Flexible and rigid packaging based on polyolefins is widely used for food applications due to convenience, ease of handling, and adequate food protection properties.
For this reason packaging often contains layers of both PP and PE based on its functionality.
It works by bringing incompatible polymers – such as PP and PE – together by forming them into a homogenous polymer mixture that increases mechanical properties based on polymer modification.
