PRESS RELEASE

ONTARIO, CANADA—BE has sold an eight-layer AquaFrost line to J&A in Suzhou, Jiangsu, China. Philp Kwok, VP of sales at BE, says, "J&A is the largest barrier film producer in China and has always been a market leader in using the latest and most sophisticated technology to produce blown film. They already have three BE blown film lines. J&A studied our five-layer AquaFrost line in our Blown Film Technology Center and observed it in operation. They understand how they can benefit from our new AquaFrost technology."

AquaFrost is a downward blown water-quenched blown film process which uses all the same components of a conventional blown film line, except that they are upside down. An AquaRing is used to cool the film. The film produced by this process is suitable for applications such as packaging of fresh, frozen and processed meats, cheese, fish, seafood, and pasta.
