Increasing Demand for Packaged Food Products and Launch New Products to Augment Growth of High Barrier Film and Coatings Market
High barrier film and coatings are used in preservation and protection of packaged products against moisture, heat, or light. They are also used in manufacture of printed electronics. High-barrier films are used in many industries and environments to control the entry of certain particles, gases or liquids. These barriers can be produced from a variety of materials including polyethylene, polycarbonate, polypropylene, or silver nitride. They are also used for the control of temperature in many industrial processes and to protect sensitive equipment from damage. The protective nature of these films means that they are often applied to enclosed areas, such as ductwork, or to non-pressurized surfaces, such as tanks or pipes.
