In demanding applications such as molds and high-expansion emulsions, standard or stiffer casings can risk breakage during cooking and thermal processing. This may lead to product loss, rework, and unnecessary waste.
Nova Flex types are developed to provide the additional elasticity needed for these challenging applications—while maintaining the strength and reliability expected from Nova plastic casings.
How is this achieved?
- Tailored material combinations for greater radial expansion
- Optimized shrink behavior to work together with product expansion
- Gauge optimization balancing flexibility and toughness
By adapting the casing structure to the product and process, producers can achieve target sizes and yields more consistently, even with demanding formulations.
“By developing an enhanced-flexibility version of the casing structure, we eliminated breakage without compromising performance elsewhere.”
The result is improved process stability, reduced waste, and greater confidence during production.
