Total Petrochemicalsa Petrochemicals World Major
Total Petrochemicals, one of the world’s leading petrochemicals producers, brings together the petrochemicals activities of the Total Group: base chemicals and their related polymers (polyethylene, polypropylene and polystyrene).
With about 6,250 employees worldwide, Total Petrochemicals is present in Europe, the United States, the Middle East and Asia. Our products serve numerous consumer and industrial markets, including packaging, construction and the car industry.
As part of the Total Group, Total Petrochemicals draws on strong synergies with Total’s refi ning business, particularly in Europe and the United States, as well as with its exploration and production segment, mainly in the Middle East. To ensure ongoing development, Total Petrochemicals pursues a strategy aimed at improving the competitiveness of its plants in Europe and the United States, as strengthening its position in Asia and at developing projects that benefi t from a more favourable access to raw materials, such as ethane in Qatar, or strong synergies with refi ning such as aromatics units on the site of the future Jubail refi nery.

Hood fi lmRandom copolymer, PPR 3260 features thermal properties between those of polypropylene homopolymer and those of polyethylene. These properties are particularly valuable in the inner layer of shrink-wrap palletizing fi lm. It prevents fi lm adhesion onto the surface of goods during the heating phase.
A long-standing and fi rst choice supplier to the packaging sector, Total Petrochemicals has developed a comprehensive range of polyolefi ns grades covering the various technologies used in the production of both monolayer and multilayer fi lm.
Ever attentive to the needs of the packaging sector, Total Petrochemicals offers specifi c grades for the manufacturing of thermoformable sheets, injection molded articles or bi-oriented polypropylene fi lm (BOPP). Total Petrochemicals also offers a comprehensive range of polypropylene grades for cast and blown fi lm producers. Suitable for every type of production line, these products meet all the requirements in terms of fi lm property and processability. Thanks to it’s complete Research and Development structure (from catalysis to “pellets”) Total Petrochemicals commits itself to design the future of packaging with it’s customers.
The strictest product quality control along with the mastery of our production technology guarantees outstanding product quality and consistency.
Medical fi lmRandom copolymer PPM R021 is specially designed to fulfi ll the European and American pharmacopoeia. It can be processed on both cast and blown fi lm lines and is appreciated for its excellent mechanical properties and good optics. Films made with PPM R021 are especially suitable for the production of sterilizable transparent medical pouches.
Total Petrochemicals confi rms its commitment to the fi lm marketsIn its desire to serve its customers better, Total Petrochemicals has extended its cast fi lm product range with four new references. These grades have been designed to address the whole range of cast fi lm applications (cfr fi g 1):
Two homopolymer grades - PPH 6080 & its slip and antiblock additivated version PPH 6088 – bringing excellent optical properties, high stiffness, high heat resistance and good sterilisability.
Two random copolymer grades – PPR 6280 & its slip and antiblock additivated version PPR 6288 – bringing outstanding optical properties, very good heat sealing and sterilisability.
These references are the starting point of a new standard reference in the fi lm market.

Solutions for retortable packagingPolypropylene is appreciated both for the mechanical properties it gives to the fi lm and for its excellent temperature stability. These properties are particularly advantageous for instance in the manufacture of retortable or microwavable package (stand up pouches).
Polypropylene block copolymers PPC 2660 or PPC 3660 feature excellent mechanical properties as well as very high perforation resistance. In addition, both grades provide very high seal strength, which guaranties the seal integrity over the package shelf life. Films produced with PPC 2660 or PPC 3660 display high impact properties and low gels level, which make them particularly suitable for lamination.
PPC 2660 has a very high viscosity. This makes it suitable for blown fi lm. Like PPC 3660 it is a gel free material with good processability offering outstanding bubble stability.

This exceptional set of properties is maximised thanks to the combined use of metallocene PE and metallocene PP.

