Strategic Analysis to Understand the Competitive Outlook of Thermal Films Market
Global Thermal Film Market: An Overview Thermal films are flexible films that can be used for lamination and packaging in several end-use industries. Thermal films are commonly made up of polyethylene terephthalate, nylon or polypropylene. The use of thermal films helps in achieving superior aesthetics and a smooth flat surface. The most common application of thermal films is lamination over retail shopping bags, book covers, magazines and more. Applications of thermal films are decided by the physical attributes of the substrate material used for the manufacturing of thermal films. Polyester based thermal films are employed for high-speed lamination, as these films possess superior adhesion and resistance against abrasion. This makes polyester-based thermal films a suitable choice for printing stocks that require heavy ink coverage. However, nylon-based films are capable of withstanding humid conditions without losing their structural integrity and form. Thus, these thermal ...
