What Trends Are Shaping The Polyethylene Lamination Films Market?
Advancements in technology are becoming an increasingly popular trend within the polyethylene lamination films market. The primary firms in this market are focusing on devising novel technological solutions to reinforce their standings. Take for example, in February 2022, POLIFILM EXTRUSION, a company based in Germany that specializes in extrusion and protective films, introduced a technology new to the market—the self-laminating polyethylene (PE) film. This film is expected to be activated via corona treatment and it doesn't necessitate any additional adhesive, taking the lamination films to a new tier. The innovative development has the potential to be executed within an hour, further eliminating the need for an adhesive layer, allowing for a greater recyclability of the laminate. Moreover, this technology eradicates the need for lamination machinery, hence providing a sustainable solution.
