Plastic foils

Plastic foils

Plastic films and tapes made from materials such as PET, PP, TPU, PTFE, PVC, or PI are highly functional materials widely used across various industries. Depending on their chemical composition and properties, they offer advantages such as temperature and chemical resistance, electrical insulation, flexibility, transparency, and mechanical strength.

Typical Application Areas

  • Cable Industry: Plastic films are used for electrical insulation, shielding, moisture barriers, or mechanical reinforcement in data, power, and specialty cables.

  • Electrical Insulation: Materials such as PET, PI, and PTFE are used as insulation films in electric motors, transformers, and generators — suitable even for high-temperature and high-voltage applications.

  • Packaging Industry: PP, PET, and PVC films are commonly used in food, pharmaceutical, and consumer goods packaging — offering barrier properties, tear resistance, and sealability.

  • Electronics: Polyimide (PI) and PET films are used in printed circuit boards, protective layers, film capacitors, and as substrates in flexible electronics.

  • Construction Industry: Plastic films like PE, TPU, or PVC serve as vapor barriers, protective layers, waterproofing membranes, and insulation components in building applications.

  • Printing Industry: Printable PET and PP films are used for high-quality labels, laminates, and transfer materials.

  • Adhesive Tape Manufacturing: Plastic films act as carrier materials for many types of adhesive tapes, offering strength, temperature resistance, and compatibility with various adhesives.

  • Decorative Films for Furniture: PVC and PET films are used for aesthetic surface finishes in furniture, providing design variety, scratch resistance, and easy cleaning.
