About Rigid Transparent Plastics
Rigid transparent plastics are available in various forms including blow-molded, injection-molded, extruded, and thermoformed. Rigid transparent plastics are commonly used in building and construction, electrical and electronics, automotive, medical and other applications including optical lenses, aircraft transparencies, and solar applications. Rigid transparent plastics have superior quality and features compared to ordinary plastics. They are more resistant to heat, abrasion, and chemicals and tougher.
Technavio’s analysts forecast the global rigid transparent plastics market to grow at a CAGR of 5.96% during the period 2017-2021.
