It can and often does replace more traditional construction materials, such as glass and acrylic, in applications where transparency and clarity are important.
Examples include:
• Barrier technologies that preserve the shelf-life and quality of food, beverages, medicine and other perishable goods through high-performance materials that require less plastic
• Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation
• Breakthrough technologies that minimize wastewater and improve the recyclability of materials and packaging across a spectrum of end uses

Thermoplastics are used in various applications, including PP, PS, ABS, copolyester,
SAN, PC etc..
For example, a TPE that can bond to PC does not bond to PP, vice versa.
The failure mode is cohesive on
PP and adhesive on all other substrates.
