Polymers & Packaging

Polymers, long-chain molecules, have revolutionized packaging, offering versatile, durable, and protective solutions. They can be molded into various shapes and sizes, ensuring product safety during transport and storage. Polymers also provide effective barriers against moisture, oxygen, and contaminants, maintaining product freshness. Their lightweight nature reduces transportation costs and environmental impact, while their cost-effectiveness makes them a popular choice. Common polymers used in packaging include polyethylene (PE) for rigid containers and flexible films, polypropylene (PP) for heat-resistant food containers, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) for clear and flexible packaging, polystyrene (PS) for foam packaging, and polyester (PET) for transparent and strong beverage bottles.
