Promoting Local Products, Chandra Asri Launches Flexible Packaging Material

In a response to high demand and the absence of domestic production, PT Chandra Asri Petrochemical Tbk launched Asrene® C6 Metallocene LLDPE to make films with higher tenacity and sealing strength such as multi-layer printed packaging and heavy-duty. This packaging is usually used for applications such as cooking oil standing pouch, stretch film (plastic wrap), and rice bags. Previously, domestic demand for C6 Metallocene LLDPE was met only by imports. Using Metallocene in the production process resulting packaging product leak-proof, tear-resistant and shatterproof. This product has also obtained approval from the Food and Drug Supervisory Agency (BPOM) and Halal certificates from the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) and therefore it is safe and quality guaranteed. The current 50 kilo tons per year production capacity of Asrene® C6 Metallocene is also one of Chandra Asri's efforts in diversifying the LLDPE products in order to meet consumer needs and expected to help ease the import burden.
