They also add important characteristics, such as
SWELLCOAT® water-blocking, water repellence, adhe-
sion, color, and wear and UV-resistance to these and
many other applications.

In addition,
various rigid thermoplastics can have reinforcements and/or additives, such as fillers and fibers or color
masterbatches, which not only can alter the resultant properties of the substrate, but also the surface chemistry.

Predictions
Gartner predicts circular economies will replace linear economies in 10 years,
noting that supply chain leaders must adapt to circular models in order to
keep up in a marketplace with a growing emphasis on sustainability.

Today, thanks to a development cooperation
between a leading global supplier of additive and
colorant masterbatches and a major producer
of polyolefin thermoplastics, packaging film
producers have the opportunity to select film-
grade polypropylene for sealing layers that are
highly transparent, can be efficiently processed and
converted, and yield film that provides an excellent
seal and yet still enables easy opening.
