Film and Sheets

Both films and sheets are manufactured using processes like extrusion, blown film extrusion, cast film extrusion, and calendering.

Key Properties of Polymeric Films and Sheets:
  • Lightweight: Easy to handle and transport.
  • Flexibility: Can be easily molded, folded, or shaped.
  • Transparency: Can be produced in clear, translucent, or opaque forms.
  • Barrier Properties: Provide resistance to moisture, gases, and chemicals.
  • Durability: Resistant to tearing, puncturing, and environmental factors.
  • Customizability: Can be tailored in terms of thickness, color, texture, and surface finish.
  • Recyclability: Many polymeric films and sheets are recyclable, contributing to sustainability.
Packaging

Food Packaging:

  • Films: Used for wrapping fresh produce, snacks, and frozen foods (e.g., PE cling film, PP films).
  • Sheets: Used for trays, containers, and lids (e.g., PET sheets for microwaveable trays).

Pharmaceutical Packaging:

  • Films: Used for blister packs, pouches, and strip packaging.
  • Sheets: Used for pill containers and medical device packaging.

Industrial Packaging:

  • Films: Used for shrink wrap, stretch film, and protective packaging.
  • Sheets: Used for rigid boxes and protective liners.
