UPES® resin, enabled by QINNEX® technology, is a next generation additive solution that is made possible by NOVA Chemicals’ innovation and environmental stewardship.  UPES resin broadens the processing window of most polyolefins; enabling higher throughput and creating source reduction and carbon savings opportunities to deliver a sustainable balance of performance and cost.

QINNEX technology is a polymerization process that combines unlike resins to form new enhanced polymers, creating a range of design possibilities. Based on a longstanding commitment to product and environmental stewardship, QINNEX technology delivers multiple sustainable solutions to our customers.
 

Tray-Pak Corporation, a leading source for customized thermoformed packaging, needed to develop a product that could withstand the weight of stacking multiple trays, had consistent wall thickness and better throughput.

UPES resin team helped Tray-Pak develop a cost-effective, sustainable packaging solution that reduced warpage, increased processing rates and provided greater crush strength through improved material distribution.
