About Plastomers
Plastomers are polymer materials that have properties of both plastics and elastomers. When compared with conventional plastics, plastomers are soft and transparent. Plastomers possess narrow molecular weight distribution, which differentiates them from the conventional plastics or elastomers. They offer exceptional toughness and sealing properties. This is the major characteristic of plastomers responsible for its market growth and high demand. Plastomers granules are easily fused into the packaging materials such as packaging materials for food, sliced cold meats, vegetables, biscuits, and juices. These plastomers increases the shelf life of the food products and can be easily stored for a longer duration. Moreover, these packaging materials can be easily recycled.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global plastomers market to grow at a CAGR of 7.5% during the period 2016-2020.