High quality fi lm for sensitive food packagingFilms made of Lumicene® MR 2002 display an outstanding set of properties in comparison with conventional ZN PPH cast grades ((cfr fi g 3) 3).
On top of outstanding optics and superior tenacity, MR 2002 offers cost saving opportunities to the packaging industry. First of all, technically speaking, the very narrow molecular weight distribution of MR 2002 allows high extrusion speed on cast lines. Secondly, the higher rigidity of the fi lm produced with MR 2002 allows our customer to go one step further in terms of downgauging. Finally, the lower SIT reached with MR 2002 will benefi t to fi nal user in terms of production throughput.
MR 2002 is also highly recommended for sensitive food applications. The extremely low extractable content is favourable for the best organoleptic properties. This can be seen in fi g 4 4 when MR 2002 fumes emissions are approx 4 times lower than controlled rheology ZnPP, hence a signifi cant reduction in die and roll deposit and so much lower potential for fl avour modifi cation.

Two random copolymer grades – PPR 6280 & its slip and antiblock additivated version PPR 6288 – bringing outstanding optical properties, very good heat sealing and sterilisability.
These references are the starting point of a new standard reference in the fi lm market.

Blown Film for transparent packagingIn blown fi lm Total Petrochemicals recommends to use PPR 3221 in the outer layer of multilayer fi lms ((cfr fi g 6) 6). Films with PPC 2660 or Total Petrochemicals Lumicene® polyethylene as core layer and PPR 3221 as skin layer offer remarkable gloss and transparency. These fi lms are particularly adapted for the manufacture of bread bags or textile packaging.

High stiffness fi lmPPH 4026 has been especially developed for the production of very stiff fi lm. Processed on cast fi lm lines, PPH 4026 allows signifi cant downgauging. Its specifi c design enables to maintain higher stiffness at elevated temperature compared to conventional resins.
PPH 4070 has been specially designed to combine stiffness and metallization. Both product are benefi cial for hot fi lling or the retort process.

Solutions for retortable packagingPolypropylene is appreciated both for the mechanical properties it gives to the fi lm and for its excellent temperature stability. These properties are particularly advantageous for instance in the manufacture of retortable or microwavable package (stand up pouches).
Polypropylene block copolymers PPC 2660 or PPC 3660 feature excellent mechanical properties as well as very high perforation resistance. In addition, both grades provide very high seal strength, which guaranties the seal integrity over the package shelf life. Films produced with PPC 2660 or PPC 3660 display high impact properties and low gels level, which make them particularly suitable for lamination.
PPC 2660 has a very high viscosity. This makes it suitable for blown fi lm. Like PPC 3660 it is a gel free material with good processability offering outstanding bubble stability.

Lumicene® PE & PP the “Total” synergy between metalloceneThe use of coextrusion technology delivers the combination of mechanical, thermal and optical properties of polypropylene together with the tear and impact resistance of polyethylene. This exceptional set of properties is maximised thanks to the combined use of metallocene PE and metallocene PP.
Indeed, this unique metallocene technology platform, offered by Total Petrochemicals - under the brand name Lumicene® - brings an excellent inter-layer adhesion (cfr fi g 2) which gives the great advantage of avoiding the use of tie layers between the materials.
High quality fi lm for sensitive food packagingFilms made of Lumicene® MR 2002 display an outstanding set of properties in comparison with conventional ZN PPH cast grades ((cfr fi g 3) 3).
On top of outstanding optics and superior tenacity, MR 2002 offers cost saving opportunities to the packaging industry. First of all, technically speaking, the very narrow molecular weight distribution of MR 2002 allows high extrusion speed on cast lines. Secondly, the higher rigidity of the fi lm produced with MR 2002 allows our customer to go one step further in terms of downgauging. Finally, the lower SIT reached with MR 2002 will benefi t to fi nal user in terms of production throughput.
MR 2002 is also highly recommended for sensitive food applications. The extremely low extractable content is favourable for the best organoleptic properties. This can be seen in fi g 4 4 when MR 2002 fumes emissions are approx 4 times lower than controlled rheology ZnPP, hence a signifi cant reduction in die and roll deposit and so much lower potential for fl avour modifi cation.
