Vital importance

Smart IBC offers optimized internal bubble cooling through an advanced air exchange system. To complement the solution and ensure maximum film quality, Octagon developed WaxControl – a special fabric that wraps the IBC and effectively retains oily impurities (wax/paraffin) released during the extrusion process, maximizing production efficiency.

Essential complement

WaxControl - Special fabric for IBC wrapping

Octagon’s WaxControl is a special fabric developed exclusively to wrap the IBC, offering effective retention of wax and oily impurities released during the blown film extrusion process. This complementary solution to Smart IBC maximizes production efficiency with more operating time and fewer interruptions.

Proven retention process:

WaxControl demonstrates progressive effectiveness in retaining oily impurities, with visible results from the first days of operation. The gradual saturation process of the fabric ensures continuous protection for extended periods, significantly reducing the need for cleaning and maintenance stops.
