NUREL, S.A.

Extending our offer in Nylon 6 and 66 yarns

Since 1968, NUREL has accumulated extensive experience in the production of polyamide 6 polymers and yarns until it is considered one of the most innovative and highest quality producers in Europe.

Since 2006 we have increased our knowledge and experience in the production of nylon 66 filament that allows us to offer now a range of products of the highest quality.

The spinning mill inaugurated in 2010 and other more recent investments have enabled us to expand our production capacity of nylon 6 and 66 and gave us the opportunity to compete on quality and service with other large European manufacturers.

Our nylon 6 and 66 products are presented in the most common market formats: Cops, FDY, POY and beams.

INZEA^® is our response to our customers demands for more sustainable materials. INZEA^® is a range of biopolymers that may be processed by injection or extrusion methods using conventional equipments.

With optimal mechanical properties and similar processing parameters, INZEA^®could be the sustainable solution to replace oil based polymers e.g. polyolefins or styrenics with equivalent properties. INZEA^® biopolymers are compatible with standard fillers, additives and biopolymer based master-batches.

• INZEA^® is biodegradable and compostable, in accordance to EN 13432.
• INZEA^® is biobased.
• INZEA^® product range is suitable for Food Contact.

FOOD PACKAGING: Transparency and breathability are now possible with INZEA®. Excellent sealability and thermal shrink properties. The same functionality as conventional polymers, but the ability to valorise the film after use with organic wastes. It does not matter if the material is stained with food, everything is composted.

COMPOSTABLE PAPER COATING: INZEA® is the perfect match for other non-plastic materials, improving their performance and guaranteeing their eco profile. Using compostable coating over a compostable substrate, the difficult recyclability of multilayers with different materials is avoided.

Low melting temperature copolyamides a monomaterial solution.
Most packaging solutions require of the combination several polymers in order to achive the necessary technical requirements. In coextrusion films polyamides are used for their mechanical and barrier properties, and it is normally used in combination with polyethylene for its sealing properties. Nowadays this kind of packaging will become obsolete as they are not sustainable: they cannot be recycled. 

Promyde® , now offer a new technical solution: Promyde BF740 and Promyde BF640, seleable copolyamides that thanks to their lower melting temperature can be sealed at aprox. 160ºC. These new products bring to the market the posibility to create monomaterial packaging solutions with main polyamide advantages.

Copolyamides to improve O2 barrier and CO2 permeability

Polyamides are used on the packaging industy for their mechanical properties, such as tear and puncture resistance; and barrier advantages. NUREL, is now introducing two new breakingthough solutions to modify the barrier properties of polyamides. Promyde BF740 is a new developped copolyamide to improve oxygen barrier and Promyde BF640 formulated with an enhanced CO₂ permeability.

Promyde BF740 has been specifically designed for packaging solutions that require oxygen barrier to preserve food. By using BF740 the polyamide layer thickness will be reduced mantaining oxygen permeability, in some appliactions EVOH use can be avoided,  resulting in lighter and more cost efficient packagings. Unlike traditional polyamides, BF740 preserves its oxygen barrier even under high environmental humidity conditions,  being a highly valued solution for containers that undergo sterilization processes or that are destined to high humidity geographical areas.

Promyde BF640 is the material of choice for premium mature cheese packaging that support product’s ripening process. Thanks to its modified CO₂ permeability, films made of our copolyamide BF640 allows the release of maturing cheese gasses.

Promyde® antioxidant and antimicrobial properties in polymers

Promyde® present this innovation that will extend the shelf life of packed food. Our Active Packaging Technology consists of incorporating encapsulated active principles in to the polymer matrix in order to provide antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.

The active principles are released outside the capsules by a controlled diffusion method(pressure difference inside/outside the capsule); while gas-phase radicals permeate through the layer containing capsules, and are stabilized by the active principles.

The antioxidant and antimicrobial active principles are based on natural essential oils. These principles are active at vapour phase thus direct contact with food is not required, being the perfect solution for MAP food trays.

Our Active Packaging Technology can also be applied to any other polymer bases.
