Sealant Films Market

Introduction

A sealant can be defined as a material that can be used to block the path of fluids through the surface or joints or openings in materials. There are many types of sealants ranging from weak or strong to flexible or rigid. Although sealants and adhesives are used interchangeably, there are considerable differences between both. Opposed to adhesives, sealants have higher elongation but lower strength.

Sealants mostly are used to fill gaps and resist relative movement of substrates. Like sealants, sealant films are also inert.

The sealant films market is fairly consolidated in nature. The market is marked by the presence of several small- and large-scale players who compete on the basis of price and product differentiation. Companies operating in the sealant films market are involved in research and development to find new material and application areas.

For example, Borealis AG recently developed TD310BF, TD315BF and TD309BF heat seal grades that provide excellent thickness profile, whereas Jindal Films has launched Metallyte 28 MH 388-ES, a multi-layer, cavitated, white metallised film with high seal strength and enhanced heat sealable layer.

The efforts of key market entities have drastically improved the quality of sealant films and opened new areas for their application. With the aforementioned developments in the sealant films market, the sale of sealant films is expected to surge and provide positive push for the market in the years to come.
