Status and Trends of Plastic Film Industry

Plastic Film Market has Broad Prospects
Plastic film production in China accounts for about 20% of the total output of plastic products, and it is one of the faster-growing categories in the production of plastic products. With our packaging, agriculture and other fields will not only increase the demand for plastic film, it is expected that the plastic film demand in China will be an increase in the rate of more than 9% annually, especially tpu film , its market prospect is very broad.
Application Areas of TPU Plastic Films
Seen form the applications of plastic film (thickness 0.06mm ~ 0.26mm) in China, the largest amount of variety, and the most widely used is packaging industry, its consumption accounts for about 2/3, followed by agriculture with Breathable Films about 30%, and then there is the feature film, such as a microporous membrane, shielding film, geomembrane etc. Theoretically almost all of the synthetic resin are likely to film, but has economic significance, become a commodity, and the largest amount is polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate esters (PET), ethylene / vinyl acetate, ethylene (EVA), polyamide (PA) and other resins. If the suitable plastics additives are added to the resin matrix, it can be prepared by a thin film of the various functions required. Production methods on the plastic film industry extrusion and calendering law, which extrusion method is divided into extrusion blown film, extrusion cast, extrusion stretch (also known as secondary molding) extrusion method application. The most widely used, especially for the processing is polyolefin film, and the calendering method is mainly used for the production of PVC film.
Thermo-shrinking Packaging Film
Currently in China, PVC shrink film is to gradually reduce the shrink. And films of PE, PP, PET, TPU and PA have developed rapidly, and the emergence of a multi-layer co-extruded composite heat shrinkable film. The now maximum of three co-extruded heat shrinkable thin film, for example, the film is a linear low density polyethylene as the intermediate layer, co-extruded polypropylene heat-shrinkable film as the inner and outer layers of the three-layered composite, since it has both the advantages of the PE and PP, its performance is superior to the monolayer film and membranes. The whole industry is already nearly 20 production shrink film, and its production capacity is from 40,000 tons to nearly 80,000 tons. Monolayer shrink packaging films can be widely used in fast food pasta, ceramics, tea sets, machinery parts, military machinery, hardware tools, construction and transport materials bundled package. Multilayer shrink film is mainly used in meat and other food packaging, as well as daily necessities of life, medicine and health products, cultural goods, such as packaging. It is predicted that China's market demand for shrink packaging films increased growth rate will be up to 20% in the next five years.
www.tpufilm.net is the first private enterprise with many TPU film production lines in China. Since 2006, our company has been engaged in R & D of TPU film products, and our polymer elastomer film has excellent characteristics of warping resistance, wear resistance, oilstain resistance, ageing resistance, weather resistance, high waterproofness and moisture permeability, hydrolysis resistance, temperature resistance, mould prevention, environmental protection, non-toxicity and recyclability and degradability.
