Honeywell expands film production

Morristown, N.J./USA – Honeywell is expanding production of its Aclar fluoropolymer film to meet growing demand for the clear, moisture-barrier material, which is used extensively in pharmaceutical packaging. An upgrade of existing production facilities, plus overall productivity improvements, is expected to boost Aclar production at Honeywell’s plant in Pottsville, Pa./USA by up to 23 percent by the end of the year. Aclar is a polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE) fluoropolymer film that has excellent moisture barrier and chemical stability. It is crystal clear, biochemically inert, nonflammable, and plasticizer- and stabilizer-free.
