Applications

For KNF Corporation Nylon Film Products

Dental, Medical, Laboratory Kenclave brand films have found broad acceptance as autoclave bags and tubing.  Kenclave is heat stabilized and permeable to water.  These attributes allow institutions to sterilize their instruments inside Kenclave bags using conventional autoclaves.  Upon removal from the autoclaves, Kenclave functions as a barrier to bacteria and dirt, thus keeping the instruments sterile.  The use of Kenclave film products is a cost effective alternative to disposable instruments.

Clean Rooms Clean Rooms love Kenylon brand film products.  Kenylon bags are produced from layflat tubing, which insures that no dirt or debris gets inside the bag.  Since nylon is stronger, tougher, and has more abrasion resistance than other materials, products packaged in Kenylon remain safe and secure.  Kenylon has good gas and oxygen barrier, grease and oil resistance, and heat stability.  This makes it a more suitable form of packaging for many demanding applications.  Kenylon bags and lay-flat tubing are level 100 clean on the inside and won't slough off like polyethylene bags sometimes do.

Food Packaging and Processing Kenylon films are produced from FDA approved materials.  Kenylon has excellent aroma barrier and is resistant to oil and grease.  Packages made from Kenylon are unaffected by animal, vegetable or mineral oils and fats.  Since Kenylon has excellent gas barrier, it is exceptionally well suited for packaging under nitrogen, carbon dioxide or vacuum.  Kenylon's heat stability properties make it the preferred choice for boil-in-the-bag, cook-and-chill bags, oven roasting bags, and sausage casing.

Aerospace Kenylon and Kenclave film products are often used in aerospace applications because of their cleanliness and heat stability characteristics.  Structural composites are often cured in heat stabilized nylon bags because they are tough and heat resistant.  Sensitive instruments are best protected by clear, clean and strong Kenylon film bags and tubing.

Electronics Electronic components are packaged in Kenylon antistatic type bags because they are clean and protect circuits from static electricity.  The film's abrasion resistance prevents pinholes from forming in the bag, so that the packages integrity is maintained and expensive electronic components are not ruined.

Chemical Packaging Kenylon is an excellent aroma and gas barrier; therefore, it is often times used to package pesticides, fertilizers, fragrances, and chemicals.  Kenylon keeps the smells of these materials inside the package where they belong.  Kenylon is also resistant to grease, oil, fats, mineral acids, styrene, formic acid, and alkaline materials.

Retail and Institutional Cooking Bags Kenylon's resistance to heat, grease and oils make it a great cooking bag.  Poultry, red meats and vegetables all are cooked in Kenylon bags.  The bags can be used in conventional ovens, microwaves and boiling water. Kenylon cooking bags save cleanup and leave food moist and tasty.  Private label cooking bags are our specialty.

Solvent Recovery Still Liners Because of Kenylon's excellent resistance to heat and chemicals, it is the preferred bag for lining solvent recovery still kettles.  After all the solvents are cooked off, the residuals are easily disposed of in the convenient Kenylon bag.

Disposable Hot Air Ducts The cheapest and easiest way to duct hot air and chemical vapors is with Kenylon lay-flat film tubing.  Kenylon film tubing is light weight and easy to handle and dispose.
