become the industry benchmark for production efficiency, product protection and consumer appeal.

Whether you are seeking superior forming depth for bone-in meats, unsurpassed formed pocket memory for gas-flushed products or outstanding puncture resistance for high-pressure processing, there’s an ICE® film for your application.

ICE® HM “High Memory” Forming Films

The leading choice for forming webs in horizontal/form/fill/seal applications.

Innovations/Advantages	Applications
Promotes high-speed machining for superior productivity Cooler forming temps result in greater corner thickness vs. competitive film, allowing greater oxygen barrier and longer shelf life Higher residual shrink and memory retention create attractive, wrinkle-free packages Excellent puncture resistance protects against abuse, leaks Maintains tight shape and clarity during high-pressure processing Provides color fade protection to maintain premium product appeal	Cook-In Ham, Turkey Frozen Fish and Seafood HPP (High Pressure Pasteurization) Applications Pouching/Master Bag Applications Poultry Processed Meats—Franks, Sausage, Lunchmeat, Bacon, Jerky Steaks String Cheese, Cheese Loaves Vertical Applications—Meat/Chicken Slurry
