WE’RE UP FOR A CHALLENGE.
NOVA Chemicals is a leader in
polymer technology and
applications development. We
work closely with our customers
to help them develop the
innovative products that
customers demand – products that
provide convenience, safety and
value.
 UPES®
resin, our signature
additive resin, helps packaging
designers engineer a smarter
solution. A solution that is
better performing and more
sustainable while maintaining
costs. UPES resin additive
inspires innovative designs for
conventional packaging – with
formulations that can be
tailored to individual parts and
equipment.
Our goal is to help customers
succeed. We do this by working
hard to find the right solution
for your design. We view every
project as a chance to
collaborate and turn
conventional designs into
innovative, better performing,
more sustainable end-products.
Thermoformers
using sheet containing UPES
resin have experienced:
• Increased thermoforming
rates (30-50% increases)
• Shorter cycles
• Reduced scrap rates
• Shorter start-ups
• Higher operating
efficiencies
• Reduced part warpage
Benefits of
using UPES resin in Polyolefins
include:
• Improved polymer “melt
strength”
• Significant improvement in
material distribution in formed
parts
• Reduced part shrinkage and
more consistent shrinkage of
parts
• Improved crush strength (by
as much as 2x)
• Lower weight parts
• Opportunities for source
reduction via down-gauging
without compromising performance
We’re up for a challenge
and welcome your design problems
and concerns. Our Innovation
Team is backed by years of
experience and we are committed
to working collaboratively with
customers to develop novel
solutions.

challenges.
