bpi (Brentwood Plastics Inc.)

Brentwood Plastics, Inc. is a 46 year old custom blown film extruder located in suburban St. Louis, Missouri eight miles from the famous St. Louis Arch. We precisely blend a variety of polyethylenes, or “polythenes” then extrude them to achieve characteristics required for your specific application.

We develop new films rapidly with minimum thickness for best economics and environmental responsibility. Our products are consistent after reaching the commercial phase.

We sell what is known as honest yield. In other words, you pay for the proper “yield”, or area from a specific weight of film. Our “handy math” tab provides all the tools needed to audit a supplier.

All products are FDA, Kosher and California Prop 65 compliant.

Our base resins include low density polyethylene ( LDPE ), linear low density polyethylene ( LLDPE ), medium density polyethylene ( MDPE ), high density polyethylene ( HDPE ), ultra low density polyethylene ( ULDPE ), several metallocenes, polybutylene and 1,2 syndiotactic polybutadiene.

Applications range from the mundane such as film for bags, shrink wrap and barricade tape to the more demanding such as individually quick frozen ( iqf), form/fill/seal (f/f/s), sealant layer for laminations and bulk liquids. We have several films which have passed rigorous biotoxicity protocalls for surgical drapes and other medical uses requiring prolonged and direct contact with human skin.

conversion factors for layflat tubing

 

 

Polyethylene Layflat Tubing

All our films start as what is called “layflat tubing”, a thin-walled tube which has been flattened, in contrast with thick rigid pipe.

 

available put - ups

 

 

Polyethylene Film and Sheeting

We supply polyethylene Film and Sheeting from the tube, we make other put-ups such as gusseted tubing, single or double ply sheet and centerfold.

 

 

Sealant Layer

Shrink Film Examples

 

 

Shrink Bundling Film

Our shrink bundling films are targeted for specific machine types and machine direction (MD) / Transverse Direction (TD) ratios.

 

 

examples of commercially viable oxo-biodegradable packaging

 

Biodegradable Packaging Film

With the addition of a catalyst, all our biodegradable packaging films can be made “oxobiodegradable”. Marketed under the brand name Regresa logo , the polyethylene degrades into small, common molecules after exposure to heat and light. Conforms to standard ASTM D 6954-04.
