Is Your Film Truly Recyclable?

Many fle­xi­ble pack­a­ging solu­ti­ons look recy­clable — but con­tain hid­den mate­ri­al com­bi­na­ti­ons that make sepa­ra­ti­on and reco­very dif­fi­cult. The tri­na­miX Mul­ti-Mate­ri­al Films App helps you find out what’s real­ly inside.

In just seconds, you’ll know if your film is mono-mate­ri­al, con­ta­ins poly­ami­de (PA), or must be con­side­red multi-material.

What the App Detects

The appli­ca­ti­on uses a spe­cia­li­zed NIR detec­tion model to clas­si­fy fle­xi­ble pla­s­tic films into three groups:

1. Mono-mate­ri­al films
   PE, PP, PET, or PA
2. PE films with poly­ami­de content
   The app detects PA and pro­vi­des an appro­xi­ma­te PA percentage
3. Mul­ti-mate­ri­al structures
   All other com­bi­na­ti­ons are flag­ged as non-mono-mate­ri­al (e.g., PE + EVOH, PET + PE)

This enables fast, relia­ble decis­i­on-making during design, R&D, or QA processes.

Example Outputs

• “Mono-mate­ri­al PE”
• “PE/PA film, PA con­tent: 21%”
• “Mul­ti­lay­er – not clas­si­fied as mono-material”

All results are cle­ar­ly shown in the app inter­face and saved to the secu­re cloud por­tal (optio­nal).

How It Works

This appli­ca­ti­on runs on the tri­na­miX PAL One mobi­le NIR spec­tro­me­ter, a pocket-sized device that con­nects wire­less­ly to your smart­phone or desktop.
