Plastic films
The most important function of films is to protect products and materials in order to maintain or extend the shelf life or durability of the products inside. It is therefore necessary for films to undergo a wide range of tests to ensure their quality and performance for the intended application.
Packaging films
These are made of a wide range of different plastics and are important packaging materials that help to better protect products. They ensure the integrity or freshness of food or have a collecting function for transportation. The most important film types in this area are multi-layer composite films, blown films, flat films, shrink and stretch films, and air cushion films.
Agricultural films
These are films used in agriculture and horticulture. They are used as ground cover for soil such as arable land and beds, for example, for crop advancement as mulch or asparagus films, or to cover greenhouses and tunnels in vegetable, fruit and flower growing. They are also used in the preparation of animal feed as silage films and tubes to cover feed silage and as stretch films for machine wrapping of bales of material for silage preparation.
Construction films
These are usually waterproof films used in the construction industry to protect construction sites, buildings and building materials from moisture, dirt and other damage. Depending on the exact application, different types of film are used, e.g. simple construction site covering films, barrier layer films for floor tiles or also vapor barrier or vapor retarder films, as well as underlay and roof lining membranes
Films for the automotive industry
Vehicle films have been growing in popularity for years. It is no longer just taxis, sports cars and premium vehicles that are wrapped with films. In addition to full wrapping, vehicle owners can also choose to wrap individual body parts or windows. Other films are used to protect particularly vulnerable areas such as the loading sill or the paintwork at the front and bottom.
