As polymer science has evolved since the discovery of plastics more than half a century ago, our industry has made available an increasingly sophisticated range of plastic materials, each of which is capable of meeting the ever greater challenges of modern living.

Whilst we give in this web site some simple explanations of the main material types used for plastic films, it should be remembered that each polymer can be formulated to provide a seemingly endless set of attributes, performance criteria and functionalities. In addition, each polymer solution can be subjected to a variety of processes (link) which bring further benefits and functions to effectively create a tailored solution for every aspect of our lives.

Without this enormous choice of highly versatile materials, used for everything from computers and mobile phones to protective packaging for our food, our lives would be very different.
